Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

What is Amway:
What does the word Amway mean? Amway is an
abbreviation for "American Way “and was coined
in 1959 by company founders, Jay Van Andel and
Richard Devos. Short, unique and easy to
remember, Amway has been registered as a
corporate name and trademark ever since. In the
following decades, Amway Corporation
successfully established itself as a leading
multilevel marketing business, built on strong
values and founding principles that continue to
sustain our company today. The business is built
on the simple integrity of helping people lead
better lives. Today, Amway is a multibillion-dollar
international business representing freedom and
opportunity to millions of people in more than 88
countries and territories around the world. Amway
offer over 3 million Business Owners the
inspiration to grow those businesses, and to work
hard to provide new and better ways for them to
achieve their life goals.

Introduction:
Amway is a direct selling company that
uses multilevel marketing to sell a variety of
products, primarily in the health, beauty, and home
care markets. Amway was founded in 1959 by Jay
Van Andel and Richard Devos. Based in Ada,
Michigan, the company and family of companies
under Alticor reported sales growth of 9.5%,
reaching US$9.2 billion for the year ending
December 31, 2010. Its product lines include home
care products, personal care products, jewellery,
electronics, Nutrilite dietary supplements, water
purifiers, air purifiers, insurance and cosmetics. In
2004, health and beauty products accounted for
nearly 60% of worldwide sales.
Amway conducts business
through a number of affiliated
companies in more than a
hundred countries and
territories around the
world.Amway was ranked
No.114 among the largest
global retailers by Deloitte in
8. 7
2006,and No.32 among the largest private
companies in the U.S. by Forbes in 2010.
Amway is a business that operates on the basis of
pyramid selling. It is described as a multi-level
marketing scheme in which there are different
levels of sellers. The company originated in
Michigan, and sales of its products hit six billion
US dollars (USD) in 2005.
Products sold by Amway agents range from
jewellery to cosmetics and health care. Amway
also has product lines including dietary
supplements and home care goods. Amway's
sellers are called Independent Business Owners
(IBO), and they are a link in a long chain that
makes up the company.Amway works by
assigning a Points Value (PV) to each of its
products. The PV amount of each product
determines how much commission the seller
makes from the sale. The PV of a given good is the
same regardless of the country it is sold in. The PV
can be thought of as a common Amway currency
used around the world.
9. 8
History:
Founding:
Rich Devos and Jay Van Andel initially founded
the Ja-Ri Corporation, a multi-level marketing
distributorship for Nutrilite
products, in 1949. Ja-Ri was
incorporated in 1959, and
changed its name to
"Amway" in 1963. As of
2007, Amway operates in
more than 80 countries
around the world. In 1999,
the founders of the Amway Corporation launched
a sister Internet-based Company named Quixtar.
The Alticor Corporation owns Amway and
Quixtar, plus several other concerns. Quixtar
replaced the North American business of Amway
in 2001 after the majority of the distributors
moved to Quixtar, with Amway operating in the
rest of the world.
10. 9
International expansion:
Amway expanded overseas to Australia in 1971, to
Europe in 1973, to parts
of Asia in 1974, to Japan
in 1979, to Latin
America in 1985, to
China in 1995, to Africa
in 1997, to India and
Scandinavia in 1998, to
Russia in 2005, and to Vietnam in 2008.Based on
rapid international expansion, strong family
leadership, and good financial condition, Amway
remained a strong force in the 1990s. When Van
Andel and devos, whose children had begun in the
business in the mid-1970s, retired from the
company in the early 1990s, all eight of the Van
Andel and devos children were in leadership
positions. Dick devos was named president in
1992, and Steve Van Andel was appointed
company chairman. Jay Van Andel planned to
remain active with the company as senior
chairman and member of the policy board.
11. 10
Quixtar:
In 1999 the founders of the Amway Corporation
established a new holding company,
named Alticor, and
launched three new
companies: a sister (and
separate) Internet-
focused company
named Quixtar, Access
Business Group, and
Pyxis Innovations. Pyxis, later replaced by Fulton
Innovation, pursued research and development
and Access Business Group handled
manufacturing and logistics for Amway, Quixtar,
and third party clients.
In September 1999, the company
established a new company named Quixtar to sell
consumer products on the Internet. With Quixtar,
Amway used the same marketing concept as it did
in its traditional business: distributors purchased
products at volume discounts and earned
commissions on the sales and bonuses from the
sales of new recruits. Apart from Quixtar's
business being conducted electronically, the

