Dolby Labrotories Inc.
Founded in 1965 by Ray Dolby, Dolby Laboratories became a tremendously successful business
specializing in the sound department, in attempts to create technology that reduces noise in the
film and music industries.
Dolby laboratories expanded into subsectors of business creating
Dolby Digital, a TV broadcasting market, and Dolby E, their encoding program. Despite how
well the business was doing they still faced difficulties with the placement of their products and
complete satisfaction with their customers.
Dolby tended to find problems in the film, music, and television industries to then have their
engineers curate solutions to distribute to customers. A large portion of Dolby’s customer base
was broadcasters, which used several Dolby products to deal with their ‘Loudness problem.’
These products included ‘VU Meters, PPM Meters, Dorrough’s Loudness Meters, Larson Davis
Noice Analysis Products, and DK-Audio Metering Products.’
Due to the large variety of
products Dolby had to fix this one problem, they assumed immediate satisfaction with their
consumers however, the way they positioned their marketing did not exactly allow this to
happen.
As this created issues Dolby asked themselves ‘How often does someone change
channels because of loudness problems?’
As a result of this, I have identified Dolby's largest
problem being the positioning of their products and making sure they market and cater to those
who are most likely to purchase them. Another reason for this may also be due to the complexity
of the products, and people who are not familiar with sound not understanding exactly what these
products do.
Due to the lack of knowledge that most individuals have about sound technology, Dolby should
represent problems in their advertisements.
For example, they should create advertisements
stating ‘Is your sound like this… well Dolby could make it sound like this!’ They would then
continue to demonstrate how much Dolby products can enhance the listening experience for
consumers.
This was Dolby will create a problem and desire for people that did not necessarily
realize it before, and it will cause people to have a demand for the products, ultimately wanting it
more.
Additionally, when selling products to broadcasters, podcasters, content creators, film
and television studies I think it is very important that they make some sort of deal or promotional
contract with them.
This is because with Dolbies technology they are ultimately helping these
companies enhance their quality, so I think it is understandable for Dolby to expect that they get
promotional compensation in return.
For example, this is present now in theaters like AMC.
They have Dolby Theaters, constantly speaking about the enhanced sound in the room and they
give praise to Dolby Laboratories. If smaller broadcasters and companies were to do this as well,
other people in the same industry or other interested individuals may take an interest in Dolby
products, and purchase them.
Dolby could also create another market for more simplified
products like simple headphones, and everyday technology that people who are not experts in
technology can use. By doing this, they will not only allow themselves to become a well-known
and recognizable brand amongst more people, but they will also diversify their brand.
To conclude, I think Dolby is an incredibly successful company, with advanced engineers and
sound experts.
Although Dolby has a loyal customer base, with the suggestions stated above I
believe that Dolby will allow itself to expand to a greater level. The recommendations above
will allow Dolbies products to reach a wider spectrum of consumers, while also allowing for
advanced promotion among their current market.

Two MBA students embarked on their venture thesis. They were Ronaldo Pingol and Cristina Pastrana. They developed a new product called Lampturn.
Essentially, this new product was a desk lantern that reflected colorful and moving images onto the lantern screen. The product was positioned as a novelty night lamp for children's bedrooms or a mood lamp for living rooms. The images were illuminated on the lampscreen by an electric bulb of small-wattage. As the lamp was lit, the heat of the lamp caused the lamp to turn. While the screen revolved around the four sides of the rectangular lamp, an illusion of changing shapes and sizes was created while the images moved from one end of the screen to another.

Assigning a weight to each measure of competitive strength assessment is generally analytically superior
because
weighting each company's overall competitive strength by its percentage share of total industry profits produces a
more accurate measure of its true competitive strength.
○ it singles out which competitor has the most competitively potent core competencies.
○ All of the various measures of competitive strength are not equally important.
an unweighted ranking does not discriminate between companies with high and low market shares.
O a weighted ranking identifies which competitive advantages are most powerful.

A Radant Beauty for a New Generation When Sam Rainer launched Radant Beauty in the USA in spring 2021, it was with a clearly articulated marketing strategy – a hefty first-year sales goal of $1.7 Million. Nine months after rollout, Rainer’s plan seemed to have worked quite well. His skincare company and product line had already topped the $1 Million mark and showed no signs of slowing.
The line was formerly owned Zirh Skin Nutrition, a male skincare line that was acquired by Shisheido in 2000. Rainer immediately recognized an underserved market segment among young people ages fifteen to twenty-nine, a group he called “Generation Me”. A combination of Generation X and Generation Y, Generation Me had long been ignored by the more recognized skincare companies, which tended to make products to help older consumers fight such skin ailments as wrinkles and recondition ageing skin. No serious conservatively priced high-end skin care solutions existed for young skin problems, such…

1.Describe the background of AdRoll?
BACKGROUND OF ADROLLAdRoll wasfounded in 2007 as a means to make advanced display advertising techniques available for brands of all sizes. In 2013, the original founders were still at the company along with two additions that included Suresh Khanna, Vice President of Sales, and Greg Fulton, Senior Product Director, along with 150 employees. It was projected that the company would have 450 employees by January 2014.
The company’s focus was on retargeting, which kept track of consumer’s online browsing behavior. Once this information was collected, AdRoll would then display ads of interest to customers as they traveled around the Web. Without retargeting, only 2 percent of potential customers return to a site. Using retargeting, AdRoll had the potential to bring back the other 98 percent of those customers who otherwise would have never returned. AdRoll also displayed ads for products the consumer had never seen but could potentially be…
