How brands propel business strategy forwardGeeta Sundaram
This presentation encapsulates my thoughts expressed in two of my recent blog posts on why brand-building needs to move beyond marketing and into the corporate sphere.
Here, I explore and explain how brands are driven by business strategy. How they also add back to the corporate brand to take business strategy forward into new growth areas. With examples of GE, Sony and Pernod Ricard to illustrate my thinking.

[Project] Retail Management Report Brands Versus Private Labels- Fighting to WinBiswadeep Ghosh Hazra
INTRODUCTION-
Private label brands are on the rise right now everywhere in the world and command a higher unit share than the strongest of national brands in 77 out of 250 product supermarket categories which is an astonishing 31% and even in 100 of those categories, Private Label comes a close second or third position. However, manufacturers do not realize that sales of private labels sales vary with the economic conditions of the country they are operating in. Their share goes up when the economy is suffering and tanks in stronger growth periods.
The proof of this claim is evident from the following fact- During the last 20 years, Private Label share of markets has averaged out at a decent 14% of the U.S dollar supermarket sales. This share was 17% during 1981-82 at the peak of the recession and in the year 1994, this share dropped to 14.8% despite receiving media adulation. Private labels have managed to pressurize strong national and international brands but brands must also assess the threats that are possible from private labels and whether they will decline or mature in the future.
European Markets have seen quite success with Private Label Brands and compared to USA supermarkets which has only 15% of their sales come from Private Label Brands, European supermarkets has 54% of their sales from PLBs. This is because in Europe, the television markets are highly regulated and hence advertising is limited. Also, grocery chains dominate the entire European landscape and hence retailers hold more power in relation to manufacturers than in the United States of America.

1Company Overview Walmart Inc is an American multinatMargaritoWhitt221
1
Company Overview
Walmart Inc is an American multinational retail company. It has its headquarters
in Bentonville, Arkansas. The company has 11,510 stores and clubs in 27 countries.
According to the fortune 500 lists, Walmart is the largest company in terms of revenue
and the largest private employer globally. Walmart's objective is to provide safe,
affordable food and other products to people worldwide (Ellickson, 2016). It aims at
achieving the objective in a way that fosters environmental and social sustainability,
economic opportunity, and creating value for the community.
Walmart Inc provides retail services as its primary product. The company also
offers private-label brands, on-demand digital streaming services as well as house
brands. Some of the products that are sold in its retail business include foodstuffs,
mobile phones, electronics, beauty products, household items, among others.
Although the company's international sales dropped in 2020, they accounted for
almost 25% of its revenue. The company had net sales of $120.1 billion
internationally in 2020. That represents the sales that were made in its operations
outside the US. That was a slight drop from 2019 that can be attributed to the world's
economic condition in 2020 (Walmart Inc, 2020).
The company has some strengths. One of its main strengths is its immense size,
which leads to economies of scale. The company can also access a lot of funds, thus
growing at a faster rate. The company also has an efficient supply chain enhanced by
technological advancement. That ensures that Walmart evades the market risks such
as disruption of the supply chain, thus giving the company a competitive advantage.
2
The company also has some weaknesses. The company uses a cost leadership
strategy, which is easy to imitate. Additionally, the company earns very thin profits
from the products that it sells. The company also lacks other specific competitive
differentiators apart from its organizational size and low prices. Thus, it cannot
compete with retailers that promote the quality of their goods and services.
The company has various opportunities for growth and improvement. It has the
opportunity of expanding to developing countries. That is because the cheaper goods
have a higher demand in developing countries. The company also can improve its
human resource practices by employing highly qualified employees and training the
existing employees.
Lastly, the company faces some threats. People are turning into healthy
lifestyles, and most of Walmart's foods are categorized as unhealthy. The company
also faces a threat of competition from both big and small retailers.
Competitive Analysis
One of the main competitors of Walmart in the global market is Carrefour. In this
section, the comparison of the two companies will be analyzed. Both companies are
retailers. Therefore, they sell a variety of goods in their retail ...

