However, I still remember my aunt used to bring me lots of candies and those candies were always special. These candies were special because they were brought from abroad. My aunt lived in Canada.

I will remember my first candy experience my whole life. Every child is fond of sweets like candies, chocolates etc. I was no different from other children.

...Bob’s Candies Bob loves making candy, especially varieties of caramel, including plain, chocolate dipped caramels and chocolate dipped caramels with pecans. Bob has received lots of compliments from his friends and neighbors, and several have encouraged him to start his own candy making business. After several days of research, Bob finds that the national average amount of money spent annually per person on this type of specialty candy is $75. Bob believes that the citizens in his area spend more than that per year. Knowing whether or not this is true could help Bob make a wise decision regarding his future business plans. Bob wants to use statistics to support his claim, and to help him obtain a small business loan. Bob also wants to find an estimate of the true amount of money local citizens do spend on this type of specialty candy.

...Personality traits are like candies; they come in many varieties and some have a better flavor than others. Also like candies, personalities can appear extremely different from the outer wrapper than on the inside. I am like a sweet candy that turns spicy after enjoying it for a while; at first I may seem like an amiable girl, but after time the flawed aspects of my personality become apparent. My most prominent character traits concealed by my protective wrapper are my drive for success, my personable nature, and my fiery hotheadedness. A character trait that has helped shaped me into the person I am today is my driven nature. My relentlessness is like a Sport Bean, a jelly bean that energizes the body for activity. This trait motivates and gives me the energy that I need to be successful; therefore, aiding me in conquering my goals. I have shown the world my drive in many instances, such as the eight years of blood, sweat, and tears to reach my goal of earning a scholarship to play collegiate soccer. In high school, my tenacious nature revealed itself again when I graduated in the top twenty-five percent of my class while also earning fifteen hours of college credit. Moreover, this past summer I worked as a real estate broker’s assistant in hopes to eventually land a job as an agent with his agency. My intrinsic drive for success has been a beneficial factor towards achieving every goal I have reached thus far in my life. In addition to being extremely driven, I also...

Gassenheimer Bleu Ribbon Chocolates is a small regional manufacturer of high-quality chocolate that sells its products via trade accounts, corporate-owned stores, and online/mail. Historically, the company has not engaged in strategic planning, as demand was greater than manufacturing capabilities. The trend toward healthier foods and the poor economy, however, has hurt sales. The owners must determine their new strategic direction. Should they change the product line, in-source manufacturing, reduce the number of companyowned stores, increase sales to retail outlets, lay off workers, or hope the health craze ends soon and the economy turns around? Bleu Ribbon Chocolates, a small manufacturer well-known in the Midwest for producing and retailing high-quality chocolates, was at a crossroads. Historically, Bleu Ribbon Chocolates has not engaged in strategic planning. Management saw no need; everything had been going fine. In the past, demand always had been greater than what the company could produce, and geographic expansion was not a goal. Unfortunately, by 2010, the external environment had changed significantly, and the current owners of Bleu Ribbon Chocolates found they needed to determine a new strategic direction. Today, more consumers prefer healthy food products. In fact, organic products comprise 8 percent of the confectionary...

...ladies” is a British short story adapted from the original story written by Rachel Cusk and published in 2003. Sweet Ladies is about a woman named Sylvia Furnish who owns a candy store. One day a small group of women come into her store with all of their children and she catches one of the children stealing candy. Sylvia confronts the mother, and the son, named Troy, starts defending his mother, but ends up apologizing and returns the candy bar. The story stretches over a day, and it is written from Sylvia’s point of view. The story takes place in Doniford, which is a city in the southern part of England and it is described as a cold and windy city because it is near the sea. Mostly the characters in the story are in the candy store, which is a two story building where Sylvia lives on the upper floor. The store is not described as good as I could be, but when you read the story you assume that it is a small dark store because she describes the smell as a “chalky smell of sweets” (page 1line 33) and there is a bell over the door that chimes every time someone walks in. In the store Sylvia sells candy, tobacco and some stationary (page 1line 31). Sylvia Furnish is a very strong minded and bitter woman, but deep down she turns out to be kind and loving (page 4 lines 132-133) because she decides to give Troy a candy bar, the next time he comes to the store, even though he just tried to steal from her. The reason why she is so bitter could be because she lost contact with her own children...

