...needs to be a clear vision of where the company will be in the long and short term, as well as objectives on how TruEarth will run its business and market its products. The main objectives TruEarth needs to focus on are: project objectives, company objectives, personal objectives; long-term versus short term and also the explicitly stated versus implied objectives. The project objective for TruEarth is to successfully find the best way to enter the emerging whole grain pizza market and be the leader in this environment. As the health food industry has continued to boom, TruEarth needs to find the proper way to enter the fresh, healthy, non-frozen pizza market and appeal to those who want pizza, without the pre-existing health risks. As a company, TruEarth focuses their objectives on sustaining their competitive advantage over competitors in the healthy gourmet foods market when entering into the very profitable pizza market. TruEarth’s initial product launch of the Cucina Fresca brand of fresh cut pasta and sauces proved to be successful due to a first mover advantage in a market without a clear leader. The company must now decide what is going to sustain their competitive advantage: attempt to gain the first mover advantage in the pizza market by launching their product as quickly as possible, or take market research into consideration and tweak their product in order to have a better received product but risk first mover advantage. Gareth DeRosa, founder of TruEarth, had...

However, in today’s Turkey, especially in big cities, people’s eating habit is worsening day by day. In the past our mothers were the ones who take the all responsibility in the kitchen. While our fathers were working and bringing home food, our mothers (or the women in the house) were cooking everything for us. We weren’t worrying about what we ate. However, this tradition is now changing. Especially in big cities like İstanbul, and especially with the new generation, women have joined the workforce.

...this appears to be an affordable lip balm. Appealing or Unappealing? To me, I feel as if the ad was appealing. The colors used to produce the ad were well picked. I feel as if the idea behind the whole ad was very entertaining and because it is a product that I would purchase it made it even more appealing. What I did also like, other than the actual set up of the ad was the soft description of the product. It made me want to go purchase the product because of natural ingredients that are used in the product. Source Factor: EOS paid for this ad. They are becoming a popular brand and are able to now produce advertisements that reach the consumers. Message Factor: The message the ad is trying to send to the reader is that if they purchase the product they will have beautiful smiles. The lip balms posing as flowers suggest that there is an elegant feel when using the product, also it seems to be giving off a natural feel. The description describes that the ingredients used in the product are natural ingredients which makes the product unique. The way the advertisement is presented it seems as though the brand is trying to send the message that they truly care about the way ones smile looks and that it is done with the correct product. Does the ad flow? I think the ad does flow. The first thing I look at when I saw the ad was the circular lip balms posing as flowers.

...BLOOMING PROSPECTS OF FUNCTIONAL FOODS Ashish Mishra1, T.R. Genitha2 1. B. Tech. Food Tech Student, 2. Assistant Professor, Dept. of Food Process Engg, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences, Allahabad 211007 Corresponding author: genithaimmanuel@yahoo.co.in Introduction The tenet "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food," espoused by Hippocrates nearly 2,500 years ago, is receiving renewed interest, now popularly used for Functional foods. The term functional foods was first introduced in Japan in the mid-1980s and refers to processed foods containing ingredients that aid specific bodily functions in addition to being nutritious. The Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board (IOM/FNB, 1994), Japan defined functional foods as "any food or food ingredient that may provide a health benefit beyond the traditional nutrients it contains." Functional foods are foods that provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition due to certain physiologically active components, which may or may not have been manipulated or modified to enhance their bioactivity. These foods may help prevent disease, reduce the risk of developing disease, or enhance health. Rapid advances in food science and technology, an aging population, the rapid rise in health care costs, and changing government marketing and labeling regulations have also had an impact on the functional foods market. Functional foods have been...

Quality is dependent on many factors thus the perception of quality changes depending on the people involved. At Jose’s, the external customers are the diners while the internal customers are the servers, suppliers, hosts, cooks, upper management etc. Quality to the external customer should be defined by their expectations. Some of these expectations include: 1. Ambiance. The decorations, lighting and music should be of Mexican style. 2. Location and accessibility to the restaurant. Ample parking should be available, public transportation should be nearby and the restaurant should be located in a good area. 3. Delicious food.
