Both the core components and the peripheral, value-added supplemental components contribute to customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction. If the core is good, it does not enhance satisfaction much, because the customer expects it to be good. But if the core is bad, it can affect dissatisfaction. By comparison, the supplemental services can affect satisfaction or dissatisfaction. How do core factors, cues to quality, and interpersonal factors of a product influence your buying decisions. What about the supplemental services' influence? Explain with your supporting experiences.

This is a discussion post so no need to sound super smart! Thank you!

Discuss why Ben & Jerry's Mission, Vision and Values drives their strategy? Select another company and discuss how their mission, vision and values MAY/OR MAY NOT be driving their strategy. Please feel free to select a company that may be struggling with linking their mission and vision to strategy (McDonalds comes to mind). Or select a company that really has developed a strong mission and vision which has clearly driven their success.

Note: this is a very simple discussion, I hope you guys understand it. Discuss Ben & Jerry( please google it I don't like to post third party website) vision and values, then choose another company(your choice) that struggling with their vision and values. That is all.

What do you think about my thought?

Who is the best listener you have ever known? Describe what that person does that makes him or her so good at listening.

Nowadays, it seems like getting someone to actually listen to what you are saying is like a chore. However, the person in my life I would find to be the best listener I have ever known would be my long-time friend Luana. Everyone has issues in their lives, but whenever I have one she puts hers aside and listens to what I have to say. My pet peeve has always been people who interrupt, and she makes sure I am done talking before she gives me her opinion or advice on something. It seems as though she takes in everything I am saying before speaking back to me which I really appreciate. I can always tell her replies to me are very thought out and she actually considers what she is going to say instead of saying what she thinks will make me happy. However, even if her reply isn’t exactly what I want to hear because we all know the truth can hurt sometimes, she never says anything in a condescending or offensive way. I find that miscommunication happens when people say things like “Well I understand but this is how I feel” or “Yeah that sucks but this happened to me”, she never makes me feel that way and always lets me talk out my frustrations even when we are both in a difficult situation like we are during this time for example. She has taught me a lot about communication throughout the many years I have known her.

Shannon was a talented hockey player and started playing competitively in 2014 when he was sixteen. Many of the tournaments required participants to sign an exculpatory clause in order to participate. One of Shannon’s parents signed the agreements. In 2016, Shannon participated in the regional hockey championships in Atlanta Georgia. During the event, several players crashed into each other and Shannon sustained an injury to his back, leaving him partially paralyzed. Shannon filed a negligence lawsuit against the tournament organizers. The organizers could not find the exculpatory clause that Shannon signed for the event. The organizers argued that Shannon must have signed the agreement to enter the tournament, but even if he had not signed one, his participation in the event demonstrated his intent to be bound by the terms of the agreement.

  • Did Shannon have contractual capacity to enter the contract? Why or why not?
  • If Shannon did not actually sign the exculpatory clause, could a court conclude that he impliedly accepted its terms by participating in the tournament? Why or why not?
  • How would you rule in both of these situations? Support your answer with scholarly material and case law.
