Practical Exercise: Recipe of Success!
Few British knew about Dr Oetker a German and European leading food manufacturer who entered the UK market with a frozen pizza named "Pizza Ristorante". So, who is Dr Oetker?
Dr Oetker was a pharmacist from Biefeild in Germany who established the Oetker Group in 1891. Nowadays, the company is one of the largest family businesses in Germany with revenue of 3.5 billion euro per annum. The key ingredient of the company's success is quality; whether in management or product.
Quality of the best recipe:
Oetker management rose the curtain of Pizza Ristorante in Britain, in 2020 and astonishingly was the first investment for a huge and well-reputed food and beverage company from Germany. The promise has been to offer an authentic pizza taste even if it is frozen. In no months, Pizza Ristorante became a popular product across the UK as research pointed out that 76% of consumers give Pizza Ristorante preferences over its competitors' pizzas. Till recent years, the brand made a tremendous journey of success and well established in the UK market.
Recipe of Success:
Dr Oetker is an experienced company when it comes to introducing products in new markets, and food and beverage market, including its frozen pizza brand, a leader in the 23 European countries. Similarly, Ristorante frozen pizza enjoys success in the UK market. Due to its philosophy in quality, Pizza Ristorante is made from high-quality ingredients to satisfy customers who are interested in buying frozen pizzas. Moreover, before entering a market, the company thoroughly study the specific market needs and the nature of its competitors. Therefore, the company through its marketing research found that the dominate taste of the pizza was a thin and crispy segment, accordingly, the company decided to possibly add value by offering high quality and with competitive price of frozen pizza. The goal was to encourage consumers to revisit the frozen pizza category by tasting samples of an authentic pizzeria pizza of Ristorante Pizza.
Onwards and upwards.
As a result of Ristorante brand success, Dr Oetker launched several new products in the UK market; yoghurt, dessert brands 'Onken' is now established and doing well. Dr Oetker's new venture was acquiring SuperCook range of baking and cake decorating products. For now, both companies are in the phase of merging and re-introducing SuperCook with new packaging and promotional material.
Once again, Dr Oetker is a well-established company in the area of baking products back in Germany and EU with a long history of providing baking products. After major success in the frozen pizza segment in the UK, Dr Oekter may go ahead investing more resources in its newly developed product (SuperCook) and again Dr Oetker is aiming to become number one in baking product segment too by using its recipe of success, the one used when launching Ristorante Pizza. However, British baking products are popular for their traditional taste, thus, many UK bakers do not like to have a new thing in their baking process. Moreover, they are suspicious of the innovation in the baking material though this brand has been there in the UK for a long time.
Another task to be taken into consideration is to persuade the UK retailer and super grocery shops to spare shelves for SuperCook (after re-launching product this task may not be easy as it is seen). In other words, SuperCook needs the super grocery continuous support and to allocate shelf space as they used to do before Dr Oetker acquires the business.
The crucial part of the success of re-launch is recruiting a well-trained new salesforce.

2. The sales manager also understands the importance of giving the right sales incentives to the salesforce to have a smooth relaunch of SuperCook in the market. Therefore, the sales manager understands the pivotal role of sales budget in encouraging and controlling the salesforce. In the light of these facts, suggest best approaches to set up sales quotas or sales targets for the salespeople for the relaunched brand and how these are used as meterstick when measuring achievement.

  1. The reasons that workers in the 25-54 year old category were displaced are listed below.

Plant closed/moved 44.8%

Insufficient work 25.2%

Position eliminated 30.0%

A random sample of 180 displaced workers (in this age category) found that 40 lost their jobs due to their position being eliminated, 53 due to insufficient work, and the rest due to the company being closed or moving. At the 0.01 level of significance, are these proportions different from those from the U.S. Department of Labor?

Let X be an uncountable set, let τf be the finite complement topology on X, and let τc be the countable complement topology; namely, we have
τf ={U⊂X : X\U is finite}∪{∅},

τc={U⊂X : X\U is countable}∪{∅},

where “countable” means that the set is either finite or countably infinite (in bijection with the natural numbers).

(a) What are the compact subspaces of (X, τf )? Are all compact subspaces closed in (X, τf )?

(b) What are the compact subspaces of (X,τc)? Are all compact subspaces closed in (X,τc)?

(c) What have we learned about the nature of compact subspaces when (X,τ) is not Hausdorff ?
