Conch Republic Electronics
With the company being midsized in the electronics manufacturing there is an increasing pressure to remain highly marketable and keep up with the product releases that are profitable within the public’s technological desires. Having expanded their own base product from repair to the addition of product manufacturing, Conch Republic Electronics is aware of how they need to adjust in order to compete outside their own geographical arena.
Their original revenue-producing smart phone model shouldn’t be rendered as obsolete as far as future sales. The idea of a two year termination plan could be stretched to three or four years and the current product could be advertised to the lower level electronically taught public.
Advertise as a sort of a phone for the older age group that doesn’t want to relearn new and improved version of smart phone apps. The original price can be lowered and touted as a sale or special value by purchase cost going to $299, allowing for the additional $24 per unit to be profitable. The current version can also be marketed as first phones for a younger demographic and further extend the sales of the outdated product.
By neglecting the aspect of overseas outsourcing, the company itself can stand under a claim not made by many other electronic companies in that they are an exclusively American made product. This allows for additional advertising pull for the US consumer. There needs to be an additional pitch to go with the new product itself as well as to allow for less of a drop off for the previous product production and sales. There is an increasing demand for manufactured durable goods in the US and household consumer spending is supported enough to allow them to be big-ticket consumers.
Manufacturing production in the US is predicted to increase over the next two years by
4.0% and 3.6%

    In Pierre Berton’s ‘Vimy’, the reader is taken on an adventure following multiple Canadian soldiers who bravely fought in world war one. It is tough for any author to capture the real horrors of war, but in his non-fiction historical masterpiece, Canadian author and historian, Pierre Berton, does an excellent attempt to do just that. With accurate quotes and images it feels as if you have ventured across the cold Atlantic ocean, just as young Canadians did almost one hundred years ago. In 1914 Britain joined a war that had already had its first battles, primarily between the German and the French. Because Canada was under the rule of the king and not its own country (yet), she automatically joined on the side of Britain. When this happened, there was much commotion in Canadian streets. “All Across Canada from Toronto to Quebec and Calgary to Vancouver, men were rushing to enlist.” (Berton 17) Many were turned down. Some because they were too unfit some because they wore glasses and some because they were too small. But the most popular reason was because the boys were too young. The legal age to enlist in Canada is eighteen but it was not uncommon for boys who were only seventeen or even younger to lie about their age. Boys were over the moon to get out of school early, some quitting after just grade ten. It was the thing to do back then. Like modern commercials we see on television where marketers use advertising techniques like bandwagoning, young boys were anxious to be in the army and more importantly, not to be left out. These events demonstrate the first theme present in the first half of the book- patriotism. Or in this case, false patriotism, because these boys, now soldiers, were very mislead. They thought of war as heroic cavalry charges and sieges that would go down in history, but once they arrived in France they quickly realized otherwise. Patriotism is evident throughout this book, but mostly during the chapters concerning the Canadians. Pierre Berton…

    Geoffrey Parker describes the military revolution as a period between 1500-1750 when changes in tactics, army size, and fortifications transformed the way wars were fought and how they were won1. Fortresses were very useful strongholds until cannons became more developed and knocked the fortresses down. Changes in the design of fortresses then made them more successful against bombardment. Firearms on the battlefield slowly became more present until it became the sole dominant choice of weapon in combat. The size of armies during this period drastically increased, partly because of the need to surround a castle during a siege. The army size of nearly every western power more than doubled during this time…

    Developing countries: African, Asian, Latin American countries and Middles East region have the highest sale volumes in a way that the half of the world population have cell phones and one of the three hold a Nokia phone, as China and India are among the countries with highest number of population and also got the highest number of sales, as an example 70 mil phones were sold in China in 2007 that is 38% more than the previous year’s sales. Basically the high demand for this product in these regions is for simplicity and user friendly system that the Nokia has along with its cheap price, as most of the people in these regions have very low income and in some place the mobile is shared by ½ dozen of people who even cannot read or write ( mostly in Africa). In these regions (African-Asia) the main aim is connecting one person to another, could be a simple greeting phone call, or…