Budget study of Amway in India:
Amway India, the largest direct selling FMCG
company of India and a wholly owned subsidiary
of Amway Corporation, has clocked a turnover of
Rs 2130 crores for the fiscal year 2011 thus
registering a growth of 19% over the previous
fiscal when it recorded a turnover ofRs 1790
crores. Amway India now ranks among the top
FMCG Companies in India - a feat achieved in a

crores back in 1998 to the robust turnover of Rs
2130 crores - Amway India has grown twenty
times. The company aims to cross the Rs 2500
crore mark in 2012.
Announcing the annual turnover, Mr. William S
Pinckney, MD & CEO, Amway India said, "The
double digit growth for the last four years is
buoyed by the launch of world class superior
quality products in the lead categories of Health &
Beauty, increased consumer access strategy
coupled with experiential marketing & brand
awareness, penetration of products in semi urban
and rural markets of the state and the tremendous
effort put by the distributors.
23. 22

24. 23
Objective of Amway:
Objective of the study is to understand the
Amway’s operations in international marketing
with respect to PESTLE analysis, SWOT analysis,
Marketing Mix (Product, Price, Place, Promotion,
Packaging and People) and also we have compared
its operation domestically and internationally. To
understand the former part, the company have
visited Amway India and gathered appropriate
information with regards to project.
Goal setting:
Goal setting ideally involves establishing specific,
measurable, attainable, realistic and time-targeted
objectives. Work on the goal-setting theory
suggests that it can serve as an effective tool for
making progress by ensuring that participants have
a clear awareness of what they must do to achieve
or help achieve an objective.
Short-term goals:
Short-term goals expect accomplishment in a short
period of time, such as trying to get a bill paid in
the next few days. The definition of a short-term
25. 24
goal need not relate to any specific length of time.
In other words, one may achieve (or fail to
achieve) a short-term goal in a day, week, month,
year, etc. The time-frame for a short-term goal
relates to its context in the overall time line that it
is being applied to.
Personal goals:
Individuals can set personal goals. A student may
set a goal of a high mark in an exam. An athlete
might run five miles a day. A traveller might try to
reach a destination-city within three hours.
Financial goals are a common example, to save for
retirement or to save for a purchase.Managing
goals can give returns in all areas of personal life.
Goal setting and planning ("goal work") promotes
long-term vision and short-term motivation. It
focuses intention, desire, acquisition of
knowledge, and helps to organize
resources.Efficient goal work includes recognizing
and resolving all guilt, inner conflict or limiting
belief that might cause one to sabotage one's
efforts. By setting clearly defined goals, one can
subsequently measure and take spride in the
26. 25
achievement of those goals. One can see progress
in what might have seemed a long, perhaps
impossible, grind.
Vision and Values :
The company’s vision is quite simple. Work each and
every day to help people live better lives. Achieve
company’s vision by helping people everywhere
discover their potential and achieve their goals by
offering better brands and opportunities for the
future, and by sharing generously with the global
community. To realize the vision, there are six
enduring values that the business has been built on.
Partnership:
Amway is built on the concept of partnership
between the founders. The partnership that exists
among the founding families, employees, and
business owners is our most prized possession. We
always try to do what is in the long-term best
interest of our partners, in a manner that increases
trust and confidence.
Integrity:
Integrity is essential to our business success. We do
what is right, not just whatever "works." Amway’s
27. 26

Case study:
Canadian tax case
In 1983, Amway pleaded guilty to criminal tax
evasion and customs fraud in Canada, resulting in
a fine of $25 million CAD, the largest fine ever
imposed in Canada at the time. In 1989 the
company settled the outstanding customs duties for
$45 million CAD. In a 1994 interview, Amway co-
founder Rich DeVos stated that this incident had
been his greatest "moral or spiritual challenge",
first in "soul searching as to whether they had done
anything wrong" and then for pleading guilty for
technical reasons, despite believing they were
innocent of the charges. DeVos stated he believed
that the case had been motivated by "political
reasons".
