Manhattan has only a handful of barbershops and salons that The College Cut Bus would have direct competition with. The company will most likely only receive an average share of the market because of all the competition. However, the shops that already exist are overpriced, inaccessible by foot travel and typically unreliable on short notice. The company’s target market will be the students living on and near campus who do not have the time or energy to deal with traditional barber shops in Manhattan. The College Cut Bus will be a more affordable alternative to the traditional shops, while still providing high quality haircuts from certified barbers. The company’s strongest competitive advantage over the other shops is its mobility. The Cut
Thomas Jefferson was a man who believed that all American citizens need to be educated so that they may exercise their rights. He saw public education as essential to a democracy. One proposal he made for public education would guarantee that all children could attend public schools for three years. However, much like other early school reforms, this proposal received much rejection and was never brought into being. Despite this rejection, Jefferson still believed that America needed public education. Eventually, he opened the University of Virginia. Even though his bills and proposals to benefit public education never saw the light of day, he still made many contributions to public education by providing the foundation on how a democracy should handle educating its

After careful consideration I relate more to Dr. Davis M. Buss, known for his evolutionary research on human sex differences in mate selection. Sex differences. Buss posits that men and women have faced different adaptive challenges throughout human history, which shape behavioral difference in males and females today. Example women have to carry the child for nine months and then make it though delivery. Men during pregnancy have thoughts of paternity and having as many children as possible. He also focused on short and long term mating strategies, male and female preference, deception, love, jealousy, and a host of other topics that deal hand and hand with relationships and relationship disputes. I Personally, relate to these theories because
Mary Kay Cosmetics is a company known for providing women with exceptional opportunities for professional achievement and economic success and rewarding women for their success. Mary Kay Cosmetics uses several programs to motivate, recognize, and develop its beauty consultants, which include recognition in a monthly magazine, annual events, gifts and prizes and most importantly, financial incentives. At the heart of the financial incentives Mary Kay provides is the three car programs offered to beauty consultants at different stages of their career. The car programs have proven to be effective motivators; however the costs to the company have skyrocketed as the number of car winners as a percentage of beauty consultants has doubled, despite increases in program qualification requirements. The VIP car program is the main cause of concern for May Kay because of the large number of leased VIP cars, high interest rates and insurance premiums, and large losses on cars in service for short periods of time. Mary Kay's top management is now faced with finding a solution to rising program costs of their powerful incentive plan while maintaining sales force moral and motivation. The key issues that must be considered in finding a solution to the high costs of Mary Kay's Marketing Plan are how beauty consultants will respond to changes in the incentive plan and how implementing the necessary changes will affect the sales force.

The pricing strategy for easyCar was to offer rental cars for the lowest prices in the industry. Prices were updated daily based on demand and location and the lowest prices could only be found if booked well in advance. In order to keep costs down easyCar only rented one type of car at each location and did not work with agents. Almost 95% of all car bookings were made through the company’s website with the others made through a phone reservation system that carried a €0.95 per minute charge. EasyCar’s information system calculated expected demand and enabled the company to achieve a utilization rate above 90 percent; this figure was much higher than industry leader Avis Europe’s utilization rate of 68 percent. To further reduce costs the company enacted stiff penalties for returning the car late and for not cleaning the before returning it to the rental office. Some customers complained that...
