Success for a business with an Internet presence is seen as moving more customers further through the conversion funnel, and this can be measured with multiple analytic tools and other processes. The business that I will refer to is Buffalo Wild Wings and how the Internet presence from them will boost sales and consumer confidence.

The key performance indicator here is the click path, and through recognition and analysis, the firm can focus on displaying content that is known to generate consumer interest in product information. Secondly, to lead to completing the goal of increasing mobile sales, the firm can focus on the conversion rate on the site through better organization in the order process, easier payment methods, and offering deals exclusive to the website. So, the last method would be detrimental to the order value, however, focusing on the conversion rate by offering deals exclusive to the site will give the firm an edge because consumers will be familiar to the site and may return to make another purchase, which will better lead to the goal of increased mobile sales. In order to further implement success on the website, the firm must constantly track consumer traffic, analyze key data, and optimize the site to better suit consumer needs, (Foster, n.d). Thirdly, the firm will want to determine the percentage of visitors that return to its site to determine the effectiveness of the overall process and determine the

In the year 1946 Truett Cathy opened his first restaurant the Dwarf Grill in Hapeville, Georgia. A few years later the restaurant would undergo a name change to the Dwarf House. The Dwarf House got its name from the size of its door and how customers were treated, since it was a family run business everyone was treated like family. This fine establishment was credited with creating Chick-fil-A’s original chicken sandwich. The story behind this accreditation is that Mr. Cathy himself had ordered chicken breast for the Dwarf House but he deemed them too big to be served as airline food. A few years later in 1964 Cathy founded the restaurant that we all know today as Chick-fil-A. This new restaurant steadily started to make a significant impact on the fast food industry and it continues each and every year. For example, as of today Chick-fil-A stretches across at least 42 states with approximately 1900 restaurants. In 2014 Chick-fil-A numbers came up shorter than projected and this was because Truett and his son Dan Cathy (CEO of Chick-fil-A) took a public stance on the whole equal rights discussion. They were against it because of their Southern Baptist background, the two decided not to condone business with those of the LGBT community. The LGBT community decided to respond
In today’s telecommunication market there is a lot of competition by industry giants such as Sprint, MCI, and AOL, but simultaneously the very high cost involved with entering and competing in this industry also makes it very unattractive for new entrants. These are just some of the big names who are planning to and are presently providing parts of the pipe dream that AT&T seems to seek. In this industry it is very important to have customer awareness of the line of products you carry. Most of the public hears the name AT&T or Sprint or MCI and they think telephone bills but many consumers do not realize that these companies have expanded their field of services from cellular phones to wireless web services.

The case of Burger King Corporation v. Rudzewicz, 471 U.S. 462, 105 S. Ct. 2174, 85 L. Ed. 2d 528 (1985) addressed the issue of personal jurisdiction and whether or not it violates the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The plaintiff, Burger King, is a Florida corporation whose principal offices are located in Miami. The defendant, John Rudzewicz, was a resident of Michigan and a principal of a Michigan franchise. Rudzewicz, as a franchisee owner, had been given a license to use Burger King’s name and logo (trademarks) to operate a Burger King in Michigan. The contract between the franchisor and franchisee stated that the franchisor relationship (contract) is under the control of Florida. Other provisions of the contract include required monthly payments of fees and royalties to Miami headquarters, and all major decisions and problems had to be communicated with headquarters. In addition, the franchisee had to conduct business at a leased restaurant facility for 20 years. However, the defendant failed to fulfill franchisee obligations by not keeping up with his monthly payments of fees and royalties that he owed to Burger King in Florida. As a result, Burger King sued for a diversity suit against Rudzewicz in an effort to get back the money that they were owed. Burger King claimed a breach of contract, specifically the “Franchise Agreement”, between Burger King (the franchisor) and Rudzewicz (the franchisee). The case eventually made it all the way to the United States Supreme Court (Case Briefs).
