    For an example, in Massachusetts, the ratio of Dunkin Donuts to Starbucks stores is 10:1. For every ten Dunkins there is one Starbucks. The location is a really important factor in the business because if you have one close to you, you’re more likely to go to the closer shop rather than one that is farther away. Also most Dunkin Donuts stores open earlier than Starbucks, depending on their locations, which can be more convenient for people who go to work earlier. Dunkin Donuts is a greater coffee shop overall, but that’s not all of it’s…

    Marketing will help you determine your prices, how to promote your new product and how to sell your product in the market (Sawyers, R., Jackson, S., & Jenkins, G. J, 2012). I, personally, think that marketing is the most important tool for any new product line. In order to get your product to sell, you have to market your product. Having good marking skills is very important. Marking brings exposure to your product, and without the proper exposure, your product will not sell. Lastly, there has to be good decision making. Poor decision making can cause your vision to fail. "Decision making is the process of identifying alternative courses of action and selecting an appropriate alternative in a given decision-making situation" (Sawyers, R., Jackson, S., & Jenkins, G. J, 2012, p. 9). It is very important to make the best decision that can have a positive monetary impact on your new…

    Walmart, may be good for the rich since they will not be affected by these lower scale jobs but it can have a detrimental affect on the community. As mentioned by Fowler in Business News Daily, “‘We know now the true economic impact a Walmart store has on a neighborhood when it moves in. "Fowler, who conducted the research for Puget Sound Sage, said, " ‘The research shows that the negative impact is due to the use of the Walmart business model. A new 'generic ' grocery store does not equal economic harm, but a new Walmart does.”’ (Mielach, 2012). As a reader, the culture of a small community is very import because that’s what bonds a small community together, through festival and farmer’s markets and social gatherings. If you take this away from small communities, it creates more isolation than inclusion because often these small communities can not compete with the prices of Walmart and also these events bring out the community. The only way to continue these events is to make cuts in employee’s wages and the amount of workers. Parmar mentions that “employees of the competition may find themselves working for less at Walmart.” (Parmar, 2016). That may be true, but the real problem is affect on the culture of community and direct result of Walmart’s presence. Parmar does make a valid point that people may lose their jobs, but fails to mention…

    There are a variety of skills required to develop a marketing plan. An understanding of the aim the marketing plan is to achieve and the planning and documentation skills to create and completed the marketing plan. Customer needs analysis is also needed, as the plan relies heavily on what the customer really needs and how the product/service is going to meet those needs and adds value. Creative writing skills if this part is being done by the same person. This would entail aspects like the catch phrase if there is one and the quick sales pitch, as outlined in Principles of Marketing (n.d.), this is called the 30sec elevator speech. Comparison analysis, this can cover multiple areas, in the area of competitors, product/service specifications, target markets and demographics, pricing comparisons. Research is also needed to gather information and this needs to be relevant information. Realistic viewpoint is also critical. A realistic view of what the information from data is really about, realistic views of the company itself and it's brand and products and services and even customer feedback. Personally I have seen people in companies get emotional and take unrealistic views especially of the company's products and competition, i.e. view the competition in a negative light and this can be damaging and result in poor planning. Budgetary skills to work within financial means. Strategic view and planning that is both functional…

    People that are fortunate enough to be in such a position loose track of the fact that virtually every decision they make impacts someone. For example, through out the documentary “Walmart: The High Cost of Low Prices” the viewer sees how the decisions of those higher up trickle down and affect many even outside of the company. During the film the ways in which small towns have to evolve when Wal Mart 's come to town is discussed.

While owning a business and certainly being a businessman, the lyrics refer fact that his name, along with his image is a business in its self. While I myself am not a famous rapper or a big time hip-hop mogul, I still see myself as a business.
