...1. Analyze the buyer decision process of a traditional Porsche customer. Porsche has traditionally developed a low volume and increasingly fragmented auto market. The availability of only a few high end models created an image of exclusivity. It is the image of exclusivity that is most important to Porsche consumers. They want their car to represent how successful they are. 2. Contrast the traditional Porsche customer decision process to the decision process for a Cayenne or Panamera customer. As opposed to the traditional Porsche consumer who is concerned with the way the car sounds, vibrates, and feels, a consumer deciding between the Cayenne and Panamera will take into consideration factors such as size and practicality. Interestingly, both consumers are likely to be focused on factors such as speed and brand image. 3. Which concepts from the chapter explain why Porsche sold so many lower-priced models in the 1970’s and 1980’s? • Cultural Factors (social class): having a Porsche is always meant for upper class status, and having a Porsche allows customers to relate with this class. The Porsche 914 was an alternative presented to consumers who could not afford a traditional Porsche, but wanted the image of the brand. • Personal Factors (economic situation): in the 1970’s and 80’s, Porsche took into consideration consumers with lower income, so they produced affordable vehicles based on the social class, the status, and the family needs...

...president said she would call back in one hour." The concluding paragraph, therefore, may have significant impact on the urgency question which will be covered more fully later. Exhibits Many cases contain exhibits after the text portion of the case. Turn to the exhibits as they are referenced in the text to understand their context and content. Scrutinize them thoroughly. Some exhibits, such as financial statements or organization charts, may appear fairly standard. Still look for anything odd or unusual about them. Other exhibits are unique to the case and provide a summary or illustration of key data. Make sure that you understand the purpose of each exhibit. Part 2: Analyze the Case A generic approach to case analysis includes the following steps: A) define the issue; B) analyze the case data with focus on causes and effects as well as constraints and opportunities; C) generate alternatives; D) select decision criteria; E) assess alternatives; F) select the preferred alternative; and G) develop an action and implementation plan. Note that some parts of this model will not apply to every case and some aspects will receive more emphasis than others at different times during the course. Specific analytical approaches, techniques and tools may be applied depending on the course, type of case and your instructor's particular requirements. It may be appropriate to re-visit regularly any particular analytical model, framework or concept suggested by your...

...“Baglady” analyze The short story “Baglady” by A. S. Byatt from the collection “Elementals” (1998) I want to tell about what language there are used, what type of text it is, and how the end effects you. It is written with third person limited view, as you only hear the thoughts and feeling from one person, and that is Daphne who is the protagonist in this story. You hear about one event in “Baglady”. The business trip with Daphne’s husband Rollo, his colleagues and their wives. This means that the story is written with scenic presentation. The language in “Baglady” is easy to read, not many difficult words are used. It is not a very emotional text, you don’t hear about a lot of feelings, it mostly describes the surroundings instead. You don’t really hear a lot of speech between the different characters. There are a few conversations mentioned between Daphne and her husband Rollo. And in those conversations they talk about the fact that Daphne doesn’t want to go on the trip, but Rollo insists that she goes with him. “Baglady” doesn’t extend over a period of time. It is told in the moment as Daphne experiencing them. There are a few flashbacks which appear as conversations between Daphne and Rollo. This gives you the feeling that you’re in the moment with her. The story starts in media res, with one of the other wives explaining something to everybody else, so you don’t know what had happened before. In this case you figure out a little bit about what had happened...

...The Ritz-Carlton Hotels focused on stability in organizational culture. Managers want to maintain the status quo, so they train their employees precisely and specifically with the old rules and standards which were set up a century ago. For a luxury hotel, these standards are used for a long time, so they are “old-fashioned”, and treat people as royalties in the palace. Guests will feel that they are treated with totally respect and seems like they are the Queen or King. This is very important for a luxury hotel because the cost for living in the hotel is much higher than in the normal hotel or inn. The Ritz-Carlton Hotels give guests the royal service to make sure guests like to spend money in their hotels. The drawback for the culture is significantly. Nowadays, people live in the modern society. The basic concept that they receive from elementary school is that God creates everyone equally. Maybe some of the people feel embarrass or strange when they first get in the hotel. Employees are treated as servant, and speaking respective language. The new-times people will feel those employees are in a lower level, and this experience will confuse with the concept that they learn from their little age. Also, if the company choose to change their culture to a new one, the biggest problem is that there are some of their guests get familiar with their old culture, and they come to live in the hotels are because of the old culture. If the hotel changes it old culture, it may...

