This idea of storing pictures in a scrapbook has been around for a very along time. Most of the products that are available such as acid and wood-products used in paper can damage the photographs. New technology has come along in recent years that include acid-free paper and has revolutionized the method of preserving photos.

...Rubbermaid has won several awards for their marketing innovations. The company is well-known for its synthetic rubber materials and the application of those materials to develop innovative products that has led to the creation of profitable products. The case mentions three innovative and unique products developed by Rubbermaid. The director of product management had stated that consumers had been requesting for help in organizing the garages and suggested that storing tools efficiently was the number one complaint by homeowners about garages. So, the first product discussed was the Tool Tower, which was a plastic rack designed to hold long and short handle tools in one place. It was easy to assemble and required little space. Customers loved it! The next product discussed was the High-Heat Scraper, which came to be when a Rubbermaid business team noticed that chefs preferred synthetic rubber scrappers instead of metal spatulas when using nonstick cookware. Rubbermaid took the initiative and developed a new scraper of pliable synthetic rubber. The product was perfect and could sustain temperatures to up to 500 degrees. The last innovative idea the case discusses is the Hardware Blue. Rubbermaid came to know that there was an increase in tool boxes and workshop organizer purchases and wanted to test how women shoppers would react to different colors. With the utilization of focus groups, Rubbermaid discovered a new color. Hardware Blue outsold all other colors and appealed to both...

...INTRODUCTION Leadership is the ability to evaluate and or forecast a long term plan or policy and influence the followers towards the achievement of the said strategy. Job satisfaction is the level of contentment a person feels regarding his or her job. This feeling is based on an individual's perception of satisfaction. Job satisfaction can be influenced by a person's ability to complete required tasks, the level of communication in an organization, and the way management treats employees. There are often two different levels of job satisfaction: affective job satisfaction and cognitive job satisfaction. Affective job satisfaction is a person's emotional feeling toward the job as a whole. Cognitive job satisfaction is how satisfied a person feels concerning an aspect of his or her job, such as pay, hours, or benefits. The connection between leadership and job satisfaction is a factor of the business culture that can have far-reaching consequences. In the best of scenarios, managers and other leaders within the company structure inspire employees to take pride in their work and also feel competent in the tasks they are assigned. This goal is pursued using a number of different strategies, helping to create a working situation that enhances employee satisfaction in general, and satisfaction with the job in particular. The end result is that the company enjoys a higher level of productivity, there is a lower amount of employee turnover, and the working environment tends to be...

Product The product which this business plan is about is a product which we intend to call Mr Grip. Mr Grip is a grip for sports products that takes a long time to wear down compared to other grips.

We’re also going to make them in every county colour’s for the hurling teams around the country. Also different colours so people can choose their favourite colours.

...A. Product description: Finking’s Running Shoes. Traditional sneakers may not provide the support and comfort consumer’s need, resulting in foot or lower-back pain. However, Finking’s running shoes with special design could protect consumer’s foot and improve her/his exercise performance, since Finking have three unique features regarding materials. First, two types of rubber on the outsole: carbon rubber is a stiff and heavy material, while blown rubber is lighter-weight, cushioned and flexible. Additional, the midsole of Finking’s shoes is the shock-absorbent material between the outsole and the upper shoe. Next, Finking’s shoes are not too soft or too thick. The materials that make up these running shoes are lightweight mesh and heavy-duty leather. Thus, Finking is going to provide the most stable, comfortable and excited exercise experience. The running shoe industry has a very competitive landscape. There are many shoes manufactures in the world, such as Nike, Adidas, and New Balance. However, Finking’s shoes have special designed treads and the unique materials, which can make Finking’s shoes more competitive. B. Through a combination of market research and data from pricing experiments, we estimate that at a price of $160, consumers would not demand any shoes; at a price of $140, consumers would demand 5,000 pairs; at a price of $120, consumers would demand 10,000 pairs, and so on. According to the demand equation of the functional form: P= a – b Q We can get:...

Generally companies providing general material handling type belt conveyors do not provide the conveyors for bulk material handling. In addition there are a number of commercial applications of belt conveyors such as those in grocery stores. The belt consists of one or more layers of material. They can be made out of rubber. Many belts in general material handling have two layers. An under layer of material to provide linear strength and shape called a carcass and an over layer called the cover. The carcass is often a woven fabric having a warp & weft. The most common carcass materials are polyester, nylon and cotton. The cover is often various rubber or plastic compounds specified by use of the belt. Covers can be...

...Natural rubber latex (NRL) has been used in cold-seal adhesive formulations for over 100 years. The adhesives made with NRL were used in the manufacture of medical devices and food packaging products due to NRL’s excellent flexibility, high initial tack, and good tack retention properties. However, NRL has several notable disadvantages that are causing manufacturers to look at NRL-free formulations. NRL can contribute to allergic reactions due to the presence of certain natural latex proteins. Therefore, manufacturers and service providers are feeling the pressure from regulatory bodies to find alternatives. This effort is under way to protect patients, healthcare workers, food handlers and consumers from products that contain NRL. Some people know they have an allergy to NRL and take measures to prevent exposure, but others only find out after a reaction. The best approach to protect people from exposure is to avoid the use of NRL products in the first place. Another disadvantage of NRL is that it readily oxidizes and discolors at relatively low temperatures. NRL formulations require preservation against bacterial attack via the incorporation of a fungicide, and they also suffer from raw material variation. An antioxidant is a necessary ingredient, since natural rubber is prone to attack by oxygen and will deteriorate rapidly without the protection afforded...

...manufacturer that, in less than a decade, has grown to be one of the world largest brown shoe manufacturers, outperforming the industry in terms of market and financial results. We describe Geox’s choices within four stages along its value chain: product design, marketing and communication, production and supply chain, distribution and retail. We show that, though grounded on product innovation (the Geox breathes® patented system which allows ventilation in waterproof rubber sole shoes), Geox’s competitive advantage has not grown out of operational excellence in single activities in the business, but, rather, derives from a unique and consistent configuration of complementary activities. Such configuration represents an innovative strategic position and corresponds to a high performance peak in the footwear industry performance landscape. The case study provides anecdotal evidence in support of complementarity-based economic theory, showing how complementarities among activities help understand increasing returns to scale, firm size and business growth even without the standard assumptions about economies of scale. It also confirms that, in the presence of complementarities, rivals find strategy imitation and reverse engineering difficult due to the unique nature of the relationships...
