One way that manufacturers can reduce the price of a product is by decreasing the warehousing and transportation costs using the demand and inventory planning techniques discussed in Section 6.6 of the main text. This adds value to the customer.

TOPIC 3: Warehouse & Transportation

One way that manufacturers can reduce the price of a product is by decreasing the warehousing and transportation costs using the demand and inventory planning techniques discussed in Section 6.6 of the main text. This adds value to the customer.

Warehousing and transportation tends to be outsourced by most manufacturers so they don’t have to develop those core competencies. Sometimes the warehousing or transportation channel member becomes the channel leader.

Can you think of an example of a product for which the warehouse or the method of transportation is the channel leader? You might need to do a little web searching to find examples. Think creatively for both online delivery and physical delivery.

Comment on at least one (1) classmate’s post and use a minimum of one (1) reference to support your remarks.

Pick a product for one of the three distribution strategies. Note your product and the distribution strategy, and then discuss why you feel the distribution strategy is most appropriate for that product based on the factors listed above.

TOPIC 2: Channel Strategies

This section of the readings explains the three generic distribution strategies:

  • Intensive
  • Selective
  • Exclusive

The choice of which of these distribution strategies would be best for any given product depends on those factors outlined in the readings as follows:

  • Type of customer
  • Type of product
  • Channel partner capabilities
  • Business environment and technology
  • Competing products’ marketing channels

Pick a product for one of the three distribution strategies. Note your product and the distribution strategy, and then discuss why you feel the distribution strategy is most appropriate for that product based on the factors listed above.

For example, Lexus automobiles are distributed selectively. Customers tend to be upper middle class who want an affordable (as they define it) luxury car that is highly dependable. Because of the service component, dealerships need to be all-inclusive for services needed for a Lexus and be as close to their target market as possible, e.g., upscale neighborhoods. But because Lexus is a car dealership, it can’t be directly located in an upscale neighborhood. The car dealer needs to be able to serve a geographic area that is easy to reach and where customers are willing to drive, and the best choice may be locations visible from highways driven by upscale members of the target market as they drive between home, work, and errands. A Lexus dealership wants to be located near competitive offerings to ensure the target market considers Lexus. It also makes it easy to shop the competition and to increase the value of the brand by being associated with like products. Do not use Lexus!

Do the same type of description for each of the three distribution strategies with a product of your choice.

Comment on at least two of your classmates’ postings and use a minimum of at least two (2) references to support your discussion.

Choose one of the pricing approaches and discuss the product, the pricing approach, and why you think it is the most appropriate approach for that particular product given your consumer characteristics. Be sure you understand the definition of your approach before tackling this topic.

TOPIC 4: Pricing Strategies

The readings suggest there are certain strategies for pricing new products, which is decidedly more difficult than adjusting prices to existing products. The new product pricing approaches are:

  • Skimming
  • Penetration
  • Everyday low prices

The pricing approaches discussed for existing products are:

  • Cost plus
  • Markup
  • Markdown
  • Odd-even pricing
  • Prestige pricing
  • Price lining
  • Demand backward pricing
  • Leader pricing
  • Sealed bid pricing
  • Going-rate pricing
  • Price bundling
  • Captive pricing
  • Product mix pricing
  • Two-part pricing
  • Promotional pricing

There is no shortage of pricing approaches, and as customers, we are exposed to all of them at some time or another in our purchasing processes.

Choose one of the pricing approaches and discuss the product, the pricing approach, and why you think it is the most appropriate approach for that particular product given your consumer characteristics. Be sure you understand the definition of your approach before tackling this topic.

Many of you will be tempted to use promotional pricing since it is the easiest to demonstrate. So promotional pricing is not “for sale” (pun intended). Pick one of the other approaches for this topic.

Comment on at least two (2) your classmates’ posts, especially where you note that you as a consumer may have picked a different approach. Remember, there are no rights or wrongs in this topic. Each of us as consumers can view pricing differently. Use at least one (1) reference to support your remarks.

Ms. G is a forty-six-year-old Caucasian female charged with burglary. She was arrested for the offense after she was found by the police with her neighbor’s property.

/in /by

Ms. G is a forty-six-year-old Caucasian female charged with burglary. She was arrested for the offense after she was found by the police with her neighbor’s property. She was intoxicated and in possession of drugs at the time of the arrest. She also was belligerent and combative and surprised that she was being accused of a crime. She initiated a physical altercation with the police and was immediately taken into custody with the highest level of constraint to protect her and the officers from potential harm. The officers’ report indicated that Ms. G was irritable, assaultive, hyperactive, and irrational when they approached her. She was also unable to engage in conversation and believed the officers were attempting to poison her. Her energy level was excessively high, and she emphatically stated that she knew the mayor personally and would have the officers and prosecutor incarcerated for accusing her of this crime. She refused defense counsel and insisted on speaking to the judge before her pretrial. While incarcerated, she rallied the other inmates to protest the rules and initiated a hunger strike. She became more paranoid while in the holding cell, suggesting that the police planted drugs on her and were attempting to locate and kill her only remaining family member. They were, in fact, attempting to contact her brother to gather information on her mental health. Her brother provided them with relevant family history. He indicated that Ms. G had lost her parents at an early age and was separated from her brother when they went into foster care. Her brother had had minimal contact with her from the time she was four years old until she turned eighteen and found him with the help of a private investigator. They maintained only intermittent contact because Ms. G was transient, moving around the country on a regular basis. She held odd jobs, sold drugs, and lived with boyfriends to survive. To her brother’s knowledge, Ms. G had never received any mental health treatment. She also denied a history treatment. She refused to speak with the police about her charges and personal history.

Ms. G faces a trial for her offense because she refused a plea bargain. She also refused defense counsel when it was offered.

Determine what type of forensic assessment would be most appropriate for this case and discuss the rationale for your decision.

Your choices are:

  • Competency to stand trial
  • Substance abuse evaluation
  • Not guilty by reason of insanity
  • Mental health treatment evaluation
