The document discusses feedback from a questionnaire given to participants about a magazine pitch called WAVES. The questionnaire asked about preferences for genre of music, price, and magazine style. Most respondents preferred indie pop rock music, prices between £4-6, and a minimal magazine style. The feedback will help the creator finalize WAVES magazine to match the intended indie pop genre.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

From doing this questionnaire I am able to make some
conclusive decisions able my magazine and how it is
interpreted to other people so I can get a clear idea of what

clearer in order to attach the intended audience with the
intended genre of music being shown throughout WAVES
magazine.

when it comes to finalising my magazine I am able
incorporated into the magazine indirectly so it is matches
the Indie pop genre I am going for.
