TASK A) Read the case study below: SAR Health Services (SARHS) are part of a multi-national enterprise based in Switzerland. They supply sophisticated diagnostic equipment to hospitals across Europe and have recently entered new marks in Asia. SARHS’s relationship with its customers is based on high trust, high quality products and in Europe on 24/7 servicing. The company employs around 3000 staff, consisting of technicians, production, office staff (sales, marketing, distribution) managers and drivers. SARHS puts particular emphasis on environmental education through staff training and induction. New staff receive a half-day session on sustainability. In addition, monthly departmental meetings in head office include a ‘green slot’ where updates and activities regarding environmental sustainability are discussed. The organisation also runs an internship, which has proved to be a useful source of ideas regarding green initiatives. The company has gone through two reorganisations in the last 3 years. The most recent involved shifting from a functional to a matrix structure. Managers however, have complained that this last structural change confused authority and responsibility relationships. Due to pressure on equipment budgets for healthcare organisations, and increasing competition, SARHS senior management team is aware that it has to find ways of reducing operating costs. A decision has been taken to close one production site (Site A) and consolidate operations at another (Site B), some 100 miles away, in 6 months’ time. During this time site B will be redesigned, including the development of an ‘open plan’ office, which it is expected will reduce energy costs. It is anticipated that the overall number of office and production staff will be reduced by 5 -8%, but technical and sales staff numbers are expected to remain the same. ** The management’s aim is to decrease the company’s carbon foot print by a third by 2022. A number of green initiatives are also planned to reduce costs, including: Recycling and waste reduction Encouragement to recycle by putting lids on waste bins to make recycling easier and providing recycling bins to customers Transport initiatives Company drivers are to be provided with training in fuel efficient driving, with a bonus of 100 Euros twice a year for those who are found to be fuel efficient. Home based working will also be introduced for the entire sales team, who will only attend the Site B office for monthly meetings. To be successful, the relocation and proposed green initiatives need to be fully supported by all staff. Unfortunately, began to hear rumours about the planned changes. As a result, the Managing Director brought forward his formal announcement and held a briefing meeting for staff. Having now heard about the plans formally there is a fair degree of anger and concern amongst the workforce, with remarks from production staff such as “we’ve only just got over the last change and now I might have to move” and “it’s going to cost me money to travel, that’s effectively a wage cut” being typical. Some sales reps are however happy about the idea of being home-based, as this will cut down their overall travel. Re **: You are not expected to understand and discuss redundancy or consultation. B. Write a management report of 3,000 words (plus or minus 10%, not including the reference list) which draws on theory and addresses the following: 1. Identify the factors that the management team might wish to consider before going ahead with their plan.

‘Much time and effort has gone into the harmonisation of substantive areas of commercial law. However, apart from one or two notable exceptions, such instruments have been conspicuous failures. The fact is that individual states should be allowed to compete for legal business….. If there has to be interference by international actors, it should be focused on harmonising conflict of law rules dealing with choice of law, jurisdiction and enforcement of foreign judgments. This is the only way certainty can be achieved.’ Discuss. Format: Font Size: 12 Point Font Type: Times New Roman Line Spacing: 1.5 Left and right hand margins: 1.25” Top and bottom margins: 1”

This assignment consists of two sections: -a marketing plan (Word document) and -Marketing Budget (Excel document) Note: You must complete both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Please complete this assignment for the “Zerocal” company in continuation of the attached: For the first 6 months your company, Zerocal, is in business—to give you time to perfect your product and to learn from actual customers—you will start marketing and selling in your own community, a radius of 25 miles from where you live (Ashburn, Virginia). Section 1: Marketing Plan and Sales Strategy (MS Word or equivalent) Write the 4-page marketing plan and sales strategy section of your business plan in which you do the following for the company Zerocal: Define your company’s, Zerocal’s, target market: -Analyze the types of consumers who will be drinking your beverage in demographic terms (i.e., age, education level, income, gender, ethnic group, etc.). -Outline the demographic information for your company. -Support your analysis with actual data on the size of the demographic groups in your local community (nearby zip codes to Ashburn, Virginia). Hints: At American FactFinder (http://factfinder.census.gov), you will find demographic information on potential consumers in your area. If you are selling through other businesses (such as grocery stores), indicate the number of those businesses in your local area. You will find information about such businesses in your local area at County Business Patterns (http://www.census.gov/econ/cbp/). Check Chapter 2 of Successful Business Plan for more research sources. -Assess your company’s market competition. -Use the factors listed in the course text graphic (“p. 123 | Assess the Competition” named document attached) to assess your company’s market competition. -Defend your plan to differentiate yourself from the competition using the information detailed on the worksheet in the text (“p. 131 | Market Share Distribution” named document attached). Hints: Every business faces competition, and the non-alcoholic beverage market is an especially crowded market. Hints: For example, in the soft drink market, it is intimidating to try to compete against Coke and Pepsi. Newcomers in mature markets typically must pursue niche markets or even create new market categories, as Red Bull did with energy drinks. -Clarify your company’s message using the information provided on the worksheet in the text (“p. 160 | The Five F’s” named document attached). Create a marketing slogan/tagline for your product. Hints: Before you choose your marketing vehicles, you must determine the message you want to convey through those vehicles. -Identify the marketing vehicles you plan to use to build your company’s brand. Justify the key reasons why they will be effective. Hints: If you plan to use online marketing tactics, refer to the worksheet in the text (“p. 171 | Online Marketing Tactics” named document attached) to aid your response. Remember that even if you’re selling through grocery stores, you need to build your brand and social media is a major part of that in regard to beverages. Some of the marketing tactics that beverage companies use include sampling in grocery stores, building a following on social media, sponsoring events, and exhibiting at trade shows attended by retailers. You will use a combination of these tactics. For example, if you decide to give out samples in grocery stores, promote your sampling on your social media networks and those of the grocery store. Hints: If you are planning to distribute through resellers, describe how you plan to reach them, for example, through industry trade shows or by establishing your own sales force. For information on trade shows, visit the Trade Show News Network (http://www.tsnn.com). You can exhibit or network at these shows.
