I’m working on a Management question and need guidance to help me study.

Kraft Mac and Cheese: A Stealth Marketing Approach

• A trend that has a critical impact on the consumer packaged goods industry in recent years is consumers’ desire for simpler, more transparent, and more natural ingredients. More companies have responded by publicly stating their intentions to remove artificial coloring and preservatives from longstanding brands and then repositioning the product as “clean” or “pure” within the market. While this strategy aligns well with trends, it risks alienating individuals who are used to purchasing goods based on more intangible factors such as nostalgia, predictability, and even taste.
• Kraft used a novel approach to handling these shifting consumer preferences. To stay competitive within the category, the company realized it had to rethink the product formula of one of its superstar brands, Kraft Mac and Cheese. However, management knew it was crucial to make changes without tainting elements of the product that consumers had come to expect. For generations, individuals had associated Kraft Mac and Cheese with its orangish hue and smooth sauce consistency. Kraft made it a point to carefully maintain these identifying attributes as it eliminated ingredients and removed artificial dyes.
• The aspect of Kraft’s strategy that was a real differentiator though was how it rolled out the reformulation. Rather than advertising the measures the company had taken to make its product more natural—common practice among competitors—Kraft simply didn’t say anything. Studies have shown that even the mention of a new formula can cause consumers to perceive flavor to be different, so Kraft chose not to call attention to the change.
• After consumers had accepted the new formula, as evidenced by sales remaining stable, Kraft launched a digital campaign to announce the adjustment. The campaign tagline “It changed. But it hasn’t.” was featured in 15- and 30-second online video spots. Tongue-and-cheek lines such as “We’d invite you to try it, but you already have.” were incorporated into digital display ads, promotions through channels like Pandora radio and Snapchat, and magazine print. Kraft also encouraged fans to share their experiences with the product on social media using #didntnotice and offered giveaways to encourage postings.
• Kraft’s ability to make a fundamental change to an iconic product without consumer backlash is a testament to its thoughtful marketing approach. Quietly testing the waters in a landscape of uncertainty can help companies anticipate reactions to significant product changes that ultimately help them stay one step ahead.

Questions:

• In what way(s) could Kraft’s strategy have backfired? How might Kraft have been prepared for this possibility?
• How should Kraft respond to the demographic trends outlined in your textbook? What about cultural trends? Sustainability trends? Please be sure to answer each of these questions; they should not be lumped together but instead treated separately.

I’m trying to learn for my Software Development class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

Scenario

Acme Toys, Inc. is a leading toy manufacturer. As part of its expansion plan, it purchased a new building for its headquarters, which will house all the departments of the company. Apart from the usual departments, such as marketing, sales (with telemarketing capability), accounting, and IT, the building will also house the R&D, manufacturing, and distribution departments.

The company wants to set up a network to enable employees to communicate and share resources. The company requires workstations and server computers. The servers should provide support for:

• A multiuser environment
• Multiple processors
• Various types of applications
• High security
• High memory requirements

In addition, the network should be able to support high-level, multiuser applications that will run simultaneously. The profiles of employees range from a sales executive who is not computer savvy to IT professionals and people in the R&D department who are technology savvy. Due to the diverse user profiles, the company also needs to consider the ease of use of the OS.

The IT department is in the process of designing the processing requirements of computers. Although the entire company will be networked, a separate network is required for the R&D department because of security reasons. In addition, the manufacturing department plans to expand its network within the next six months by fifty percent.

As a member of the IT team, you need to recommend the best OSs for workstations and servers on the network. You need to consider the ease of use of various OSs based on user profiles. Your report must provide a rationale for the proposed OS and compatibility issues, if any, if you propose using multiple OSs.

Part 1—Identifying Network Requirements and OS Implementation

Using the South University Online library and the Internet, research various OSs.

Based on your research, create a report in a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document to complete the following tasks:

• Identify and describe in detail the requirements for Acme Toys Inc. Make sure that you include the different requirements for workstations and servers.
• Identify the requirements an OS and architecture implementation must address. Include details about hardware, software, security, memory, and different types of users. Discuss resource needs to be managed by the OS, architecture, distributed operated systems, whether there is a need for a GUI, and windowing.

Submission Details

• Support your responses with examples.

Hello Class!

There are many structures of the ear that help us to hear. The first structure is the pinna, the outer part of the ear. Sound first passes through to the external auditory canal. The external auditory canal is like a tunnel or passageway that sound travels through to reach the ear drum.

The eardrum has a membrane that sound vibrates on when it reaches it. The vibrations cause the sound to travel to the bones of the middle ear.

There are three bones that make up the middle ear called, the malleus, incus, and stapes. They help to amplify the sound through the oval window into the cochlea.

The cochlea is part of the inner ear that has nerve impulses that respond to vibrations from sound. Inside of the cochlea is peri lymphatic fluid. This fluid turns vibrations into sound waves that causes it to cover the organ of corti. The surface of the organ of corti have hair cells that are neurons that are used to transmit information from sound into the brain

The part of the brain that is receives the sound information is the primary auditory cortex that is located in the temporal lobe. This part of the brain processes auditory language and speech comprehension (Temporal Lobe 2020). The information is then passed on to other parts of the brain such as the middle temporal gyrus that helps to understand, learn, and language.

When determining the source of a sound it is called sound localization, being able to understand what a sound is and where it originated from. The parts of the brain that processes sound localization is the posterior belt area and the anterior belt area.

Vision on the other hand is determined by the occipital lobe of the brain. This area helps process visual information by using neurons to encode incoming visual sensory information.

The difference between visual and sound source is determined by the parts of the brain that helps to identify the source. However, when these processes work together to identify the source and understand the information received it’s called sensory interaction.

