...per year in revenues—and Adidas, which draws about $12 billion per year. In recent years, New Balance has branched out with more models and acquired casual and boot brands, but it still has trouble suing for space at department stores, even when it offers to guarantee stores the products will sell. 2. Problem Identification New Balance’s most loyal customers tend to be middle aged and older individuals who buy shoes for functionality, not fashion, and as their feet don’t grow this demographic will often keep the same pair of shoes for years. Indeed, New Balance’s advertising slogan from the 1980s stated that “We don’t live by fashion. Then again, we don’t die by it either”. While they have since altered their approach in recent years to spur growth, the core of this philosophy remains essentially intact: New Balance values functionality over fashion. But while this certainly hasn’t killed the company, it has contributed partially to its stagnant position in the market with respect to more larger and more fashion-oriented competitors like Nike and Adidas. Unfortunately, many youths prize fashion over functionality. At a department store (Macy’s), I didn’t see a single pair of New Balance shoes on display. At Dick’s Sporting Goods the space allotted to New Balance was far less than that afforded to Nike or even Adidas, and Sports Authority seemed to carry even less New Balance. If New Balance wants to expand sales, it must first generate or demonstrate the excess demand is there...

...THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA Ernest Hemingway The Old Man and the Sea is the story of an epic struggle between an old, seasoned fisherman and the greatest catch of his life. For eighty-four days, Santiago, an aged Cuban fisherman, has set out to sea and returned empty-handed. So conspicuously unlucky is he that the parents of his young, devoted apprentice and friend, Manolin, have forced the boy to leave the old man in order to fish in a more prosperous boat. Nevertheless, the boy continues to care for the old man upon his return each night. He helps the old man tote his gear to his ramshackle hut, secures food for him, and discusses the latest developments in American baseball, especially the trials of the old man’s hero, Joe DiMaggio. Santiago is confident that his unproductive streak will soon come to an end, and he resolves to sail out farther than usual the following day. Character List Santiago - The old man of the novella’s title, Santiago is a Cuban fisherman who has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise, he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble, yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures, and of his craft, is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance. Throughout his life, Santiago has been presented with contests to test his strength and endurance. The marlin with which he struggles for three days represents his greatest challenge. Paradoxically...

Slocum ABOUT This Book A college student challenged a senior citizen, saying it was impossible for their generation to understand his. "You grew up in a different world," the student said. "Today we have television, jet planes, space travel, nuclear energy, computers..." Taking advantage of a pause in the student's litany, the geezer said, "You're right. We didn't have those things when we were young; so we invented them! What are you doing for the next generation?"1 This book is about helping people to learn how to create their own future! It does this by taking advantage of the fact that the reader’s LEFT brain sees the LEFT side (FUN) of the book. The RIGHT brain sees the (MENTAL) side of the book. Its simply FUNdaMENTAL! This in itself is a key feature of this book: It seeks to train the brain to think by many a link. Creating things is NOT done by following a monotonous recipe... The ability to create can be learned by anyone who has a yearn to learn! But the eye must be quick to sort and pick! Embedded inside, many...

...Shimano Inc. Case Write-Up MBAD 6244, March 29, 2011 1. Did the advantages or disadvantages of its location change over time? If so, how did Shimano respond – does it fit Porter’s framework of a global strategy? Exhibit I analyzes Porter’s diamond of national competitive advantage across the four key time periods in Shimano’s history, as outlined below. Time Period 1, from 1920-1970: The city of Sakai was the epicenter of bicycle production in Japan and was advantageous for the early stages of Shimano’s business development. During the 1930s, Shimano leveraged local demand and expanded to meet regional demand through Asia. However, during the 1940s this centralized location of manufacturing was disadvantageous due to its affiliation with military manufacturing. The decade of rebuilding after the war provided Shimano with new opportunities for production technologies to expand its product line, and then Japan’s economic downturn led Shimano to focus on components, which became their core business. This pressure in Japan to develop advanced technology enabled Shimano to break into the U.S. market in 1965 and dominate the Japanese bicycle component industry by 1970. Time Period 2, Entry in European Market: Shimano’s success in the home market was enabled by their location in the Kansai cluster (where 65% of all bikes in Japan were produced). Here, Shimano was close to related and supporting industries which spurred innovation and fast delivery of ideas and products...

