...Elizabeth Paul MKTG610 Marketing Strategies Mark Cusack USA Today: Innovation in an Evolving Industry 3/4/2015 USA Today: Innovation in an Evolving Industry USA Today has been a widely successful company for many decades now. When newspapers were the only form of read news, USA Today cornered the market in the national newspaper arena and become one of the number one newspapers for people in the America to read. As the digital age came about, it was time for change and USA today had huge competition ahead of them and difficulty if they did not chose to compete. New companies were emerging as leaders in the online news world, and even established companies were moving towards online news to keep up with the growing technology. Even though things started out very slow, with the reporting quality increasing they saw a large growth in the advertising and revenue side of things. The values that it included were independence, fairness, accuracy and trust. Loyalty played a huge part and something that the reporters loved and cherished about the company itself. However in the late 1990s, things started to change and technology readily started to take over the nation. Online reporting started to become popular as it was quicker and easier for people to access so more people were going from reading the daily newspaper to the internet for their breaking news. They quickly started losing their market share in the daily newspaper sales so they knew chance was needed to be able to keep...

...looking to either move or expand it's manufacturing to the Mexico. The jeans are “made in the USA”, but currently the raw material, and the majority of the jeans are currently fabricated in the United States. They employ 75 people. The company was started five years ago in Nashville, TN, and has seen steady growth in the United States. Narcissus Denim currently fabricates its denim jeans in the USA, with only some of the materials coming from China. The cost of raw materials and manufacturing domestically have become too expensive, so Narcissus needs look outside of the USA. Narcissus is aware of other creators of designer apparel that have gotten bad press for using the “Made in the USA” label because the brands only make a portion each piece of their apparel in the USA. The purpose of this memorandum is to examine the possibility of bringing to the USA neighbor by working with “Maquiladora”, the Spanish word for manufacturer, in Mexico. Aspects of US law, international legal implications, as well as the ethical implications of moving this portion of the company to Mexico are the primary focus areas of research. Domestic Legal and Ethical Implications: Narcissus Denim was founded and gained success because of the quality of the product, in great part because the apparel is “made in the USA”. In order to create a portion of the product in Mexico and keep the “made in the USA” label, Narcissus Denim must ensure at least a portion of jeans be manufactured in the United...

...idea of moving the factory international, specifically somewhere in Asia like China, India, or Bangladesh. “By moving to an international low-wage country” he says, “my profits will triple at a fraction of the cost.” The idea of moving over sea’s sparked my imagination and decided to look further into the idea. It turns out my products would receive little to no reduction in quality and the workers would be paid much less and would not receive any form of health insurance, resulting in more profit in my pocket. The downside is that the Ohio plant would not be able to remain open and 2,000 of my longtime employees would now be jobless and the local economy would most likely take a major hit. After some thought, I came to the conclusion that I will not be moving internationally and the Ohio plant will remain open! If I was to move my company overseas I would make a lot of money from the decision. The company that my grandfather built from the ground up was not money driven, it was built for the love of bicycle making. The company has not gotten where it is today on the dollar of tomorrow; only by the love of bike building. Even though the decision to move international would bring a lot of wealth, it also brings a lot of self-individualism. Companies that go international are self-propelled by their own self-interest. I believe by staying in Ohio my company will stand out among the other bicycle companies. I believe by being able to stamp, “Made in USA” is a very...

...Marriage equality Many believe that “marriage equality is more than just a marriage. It’s about something greater. It’s about acceptance.” (Theron, 2001). This statement speaks volumes for the transition that our society is slowly moving towards which is providing an equal playing field for all those who move in the realm of marital bliss. There are several pros & cons that still cloud the minds of those visualizing the reality of how the acceptance of this type of union can affect our society. The pros that seem to be most evident and noticed by my colleagues is freedom of choice and appropriations while the cons weigh heavily on benefits, religion & social acceptance. When reflecting back on our views of marriage equality the pros seemed to optimistically diminish the cons .Being able to have your own choice of who you marry regarding of gender seems to be the most defining factor of all. Many of the fears of same sex marriages were the effects on children but most studies have shown that is not necessarily a problem and the children seem to receive the same opportunities as those who are raised by heterosexuals. Some studies show other interesting facts that are advantageous for marital equality. Here are some same gender statistics indicating some gradual acceptance: * Same-gender couples live in 99.3% of all US counties. * Same-gender couples are raising children in at least 96% of all US counties. * Nearly one quarter of all same-gender couples...

...Richard Godfrey BMKT 6311 USA Today Case Study The newspaper publishing industry is one of the most rapidly evolving industries in the world today. Changing due to economic climate shift, consumer needs evolving, enhanced technology, and continuous competition; USA Today has been able to succeed. The publication raises the bar through innovation and value-added content to bolster their standing in the publishing world as “The Nation’s Newspaper” in hopes of staying continually relevant and standing out amongst the competition, ensuring the future of the USA Today brand. 1) When Gannett first debuted USA Today in 1982, the corporation took advantage of a multitude of opportunities in the marketing environment and secured a strong foothold in a market that already had several major players. The most impactful opportunity, in my opinion, is its format. In an attempt to stand out from the competition, USA Today developed a unique format of shorter pieces with photos, graphs, charts in order to address the needs of an audience other publications seemingly ignored. By creating a product high in form utility, the publication was able to distinguish itself and cater to an evolving market. Gannett also cited watching trends and evolution of news readers as part of the success. As society shifted to having typically shorter attention spans, yet still having a hunger for knowledge, Gannett capitalized on these trends with the updated format of USA Today targeted towards the evolved...