KORRA DANCEWEAR
Student name: Jue OuYang
Student ID: 250826923
Date: 21 / 11 / 2014
Instructor: Danny Morrison
Section number: KUC 572
Executive summary:
The report is written for helping company Korra dancewear get into the market and raise its sales volume.
It includes the recommendations on how to improve its position in the market. The company is strongly recommended to keep the quality with a lower price than its competitors to get a market share from the market targeting competitive dancers; meanwhile, the company would develop two special product lines for children and senior female dancers with a special design. Using the mixed selling and promoting methods through the internet and real world events and stores is another recommendation for increasing the volume of sales and recognition. In addition, multi-financed financial structure is also helpful to keep the stability of the firm and to increase the potentials of successfully expanding its market share.
Moreover, the competitiveness of the company would be built up by its concentration on details. Not only because the company would set its product line for three different customer groups, but also because the new favor the company would add to the industry, such as the personal customized color choices offering on its webpage. In the meantime, its segmentation and the choices made to find the niche market are based on the thorough analysis on tracing customer shopping habits and foreseeing the potential trend in the future. In the perspective of its management, the company would continuously improve its performance as the team gets better. That being said, it is firmly convincing that the company would be considerably competitive in the future.
All in all, the company would get into the market and make the profit when it fully applies the suggestions on its marketing operations.
Introduction:
The major marketing challenge for this company is how to get a position in this dance wear market as a start-up company without a high recognition in the industry; on the other hand, this marketing report is written to analyze the situation the company is in and to give the applicable suggestions to the owner of the company, in order to achieve the owner’s goal on monthly revenue from making a better decision on the expansion. In summary, the report consists of internal & external analysis, the market target and its 4 Ps analysis, the analysis on its financial feasibility, and the executive summary.
Internal analysis:
Operation:
The company was solely operated by the owner of the company. On the one hand, it saved as much as possible on cost for the company; on the other hand, the company was not run efficiently. In the perspective of the volume of the business, the company was a start-up company with a $1,500 sales for 3-year period from 2010 to 2013. Should it continue being operated in this way, the company would be in a tro ...

Company Description and SWOT Analysis
Company Name and Significance
The name of my Non- alcoholic beverage (NAB) company is WeFit Diet Drinks. This company deals with the production and the manufacturing of the non-alcoholic beverages that have zero calories content.

· The gross margin dropped so much in the first few years that is has just now recovered to its original percentage.
· Allstar’s sale force is large relative to competitors. Likely to be unnecessary due to the market dominance of Allstar’s products.
· The cost of goods sold is significantly higher than Allstar’s closest competitor, B & B.
· Allstar’s net income is significantly lower than B & B’s
· Allround+ trails Besthelp+ in every channel.
· Allround’s sales have dropped consistently over time to the point of matching Besthelp.
OPPORTUNITIES:
· Convenience stores’ growth is currently at 25.9%. Allstar’s focus on grocery stores may need to alter in order to capitalize on the growing convenient store market.
· Retail sales unceasingly increase by ~6%. A focus on retail and away from mass merchants could be beneficial.
· The trend among competitors is limited or no alcohol in products. An alcohol-free brand reformulation may be due.
· There are no 12-hour multi-liquid products on the market. A reformulation or brand extension into this market should be evaluated.
· Allright continues to be the only non-drowsy 4-hour capsule on the market. An expansion into a 12-hour non-drowsy capsule should be researched.

Strengths
· Our brand formulation covers a variety of fields with our diverse use of ingredients, no other brand compares.
· Having the highest brand awareness, trials, frequency of purchases, and conversion ratio plays to our advantage as the top dog in the market.
· Through our brands recognition, effectiveness, and loyalty in the market we are able to control the price of our products more freely allowing us to out compete our rivals and maintain price leadership (in controlling cost of medication without fear of hurting our profits). Good list of Strengths. -0 pts.
Weaknesses
· Alcohol Based product denies some markets (children, young families).
· Our retention ratio is lower than desired – we need to establish a stronger and more reliable following.
· Lack of direction in advertising at the moment – we have only recognized our rivals we have not decided what we will do as a company whether it be spread consumer awareness more, push or pull strategy, etc.
· Unsure if we will stick with BMW or go to S&R or LLC for our advertising agencies.
Good list of Weaknesses. -0 pts.
Opportunities
· We can possibly take the alcohol aspect out of our formula so that it is more family friendly and people can take it during the day without worrying about becoming drowsy.
· Changing our formula to a capsule brand over a liquid for easy travel.
· Cold medication has seen the largest growth in market share at 6.6% so we should capitalize on pushing an intensive marketing strategy to bring in the most profit. In other words, we do not necessarily have to focus on other markets except cold medication.
Threats
· Besthelp controls the second largest share in cold medication (they use a 4 hour capsule strategy – more on the go friendly).
· B&B as a company covers multiple markets in allergy and cold while Allstar Brand (us) only cover multi-symptom cold. Our market is not necessarily narrow but it is not as specified or broad as some of the other competitors.
· Ethik Incorporated may be one of the biggest threats overlooked in terms of market shares because they have stakes in three markets and may be looking to expand further into ours.
1)
The 3rd Opportunity in the SWOT analysis is written correctly from an external, market perspective. The other two are written from an internal perspective, but should be re-written to show how the market is providing opportunities.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