...The poem entitled “The Weaver” by Anonymous and the poem “Respiration” by Mos Def both use metaphors. In the poem “The Weaver” Anonymous uses metaphors by using the weaver making a blanket. The author is comparing the weaver to God who is creating the blanket that is your life. In the poem “Respiration” Def uses metaphors by comparing an apple to the city. Def uses apple to show the characteristics of New York City. An example of the device is when Anonymous says “The dark threads are as needful in the skill of the weaver’s hand As threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned” (Anonymous 1.7-8). Through this device the author explains it is necessary to have the good, the bad, with the colors of the threads, because in the end when you see the big picture and realized why everything happened. The bright colors are the good things that happen in your life, and for the dark colors it is the bad times you suffered in anyway. Furthermore, the author says you should live life happily because in the end everything will be alright. The author is trying to tell us that we should trust God because he knows the choices he makes for a reason, just like the weaver they know what pattern to choose and the outcome of it, for the weaver it would be the blanket, and for God it would be life. In comparison Mos Def uses metaphors when he says, “You either make your way sobbin’, the shiny apple is bruised but sweet and if you choose to eat you could lose your teeth, many crews retreat”(Def...

...Analyze the Lucas vs. South Carolina Coastal Council case to determine whether you agree with the majority opinion or the minority opinion. Explain your rationale. South Carolina's Coastal Zone Management Act required land owners near beaches to obtain permits from South Carolina Coastal Council before starting constructions. However, in 1986 Lucas purchased beach front land for $975,000. Lucas planned to build a family home on one of the lots; but before he could build the family home, in 1988 (2 years past his purchase) South Carolina’s General Assembly passed the Beachfront Management Act. The Beach Front Management Act deprived Lucas from building family home on his new land. Lucas filed a lawsuit. In his lawsuit he stated that government’s restriction on the use of his land without compensation was a taking of his property. I agree with the majority opinion that Lucas did suffer a governmental taking – Lucas was being policed by the South Carolina Coastal Council; the banning of the construction caused Lucas monetary damages and the government taking was violating Lucas’s constitutional rights such as Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments. In addition, to my belief when government declares that a property or a piece of land is viewed as nuisance – and the government by its police powers takes it from the owner for government use, thus, government regulating of the land entirely devalues the property; therefore, compensation must be paid. Government’s power of eminent...

...Analyze and Planning Policing organizations that do not analyze and plan for the future based on past and present trends would allow the criminals to continue on their criminal endeavors. It is vital that policing organizations analyze the past to prevent devastating attacks such as the World Trade Center bombing in 2001 and the recent Boston Marathon attacks. After the World Trade Center bombing New York City has 13 attacks planned against the city. New York City is aware they will always be a targeted city which has prompted the entire department to prepare for future attacks. “The NYPD has attempted to build the kind of deterrent needed to defeat both homegrown threats and those that originate abroad.” (Kelly, 2011). New York City Police Department has been complemented on the way they have analyzed and plan against threats against New York City. “In January 2002, we became the first police department in the country to develop our own counterterrorism bureau. We established a division within this bureau responsible for training and equipping every one of our 35,000 police officers for counterterrorism duties.” (Kelly, 2011). Although it is unfortunate that terrorist continue to plan and commit massive murders, it appears that policing organizations have learned from the past by critically analyzing ways to prevent and stop these terrorist. The recent Boston Marathon Bombing demonstrated how first responders and citizens work together during a crisis. The use of technology...

...How To Analyze A Case In a case study there is no right or wrong answer. The following suggestions will help you to analyze case studies more effectively: Read the case: The first step to a successful case solution is to read the case, carefully and with an eye for detail – more than once. Don’t rush through it. Look for the smallest of details. That is the only correct way to read intelligent conclusions. Look for case attachments and accompanying tables and numbers if available. Do not reach conclusions until all facts are considered. Your best defense against surprise is to read the case thoroughly. Take notes: Unlike textbooks which are written in chapter, essay or reprint form, case studies might be arranged in chronological order. While textbooks may proceed in logical fashion, this is not necessarily so in case studies. At times, they may seem chaotic with many events happening at once – order and discipline may be missing and key issues are not always evident. Case studies may also contain substantial amounts of information in tubular form. To know what such data means you will have to read the tables and apply what you have learned. Your notes should focus on the details you will need to identify the business problems involved in the case, the issues critical to solving those problems, as well as resources available to the managers in the case. Those notes will be helpful in producing a case solution. Look for (business) problem(s): Do not just rephrase the obvious problems...

...are part of the modules and opportunities to put to work the analytical tools and best practices you have learned. Past case discussions provide a foundation for thinking about a new case, and study questions can call attention to important issues.You should make use of all these contextual factors, but they don’t amount to a method for analyzing a case. STARTING POINT FOR UNDERSTANDING The case method is heuristic—a term for self-guided learning that employs analysis to help draw conclusions about a situation. Analysis is derived from a Greek word meaning, “a dissolving.” In English, analysis has two closely related definitions: to break something up into its constituent parts; and to study the relationships of the parts to the whole. To analyze a case, you therefore need ways of identifying and understanding important aspects of a situation and what they mean in relation to the overall situation. Each business discipline has its own theories, frameworks, processes and practices, and quantitative tools.All of them are adapted to help understand specific types of situations. Michael Porter’s concepts are productive when investigating competitive advantage—but they aren’t very helpful for deciding whether to launch a product at a particular price or choosing the best method to finance the...
