While the research paper could
perhaps elaborate further on why some of the vehicles that interfere with
librarian visitors are present, if considering that those vehicles
identified are in fact problems, the paper does have a convincing design
proposal. The design proposal of this report is very straightforward in
purpose and procedure, and is complete in its scope. I found it
particularly interesting that the solicitors outside the library were
noted. This aids to a complete collection of data. It could, however,
perhaps have been noted the cases of interferences or the number of
vehicles that used the library drop off point that could potentially cause
interference. But some of the proposals, like the ten minute drop off
parking spots, can help to correct some of the problems and thus the
research paper accomplishes its main goal.
The strongest point of this research report is its clarity. It is
very clear in its purpose, intent, methods, and findings. The second
strongest point is the…
ithin the painting, the
narrow space in which the woman is seated, with child and tome in lap, is
otherwise toned by a severe symmetry. Furniture, window and angles are cut
with a perfect sharpness, exposing only rightly angled arrangement. This
is even so with the corners of a throw rug and some square floor tiles
which peek out from the Madonna's flowing red gown.
The colors in this gown, as with the green and white embroidered
parlor headboard which looms comfortingly over the figures, represent the
most dramatic and compelling of impressions here. The gown in particular
drapes across the woman's shoulders and spills out in dominant array in the
direct center of the image. Creased and shadowed by its own fabric, the
gown seems to jump from the canvas as a lucid photograph flanked by sharply
painted objects. Among such objects, a brass chamber pot to the bottom
right of the figures does also catch the eye as a break…

There is also something to be said for the margins and other metrics that reveal themselves as a result of the work done on this assignment. Essentially, Tiffany has a model that could work but there must be some adjustments made. While Tiffany could break a profit with the overall money flow she has going on, she will either need to improve her margins or greatly raise her production if she wishes to live with a six-figure income after all expenses are paid.
Based on the analysis and calculations done on the spreadsheet, a few things become clear. First, ramping up production is something that Tiffany will absolutely have to do, at a minimum, if she wants to have a six-figure salary given the other facts and expenses that are going on. Indeed, given her current expenditures, ramping up production would not be enough and lack of production is not…

Strategic Change
Organizations that want to survive, succeed and ultimately undertake good and significant work have to react to the challenges and difficulties presented by the world. One major aspect of this response could necessitate the organization shifting its focus as well as its approaches and strategies. These aspects of strategic change for an organization are important and pivotal in the growth of an organization and continued success and prosperity. In addition, it enables an organization not to be obsolete in whatever industry or sector it operates (Bryson, 2011; Lega, F, Longo, & otolo, 2013). Morever, Malik, Al Kahtani, & Naushad (2013) opine that, a strategic planning process that is well-designed and implemented in a proper manner can provide the organization with a medium and opportunity for entity-wide discussions and deliberations about significant decisions. The practice can also be systematized to make evaluation, resource apportionment, and authorization easier, and be a…

GWA (Genome-Wide Association ) Study Analysis for OCD
The OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) is a type of mental disorder that makes people doing the same thing repeatedly. In other words, the OCD is characterized by unreasonable obsessive fear and thoughts that lead to repetitive behaviors. People suffering from OCD are unable to control their activities and thoughts. While the cause of OCD is unknown, however, the risk factors include stress and history of child abuse. (Moran, 2013).The OSD is characterized by the neuropsychiatric disorder with features of compulsion and obsession or combination of both features. (Moran, 2013). Within the last decade, the OCD is increasingly demanding high attention from psychiatric and medical institutions due to the higher rates of its clinical diagnosis. In the United States, people suffering from OCD are approximately between 1 and 5% of the total population, however, the OSD is common among adolescent and adults. Most psychologists…

PESTEL Analysis: South Korea
It is increasingly uncertain which nations are best to invest in, particularly given the volatile situation in the United States which will affect the world as a whole. One of the most useful tools to evaluate investments is that of PESTEL analysis, an acronym which stands for Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal analysis. Based upon this evaluation of resources, one of the most attractive nations in which to invest is that of South Korea due to its government stability and technological resources.
Political
South Korea has a relatively stable government. Although South Korea is occasionally outshined by its neighbor China because of China's sheer size, South Korea still boasts a democratically-elected government with a republican form of democracy and a constitution which "protects individual rights in additional to economic provisions, such as stable and balanced growth rates, proper distribution of income, and preventing abuse of economic power"…

Analysis of General Motors Module 1 SLP [Pick the date]
The company that has been selected to analyze for the SLP project is General Motors. This company has been selected by me because it has been undoubtedly a market leader in automobile industry for several decades. And the interesting part about GM's history is that after ruling in this industry enjoying complete sovereignty, it filed for bankruptcy in year 2009. How a giant turned into a feeble structure, would have an interesting story to analyze. Main source of information about GM would its website, its published statement, printed articles, reports of market research companies, online libraries and authentic journals about it; all these sources would be mainly accessed through internet.

