Andrei [34K]3 years ago

Answer a:

Clearly, Xerox had one major issue concerning its marketing environment.

Due to technological changes, i's primary market was shifting and changing. Xerox didn't see it. Perhaps they did and decided it (the changes that is) not

Explanation:

One keyword or practice or culture or capability that was missing in Xerox was adaptability. Had they envisaged the future and created some internal structure to gradually cater to the changing requirements of their client base, they'd probably still be in business today.

So in a way, it wasn't really the change in the market that affected Xerox. It was Xerox' inability to respond to such changes that did it in. At some point, it became apparent to investors that Xerox was incapable to move with the next tide. They withdrew their funds, sold their shares and the rest is history.

Answer b:

The major area that affected how Xerox conducted business is the technology enviriomment.

Explanation

Due to the availability of technology which made it possible, peoples mindset were beginning to shift from keeping hard copies and or duplicating them to keeping electronic copies.

Two things made this idea very attractive:

1. It reduced cost greatly. In every era, cost reduction has always been an attractive business proposition for companies in any sector or subsector. As firms discovered they could cut down by keeping electronic copies of their documents, the idea quickly caught on. And so did the profits made by the renowned copier decline.

2. Another factor strenghtened the decline in making and keeping hard copies of documents is the ideology that the more papers we made, the more we were damaging our environment.

Companies that quickly adjusted even used their paper reduction efforts as a unique selling marketing proposition.

Cheers

The members of the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) must follow their Model Rule which prohibits investment adviser firms from guaranteeing investment results, in other words they cannot guarantee a minimum profit.

In this case the employee suggested that if their clients didn't earn a minimum 12% profit, then they would refund any fees collected. But the IA firm is not allowed to guarantee the 12% value increase or profit.

Which of the following is/are tactics used by interest groups to influence public opinion? Publicizing voting records of members
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Publicizing Voting Records and Publishing Research.

Explanation:

As they seek to influence the public opinion and not the government in this question, lobbying would be out as it is a tactic to influence congress members directly and not the public. Publishing voting records could be a valid tactic if said vote records were in favor of the group interest. Funding and publishing research is a valid tactic as well because it serves as a platform to get facts and data to the public, influencing its decision (in the scenario a research findings benefits the interest groups vision, obviously).
