ABSTRACT

If you travel back in time and found yourself in a small Lebanese village in 1390 's what would you find? Would you find a computer, or a mobile telephone, or a music player, or a television? Think for a moment how life would have been if you were to live in the 14th century. A lot of the items you use today are the result of the technology. The progress in technology has improved our lives. In the past, a developing nation was considered as the nation that has no access to the modern technology. Today, due to globalization, technology is available anywhere in this world.

The most important technologies that have a big impact on human lives are the information and communication technologies. These technologies include computers, mobile telephones, satellites, televisions...

    Current Market Condition Competitive Analysis

    Internet streaming alternatives for traditional television and radio are becoming increasingly popular. Companies such as Netflix, Hulu Plus, Pandora, Spotify, and the like are used in the everyday lives of a large percentage of Americans. Here at Team A Corp. we want to develop a device to bring all of these Internet alternatives back to the television. The problem is that not every consumer has a state of the art television, complete with HDMI connections. Our solution is a small box that acts as a bridge between any television and the Internet. We call it The Globe.…

    Tivo Case

    However, there are some challenges TiVo could face in terms of stand-alone DVR sales. The current target segment for stand-alone DVR sales are U.S analog cable subscribers, estimated at 35 million in 2007. Whether this number could potentially decrease is not mentioned in the case, but if consumers in that segment shift toward digital cable, it could have a negative effect on TiVo’s ability to sell stand-alone subscriptions to this segment. Another challenge is the threat of substitute products. There are currently no products that are directly, and exactly, substitutes for DVRs in…

    Tivo Executive Summary

    A big problem TiVo faced was getting people to “adopt” their product. With many features and functions, it was not as easy to explain TiVo as it was to experience, making it difficult to convince prospective customers. Due to the high 30-hour recording capacity of TiVo, it was more expensive than most televisions sets and over double the price of most satellite dishes. How could historical TV viewer habits change so dramatically with the introduction of one new product? TiVo was in a new category with no real reference points, which discouraged and delayed consumers making their purchase decision.…

    Tivo Case

    TiVo has created the right brand image as a friendly and fun brand. This image is supported by the logo which also includes the picture of a TV. This “cute” brand image gives the technology behind a gracious face. The first-mover advantage in a new market brought high (media-) awareness in the beginning. The partnerships with Sony, Philips and major electronic chains provided them an outstanding reliable and qualitative image. The consumer-focused attitude (“Bring control to customers”, data is inaccessible ) contributed to a positive brand recognition. That customers who purchased TiVo stayed loyal and were satisfied also confirmed TiVo as a strong brand. The loyalty did not come from the fact that there was no substitute product, but because they liked the way how TiVo integrates in their daily life.…

    Tivo Marketing Case Analysis (Hbs)

    The disappointing sales performance during the Christmas 1999 season ended up being a priceless lesson for TiVo’s marketing team: it was the catalyst that created the need for a TiVo’s new communications strategy. However, defining this new marketing campaign was challenging, especially after the feedback received about the product indicated issues like limited awareness and hard-to-communicate functionalities. The main focus of this new marketing campaign is to select a positioning strategy that will speed up the adoption of TiVo among consumers. The marketing team has three options on how to position TiVo: 1) as an enhanced digital video recorder, 2) as a product that gives viewers the ability to create their own television network, 3) or as a super VCR.…

    How Does The Chromecast Target Market

    Satell does not consider himself an early adopter of technology, but when he received his Chromecast in the mail, he realized that he did not need to use the remote to control web video. Immediately, he fell in love. He only watches the occasional YouTube video and a TED talk every once in a while, but he would much rather sit on his couch and watch those videos than at a computer desk for an extended period of time (Satell,…

    The key elements of TiVo’s business strategy were partnerships with some networks (NBC, CBS), collaborations with Phillips and Sony promising to deliver a better TV-watching experience to consumers. Furthermore TiVo offered advertisers a way to target certain demographics more effectively using TiVo’s ability to track the watching preferences of its users. TiVo’s strategy was a revolutionary concept for “couch commerce,” a growing niche of consumers that TiVo felt was underserved.…

    Television...Then and Now

    Televisions have been the portal to entertainment and information for centuries. The television was once considered something that was pure science fiction, but was brought to reality by a number of inventors and scientist. The TV has evolved in many ways since its existence, from bringing you entertainment and news, to now allowing you to play today’s hottest video game consoles, searching the world wide web and enjoying a movie in a theater. The visual graphics have changed from poor black and white signals, to 3D television. The TV has changed in different ways, from shape, color, size, and the multi uses that it is used for. Televisions can be found all over the world, and all types of things can be televised, especially if you have cable or satellite TV. These are just a few examples of where television has been, what it is today, and what it can possibly be in the future. The television has evolved in many ways since it has been created.…
