...When looking at the price elasticity of Tyson products, we must also look at the determinants of the price elasticity of demand. Tyson’s products, chicken, beef, pork and prepared foods, all have a close substitute; people can choose to eat foods other than what Tyson provides. All of Tyson’s products can be considered a necessity since people need to eat in order to live. The cost of these products only uses up a small amount of a consumer’s budget, which generally makes Tyson’s goods less elastic. We can look at the market in which these products are sold in different ways: by brand and by product. Glenn and Patrick noted that the narrower a market is, the demand becomes more elastic (Glenn & Patrick, 2017). The market is narrower if we look at it in terms of product versus in terms of brand. All these determinants help set the price for Tyson’s chicken, beef, pork, and prepared products....

...Problem Solution for Best Snacks MMPBL 550 Best Snacks Problem Solution Stephanie Vickers MMPBL/550 March 23, 2012 Best Snacks Problem Solution For the past 100 years, Best Snacks, Inc. has been in the top two leading positions in the snack industry, making them an ideal investment for stockholders. Recently, in the last couple of years Best Snacks sales have declined, resulting in decreased stock prices, market share, and in second place in the industry. Contributing to these issues in the company is the lack of strong leadership, capable managers, and innovative work environment. Employee morale has suffered because staff does not feel encouraged to be creative or that their opinions are valued. By benchmarking other companies, Best Snacks can determine which strategies they can implement to continue their previous successful history. Best Snacks has the opportunity to reorganize their structure to promote innovative ideas, improve management skills, and realign the vision with a new organizational culture. There have been no product or service innovations in the past 5 years; instead, previously successful marketing methods have been improved or extended. For example, the most recent product information had new package sizes. Best snacks needs to remain competitive and an industry leader by researching, analyzing, and surveying today’s consumers in order to develop new...

...MARKET RISK PPC experiences significant to market risk in its operations. The following analyzes this risk in regards to its three main components: competitive rivalry, segments and seasonality. Competitive Rivalry PPC recognizes competition as a significant risk to its operations in its 2012 10-K. The company notes that the market remains fairly concentrated, with the four main chicken producers accounting for over 50% of the US industry’s market share. The company also discloses that it operates as the second largest in the US with a market share of 17.4%.1 As a result PPC discloses this market concentration and competitive rivalry as significant risk factors to the company. PPC does not disclose any additional data for the analysis of this risk in its 10-K. This is not uncommon, however given a company’s financials focus primarily on that company. According to informal company disclosures in PPC’s 2012 fiscal year-end earnings the company has seen significant improvement recently in its competitive positioning. According to Bill Lovette, COE of PPC, the company achieved its operational goal of attaining...

...Kentucky Fried Chicken and the Global Fast-Food Industry Case Analysis 1.0 Source Problem The change in demographic trends in the past two decades has seen an overall increase in costs for KFC and other fast food chains. Due to immense price competition and saturation of the US market, KFC is unable to raise its prices to cover the increased costs. The slower US population growth rate, oversupply of fast food chains and the minuscule 1% growth in the US restaurant industry per year has resulted in KFC¡¦s focus on expansion of their international markets. 2.0 Secondary Problems 2.1 Short Term - New product introductions are slow. - Market research inefficiency. Eg. Germans were not accustomed to buying takeout or ordering over the counter. McDonalds performed better in this aspect. - Crispy strips and chicken sandwiches cannibalized the fried chicken sales. 2.2 Long Term - Differences between the PepsiCo and KFC corporate strategy and culture. - PepsiCo/KFC poor relationship with franchisees. - Increased competition from direct and indirect competitors. - Reduction in market share in the US market. - Risks involved in international operations: long distances made it difficult to control quality and service, increased transportation and other resource costs, and time, culture and language differences increased communication and operational problems. - Fast food sales grew at a slower rate (5%) in comparison to other sectors in the restaurant industry. ...

