Unit introduction Marketing is at the heart of every organisation’s activity. Its importance is also growing in the non-commercial, public and voluntary sectors. Also, at the heart of marketing is the customer. This unit will introduce learners to some of the tools and techniques all types of organisations use to achieve their objectives. Firstly, learners will explore how different types of organisations use marketing principles to meet the needs of their customers and achieve their objectives. The constraints under which organisations operate are important and learners will study the legal requirements and voluntary codes that affect marketing. Learners will then go on to investigate how organisations collect data through market research and turn it into useful information which can be analysed and used to plan their marketing activities. The segmentation and targeting of groups of customers is a key marketing technique and this is studied in detail. This includes the different bases for segmentation of both consumer and business markets. Next, learners will examine how a marketing mix is developed to meet the needs and aspirations of...

ANGELIKA L. SEVERINO October 2015 CHAPTER 1 PROJECT BACKGROUND AND HISTORY Introduction The phenomenal success of Waffle Time and Pancake Houses has opened the door for many entrepreneurs in the Philippines to start their own businesses. Everyone else wants to learn these companies' trade secrets. However, the success of the business does not lie on the recipe itself. It's a combination of marketing strategy, good location, quality product and service, and branding. We need this project because many of Filipinos are hooked up by this waffles and pancakes. And with so many all-day breakfast restaurants popping up, it’s never been easier to eat breakfast food at any time of the day or if you’re a breakfast addict, for every meal. It’s not molecular gastronomy, but waffle can be a bit tricky. It can be mean different things to different people, for one thing. While it was the ancient Greeks who originally started cooking flat cakes between hot metal plates, it wasn’t until the 13th Century that they started being stamped with various designs. The Dutch were the ones who started calling them waffles and today, there are several different Belgium alone. Pancakes have a long history, dated back to the times of Ancient...

...Unit 4: Unit code: QCF Level 3: Credit value: Business Communication H/502/5413 BTEC National 10 Guided learning hours: 60 Aim and purpose The aim of this unit is to show learners that the collection and management of business information, and the successful communication of that information throughout a business, is critical for the future prosperity of the organisation. Unit introduction A business needs accurate and relevant information from internal and external sources in order to operate profitably. Proper collection of data creates an environment where informed decisions can be taken for the benefit of the business. In order to manage information effectively, there must be good communication systems within the organisation. Staff must possess good verbal and written skills in order to communicate and share information Business information can be used to obtain competitive advantage and promote efficiency. Organisations generate information internally, recording details of products manufactured, purchased and sold, and their associated costs. Businesses use information to manage not only what is currently happening in the organisation but also to plan for the future and ensure their survival. Information is collected, stored, manipulated, analysed and reported to those who need to use it. People need to become skilled manipulators and users of information to ensure organisations become more efficient and succeed in achieving their stated purposes. Since the...

...Introduction The aims of this assignment are to measure the outcome of students’ learning in terms of knowledge acquired, understanding developed and skills or abilities gained in relation to the achievement of the learning outcomes. Learners are expected to use their acquired knowledge to prepare a business report of not less than 3,500 words, clarity of ideas and presentation would attract extra marks as well as use of own initiative and real and imaginative scenarios to demonstrate understanding of the course. COURSE WORK- PROCTER & GAMBLE Zeroing in on the first moment of truth Procter & Gamble, a world leader in consumer packaged goods, sells nearly 300 brands in more than 160 countries. It has sales of $40 billion a year and 130 manufacturing sites around the world. P&G measures consumer satisfaction at two levels, which it calls the two “moments of truth.” The first moment of truth occurs when the consumer reaches the shelf and finds that the desired product is, or is not, available. This is a critical moment, because if the product is not immediately available, the consumer usually moves on to buy a rival product. The second moment of truth depends on the buyer’s satisfaction when consuming the product. This, too, has a crucial impact on consumer loyalty, but is beyond the scope of this case study. Detailed consumer surveys in July 2000 told P&G that in 55% of cases (75% for promotional items), consumers were not satisfied when they looked...

...P6-38 (30 minutes) a. Best Buy (a retailer) reports a much higher receivables turnover rate than does the manufacturer, Caterpillar. The likely reason for this is that retail sales are usually via cash, check, or credit cards (which are like cash for the retailers). Recall that the turnover ratio includes credit sales, but, because most firms do not report credit sales, we are forced to use total sales when we calculate the turnover ratio. Using total sales instead of credit sales overstates the turnover ratio. Manufacturers, on the other hand, usually sell to retailers on credit and the accounts are not collected for a much longer period of time. CAT has a finance subsidiary that provides loan and lease financing. The longer term of these receivables reduces turnover rates. Walmart, on the other hand, is primarily cash-and-carry, hence its high turnover rate for accounts receivable. b. Dell’s relatively higher inventory turnover rate, compared with Caterpillar, most likely reflects the fact that Dell builds to order, not in anticipation of demand. That is, raw materials are not acquired until needed in the production process and components are built by sub-contractors. Both of these techniques reduce the amount of work-in-process inventories that Dell must carry. In addition, Dell does not generally inventory finished products since production commences once the order is placed by its customers. CAT, on the other hand, builds a relatively smaller...
