    On November 12, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. until 2:00 p.m., I went to Jackson Creek Shopping Center and observed the cereal aisle at Kroger’s.

There are approximately forty-seven different brands of cereal such as Cookie Crisp, Rice Krispy’s, Cheerio’s, Fruit Loops, Honey Combs, Trix, Kix, Honey Bunches of Oats, Cocoa Puffs, Captain Crunch, Lucky Charms and several others.…

    Dannon Case Analysis

    Dannon lacked the external CSR that had come to build Yoplait a valuable and loyal brand following. Most notably was the “Save Lids to Save Lives” breast cancer awareness campaign that Yoplait put on every year since 1997. Dannon had their own CSR initiatives; however, they were internally communicated. This ended up hurting Dannon’s exposure and community relations in the market place. To be a formidable competitor for Yoplait, Dannon must eliminate Yoplait’s CSR competitive advantage while customizing its own CSR initiatives to generate new sales opportunities.…

    Xacc 280 Final: Coke/Pepsi

    The significance of the trend analyses on net sales and net income is that PepsiCo has been steadily increasing its sales over the past 5 years (for a total increase of $9 billion), since 2001. Clearly, they must have sound marketing and advertising strategies, in order to not just maintain their sales figures, but to maintain a growing increase each year. Up until 2005, they were performing equally admirably at increasing their net income as well. While their net income for 2005 is still an impressive 69.9% higher than in 2001, they went from 3 years of massive increases, to a slight decrease. Since the sales figures increased from 2004-2005, it’s not a question of having a “sales slump”. This means they must have increased expenses dramatically during 2005. We know this because net income is tabulated from the income statement, which consists of revenues and expenses. Logically, if sales have continued to increase, yet net income has fallen slightly, then there must have been a substantial…

    To Regulate or Not to Regulate Junk Foods Advertising Aimed at Children?

    United States faces the risk that the percentage of obesity among children will increase. The percentage of children and adolescents who suffer from this epidemic is 17% (CDC). One generation ago, the rate was three times less than now. The number of obese children is continuously growing, which may cause a danger to children and the future of the country. The risk of obesity does not only mean the risk of diseases and health problems, but also the risks associated with psychological and social impact. There is no doubt that one of the biggest causes of obesity is the unhealthy dietary choices that many children make nowadays (IOM). The larger the increase in the percentage of obese children and thereby the increase in the risks surrounding them, the greater the need to confront this problem. Companies, institutions, parents, and individuals should play a role in fighting obesity, but the role of government is most important. The government can enact laws regulating the process of junk food advertisement aimed at children that contribute to the problem significantly. Although some jurists and businessmen oppose such regulation by government, there is some evidence that regulating junk foods advertisement aimed at children yield positive results.…

    Bain Kristy PHI 208 Final

    Ethics are the principles of humanity which determine right and wrong in all aspects of living and decision making. Lawrence Kohlberg, a Harvard psychologist, found that people develop ethically through different stages of human life (Velasquez, Andre, Shanks, S.J., & Meyer, 1987, par. 10). One of the greatest aids to ethical development is education, especially education which demands a student to evaluate ethical situations and reactions. Humans begin to establish a foundation of moral and ethical guidelines as children when they face punishments for bad behavior. The development of ethics in children is also very dependent upon the example of the parents. A person will continue to learn and grow ethically through life depending upon the influences around him/her. This is an ever evolving lesson as most people are extremely influenced by society and the beliefs of those around them. Some people believe that ethics are an established set of rules that are adaptively understood throughout the world. This does not seem to be a valid option as so many people believe differently about nearly all subjects of human life and progression. While ethics is a solid boundary for moral decision making, these principles are derived from the relative world in which each person in immersed. Ethics are more than a natural belief thrust upon the minds of the human species, ethics are taught, demonstrated, and most importantly learned.…

    Business Ethics

    Kellogg’s is one of world’s most ethical companies for many reasons. To start with, the Founder W.K. Kellogg wanted to do good things for people, starting with nutrition and the environment, and began promoting environmentally-friendly processes by producing the first boxes of cereal in recycled packaging in 1906. Today, Kellogg’s uses 100% recycled packaging. In addition, Kellogg’s created a Social Responsibility Committee in 1979 that now deals with environmental concerns, health & safety, addiction and abuse, and other issues that impact employees and communities.…

    Pilsbury Cookie Challenge

    Mr. Guillen had to decrease the percentage of scratch users in Canada (61%) to that in the United States (49%) in view of similarities in consumer demographics and family structure. As stated above, the study had revealed that the quality of cookie dough or flavors offered were not valued as highly in Canada as in the United States. It was interesting that even Mr. Guillen himself questioned if there was a taste or formula issue. The first step that GMCC should do was to ensure the refrigerated cookies manufactured in Canada had the same quality as those in the United States (i.e. ingredients, formula and taste). Marketing strategy should emphasize quality, convenience, easy baking, and fun baking experience.…

    Unethical Food Marketing to Children

    In today’s society, the food and beverage industry is faced with an ongoing ethical dilemma because they are far more concerned with making money than providing a good, safe, and healthy product for consumers. The biggest victims in this unethical marketing scheme are children. Children are the least informed and most influenced of all potential consumers (5). Although children usually don’t directly purchase these products themselves, their desires strongly influence their parent’s decision on what to buy and what the child will eat. Most products geared towards children are unhealthy, processed foods that are high in sugars and low in nutritional content (6). This has led to a rise in childhood obesity and other health related problems in children. To make matters worse, consumers recklessly purchase products that they aren’t always familiar with simply because of the influential advertising that leaves a lasting impression on them. The packaging techniques of companies are geared directly towards attracting kids based on a product being cool or looking fun. Television ads are action-packed, cool, and hip to attract kids to their product based on nothing but an impression. The ethical question is whether companies should be more responsible for their role in the health of society’s children, or should society be more responsible for regulating their intake of foods that have a potential negative effect.…
