...Choose Big O Tires Motivation plays a very important role at Big O Tires. From the customer sales representative who has the possibility to make an extra $400 each month, to the tire technician having a chance to win different prizes, such as a television or a brand new set of tires, Big O Tires has set goals for each one of their team members to reach using MOTIVATION as their key component. When I started working at Big O Tires, the pay sounded great, but I was more motivated to reach my four goals each month so I could see that $400 bonus on my check. I have never worked for another company that offered all employees incentives worth getting. Introduction: How Big O Tires started Big O Tires was founded in 1962 by a handful of progressive independent tire dealers, around the same time America fell in love with the automobile. This handful of tire dealers all decided they would get together and form a tire-buying cooperative to keep their repeat customers happy as well as secure pricing. From then until now Big O Tires has continued to grow very rapidly in the Western part of the United States. Today, Big O Tires is not only in the United States but has expanded in Canada as well. They are currently the largest tire retail franchisor in North America. Big O Tires franchises stretch over twenty states in the United States, with some retail stores in Canada, with over 480 independently-owned and operated retail store locations (Big O Tire, LLC, 2012). Big O Tires decided to...

...passenger front tire blows out, now you’re pulled over safely to the side of the road accessing the damage of the tire.

With my step by step help you can change a tire in no time and get back on the road to finish off your day. The first step is to locate the spare tire and the car jack, every car has a spare tire and jack usually located in the trunk of the car. Once you have taken the spare tire and the jack out the trunk of the car make sure that you are on a good hard surface, you don’t want the jack to sink into the ground. Locate the car frame in which you will place the jack right under it so that it will have a good strong hold of the car. You don’t want to be near the car when the car jack is not holding the frame it can become weak and could fall on you while changing the tire. With the tire iron that is included with the car jack you need to just loosen up the lug nuts before you jack the car up. This step will help you remove the tire easier once it is on the jack. With that being done now you can jack the car up just enough where you can take the flat tire off the car. With the car on the jack and the tire is up enough to take off go ahead remove the lug nuts.

...reading a magazine. It’s as if the advertisement was calling out to me and saying, “You should pay attention to me.” The bright color and the warmth of the pictures made it lively. The Bridgestone advertisement went beyond standard advertisement and used it as a dual purpose advertisement, by promoting their Dueler tire and showing solutions and saving to get the tires. The Hummer advertisement uses logos as their primary method for persuading an audience, and the Bridgestone advertisement uses pathos as their primary methods for persuading an audience. Both advertisements were published recently in Popular Science Magazine. Both of them employed Aristotle’s modes of appeal. Consequently, I will be comparing and contrasting advertisements of Bridgestone and Hummer, by analyzing the modes of appeals, claims, support and warrants. Hummer and Bridgestone are well known companies, thus establishing ethos through their brand names. Moreover, the two products have associated websites that anybody can go to, to establish credibility; for Hummer, it is hummer.com, and for Bridgestone, it is bridgestonetire.com. These websites are easily accessible via internet. I mentioned before how their brand names establish ethos. If one had never heard of these brand names and they wanted to see or do research on Hummer and Bridgestone companies one can go to their website and look up the companies background for their credibility. The websites go in-depth in describing their products, their line of work...

...THE WIDE LENS - What successful innovators see that other miss Introduction The discussion topic is the difference between great innovations that succeed and great innovations that fail. In particular, it is worth noting that company’s success depends not just on the ability to execute its own promises but also on whether visible or hidden partners deliver on their promises too. In other words, company’s success depends not just on its own efforts but also on the ability, willingness, and likelihood that the partners that make up its innovation ecosystem succeed as well. Thus, a new perspective must be adopted, a wide lens, with which to assess a company strategy using a new set of tools and frameworks that will expose a company hidden sources of dependence. The Innovation Behind Spot and Avoidable Failure Although great execution is a necessary condition for success, it is not enough. Indeed, while the execution focus draws attention to important aspects of a company strategy (developing customer insight, building core competencies, and beating the competition), it creates a blind spot that hides key dependencies that are equally important in determining success and failure. Examples: Philips Electronics despite sterling execution and rave reviews, Philips's high-definition TV flopped, because its value creation depended on other innovations (the high-definition cameras and transmission standards necessary to make high-definition TV work) that failed to arrive on time...

...Ron’s Tire and Battery Emporium D’Anna Case Ron Flores Martha Gonzales University of Phoenix Ron’s Tire and Battery Emporium Ron’s Tire Shop began when Ron returned from his time in the Army and the Gulf War. After serving six years in the Army, Ron wanted a business of his own where he would be his own boss, no more taking orders from anyone. He had been successful in his small tire shop and had made several good investments over the years, so he decided to expand and take his business into the information technology age. With the help of his friendly banker and the fact that he qualified for a small business grant, he was now able to do just that. Although he did not vote for him, he was thanking President Obama and his several business stimulus grants that were available for people just like him. History of Business Ron’s Tire Shop began in the early 1990’s. The business started with just Ron using his mechanic skills learned in the Army. Soon the business was too much for him alone, and he hired another ex-Army buddy to help him handle the workload. The customers welcomed the personal touch and did not seem to mind if it took some time to order just the right tire or wheel for their vehicle. At that time, the business did not keep an inventory of tires. Everything was special ordered especially for the customer. As his customer base grew, Ron began to think of expansion. Although most people do not like to hire or work with relatives, Ron hired his brother...

...plasmas, and Bose-Einstein’s. Physical Properties Physical properties are things that are observed without changing the identity of the substance. You can think of changes in shape changes, in color, and in size. One example of physical change is if you have something that is a certain color and you change it, it doesn’t change the identity of the substance. Another property is in size. This is a physical property because if you change how big or small an object is you will still have the same substance just smaller. Finally the change in shape is a physical property because you still have the same identities of the object it just looks different. Chemical Properties Chemical properties of matter can only be observed and measured by preforming a chemical change or chemical reaction. You only can tell what a chemical property is by changing a substance's chemical identity. Chemical properties cannot be determined just by viewing or touching the substance you have to cause a chemical reaction between the two. For example hydrogen has the potential to ignite and explode given the right conditions; this is a chemical property. Metals in general have they chemical property of reacting with an acid. Zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas which is also a chemical property. Chemical Change Chemical...

...Marketing Mix University of Phoenix MKT/421 MARKETING Introduction Marketing mix is important for every company to choose which direction to go. The four p’s of marketing mix are product, price, place, and promotion. An evaluation mix of the four elements allows the company to achieve the expectations between the targeted customers and the organizational buyers. Elements of Marketing mix: • Product – The products or services offered to your customer: Their physical attributes what they do, how they differ from your competitors and what benefits they provide. • Price – How you price your product or service so that your price remains competitive but allows you to make a good profit. • Place (Also referred to as Distribution) – Where your business sells its products or services and how it gets those products or services to your customers. • Promotion – The methods used to communicate the features and benefits of your products or services to your target customers (About.com).
