President’s Day Shopping and Using The Necessary Tools
With President’s Day this weekend and tax returns coming very soon, we have learned an arsenal of tools to assist us in these endeavors. Our lectures on quality control, product life-cycle, and marketing techniques will be an asset during your research/shopping.
You have set aside $3000 for shopping for presents for you or friends/family….it is up to you. Your task this week is to “purchase” the following:
-2 Household items (examples are vacuum, furniture, kitchen counter-top appliances, etc.)
-2 Electronic Items (televisions, computers, cameras, and other related items)
-2 Clothing Items (any)
-2 Power/Hand tools (any)
-2 items of your choice
You may use actual store’s add prices, a big-box store’s web page, or newspaper ads to obtain purchase price, model number, color, size, etc. Please include photocopies/printed copies of all prices/product information.
Your final submission is to include an itemized final price list of all 10 “purchased” items and also include who they are for. Did you factor-in quality ratings? (6-sigma, etc.) Product/company reputation? List the current product lifecycle of each item (in your opinion) and did this influence your decision/selection(s)? Has your overall approach in choosing products changed since taking our class?
Please include at least a half-page (not two or three sentences), with a summary/conclusion of your findings and any information that you feel relevant.
