...Management. Introduction Two of the largest and most profitable corporations in the United States are the Atlanta, Georgia based Coca-Cola Company and the New York based Pepsi Cola Company. While both are called "colas" they both attempt to address the same target tastes but from different approaches. Coke was the first on market with what is still a "secret" formula and Pepsi followed with a similar (not exact) taste. Since taste is very much a factor of your personal likes, either or neither may appeal to you or seem sweeter (Inforefuge.com. 2011). This paper will discuss the similarities and differences in the processes used by Coca-Cola and PepsiCo for place, price, and promotion. Place and Price The marketing exposure of PepsiCo and Coca-Cola is everywhere ranging from commercials, billboards, and mail advertisements all over the world. Although they target the same markets, they both use different approaches to their marketing strategies. This is evident when comparing the two companies’ websites. When browsing the Coca-Cola website you will experience a more conservative style; there is not a variety of colors besides the traditional “Coca-Cola red” in which, most their products are packaged and advertised. It is the complete opposite for PepsiCo, as their website flashes promotions for free music downloads and reminds browsers that they are the official drink sponsor of the NFL. After browsing the websites and comparing the two, you will come to understand that...

... ------------------------------------------------- Capital Budgeting [Author] New Heritage Doll Company: Capital Budgeting In the case of the New Heritage Doll Company, Emily Harris, Vice President of the company’s production division, is in the process of reviewing and analyzing two capital budgeting proposals within her division. Both proposals intend to spur long-term growth and to strengthen the division’s innovative product lines. Based on various financial and logistical constraints, Harris would only be able to choose one of the projects. The first project, proposed by Marcy McAdams, involves expanding the Match My Doll Clothing Line (MMDC). The second project proposed by Elizabeth Holtz, aims to introduce customization to the existing doll line, Design Your Own Doll (DYOD). In order to correctly identify which project is more compelling and valuable, Harris needs to carefully evaluate the projects based on qualitative and quantitative metrics such as the NPV, payback period, IRR and how well each project is aligned with corporate goals and strategies. When comparing the value of two proposals within a division it is important to not only compare the net present value of the two, but to also consider how each project aligns with the company’s high-level strategies, core competencies and manufacturing capabilities. Unlike the DYOD proposal, MMDC has already established itself as a successful operation allowing Emily to analyze historical and factual data as opposed...

...Premise Linux was created as a variation of UNIX by Linux Torvalds in 1991. He created it as open source with a GNU (GPL) General Public License and a lot of coders began downloading the source code and creating their own programs with it. They created patches and fixes for bugs to improve the Linux OS use experience. Security Advantages and Disadvantages Linux and Windows Server share logical security mechanisms that work similar in principle. Both are advantages in their own right using different techniques to secure a network. The importance of network security and how users have access to a network can be maintained not only through best practices but, a strict policy as well. Linux and Windows Server use security mechanisms directly manipulated by the OS, called account privileges. The key advantage with this mechanism is how it assigns a user account privilege to folders and files within the operating system. Linux users are not assigned “root “privilege as default instead the user is assigned an account with low-level privilege. Setting read, write, and execute permissions for owner, group, and other users to give them access control to specific files and folders is usually controlled through the Command Line Interface (CLI) yet some distributions of Linux may also have a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that allows an administrator to change permissions. Windows Server is similar in the way is too assigns account privileges to users. The client/server architecture...

...were to execute “the steps in testing a research hypothesis, compare the means of two or more groups, and calculate the correlation between two variables.” Phoenix. (2016). Also, we were to reflect on topics we liked, struggled with and to show how we apply them to our real life. The steps in testing a research hypothesis In McClave text book, five steps of testing a research hypothesis were identified. According to McClave "specifying the null hypothesis, specifying the alternative hypothesis, the level of significance of the test, calculating the test statistic, and summarizing the results to obtain the conclusion"(McClave, Benson, & Sincich, 2011). The first two steps were specifying the null hypothesis and specifying the alternative hypothesis. HA1: There is significant relationship between turnover in BMIS and Employees satisfaction Ho1: There is no significant relationship between turnover in BMIS and Employees satisfaction With the research hypothesis, its’ known to be the thesis which was generated by an analysis that’s used to determine the conclusion of the experiment. It’s important that the hypothesis is testable and can to prove accuracy. Comparing the means of two or more groups There are many times when comparing the means of two or more groups is very useful. When researching it is important to collect as much information as possible about the two groups so they can compare them. They can compare the means of the groups by analyzing...