...KODAK CASE STUDY HOW KODAK LEVERAGED THE POWER OF COMMUNITY published on 5/20/2008 at MarketingProfs.com by Kimberly Smith When it chose to enter the saturated inkjet market 20 years late, Eastman Kodak had a few surprises up its sleeve: half-priced ink cartridges and prints that retain their bright colors more than 600 times longer than competitor brands. Still, in a world where more-tantalizing gadgets such as ultra-thin laptops and digital cameras often take center stage, the company found it also needed a little ingenuity on the marketing side if it was to merit the attention it needed to gain market share. Proven advertising techniques were set in motion and a special promotion with NBC's Celebrity Apprentice was launched; nevertheless, questions remained about how effective those were in luring the target market. So company Research Analyst Aprille Byam quickly set out to get a better feel for market perceptions and behavior, hoping she might also generate excitement around the new technology. Aspiring to bridge the gap between quantitative and qualitative research, she worked with online panel management provider Vision Critical in 2007 to create Print Rave, a fusion of Web-based panel and online community that allowed the company to both directly communicate with users and moderate member-to-member interactions. That combination allowed Eastman Kodak to delve into the hard questions and keep users engaged so that it could gather the insight needed to forge ahead...

...WIRE DRAWING Objective To know how copper and aluminum drawing is done, and also to understand the machine setting and how the machine operates. Introduction Wire drawing is the process by which a metal rod is forced through a series of varying cross section die(s) and hence the metal rod cross sectional area is varied so as to obtain the desired shape and size. In Kenwest cables company their are 3 wire drawing machines namely:- 1. M55 2. H20 3. M85 1.M55 This is the main copper drawing machine and the one which can handle the 1st drawing process which is hard drawing. The raw material used is usually copper rod of 7.9mm thickness as the hard drawing material. The M55 can also handle further copper drawing like the H20. Operation procedure The M55 has several units namely:- a) stand b) block c) drawing basin d) annealer e) spooler a) stand It is responsible in guiding the copper rod being fed to the block or drawing basin. If its hard drawing its fed to the block but when its further drawing its directly fed into the drawing basin. This is because at the block section the die obtained may have a larger diameter than the copper rod in the case of further drawing hence the block is not required. b) Block It is functional when hard drawing takes place. The 1st die is usually located in this section (the block section) hence drawing process begins at the block section. The copper rod being fed is usually about 7.9mm in diameter which is the diameter...

...Hong Kong Adobe Systems (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) motion analysis driver annotated illustration causal chain Figure 1: Given a geometric model of a mechanical assembly, we analyze it to infer how the individual parts move and interact with each other. The relations and motion parameters are encoded as a time-varying interaction graph. Once the driver is indicated by the user, we compute the motion of the assembly and use it to generate an annotated illustration to depict how the assembly works. We also produce a corresponding causal chain sequence to help the viewer better mentally animate the motion. Abstract How things work visualizations use a variety of visual techniques to depict the operation of complex mechanical assemblies. We present an automated approach for generating such visualizations. Starting with a 3D CAD model of an assembly, we first infer the motions of individual parts and the interactions between parts based on their geometry and a few user specified constraints. We then use this information to generate visualizations that incorporate motion arrows, frame sequences and animation to convey the causal chain of motions and mechanical interactions between parts. We present results for a wide variety of assemblies. Keywords: mechanical assembly, motion depiction, visualization, shape analysis, causal chaining movement. For example, the gearbox in a car is a collection of interlocking gears with different ratios that transforms rotational force from the...

...SWOT Analysis Of Verizon Communications Author DeVry University Instructor Principles of Management/MGMT-303ON Spring Session A March 22, 2008 Introduction As Stacy Collet stated, “In order to swat the competition you need to understand SWOT. SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. It's a way to analyze a company's or a department's position in the market in relation to its competitors. The goal is to identify all the major factors affecting competitiveness before crafting a business strategy. “Verizon, formerly a Communications has now evolved into an Entertainment Company. Verizon now provides Telephone, Television and Internet services. (ComputerWorld, 2002) History Verizon Communications Inc., based in New York and incorporated in Delaware, was formed on June 30, 2000, with the merger of Bell Atlantic Corp. and GTE Corp. Verizon began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the VZ symbol on Monday, July 3, 2000. The symbol was selected because it uses the two letters of the Verizon logo that graphically portray speed, while also echoing the genesis of the company name: veritas, the Latin word connoting certainty and reliability, and horizon, signifying forward-looking and visionary. While Verizon is truly a 21st century company, the mergers that formed Verizon were many years in the making, involving companies with roots that can be traced to the beginnings of the telephone...