Wisdom of Job
The book of Job is one of the greatest depictions of the concept of theodicy in the Holy Scripture. Job is seen to undergo large-scale suffering in the hands of Satan before God finally restores him to his original state of wealth and glory. This text analyses among other things, how the book of Job qualifies as speculative wisdom literature, its major themes, and the specific features it uses to present these themes.
Analysis of the Book of Job
In this context, the term 'wisdom literature' encompasses the various books in the Bible that contemplate the complex situations of human life and give instructions for successful Christian living. They can be categorized into two -- Proverbial wisdom literature, and speculative wisdom literature. The book of Proverbs is a perfect example of the former, whereas Job and Ecclesiastes lend themselves more to the latter. This text dwells specifically on the book…

Business (Project Management)
Make vs. Buy Decision Tree Analysis
A great deal of the process and practice of risk management encompasses delving into the future, making an attempt to comprehend what might take place and whether it is of significance. The decision tree analysis is incorporated and contained within the PMBOK® Guide as one of the methods of project management and quantitative risk analysis (Hutlett, n.d). In definition, a decision tree is a graphical demonstration of conceivable resolutions to a decision centered on a number of particular situations and circumstance. It is termed a decision tree as it commences with a single root, which thereafter diverges and divides into a number of resolutions, similar to the way a tree has branches. There is great benefit and advantage that decision trees offer (Milosevic, 2003). This is because not only are they beneficial graphics that facilitate in perceiving what one thinks, but also because…

The small areas studies deliver a number of useful comparison for studying the effectiveness and efficiency of alternative method that can be employed in delivering healthcare. The small area studies are centered on a large Medicare on the cardiology treatment at Elyria in Ohio, and some researchers have applied the approach in delivering care. In August 2006, total patients at Ohio Medicare were 55,953 based on 2000 census, and 31 cardiologists "performed the 3,400 angioplasties in 2004." (McLaughlin, & McLaughlin, 2014 p 205). In 2003, the Elyria rate "was 42 angioplasties per 1000 Medicare enrollees compared to" 11.3 nationwide and 13.5 for all Ohio. (McLaughlin, & McLaughlin, 2014 p 205).
In Elyria, cardiologist heavily rely on angioplasty, and one of the effects of Elyria methodology is that it provides a solid evidence for quality healthcare for patients. In the United States, both the bypass surgery…

Theology: Analysis of Hebrews
Analysis of Hebrews: Theology
The Book of Hebrews is one of the most complicated and obscure books in the New Testament. It is believed that the book was addressed to Jewish converts in Palestine to warn them against apostasy. The central message is that Christians need to preserve in the face of adversity so that they do not perish. This text reviews what the book of Hebrews says about Christ as the High Priest, and the concept of apostasy.
Christ the Better Savior
Chapter 7 of the Book of Hebrews teaches that Christ is the High Priest who sits at the right hand of God on the heavenly throne, and represents humanity before God. There are multiple passages in the book of Hebrews that support Christ's work as a high priest: He made atonement for sin (Heb 2: 7); He represents humanity before God just as the Old Testament priests…

(2) In what manner could it be ascribed to the corporate vulture and lack of ethics from a global perspective? (3) What lessons can be learned from the failures by the gatekeepers that might prevent failures of other companies in the future? And (4) What insights can you derive from the films and links regarding the causation of these scandals?

