Behind every product manufactured there are parts, fasteners, gloves, welds, holes that are drilled, and maybe a headache or two. These are all products that are sold and manufactured by the companies W.W. Grainger and Fastenal Company.

Spokane Industries has contracted Franklin Electronics for an 18 month product development contract. Franklin Electronics is new to using project management methodologies and has not been exposed to earned value management methodologies. Even though Franklin and Spokane have worked together in the past, they have mainly used fixed-price contracts with little to no stipulations. For this project, Spokane Industries is requiring Franklin Electronics to use formalized project management methodologies, earned value cost schedules, and schedules for reports and meetings. Since Franklin Electronics had no experience with earned value management, the cost accounting group was trained in the methodology in order to bid for the project.
HubSpot has successfully targeted a specific market segment with their inbound marketing strategy. By focusing exclusively on a particular type of customer, such as Marketer Marys, they have achieved faster success. In fact, my recent calculations indicate that Marketer Marys have the highest customer lifetime value, as shown in Exhibit 1, and the lowest churn rate compared to other customer segments. Additionally, Marketer Marys are highly educated and proficient in using programs that improve acquisition cost-effectively. Although the acquisition cost for this segment is higher, it ultimately increases HubSpot's revenue and profitability, leading to an increase in the company's stock price and capital.
In an increasingly competitive market, FastCat is struggling to position itself in the wake of tremendous growth in the medical software industry. In order to increase profitability, reaffirm commitment of our employees, and maintain our status as a leader for small-medium size medical companies, a change is needed to remain competitive and innovative. While our products maintain a unique niche in the market, there are some questions as to whether our products will remain the most relevant in the future. We must expand our market to include new customers across the country, as well as new categories of medical providers, while maintaining hold of our current customers that may be in danger of being consumed by larger hospitals. In order to remain relevant in the market, we must find new ways to decrease cost to our customers while increasing value. This is also an exciting time in the software industry - huge growth is upon us, and we must be able to maintain a competitive advantage with our top-notch employees, so we must ensure their commitment to continue to work for us. Lastly, a large expense at this point is an issue with some of our service contracts - we have some customers that require more of our time and resources than is worth what we collect as revenue.
