Pension longevity risk
The document discusses how longevity risk poses challenges for pension plans due to rising life expectancies in the US. It notes that recent updates to life expectancy data by organizations like the OECD and Society of Actuaries show Americans are living 2-4 years longer than previously estimated. This increase in longevity could raise pension liabilities and required contributions significantly, posing risks for companies with large underfunded pension obligations like IBM, Caterpillar, Dow, and Air Products. The document screens these companies and others in the S&P 500 to analyze potential financial impacts of higher pension costs if lifespans continue increasing.

Chap 19, question 5
Factors that affect the rate of diffusion and adoption of new products and services include an individual's readiness to try new things and personal influences from their social system, characteristics of the new innovation itself and how quickly or slowly it gains acceptance, and an organization's environment, characteristics, administrators, and openness to change.
Chap 19, question 4
The main stages in developing new products and services are: idea screening to evaluate new product concepts, concept testing to get customer feedback, product development to design and manufacture the product, test marketing in a limited market to predict sales, and national launch for full commercial release.
Chap 19, question 3
The document describes the stage-gate system as the best way to manage the new product development process. It breaks the process down into 8 stages with a gate or checkpoint at the end of each stage. The stages include idea generation, idea screening, concept development and testing, marketing strategy development, business analysis, product development, market testing, and commercialization, with each gate determining if the project is worth continuing on to the next stage.
Chap 19, question 2
Most companies use cross-functional teams or stage-gate systems to oversee new product development. Cross-functional teams bring together different departments to collaboratively develop and launch new products. Stage-gate systems divide the process into stages with checkpoints, acting like a funnel to narrow an initial pool of ideas down to a smaller number of high-potential products that are launched.
Chap 19, question 1
A company faces several challenges in developing new products and services including high development costs, a shortage of ideas in some areas, social, economic, and governmental constraints, and capital shortages. However, new techniques and strategic partnerships can help shorten required development time while organizational support is enormously needed.

UnME Jeans brand manager Foley was struggling to justify her traditional media spending. She asked her agency to investigate emerging social media options. The agency suggested Facebook, YouTube, and virtual goods in Zwinktopia. Foley believed these could foster constructive brand dialog compared to traditional "talking at" consumers. The agency provided budgets and comparisons of each plan. Foley ultimately decided a short YouTube campaign targeting teen girls could be effective if videos were high quality and short duration, but growth was limited.
