... Frozen yogurt is hot again, but with a more gourmet tone. Chains, including Pinkberry and Red Mango, are battling in L.A. and looking to expand. The story of Pinkberry’s success is really about the chain's image as a design brand. The fro-yo shops position themselves as coffeehouses, a place to experience frozen yogurt in an inviting atmosphere and linger a while. The frozen yogurt of the 1980s tapped into the fitness craze, a low fat yet still sweet substitute for ice cream. Pinkberry Korean-style yogurt comes in two flavors: plain and green tea. It is rather like Greek yogurt with a hint of lemon. The fresh, tangy, strangely satisfying flavor grows on you. With only two products, minimum staff training, a playfully modern store design and regular customers, Pinkberry franchises seem to be licenses to print money. The snack, with only 25 calories a portion, served with fresh fruit or crunchy toppings like Oreo cookies or Cap’n Crunch. Pinkberry yogurt is one of those American franchise ideas (think soup, coffee, and juice bars) that seem so obvious, you want to kick yourself for not having bought in at the beginning. The growth of the franchise has been explosive, from one Los Angeles store in January 2005 to 16 today, plus three in New York (five more by the end of summer) and, soon, six in London. It has become the new crackberry addiction for celebrities, friends, and loyal customers. The fancy chairs, store décor, and tangy yogurt are enough to...

...POLITICAL “Penny Thomas an MBA graduate acquired the ownership rights to Marble Slab Creamery franchise located in Ontario, Canada” (Zatsman & Grasby, 2009, p. 1). “NexCen Brands Inc. owned the Marble Slab but played small role in the daily operations of their locations” (p. 2). In an ice cream industry, any changes in regulatory for foods such as diary could force changes in this type of business. But since “assistance is given in terms of financing, real estate and marketing, and because the store is backed up by a large well-established company” (p. 2), her franchise have the ability and privilege of financial risk of any financial disaster being reduced and the consequences of being not as much severe. This acts as a safety net for Thomas’ store, which is helpful and the store can feel more secure.

A recession in United States “raises fear on how the Canadian economy will be affected later with the decline in Canadian exports and commodity prices (Zatsman & Grasby, 2009, p. 3)”, and this could possibly hit the country’s economy.

...Ben & Jerry’s Case Analysis Facing their first ever net income loss and experiencing a disconnect between company strategy, it is necessary to compare Ben & Jerry’s to Michael Porter’s “Five Forces” model to obtain guidance and a clear perspective on what path their new CEO Robert Holland should take the company. Ben & Jerry’s operational effectiveness was not successful in that they were inefficient in managing operational activities. The high cost of distribution, significant delays in opening a new manufacturing plant with a $6.8 million write-down, producing the large chunk ice cream, and difficulty forecasting demand for ice cream flavors all contributed to the company’s first profit loss in 1994. Porter states that cost advantages arise from performing company activities more efficiently than competitors and Ben & Jerry’s ineffectiveness to do this was causing a decrease in profit and increase in debt. Resolving the company’s costly equipment problems was one of Robert Holland’s top priorities when becoming the new CEO. Another top priority was to focus on Ben & Jerry’s unique activities as a key success factor to gain competitive advantage over their competitors. For example, their corporate strategy to integrate product quality with social responsibility is a key factor in the successful operation of the company. Ben & Jerry’s have used a variety-based positioning strategy to pinpoint a specific customer base who are interested in the environment and are willing...

Starting with one store in California, Pinkberry launched additional stores in California and New York within a year.

Following Pinkberry’s move, Yogurtland entered the frozen yogurt market with a different offer in 2006. At a less expensive price point compared to Pinkberry, Yogurtland offered a self serve format. Pinkberry had offered pricing by serving size small, medium, and large. Yogurtland also developed 150 different and customized flavors to differentiate themselves. By 2012, Yogurtland had over 200 locations globally. Following Pinkberry, Yogurtland acted as a hyena in the frozen yogurt market. Watching Pinkberry and Yogurtland’s success, independent frozen yogurt stores emerged in the market. Mom and pop and start-ups quickly flooded the market throughout the nation.

Studying it gives us a better understanding of the personal and psychological motives behind drug dealers and smugglers to initiate in the process, of the violent crimes behind these activities, of the drug movement itself, and of the society we live in. Aware of the importance of having knowledge about drug traffic and smugglers, and conscious of the “enormous research potential in studying them,” Patricia A. Adler, the author of “Researching Dealers and Smugglers” and her husband Peter decided to study this subject more in depth. A legitimate motivation the author might have had for researching the subject is the significant boom that this research could have to her professional career, because she would offer a completely new perspective of drug trafficking. While studying and analyzing the drug dealers, Mrs. Adler and her husband took a different approach. She felt that past researchers all did the same mistake: they usually wanted to understand the world of criminals from their own perspective. This means that they usually tried to obtain information in a very systematic and distant way, without taking risks or dealing directly with the people involved. The problem with this is that that way the information obtained is not necessarily correct, and it may be vague and not concrete. Dealers may not feel comfortable enough to reveal such safe and risky information...
