• Discuss potential key changes in the external environment, specifically competition and technology including communications that Sigma will face in the future. Which will have the most impact on Sigma's future marketing strategies?
We discussed in the previous theme the development of a market and how to determine if a product fits or if it needs alteration. Now, we look at the product in the marketplace and how long it can survive.

All products have a lifecycle. They begin as an idea that needs Research and Development (R&D) or time to develop. This is a direct cost to the company. Once the product and/or service is ready to be marketed, it goes through five stages: development, introduction, growth, maturity, and decline.

    MKT 650

    As the text book says, “The product life cycle is concerned with the sales history of a product class which holds that a product’s sales change over time in a predictable way and that products go through a series of five distinct stages: introduction, growth, shakeout, maturity, and decline”(Mullins & Walker, 2010, p271). Each of these stages has opportunities and threats for the firm, and they can affect the strategy of the company. Thereby, the product life cycle is an important way for managers to make decisions in the future.…

    My Freshmen Year Anthropologist Rebekah Nathan

    My freshmen year gives an objective look into the ideal freshmen year of college experienced by anthropologist Rebekah Nathan. From this
experience Nathan wrote about her first year as a college student. Nathan’s story attempts to show the social and academic expectancy of a student entering college. Nathan gave her personal accounts of freshmen life by
communicating her experience in the dorm, study habits, general
student interactions, and demographic. When comparing student life at Albion to that depicted in Nathan’s account, I could make generalizations but as Nathan also found, no student or campus is alike.…

    Friendship In Pritchard

    When you go to a school with around 35,000 students, there is a good chance you will meet people with unbelievable stories. They come from all over the world and have their own stories of how they got here and how they became Hokies, just like myself and everyone else here. It is no longer just the kids that I grew up with and have gone to school with my entire life. It is new people that come from different places and have different experiences than me. With around one thousand students, Pritchard Hall made the huge campus seem smaller. Luckily, two of the girls I knew from high school, Kimber Moore and Sarah Niewola, were living a floor above me. Pictured below, Sarah, Kimber, and I have spent a lot of time together and have grown even closer than we were in high school. “Being close to each other has made the transition to college much easier,” said Kimber. “We have been able to remain close friends as well as making more along the way.”…

    First Day of College

    First Day of College

    This first week of college has been very exciting. I remember on Sunday all day not knowing what and how to feel and what to expect. I woke up Monday morning nervous and excited, but also blessed because I feel lucky for what I call “one of those fortunate kids to be able to attend college”. I’ve been reading this devotional book each morning since I began Monday and I pray before I leave the house. Monday morning, I got on this campus, and I immediately started walking towards my first class, excited and anxious, but nervous because I didn’t know anyone in the class. I met my first teacher for the day, Mrs. Martinez for Math, and she is such a sweet and nice woman. Then, I had my hour-and-a-half until my next class, Student Success, so I met up with my best friend Whitney, which I haven’t seen the last time we were at Taco Bell with her mom and grandma, sometime in late June or early July. Her mom passed away last month and Thursday, August 29th would be one month. I was so happy to see her and share my college experience with her!!! Then, I had lunch and bought a ham and swiss cheese sub. Then, it was time to go to my last class, Student Success with Mrs. Butler, who is also a lovely lady. I walked in the class, with my friend Alison, and was nervous not knowing what to expect. The syllabus and presentation was very informative and I enjoyed playing and listening to the “Have You Ever?” and the “Head, Shoulders” games. The day ended. I left the campus happy and grateful to be a part of this experience. Tuesday afternoon came and I went to my English class, and met my teacher, Mr. Vrhovac, who is a really funny guy and sarcastic. I also left this day feeling happy and grateful and I’m really starting to feel comfortable in my own skin and I’m loving passing through many of my friends from whom I went to high school with or young adults from my church.…
