    The suggested solution to the pollution caused by current adhesive material is to replace it with organic water-based adhesives. It is also suggested that the current application methods of applying adhesive materials be re-evaluated to reduce the amount used and minimize costs. Rolando (2010) suggested that using less adhesive, either through a superior product technology or an improved manufacturing technique, will prove beneficial for the environment. Rolando also mentioned that the adhesive industry is ahead of the green curve in terms of recyclability, environmental impact, and reducing volatile organic compounds. Roland concluded by stating "Adhesives have the capacity to far outreach the surfaces to which they are bonding. Therefore, a small 5% cutback in the amount can be easily attained" (Rolando, 2010,…

    Cigarette companies have recently introduced a new product often referred to as “electronic cigarettes.” Though in its early stages and only claiming a small percent of the market in comparison to combustible cigarettes, this new product has certainly caught the attention of the market “overnight.” So what is it about these new cigarettes that have caused them to become so popular? Electronic cigarettes are very similar to personal vaporizers. Though they do not contain tobacco, they do contain the nicotine found in tobacco plants. When inhaled, a heating element atomizes a liquid solution causing an aerosol “vapor” to be emitted from the end resembling smoke. Thicker smoke emitting versions have become more popular, as it seems that feature is the most attractive and appealing feature of the e-cig.…

Companies of the products trick consumers by claiming the products are safe, and offer lower prices as a way to reel in their customers.

Additional legislation should be put in place, to decrease the use and availability of electronic cigarettes.…

The release of the combustion of the liquid nicotine creates a vapor…

    Executive Summary With the introduction of a unique low-cost adhesive dispensing product named as Bond-A-Matic (BAM), Loctite Inc is seeking to resolve dispensing issues such as clogging in smaller adhesive bottles. As a leader in development of high-performance adhesives and sealants for industrial and consumer applications, Loctite has a mission to become the premiere worldwide marketer of instant adhesives for industrial use by 1985. By increasing product awareness & brand recognition for Super Bonder, a CA adhesive product line, Loctite has improved sales revenue in 1978 over the previous year’s sales. With the idea of complementing Super Bonder, Loctite is hoping to expand adhesive dispensing equipment sales by introducing this new product. Bond-aMatic will be positioned as the low cost dispensing equipment for Super Bonder adhesive users. Situation Analysis CA sales were increasing at a rate of about 20% annually (twice the total adhesive market growth) and industrial adhesive use is outgrowing consumer market. Also based on a market research survey in 1977, it is found that 60% of purchasers bought less than a pound of CA adhesives while 55% of sales volume accounted for by small firms with fewer than 20 employees. By solving some of the problems (such as clogging) in dispensing adhesives, Loctite can improve its sales of industrial use CA adhesives. The current situation is further analyzed in detail in terms of consumer behavior, competition, Loctite’s core competencies & SWOT analysis for Loctite (see appendix A, C for information). Objectives for Bond-A-Matic Launch The launch of Bond-A-Matic product will be guided by two primary objectives 1) to catalyze Super Bonder sales with the help of complementary…

    Company Analysis: Loctite Corporation is a market leader in development and marketing of adhesives and sealants with a clearly stated objective to become a premier worldwide marketer of instant adhesives for industrial use by 1985. To reach this objective Loctite uses a high quality, high price strategy. It maintains a clear company structure by dividing the market under three profit centers and faces no internal competition between divisions. 70% of IPG sales are from newer technologies (anaerobic and CA) which share no severe problems (contrary to mature technologies in adhesives market). Loctite is enjoying the patent in the anaerobic market with 85% share of the market having limited customers who have not quite accepted the obvious advantages. On the other hand, Loctite looks forward to grow Superbonder CAs at 30% vs the forecasted industrial market growth of 20% next year. The company maintains clear differentiation and adjusted pricing strategy between 2 of its CA products by using market penetration to increase purchase volume of SuperBonder users and on the other hand by using market skimming to maintain the brand loyal users of QuickSet404. In order to maintain market and technical leadership in adhesives and in…
