...ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS Every organization has rules, regulations, and guidelines that help govern the conduct of their employees, global marketing decisions, and environmental factors. Environmental factors are often divided into two categories namely macro environment and microenvironment. In addition, environmental factors can be political, social, ecological, cultural, technological, and ethical in nature. Whereas, any organization that develops a product or service globally must consider the impact each of the environmental factors may have. For instance, factors can result in the failed attempt to market a product, which may be successful domestically, in other countries where there is a significant market potential. Furthermore, this essay will identify the environmental factors that affect global and domestic marketing decisions, impacts of technology, and the importance of social responsibility and ethics as related to PepsiCo marketing.

...Smart Car I would first like to start by identifying and discussing the types of decision processes a consumer goes through when purchasing this type of product. The first decision for any consumer is establishing the want or need for the product, in this case a Smart car. This I believe is fairly easy as it is a new product streaming on to the market, there is nothing else quite like it on the market and very few people will initially have them in the United States. So, this covers the need for recognition. Secondly, a producer, in this case Daimler-Benz must create a good marketing mix for the product that they are introducing into a new market. Daimler-Benz did through simple research here in America consumers want to feel they get a product that is worth what they pay. Consumers also like the aspect of something new that is different or flashy. Daimler-Benz did this through offering a vehicle that is very compact, offers great gas mileage, seats two, environmental friendly, allows the consumer to change the vehicles looks and is offered at a very good price tag. With all of these great aspects who wouldn’t want a Smart car. Now Daimler-Benz needs to afford consumers in the new market with the information needed to move consumers on in the decision process. They decided to enter the market here in the United States primarily in metropolitan areas not through a large advertising campaign but through the use of the grapevine in limited areas offering a small initial...

...Section A In my scenario for Elementary school age children the first student that I choose is Bridgett. Bridgett needs continual confirmation that she is doing her work correctly, and she demands constant attention. To promote Intrinsic Motivation to help change her behavior of not needing my constant attention I would create a learning environment that fosters both independent learning and cooperative learning as part of a group. In this I would include real-world activities to help her easily recognize her academic skills and how she would be able to use them in the real-world. Thus giving her the desire to take on a task that gives her the satisfaction of completing the assignment by herself. By promoting independent learning for Bridgett I would also promote Extrinsic Motivation by rewarding her with a point system allowing her to trade those points in for a reward that she enjoys, for example being the teachers helper, extra computer time or even a no homework pass. As we know extrinsic motivators is a very individual and can vary from student to student. (Lyons, 2011) For my second student I chose Joey. Joey continually talks out of turn loudly and off topic. So, to promote Joey’s Intrinsic Motivation my goal would to be find out his interests and include that in the lessons or activities. By finding out his interests will peak his interest in the lesson this way he is motivated to be engaged and not disrupting the classroom environment with talking. By Joey...

...Evaluating Communication Techniques Introduction Organizational leaders are continually searching for new and easier methods of communicating with their stakeholders. Any evaluation of communication techniques should include information about where we have been on the technological time line, where we are now, and the future of communication techniques. There was a time, not so long ago, that land line telephones were the norm and pagers were the ‘techy’ devices that all business people must have. Pagers sent an alarm to the device as an alert that someone was trying to call. Imagine the frustration of being in your car and suddenly having an emergency ‘page’. There were no cell phones during the time of the pager, so the only option was to seek out a pay phone. That scenario sounds archaic today. Shortly afterwards, we had an amazing revolution in technology with the cellular telephone. Business people could finally communicate with peers and customers, no matter where they were located. Naturally, the internet and the abundance of information that it provides, is among the greatest advances of our lifetimes. But, technology is still evolving and the future promises to hold many more time saving marvels as technology evolves all around us. We must be prepared and ready to adapt to the changes that are coming our way. Business and management practices also evolve to keep up with the technological advances. The Importance of Managerial Ethics in Business Communications ...
