In continuation of last week’s paper, I am going to breakdown the everyday business of No Motor Outfitters. I will indicate how the procedure will function from the consumer’s side of the business as well as the company side. I will show the organizational process standards that I feel will be most appropriate to No Motor Outfitters and the goals we have for our customers. In the past few years the sport of kayak fishing has exploded on the scene. Wherever there is a body of water you will most likely find a kayak and or a kayak angler. Kayaks are cheap easy to maintain, and in some states require no registration. They are additionally low impact on the environment and use no fossil fuels like gas or oil, in short they run on ham sandwiches …show more content…
There needs to be the proper tools in place for each department. Stage 1will require registers, inventory tracking systems, alarm systems, and the ability to test run equipment for safety. In stage 2 a computer and phone will be all we need, as time goes on these things will need to be expanded upon. In stage 3 it’s still pretty simple our “Pro Staff” Positions will be in large part made up of employees who we feel represent No Motor Outfitters philosophy as well as the sport that they choose to represent. They will need to be knowledgeable, and have the desire to grow the paddle sport industry, and maintain a level of safety for themselves and others in the sport. We can do this by having the best computers and systems that allow the most up to date and top of the line information on equipment and materials. With each stage of growth, a company goes thru it needs to keep the tools up to …show more content…
Sales associates don’t do it all by themselves. There will be marketing and accounting and maintenance and so forth. This is the stage that allows the whole team to work in tandem with each other to perform flawlessly to make No Motor Outfitters the best it can be. No Motor Outfitters will outsource parts of their business as the plan is blueprinted now. This will be a very important part of our ability to succeed. There is, however some limitations to what can be done as a free enterprise. There are regulations and laws not only from the United States, but also from the countries that the outsourcing is going too. There needs to be some regulation to keep consumers, and businesses from both ends of the map protected. There are opportunities to outsourcing. The economy of the countries we go to will play a role in prices and products we are able to receive. It is typically cheaper to buy and manufacture products overseas because they have less government regulations and standards. There are lower pay wages and material cost and the laws from their countries don’t put as many restrictions on products like the US does.
Exporting Gives us instant market access into a new market making us able to maximize revenue in a short amount of time. A disadvantage of exporting is the tariffs that foreign government pose on imports which drive the cost up. And in some instances being viewed as an outsider is a disadvantage.
The industry is in the sinking market as sales are declining for the last two years. Gilcrist must avoid re-establishing the company in a sinking market, but to make innovation and change. She should invest her marketing budget into the power boat segment of the industry and expand the company or even move the company to a different location. The challenge for Gilcrist will be to stimulate employee creativity and tolerance for change due to her new directorship as president.
Based on core competence concept, the firm tried to keep strategically important tasks and production in-house where they excelled, while noncore tasks were outsourced to external suppliers with superior skills and knowledge. As time has passed, increasing number of parts and services has come to be considered non-core, and Ford has outsourced production to number of external suppliers, outside the United States. Today, about 70% of typical Ford vehicle comes from parts, components and services purchased from external suppliers. Even white-collar jobs and design of future vehicles are also outsourced. IT sector has also been outsourced.
Each associate deserves a consistent experience when starting their shift. In a tam selling environment, continuous associate growth is necessary to achieve successful team results. The SEL (manager on duty)
A large majority of the American people are against outsourcing because it leads to fewer jobs, unemployment, and the negative impact it has on our economy. Moving a company to a place with cheaper labor and such causes thousands to lose their jobs and it also leads to less jobs that Americans can have. Outsourcing is only good for big businesses, not the people who work there or the smaller businesses around. It also has a negative impact on our economy. Although you are producing things at a cheaper price and selling it on the cheap doesn't mean people are able to buy it. If you get rid of jobs and cause unemployment, less people can purchase things and circulate our money. Our economy is built on the fact that people are able to purchase products. When that goes away
It’s hard to say the products may be cheaper but the quality of the products may also suffer when production is moved overseas. The really isn’t any appliances that are made in the United States any more it’s common for companies to move their factories overseas in order to cut cost. I I were to stop buying the appliances I used to using and changed over to another brand chances are that brands products are made overseas as well so either way I am purchasing a produced that is manufactured overseas whether I say with the first company or move on to another.
There are many benefits of a global market. One major benefit is improved outsourcing. Outsourcing is basically contract work. They do
High cost of entering new markets International growth is expensive. Entering new markets with a new brand
First of all, Globalisation helps to promote international division of labour. According to Heckscher-Ohlin theory (Gerber, 2014, pp.72-76), nations are endowed with different levels of each production factors which have determined their comparative advantage. When trade open, a country will specialise in producing its comparative advantage products and choose to import comparative disadvantage products from other countries. By specialising in the production of comparative advantage product, it can achieve economies of scale. Then the cost of production will decrease. One of the most intuitive senses will be the less expensive product because people can purchase imported comparative disadvantage product and indigenous comparative advantage product both at lower prices than in the past.
If the United States could no longer import items from overseas, our lifestyles would be greatly affected. Many of our modern technologies such as phones, computers and televisions are made overseas. Apple products are mostly made in China (Consumer Reports, 2015). We could make subtle changes and overcome the lack of imported goods in our daily lives, but how would we produce products that are “Made in America” that use foreign parts? Our infrastructure would have to make changes to accommodate producing more items here that are now outsourced.
globalization and TNC's has helped us to produce greater technology. And that's mean there is access to a wide range of the products all over the world. Such as computers, cell phones... ETC.
Labor costs in the United States are much higher than in many parts of the world. Consequently, the costs of production for labor-intensive manufacturing can be significantly reduced by moving factories overseas mainly to third world countries this is a common practice of Nike who outsource there manufacturing to other companies in countries such as Thailand and Indonesia.[ ]
This can be seen from Fig 3 that the export and import during 2005 and 2006 have significantly increased and it is foreseen that the future global trend would be increasing. Also, in order to lower the production costs, lots of international companies will transfer part of work in some countries with lower labor and material costs. This kind of out-sourcing activity enhances the global cooperation as well.
As we all know, global trade is no easy, companies cannot just ship their products to another country and sell it in the foreign market, there are many factors need to be considered and analysis. In my point of view, the factor can be separate into internal and external factors.
Global companies source their raw materials and outsource manufacturing of their products to many countries to take advantage of lower costs or high quality production, and/or lower costs of
