Private companies harvest meta-data to create complex advertising campaigns (Yu, McLaughlin & Levy, 2014). We shall focus on the retail industry, and how companies use meta-data. We shall also discuss the cons if meta-data collection, the responsibility of lawmakers in regulating meta-data collection. Finally, we shall look at the possible effects of cybersecurity regulations of meta-data on the private industry. Meta-Data in the Retail Industry An example of a popular retail store is Target. Target’s goal is to make it the go-to store for all merchandise, by providing great value, innovation, excellent customer service by adhering to their ‘Expect More. Pay Less.’ promise (Target, 2015). Collecting meta-data about customers helps Target to achieve its goal by creating detailed clients profiles, accurate product suggestions, and a quicker online product search and checkout (Milian, 2014).

...objective of Omega is to overtake Rolex, its natural competitor, people were smiling and saying that Rolex is in a different league, up there. But this positioned Omega, inside and outside, totally. — Nick Hayek, CEO, Swatch Group On the afternoon of March 15, 2011, the only day closed for visitors during Baselworld, the major global watch and jewelry trade show held in Basel, Switzerland, Nick Hayek, the CEO of the leading Swiss watch manufacturer Swatch Group, completed a series of informal meetings with his watchmaking counterparts. After all that had been said behind the glamorously showcased watch collections, Hayek lit a cigar to reflect on the discussions’ impact on his watchmaking empire. The late Nicolas G. Hayek (hereafter Hayek Sr.), the charismatic founder of the Swatch Group (and Nick Hayek’s father) who passed away nine months ago, would have applauded the group’s exceptional 2010 results which encouraged the company to set a sales goal of 10 billion Swiss Francs (CHF) within the next four to five years (see Exhibit 1 for the group’s key financials).1 Given how well the Swatch Group had weathered the recent difficult years for the industry, Hayek was not surprised by the 2010 numbers. He attributed this success partly to the group’s vast range of 19 watch brands serving all consumer segments, and to its solid Swiss industrial base which allowed the group to feed the latest technology into its timepieces. The company’s results had...

...1. Use “niche market” positioning concept Randall should use the “niche market” positioning concept. As the case points out, both “niche” and “mainstream” strategy will help Paramount to raise its market share in super-premium non disposable razor segment. But the “niche” strategy will enables Clean Edge Razor to contribute profit and at the same time, limit the effect of cannibalizing Paramount’s existing products. Two reasons Randall should use the strategy are presented below: • After quantitative analysis, from Exhibit 7 we see the total estimated profit generated by mainstream strategy in Year 1 & 2 is $64 million, bigger than $46.6 million generated by niche market strategy. However, because Paramount only have the budget totaled $48.3 million on advertising and promotions in 2010, it means if Randall requires $42 million to use mainstream strategy to promote Clean Edge Razor, the expense will account for 87% of the company’s annually marketing budget, which will definitely squeeze the budget of Paramount’s other cash cow products, and thus cause the tremendously potential risks on other product’s competitiveness in Moderate and value market. • Secondly, after deducting the cannibalization effect, the profit come from “Paramount’s new customers” who buy Clean Edge Razor under niche strategy scenario in Year 1& 2 is $30.3 million, bigger than $25.6 million under mainstream strategy scenario. In other words, although the sales volume is evidently large by using...

...Drug Store William Murphy Lakewood College Abstract This paper explores the article, “The Historic Drugstore,” published by the William A. Soderland, Sr. Pharmacy Museum, sponsored by Soderlund Village Drug that examines the evolution of the American drug store with particular emphasis on the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The pharmacy museum is located at Soderlund Village Drug in downtown St. Peter, Minnesota and provides a unique perspective about the history of the drug store. A Brief Analysis: The Historic Drug Store The drug store, as we know it today, is quite uniquely an American concept. According to Soderlund Village Drug (2004), beyond offering traditional pharmaceutical goods, drug stores were a driving force for community action, social gastronomies and related human interactions. Explained in great detail by Joseph Fink (2012), during the early 1800's a group of concerned Philadelphia based apothecaries met to discuss the declining trade environment and ways to enhance scientific standards to protect public safety and welfare, as well as to provide improved competency levels of training for apprentices and students within the industry. The result of this meeting was the establishment of the first college to train pharmacists in the United States known as the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, and a prescient foretelling of changes to come. There are two main contenders in the first drugstore in America game. The first claim is attributed to a drug store located...

...revenue from retail prescriptions. These drugstores sell prescription and non-prescription drugs, and general merchandise. Its general merchandise consists of beauty care, personal care, household items, candy, photofinishing, greeting cards, seasonal items, convenience food and Walgreens offers an old-fashioned tonic for fiscal fitness. While Walgreen has fewer stores than its closest rival CVS, it is #1 in the nation in sales (Hoover's Inc, 2007). Walgreens operates about 6,000 stores in 49 states and Puerto Rico, and has three mail order facilities. Walgreen usually builds rather than buys stores, so it can pick prime locations (Hoover's Inc, 2007). Most of their stores are freestanding locations with a few outlets in mall and mini-malls. Throughout this paper I would describe Walgreens physical assets and technology and determine whether or not the organization has optimized its organizational resources for effectiveness and efficiency. In 1901 Charles R. Walgreens Sr. purchased the Chicago drugstore he had been working in as a pharmacist. A second store was bought in 1909 and by 1915, there were five Walgreens drugstore. By 1916, there were four additional stores that were bought, all on Chicago’s South Side. The stores were consolidated as Walgreen Co. with the aim of assuring economies of scale (Walgreens History, 2004). In 1919 there were 20 Walgreens stores established with one of the new store being located near the north side of Chicago. The first store that was...

The history and leadership of Kohl’s paints a picture that their organizational leadership believes in what they do, believes in the organization’s people, the communities that they serve, and serves as an intelligent choice for long term investing; thus, living and breathing their motto of “Expect Great Things” (S&P Net Advantage, 2012). The current President and CEO of Kohl’s, Kevin Mansell, has held many positions within the publicly traded company and has witnessed extensive growth over his twenty-seven years with the organization (Press Room, 2012). Kohl’s CFO, Wesley McDonald, also has a very impressive employment history within the retail industry over the past two decades. A good beginning to his career, McDonald worked for Target, CFO of Abercrombie & Fitch, and is currently serving as the Senior Executive Vice President and CFO of Kohl’s with a financial interest regarding the success of the company, owning 123,700 stocks (Forbes, 2012).

Summary/Abstract History Henry Sy Sr. Henry Sy, Sr. (Chinese: 施至成; pinyin: Shī ZhìChéng; born December 25, 1924) is a Chinese Filipino businessman and the founder and chairman of SM Prime Holdings, the largest retailer and shopping mall operator in the Philippines. He earned his Associate of Arts degree in Commercial Studies at Far Eastern University in 1950. Acknowledged as the country’s "Retail King," he has come a long way from the modest shoe store he set up in Quiapo in 1946, to become Asia's biggest shopping mall operator with over 30 malls throughout the Philippines. He is the Philippines' richest man, gaining 1.4 billion dollars in 2007, amid the global financial crisis. The huge gain was due to his holding company, SM Investments Corp., which has interests in Banco de Oro Universal Bank, inter alia. Forbes magazine's 2008 list of 40 wealthiest Filipinos, revealed the Sy family's net worth was 3.1 billion dollars. Earlier, he was the 2nd wealthiest individual in the Philippines, next to Lucio Tan and (as of 2008) 843rd in the world. Sy is considered a Tai-Pan or tycoon of Asia.
