promote fair competition for benefit of consumers.” The US has 3 major laws concerning anti-trust regulations: The Sherman Anti-Trust Act, The Clayton Act, and The Federal Trade Commission Act.

EAS defines attitudes as “ the way a person feels towards an object.” Pret’s consumer attitude is “ high achievers, have to work hard, success is their main focus, healthy and care about appearances, experiences, mature, thinkers meaning that they have to think of the next big thing, urban professional and time starved.” Pret understands their market niche are the consumers “who are aware of nutrition and are looking…

and need to be examined carefully. Businesses are highly susceptible to the claims of product liability because their products must be safe for consumer usage, creating the structure of a successful market system. This market works because businesses can compete for market share with the consumers through product quality, but it also fails because consumers go after them on false allegations because they see an infinite gold mine of compensatory damages. If a business creates a product with a…

Naturally, people do not stop to think about the backgrounds of the items in their refrigerator, how they originate, or what can be learned about each of them. Most people tend to grab food out of the fridge and gobble it down without giving a second thought as to how it wound up there in the first place. We are all guilty of it; I myself cannot recall any time where I have selected something from my fridge and speculated on that item before shoveling it greedily into my face. A few nights ago,…

The Cross-Price Elasticity of Demand measures the rate of response of quantity demanded of one good, due to a price change of another good. If two goods are substitutes, we should expect to see consumers purchase more of one good when the price of its substitute increases. Last September, CVS was the 1st major pharmacy chain in America to stop selling tobacco products in their stores. While the prescription sales at CVS continue to rise, the general merchandise that they sell fell nearly 8% last…

(Heakel, 2015). Elasticity is measured by dividing the percentage of change of quantity by the percentage of change in price (Colander, 2013). The Law of Demand says that when the price of a good increases, the quantity decreases. In that instance, consumers will search for a substitute for that good. A substitute is a good that can be used as an alternative to a previously purchased good that has undergone a significant price increase (Colander, 2013). A firm 's ability to produce a…

If a brand excels at delivering benefits, then it was successful at uncovering unmet consumer needs and wants (Kotler, 2012). Fireball created the buzz around the cinnamon whisky category and not only made an impact on the whiskey category as a whole, but on the industry outselling leading brands. Due to the instant success of making waves in the market, after rebranding, I would give Fireball a grade of A in this category. Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Fire was launched following the success of…

products, but instead they change share earnings and marketing schemes, or forfeit altogether. Price elasticity of demand can also be related back to consumer surplus. If demand were to stay the same, even a slight decrease or increase in the price at which a good is sold would significantly impact consumer surplus. Decreasing the price would increase consumer surplus, but it would also decrease producer surplus (proving price decreases to be inefficient for producers, especially at a time where…

none of the P6 criteria and still be turned into a P6 product. Additionally, the creators of the P6 idea and logo also profit – not just the farmers or the local Co-op. While the campaign serves the interests of local and fair trade farmers, and consumers, it also serves the interests of the managers of the P6 brand. P6 is a brand that’s run out of an office. Someone manages the website, keeps the news updated, and does outreach to bring more co-ops into the program. As such, it keeps at least a…
