The Big Dog Running Company Story Summary

The background of this paper we need to mention is that West Coast Fashions, Inc. (WCF), a large designer and marketer of branded apparel announced a strategic reorganization calling for a divestiture of certain assets, and one of the divisions it intended to shed was Mercury Athletic, its wholly owned footwear subsidiary. John Liedtke, the head of business development for Active Gear, Inc. (AGI), a privately held athletic and casual footwear company, contemplated an acquisition opportunity of Mercury that would significantly improve his business. So, he wanted to evaluate this opportunity.

Based on The Running Room’s current situation, Cisco considers a number of alternatives to her present marketing strategy. On one hand, she could continue to maintain a broad target market to appeal to both casual athletes--with more fashion-conscious products that aren’t necessarily running shoes--and serious runners, while attempting to tap into the growing market for women’s athletic shoes with expanded product lines for female athletes. This strategy would help her maintain her aging loyal customers, as she could offer athletic shoes that reflect the new exercise programs that they are becoming involved in instead of running. Conversely, she could narrow her target market to just serious runners, by investing in the high-end molded running shoes and the additional training and promotion that would be required to sell them. An analysis of The Running Room’s strengths and weaknesses can help her determine that the second strategy is the most worthwhile to pursue moving forward. As a former nationally-ranked runner herself, and with both a proven track record for catering to serious runners (who make up a majority of her sales) as well as the flexibility to switch product lines fairly easily, Cisco’s business strengths would support a shift to a more serious runner target market with relative

Our footfalls crunched along the gravel path as the four of us finished our first run at altitude. We breathed in the crisp mountain air, trying to force oxygen into our lungs. Slowly, we walked to the football field, where we played Ultimate Frisbee before eating dinner, showering, and going to bed. This is how we spent our first day at Jim Ryun Running Camp, hosted by Colorado College in Colorado Springs. Former Olympian Jim Ryun organized the camp with the help of his wife, son, and other coaches. Going to running camp gave me an opportunity to strengthen both my ability to compete in cross-country and my faith in God.

Auditors also evaluate the client’s recording of transactions by verifying the monetary amounts of transactions, a process called substantive tests of transactions. For example, the auditor might compare the unit selling price on a duplicate sales invoice with the approved price list as a test of the accuracy objective for sales transactions. Like the test of control in the preceding paragraph, this test satisfies the accuracy transaction-related audit objective for sales. For the sake of efficiency, auditors often perform tests of controls and substantive tests of transactions at the same time.

Central Idea: Running is a positive way to better health, and there are many opportunities to run in races.

Dog Team is a hidden gem in children books from a critical acclaim author who has won 3 Newbery Honor Books in the name of Gary Paulsen. One of the things that people would love about Gary Paulsen writing is how much detail is put in his books he makes you feel like you’re in the story. He explains the importance of a phrase by repeating it, but using different words to mean the same thing. For example “they want to run, breathe to run, eat to run, and live to run”. He poetic and his style of writing is in a calmer tone. This book reminds me why dogs are man’s best friend. It teaches what dogs are capable of and it makes me wonder that my small dog can endure this task. Plus a lot people have dogs that are meant to play with, not to train it

I have chosen to analyse the song “Hound Dog” by Big Mama Thornton, which belongs to the blues genre. I first came across this song while listening to the “Saturday Night Fish Fry” with radio host Raymond O’Donnell, at 9:31 pm on Saturday night (9/10/2016). This song caught my attention because it reminded me of Elvis Presley’s “Hound Dog” - which I later learned was an adaptation of the song first performed by Thornton. She made many different versions of this particular song, but I’m going to analyse the version that was released by Peacock Records. This is a great example of popular music because it is played by professional musicians and there were marketing involved in the production.

Our goals of the marketing proposal will be to attract more participants for the color run and also attract companies that will sponsor the run. The more dashers that participate in the run will lead to more money raised for the special needs gym class at Burlington Township High School. With the help of companies sponsoring the run it will help decrease the cost the school has to put out for the run. The expenses that the sponsors will cover will be the cost of police, water, and the color. It is important that we raise money with the help of sponsors because it will give more money to the gyms for the special needs.

The operation I created my brand for is Conover Cattle Company. The operation is owned by my Father, Kory Jacobsen, and my Grandfather, Allan Kuboushek. The farm started with five cows and with a Simmental influence in 2001. Now the farm is up to 40 cow calf pairs with slightly less Simmental interest, but a more diverse cow herd (Angus, Simmental, and Charolais). The farmland is unique and the history surrounding the area is something I wanted to incorporate into the brand.

Considering Jillian’s lack of knowledge in accounting, Jillian manages a team of 12 salesmen. They are located in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. Jillian has a fear of flying and does not drive very often, therefore she rarely gets to meet with her sales team. The sales team has complained about waiting on their commissions. Their commissions were delayed due to they had to wait on their actual revenue to be calculated. Jillian wanted to keep her team happy so she required her sales team to project what their sales would be for the quarter. Julian then paid commission based on that projection. The projections have been off by 11% on average.
