...to meet their organizational goals. The first problem can be summarized as a need for brand orientation. By definition, brand orientation puts the image and value of the brand at the core of all activity in order to affect more positive and effective outcomes. Currently, the HCCH name, logo, promotional materials and absence of vision statement are negatively effecting its brand orientation. From an external facing perspective, there is a lot of confusion around the organization’s name. The business operates under two names: “Health Care Center for the Homeless” and the “Orange Blossom Family Health Center”. It has been recognized that two key stakeholders, clients and donors, do not understand the difference between these two brands (or even that they are related under one organization) while the word “homeless” carries a stigma. This confusion has the potential to harm donations thereby affecting the facilities ability to provide quality service. As well, there is confusion between the “Health Care Center for the Homeless” and the “Coalition for the Homeless of Central Florida” (a separate independent human services agency in downtown Orlando). Additionally, HCCH must create a strong vision statement to ground its brand orientation. Developing a rebranding plan and strategy to execute this brand orientation becomes the second problem in and of itself. Which is why the second problem is the need...

...UNDERSTANDING CORPORATE REBRANDING: AN EVOLUTION THEORY PERSPECTIVE Alexander C. Tevi, M.Sc. Faculty (Marketing Communications) School of Media and Communication Pan-African University 3, Ahmed Onibudo St. Victoria Island Lagos Nigeria 00234 802 300 2328 alextevi@yahoo.com Olutayo Otubanjo, PhD Senior Lecturer (Marketing) Lagos Business School Pan-African University Km 22 Lekki Epe Expressway Ajah, Lagos, Nigeria. 00234 808 608 6816 totubanjo@lbs.edu.ng Electronic copy available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2197664 Abstract Purpose: This paper seeks to create an epistemologically grounded understanding of the causes and process of corporate rebranding via the lens of the theory of evolution by natural selection. Approach: A review of the factors that trigger corporate rebranding, as reported in academic literature, is made. Following the review, a case is made for the absence of an epistemologically grounded understanding of why firms rebrand. Consequently, the theory of evolution by natural selection is brought forward as a platform for the development of a new model that explicates the causes and process of corporate rebranding. Findings: A new model anchored on the theory of evolution by natural selection, and a new definition of corporate rebranding is advanced. Essentially, the model offers epistemologically grounded reasons for ascendancy of corporate rebranding in the environment. Limitations: This is a conceptual paper – meaning that the model suggested in this...

Part II In this case study, the players are: Jamie Richards. She is the VP of Human Resources which was a position created in response to the unprecedented growth that SHP has experienced in the last 3 years. Jamie’s position is only 10 months old. She had left another similar organization which had suffered from poor employee morale. She wanted to work for SHP because they were different.

According to scottrade.com, this group accounts for almost half of its total business (forty nine percent). Tim Horton’s attract this group through contemporary design and consistency in its advertising and décor, and the drive to keep their products current to avoid the “lost in time” negativity that can arise in small businesses. According to a personal interview with my relative John R. Moses, who is a senior manager at one of the shops in Canada, claims “our consumers tend to be urbanites with relatively high income, professional careers and a focus on modern social lifestyles. This target audience grows at a rate of three percent annually. Young Adults This category consists of individuals aged eighteen to twenty four, total forty percent of Tim Horton’s sales. (Scottrade.com) Tim Horton’s positions itself as a place for college students can relax, study, work in groups, and network. The company appeals to this consumer directly through free internet services, such as Wi-Fi, focusing on social networking and actively cultivating an “energizing” image. According to John R. Moses this group grows four point six percent each year. Kids and Teens Through Tim Horton’s friendly environment, they appeal to kids that come with their parents.

...selling ice cream in over 30 countries including Canada, The United Kingdom, Egypt, Australia, South Korea and India. Yet in such a diverse corporation the household name of Baskin-Robbins is slowly beginning to fade. The Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlors started as separate ventures from Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins, owning Burt's Ice Cream Shop and Snowbird Ice Cream respectively. Snowbird Ice Cream featured 21 flavors, a novel concept for the time. When the separate companies merged in 1953, this concept grew to 31 flavors. [3] Baskin-Robbins is known for its “31 flavors” slogan. The idea of having 31 flavors came from the Carson-Roberts advertising agency (which later Ogilvy & Mather) in 1953, along the slogan “Count the Flavors”, “Where flavor counts.” 31 was also more than the 28 flavors then famously offered at Howard Johnson’s restaurants. [citation?] Burt and Irv also believed that people should be able to sample flavors until they found one they wanted to buy-hence the iconic small pink spoon. During a now famous promotion, Amy Boggioni led a group of three who finished 1 scoop each of all 31 flavors in less than 31 minutes. With such a strong start it would never have been anticipated that Baskin-Robbins would ever face problems with regular sales and recognition. Having been a competitive brand for over 30 years it is a wonder at how places such as: Cold Stone, Dairy Queen and Marble Slab have taken over the ice cream industry...