...criticism and the gender roles in key characters of The Hunger Games trilogy. It evaluates the purpose of Suzanne Collins' use of breaking down gender roles and how that shapes the character outside that character's own gender. Themes of survival and humanity are explored and evaluated, putting a specific emphasis on how those themes correspond with gender roles. Both females and males are examined; first in the Hunger Games universe, and then applied to the twenty first century stereotypes of gender roles. All the novels in the trilogy— The Hunger Games (2008), Catching Fire (2009), and Mockingjay (2010)— as well as a criticism from Kristi Tyson, author of Modern Literary Theory of Sexes (2011). The essay explores the question of whether gender is a determining factor of what makes a strong character. Through the research and analysis of the pieces, the essay resolves that Collins actually by-passes gender roles, focusing more on a character's ability to adapt to both gender stereotypes in order to have a well rounded understanding of society. Genders are not the determining factor of a strong character, because gender roles do not matter in the long run of being a human being in general. Word Count: 212 On September 14, 2008, Suzanne Collins published her novel, The Hunger Games. The twisted story line of a barbaric showdown was an instant hit. Katniss Everdeen, the main protagonist of the series, became an idol— girls thought she was a new symbol of independence...

...Marginal Analysis - Project Paper 1 - Week 2 1. Everyone’s Gasoline problem Gasoline prices across the United States are not only dependent on the amount of crude oil available but the ability for those companies to get their crude oil to refineries to refine different blends of gasoline and sell the gasoline produced to distributors. These distributors then sell the gasoline available to consumers at the pump. There are a few problems with keeping a low price at the pump. Many companies can drill and pump for oil and ship millions of gallons of crude oil to the United States. However, being able to properly store that crude oil and having enough refineries to take the crude oil and refine it to gasoline is a huge problem as gasoline is dependent on refineries. In the Pacific Northwest are dependent on five refineries and BP, Tesoro, Shell, US Oil, ConocoPhillips refining. (1.http://waoil.org/washington-refineries/) Problems with these refineries have been a abrupt fires at the BP refinery causing a 100-day shut-down and problems with having enough capacity to produce enough gasoline to keep up with demand, which has created a production shortage. During the 100-day shortage gasoline had to be shipped in from other sources to make up the gap in production at a cost to both the producer and the consumer. Also sale of gasoline shipped to Canada, Oregon, and California have attributed to Demand Quantity of gasoline available to the consumer. In the last year gasoline prices in...

...business you selected. As an entrepreneur one must be willing to take risks and face uncertainty in order to pursue an opportunity and to make a profit (Scarborough, 2012). 7-Eleven is a very successful brand and franchise that is known worldwide. As a frequent patron of this established, an opportunity has been identified to directly compete with 7-Eleven. As a competitor in the convenience store market the establishment would be called G’s Stop N’ Go. As a direct competitor, research is necessary to understand the strengths and weaknesses of 7-Eleven to be able to compete and make effective decisions. From state to state and city to city 7-Eleven’s can be found everywhere are very visible and known. But based on the companies SWOT analysis a weakness that has been identified was the hacking of ATM machines that negatively impacted consumers’ loyalty (7-Eleven, Inc., 2013). FBI has investigated the case and stated that a Citibank server that processes ATM withdrawals at 7-Eleven convenience stores had been breached. ATMs hackings at 7-Eleven stores reflects the company's weak application security system (7-Eleven, Inc., 2013). To take advantage of this weakness, G’s Stop N’ Go would have industry proven application security system that are secure and up-to-date. That way customers can make purchases and use the ATM to make transaction without fear of hacking. Next G’s Stop N’ Go must have a wide selection of products at different price points to serve a wide range of customers...

...will not be between companies but rather between supply chains. If this does, in fact, represent the future, how will these chains actually compete against each other? And what can practitioners do now in anticipation of this future? In contemplating the much-ballyhooed supply chain vs. supply chain (SC vs. SC) proposition, we first sought examples of this competition in action. Yet for as many examples of SC vs. SC competition that we found, there were at least as many places where the model didn’t fit. On the one hand, we saw vivid examples where one company or a series of companies had designed supply networks to act with singular focus against other unique companies or groups of companies—for example, Brax, Perdue Farms, and Tyson Foods. Yet more often, we found a different kind of competitive scenario playing out, as in the automotive, aerospace, and personal computer (PC) industries, where many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) share common suppliers. (The sidebar on page 49 gives more detail on these and other examples where supply chain vs. supply chain competition does—and does not—work.) Although true SC vs. SC competition...
