    Regardless of the size of the company, the tangibility or intangibility of their product, or if the company operates in a domestic or international market, the basic approach to marketing processes will be the same (Virtual Advisor, Inc., 2009). The company must target a market that will buy the product, products must be created to fill a need, pricing must support sales of the product, and distribution must be achievable. There are various economic, political, legal, and social environmental factors that differentiate the global market from domestic markets (Bearden, 2009). Apple must account for this fact when formulating a marketing plan to enter the marketplace of a different country. Entry and growth in foreign markets comes with it new rules and regulations to be followed. In preparation for entry into foreign markets, Apple Inc. has registered or applied for trademark protection in a number of foreign countries (Apple Inc., 2011). If the company is to be successful, it must continue to assess the economic climate before developing within a foreign country. Considerations, such as physical, financial, and demographic characteristics must also be assessed before…

    Case Study Analysis

    In the case of Honig v. Doe, it was the first case to reach the Supreme Court dealing with discipline of special education students. This case took place in 1988 after two students from the San Francisco School District with emotional disabilities and aggressive tendencies were threatened with expulsion. John Doe (a pseudonym) was a socially and physically awkward 17 year-old who had difficulty controlling his impulses and anger. From early on in school, physical abnormalities, speech difficulties, and poor grooming habits resulted in his being the target of classmates teasing and ridiculing him. One day, in response to taunts from a fellow student at a developmental center for disabled students, he reacted in an explosive manner anticipated by his individualized education (IEP). He choked a student with enough force to leave abrasions on the boy’s neck. Afterwards, while being taken to the principal’s office, John kicked out a window. John was suspended from school for 5 days. The principal recommended that he be expelled. A lawsuit was filed, and the federal district court issued a temporary order directing the school to return John to his then current educational placement.…

    Marketing Analysis and Strategy

    Currently the inflation rate is stable at three percent or less per year, and the consumer price index is steady with approximately 1.5-2 percent change per year. A stable economy without significant inflation will likely maintain the strong spending power of the consumer. The consumer’s dollar will be stretched further allowing them to purchase more goods. Low inflation rates will also persuade the Federal Reserve Board to keep rates low allowing free economic growth as rates increase.…

    The purpose of this paper is to write an essay about Starbucks global expansion strategy with a focus on China. Starbucks first went international in 1996 in Tokyo Japan; today there are over three thousand coffeehouses in thirty-seven different countries. “The number one priority of our company in terms of new growth is China,” said Howard Schultz, chairman of the coffee chain. “The US company has two hundred and nine stores across eighteen mainland Chinese cities, about one hundred and twenty of which lie in the capital or around Shanghai” Andrew Yeh wrote. Compared to the six hundred coffee shops in Japan Starbucks is behind in growth for China. With China’s emerging economy and booming population it is a no-brainer that a rapid expansion into China would be a great business opportunity.…

    Marketing Case Study

    Almost since the foundation of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America in 1912, cookie sales have played a major role in supporting the Girl Scouts organization at the council and troop levels. By now, cookie sales have grown into a major moneymaking operation, bringing in over $714 million per year. Recent years, however, have seen cookie sales lagging with nearly six years of year-over-year declines of about 1 percent each until the trend reversed last year. The recent economic downturn hasn’t helped matters either. After a restructuring of its operations in 2004, the Girl Scouts have made several changes to the program that they hope will help spark sales and create cost saving opportunities. This year, Girl Scout troops will be selling cookie boxes at $4 even, up from the $3.50 price tag mandated in 2006. Before that, local councils were allowed to set their own prices, resulting in price wars as some troops attempted to undercut each other to increase sales. Portions on some cookie varieties have been reduced by one ounce per box, and other cookie varieties will use plastic packaging instead of more expensive cardboard. The Girl Scouts will also be asking certain troops to reduce their cookie lineups to just six varieties. The six top-selling cookies—Thin Mints, Do-si-dos, Trefoils, Samoas, Lemon Chalet Cremes, and Tagalongs—account for about 77 percent of cookie sales, and many attempts to create cookies geared toward specific markets have not fared well in recent years. The Dulce de Leche cookies, based on classic Latin American treats, were designed to appeal to Hispanic markets as part of the Girl Scouts’ broader diversity initiatives. However, sales figures did not seem to indicate any particular market preference for that variety. A “diabetic-friendly” sugarfree chocolate-chip variety also failed to generate a significant sales boost. While funds from cookie…

    Research Paper

    The impact Japan has had on the modern world is enormous. It occupies less than one three hundredth of the planet’s land area, yet wields one sixth of the planet’s economic might. There would be few homes and offices that do not rely on at least some Japanese technology. Japanese cars rule the roads. Despite recent problems with so called ‘Japanese style management’, many western and Asian managers still try to do things ‘the Japanese way’. Japanese foreign aid props up many a developing country’s economy. Project developers around the world seek Japanese investment. Tourist operators target the large numbers of wealthy Japanese who now travel overseas. Japan itself features as one of the most popular of all ‘places I would like to visit’ in western surveys. The list goes on.…
