...MGT 610C and the Degree Master of Business Administration by Virginia C. Hire Damrauer September 2010 Copyright 2010 Virginia C. Hire Damrauer ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Executive Summary When I was traveling for work, it struck me that the interesting places were *not* the chains I find at home, it was the unique experiences that I was craving. Not a franchise, and not an internet thing, just a face-to-face unique experience kind of place.

...children’s clothing and maternity and children’s items at retail price. It also provides an outlet for families to sell their slightly used maternity and children’s clothing and items to the store, providing additional disposable income for these families. Currently, resale shops in this area do not provide the market with both maternity and children’s resale, they mostly focus on just children. Parents will be able to start shopping at Baby Go Round as soon as they find out they are expecting and remain a loyal customer until their child is in their early tweens. Currently, those living in the chosen location, Geneva, Illinois, either have to visit multiple retail stores or a children’s resale store and shop online (like Craigslist) to purchase used maternity clothes. Baby Go Round’s maternity and children’s resale shop provides a cheaper, more convenient and safer way to do both. If a pregnant mother wanted to purchase maternity clothes and didn’t want to pay retail there is currently not a single maternity resale shop in the area. These women would have to go to a garage sale or shop on sites like “Craig’s List” where they have to buy from people’s homes. This can be potentially dangerous for criminals who ploy women to their homes. In addition, if you were trying to sell your items online, inviting strangers to your house when...

In the end, we are our choices. —Jeff Bezos, commencement speech at Princeton University, May 30, 2010 Prologue In the early 1970s, an industrious advertising executive named Julie Ray became fascinated with an unconventional public-school program for gifted children in Houston, Texas. Her son was among the first students enrolled in what would later be called the Vanguard program, which stoked creativity and independence in its students and nurtured expansive, outside-the-box thinking. Ray grew so enamored with the curriculum and the community of enthusiastic teachers and parents that she set out to research similar schools around the state with an eye toward writing a book about...

With so much experience, no one could blame you for wondering why you need a course or this book to tell you how to look at movies. After all, you might say, “It’s just a movie.” For most of us most of the time, movies are a break from our daily obligations—a form of escape, entertainment, and pleasure. Motion pictures had been popular for fifty years before even most filmmakers, much less scholars, considered movies worthy of serious study. But motion pictures are much more than entertainment. The movies we see shape the way we view the world around us and our place in that world. What’s more, a close analysis of any particular movie can tell us a great deal about the artist, society...

...The theory of customer service is based on identifying and satisfying your customers' needs and exceeding their expectations. A company must be totally committed to delivering consistently high standards of service to gain and retain customer loyalty. Everyone from top management on down must be tuned into what the customer wants. Creating a customer service culture within a company can help build success. Customer satisfaction and loyalty are inextricably linked to the quality of customer service and, ultimately, to the company’s profitability. The customer plan is well-found with perception of Vision and Mission of Internal and External Customers. According to (Chris Adalikwu,(2012) Mission Statement The mission of Cree’s Customer Service function is to always convey a passion for the customer and to consistently deliver the best service experience. Statement of Work Customer Service is any activity provided by a Cree employee that enhances the ability of a customer to realize the full potential value of a Cree product or service before and after the sale is made, thereby leading to Customer Satisfaction and repurchase. Customer Service Principles * Recognize the importance of all customers and the role every Cree employee plays in influencing the customer's perceptions. While impacting these perceptions, be professional, reliable, credible, responsive and friendly. * Communicate promptly and honestly and via the customers’ choice of medium. Try to be brief and...

...Data, data everywhere Information has gone from scarce to superabundant. That brings huge new benefits, says Kenneth Cukier (interviewed here)—but also big headaches A special report on managing information Feb 25th 2010 WHEN the Sloan Digital Sky Survey started work in 2000, its telescope in New Mexico collected more data in its first few weeks than had been amassed in the entire history of astronomy. Now, a decade later, its archive contains a whopping 140 terabytes of information. A successor, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, due to come on stream in Chile in 2016, will acquire that quantity of data every five days. Such astronomical amounts of information can be found closer to Earth too. Wal-Mart, a retail giant, handles more than 1m customer transactions every hour, feeding databases estimated at more than 2.5 petabytes—the equivalent of 167 times the books in America’s Library of Congress. Facebook, a social-networking website, is home to 40 billion photos. And decoding the human genome involves analysing 3 billion base pairs—which took ten years the first time it was done, in 2003, but can now be achieved in one week. All these examples tell the same story: that the world contains an unimaginably vast amount of digital information which is getting ever vaster ever more rapidly. This makes it possible to do many things that previously could not be done: spot business trends, prevent diseases, combat crime and so on. Managed well, the data can be...
