The president of a small chain of women’s clothing stores was concerned about a four-year trend of decreasing profits. The stores have been characterized as being rather conservative over the years with respect to their product line, store decor, and advertising. They have consistently avoided trendy clothes, for example. Their market is now becoming extremely competitive because several aggressive fashion stores are expanding and are aiming at the young, fashion-conscious buyer. As a result of this competition and the disappointing profit trend, the president is considering making the product line appear less conservative and more oriented toward the young buyer. Before making such a risky change, the president feels it prudent to conduct some marketing research to learn the exact status of his chain. What should be the research purpose? Compose a set of research questions that would be helpful.

The major competitor is a large national franchise unit that—in addition to its regular foodservice menu of pizzas, salads, soft drinks, and desserts—offers door-to-door delivery. This delivery service is very popular with the university students and has helped the franchise unit capture approximately 40 percent of the student market. The second competitor is a “pizza wagon” that carries precooked pizzas. The driver circles the university area and sells pizzas on a first-come, first-served basis. The pizza wagon starts the evening with 50 pizzas of all varieties and sizes and usually sells 45 of them at full price. The last 5 are sold for whatever they will bring. It generally takes the wagon all evening to sell the 50 pizzas, but the profit markup is much higher than that obtained from the typical pizza sales at the franchise unit. The other competitor offers only in-house services, but it is well known for the quality of its food.   George does not believe that it is possible to…

A case study of a young man trying to solve a chronic environmental problem. Tariq, during his growing up, saw piles of waste that accumulate in his neighborhood, which has become a chronic problem that causes distortion and bad odors in addition to epidemics and the accumulation of insects and rodents. The problem was the failure of the responsible authorities to find a serious solution to the problem, in addition to the inability of the cleaning workers to deal with the large quantities of waste that were discarded daily. This is in addition to the lack of sufficient awareness among the people who throw waste, not only everywhere and outside except for places designated for this, but also without any attempt to sort it by type. Tariq felt that there must be a way to solve this problem permanently or at least limit its size. He was also convinced that the solution should not be within the framework of civil and non-governmental organizations that work on temporary projects that end…

Delta Air Lines and the Exoskeleton Delta Air Lines is partnering with Sarcos Robotics to explore new employee technology fit for a superhero—a mobile and dexterous exoskeleton designed to boost employees’ physical capabilities and bolster their safety, reports New Equipment Digest (Jan. 15, 2020). Sarcos, the world’s leader in exoskeleton development, has developed a battery-powered, full-body exoskeleton designed to increase human performance and endurance while helping to prevent injury. This robotic suit, designed for employees to wear, does the heavy lifting. By bearing the weight of the suit and the payload, the exoskeleton may enable an employee to lift up to 200 pounds repeatedly for 8 hours at a time without strain or fatigue. The Sancos model is designed for use in industries where lifting and manipulation of heavy materials or awkward objects are required and aren’t easily handled by standard lift equipment. (This is a topic we discuss in the Ergonomics section of Chapter…

The National Halothane Study was a major investigation of the safety of anesthetics used in surgery. Records of more than 850,000 operations performed in 34 major hospitals showed death rates for four common anesthetics: Anesthetic A D Death rate 1.7% 1.7% 3.4% 1.9% There is a clear association between the anesthetic used and the death rate of patients. Anesthetic C appears dangerous.

Read the following fact pattern and answer the questions that follow: Globe Life Insurance Company has undertaken a new sales program that targets neighborhoods in Los Angeles where drive-by shootings were a nightly occurrence. Two such shootings occurred in which children were killed as they sat in their living rooms. Globe salespeople were instructed to "hit" the houses surrounding those where children were victims. They were also told to contact the parents of those children to sell policies for their other children. Tom Raskin, an experienced Globe salesman, read of a drive-by shooting at Nancy Leonard's home, in which Leonard's 5-year-old son was killed. The Los Angeles Times reported that Leonard was a single parent with four other children. Raskin traveled to Leonard's home and described the benefits of a Globe policy for her other children. He offered her the $10,000 term life policy for each of the children for a total cost of $21 per month. Leonard was in the process of…
