...have been asked to choose an organisation and one of its products then describe the organisations aims and objectives. The business which I have chosen to base my assignment on is Cadbury Schweppes Plc, a business based in the confectionary, chocolate and beverages market. Cadbury Schweppes is b2b organisation which means it sells from business to business but it is also a b2c business which is a business to consumer organisation. Cadbury Schweppes is a public limited company which means that people are able to buy shares in the organisation. Being a public limited company is of huge benefit to Cadbury Schweppes because it enables them to raise extra finance to support the activities of the business. The Cadbury Schweppes product which I have chosen is 35g dairy milk bar because it is one of their most successful products. The aims of Cadbury Schweppes are: • To profitably and significantly increase their global confectionery share – this is to ensure that their market share rises more than what it was previously so they are more profitably in the long term • To stay on top of their industry – staying on top of their industry involves having the largest share ownership in the market and making more profit than competitors • To be innovative – this is to always improve on existing products so they can meet customer and consumer future needs • To maintain a high standard – to ensure they continuously deliver products which more than meets customer expectations The...

...How does JB Priestly explore and present the theme of gender in the play ‘An Inspector Calls”? Section 3 - Throughout this play JB Priestly has included a range of female characters in the play, from an upper class snob, through a mature daughter and a working class girl. However Eva Smith, the working class girl, was the only character who suffered the most because of her gender, she was treated differently by all character throughout the play. She had no value in society what so ever and we’ve seen this on many different occasions, firstly when Mr.Birling talks about her and quotes, “We were paying the usual rates and if they didn’t like those rates, they could go work somewhere else”, this quote informs us about Mr.Birling views on working class women, in the quote he is indirectly suggesting that he doesn’t need those women to work for him, ‘they could go work somewhere else”, he is basically implying that those women aren’t important for him, he doesn’t need them, if they don’t like what he does they can go work somewhere else, this also shows the lack of respect he has for those women. His tone of voice also tells us that he still doesn’t care or regret the fact the he sacked Eva from her job for asking for a raise. This is just one example of how lower class women were treated, but to think of it upper class women weren’t treated any better either. Even though they were upper class they only had a few more rights than the working class, only because they’re women,...

...Abstract: I consider an upstream supplier that supplies an input to an independent downstream firm and in addition sells the final product to consumers. I find that the upstream supplier cannot implement the monopoly outcome without imposing maximum resale price maintenance (RPM). RPM increases social welfare if consumers’ valuation for the final product of the downstream firm is high, and decreases social welfare otherwise. When the downstream firm is privately informed about the demand it faces, entry into the downstream market serves as a countervailing incentive that allows the upstream supplier to reduce the information rents. Consequently, asymmetric information induces the upstream supplier to enter the downstream market even if entry is not profitable under full information. Keywords: dual distribution, two-part tariff, resale price maintenance, information rents, countervailing incentive JEL Classification Numbers: L41, L42, D82 * I thank Koresh Galil, Asaf Ravkai, Yossi Spiegel, Manuel Trajtenberg, Marisa Trajterman and seminar percipients at Tel Aviv University for helpful comments. * Tel Aviv University, Ramat Aviv, Tel Aviv, 69978, Israel. Email: . 2 1. Introduction Upstream suppliers often adopt a dual distribution system whereby they not only sell their products to retailers but also enter the downstream market and sell their products directly to final consumers. This situation is common in the U.S. automobile industry (Banks, 1993), franchising (Brickley...

...Generation Apple I have chosen Apple as my company of choice. Apple has impacted my life in several different areas throughout the last decade. Their product has assisted me in my education; it has impacted and revolutionized my creativity through software they provide for music, video and photography. I have also been able to use my Apple products at work. Apple began in 1976 when Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak founded Apple Computer Inc. The company had their highs; they were the first company to reach $1 billion in sales. They also had their lows; Jobs and other executives left the company during a management shake up. Today, Forbes lists Apple as #1 Most Powerful Brand, #15 of Global 2000 and #79 of World’s Most Innovative Company. Apple took their failures in design, management and production, studied them and turned them into triumphs. Overall, Apple has been a successful company that shows us the strength of endurance. In 2012 Apple with their newly released iPhone reported that their net income for the fiscal year was $41 billion and over $50 billion in operating cash. Their competitors Microsoft and Samsung were close but still did not overcome the branding that Apple has implanted so strongly into our lives. Samsung with their newly released Samsung Galaxy Note reported a revenue of $29.05 trillion Korean (approximately $24 billion in US) in 2012 and Microsoft with their newly released Windows 8 program reported an income of $24 billion.