...the Andrew Mitchell, Cornwall remains one of Europe’s most deprived areas. This is despite the 4 million tourists who visit Cornwall every year. There are two main reasons as to why Cornwall is need of rebranding and they are; deprivation caused by low wages and decline in the rural (primary) economy. There have been many schemes put in place to try and alleviate the crisis in Cornwall. In 2001, a flagship scheme known as the Eden Project opened to visitors. What was once a quarried area used for the collection of China clay, has now been transformed into a conservation site where 3 biomes are home to 1000 plants representing 5000 species. Just by building the Eden Project at the bottom of the quarry has been successful in reimaging the area of Cornwall, which is important because Cornwall has the highest percentage of derelict land in the UK. Success of scheme has been seen through number of visitors and the improvement of employment opportunities for the local people. Within 6 months of its opening the Eden Project was the UK’s third most visited attraction. In addition, the first year saw a 1.9 million visitor count – considerably higher than the estimated 750,000 before it opened. This has also seen an increase in the amount money being spent in the surrounding area as it has been estimated that an average visitor to the Eden Project will spend around £150 in the Cornwall area. This has generated a multiplier effect where those coming over long distances spend money on accommodation...

...1 ACCENTURE: REBRANDING AND REPOSITIONING A GLOBAL POWER BRAND1 INTRODUCTION Andersen Consulting was established in 1989 when the consulting practice of the accounting firm Arthur Andersen separated to form an independent business unit. Andersen Consulting faced the extremely difficult task of positioning itself in the Information Technology market space while simultaneously forging a separate identity from its accounting heritage. The business challenge was to retain the positive aspects of the brand equity developed over decades as Arthur Andersen, yet break away from the limitations associated with an accounting brand. What was notable was that before its inception, Andersen Consulting was generating almost $1 billion annually in revenue, yet wasn’t well known in the information technology marketplace. And to those who did know them, they were often thought of accountants, and not up to the task of delivering innovative technology solutions. In order to bridge this gap, Andersen Consulting used extensive market research to create a brand and naming strategy that would establish immediate credibility in the “consulting” arena, while at the same time leveraging all of the positive aspects with the Arthur Andersen brand. Market research also helped form the strategy for successfully launching the new name and positioning. In order to build a new identity, Andersen Consulting set a groundbreaking precedent by using sophisticated marketing strategies coupled with the professional...

...also its corporate governance and culture (Lawrence & Weber, 2008). This report will recommend some potential strategies for Enron to move forward from the scandal. To do this, we must incorporate stakeholder theory, which “argues that corporations serve a broad public purpose; to create value for society” (Lawrence & Weber, 2014, p 6.). This means that Enron must take responsibility for the scandal it created and take actions to regain its stakeholders’ confidence. To accomplish this, we will first identify and analyze Enron’s primary stakeholders, and then point out the key problems along with possible solutions. Finally, we will end the analysis with the best solutions that Enron should enact. Primary Stakeholders: The three most salient stakeholders are Enron’s shareholders, employees, and the government. We choose these three based on their interests, power, relevance, likelihood to form coalitions, and also due to the legitimacy and urgency of their claims. The first important stakeholder is none other than Enron’s shareholders. The owners of Enron invested their money relying on Enron’s false financial statements, only to lose billions of dollars. They are likely to form coalitions and engage in shareholder activism. In fact, they have the legal power to carry out shareholder lawsuits. The legitimacy of their actions are appropriate because “if owners think that they or their company have been damaged by actions of company officers or director...Shareholder lawsuits...

...CASE REPORT Executive Summary Our team recommends that Microsoft develop the software for non-gaming set-top boxes and partner with a hardware company. This option is likely to produce the greatest ROI for Microsoft because Microsoft’s core competency is developing operating software and this option carries the least amount of risk. Background The consumer demand for the ability to seamlessly integrate and connect devices and data that they use in their daily life is growing rapidly. The ability to connect mobile phones, television sets, tablets, and personal computers has provided consumers with an unparalleled opportunity to the access to information (I), communication (C), and entertainment (E), collectively known as ICE. The struggle amongst Microsoft and archrivals like Apple and Google is to develop the “must-have” product that would redefine the way content is consumed in the living rooms around the world. While streaming content via game consoles has been on the rise, the introduction of streaming content via non-gaming set-top boxes has become increasingly popular. Microsoft must choose how to position itself in this rapidly changing market so that it does not render itself irrelevant and so that it can capitalize on this shift in the way that content is being consumed. Ultimately Microsoft can make one of four choices. Microsoft can: (1) keep the status quo, (2) develop the software for non-gaming set-top boxes and partner with a hardware company, (3) develop...

...dissect what went so dreadfully wrong at J.C. Penney. The former Apple executive was too Silicon Valley for the Plano, Texas, retailer. He was arrogant. He didn’t test his ideas, maintaining the Apple mantra that customers don’t know what they want until you show it to them. He approved marketing campaigns that told loyal Penney’s shoppers that “you deserve to look better,” basically telling them that they looked less than glamorous wearing the brand they had trusted and been comfortable with for years. He hoarded information so that individual store merchandisers didn’t know how various lines were performing. He mocked J.C. Penney’s ways of doing things. He abandoned the discounting customers had come to expect from retailers. And he, and most of the team he recruited, were commuter leaders, jetting back to California after cramming in marathon work sessions at headquarters. These factors certainly couldn’t have helped. I think, however, there’s one major reason behind J.C. Penney’s sudden swoon that not enough commentators are picking up on. There’s one big reason JCP would never be “Bloomingdale’s for the mass market,” as Johnson wanted it to be, and that’s because the mass market is gone. Because the middle class is gone, or at least rapidly going. This reflects a troubling development in our economy, what some have termed the “hourglass economy.” This means that companies can reach both high-end and low-end consumers, but there’s no longer a broad middle to appeal to.
