CAMPBELL KEYBOARD CORPORATION

The Campbell Keyboard Corporation was enjoying the biggest year in its history. High production levels made its unit costs low. It was the successful bidder for the Plum Computer’s annual keyboard contract— the largest single keyboard sale in the world each year. To win the contract, Campbell promised Plum a state of the art, cordless keyboard with radio frequency range of 100 feet (in free space – no object between the transmitter and the receiver).

In order to meet the initial delivery deadline to Plum, the Campbell Keyboard Corporation had to implement production changes in a hurry—by changing the color of the casing (Plum Computer’s are known for their purple color), the key tops, and increasing the power of the radio frequency (RF) transmitter. Campbell Keyboard could easily handle all of the changes in-house, except changing the power of the radio frequency (RF) transmitter. Production of the new RF transmitter would have to be placed outside.

Because of the tight schedule, it was essential that supply management delay as little as possible in selecting a source for the RF transmitter and placing the purchase order. Of the suppliers that were capable of producing the units, only four were large enough to handle the RF transmitter in the necessary quantities. Three of the four sources contacted either refused to quote on so short a schedule or else were fully loaded and unable to consider the order. The only exception was the Ingborg Radio Company, a highly reputable concern with a wide reputation for reliable work and strict adherence to promised delivery dates.

The Ingborg Radio Company was run by Niels Ingborg, a Swede by birth, who was indeed a master craftsman and a man of personal integrity and honesty. However, Ingborg was a businessman of the old school and ran his operation on a tight-fisted, closed-mouth basis. He knew his business and insisted on running his business as he saw fit. He sought advice from no one, and recently, when he was told by one of his customers that his prices were too high, he was heard to have said, “I produce a quality product, and I meet my delivery dates. I know my business, and I know what I should charge as a price. You get what you pay for, and if you’re looking for bargains or cut-rate prices, I would rather not have your business.”

This, then, was the only supplier willing and able to consider the RF transmitter procurement. Jim Smith, the Campbell Keyboard supply manager, opened discussions with Ingborg expecting at best a difficult time. At the outset, the meeting was noticeably strained. Several months previously, Campbell Keyboard had canceled a sizable order with Niels Ingborg and returned the work to its own shops to relieve what was then an under load condition. As could be expected, Ingborg was most unhappy on that occasion, and Smith was aware that the situation was strained.

It was with a sense of uneasiness, therefore, that Smith asked Ingborg to submit a quotation on the RF transmitters. However, Ingborg was the epitome of politeness and seemed sincere and anxious to be helpful and cooperative. The RF transmitter design was created by Campbell’s designer and approved by Plum Computer. Ingborg cited the fact that the Campbell designs were difficult to make, and that more time was needed than Smith was prepared to allow in order to develop a realistic quotation. Consequently, he proposed that Smith tell him what the job was worth, and that would be the quoted price. This approach on the part of Ingborg caught Smith completely off balance. It was the last thing he expected to hear, and although he liked to believe that the “old man had mellowed,” his intuition told him to be more wary. To aggravate Smith’s dilemma further, Ingborg then proposed an alternative—$33 per hour straight time and $40 for overtime, based on the actual hours spent on the job.

 What should Campbell do in an effort to get better competition?

Hi, need to submit a 1250 words essay on the topic Motivational Plan.

This is based on the identification of the factors that are in correlation to values, emotions and attitude of the team members. The paper also offers a summary of the different modes of identifying the factors and providing conclusions that are overtly related to influencing the performance of the team positively.

There has been a focus on business design as a necessary component of motivating a team in an organization. In order to achieve motivation, performance and satisfaction, every organization needs to have a working design. Through having a working design, there is a boost to the effectiveness of a given team. However, the behavior of the term is shaped by the individuals’ values, personalities, emotions and attitudes. Working as a mentor that manages a Shipping Department for Athletic Equipment, there is a need to have a grip on these matters and get to understand, evaluate and analyze the different attributes of each and every team member. This is the means through which effective work design and efficient team layout can be put in place. Moreover, having individuals with different personalities, attitudes and emotions mean there is s need for the establishment of a comprehensive motivational plan. For instance, at the department, there are three individuals with different personalities (Keller, 2009). Pursia and Cleveland are impressed while Lydia is an interactive person. This, therefore, implies a need for a comprehensive motivational plan if the potential of the team members is to be exploited.

Worthy to note is the fact that those team members who seem not too ecstatic about their work are more often not comfortable with the concept of the team. In order to build a progressive team, one needs to use personalities, values, attitudes and the emotions of the employees in order to motivate the performance of the team.

Attitude refers to the perception of an individual with regards to other people, items or events. Attitude can

Complete 2 page APA formatted essay: Price Competition between online retailers and High St shops.

ive stores went up by 18 percent while those that practiced online sales along with convectional shop keeping experienced 2 percent decline in growth (Passingham 2013). In spite of the increase in demand for online transactions, the amounts customers have to pay for the products keep dropping. the mean value at the checkout is estimated to have reduced by over 10% since 2011. This is evidence that the online customers are using the convenience of online stores to shop for deals. Online shops have a competitive edge in that they can afford to sell their goods for considerably less than their high street counterparts do (Kelsey 2013). The latter have to account for the cost of. lease, security, staffing and myriad other costs of doing business and the higher overheads ultimately weigh in on their competitive advantage.

For online stores, there is the added convenience of transcending geographical boarders. a clothing shop in London will be mostly out of bounds for customers living far from the city but the online one is open to anyone anywhere. This way, the customer base for online stores is significantly larger than that of high street ones (Kelsey, 2013). Firm’s like ASOS, which deals in both men and women’s clothes, have capitalized on the online marketing sector. Today, it is one of the most profitable clothing stores in the UK because of its online presence, which allows it to cater for the needs of next generations shoppers. Many of these are used to getting everything online and as a result, ASOS provides an opportunity for them to easily and conveniently access fashion accessories. They also provide services, which allow customers to “try on” the clothes online virtually which makes them even less likely to go for a high-end street shop.

High street stores on the other hand have also upped their efforts to remain competitive in the quickly digitalizing market, one of the main methods applied is the opening of websites and online stores so they