McDonalds' Sustainable Competitive Advantage
Sustainable competitive advantage is the distinctive position that a company establishes with respect to competitors that enables it to consistently perform better than them (Grant, 1991). A sustainable competitive advantage comes about when a company is in possession of value-creating procedures and situations that cannot be replicated or copied by other companies (Baron, 1995). As such, it is imperative for a company to sustain its sustainable competitive advantage at all times and for as long as possible (Schuler and MacMillan, 1984). It enables the company to maintain and improve the competitive position of the company in the industry and in the marketplace (Mehta and Mehta, 2013). As a result, the company is able to ensure competition for lengthy periods or spells. In is imperative to take note that sustainable competitive advantage can be established and developed over a certain period on the basis of a number…

NIBCOs Big Bang
easons behind NIBCO's Decision to Implement an EP System
One of the main reasons behind the decision by NIBCO to execute an EP system that spun across the whole organization was the need to incorporate all the operations of the company over an assimilated, single policy. This was to ensure that issues linked to matching and managing information as well as data from individual and separate systems could be disregarded. And, this in turn, would ensure that the organization could operate and function in a more efficient manner.
The prevailing systems of the company were outdated, hence not satisfactory or suitable enough to sustain the increasing needs of the organization. It was imperative for the company to strengthen the whole of its supply chain process so as to meet and sustain the needs of the consumers. As a result, it was important to incorporate a platform that was not only…

Existential Psychotherapy
Existential psychotherapies make use of several approaches to therapeutic goals, research methodologies, intervention strategies and case conceptualization. The focus is often on comprehending human experience as well as on the client and not on the symptoms. Existentialists view individuals as meaning-making beings that are both objects of reflection and subjects of experience. Given that existentialists are highly aware of the possibility of theories dehumanizing people and making them objects, there is more emphasis on precedence than there is on artificial explanations (Corsini & Wedding, 2013, p. 265-6).
The concern of existential therapists is rediscovering the human person in the midst of the prevailing culture that is dehumanizing people. To achieve this, a deep psychological analysis is carried out. The focus is not so much about getting rid of the symptoms but on achieving higher freedom and awareness as relates to the living individual (Corsini & Wedding 2013, p.272). Several people…

Identify and interpret the correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination in the data table
According to the data in the table illustrated above, the H parameters are negatively correlated with majority of the metabolic risk factors. These include the waist circumference, SBP, levels of serum triglycerides as well as the serum CP levels. This is owing to the fact that the coefficient correlations of these parameters from the multiple linear regression analysis were negative, for both boys and girls. However, on the other hand, the coefficient correlations if serum HDL levels were positive which shows that this parameter is positively correlated with H (Lin et al., 2008).

Financial Statements
Description of the Financial Statements
Financial statements are fundamental in measuring and gauging the real financial strength of a company. These statements provide measureable data for reports and aid the investor to gain an understanding of a company's imminent prospects and risks (Taparia, 21). The financial activities of any company's business operations and transactions are summarized in three basic financial statements. These are the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statements.
The income statement is a financial report, which gives an accounting of the company's income for a certain period of time. Principally, this includes the revenues and expenses that bring about such income. The income statement is also referred to as the profit and loss statement and reveals how an entity has performed by showing the revenues and the expenses and the amount of resultant profit or loss. Items of the balance sheet include revenue, cost of goods, expenses,…

Neo-Aristotelian Analysis of Reagan's Evil Empire Speech
The speech that later on came to be widely referred to as the Evil Empire Speech was delivered to and before Annual Convention of the National Association of Evangelicals in March 8, 1983. It has been considered to be one of the most effective speeches that President Reagan delivered within a few minutes.
The speech was informed by the prevailing political situation, the moral discussions and even the religious discourse at the moment. At the moment, there was the contentious issue of nuclear arms race and the need to make the world a safe place for the present and future generations, the issue of the morality behind abortion was at all time high and the previous year there was the highest rate of infanticide than ever seen before. These were the three issues that informed the speech that President Reagan delivered before the church congregation.

An Analysis of The Joint Integrated Contingency Model (JICM)Introduction and BackgroundThe discipline of operations research developed as an outgrowth of the development of science and technology in the 20th Century early years. After the First World War, researchers envisioned the best way to defeat or implement airplanes, large armed warships, and submarines. In late 1941, operational research as a discipline had developed in the major military commands, first in Britain and eventually in other organizations in the US army, air, and naval corporations. For instance, in 1945, its development allowed Air Corporation to drop about 13000 mines to damage or sink approximately 1075 warships. The main advantage of operations research is that it lowered the loss of surface ships and improved the sinking of blockade-runner submarines. After the Second World War, various leaders have recognized the value in analysis exceeding the operational level. As a result, the discipline has increasingly…

