...TO MARKETING (MKT333) Case Study #5 Snap-on Tools began its business in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1918. The original business sold an interchangeable socket wrench set directly to auto mechanics. Snap-on Wrench was incorporated in 1920. They intended to grow the business in a typical fashion by offering its wrenches in an indirect marketing channel through distributors. The distributors, at that time, were less than impressed with the product and Snap-on had difficulty getting its product into the hands of end-users. The founders developed a selling strategy that presented the tools directly to the mechanics with a demonstration and opportunity for the mechanics to try out the product. By 1927 the transition to direct selling-- “from factory-to-warehouse-to-you”—was completed. Although in the past 80 years the sales force dynamics have changed, the basic commitment to direct selling has remained the cornerstone of the Snap-on marketing strategy. In 1939, the Teamsters Union attempted to organize the branch sales force. In direct response, Snap-on introduced a new distribution method by selling territories to individual sales representatives (dealers) and having them carry product inventory in their vehicles for immediate delivery to the customer. The final step in the marketing evolution was establishing each independent dealer as a franchised owner carrying a rolling stock of Snap-on small hand tools. In an effort to increase volume, Snap-on started a program (that...

...A case study done by Kyle E. Miller, who is a graduate of medical education at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, the study was done to a male weightlifter who ended up rupturing his bicep. This whole accident came about when the male was lifting weights and he was doing bicep curls when all of a sudden he felt a snap. Right away he did not do anything but then went to a clinic about three days after the accident and the doctors found out that he had ruptured the long head of the bicep brachii. The author talks about how this was such a rare case done to a twenty eight year old who was healthy and was in great shape. There was no one real reason that pointed the doctors in the right direction for what had caused this. Doctors and the patient...

...CONCEPTS ESSAY: Book Value of Equity FIN/571 November 16, 2015 University of Phoenix “Book Value of the firm’s equity is probably the least informative item on a balance sheet (p.53)” The above statement, based on further research of book value, and how informative it is; could hold true. A balance sheet states that; assets = liabilities + stockholder’s equity, and stockholder’s equity is also known as a firm’s book value. Book value is a snap shot of a firm’s acquisitions. When an asset is purchased it has a matching book and market value, as time goes by the book and market values change. In the case of Apple, Inc., the current book value is: $119.335 billions of dollars; while the market value of Apple Inc., is $706.54 billions of dollars. These numbers are so far from each other and, there are several reasons for the diversity. 1. High Margins - As stated by Steinberg (2012)” Over the last 3 years, Apple’s return on investment exceeds 100% and the company’s annual gross margins pass 40%”. In this instance for Apple, the use of its current assets as well as the resources generate the income Apple needs to stay on top in the world of technology and innovation. 2. Book Value - Company’s in trouble have to rely heavily on their book’s value as potential buyers and investors look there to make their decisions about the company’s worth. Apple’s book value is totally irrelevant, as the company does not have to worry now or in the future about filing bankruptcy...

...” says Victorio. “As an employer, you need to help your employees fill their cups back up, because they are being significantly drained. Whenever you have people being pushed at absolute top levels performing on all 100 cylinders all of the time, they run out of gas. And when they run out of emotional gas, negative behaviors start springing up.” Smart Business spoke with Victorio about how one-on-one coaching with employees can improve morale and help them work better together as a team. What is the value of executive coaching? It can improve morale and provide an internal vision for employees as they ask: What is my value? Why am I here? What am I doing? How can I do it better? Improved morale increases productivity and, in some cases, employers see a change in the first week, with people taking responsibility for their communication with one another, approaching their differences of opinion with less of an edge, having conversations happening in a different way and struggling less. Why should employers be concerned about stressed, overworked employees? It can impact their...
