...bring substantial economic benefits, including a possible wage raise. In recent articles it has been stated: If Toyota decides to build up to 100,000 Camrys or Highlanders each year at the plant, it will mean 1,000 jobs, according to Gary Henriott, chairman of the Lafayette-West Lafayette Economic Development Corp. "It would be an incredible boost to our local economy," Henriott said of jobs that would pay more than $20 an hour. "It would improve every facet of our economy." "Paradoxically, Lafayette had very little automotive employment at that time. So adding SIA to our employment mix was actually a diversification of our local employment base. Over 200 Japanese companies are now located in Indiana, many of whom are suppliers to Subaru and Toyota, so the positive economic impact of foreign investment all across Indiana is easy to document." A report compiled by the Northwest-Midwest Institute, a Washington, D.C.-based research organization, shows manufacturing represented 27.9 percent of Indiana's gross state product, which totaled $227.5 billion in 2004. "The SIA-Toyota decision is a vote of confidence in the Lafayette area economy," McNamara said. "SIA-Toyota is investing in the Lafayette economy because it is a good...

...Both Subaru and Toyota have had an impressive success history in automobile industry and have become the world’s leading car brands. This case study memos attempts to define the market segments the Subaru Forester and ToyotaYaris are targeting. It also examines the pricing strategies and the overall generic strategies regarding product quality and attributes for these cars. The Toyota Yaris targets ‘small but practical’ segment. Young urban audience, who wants a small, reliable and economical car with convenient interior, to commute to work and travel across the country. Its hatchback works well as the urban automobile for singles, young professionals or childless couples. The company’s ‘Bigsmall’ campaign has been a winning formula for this ‘cleverpractical’ market segment which is a crucial element in the current vehicle market. Similarly, the Subaru Forester targets ‘functionality’ group segment which can be categorized based on their needs than ‘style’. The Forester would satisfy people with children who are looking for a medium-sized, better-priced and fuel-efficient station wagon. The Forester also targets ‘brand loyalty’ behaviouralistic segmentation as consumers move on from a first-car-buyer to a mature driver with family. This four-wheel-drive recreational vehicle allows the loyal Subaru buyers with active lifestyles to remain in the Subaru community by compromising their needs and preferences. Pricing is a pivotal strategy as it is related to product positioning...

William Forde Thompson, E. Glenn Schellenberg, and Gabriela Husain University of Toronto at Mississauga Three experiments revealed that music lessons promote sensitivity to emotions conveyed by speech prosody. After hearing semantically neutral utterances spoken with emotional (i.e., happy, sad, fearful, or angry) prosody, or tone sequences that mimicked the utterances’ prosody, participants identified the emotion conveyed. In Experiment 1 (n 20), musically trained adults performed better than untrained 56), musically trained adults outperformed untrained adults. In Experiment 2 (n adults at identifying sadness, fear, or neutral emotion. In Experiment 3 (n 43), 6-year-olds were tested after being randomly assigned to 1 year of keyboard, vocal, drama, or no lessons. The keyboard group performed equivalently to the drama group and better than the no-lessons group at identifying anger or fear. In the past 10 years, the possibility of links between musical and nonmusical domains has generated excitement among researchers and the popular press. One line of research concerns short-term benefits in nonmusical domains that occur as a consequence of passive listening to music. In two widely cited studies (Rauscher, Shaw, & Ky, 1993, 1995), listening to music composed by Mozart led to...

...• Preventative maintenance -can do 3 things; reduce failures, save on operating cost, and keep equipment safe. • Reduce failures- When work is heaviest equipment need preventative maintenance the most, the customer can’t afford for the equipment to be down during peak use, won’t prevent failures but limits them. • Save on operating cost- The fewest dollars spent on maintenance will pay for themselves many times over. An engine tune up can save 15% in fuel consumption and increase power by 10%. 100 hp tractor would use 4.5 gallons less in fuel and add a bonus of 10 hp. A maintained engine burns less fuel and can do more work per hour. • The #1 expense is down time. • Keeping equipment safe to operate- a customer with poorly maintained machine will tend to take chances to save time lost by poor performance, may also try to fix it without stopping or turning off the machine which promotes accidents. • Keeping records- Good way to make sure maintenance is performed on schedule, keep records for customer or job ticket, increase service sales in your shop. • Sales Technicians-are also sales men, they sale time or labor hours, service is our product= poor service= poor sales=no job. • Service intervals- Usually 5, 10, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1,000 hours of operation- Check the owner’s manual for specific intervals. Service intervals are cumulative which means 50 hr service should be done at 50hrs, 100 hrs, 150 hrs and 200hrs. • Tips for good machine...

