...Brandy Fontenot BADM 218-WH Assignment #3 April 21, 2011 Imagine you are the marketing manager for a US manufacturer of disposable diapers. Your firm is considering entering the Brazilian market. Your CEO believes the advertising message that has been effective in the United States will suffice in Brazil. Outline some possible objections to this. Your CEO also believes that the pricing decisions in Brazil can be delegated to local managers. Why might she be wrong? The use of a uniform advertising message offers a number of advantages. However, the difference in customer perceptions and response patterns across the country of Brazil and their culture, as well as media availability and government regulations are major barriers to use a standardized advertising message. With the advanced technological developments, adaption of advertising appeals to different languages. Two major developments are that television can have audio channels in two languages and Internet messages can be automatically translated. The development of visual and verbal advertising that works effectively in multiple countries poses major creative challenges. We could develop a uniform image for the company with consistent visual images and the corporate logo, with a modified advertising message providing information tailored to the Brazilian market and their culture. Accommodating the perception of the culture of Brazil will be our most challenging objective. Allowing local managers...

...Business Administration Business Administration is the stepping stone, the foundation, and the pillar, that’s needed to start a business. It branches to other subjects needed for business, such as business planning, marketing, business ethics, and business law. Business Administration is indeed the process of managing EVERY aspect of a business for growth and/or stability of that business. In other words, it’s the very heart of a business. You might ask yourself “what is business administration?” It’s ok; I asked myself that same question when starting my quest to own and manage my own business. Business Administration is the process of managing EVERY aspect of a business in order for it to maintain its growth or stability, depending on the overall goal of the owner or owners (Black). A lot of companies have a team of dedicated business administrators who work to ensure the growth and stability of the company or business. The man that sits atop of the entire administration is the CEO (chief executive officer) or president of the company. In most cases those two titles represent two different people. The CEO usually has a number of vice presidents under him, who in turn have teams for management, marketing, and research and development. I’d say that Business Administration is the foundation for owning and managing a business. There are aspects of Business Administration to learn if you want to be a successful entrepreneur, such as how to make a business plan, knowing about...

Small Business Plan Editor: Tim Berry (http://articles.bplans.com/writing-a-business-plan/) For any start-ups, a business plan allows gaining a better understanding of the industry structure, competitive landscape, and the capital requirements of starting a small business. Normally a business plan is difficult to implement unless it is simple, specific, realistic and complete. In addition, a good plan will need someone to follow up and check on it. The plan depends on the human factor, particularly the process of commitment and involvement, and the tracking and follow-up that comes afterward. Successful implementation usually starts with a good plan. There are elements that will make a plan more likely to be successfully implemented. It includes: 1. Is the plan simple? Is it easy to understand and to act on? Does it communicate its contents easily and practically? 2. Is the plan...

...Small business owners, particularly those that have built a rapport with regular customers, will err on the side of caution when it comes to collecting on overdue accounts. Many will weigh the short-term benefits of collecting against the long-term risk of potentially alienating current clients and decide a debt write-off is the better business decision. Yet the opposite is true. Allowing delinquent accounts to lapse without taking appropriate measures to collect is as unnecessary as it is costly, although it may seem preferable to taking the wrong approach. What business owners need to understand is the problem of debt collection is less a question of whether to collect but rather how to do so in an effective way. The initial difficulty associated with collections is two-fold. Firstly, it is the failure on behalf of the creditor to implement a pre-emptive accounting process before an invoice has the chance to reach severe delinquency, and subsequently a lack of understanding about effective recovery techniques. Combined, these two factors amount to a substantive level of stagnant debt, which inevitably becomes a loss for the business Stringent, well-established accounting schedules will pick up on a late account well before it reaches the critical 90 day period, when collection becomes far less likely. Good accounting practices will also enable the identification of recurrent delinquency and allow time to alter individual invoicing accordingly. Rather than recovery processes...

...To pursue a master's in business administration Gary M. Newsome MGT/521 August 17, 2010 Stephanie Jackson To pursue a master's in business administration Many people set goals in life with a mindset of accomplishing these goals, and there is no more important goal than achieving a higher degree in education. It always has been my ultimate goal to achieve a master’s in business administration (MBA), but because of the time constraints and long deployments of military service, attending an institution of higher education for an MBA was out of the question. After 30 years of military service and beyond the age of 50, there is no better time to conquer my dreams and achieve my personal goal in obtaining my MBA. This accomplishment will open new a new path toward venturing into another outstanding career. The value of higher education is an important factor for advancement. The opportunity to excel would be the primary reason to achieve this goal while gaining the skills, and knowledge, of management. A position of increased responsibility requires much knowledge to be successful and a company, or business, may fail without these credentials. Mintzberg stated that “managers are important people who are supposed to sit above others, removed and disconnected from the work of making products and selling services. The higher they go, the more important they are, so that on reaching the top, becoming Chief Executive Officer; they are the corporation even if they arrived yesterday...