...My Life Changing Experience The most memorable event I have experienced is moving from Colombia to a country that changes lives and is know as a dreamland called the United States. When I was five years old my parents decided to move to the USA in hope of giving my brother and I a better future. I was given this great opportunity that most people from all over the world yearn for. My family and I have experienced many struggles just as well as accomplishments. Adapting to a whole new environment and way of life was not an easy task. Seeing my parents give up everything we had in Colombia to start a new life in an unfamiliar world. They worked day and night to provide for our family. I remember seeing my mother cry and at some point regret she ever made the decision of moving. At first, I was too small to even understand the reasons why we were moving, all I thought about was going to Disney World and meeting Mickey Mouse. Once I started getting older I also started to understand the actual struggles my family faced. Not being able to communicate with people because you didn’t speak English, feeling alone because all we had was each other, and having to become accustomed to a very distinct culture and traditions. Eventually, everything has facilitated for us. I have integrated to the American culture, I even classify my self partially American. Don’t get me wrong being Colombian to me is such an honor but so is being raised as an American. I love everything about living...

...“My Life-Change Experience,” tells us that she had a lot of hard time when she just moved from her home country to another country. According to the author, she said that moving from one country to another was a life-change experience.

When I got off the airplane, I felt everything was fresh to me and also it was my first time to go to another country. After a while living in the USA, all my freshness feeling has gone, and I started missing home, my parents, and my friends. At that time, I didn’t have any friends in the USA at all and felt so lonely and helpless when I couldn’t understand what people were saying. In this case, I felt so homesick and I always talked to my friends that I missed...

...WK2 – Discovering Marketing Opportunities What opportunities in the marketing environment did Gannett seize in launching USA Today? How did the company learn about and respond to these opportunities? Answer the same questions for USAToday.com. By conducting research and analysis Gannett determined that there were two trends/opportunities that he could take advantage of; one was that an increasingly short attention span among a generation nurtured on television and the other was that there was a growing hunger for more information. With this information Gannet made the newspaper’s primary mission to provide more news in less time. Research suggested that this paper should target achievement-oriented men in professional and management positions who were heavy newspaper readers and frequent travelers. Unlike the other companies/competitors who targeted upper America, Gannett’s company would target middle America- young, well-educated Americans who were on the move and cared about the news and current events. Gannett listened to what the readers wanted and ensured that USA Today would market just that. With this information in hand, Gannett capitalized on it by putting together a team of news, advertising, and production personnel staff from his daily news who developed, edited, published and tested different prototypes. From those prototypes three 40-page versions were sent out to about 5,000 professional people along with a response card for feedback. Marketplace...

...The USA with its enormous budget plan has long been the important determinant of the present trend, regularly representing near 50% of the entire planet's military use. The impacts of worldwide budgetary emergency and the post-Iraq/Afghanistan military operations have seen a decrease in its spending; now representing 39% of using in 2012. The worldwide fiscal and financial emergency brought about numerous countries curtailing numerous kinds of open spending, then again military spending pressed on to expand. Just in 2012 was a fall in world military use noted — and it was a modest fall. How might kept spending be supported in such a period? Soon after the crisis hit, numerous countries liked either high investment development or far less demanding access to credit without any learning of what was to come. A mixture of components demonstrated expanded military spending as of late after the financial crisis as prior SIPRI reports had likewise noted, for instance: •foreign approach destinations •real or observed dangers •armed clash and approaches to help multilateral peacekeeping operations •availability of budgetary assets (Shah) The last point eludes quickly advancing countries like China and India that have seen their economies blast lately. Also, high and climbing world advertise costs for minerals and fossil energizes (in any event up to this point) have additionally empowered a few countries to use increasingly on their militaries.

The question exist that “ What will the future be with weapons?” Will robots be built to have weapons in place of human soldiers? Many questions pop in our minds, thoughts, and opinions about what the future is capable of. In humanity today, we usually hear or see these issues from the radio, television, internet, and so on. Meaning that we can believe whatever the media is saying, but we honestly don’t know what the future holds in store for weapons, just violence. I wanted to talk about robots and the U.S. Department of Defense that will have one-third of its fighting capacity provided by robots. In this issue robots can be good or bad, just depending on the scenario at hand. The good reason is that these robots take place of human beings to save many lives. It saves humanity from risking their own lives in the line of battle, to spend more time with their loved ones. Another reason robots are good for taking out terrorist, and any other dangerous situation without feeling, emotion, or heart. On the opposite side, if robots fail or turn against their creator or humanity, just like the movie “ Terminator”, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Robots would also cause chaos if not programmed correctly to follow orders but is just required to kill. By the year 2035, the 1st completely...