Vertical Jump Movement Analysis
The vertical jump is a body movement that is commonly associated with sports persons especially in specialized sporting areas like basketball and volleyball. The success of any sports man in these games is largely attributed to ability to do vertical jump effectively. The vertical jump has been utilized in the past to study and follow up on jumping ability trough a strength and condition program. Irrespective of the prevalent use of the vertical jump, many writers or personnel have not demonstrated a well understood mechanics of this movement. However some of the information provided such as the kinesiological analysis has become useful in this area.
A look at the anatomy of the lower extremity reveals special muscles that aide in this process. It helps the movement of the legs. Several of the muscles of the lower extremity go over more than one joint in the legs. Rectus femoris…

Evaluating Intelligence PresentationsSoldiers of Allah: A Jihadist LA Rap Group.The presentation entitled Soldiers of Allah: A Jihadist Rap Group draws the audiences attention to a potential threat. Although it is a brief, six-slide presentation, Soldiers of Allah does have the potential of alerting readers to the presence of this jihadist group and to the group members distinguishing markers like tattoos. There is no need for a speaker if the goal of the presentation is simply to raise awareness about the Soldiers of Allah, and to provide local law enforcement with tips on how to recognize its members. The presentation is, however, lacking in sophistication and credibility. Most notable is the absence of sources, which promote integrity in communications (Schwartz, n.d., p. 3). A few key modifications would allow the Soldiers of Allah presentation to stand alone as counterterrorism communications.The Problem with AnonymityThe title page of Soldiers of Allah includes important…

To survive firms need to adapt and change in line with the general marketplace. Many successful firm have been able successful deal with dominant competition and high levels of challenge. One firm which faces these challenges is Caribou Coffee, although the second largest coffee house chain in the U.S. it is an underdog when compared to Starbucks, with just over 400 stores across 18 states in the U.S. and 203 stores in 10 international countries, many of which are franchises (Caribou Coffee, 2016). The company has faced some setbacks due to the high level of completion within the coffee house market, closing some 80 stores in 2013, and a further 88 were converted to Peets Coffee and Tea (Leavitt, 2014; Leonard, 2013).

inclusion" is not part of the law; instead, it states that each student must be educated in the least restrictive educational environment (LRE). Analyze all sides of "inclusion," (1. full inclusion; 2. inclusion in special classes like physical education, art, or lunch; and 3. inclusion in all classes except for reading or math).
Inclusion
The term 'inclusion' means complete acceptance of every student which leads towards sense of acceptance and belonging in the classroom. Over the years, there has not been any fixed definition of inclusion, but different groups and organizations have provided their own definitions. The most basic definition of 'inclusion' states that every student with special needs are supported in 'chronologically age appropriate general education classes' in schools and get the instructions specialized for them by the Individual Education Programs (IEPs) within the general activities of the class and the main curriculum. The idea of 'inclusion' is to ensure…

Erik Kramer Story
Erik Kramer is a man that has been surrounded by a major tragedy and has himself been majorly tragic. Between the drug-related death of his son and his attempted suicide that may or may not be tied to head trauma induced during his time in the National Football League, Erik Kramer is a man that is obviously very tortured and may not be acting under his own devices. The burning question is whether he is more like Chris Benoit in that his mind and his faculties are leaving him or if there is any hope for Kramer after the tragedy, trauma and pain he has endured for much of his life. He is a hero in the sense in that he is the only man to win an NFL playoff game for the Detroit Lions since the 1950's but so much of the rest of his life has…

SWOT analysis for Apple
Strengths
Apple has a name renowned throughout the world as a pioneer of technological innovation and an extremely loyal customer base. There are people who will wait in line for hours to buy the newest Apple product and purchase virtually whatever Apple manufactures. Apple also has a reputation for producing quality products, as honed by its founder Steve Jobs for many years. Its iPhone, iPod, iPad, and other devices dominate the market in all their respective spheres. Apple has fanatically dedicated employees who are willing to work 60-70 hours per week to bolster Apple's creative offerings (Orlitzky, 2016, p. 6). Apple is extremely efficient in its use of organizational resources in generating new research and development, which results in considerable financial savings for the organization (Orlitzky, 2016, p. 7).
Weaknesses
The sudden loss of Steve Jobs meant that the guiding creative force which had shaped Apple's vision for so…

conducive to generating authentic results; Test a that has a 95/75% sensitivity/specificity rating or Test B that has a 75/95% rating. Choosing Test B is the sensible choice regarding this particular study. First of all, the researcher intends on using participants who have already tested positive for Q. Since it can be assumed that all the participants are suffering from Q then the predictor would show a 75% rate of all the sufferers will be identified as suffers. At the same time, Test B has a specificity rate of 95% which means that 95% of the participants who are tested as negative will actually be negative. Abobaker (2015) used the same type of test to determine a diagnosis of sonographically detected abdominal masses in a similar scenario and was able to conclude a high level of sensitivity and specificity.

