Major problems associated with product proliferation include higher production, inventory, and record-keeping costs; increased expenses associated with trade promotions and slotting fees; added consumer confusion and stress; and increased susceptibility to stockouts. This presentation describes how a firm can limit product proliferation without incurring reduced sales or lowering consumer loyalty. An effective product proliferation reduction program needs to be based on several principles: resisting the temptation of asking consumers if a greater assortment is required; classifying goods into consumer behavior-based tiers; using interfunctional product pruning teams; practicing mass customization, where appropriate; placing absolute limits on product choice; and implementing effective strategies for product pruning.
This document discusses costing and pricing strategies for businesses. It defines cost as the amount that must be paid to produce or acquire something.

Global Engagement
The Issue - Business commitment to global operations or support can be key to the
business success or even continued operations. New and existing business must make strategic,
long term, decisions to increase or maintain growth and development of their products and or
services. A product and or service life cycle is based on many factors. Some of these factors
include selecting country relationships, business strategies, and the best strategies to develop low
cost or product differentiation opportunities to expand markets.
The problem – Finding the right product, country, and partner or business associate is
tough. Once a product/service is established and a country is selected the primary objective for
alliance must be decided. The firm’s strategies must also be compatible with a host partner. A
firm must spend the right amount of time investigating, visiting, talking, and collaborating with
potential strategic partners. Once a strategic alliance partner is selected the expectations of each
partner must be maintained. The integrity of the alliance must be a priority for each partner.
Developing expatriate and/or inpatriate manager associations and assignments can cement the
relationship as important and working for each partner. Getting stuck with the wrong partner can
add time, execution complexities, and cost to operations. Managers need to avoid this by
working diligently on this first step. Find the right partner (Taylor, 2015).
How do alliances and strategies meet to form and select the best entry mode and partner
relationships? Identifying the necessary skills and resources is key. Partners can be business and
other investors or business relations with the logistics necessary to buy, store, transport or sell
products that increase revenue above the costs necessary for each operation. Risk assessment and
sharing through partnerships can result in lower cost for required competencies like research an.

Newsletter on PPE: Classification of PPE and CE Certification Process in EUJohn William

However, the European Safety Federation has identified some suspicious CE certificates for both PPE and medical devices. The suppliers have either used fake documents or showed certificates by the wrong authorities.
