As the federal government has too many regulations to restrict cheese product, it is better to find somewhere that has less regulations in the world. For example, in France there is a long tradition for people to eat fresh cheese. Cowgirl cheese could choose this kind of market to explore and widen their market.

Treating all of Canada as one market has many advantages. A company typically implements a global strategy when it wants to save money. A company can be more effective when it sells the same products to every market, because there is no extra time spent on differentiating the products per market, which means there are also no extra costs. Money is saved from buying in bulk and having a standard packaging. In return, the company can put more focus on the product and work towards changing and enhancing the product. The case states that the market share of Saralyn Mills has increased in each of the product categories in which it competes. By implementing a standardized strategy,
The executives of Burger Barn have attempted to implement some new changes to Creamy Creations in a positive light. However, some of these changes risk having an impact on the rosy future they foresee for Creamy Creations. Currently, Creamy Creations is still profitable and the financial numbers have rose since they took over management, but there are few things I do not think Burger Barn put any consideration into when they looked at the current state of the business and the future they foresee if business continues down the glories trail it is on currently.

The play Naked Lunch by Michael Hollinger focuses on the relationship between the two characters Vernon and Lucy. The two had previously had a romantic relationship, but for whatever reason ended it. In an attempt to get Lucy back, Vernon invites her to have a steak dinner with him. When Lucy refuses to eat the steak (due to the fact that she is now a vegetarian), things quickly take the turn for the worst. Throughout the play Vernon is controlling, demeaning, manipulative and abusive, and though it seems that Lucy tried to turn her life around and wants better for herself, she is submissive towards him. While telling the story of a previously estranged couple, Michael Hollinger uses metaphor, imagery and characterization in order to show

Together with the usage of green sources to power the factory, these factors raise up the prices of a chocolate bar to the average of $5. It enhances the brand’s value and good image in people’s observation. Even though their prices are more expensive than other competitors’ prices, Theo still has a loyal following of organic chocolate customers. However, it does a very little traditional advertising. Therefore, in order to maintain the loyal customers and attract new consumers, Theo Chocolate is partnering with local and non-profit organizations that promote their company. Joseph Whinney understands that “Having the ingredients and the quality of the product is the most important thing. And then Fair Trade is the secondary message” (Lindell, par. 19), people concern about the taste, the quality, and the organic food. Besides that, Joe believes that people also care about how a company treats its employees and decide whether they wan to to do business with that company or not. Therefore, combining the two strategies is a good way for Theo to promote itself and build brand value inside customers’ minds.
b. Instead of producing a large product line, Pamberton and Krispy Natural should use a niche strategy and stick with a few products in the “Crackers with Filling” market. The four products that they should launch in this market are: white cheddar, creamy Swiss, tomato basil and smoked Gouda. These products have the highest positive purchase intent and the highest percent of testers that preferred the taste of Krispy Natural over leading brands. Eliminating some of the product line will enable the Pamberton trucks to continue carrying the line without running out of room, so they can keep the same distribution.