Workflow Analysis Of A Selected Nursing Activity
Workflow Analysis:
The Tele-Management System
Medication errors have resulted to numerous injuries, which has led to some healthcare providers adopting IT systems such as electronic records and information systems as a measure to minimize the errors. The adoption of these technologies involves several stakeholders, but most importantly, the informatics nurses. These nurses play an important role in optimization by representing the needs of clinicians. In addition, they also assist in improving technological solutions in case of technological hitches with the IT systems. When hospitals adopt technology solutions, it will influence their workflow process (McGonigle and Mastrian, 2012).
The informatics nurses come in to redesign the workflow to accommodate the solution, through evaluation of tasks that will require the utilization of technology. However, the solutions adopted should allow for exchange of information across different hospitals to improve or eliminate dependence on one hospital. This means that an…

The main aim or purpose of this in-depth analysis is to explain in a better way the questions regarding the design, theoretical grounds, dynamics and the coverage of the supply security chain etc. Following are the kind of questions that have been tried to answer in this paper:
To what extent does the SCS initiative covers the security areas, human resource security, facility and cargo etc.
Among the phases in security management such as: recovery that is done from incidents of crime, crime detection and the prevention of crime, which ones are covered by the SCS initiatives and to what limit?
To the SCS initiative exactly what kind of supply chain actors are associated?
In what way are the improvement cycle steps (that are consistent) such as: planning, doing, checking and acting taken into consideration by the SCS initiatives?
With the SCS initiatives how exactly…

PESTLE analysis?
MacDonald's STEP analysis
Technological
Economic
In this paper, we explore the concept of STEP analysis by means of illustration. We perform an elaborate STEP analysis of McDonald's, the world's fast food giant. This is then followed by a recommendation on what actions McDonald's can do in order to take care of the issues that have been exposed via the STEPanalysis.
McDonald's is a food and beverage franchise that by 2001 boasted of close to 28,700 outlets spread in 120 nations Karen,2005). The company's food outlets are very popular among the youth. It offers an environment which is perceived to be safe for families as they can enjoy quality food at an affordable price in a clean environment. The food chain offers its client a familiar environment that is characterized by a McDonald's clown as well as stunning interior worldwide as pointed out by Debres (2005). The company has made efforts to ensure…

32, and Pepsi's ratio is .29. These are close, but suggest that Pepsi is actually able to generate more revenue for every dollar of property and equipment it owns.
This makes sense given the operational differences at these companies; as noted above, Coca Cola does not actually own or operate all of the production elements for its products, thus it makes sense that is has much lower property values than its rival Pepsi, which is more fully integrated (Coca Cola, 2012; Pepsi, 2012). This also suggests, however, that Pepsi's revenue generation and overall value is more tied to its physical properties, plants, and equipment than is Coca Cola, meaning expansion could ne more costly for the company (Palepu, 2007). In this way, productivity might not transfer into long-term efficiency and profitability, which is something both investors and competitors should consider.
Marketing Productivity

Another significant similarity between frame and discourse analyses is that they both generally use qualitative methods of data reduction and presentation. This is in comparison to quantitative analysis, which is more objective and generally presents group rather than individual data. This can make it difficult to apply what it learned to a broader group of people, because they are looking at specific information for different people. This does not mean it is impossible. In both frame and discourse analysis, researchers often take a two-step approach. The first step is to help define the theory, and the second step is to examine text in order to code it and see how it applies.
In addition, both discourse and frame analyses are actually well-suited to study through focus groups and other types of group research. Social movement research can be helped by the use of focus groups because the groups, like the underlying…

A number of researchers think that qualitative and quantitative methodologies cannot be pooled because the assumptions fundamental to each tradition are so greatly different. "Other researchers think they can be used in combination only by alternating between methods: qualitative research is appropriate to answer certain kinds of questions in certain conditions and quantitative is right for others. And some researchers think that both qualitative and quantitative methods can be used simultaneously to answer a research question" (Barnes et al., 2005).
There are two sets of challenges that enfold the idea of frame and discourse analysis. The first takes place in the areas of data collection, analysis, and final presentation results. The challenge surrounds definitions and conceptualizations. Ideational concepts are intrinsically inaccurate and distinctions between frames, ideologies and discourses are often indistinct. Discourse and frames are connected and sometimes overlap. Cultural discourses can comprise frames. Ideologies frequently do the same things frames…