...Pitch is the “highness or lowness of the sound of your voice on a musical scale” (Verderber). There are people who have a warm and welcoming quality to their voice that has a positive effect on others while others have a flat, monotone and purely droning quality to their voice that has a negative effect on others. The standard of tone is seen as deeper voices possess authority while shrill and high-pitched tone can completely turn an audience off and plain irritate them. Also, using a variety of tones makes the message a little more complex. “A varied tone rises, falls and emphasizes key words and phrases. …When you very your tone, you inject life and energy into your message.” (Corporate Coach Group) Volume is “how loudly or softly you speak” (Verderber). The speaker should never appear to be shouting at the audience in order to have his or her message be heard. If the speaker is speaking too loud, the audience becomes uncomfortable. If the speaker is not speaking loud enough, any part of the message may not be heard at all. An effective speaker “should still be able to change the volume of his or her voice for emphasis” and added enthusiasm (Dyer). Pace or Rate is “how fast you talk” (Verderber) and Quality is “the tone or timbre of your voice and what distinguishes it from the voices of others” (Verderber). It is important to slow down so the audience is under the understanding of what is being said. When you slow down “[the speaker] has more time to select the right...

...Relatively Perfect Some individuals can identify musical notes without the aid of a give tone. They are not limited to pitch-naming, the can also perform several musical skills, such as identifying a song’s key signature, labeling all tones of a given chord, mentally notating a piece and recognizing the pitches of everyday sounds like a dog’s bark of a phone’s ring. This ability can be achieved through practice. It is said that ear-trained people cringe when they hear specific songs san out-of-tune. Although they are known to be sensitive around sounds, their hearing is no different from an “average” person’s. This musical ability is known as “perfect pitch”. The ear can be very sensitive to music since music is composed of different pitches. Pitch perception is the way a person “observes” music. There are two different pitch perceptions. Relative pitch perception, or often shorten to “relative pitch”, is basically defined as the hearing ability to identify pitches with the aid of a given pitch; it is also the ear’s ability to recognize the range between two notes which is called the interval. On the other hand, perfect pitch perception—or perfect pitch—does not need help from a reference note. A person who has perfect pitch and relative pitch could have been training through the years. Or he is born with perfect pitch and only attained relative pitch through practice. He could also be a conservatory student who mastered the art of pitch perception because of the...

The advertisement begins with Tim Kuniskis (head of passenger cars for FCA) talking about the purpose of the Dodge Demon. Tim says, “We didn’t start out to compete with anyone else in the industry, we started out working from our background and being the best version of what we could be. Because we are completely different, we are not trying to be a sports car, we are not trying to be a pony car, were trying to be a street strip muscle car and there is no one else in that space.” With this statement, Tim is conveying credibility to FCA for being different from the rest of the...

...Emotive Brands Need Rational Benefits The most desired brands – the brands that regularly feature towards the top of car buyers’ shopping lists of preferred brands, tend to be the brands where the purchase decision is based more on emotive factors and less on rational factors. These ‘emotive brands’ are more likely to include the premium brands such as Audi, BMW, Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz. Many people end up not buying these brands because of budget – either they cannot afford the purchase price or cannot afford the running costs. The main factor that contributes to a car brand’s emotional status is its style and design which differentiates the brand from the rest. But the main weaknesses of most of the ‘emotive’ premium brands are their affordability, economy and practicality. To increase sales across a broader base of customers, especially for those premium brands that are developing smaller models with stronger retail appeal, the premium brands need to offer more rational purchase benefits in the form of lower running costs coupled with smaller and more practical models. Primary benefits sought by premium brand car buyers compared with buyers of all brands, June 2011 Base: 6,162 car buyers [pic] Source: Trend Tracker Alfa Romeo Brand Example Making a brand appeal on a more emotive basis with a strong or unique style and design does not automatically translate into stronger sales, as has occurred, for instance, with the Mini brand. A case in point is...
