Pursuing the Customer Component of Total Quality Management
[ send me this essay ]
A 21 page paper discussing the customer satisfaction aspect of TQM, which has been characterized as the least painful way to achieve the levels of efficiency necessary to gain and keep competitive advantage in today's increasingly competitive business climate. Its focus often is that of internal operations only with little regard for the customer's views of the organization's efforts, with a common result that the organization accomplishes fine internal advances but fails to impress customers and therefore increase business. Customer surveys can provide invaluable information in ways the firm can better serve its customers, thereby more surely growing its business. In this paper, ABC Company surveys a sample of 100 customers and makes valuable discoveries that have the potential of being beneficial to the company. Bibliography lists 27 sources.

Quaker’s Snapple Failure
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing where Quaker failed in its management of its acquisition of Snapple® in 1995. Quaker paid $1.7 billion for the company in 1995; it sold it in 1997 for $300 million. Cadbury Schweppes bought the acquiring company in 2000 to become the 3rd largest producer in the industry. Cadbury Schweppes faces the same distribution problems that Quaker never was able to manage, and Cadbury’s problems in distribution may be worse for Cadbury than it was for Quaker. Quaker already supplied single-serving packages of Gatorade to convenience stores, but Cadbury Schweppes products are rarely found outside a grocery store. Cadbury should ensure that it can gain additional shelf space to allow it to offer larger containers of Snapple drinks while it develops a more efficient distribution system.
