Findings Analysis [Part 1]
FINDINGS ANALYSIS I have found out my primary information about the idea of 'slim-line kitchen electrical appliances ' by doing a quota sampling, which meant dividing the population into various age groups and backgrounds and carrying out questionnaires. In my results in source 14, which is my questionnaire, the first question shows the gender of the amount of people that help fill in the questionnaire. Out of 150 people that I questioned only 36.6% were males and females a greater percentage of 63.6(%). This shows that on average most of the people I questioned were females. Source 2 also supports this idea as it states that the majority of people living in England are females at 51%. Also the details in source 6 show the gender of people that purchase brown and white goods, the larger percentage goes towards the women at 54%. Also an evidence of this statement that there are more women than men in GB is illustrated in source 2, it shows that in 2003 there were more women than men- and that I think has increased during recent years because source 2 shows that women are at 51% of the population in UK, then source 6 shows women are at 54 and source 14 [the questionnaire] shows they are at 63 percent (you can see that in the chart below that shows these results), and I predict this is going to escalate far more in a years or so time; which means if S and S plc was to choose

MARK WARNER HOLIDAYS LTD MK280 Marketing Applications Hand-In Date: 22nd January 2009 Mark Warner Holidays Aim This marketing report is going to look at the internal and external analysis of Mark Warner Holidays Ltd. It will identify the strengths and weaknesses of the business and look at potential opportunities or remedies for the main problem it may have. Company Background Mark Chitty set up Mark Warner in 1974 as he saw a gap in the market for singles and couples activity holidays. Chitty borrowed the £1000 he needed to secure their first chalet in Verbier, Switzerland and Mark Warner Holidays was founded. It was largely family run as Mark himself took to ski hosting, and his mother dealt with all of the bookings, and organised the cooking and cleaning of the chalet. The following year, Chitty wanted to expand his business into Val D'Isère in France, but needed more money to do this. He called upon his school friend, Andrew Searle, to help with the finances. In 1982, the Mark Warner Summer Programme was introduced with beach holidays and water-sports replacing the chalets and skiing. Mark Warner's philosophy is to combines great locations, good company, friendly staff and a relaxed environment to offer unique holidays. With Chitty and Searle's entrepreneurial skills, the business has developed into 'one of the most highly regarded independent travel companies
Should the Government encourage home ownership?
Should the Government encourage home ownership? With the current economic downfall, high unemployment rates and the economy going into a vicious recession, you'd think that the last thing the government should be concentrating on is pushing "home ownership" rates higher. However, the social advantages in which "home ownership" is good for society certainly appears as one which the government should be backing. Among the benefits of home ownership rather than renting are: Home ownership gives an incentive to invest in their local community. Owners are more likely to vote in local elections and volunteer for social activities. There is also evidence that homeowners have higher "self-esteem and happiness" than renters which has a favourable effect on their productivity at work. However, there are negative effects to "home ownership". From an economic point of view, it's good for those that rent because they are able to move easily to other locations where there might be more work. Homeowners are less likely to move, especially when they can't afford to sell their houses due to the impacts on the housing market from the credit crunch. The reluctance from homeowners keeps unemployment high in struggling areas where business need to attract workers to make the company grow. Nevertheless, home ownership has been critical in the retail economy by stimulating purchases such as

Unit 2 - Developing Customer Service
Unit 2 - Developing Customer Service Introduction Every business has customer service, customer service is a service that provides a service that consistently meets or exceeds customer needs. For examples a company like Sainsburys may offer home delivery service for its customers. I have chosen to investigate Sainsburys; Sainsburys is a supermarket which sells food and drinks; these are the core business activities. They also sell electrical products, clothes, furniture and stationary. The company is a PLC which has many shareholders. The company has branches across the UK. The company has limited liability, this means should the business go into bankruptcy the shareholders will only loose the amount they invested into the business. The company is a large enterprise business which operates on a global scale; they also operate on the internet. These are some of the reason why I chose to investigate Sainsburys; I have chosen Sainsburys because I have had pervious employment with the company and because it is a big company. Areas of Customer Service Provision in Sainsbury Service provision means creating new and/or improving current service to gain more customers. Some of the key customer service provision areas in Sainsburys are the complaints section, online shopping and customer information section.

South Delaware Coors Case Study
South Delaware Coors, INC. Case Study The major issues that Larry Brownlow is being a new owner of a business and operating it efficiently. Secondly there's a core element of readily available cash flow in question. Larry can only spend $15k for the feasibility study assessment. Furthermore Larry has a $500k trust fund established for him in inherited from a deceased relative this trust fund also enables his immediate family to receive an annual income of $40k. The main problems that Larry Brownlow is deciding on is the question of taking an added risk by investing in the pursuit of distributing the Coors product or not invest at all. (Marketing Management, 2007 pg 250) I think the most convenient course of action that Larry Brownlow should take is follow suit with the information given in study (B). The information in study B suggests that Larry should start up a distribution hub in Kent and Sussex County. (Marketing Management, 2007 pg 252) This would help Larry test the waters before distributing more regionally than eventually nationally. This opportunity will help Larry properly determine his target market for his product through different sets of environment. (Marketing Management, 2007 pg 9) In the simplest form here are Larry few alternative options. First Larry can play the numbers game and circumspectly watch the current marketing potential for his
