...Unit 3 Introduction to Marketing – P1 - describe how marketing techniques are used to Market products in two organisations [IE] In this unit, I will be exploring the aspect of marketing in the business world. I will explore the techniques used by two contrasting businesses to be able to identify the differences between their techniques with a high degree of clarity. The 4 P’s: Product- A product is seen as an item that satisfies what a consumer demands. It is a tangible good or an intangible service. Tangible products are those that have an independent physical existence. Typical examples of mass-produced, tangible objects would be the common razor blade and a motor. Price- the price of a product is essential if any development in the market is to be made. This is because a decent price is the only thing at the end of the day that attracts a customer. Price comparisons to competitors must be considered as obviously, if the product is the same but the price is higher, not many if any customers will choose to buy the available product. A variation within the prices within a calendar year is good to do as during times such as Christmas, sales tend to rise as people are desperate to buy gifts even as late as a day before. This causes sales to rocket. If discounts are made, it is possible that a huge amount of sales in just one day. Place- the area in which a business’s deploys its service is hugely important. This is because if its area is filled with competitors trying...

...Introduction to the fuel market Fuel is the most important commodity in our daily lives and it is one of the main inputs in the economic sectors such as transport, construction and so on. If war occurs in Country A, which is the largest oil producing country in the world, the fuel supply will be disrupted and the economic problems will exist in countries around the world. Let us have a look into a real example of this with the history in world oil market: In 1979 and 1980, events in Iran and Iraq led to round of crude oil price increases (Williams, 2009). It resulted in the loss of 2 to 2.5 million barrels per day of oil production between November 1978 and June 1979 in Iran. At one point, production almost stopped the progress. The Iranian uprising was the immediate cause of what would become the highest price in World War Two. However, its impact on prices would have been limited and of relatively short duration had it not been for subsequent events. Shortly after the revolution, production was up to 4 million barrels per day. In September 1980, Iran already weakened by the revolution invaded by Iraq. By November, the combined production of both countries was only a million barrels per day and 6.5 million barrels per day less than a year before. Consequently worldwide crude oil production was 10 percent lower than in 1979. The combination of the Iranian revolution and the Iraq-Iran War cause crude oil prices to more than double increasing from $14 in 1978 to $35 per...

Market research is the method of gathering and analyzing information about customers, competitors and the market. Market research is used when companies want to focus on things like market trends, customer habits and lifestyle, what price customers will pay for a product and what competition exists. This type of research assists companies build an idea on how competitive the market is also business owners can price their products efficiently with the understanding of the current market research. Primary research This involves the collection of new information for a specific purpose. The following are 3 examples of various methods for conducting primary research. 1. Observation, Involves watching some type of behaviours. Eg: watching customers shop, the observer can watch how long customers spend in a particular aisle and which products they look at. This type of observation is very useful in providing information about the best possible layout for a supermarket, and the sorts of display and offer that appeal to customers.The main advantage is that the researcher watches behaviours first-hand, the results is therefore more accurate. The main disadvantage of observation is that is it very time consuming and hence expensive. 2. Experimentation, the purpose of an experiment is to...

...Research Methods for Strategic Managers to Aid in Decision Making Abstract [P1] Managers can be trained to make better decisions. They also need a supportive environment where they won’t be unfairly criticised for making wrong decisions and will receive proper support from their colleague and superiors. A climate of criticism and fear stifles risk-taking and creativity; managers will respond by ‘playing it safe’ to minimise the risk of criticism which diminishes the business’ effectiveness in responding to market changes. It may also mean managers spend too much time trying to pass the blame around rather than getting on with running the business. The study is based on all-embracing research to assemble information from a variety of sources such as internet, interview and books. The research was conducting on the decision making in the different economic scenario data was collected and results were evaluated. Introduction [P1] [1.1] Some decisions are difficult because of the need to take into account how other people in the situation will respond to the decision that is taken. The analysis of such social decisions is more often treated under the label of game theory, rather than decision theory, though it involves the same mathematical methods. From the standpoint of game theory most of the problems treated in decision theory are one-player games (or the one player is viewed as playing against an impersonal background situation). In the emerging socio-cognitive engineering...

Why is credit risk analysis an important component of FI risk management? What recent activities by FIs have made the task of credit risk assessment more difficult for both FI managers and regulators? Credit risk management is important for FI managers because it determines several features of a loan: interest rate, maturity, collateral and other covenants. Riskier projects require more analysis before loans are approved. If credit risk analysis is inadequate, default rates could be higher and push a bank into insolvency, especially if the markets are competitive and the margins are low. Credit risk management has become more complicated...

That is why after the 1965/1966 crisis and also after the 1997 crisis, lowering the inflation rate is a top priority in which the government and Bank Indonesia has succeeded admirably. In three years, inflation can be derived from 650 percent (1996) to 9 percent (1969), after 1997 inflation can also be reduced from 70 percent (1998) to only 5 percent (2003). But stability is not just for the sake of stability, but for something larger that is equitable and growth. After rising fuel prices, the prices become so high that people's purchasing power is still low. Economic growth indicate that the government has not been able to open employment opportunities to the people. Meanwhile, the business world also slows down.
