Suppliers want Cadburys to carry on buying their products to keep them in business and to earn profits from them. Cadburys can conflict with the suppliers because they might not want their product being part of them anymore, because they might have found another supplier that gives them more ingredients for less money. The suppliers could persuade Cadburys to keep them using there ingredients by, saying that they will increase the amount of ingredients they give them every month, so they get twice as much to make more profits. Cadbury’s are also a fair trade supplier.

My results told me that there is always a way to improve a shop which provide internet and coffee. I need to change some aspects of the shop to cater for my potential customers. The most impressive way in which I conducted my market research was questionnaires.

This will help to decide on a price that will benefit my business profitably and also satisfy the customers.

Mail in the work environment often offers administrative services, and ways we can highlight the different services are by seeing them as either internal or external services. Incoming mail (mail coming to the company), is often dealt with at 4Social Work (a smaller organisation) by the administrators, rather than a large postal room in larger organisations. Internal mail is slightly different as it still is still addressed to the company, however it is mail from one worker to another, who may be in different locations (different region or country). For instance, a pay slip or p60. Incoming mail will include: courier companies and the post office delivering mail, faxes and hand delivered mail. Outgoing mail can either be internal or external.
The Taylormade advertisement says “M1 is played by more tour players worldwide than any other driver,” but this statement is only meaningful to the consumer if there is proof. The top players in the world test just about every golf club company to find out which one suits their game the best. They can do this because of their sponsorships and more time to test, but the average person doesn’t have sponsorships or lots of time to test clubs. Due to this, Taylormade, in the advertisement “There’s M And There’s Them”, made it possible for the average person to know which companies Taylormade is better than and by showing a very well-known golfer using the club with confidence (4-5).
To Justify why use mass media like Radio and billboards. Being in Poland for a summer vacation taught me a thing or two about business. One would learn about KFC by radio plus street advertisements and billboards, ads on buses, train stations, and parks. With everyone walking and taking public transportation, radio, billboards, and flyers will prove to be the best delivery method in this country. With smartphones, technology is the way to deliver promotional offers to the consumers. Our research will show finding people at train stations that walk around are bound to see billboards and especially leaflets. Leaflets and smartphone apps will be the best methods to reach the consumer that is constantly on the go
For vacancies to occur in Timberland, there has to be some loss in employees or expansion of the business, which isn't too uncommon as they have a high turnover rate. Be it long term sickness, retirement, transfer, or a termination of contract, if people were to leave Timberland, more opportunities such as vacancies will be created.

Since this is my first DBA class taken at Columbia Southern University (CSU), I wanted to make sure that I schedule enough time so that I could devote my energies towards accomplishing the goal of acing this course. As with most students at CSU, I have to balance my time between work, my family and the DBA Course. Levin (2007) proposes that “Time Management” is a misnomer, because a person cannot “Manage Time”; time is fluid and inherently cannot be managed. Levin (2007) then goes on to bring up the idea of not managing time, but rather come up with a plan and make sure that you plan ahead so that you may obtain your desired goals. Therefore, I started to plan my schedule by first writing down, on a piece of paper the existing personal
Stakeholders are those groups or individual in society that have a direct interest in the performance and activities of business. The main stakeholders are employees, shareholders, customers, suppliers, financiers and the local community. Stakeholders may not hold any formal authority over the organization, but theorists such as Professor Charles Handy believe that a firm’s best long-term interests are served by paying close attention to the needs of each of these stakeholders. The modern view is that a firm has responsibilities to all its stakeholders i.e. everyone with a legitimate interest in the company. These include shareholders, competitors, government, employees, directors, distributors, customers, sub-contractors, pressure groups and local community. Although a company’s directors owes a legal duty to the shareholders, they also have moral responsibilities to other stakeholder group’s objectives in their entirely. As a firm can’t meet all stakeholders’ objectives in their entirety, they have to compromise. A company should try to serve the needs of these groups or individuals, but whilst some needs are common, other needs conflict. By the development of this second runway, the public and stakeholders are affected in one or other way and it can be positive and negative.

The consumers need to be satisfied by receiving healthy products for consumption. Competitiveness of the company will be effective after considering the employment factors and consideration. Research shows that companies that pay well have good returns simply because the competitiveness is very high. Workers put their efforts in meeting the company’s goals and objectives (Mattson, 2005). They observe due care in the production process and negligence is never part of their operation because they will always want to secure a well-paying
JLP, especially Waitrose, own a great proportion of own-branded products, which make it to not rely heavily on suppliers (Howie, 2015). By working with many suppliers including both third parties and own partners around the world, JLP has lower switching cost in shifting suppliers (John Lewis Partnership, 2015a). For supplier, they can enjoy the benefits of the huge turnover and large customer base of JLP, and the long-term partnership and competitive price provided by JLP will also bring them more profit (John Lewis Partnership, 2015a). On the other hand, it costs a lot to switch the existing retailers to sell their product, especially when they are accustomed to the stores (Matsa, 2011). And all of these will decrease their negotiating
