- Part 2: Please read the following scenarios. For each scenario, identify the confound and suggest how it might be removed in a follow-up experiment. The Pepsi-Cola Company conducted the "Pepsi Challenge" by randomly assigning individuals to taste either a Pepsi or a Coke. The researchers labeled the glasses with only an "M" (Pepsi) or a "Q" (Coke) and asked the participants to indicate which they preferred. The research showed that subjects overwhelmingly preferred glass "M" over glass "Q." Why can’t the researchers conclude that Pepsi was preferred to Coke?arrow_forwardJOHNSON & JOHNSON'S DILEMMA In 1982, seven people in Chicago died after taking Tylenol due to unknown suspect lacing the capsules with cyanide after the products reached the shelves. Tylenol is a drug used to treat mild to moderate pain (from headaches, menstrual periods, toothaches, backaches, osteoarthritis, or cold/flu aches and pain) and to reduce fever. In the immediate aftermath, Tylenol's commanding 37% market share dropped to just 7% nationwide, despite the problem being contained to the Chicago area. Tylenol was not responsible for the tampering of the product but its manufacturer, Johnson & Johnson, had to do something to maintain the product's reputation. QUESTIONS: 1. What is the first thing Johnson & Johnson should do to save the brand's reputation? 2. Should the company continue to sell Tylenol? Why or why not? 3. If Johnson and Johnson decide on selling the product to the market again, what should it do to successfully reintroduce it? 4. How…arrow_forwardJOHNSON & JOHNSON'S DILEMMA In 1982, seven people in Chicago died after taking Tylenol due to unknown suspect lacing the capsules with cyanide after the products reached the shelves.

- You are a marketing manager for a food products company, considering the introduction of a new brand of organic salad dressings. You need to develop a marketing plan for the salad dressings in which you must decide whether you will have a gradual introduction of the salad dressings (with only a few different salad dressings introduced to the market) or a concentrated introduction of the salad dressings (in which a full line of salad dressings will be introduced to the market). You estimate that if there is a low demand for the salad dressings, your first year’s profit will be $1 million for a gradual introduction and million (a loss of $5 million) for a concentrated introduction. If there is high demand, you estimate that your first year’s profit will be $4 million for a gradual introduction and $10 million for a concentrated introduction. The payoff table for the organic salad dressings marketing is given as follows: Low Demand High Demand Gradual 1 4…arrow_forwardYou are a marketing manager for a food products company, considering the introduction of a new brand of organic salad dressings.
