...Issue 6: Advertising is a way to let customers know a company’s products and its concept. In which way Subway chooses to make it known to the public. The four primary functional areas of a firm are marketing, finance, operations, and human resource. For most firms, operation is the technical core or “hub” of the organization, interacting with other function areas and suppliers to produce goods and provide service for customers. Is there any good product or service has high sale rate without effective advertising? The answer is absolutely no. Therefore, effective advertising is an important segment in marketing. Advertising is any paid form of nonpersonal presentation and promotion of ideas, goods, or services by an identified sponsor. Advertising can be a cost effective way to disseminate messages, whether to build a brand preference or to educate people. Organizations handle advertising in different ways. In small company, advertising is handled by someone in the sales or marketing department, who works with an advertising agency. A large company will often set up its own department, whose manager reports to the vice president of marketing. The department’s job is to propose a budget, develop strategy, approve ads and campaigns, and handle direct-mail advertising, dealer displays, and other forms of advertising.

...OMGT 5133 Lindsey Johnson and Joel Garza Paper 1: Compare and Contrast November 12, 2011 McDonald’s vs. Subway – The supersized fast food fight Who would have ever thought that our lives would become so complex and time starved that we would have to choose between two all-beef patties or five dollar foot long. McDonald’s and Subway are some of the first things that come to mind whenever you’re in a rush for work, school or for any other urgent matter and hungry at the same time. They both have a diverse variety of ready-to-go foods that you can bring along in the car, bus or as you make your way through the crowded sidewalks of any urban jungle. The difference between McDonald’s and Subway is not as obvious as people might think. They are totally different in terms of food offering so people with different palettes have to decide whether to frequent the golden arches for their famous hamburgers or visit the establishment that Gerard made famous for its submarine sandwiches. One similarity is their exponential growth in recent years, both in the United States and abroad. While both of them are scrumptious enough to get confused about, what is even more confusing is who will win the battle to become the leader of the quick service restaurant category? Quick service restaurants (QSR’s) are establishments where patrons generally order at a cash register or select items from a food bar and pay before they eat. They typically have limited service, drive-thru windows and...
