Marketing Segmentation Theory based on selling Oxygen bars 1) Demographic Consumer age‚ gender‚ income‚ occupation are considered to be the main factors for demographic segmentation. Other factors like race‚ religion‚ nationality is not emphasized here because product usage will be less affected by those factors. Currently‚ similar-functioned products available in the market have a wide consumer age base‚ ranging from 20+ to 50+. I believe that this age difference does reflect the difference in

Bloom University of Stellenbosch‚ South Africa Abstract: The objective of the research is to consider a self-organizing neural network for segmenting the international tourist market to Cape Town‚ South Africa. A backpropagation neural network is used to complement the segmentation by generating additional knowledge based on input–output relationship and sensitivity

Intel Capital: The Berkeley Network Investment Berkeley Networks’ goal of creating an open architecture aligned with Intel’s strategic goal. Although each party did its homework to understand generally what it would give and get‚ the relationship seemed to carry some dissonance. Berkeley Networks desired a controlled relationship keeping Intel far from its strategic motives; Intel‚ on the other hand‚ wanted to be more involved with BN and develop a closer relationship. Intel wanted to integrate

did Intel use to gain a competitive advantage in microprocessors? In order to get a competitive advantage Intel manages three classes of players: Competitors‚ Buyers and suppliers. The (Reduced Instruction set computing) RISC threat In 1989‚ Intel faced with a potential competitive threat from an alternative microprocessor architecture while launching its fourth generation of 80486 microprocessor. Four key decisions led Intel to have a competitive advantage in this market. First‚ Intel realized

COMMUNICATIONS 17-1 MARKETING SPOTLIGHT INTEL Intel makes the microprocessors that are found in 80 percent of the world’s personal computers. In the early days‚ Intel microprocessors were known simply by their engineering numbers‚ such as “80386” or “80486.” Intel positioned its chips as the most advanced. The trouble was‚ as Intel soon learned‚ numbers can’t be trademarked. Competitors came out with their own “486” chips‚ and Intel had no way to distinguish itself from the competition
