The company feels that the current marketing plan for its products does not put them in a position to reach the profit potential for the small appliances. Success with the new line will depend upon an accurate assessment of the market and a well-crafted, effectively implemented marketing plan that will fit the current market. As the marketing manager, you are charged with the responsibility of developing a new marketing plan that will enable the company to reach the full profit potential of one small appliance from the new product line. The president has suggested that you use the “clean sheet of paper” concept as you develop the plan; therefore, during the time you are creating the new plan, all details of the company’s existing electronics marketing plan are to be considered irrelevant. The intent is that current strategies, practices, etc., will be considered for relevance and possible continuance only after your new plan has been presented to and is understood by top management. Given: Company G’s team of engineers and designers have developed a line of top-quality small appliances, and through concept and prototype testing, they have shown that the visual design features are very appealing to potential...

Then you are rewarded for the risks you take with the skills and knowledge that you have. The simplest form is that of a sole proprietor. Then you are the business. A company's mission statement is a constant reminder to its employees of why the company exists and what the founders envisioned when they put their fame and fortune at risk to breathe life into their dreams. The mission statement should guide the actions of the organization, spell out its overall goal, provide a path, and guide decision making. It provides "the framework or context within which the company's strategies are formulated." It's like a goal for what the company wants to do for the world. After designing a strategy for our small business, we will need to track whether our desired results occurred as expected.

Bad press, for good reasons? In some quarters, the term ‘consultant’ has become a dirty word — and it is, perhaps, the business or marketing consultant that has received the worst press of all in recent years. There are valid reasons for this, not least the fact that consultants appear when we are struggling to solve a problem for ourselves. Often parachuted in by senior management, employees may perceive the consultant’s arrival as a vote of organisational no confidence in their abilities. Few people would think twice about using a specialist consultant for a medical problem, but this attitude doesn’t always transition into the workplace. Perhaps because businesses don’t need someone coming in and telling them what they already know. In many cases it feels like consultants have come in, stolen your watch, and then told you the time! We can all recount stories of a critical business issue being posed to a team of highly paid consultants who come in, disrupt the workplace for a few weeks, disappear for a couple of months and then return to tell you something you already...
