...Consumer Analysis: Victoria’s Secret | MKTG 425-101 | Michelle Fox, Tyler Gullivan, Shannon Johnston, Sara Seeger, Colin Watts | Executive Summary Victoria’s Secret is one of, if not the most popular women’s lingerie and clothing store in the United States. They are known for their higher priced, sexy, and sometimes promiscuous clothing. Victoria’s Secret has come up with many different innovations after first opening their door, such as a make-up line, body care line, and PINK teenage line. The next logical step is for Victoria’s Secret to create a baby clothing line. The baby clothing line, entitled Baby Secret, would have various types of infant and toddler clothing, and would be classic and simple, yet fashion-forward. A focus group was interviewed to find out their feelings on the Victoria’s Secret brand as a whole, and the new baby line. From these findings, a rationale was built which helped form a new target segment, examples of possibly baby products, and recommendations of company changes in strategy and tactics. All of these elements confirmed the original proposition that the Victoria’s Secret new baby clothing line is the next logical step in the Victoria’s Secret expansion plan in order to generate more revenue, and capture a different target market. By capturing a different target segment with the baby clothing line, the hope is that these customers will become loyal Victoria’s Secret customers in future years.

...often recognized for its overall excellence. As with any institution of higher education, this standard of excellence directly relates to the faculty members, whose efforts support the Grand Valley mission of “educating students to shape their lives, their professions and their societies,” and to the senior management and staff of the university, who lead and support these efforts. A key part of success is the stability of the workforce and the implementation of the transference of leadership and the community culture to those who will be members of the faculty and staff in 2010 and beyond. Compounding the need for planning is the widespread concern that the imminent retirement of the “baby boomers” will cause an exodus of talent in a very short timeframe. Without a firm plan, such turnover of talent could make it difficult to sustain the quality of the faculty, leadership and staff of Grand Valley. To assure university leadership, our community, and stakeholders that Grand Valley is prepared for its workforce of the future, President Haas charged the Human Resource Planning Task Force to study this important issue and report to the campus community. The task force studied Grand Valley data, considering projections of retirements, faculty growth, and programmatic needs of the university. Additionally, we considered compensation, benefits and the budgetary impact of our planning. While retirement is voluntary with no mandatory or encouraged age of retirement, the typical retirement...

Now, new research suggests that violence in the workplace also has jumped dramatically, with workplace killings up 50 percent in the past year alone.
