March 16, 2012
Published by WDI Publishing, a division of the William Davidson Institute (WDI) at the University of Michigan.
©2012 William Davidson Institute. This case was written by graduate students Allyson Johnson, Courtney Lee, Steven Rippberger, and
Morgane Treanton, under the supervision of Andrew Hoffman, Holcim (US) Professor of Sustainable Enterprise at the Ross School of
Business at the University of Michigan, as the basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling
of an administrative situation.
The greenest product is the one that already exists, because it doesn’t draw on new natural
resources to produce. In partnering with Patagonia, we believe the Common Threads Initiative
helps fulfill our promise to help you make greener, smarter decisions.1
—John Donahoe, CEO of eBay, speaking on the partnership
Chouinard agreed to partner with eBay and launch the revolutionary Common Threads Initiative, which
promoted buying and selling secondhand Patagonia merchandise. Its purpose was to encourage customers to
buy new products only if necessary. eBay created a “Common Threads” marketplace specifically for individuals
to sell their used Patagonia gear. Additionally, Patagonia added a link on its Web site where customers could
buy “Used Clothing and Gear.” The initiative encouraged sellers to become a Common Threads partner by
“taking the pledge” and following the five Rs (see Exhibit 1). From these sales, Patagonia received zero
commission.
When Casey Sheahan, Patagonia’s Chief Executive Officer and President, initially announced the
partnership with eBay there was hesitation among Patagonia employees because they knew it would be
a high-profile partnership. However, soon thereafter employees warmly received the initiative”.2 Over the
course of a year, Patagonia’s e-media and eBay’s sustainability and business teams outlined the concept of
posting Patagonia’s used products for sale on the Patagonia eBay Web site.
Externally the company had signed up about 21,000 pledges by December 2011, a significant amount
considering the initiative was publicly announced in September 2011. Patagonia’s goal was to sign up 50,000
pledges in the first year. Patagonia sold about six thousand products through its Common Threads store
on eBay thus far. More important, the initiative had sparked significant conversation regarding conscious
consumerism, and Patagonia reported receiving inquiries from other companies interested in creating a
similar Web site.
Looking forward, Patagonia and eBay were hoping to integrate a donations program into the Patagonia
eBay Web site where a portion of the proceeds sold on eBay would go to nonprofit organizations. This new

Merger strategy of p&g by dil bahadur yadav
This document summarizes analysts' views on Procter & Gamble's (P&G) acquisition of Gillette. Some analysts saw it as creating the largest consumer products company. Others felt it gave the companies more bargaining power with retailers. P&G's strategy was to strengthen its brand portfolio, cut costs, drive faster sales growth, and gain more power in developing markets where Gillette was stronger. Competitors like Unilever would face pressure to make their own acquisitions to keep up with P&G's new size. The document also outlines some of P&G's social responsibility programs in areas like health, education, and clean water access.

Key Partnerships
Key partnerships are the relationships that a business has with other business entities, government entities, or other entities that help the business model work. These can be the relationships that a business has with suppliers, manufacturers, and business partners, just to mention a few (youtu.be). Businesses usually form partnerships for various reasons. One of the reason is to optimize expenses. The other reason is to mitigate risk and uncertainties. Business entities also form partnerships to acquire unique resources.
Green Drive Logistics will form strategic alliances with manufacturing entities. These entities will be producing a part of our business product that we may not be able to produce. Green Drive Logistics will also form partnerships with its suppliers. We will build reliable relationships with our suppliers while incorporating vital characteristics such as quality, commitment, and trust to ensure a successful business model.
When forming the partnerships, Green Drive Logistics will keep in mind the following factors:
Clear partnership Agreements: We will ensure we have the right partnership agreements drafted as well as legal counsel.
Defining Expectations: Most of the time new entities fail to establish their expectations leading to so much conflict and confusion afterwards (Belyh, 2015). Green Drive Logistics will, therefore, establish its expectations and share them openly with the partners.
Win-Win Situation: We will also ensure that there is a Win-Win situation for the partnerships to be sustainable and healthy.
Impact on the Customers: When forming the partnerships, we will evaluate our value proposition and our key resources and ensure our partners are filling the gaps in either.
Selecting Partnerships: We will also ensure we select the right partnerships. As we all know some partnerships may appear profitable in theory but fail to kick off practically. Additionally, changes in the business context can also make some partnerships irrelevant. In such situations, it is important to terminate these partnerships to avoid further losses and wastage of resources.

