For the students of the college, the visual appearance of the campus is _______(rival/nonrival) and ______(nonexcludable/excludable). Thus, the visual appearance would be classified as a public good. Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $34,980. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 1,460 students, asking each of them their willingness to pay for the beautification project. The average willingness to pay, as revealed by the survey, is $32. The benefit of the beautification initiative, as suggested by the survey, is $_______. Because the estimated benefit is _______(less/greater) than the cost, the college administrators _______(should not/should) undertake the beautification initiative. The calculation of the benefit of the beautification initiative relied on the ability of the administrators to capture the true willingness to pay of each student accurately. Which…
One of the oldest principles of marketing is that sellers may sell features, but buyers essentially buy benefits. This is a distinction sometimes lost on technology ledorganizations, and the service sector is no exception. Recent experience of the UK’s largest telecommunications company, Della’s, illustrates how crucial it is to see service offers in terms of the benefits they bring to customers. The company was aware of extensive research which had found high levels of confusion among purchasers of mobile phones, with a seemingly infinite permutation of features and prices. With four main networks to choose from, dozens of tariffs and hundreds of handsets, it is easy to see why buyers sought a way of simplifying their buying process. Throughout the 1990s, Della’s had positioned its UK network as superior technically to its competitors. Advertising focused on high coverage rates and call reliability.Della’s was the UK's most popular mobile phone operator, with almost eight million…
