...An operating segment is defined as a component of a business that engages in business activities, earns revenues, and incurs expenses. Other characteristics of operating segments include results being regularly reviewed by the entity’s decision maker, which the title may vary from entity to entity. This is done to allocate resources and assess performance. Financial information must also be available to the public for review. After reviewing the case, Sell-It Products Inc. has a total of seven operating segments that are in accordance with the information listed about operating segments. The seven segments include Shampoo, Cosmetics, Diapers, Paper Towels, Jazzy Juice, Blasto Energy Drink, and Fruit & Granola Snack. According to ASC 280-10, a reportable segment is an operating segment or an aggregation of two or more segments that exceeds certain quantitative thresholds. In regards to Sell-It Products Inc., there are four reportable segments which include Cosmetics, Paper Towels, Blasto Energy Drink, and Jazzy Juice Juice and Fruit & Granola Snack. The threshold test that was performed was the revenue test which means that the segments revenue must be at least 10 percent of combined revenue of all segments. Although Jazzy Juice and Fruit & Granola Snack did not pass the revenue test, I made an exception for them because they have similar characteristics when compared to each other. I categorized them as aggregated. Together, they meet the threshold for the revenue and are now...

...passion for food, traditional family values and the customized services they offered to the SLF residents. Frank was named CEO of the company over his other siblings including his sister Jennifer Calveta who was more suited for the job, now Frank was left with the option of expanding their business by acquiring Great South West Dining (GSD) or to enter into the hospital segment and diversify their business and at least try and come close to meeting his promise to his father. Analysis The United States Census Bureau’s survey showed that only 25% of the total SLF’s in USA had contracted to food services, this survey alone shows that there is a great potential for growth in the SLF’s segment and therefore it would have been meaningful for Frank to buy Great South West Dining but the eye popping debt figures that came before him alone are sufficient to say that it would not be a feasible solution and it would be much better decision for Frank to diversify Calveta Dining Services by extending to other segments, like providing food services to the hospitals. Few reasons why Frank should extend to other segments are. 1. Frank considered moving into the Education Sector, ad...

...equipment and many more miscellaneous items are listed, bought or even sold on a daily basis. In other word, eBay generally target online auction and shopping communities. However, eBay also has business strategies to target specific segment of the market. From the entire wide range of items available, eBay originally was set up to promote and sell antique and collectibles. This causes eBay to focus more on this segment market. Another key market segment for eBay would be the car and motor enthusiast. This is because of the unexpected popularity with the users, which is the second most visited segment on the site. Due to this, eBay has been focusing more on these two segments as their primary market target.

...caters to the three major segments of the power tools business namely, Industrial, Tradesmen, and Consumer. D&B’s market share is almost the same as Milwaukee and Makita in the Industrial and Consumer segment but with regards to the Tradesmen segment, B&D is behind. Despite its major presence in the industry, it faces a problem in the Tradesmen segment which only holds about a 9% share. This problem has been caused by a bad perception of the tradespeople regarding B&D due to its expansion into the Consumer segment shown by its successful Dustbuster® hand-held vacuum. D&B’s expansion to the Consumer segment has proved to be successful but it has also affected D&B’s image with the tradesmen who worked on residential construction. One tradesman stated, “. . . Black & Decker makes a good popcorn popper, and my wife just loves her Dustbuster, but I’m out here trying to make a living. . .” Tradesmen such as, electricians, plumbers, framers, roofers and etc are workers who are expected to show up to work with their own tools and this segment usually purchase their tools from home centers; and they regularly purchase tools for replacement basing their choices on conversations between co-workers at the job site. The fact that the households of these tradesmen use D&B as house appliances makes them think that D&B products won’t hold up in the work place making them choose other brands that focused more on the tradesmen segment.

...does the product aid in consumers doing?). In distinguishing the difference between the two Nike’s segments (sports and casual users), it is glaringly clear that each of the segments would have it completely the opposite ways. To the athletes, a shoe is a tool for them in achieving their goal and winning competitions. The athletes would be looking at the benefits that certain shoes would give them and have an edge over the other shoes. Better stability, better protection, better cushioning, etc. In turns these shoes would give them added value because with better stability would give better performance (more speed, etc), better protection would give them the assurance and avoidance of injury, better cushioning might give them the comfort that enables them to go the extra miles in achieving their goals. However, to the casual users, these attributes, benefits and values might have completely different meanings. The attributes are likely to emulate their heroes or even just following some trends. The benefits are it gives them status, recognition and to fit in. The value that these shies give them is no more than self-esteem. 1b. 1c. Marketers should carefully analyze the customer-product relationship in each target segment and develop marketing and promotion strategies accordingly that is appealing and appropriate to each one of them.

...raise the debt-to-capital ratio to 55% to 60%. If they leave the problem unaddressed, they might risk bankruptcy in the future. Analysis: Both of Champion and Cameron Iron Works were in related industries, automotive and petroleum equipment, which were profitable businesses. Cooper Industries was already doing those two businesses. For the opportunities identified in the case have to do with the purchase of Champion and Cameron Iron Works, both of them have a strategic fit with Cooper Industries’ long-term plans. For example, Champion has a poor management, old technology, and failures at diversification. But Cooper Industries is good at this field. Cameron Iron Works had a biggest Compression and Energy Business Segment until 1981. But it was the smallest segment of Cooper Industries. Moreover, Cameron Iron Works is a strong competitor of Cooper Industries. By buying its Cameron Iron Works, Cooper Industries would only have major competitor. Also, it would help Cooper Industries to manage its Five Forces, such as avoids high entry barriers and eliminates a competitor. Recommendation: In my point of view, Cooper Industries should buy both Champion and Cameron Iron Works. First of all, Cooper...

Her key features tend to put her into segment 1 Steve: 27 single late adopter of technology convenience is important to him thus most likely fits into segment 4 as he doesn’t have the newest technology and his adoption is slower. Regina most likely fits into segment 3 as value for the computer is quite high and she disagrees highly with q1, she also would search for the best price when looking to buy as she is younger and does not necessarily have the disposable income to upgrade. The advantage to doing both the qualitative and quantitative data is they both may show different types of customers you may not have originally thought of. Qualitative data really shows you who a person is and what they do however quantitative data substantiates the qualitative or turns it on its head because it is what the consumer perceives.

...to the case study, Dana Wheeler can invest in one of the following 3 scenarios to generate better output for ‘The Fashion Channel’ (TFC): Scenario1: Broad appeal to a cross segment of Fashionistas, Planner & Shoppers and Situationalists Advantages: Investing in marketing and advertisement campaign for new target segment, will lead to increase in the rating from 1.0 to 1.2 and also increase in average viewers. Disadvantages: Since there is no real change in viewers’ type and programming, the CPM will drop by 10% or more and competitors will continue taking its market share. Scenario2: Focus on Fashionistas segment Advantages: This segment has the highest interest in fashion and is strong in the highly valued 18-34 female demographic, which will lead to increase in CPM. Disadvantages: Fashionistas is the smallest segment in four clusters .Require spending of additional $15million per year on programming to attract and retain interest of this segment. Scenario3: Focus on both Fashionistas plus Shoppers & Planners clusters Advantages: Dual-targeting will ensure the average viewers and rating. It is expected that rating will grow to 1.2 with a potential CPM of $2.50 Disadvantages: Require spending of additional $20million to ensure there were selections aimed at both segments. Recommendations: Observing the advantages and disadvantages of the three options, Scenario 3 looks to be the most appropriate option. Firstly, since the Fashionistas are one...
