1)In today’s competitive marketplace where there is an increasing level of competition and decreasing product life cycles, product innovation has been identified as the key to a firm’s success (Slater, Mohr, & Sengupta, In Press).2) By seeking new or better solutions to customer problems, new product development can both transform existing markets and create new ones. 3)Without innovation, incumbents will slowly lose their markets as rivals may innovate past them (Hauser, Tellis, and Griffin, 2006).

In order to respond most effectively and efficiently to changing world, marketers must have a clear understanding and accurate picture of the directions those changes are taking. Such a picture cannot emerge without a consideration of the evolving nature of business and consumers. The emergence of both enormous technological advances and excessive supply make the prediction of what will happen in the next few years to business in general and the communications business in particular both very easy and very difficult. Very easy because we know that things will have to adapt to the new opportunities and the fact that the customer is king, Very difficult because the things we have grown used to trusting appear to be changing so fast that we cannot understand them anymore, and the approaches that we thought were acceptable to consumers are not so welcome. Much has changed in the way that traditional communications about brands the development of the internet and the World Wide Web has changed the needs of business, and the speed of business.

According to the product-market matrix above, and after reading about the industry, it is apparent that Fe’nix del Sur competes in selling authentic artifacts to collectors. After some of their clients insisted on an expanded product line, Fe’nix del Sur started producing replicas of their authentic artifacts. The replicas, in return, have broadened the company’s market to include gift buyers and individuals looking for decorative items.…
1) Alternative courses of action- the main alternative action they already have begun is the production of their own replicas within the company. Fe’nix del Sur prides themselves on having 100 percent authenticated artifacts from all over the world but with competitors replicating their product and selling at a lower price they have had to alter their marketing mix, even their production to try to retain their market share. The in house production of these replicas is helping them by having both options within their store. This provides the consumer with a hands on experience of seeing what an authentic piece looks like and also a replica. Also giving them the option to have an…

Sorzal is an importer and distributor of artifacts mainly from South America and South Africa, and of jewellery/pottery mainly from South-western India. The company has developed a reputation of being one of the most respected importers of these rare and authentic items. The company's annual sales are $12 million and have been increasing at a constant rate of 20 percent per year over the last ten years. However, due to high levels of increased competition, gross margins have been deteriorating. Distribution is limited, as most of it is done by Sorzal itself in the form of firm-sponsored showings, and some specialty shops and exclusive department stores. Sorzal acts as a middle man, insofar as it imports from suppliers and distributes to dealers. Dealers are beginning to alter their purchasing strategy and have begun buying directly from suppliers, removing Sorzal from the process. Sorzal has been offered a contract by a mass-merchandise department store that obligates Sorzal to triple replica production, but would result in add an estimated $1 million in sales. The dilemma is whether to accept the offer, considering external competitive factors in the market and any potential negative effect on Sorzal's reputation.…

For me, La Presa or Sitio Pungayan, the real name of the place is not that destroyed or ruined. The news just made an overreaction about the tourists that are still flocking to Sitio La Presa and worsens the image of the place and called it #LaParusa just to catch people’s attention. Maybe, in some part, This Sitio was a little bit in chaos when the shooting was still ongoing for the teleserye Forevermore but now that the show was done, the place was not crowded at all and things are getting back to its normal place. In fact, it helped the locals to start a small business. And, at least we discover a new paradise hidden in Benguet Province.…
