Decision made by judgement of a product:
When Co-Founder Koelle Thomae first tasted the family made yogurt, she automatically thought it was the best things she ever tasted in the world. She felt so strong about the quality and taste of the product that she decided to go through all the proper channels to bring it to the U.S. Koelle clearly made her decision based on her judgment of the yogurt. If I came across a product I thought could make difference in peoples, and had a great first impression of it, I would too go through the proper channels to see how I could make it available to others. Especially if there’s no other product like it and I thought people would appreciate it as much as I do.

because her perception was it’s the best she’s ever had. She got others involved in her decision making who were more experts in the food industry field to gather their thoughts before forming a decision. Koelle also didn’t make her decision on the spot. It took her two years to pursue this goal and she remained determined to bring is to the U.S. because she had such high anticipations for the product. Sometimes when I truly believe in my ideas, I’ll find a way to make myself believe it can go to the next level by consistently reminding myself it’s the best
While many pass by the dairy aisle thinking nothing of the stories behind products, yogurt is such a product that has been experimented commercially in what is now a battle between the bacteria. Activia and Yoplait are two players in a grander battle of gaining consumer interest. Both the Activia and Go-Gurt commercials differ in the details of their approach, yet both stray away from
Everyone is looking for better and healthier life! People today pay more and more attention to the food they eat, they want it to be healthy and tasty, on the other side modern life is so dynamic and eventful, that the food must be fast. So you need to come up with something that will support all these needs. The great solution is Frozen Yogurt. It is a refreshing, savory dessert that combines the flavors and textures of ice cream and sherbet. Frozen yogurt is a new-comer in the dessert market. Nevertheless, “the history of frozen desserts dates back thousands of years to Asia where water ices were first made.’’ (wiki) Yogurt was brought to the U.S. in the early 1900s and steadily increased in popularity as a health food item over the next several decades. By the 1970s, with the popularity of ice cream technology was transferred to the production of frozen yogurt. But it’s entry into the dessert market was a distinct failure—consumers complained that it tasted too much like yogurt. Relaying on consumer demand for a sweet product that tasted like ice cream, TCBY opened its first store in 1981. The highest popularity comes to Fro-yo by the mid 1990s. But in the late 1990s as Americans turned their attention to high-protein, high-fat diets, demand for frozen yogurt slowed considerably. Low-fat foods such as frozen yogurt fell out of favor as food trends preferred higher fat and lower cost ice cream at the turn of the millennium. Trends changed back to frozen yogurt in the mid 2000s with the advent of live probiotic powder-based mixes. Over the last decade the production of frozen yogurt has grown multi-million dollar business with dozens of competing companies.
A positive to expanding to Canada is that Canadian shoppers are similar to American shoppers, ideally making this a good target market for growth (Fiorletta, 2015). In an interview regarding expansion in Canada, CO-CEO Walter Rob said, “Our efforts in Canada are part of the effort to grow.” “We think the opportunity for fresh, healthy foods is larger now that it’s ever been”. “And we intend to grow as fast as we have ever grown — 40 new stores next year, 42-44 for the following year.” “That’s 10% square footage growth on top of 15 million square feet of retail we already have.” “People have said maybe we should stop our growth.” “I said, no, we are not going to do that because our strategy is working.” “There’s no reason to stop.” “There’s every reason to keep going.” (Vieira,

TCBY has been a frozen treats product innovator from the day its first shop opened in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1981. The great-tasting, low-fat frozen yogurt concept received an enthusiastic response from an increasingly health-conscious public. Its trendy new product propelled the company to the forefront of franchising, and was the ‘first in a long line of ground-breaking menu items that anticipated consumer preferences and continually refreshed the TCBY concept’ (Conlin 2001, p. 133). But TCBY products are just one of the reasons that thousands of operators have concluded that a TCBY franchise is the preferred opportunity in branded frozen treats, and a dynamic partner in any co-branded concept. However, TCBY is facing a lot of problems, both internal and external, during the difficult period from the late 1980s to the early 1990s, especially the problem with its franchising system. The purpose of this report is to provide a comprehensive situation analysis of TCBY, with special reference to its franchising system, and identify several concerned issues of TCBY and its franchisees, and how these issues have negatively affected the relationship between them. Furthermore, this report also provides three recommendations in the attempt to diminish these concerned issues and better maintain the relationship between TCBY and its franchisees, and most importantly, help TCBY to increase the company’s performance and achieve their strategic goals in the next few years.
...order to increase revenues to $20 million before the end of 2001, Natureview should choose option three and introduce two SKUs of a children’s multi-pack into the natural foods channel. This option carries the least amount of financial risk and would allow the company to build off of its already well-established position within the natural foods channel. Since women already represent 70% of yogurt purchases, the company should market the children’s multi-packs to mothers as a fast, easy, delicious and nutritious option for children as an addition to a meal or as a snack.
Currently, the company lacks of focus as it has a diverse product line with too many varieties of cheese products. With so many products it cannot be sure to decide as to which market segment to target in order to take the advantage of the growing market.
ABSTRACT: The aim of this paper is to defend a broad concept of visual perception, according to which it is a sufficient condition for visual perception that subjects receive visual information in a way which enables them to give reliably correct answers about the objects presented to them. According to this view, blindsight, non-epistemic seeing, and conscious visual experience count as proper types of visual perception. This leads to two consequences concerning the role of the phenomenal qualities of visual experiences. First, phenomenal qualities are not necessary in order to see something, because in the case of blindsight, subjects can see objects without experiences phenomenal qualities. Second, they cannot be intentional properties, since they are not essential properties of visual experiences, and because the content of visual experiences cannot be constituted by contingent properties.
The European Vice President of United Cereal (UC), Lora Brill, is confronted by a dilemma: to launch a new product called Healthy Berry Crunch as the first ‘Eurobrand’ or not. A wrong decision may destroy her career, especially since Healthy Berry Crunch is not only a new concept of healthy cereal, but also a pioneer of United Cereal’s Eurobrand, which is different from the company’s usual standards. On the other hand, if she makes the right decision, she may be able to grow the company to a whole new level.
When Ulukaya immigrated to New York in 1994, he found an opportunity to create a successful yogurt empire. This did not stem from the mere 3,000 dollars he had originally started with when he came to learn English and business here in the United States. His yogurt franchise came to be by his ability to employ and utilize various managerial skills of business management; his technical expertise, his analytical skills, and his conceptual skills. These abilities were what he applied to create the yogurt powerhouse we see in Chobani today. When he came to New York, he never thought about making
