Apartments.com is a subsidiary of CoStar Group which was founded in 1987 and is known to house the largest comprehensive information on commercial real estate. This information attracts tens of millions of monthly online visitors to one of their websites, these sites include: ForRent.com, ApartmentHomeLiving.com, Westside Rentals, AFTER55.com, CorporateHousing.com, ForRentUniversity.com, Apartamentos.com, Apartmentfinder.com. The website allows users to search for apartments based on various criteria, including location, price range, number of bedrooms, and amenities such as swimming pools, fitness centers, and pet-
friendly options. The website also allows users to virtually tour property listings, view photos, and read reviews before seeing a property in person. The company is large and entrenched with revenues reaching 1.94 billion in 2021, this makes it vulnerable to innovation in the market. Generally, large companies resist innovation because they don’t want to cannibalize their existing products and customer base. Large companies tend to embody the ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ mentality.
One of the biggest weaknesses in the rental community for people trying to find roommates is the lack of efficient roommate-matching services or platforms. Many rental communities leave it up to the tenants to find their roommates, which can be a difficult and time-
consuming process for those new to the area or those who do not have an existing social
network. Currently, there are no major players in the roommate finder rental market, many cannot match peers based on their preferences, likes, and dislikes. Currently, the online community for rental platforms consists of major players like Apartments.com, Zillow, Redfin, and Trulia. Currently, there are no options for individuals to source roommates based on preferences and match them to rental units they may be interested in. We believe we can “kill the
company” by offering a uniform application for users to find properties and rental roommates in one singular area. Our team would kill Apartments.com by using our product tool, Tribe is a multi-sided social rental platform that combines roommate seeking with apartment hunting. Tribe's objective is to compete in the larger marketplace of an online estate while competing in the marketplace unique value proposition by adding the feature of also finding the ideal roommate. Tribe Online restate. Tribe is a social media platform that combines online real estate and finding roommates. Tribe was created to provide a dedicated platform that combines finding roommates and apartments. Tribe streamlines the process of finding a roommate by matching up users' online profiles with other users who share similar property interests. Tribe offers the unique feature of finding roommates as well as apartments. By implementing a side-by profile of both potential apartments and roommates. The first step of the plan is to manage customer usability. Apartments.com is lacking in ease of using their website. If
you, the customer cannot locate tools on the website that is a major problem. Tribe will combat this issue by hiring an expert website designer who will create an optimized featured website with a bonus option to post side-by-side profiles to help customers find their best-fit options for the optimal interface experience. This would be the first part of creating a unique value proposition. The second part of creating a unique value proposition is creating a niche market for

LAWS REGULATING RESTAURANTS
AND OTHER TOURISM-ORIENTED ESTAB.
Due January 25, 2022 7:59 AM
Ana Chua, a Chinese matriarch of an enterprising family
was treated to a sumptuous lunch by her children in
celebration of her 65th birthday. She was brought to
her favorite casual dining Filipino restaurant in Quezon
City. After some jolly conversations and a few bites
of fresh lumpia, Mrs. Chua noticed a foreign object. To
everyone's surprise, it was a used band-aid strip mixed
with the vegetables. Some members of the family
already ingested the entree. One sibling had to go to the
restroom due to discomfort. They called the restaurant
manager to inform him of the situation and the eldest
son managed to take some photos of the dish showing
the band-aid strip. The manager was very apologetic
and volunteered to replace the contaminated dish and
quipped to waive the bil.
• What are the liabilities of the restaurant in this
particular case?

Your uncle owns and operates a small retail store that sells the outdoor clothing of a Ghanaian manufacturer to the predominantly college-student market at KNUST. Lately, a large department store in Kumasi has started selling similar but lower-priced clothing manufactured in China. Your uncle is starting to lose business to this new store. A business associate of your uncle suggested that he considers selling over the internet. Your uncle is the ‘old school type’ who doesn’t even have an email and he has his doubts about getting into something he doesn’t understand. When your uncle heard that you had recently completed a course in e-business, he got excited and contacted you to analyze the situation and offer some suggestions. Your uncle is very much worried about the drastic change that this e-business approach will have on his business and he wonders how he will cope with managing this change.

This does not appeal to the younger demographic, who typically have not yet obtained socioeconomic success.
How American Express can attract the younger demographic, and people with low income to stay competitive on the market and increase sales/profits?

the Internet is teeming with wiki sites or wikifarms hosting countless wiki communities with millions of pages. Popular platforms are Wikia, Wikispaces, PBworks, and Google Sites. All offer free accounts inviting users to browse or start their own wikis on any imaginable topic of interest. One notable online community is Wikibiz on Wikia, which is currently seeking competent business users to edit over 200 articles. It’s not hard to understand how businesses benefit from wikis for providing documentation, establishing a knowledge base, collaborating on and editing articles, and communicating in forums and chats. But what makes a valuable contributor?
Whether they contribute to a wiki on the Internet or at work, participants should try to abide by the conventions of polite society, yet even commonsense rules are often broken.
