The five different locations that I observed were Forever 21, La Carreta, Miami Dade College, Santa’s Enchanted Forest, and Primera Iglesia Alianza Hispana. These venues aren’t all similar but, the one thing they have in common is they aren’t ashamed to express their style of music to the world. They all attract certain types of people to their locations like for example, La Carreta which is a Caribbean restaurant, here the audience they want to attract are mainly Hispanics and this because they mostly put on Latin music like bachata, Latin pop, and Mexican music. The difference between the venues is the purpose they serve, for example, Forever 21 is a clothing store for teenagers, Miami Dade College is a college campus, Santa’s Enchanted Forrest…
For the past two years I have been working at Hollister and Bath and Body works. Working at these two places as long as I have, I defiantly have noticed a ton of differences between the two companies. For instance, the look policy, the way they treat their associates, and the different values between the two companies.…

Most of what I saw where long term customers who had grown up on JC Penny stating how much they liked the stores. I did see very few responses to customer’s complaints or questions on Facebook. The company also had a list of sponsors on the right that they must be receiving funds for placing ads on their web page.…
When it comes to athletic apparel, the first company people think of is either Nike or Adidas. Why? Both Nike and Adidas have done an impressive job in marketing their products, with popular spokesperson like Kobe Bryant or Derrick Rose. Nike’s success is attributed to its products contributing to the success of the athletes who purchase them. Nike and Adidas seemed as though they had control on the athletic apparel oligopoly, but recently, Under Armour has become a serious competitor to the two companies. The road to becoming a legitimate competitor has been tough, specifically because of the competitive nature existing between firms in the same market. The market structure, determinants of supply and demand, and future outlook of the company can help us see the state and performance of Under Armour.…

Hollister. Some direct competitors would be American Eagle, Aeropostale, and body central. They are direct competitors because they sell the same product as hollister. Some indirect competitors would be places like Walmart, Target, and JC Penny. They are indirect competitors because they not only sell the same product as Hollister they also sell products that hollister does not sell.…
The two companies I chose to compare were Sephora and Ulta Beauty. Both stores are cosmetic retailers and sell many of the same products. Sephora has been around longer originating in Paris in the year 1970, and opening it 's first U.S store in 1998. Sephora runs approximately 1,300 stores in 27 countries worldwide, with a consistently growing base of over 300 stores across North America. Ulta Beauty was founded in 1990 trying to reach out to women as a place to shop other than department stores and drugstores for their beauty needs. As of 2013, Ulta is operating 576 stores across the span of 46 states. The company has also equipped each of their stores with a full service salon, hoping that women would appreciate the one stop shopping experience. Although both chains have similar product and price points, they possess two very different advertising, promotional and customer service styles and different ways in how they present themselves to the public.…

Both Bentley and Rolls-Royce is the best hand-made luxury car, British manufacturer and they all have the Royal Blood. The reason why I choose these brands to compare is they divided to two companies from 2003. In 1998 to 2002, these two brands are managed by both VW and BMW. From 2003, VW owned the Bentley Motors and Crewe factory, BMW owned the Rolls-Royce Motors and relocated the factory to Goodwood (Cowell, 1998). Bentley has the truly legend craftsmanship and became the Royal-official-car instead of Rolls-Royce (Cupler, 2012). Then it began to expand the producing capacity and also the models, it has new design for every models but continue hand-made. It keeps step-up in ECO area, created the mobile apps for cars and still focused on sporty-luxurious cars in the future (Volkswagen Annual Report, 2011). Rolls-Royce lost its legend craftsmanship and relocated the factory, but it hired new craftsmen to keep the quality and new design for every series. It also focused on exclusive driver training and electronic luxury cars in the future ( BMW Annual Report, 2011).…
All stores are similar and different in many ways. Each store carries different products. Each store’s price is different from other stores. Wal-Mart and Target are similar and different in many ways. Wal-Mart has better prices than Target, Wal-Mart’s and Target’s products are about the same but Target is better, and Target has a better atmosphere than Wal-Mart.…

For my research, I chose to compare Nordstrom and Walmart since they seem to be catering to different spectrums of class dynamic. I decide to do my research over the weekend where majority of individuals have days off work. I also did not want my choice of clothing to affect the outcome of my observation and interactions among those in the store. Therefore, I wore a dressy blouse with black pants to fit the model of their clientele in Norstrom and comfortable clothes such as; a red tee shirt and blue jeans when I visited Walmart. With this said, at first I was not sure about what product I wanted to focus on until I got to Nordstrom located at the Arden Fair Mall in Sacramento. It was approximately 4:40 when I arrived and as I walked into the store I notices to my left a beautifully structured and organized shoe section. That is when I decided to focus my research on shoes, but specifically high heels.…