1 Assignment:Economic Environment
In 2018 I worked in a soft drinks company where they adopted the recent technology in the production to increase the production rates and the accuracy of the quality of the products. After the introduction of the technology in the company, a large number of people lost their jobs since the tech replaced the labour and was cheaper than the manual production that involved individuals directly. The technological factors are one of the external factors that are increasingly affecting the business organization. The business changes relate to the presence and the development of technology.
The technology increases the supply of the products. The increase in the supply enables the company to keep up with the demand for the soft drinks. The technology enables the company to increase the productivity and the communication between the suppliers and the consumers. The company can cut down the waste as well as keep up with the demands due to technological advancement. The technology also increased the accuracy in production due to the machinery that was more accurate than the human labour and the company was able to cut down the waste again. The company reduced its expenditure in terms of the losses incurred due to poor production.
It is important to consider the environment while thinking about the strategy change. The supply and demand within the business affect organizational ability. The demand and the supply stimulate each other impacting the prices of the goods and services in the budget. The customer's interest in specific products exhausts the supply available and increases demand. The demand and supply of goods and services have a high influence in determining the prices of goods and services. The prices of the product are likely to fall if the supply keeps on growing and if the supply keeps on decreasing the prices are likely to keep on growing (Becker, 2017). However, with the market economy, the interest consumers, as well as the companies, produce limits product that matches the demand and the supply and it is used in determining the product development and production.

1 Assignment:Economic Environment
In 2018 I worked in a soft drinks company where they adopted the recent technology in the production to increase the production rates and the accuracy of the quality of the products. After the introduction of the technology in the company, a large number of people lost their jobs since the tech replaced the labour and was cheaper than the manual production that involved individuals directly. The technological factors are one of the external factors that are increasingly affecting the business organization. The business changes relate to the presence and the development of technology.
The technology increases the supply of the products. The increase in the supply enables the company to keep up with the demand for the soft drinks. The technology enables the company to increase the productivity and the communication between the suppliers and the consumers. The company can cut down the waste as well as keep up with the demands due to technological advancement. The technology also increased the accuracy in production due to the machinery that was more accurate than the human labour and the company was able to cut down the waste again. The company reduced its expenditure in terms of the losses incurred due to poor production.
It is important to consider the environment while thinking about the strategy change. The supply and demand within the business affect organizational ability. The demand and the supply stimulate each other impacting the prices of the goods and services in the budget. The customer's interest in specific products exhausts the supply available and increases demand. The demand and supply of goods and services have a high influence in determining the prices of goods and services. The prices of the product are likely to fall if the supply keeps on growing and if the supply keeps on decreasing the prices are likely to keep on growing (Becker, 2017). However, with the market economy, the interest consumers, as well as the companies, produce limits product that matches the demand and the supply and it is used in determining the product development and production.

and others are discovering. The trend is a growing number of organizations
clicking their heels and bringing overseas operations back to the U.S. According
to Harold Sirkin, a senior partner from the Boston Consulting Group®, in the
upcoming years 20 to 25 percent of products that were sent offshore will
eventually return to the United States.1 Even more telling, research shows that
more than half of executives at manufacturing companies with sales exceeding
$1 billion either plan to, or are thinking about, bringing overseas operations
back to the United States from China. Since 2012, there’s been roughly a 15
percent increase in companies that return to the U.S.

Darden school of business elective encourages entrepreneurship
- 1. By Bill Gray Ogilvy
- 2. Businessman Bill Gray formerly served as the co-CEO of Ogilvy Group North America and sat on the board of Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide. Bill Gray prepared for his career at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business, where he earned a master of business administration.
- 3. Since today’s business world focuses heavily on entrepreneurship and innovation, Darden created an elective for business students that allows them to explore a potential product and create a prototype, which they present in front of the school at the Product and Service Design Fair.
- 4. This past fall, 30 teams participated in the fair, comprising the largest cohort to date. The increase in numbers points to a rising interest in exploring entrepreneurship among graduate-level business students. Teams this year tackled a wide range of problems with their prototypes. One of the projects involved the creation of a sustainable, transportable energy generator for use during camping trips that uses running water as an energy source. Another team created a new type of leash for dogs that implemented a lasso-like design with a mechanism that stops the leash from becoming too tight. A third team created a new type of clothing for babies that fits them more snugly than rigid onesies.
