Voting Question: Higher Business Management (homeowork)?

Hey, this is a ten mark question and i haven't completed it yet but so far..does my answer sound reasonable? I missed yesterday in class when he went over it so i'm not entirely sure, thanks for any help : ) Higher Business Management Homework A large firm has developed a new product. Describe the factors that should be considered when pricing this new product. The market segment in which the organisation wishes to sell it’s product or service must be considered to achieve maximum profit, or any profit at all because if the product is aimed at being sold to working class consumers then the product is unlikely to sell well in this segmentation if the product has a high cost (if it is unnecessary. E.g. Plasma televisions, video games, dishwashers). If the product being released when there are already many competitors e.g. soft drink companies such as Pepsi or Coca Cola then there would need to be a vast amount of money spent on promotion and advertising and is unlikely to sell well if it is more expensive than the commonplace recognized brands. If the product is innovative and new to the market then there are likely to be very few or no competitors so prices can be set initially high when it is introduced. more

Resolved Question: TRanslate in ITALIAN pleaseee!!?

Coca-Cola is the ‘delicious and refreshing’ drink which people consume all over the world, and everywhere in the world it is synonymous with the USA. It all began in Atlanta [Georgia], in 1885, when pharmacist John S. Pemberton made up a new kind of medicine which, according to legend, contained cocaine and was a useful remedy for tiredness and headaches. The following year he added some caffeine and some extract of kola nut and his partner, Frank Robinson, decided to call the new medicine ‘Coca-Cola’. After that the 2 men probably removed the cocaine from the drink, but only very, very few people will ever know the answer to the question ‘What does Coca-Cola really consist of?’ Two years later a businessman bought the recipe and advertised it as a ‘refreshing and delicious drink’. It was a success: everybody in the states wanted to buy and drink it. In 1916 they invented the famous shape of the bottle and by 1919 the business was so successful that another businessman, Ernest Woodruff, bought it for 25 million dollars! In 1923 Ernest’s son, Robert, inherited the empire and understood the international potential of Coca-Cola. A very strange thing happened in 1985, when the Coca-Cola company announced that the 99-year-old recipe was going to change. They produced ‘New Coke’, but the reaction of the American market was terrible. People began to protest against this decision and Coke began selling less and less. It was a disaster. In the end, after only three months, the company was obligated to stop the production of ‘New Coke’ and to go back to ‘Coke classic’. So Coke began selling again, even more than before. more

Resolved Question: TRanslate PLEAseeeee??IN ITALIAN!!!?

The product that has given the world its best-known taste was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on May 8, 1886. Dr. John Stith Pemberton, a local pharmacist, produced the syrup for Coca-Cola®, and carried a jug of the new product down the street to Jacobs' Pharmacy, where it was sampled, pronounced "excellent" and placed on sale for five cents a glass as a soda fountain drink. Carbonated water was teamed with the new syrup to produce a drink that was at once "Delicious and Refreshing," a theme that continues to echo today wherever Coca-Cola is enjoyed.Thinking that "the two Cs would look well in advertising," Dr. Pemberton's partner and bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson, suggested the name and penned the now famous trademark "Coca-Cola" in his unique script. The first newspaper ad for Coca-Cola soon appeared in The Atlanta Journal, inviting thirsty citizens to try "the new and popular soda fountain drink." Hand-painted oilcloth signs reading "Coca-Cola" appeared on store awnings, with the suggestion "Drink" added to inform passersby that the new beverage was for soda fountain refreshment. During the first year, sales averaged a modest nine drinks per day. Dr. Pemberton never realized the potential of the beverage he created. He gradually sold portions of his business to various partners and, just prior to his death in 1888, sold his remaining interest in Coca-Cola to Asa G. Candler. An Atlantan with great business acumen, Mr. Candler proceeded to buy additional rights and acquire complete control.

Resolved Question: Translations that didn;t work?

Here are some advertising slogans that just didn't translate properly. 1. The Dairy Association's huge success with the campaign "Got Milk?" prompted them to expand advertising to Mexico. It was soon brought to their attention the Spanish translation read "Are you lactating?" 2. Coors put its slogan, "Turn It Loose," into Spanish, where it was read as "Suffer From Diarrhea." 3. Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an American campaign: "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux." 4. Clairol introduced the "Mist Stick," a curling iron, into Germany only to find out that "mist" is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the "Manure Stick." 5. When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the US, with the smiling baby on the label. Later they learned that in Africa, companies routinely put pictures on the labels of what's inside, since many people can't read. 6. Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called Cue, the name of a notorious porno magazine. 7. An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market which promoted the Pope's visit. Instead of "I saw the Pope" (el Papa), the shirts read "I Saw the Potato" (la papa). 8. Pepsi's "Come Alive With the Pepsi Generation" translated into "Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back From the Grave" in Chinese. 9. The Coca-Cola name in China was first read as "Kekoukela", meaning "Bite the wax tadpole" or "female horse stuffed with wax", depending on the dialect. Coke then researched 40,000 characters to find a phonetic equivalent "kokou kole", translating into "happiness in the mouth." 10. When Parker Pen marketed a ball-point pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to have read, "It won't leak in your pocket and embarrass you." The company thought that the word "embarazar" (to impregnate) meant to embarrass, so the ad read: "It won't leak in your pocket and make you pregnant!" 11. When American Airlines wanted to advertise its new leather first class seats in the Mexican market, it translated its "Fly In Leather" campaign literally, which meant "Fly Naked" (vuela en cuero) in Spanish! more

Resolved Question: Limit junk food advertising? What happened to parental responsibility and excersise to fight obesity?

Health groups want to ban advertising for junk food to fight obesity. What happened to parents regulating what their kids eat, and promoting excersise. When I was a boy, we had candy, McDonalds, Coca Cola, chips, crisps and all manner of junk food, we had Atari and intellivision game consoles, but none of my friends or myself were obese, because when the sun shined my butt was outside, sport was promoted, and we ate home cooked meals, even with both parents working. Is society really at a state where big brother has to tell us what to eat so we don't get fat. Do people really not care about the welfare and health of their children? People all shout about their freedom, but then they whine about junkfood adverts when there kids are fat, shouldn't they have a look in the mirror, when looking for someone to blame. more
