...We’ve Got Rhythm! Medtronic Corporation’s Cardiac Pacemaker Business Situational Analysis Cardiac Pacemaker, considered to be one of the greatest engineering feats of the 20th century, was invented by Medtronic Corporation, an US based organization. Medtronic dominated the early pacemaker market of the 1950-60’s being the first-mover into the domain. However, the scenario transformed promptly in the following decade, with the cropping up of steep competition, accompanied by accelerated technological changes etc. and the organization’s market share got squeezed down to close to half of the previous figure as a result of their futility in creating new & advanced products right on time, severely harming their brand reputation. However, Medtronic regained their market & product leadership from the late 1980’s through the timely invention of a path-breaking, rate responsive pacemaker named Activitrax, followed by a thorough revamp of their incorporated processes and systems. The gross lack of coordination plaguing the company’s new product development process, resulting directly into the failure to respond fittingly to the market demands or changes, was gradually got rid-off via inculcating the management philosophies (like, assigning highest priorities to the commitments made, creation of a sense of urgency, fetching greater employee productivity, unifying the management and employees etc.). New performance milestones (cycle time, unit product costs, innovative products...

...levels of value added and living standards. Porter contends, furthermore, that these national advantages may be difficult to replicate elsewhere, and that they may be embedded in a specific geographical location or cluster offering advantages in the acquisition of technology, knowledge, capital, skills, support structure, and so on. [pic] Porter seeks to explain why companies and industries have emerged in some countries and not others, and why certain economies have expanded in recent decades while others have stagnated or declined. In Competitive Strategy, published in 1980, he dealt with matters of industrial structure, competitor behaviour and the formulation of corporate strategy (M.E.Porter, Competitive Strategy: Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1980). Successful firms, he contended, have to guard against the activities of existing rivals, buyers, suppliers, new entrants, and potential providers of substitute products. They must, furthermore, acquire a position within each industry where they gain the greatest profit from the value added to a product as it goes through each process stage to reach the consumer. They must adopt strategies of price competitiveness, product differentiation, or the application of either in specialist markets, and so gain the necessary competitive advantage over rivals and an...

...Marketing Comparison: International and Domestic Australia and the United States Marketing Comparison: International and Domestic Australia and the United States As defined by the American Marketing Association,'Marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating, and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders' (AMA, 2004, 2).

...force of 30 employees, Salatino was still able to achieve success and effectively compete with its competitors. Why Joe’s employees need to understand the importance of how people form perceptions and make attributions? Perception is a process which involves the recognition and interpretation of stimuli which register our senses. It relates to how we make sense of our environment and sensation refers to basic stimulation of the sense organs. Understanding the perception of people is essentially important. The role that perception of a customer plays in a business transaction is very much significant for the growth of the organization, as it is due to the perception of an individual which affects the outcomes of the conclusion that an individual draws on a particular good, product or service (Wilson & Rookies, 2000, p. 2-3). In the case study of Joe Salatino, the President of Great Northern American, it is evident that the understanding of the perception of the customers is essentially important for the employees working in Joe’s firm.