In a recent study conducted by the Department of Otolaryngology of the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education & Research, Chandigarh the comparison of hearing loss between urban and rural children; there were a 6.1% hearing loss in urban group and 32.8% in the rural group. This is explained by rural areas have are typically lower socioeconomical status leading to poorer hygiene and access to medical and health care services.

Hearing impairment has also been linked to mental health. There is an increased risk of developing anxiety, depression, and schizophrenia according to Stoll, McGrath 2017. This is in part due to difficulty hearing, responding appropriately in social situations, and feeling isolated due to hearing loss. Feelings of isolation lead to depression, substance abuse, and suicidal thoughts and actions.

Thank you for reading my post this week!

Classmate #2:

Hello class,

I really enjoyed learning about the anatomy and physiology of hearing. The ear has many structures involved in hearing but it all starts with vibrations that create movement among air molecules. This creates a wave that is first detected by the outer folds of our ears called the pinna. The pinna catch the waves and amplify the sound, which then travels through the ear canal to the ear drum. The ear drum has a membrane known as the tympanic membrane, which vibrates when the waves of sound hit it. This vibrating causes the ear drum to move back and forth against three tiny bones within the inner ear. These bones are called malleus, incus, and stapes, and they amplify the sound and move it through to the oval window. In the oval window these vibrations become waves again and travel to the cochlea. In the cochlea there is fluid known as perilymphatic fluid. The sound waves create movement in this fluid which then moves across a surface called the organ of corti. The organ of corti contains hair like cells, or cilia, that are actually neurons. These neurons detect the type of sound wave, long slow waves create low frequency sounds and fast short waves create high frequency sounds. The cilia then send the message to the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe. From there it is sent to the middle temporal gyrus for decoding and understanding.

The visual center in the brain includes the thalamus, primary visual cortex, parietal lobe, and temporal lobe. The stimuli first reaches the thalamus where it is then routed to the primary visual cortex. From there it is sent to the parietal and temporal lobes for processing and understanding.

Rural communities have a higher rate of hearing loss than urban communities. Hearing loss is greater among poverty and manual labor careers which are both often seen in rural areas. One reason for this is those in rural communities are less likely to have easy access to hearing specialists and therefore have untreated hearing loss. A physiological explanation for this is the damage done to hearing by loud machinery. According to our book, prolonged exposure to loud sounds can lead to damage to the cilia resulting hearing loss.

Hello everyone,

For this week’s forum topic, we were asked to discuss the structures of the ear and focus on the role of components that plays a part in transmitting the vibrations that enter the ear to the auditory receptors within the inner ear. According to our lesson, sound starts as a distal stimulus. As the sound enters our outer ear of (pinnae), it travels through the auditory canal which lead to the tympanic membrane. Sound waves are vibrations which are caused by an object that changes the surrounding pressure of the air, water, or whatever other source that can transmit vibrations. Those vibrations, when meeting the tympanic membrane, cause it to vibrate.

The vibrations from the tympanic membrane are sent to the ossicles or the three inner bones of the middle ear. The ossicles consist of the malleus, the incus, and the stapes. First the vibrations are moved by the malleus and carried to a smaller channel called the incus, and finally, the vibrations are moved on to the stapes. From here, the vibration’s move into the oval window. As the vibrations travel through the semicircular canals, they move into the cochlea. The cochlear ganglion moves the vibration towards the basil membrane and organ of Corti where those same vibrations are turned into electricity. The electrical signal is sent towards the Cochlear nerve where they begin their travel further towards to cochlear nucleus and on into the brain. (https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/, 2018).

Secondly, we were asked to discuss the basic difference between determining where the location of a sound source is in the brain as compared to where a visual object source is in the brain.

The areas where the brain is responsible for sound location is the back of the cortex as well as in an area towards the front of the cortex. The “what” auditory pathway is an area that extends from what is called the anterior belt area to the frontal cortex. This is the pathway that is responsible for a person to understand what a sound is. The “where” auditory pathway is in an area called the posterior belt area to the frontal cortex. This pathway is responsible in letting the person know where the sound is coming from. (Goldstein & Brockmole, 2020).

The visual location of the brain is in the primary visual cortex which lies in the occipital lobe of both cerebral hemispheres. As information leaves the retina within the eyeball, it travels to the optic nerve where it becomes what is called the optic tract. This goes into the nucleus of the thalamus. From there, the information travels in what is referred to as the optic radiation that curves around the wall of the lateral ventricle in each hemisphere of the brain. The information finally arrives at occipital lobe where the information is processed. (www. psych.athabascau.ca, 2019).

And finally, were asked to discuss how hearing loss happens occurs in urban areas as compared to rural environments. A study performed by three departments from the University of Alabama in joint efforts with Department of Psychiatry, Rhode Island Hospitalfound that data collected from 71 participants with hearing loss and 45 without, showed that “adults with hearing loss living in rural areas, had poor perceived tangible support”. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/, 2018). Another study conducted with 1,670 school going children (urban 1030 and rural 640) all in the age range of 12- 14 years were screened for hearing loss. This survey was conducted by the Department of Otolaryngology of the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education & Research, Chandigarh. (Mann, Gupta, 1998). This study, like the other, shows that those in rural areas do not have the support, i.e., medical, monetary, and social, which in turn can lead to hearing loss. Psychologically, this effect can be profound as hearing loss can bring the onset of “depression, schizophrenia, and dementia, and can trigger episodes of extreme anger and suicidal ideation”. (https://hearinghealthfoundation.org/, 2017).

Thanks, and hope everyone has a great week!