...THLEAD 420 Quality of Care Exercise When comparing nursing homes located in Washington at Medicare.gov the two facilities that I am comparing is Park Rose and Tacoma Lutheran Home (TLH). When looking at the results for Park Rose the number of total residents is ninety and the total number of licensed nurse staff per resident per day is one hour and forty-eight minutes. I think for a facility of this type, where elderly patients are living, that the time nursing staff spends with the residents is on average compared to the rest of Washington State. If I were to pay for a facility like this for a family member of mine I would want nursing staff to spend more hours per day with my loved one. Although, I do know that a nurse’s time is limited and having ninety residents to care for is high. Looking at TLH it seems to be the same when comparing it to Rose Park. With the total number of licensed nurse staff hours per resident per day at one hour and fifty-five minutes, but there are 147 total residents. Again this facility is around the average for Washington State, if looking for a place for a loved one I would not like how many more residents there are in this facility because that may stretch a nurse’s time even more. What I found to be interesting about the information available on this site and when comparing the two facilities is the number of complaints and incidents with each. Although the TLH had no complaints about their facility they did have four incidents. I was not...

...1. Volume of Transactions: Volume of transactions is concerning parameter because it can measure and judge the behavior of service provider. For example, when you have two websites, one of them has 100 transactions have been completed, and you have another website with 100,000 transactions have been completed. By comparing these two numbers the costumer will choose the second one with bigger transaction because it is seems more reliable and efficient than the first one.

The buying process starts when the couple recognizes a problem or need a new bigger television when their in-laws move in. They spend so much of their free time watching television.

...Luis Cerna WRT-101-095 Revision Today’s Media Influence on Body Image The media today comes in many forms. For example, we have magazines, newspapers, television, radio, and the internet. Having all these elements at one’s disposal is a great asset, but it can also be a manipulator that could blindside consumers. The media has shaped society’s idea of what perfect is and it has definitely changed our idea of what perfect looks like. Exposure to thin female models and muscular built males on a daily basis has created an entirely new culture for the new generations. Having a perfect body not only means being healthy and achieving the perfect physical imagine. Now it also means power, fame, money and most of all attention. Today media has a negative influence on our body image. Body image is not only about how a person physically looks but also how the individual feels about himself. How society presents not only a perfect body but a healthy one, the ideals have tremendously changed in the past decade. Now we are being forced to meet unrealistic body types and looks in order to fit in and love ourselves. The media exposes super model images on television, ads, magazines and even the radio making us believe these deceptive images. According to article Food and Body Image, in a 1992 article in the Journal of Communication, it was estimated that on average adolescents see more than 5,260 “attractiveness messages” each year. And according to the American College of Obstetricians...

...Dear E-Marketing student, This assignment is about comparing. You have to compare the websites of two competing companies with each other. It is an individual assignment and each student gets an individual grade. First part of the assignment is to compare the online presence of two different companies in the same line of business. For instance, compare the websites and everything available online of British Airways and Lufthansa. Find out what they offer to their customers and in what way. Check the navigation within their websites, the user friendliness, the graphics, and so on. But do also check the contents of these websites: do they offer products that are suitable for selling online anyway? Do also check famous e-commerce sites like amazon.com, bookings.com or expedia.com and others and check how they have found solutions for certain problems. Explain what you think is good and wrong and how it could be better and why, based on the theory in your reader and what has been discussed during the E-Marketing classes. In other words, come up with your personal opinion, which is, of course, a well founded opinion. In this personal opinion you also have to come up with directions for improvement. Part 2 The second part of this assignment is the comparison of the same two companies separately (so, for each one apart) between what these companies have promised in their vision / mission statement and business goals and what they are actually doing ‘in real life’ with their...

...Analysis in IT and Administrative Management, the students were asked to present a project analyzing of a publicly traded company. The publicly traded company which I picked to present is an online flower delivery company by the website well know as 1-800-Flowers.com. The company offers flower delivery from an online database which you can visit and place an order for all occasions and holidays. Since it’s an online platform, the company also sends flowers internationally with the help of their partnerships such as the local florists and flower growers in each country including the United States. The company also sells cards, chocolate and other accessories and gift items however they don’t produce any of it. 1-800-Flowers.com is simply an online store which you visit to order flowers and gifts and they have it delivered by working with the trusted different venders they have partnership with. Below is an example of the different category and average of the different percentage each category generates. This analysis will include the product/service profile. I will also share the financial analysis, providing three years of ratios, a horizontal analysis, and a vertical analysis. I will also be comparing the company to another company by the name of Flowers Foods Inc. which is within the same industry of flower delivery. Lastly, I will share my overall assessment of financial performance and why, or why not, I would invest...
