...MKT 113: Final Project Part I Final Submission Christian Baker Southern New Hampshire University The purpose of this document is to deliver the product overview and proposed marketing strategy for a new product being launched. The company launching this product provides various pet supplies and will be launching a new pet food line. This pet food line is for cats and dogs and will be called Pawfect. Pawfect will be an all-natural pet food made with high quality ingredients. With the trend in all natural foods, Pawfect will need to be marketed to the correct market segment. The main strength that can be leveraged for the marketing strategy is the fact that the product uses all natural ingredients. There is a trend in consumers being more conscious with what they eat and what they give to their pets. These facts can be marketed to the consumers that our product is superior. Showing these facts to consumers will suggest that other products are of lower quality and not to the consumer’s standards. Convincing the consumers that they are getting a higher quality product will justify the slightly higher purchase price. The target market for this product is “Young Digerati”. These people are young professionals, with ages between 25 and 44, have families, are management level employees, and are wealthy. They have mixed families, so some will have kids and others will not. The ethnicity of this segment is mixed as well with mostly white, Asian, and Hispanic consumers. They...

...MKT 113: Final Project Part I Final Submission Smart Bites Product Overview--When A Bite Is Good For You! Southern New Hampshire University Smart Bites is an all natural dog food product line manufactured in Glen Allen, Virginia. Smart Bites received its start five years ago as the company owner began making dog food when the family pet became ill. During that period, the Smart Bite owner met other families in the area looking for the same alternative and a product was born. Smart Bites formulated a business relationship with The SNHU Pet Store who has experienced tremendous growth over the last five years. They agreed to stock Smart Bites on their shelves and in their online store. Smart Bites decided to perform a SWOT analysis to investigate its strengths and weaknesses. This allowed them to formulate a marketing plan of action. Figure 1: SWOT analysis for Smart Bites Smart Bites found one of its strengths to be the all natural product which appeals to health conscience owners but also allows for a lighter option for less active dogs. A second strength is being manufactured in the U.S.A. This ensures the best governmental production guidelines over those made elsewhere. (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) Smart Bites is a catchy name as is the slogan WHEN A BITE IS ACTUALLY GOOD FOR YOU. Printed on the package, FRESH FROM THE LAND AND SEA enhances the beef, chicken, fish and vegetable flavor lines. Smart Bites will make their product available in store...

...ork2012 - 2013 Catalog A Message from the President “Sullivan University is truly a unique and student success focused institution.” I have shared that statement with numerous groups and it simply summarizes my basic philosophy of what Sullivan is all about. When I say that Sullivan is “student success focused,” I feel as President that I owe a definition of this statement to all who are considering Sullivan University. First, Sullivan is unique among institutions of higher education with its innovative, career-first curriculum. You can earn a career diploma or certificate in a year or less and then accept employment while still being able to complete your associate, bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree by attending during the day, evenings, weekends, or online. Business and industry do not expand or hire new employees only in May or June each year. Yet most institutions of higher education operate on a nine-month school year with almost everyone graduating in May. We remained focused on your success and education, and continue to offer our students the opportunity to begin classes or to graduate four times a year with our flexible, year-round full-time schedule of classes. If you really want to attend a school where your needs (your real needs) come first, consider Sullivan University. I believe we can help you exceed your expectations. Since words cannot fully describe the atmosphere at Sullivan University, please accept my personal invitation to visit and experience...

Discovery in Labor Arbitration Laura J.Cooper* The mere statement of the topic, discovery in labor arbitration, suggests a paradox. Is not the essence of the arbitration process an effort to avoid the procedural complexities that make litigation comparatively slow and costly? More than forty years ago, Learned Hand admonished a litigant distressed with the procedural failings of an arbitration proceeding: Arbitration may or may not be a desirable substitute for trials in courts; as to that the parties must decide in each instance. But when they have adopted it, they must be content with its informalities; they may not hedge it about with those procedural limitations which it is precisely its purpose...

...from perfect. Thus the value of oversea listing as a governance mechanism is highlighted, and that could be better revealed by a deeper analysis of the benefit-and-cost balance by the government which controls the SOEs. However, effective as it is, oversea listing could not be a marvelous antidote to all governance ills. Further, as the two major governance disasters of oversea listed SOEs shows, if the government lacks a proper self-positioning, nontrivial negative implications will be brought to SOEs governance via oversea listing. The ultimate function of corporate governance in SOEs thus relies heavily on public governance. Key words: state-owned-enterprises, oversea listing, corporate China governance, 2 Table of contents I.