...the proposal of A-One Confectionaries Private Ltd (APL) about becoming its contract manufacturer. OPTIONS: KCPL has the following 3 options: • Option 1: Accept APL’s offer • Option 2: Become an independent contract manufacturer. • Option 3: Rebuild the “MKG” brand. DECISION: KCPL should work on reviving its brand. ACTION PLAN: KCPL has to work on technology upgradation, increasing capacity utilization and managing a efficient workforce. It also has to improve its brand image and target new profitable markets. CONTINGENCY PLAN: As a contingency plan, KCPL can accept the offer of APL. 1. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS Mohan Kumar Gupta started Kanpur Confectioneries Private Limited (KCPL) in Jaipur in 1947 to sell sugar candy under the brand name of “MKG”. He later set up a production unit in Kanpur (UP) because of intense competition in Jaipur. He ventured into the biscuit industry with the “MKG” brand. Its turnover increased during the early 80’s. But with the stiff competition from the firms in the organized and unorganized sector its sales have declined and by mid 80’s it has started making losses (Exhibit 1). It became a contract manufacturer for Pearson Health Drinks Limited (Pearson) in 1985. But Pearson faced stiff competition from A-One Confectioneries Private Limited (APL). Now in September 1987, KCPL has the proposal of becoming a contract manufacturer for APL. If KCPL accepts the proposal,.....

...following case, Express versus Implied Contracts. Suppose that a local businessperson, McDougal, is a good friend of Krunch, the owner of a local candy store. Every day on his lunch hour McDougal goes into Krunch’s candy store and spends about five minutes looking at the candy. After examining Krunch’s candy and talking with Krunch, McDougal usually buys one or two candy bars. One afternoon, McDougal goes into Krunch’s candy shop, looks at the candy, and picks up a $1 candy bar. Seeing that Krunch is very busy, he catches Krunch’s eye, waves the candy bar at Krunch without saying a word, and walks out. An express contract is where the terms of the agreement are fully and explicitly stated in words, oral or written. An implied contract is where the plaintiff furnishes a service or property, the plaintiff expected to be paid for the service or property, and the defendant knew that payment was expected, or the defendant had a chance to reject the services or property and did not (Miller and Jentz, 2008). This would be considered an implied contract. Based on the history that McDougal goes into the candy store every day, spends time looking at the candy, and almost every time buys a candy bar. The time that Kruch the store owner was busy, McDougal picked up a candy bar and waves it to Krunch and walks out. McDougal would have paid for the candy bar at a later time, and would be implied based on his actions. The fact that the store owner did not say anything and remained silent would...

...Subject: Recommendation to Kanpur Confectionaries Private Ltd. Dear Mr. Gupta, On behalf of the Consulting and Analyzing Team (CAT), I present to you the report containing recommendations and the action plan for the benefit of the Kanpur Confectionaries Private Ltd. Outline of the Report Kanpur Confectionaries Private Limited (KCPL) is a family business that is into glucose biscuit production. It was setup by Mohan Kumar Gupta as a sugar candy business. But he soon diversified it into biscuit production unit because of market related issues and low technological requirement. Mr. Gupta had always aspired to make ‘MKG’ a leading brand. He put in a lot of efforts and that showed off. The company performed well in the earlier stages gaining a good amount of market share and profit (and hence revenues too). But due to ever increasing competition in the market, the performance of KCPL gradually started to deteriorate. Eventually, a company that gained 20 lakhs a year started losing more than 15 lakhs a year. Also, they shut off the sugar candy business. Seeing this, two companies proposed offers to KCPL. Problem Statement: What shall KCPL do in order to regain the brand (MKG) popularity and profitability in the biscuits market and fully utilize its production capacity keeping its integrity intact? The options include the following: 1) Accept A-One Private Limited’s (APL) proposal in addition to continuing its own production of 120 tons and stop manufacturing for Pearson. ...

...Candy and chocolate are treats enjoyed by many. They come in a variety, ranging from Snickers and Hershey's to Starbursts and Skittles. When choosing these treats we usually pick the ones we like and exclude the distasteful ones on the basis of flavor or packaging. A candy that is normally "excluded" from the group is black licorice. To be frank, I think black licorice is a candy with a horrid taste; however I tend to "sympathize" with it. Now, I'm not saying that I can relate to black licorice because I'm dark skinned. I am saying it because there were times in my life where I felt excluded from things much as I am inclined to exclude licorice. As a child who has lived in three countries, adjusting can be tough. I remember living in Antigua for a huge chunk...
