Everyone in the meeting was highly engaged and I used the brainwriting technique and identified the problem statement. Each team member wrote their idea on a sheet of paper and others added to the list. Not only did we find opportunities to improve the bottle and packaging there were additional efficiencies and cost saving opportunities with the liquid. This branwriting session triggered new ideas from the cross functional team and did not stifle divergent thinking. The findings from the…
When a brand becomes predominant in the market others try to emulate the leader (de Chernatony et al. 2011: 353). The competition assumes that their idea or strategy is right, so they imitate it with the goal of improving it- making it better (Reis 2014 11-12). However, better is a difficult concept to communicate to consumers and it does not always work (Reis 2014 11-12). Better, is a perception, as in asking if Coke taste better than Pepsi (Reis 2014 11-12)? The belief that something is better…
In today’s world there are many controversies over what people should drink or eat. One of these are-if people should drink bottled water. It is after all very portable and good in extreme citations. This is a problem though because the bottles are made of plastic which fills our oceans and landfills and takes many years to decompose. Other people say the water is bad for the body, they say the chemicals in the plastic can leach out into the water and ultimately harm you. Lastly most people…
the one bottle of water that you drank today was probably not tested. On the other hand tap water is tested 2-3 times a day. Bottled water is worse than tap water because it's bad for the environment, costs more, and is unsafe to drink. Bottled water is bad for the environment. First of all, "it takes over 1,000 years to bio de-grade a water bottle (Bottle Water Is Wasteful). In 1,000 years the water bottle will finally be decomposed. If you drink tap water you can buy a reusable bottle and…
Also, a bottle of water can sometimes be more expensive than today’s high priced gasoline. “In 2006, manufacturing those billions of bottles required 17 million barrels of oil,” which is enough to supply 250,000 homes with electricity for a year. It could also supply 100,000 cars with gasoline for a year. So if you thought…
getting a glass of refreshing tap water. Turning on a kitchen sink can easily get a glass of water. Also, with tap water, recycling is not needed, when people drink bottled water, according to John Stewart, four billion pounds of empty plastic water bottles are found in landfills and on the sides of roads every year. Saying that, tap water is much better for the environment, with bottled water, plastic gets left all over polluting our nation. Tap water also is much cheaper than bottled water,…
of plastic water bottles! Why get rid of plastic water bottles? Well, because first of all, it is horrible for the environment, and because it is a big scam. We might as well buy electricity in a can for a lot more money. Because that is what plastic water bottles are doing. Trashing the environment First of all it is horrible for the environment. According to “The Story of Bottled Water” it says, in one year just in the U.S we use enough oil and gas to make plastic water bottles to fill up…
(International Bottled Water Association). Nearly everyone drinks bottled water at school, so if it gets banned, then less people will drink water. Some people aren’t comfortable drinking out of the school fountains, so if they forget their water bottle, then they will be left without water for the rest of the school day. Bottled water should not be banned at school because it eliminates drinks with sugar, it's convenient, and it can be recycled. First of all, if bottled water doesn’t get…
effect of bottles on the environment. Whenever bottles get recycled/melted down, they’re releasing a chemical in the air that is bad for the ozone layer. ‘The State of California Department of Conservation notes that burning plastic bottles releases toxic fumes into the atmosphere. The chemicals released from burning bottles poses a health risk to consumers and contributes to the breakdown of the Earth’s ozone layer.’ Stated by Andrew Zaske and Aaron Edland, Osmonics, Inc. Bottles go to…
