...Together telecommunication companies keep people connected twenty-four hours a day seven days a week worldwide. Service Strategy Knowing the demand of today’s consumers, cellphone carriers have partnered with cellphone manufactures to offer a unified product and service.

It plays in a merit of ways in my day to day work activities. It is becoming ever increasingly more difficult to communicate especially people in my generation. I am a child of the 60’s and I would dare say that a good deal of my generation does not necessarily see the need to keep up with technology as far as communication go’s. It is demonstrated every day in cellphone and computer retail stores every day. Someone from my generation or older comes in four new cell phone or computer and either does not understand or does not want to upgrade. I tell myself all the time as the last time I’m going to buy a new cell phone or computer to try to keep up with the latest technology in communication. Just over a month ago about a brand new gateway computer and cellphone with windows 8 installed and both, with the latest software and applications on I could find all in the effort to maintain my relevancy as far as communication go’s.

Due to the Asian financial crisis in 1997, the company experienced tremendous loss, and made the difficult decision to revamp their brand image. Based on this strategic change, Samsung was able to experience increasing brand success, and in August 2003, became number 25 in the world’s most valuable brands, with an estimated valuation of $10.8 billion. Initially, the company’s turnaround strategy was what spearheaded the corporation into such tremendous success. During that time, Samsung’s marketing function was overhauled, so that it could support the new brand proposition. This case study analysis will measure the strength of Samsung’s brand and consider whether Samsung can pass Sony, which was ranked number 20 in the world, with a valuation of $13.2 billion. Finally, the role and responsibilities of the CMO will be discussed, along with how Samsung’s CMO Eric Kim, built influence for the company. Samsung’s Turnaround Strategy Samsung started out in the 1970’s as a low-cost electronics manufacturer. The company started out by selling its...

...IDENTIFYING COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES Video: Panera Bread Cohesion Case: Competitive Advantage:Business Dilemma To survive and thrive, an organization must create a competitive advantage. A competitive advantage is a product or service that an organization's customers place a greater value on than similar offerings from a competitor. Unfortunately, competitive advantages are typically temporary because competitors often seek ways to duplicate the competitive advantage. In turn, organizations must develop a strategy based on a new competitive advantage. When an organization is the first to market with a competitive advantage, it gains a first-mover advantage. The first-mover advantage occurs when an organization can significantly impact its market share by being first to market with a competitive advantage. FedEx created a first-mover advantage by creating its customer self-service software, which allows people and organizations to request parcel pickups, print mailing slips, and track parcels online. Other parcel delivery companies quickly began creating their own online services. Today, customer self-service on the Internet is a standard for doing business in the parcel delivery business. Page 14 As organizations develop their competitive advantages, they must pay close attention to their competition through environmental scanning. Environmental scanning is the acquisition and analysis of events and trends in the environment external to an organization. Information technology...

Consumers, who like the variety and the convenience of mobile phone allows the cellphone very accessible. According to The CDC statistics stated that one out of every four Americans has given up their landline phone and are now using their cellular phone exclusively. There are a few reasons why many consumers have, in huge numbers, ditched the hard-wired phone and relied solely on their cell phone. One of the reasons is that alternative means of communication have reduced the number of phone calls that phone users make. Many of these means of communication can be utilized via a cell phone. For example, many use their cell phone for obtaining and sending e-mail, messaging on Facebook and other social media sites, and SMS texting. The decline of landline phones and the rise in cell phone use does not simply mark a shift between one types of phone to another. The decline of the landline is also a reflection of how individuals have changed in our preferred means of communication. “The phone network is thus not just a technical infrastructure...
