...Research Case Study: Vodafone's Youth Market | | INTRODUCTION This case study will explain how the highly competitive telecommunications market lead Vodafone to set up an on-going 'panel' of respondents to give them a greater understanding of the youth market. THE CLIENT Vodafone is probably the biggest success story of the telecommunications market, becoming a household name with a penetration of 29% (TNS Telecoms panel Q3 2001) of the mobile phone market. Vodafone's media and planning agency, OMD UK plays an important strategic role in terms of researching the commercial market. THE CHALLENGE Operating in such a highly competitive industry meant that Vodafone had to look at new ways of researching how it could best profit from the hugely competitive youth market. The youth market is defined as anyone aged between 16-24 years old. Currently 90% of all 16-24 year olds own a mobile phone in the UK, amounting to 6.1m people in the UK. THE SOLUTION OMD UK, along with 2CV Research, recruited a panel of volunteers who receive monthly questionnaires over a long-term period in order to build up a profile of habits, attitudes and opinions of the young Vodafone user. The panel is made up of 200 respondents, all of whom must have an email address and a mobile phone (this is 85% of the youth market), and is maintained by 2CV. Questions sent out every month cover a whole range of areas, not just telecommunications. The idea is to build a very comprehensive picture of...

...Global Market Research Case Study Analysis The situation discussed in the case tells of an opportunity afforded Sperry/MacLennan Architects and Planners; the Canadian company was founded in 1972 as a one-man architectural practice and years since then they have become a very respected and profitable company in the field of architecture. It has been recorded in text that Aaker, Kumar & Day (2007) stated, “Eight market niches were identified for Canadian architects in the United States, one of which was educational facilities, in particular post-secondary institutions. This niche, identified as most likely to match S/M’s capabilities, is controlled by state governments and private organizations. Mitch Brooks, a junior partner in the firm, has plans to identify and evaluate other possible markets for S/M’s services as part of his October presentation to the board. Other parts of the United States, or the affluent countries of Europe, where recreational facilities are regularly patronized and design is taken seriously, might provide a better export market, given S/M’s string of design successes at home and the international recognition afforded by the Amherst facility design award.” (Chapter 3). Fortunately for S/M, things began to take a turn in the right direction when their persistence and faith was rewarded in 1983. Sperry won the competition for the aquatics facility for the Canada Games in Saint John. Sperry had gained renowned nationwide acknowledgment for its sports facility...

...COMPANY BACKGROUND Whole Foods Market was founded in Austin, Texas, when four local businesspeople decided the natural foods industry was ready for a supermarket format. Their founders were John Mackey and Renee Lawson Hardy, owners of Safer Way Natural Foods, and Craig Weller and Mark Skiles, owners of Clarksville Natural Grocery. The original Whole Foods Market opened in 1980 with a staff of only 19 people. It was an immediate success. At the time, there were less than half a dozen natural food supermarkets in the United States. It has grown in leaps and bounds since then. Today, they are the world’s leader in natural and organic foods, with more than 310 stores in the North America and the United Kingdom (About Whole Foods Market). During its 31-year history, Whole Foods Market has been a leader in the natural and organic food movement across the United States, helping the industry gain acceptance among growing numbers of consumer concerned about the food they eat (Thompson, Strickland, & Gamble, 2010, p.C-2). The company seeks out the finest natural and organic foods available, maintains the strictest quality standards in the industry, and has an unshakeable commitment to sustainable agriculture. Add that to the excitement and fun they bring to shopping for groceries, and you start to get a sense of what they are all about. John Mackey, the company’s cofounder and CEO, believes that Whole Foods’ rapid growth and market success has much to do with its having “remained...

...IHP-504: Healthcare Policy and Financing Case study: To market or not to market Southern New Hampshire University The evaluated case study depicts a scenario wherein a recently established local nonprofit healthcare organization has been in operations for a little over a year. It was founded by a number of healthcare professionals (volunteers) including nurses and administrators who share a common mission, vision and goals. Their mission is to increase the community’s health by extending free preventative health services, such as regular check-ups and immunizations to the most financially vulnerable patient populations, hence their intentions are purely altruistic. The group of healthcare professional volunteers find that since the inception of their venture the results are supremely disappointing as “the current use of their services is only at an estimated 7% of original expectations” (SNHU, n.d., para. 3). Additionally, the no-charge rental space arrangement necessary to conduct the provider-patient physical interactions is limited to the total of three years’ time, and the arrangement is due to expire in less than two years. A new venue may need to be secured and it may not be rent-free (additional expenditures for future consideration). Both the current circumstances that leave a lot to be desired and the uncertain future appear to be increasingly discouraging in continuing this nonprofit venture. However, one of the important aspects that could have prevented...

...To Market or Not To Market: Case Study Differences Between Profit vs. Nonprofit Organizations According to Folland, et al., 2013: Generally, nonprofits do not pay corporate, property, or sales taxes although for-profits do. The only tax advantage enjoyed by for-profits is the ability to write off losses during bad years…On one hand, numerous profit-making firms provide important goods and services to the community, and many provide basic goods, such as food and housing, to the poor. On the other hand, nonprofit firms often serve the well-to-do, and they compete with for-profits. (Folland, et al., 2013, p. 269, 265) Mission and Problem “Community Health Care (CHC) is a non-profit health care organization operating out of Anytown, USA. Its mission is to provide routine check-ups and immunizations at no cost to the economically challenged areas of Anytown. CHC secured a small grant from the state and used the vast majority to purchase all necessary equipment, computers, furniture, and a large supply of gloves, syringes, etc. There is a little money left over that has been set aside for purchasing the vaccinations. They originally believed that through their individual professional networks, they would not need to market CHC. They felt offering such a valuable service for free would result in packed waiting rooms. Unfortunately, the current use of their services is only at an estimated 7% of original expectations. Several individuals within CHC have mentioned shutting down. Others...

...Target Customers As the number of immigrants from South Asia continues to increase and people become more interested in trying other types of cuisine there will be a market for good, authentic fresh Indian food. Amongst the population we have two well defined target markets, the first is the influx of South Asian immigrants who long for a taste of home and the second target market is the large number of students in Kitchener and Waterloo who eat at restaurants more often and are willing to try Indian food. Based on the primary research we have done, we have developed the characteristics of our target customers. The first dimension is the purchase characteristics of our target customer; on average our target customer spends more than $13.00 when dining at a restaurant . Our target customer eats at restaurants more than five times a month and the most common meal which they purchase when dining out is dinner . In terms of demographics our target customer is most likely between the ages of 18 and 29 and is either a student or a young professional. Both of these customers eat at restaurants more than the average person because they are very busy and have little time to cook. Our target customer is also primarily from South Asia as Indian food will appeal to them as it is what they grew up eating or may be similar to the food where they are from. Beyond on this an Indian restaurant with good, authentic, fresh food will also attract those who enjoy ethnic food and also demand a high...