The above table indicates that the sales volume which is required in order to achieve a $100 M. profit at a price of $245 with an &D investment of 30% is 1,676,190 units. This is calculated by dividing the total revenue accrued by the unit price.
X6:
The product X6 has been in the market for a total of 2 years. Unlike the product x5, the customers take great consideration of the product quality while making the purchase decision. The provision of a better quality can be achieved by increasing the &D investment for the product. There is also a need for a price increase in order to take advantage of the investment. The expected target profits is considerably higher than the one for X6 due to the fact that the product would soon reach its peak moments and then roll into maturity phase.
The X6 product will attract a maximum number of…

Profit (CVP) analysis is noted by Cafferky and Wentworth (2010) to be an important decision making tool for managers. CVP helps managers in understanding the connection between the cost and volume with organizational profits in mind.In our previous exercise, we contemplated going back in time and then coming up with the best choices regarding the manufacture of the three handheld devices- X5, X6 and X7. In this study, we use CVP analysis in guiding our decisions on the manufacture of the three product ranges.As Harngren, Datar and Foster (2006) noted, CVP analysis is important in the formulation of product strategy and policy. Our reliance of CVP analysis is based on the fact that it can help in the making of the right choices on our 3 product ranges since the year 2006.This is done without the need for concentrating on the beginning and end of each and every year's…

The firm's balance sheet, however, is very healthy, with great liquidity and no long-term debt.
The fourth largest company in the industry by market cap is Builders FirstSource. This company has a stock price of $5.31. It has no P/E, since it is losing money. The company is focused on products for residential construction in the southern and eastern states, so the housing recovery needs to be in those regions for this company to benefit. The consistent losing of money, however, makes this company a risky investment, as does the high level of long-term debt. The beta is 2.3, which is highly volatile.
The fifth-largest company by market cap is Orchard Supply Hardware Stores, which is a California-based competitor to Home Depot and Lowe's. Its stock is priced at $10.11. The company lost $8.08 per share last year and is on a downward trend in revenue, gross income, operating income and…

These core competencies are the focus of the recommendations given to McDonald's for the resolution of the described problems. By striving to improve their core competencies, McDonald's will be able to improve the customer service they offer to customers considerably as well as to satisfy their customers better Hammer & Stanton, 1999()
Improving production consistency
The big secret behind the success of McDonald's is that the company has long strived to embrace innovation and striving to achieve consistency in the operations of its outlets. Since the "Made for you" production process has been tested and assured to be a workable process for McDonald's this should be implemented on a storewide basis despite the huge upfront expenses to be incurred by the company. These upfront expenses will be compensated by the huge returns and improvements in quality of customer service that come from the company's use of this new production system Hall,…

Marketing Analysis Strategies and Techniques
Keeping products and services relevant to the rapidly changing needs of prospects and customers is a daunting task. The need for keeping products accurately positioned as customers' needs change, continually evaluating and fine-tuning competitive position, monitoring and evaluating customer perceptions are all critical for creating a cohesive strategic marketing plan (Silverblatt, Korgaonkar, 1987). Distribution channels also must be continually evaluated and analyzed as to their effectiveness in serving customers and delivering profitable operations to a company as well. The intent of this analysis is to identify the different types of analysis used by marketers to determine product positioning, competitive position, customer perceptions, and distribution channel analysis.
Product Positioning
The essence of effective product positioning strategies take into account the value delivered by a company with its products and services, how they differ from direct competitors and substitutes, while taking into account the motivations and unmet needs of…

Conjoint Analysis
edesigning Product Lines with Conjoint Analysis:
How Sunbeam Does It
What are the strengths & weakness of the studies ?
The Sunbeam Appliance Company (SAC) division is facing the challenge of differentiating their core product lines, as they are rapidly maturing and losing market share and profits. The decision to pursue conjoint analysis is made to accomplish the following goals. First, Sunbeam wants to know what models need to be in the product line, what their physical appearance needs to be what their performance characteristics also need to be (Page, osenbaum, 1987). What follows is an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of these studies and what Sunbeam could have done differently to minimize the study's weaknesses, which are many.
Strengths
The following are the key strengths of the conjoint analysis studies taken on by Sunbeam in an effort to reposition and profitably grow their food processor line. First, the studies successfully show why…
