...1. Cost of Quality Analysis A focus on quality management demands that the total cost and benefits of quality performance be first understood by everyone in the company. In order to successfully launch a companywide Six Sigma, the first step is to dig out all relative cost categories that associated with managing quality and quality failures. The marketing research and other similar costs categories should all be included in the Cost of Quality (CoQ) analysis. 1.1 Identification of Cost Categories Based on Roberta’s current CoQ analysis, there are 18 cost categories with question marks that she either did not have data for or wasn’t sure about including. For the prevention costs, Roberta is having problem with the costs of marketing research, customer/user perception surveys/clinics, supplier quality planning, supplier quality planning, quality program planning and reporting, and other prevention costs. As mentioned earlier in the case, Roberta wasn’t sure how the marketing manager would feel about including marketing research as a category in the CoQ because it seems that marketing research as well as the customer perception surveys have no direct relation with preventing product defects. In fact, the fast development and introduction of new product is a key factor that differentiates Aqua Fun from their competitors in the same market. To ensure the quality of the new products before they are launched into the market, it is essential for the company to develop effective and...

(Carbonated soft drinks are more commonly known as soda,pop, tonic,or soda pop in parts of the United States and Canada, or fizzy drinks in the U.K.; sometimes called minerals in Ireland) The name "soft drink" specifies a lack of alcohol by the way of contrast to the term "hard drink".

Beverages like colas, sparkling water, iced tea, lemonade, squash, and fruit punch are among the most common types of soft drinks, while hot chocolate,hot tea, coffe, milk,tap water, alcohol, and milkshakes do not fall into this classification. Many carbonated soft drinks are optionally available in versions sweetened with sugars or with non- caloric sweeteners ...

...Strategic Choice and Evaluation A multi-domestic strategy is defined as “a multi- domestic corporation that views itself as a collection of relatively independent operating subsidiaries each of which focuses on a specific market” (Miltenburg, 2009, p.7). The Coca Cola Corporation adopts the multi- domestic strategy. Coca Cola manufactures all products independently in each country depending on the external and internal environments of each country. Coca Cola must develop their strategies based on the nature of the culture, status, and people in each country. The factors that must be identified in order for Coca Cola to realize growth are value disciplines, the generic strategies, and the grand strategy. Value disciplines The value discipline model created by Michael Treacy and Fred Wierruna describes three alternative approaches to the generic strategy. Michael and Fred “believe that strategies must center on delivering superior customer value through one of the three value disciplines” (Pearson & Robinson, 2011, p. 185). The value disciplines are operational excellence, customer intimacy, or product leadership (Pearson & Robinson, 2011). Operational excellence is accomplished by a focus on lean and efficient systems, cost efficiency, and convenience so that consumes are provided with products they require at a minimum cost. Customer intimate corporations focus on establishing a long-term relationship with consumers through a focus on products or services. Product...

...Alejandro Portugal Martin Pretorius Iona Ramió Mateu OCEAN PARK CASE STUDY INTRODUCTION Ocean Park Hong Kong is a marine animal theme park located in the Southern District of Hong Kong. It was inaugurated in 1977 by the Government with the intention to bring somewhere where Hong Kong citizens could feel some sense of space as a large part of the population lived in a crowded locality. So it was inaugurated as a nonprofit organization that aimed to provide visitors a unique experience in entertainment, education, and conservation. Firstly, in the absence of competition, Ocean Park became really popular but existed without direction and focus. When Hong Kong's officials signed an agreement to bring Disneyland to Hong Kong in 1999, the Ocean Park's viability started to be questioned. By 2005, when Disneyland Hong Kong was inaugurated, Ocean Park was unprofitable and widely expected to lose out. Nevertheless, the Park responded with a development plan and showed their abilities for adaptation and turn threats into opportunities. It expanded the number of attractions and rides, raising the number of visitors, becoming the world's 13th most visited theme park and the ...
