Sun TV sells TV sets. It does not sell smart TVs so customers do not come to Sun TV if they want to purchase smart TVs. Sun TV wants to start selling smart TVs and will only sell smart TVs to customers to whom they advertise. Managers use customer information (income level, previous purchase history) to decide which customers they should target. The team needs to decide how sure it must be in predicting customer interest in a smart TV. If it is too cautious, it will choose a very high cutoff probability and only market to customers who it believes are very likely to be in the market for a smart TV. This may cause them to miss out on many customers. If they are too aggressive and choose a low cutoff probability, they may identify more individuals interested in buying smart TVs but also end up wasting marketing dollars on customers who are not interested in purchasing smart TVs. To choose a cutoff probability, the team develops the confusion matrices below for two cutoff probabilities on…

Use the following information to answer multiple-choice Questions 21 to 30. A fibre glass company is considering the possibility of introducing a new product. Because of the expense involved in developing the initial moulds and acquiring the necessary equipment to produce fibreglass, it has decided to conduct a pilot study to make sure that the market will be adequate. They estimate that the pilot study will cost £12,000. Furthermore, the pilot study can be either successful or unsuccessful. The basic decisions are to build a large manufacturing facility, a small manufacturing facility, or no facility at all. With a favourable market, the company can expect to make £100,000 from the large facility or £60,000 from the smaller facility. If the market is unfavourable, however, they estimate that they would lose £40,000 with a large facility, while they would lose only £30,000 with the small facility. The company estimates that the probability of a favourable market given a successful…

An entrepreneur has embarked on a project to use human hair in place of animal furs in a clothing line. The human hair is to be woven into cotton fabrics, to make a hybrid fabric, that can be used as a thermal insulating fabric (i.e., it keeps persons warm). To increase the probability of sales the hybrid fabric must be dyed in various colors. Provide advice to the entrepreneur on what approaches should/could be taken to dye the new hybrid fabric. In your advice discuss the requirements of the dyes to be used, why hair dyes would not be a good option and how the dye(s) you suggest would work in the application based on the structure/properties of the fabric.

IBM Global Center for Smarter Analytics Case Analysis 7: Hamilton County dropout rates and lagging performance required the county to address these problems on the individual student level. Department of Education But that meant first finding the students who needed help, and doing so before their problems led them to drop out of the Hamilton County school system. At the end of the day, there's no one better positioned to sense when the student is in academic trouble than a teacher or counselor with whom students have a direct relationship. The trouble is, warning signs are often complex and cumulative in nature, thus escaping the notice of frontline educators and administrators. Add to that the everyday challenges of running a classroom, and it's all the more understandable how problem students can fly “under the radar" until it's too late. PARIMENT ZONE TEDUCATION Kelly recognized that early detection of at-risk students required a more multidimensional view of their progress,…

An information system (IS) auditor was asked to review the alignment between information technology (IT) and business goals for Cachero, a small but rapidly growing financial institution. The IS auditor requested information including business and IT goals and objectives; however, these were limited to a short, bulleted list for business goals and PowerPoint slides used in reporting meetings for IT goals. It was also found in the documentation provided that over the past two (2) years, the risk management committee (composed of senior management) met on only three (3) occasions, and no minutes of what was discussed were kept for these meetings. When the IT budget for the upcoming year was compared to the strategic plans for IT, it was noted that several of the initiatives mentioned in the plans for the upcoming year were not included in the budget for that year. The IS auditor also discovered that Cachero does not have a full-time chief information officer (CIO). The organizational…

The president of a small chain of women’s clothing stores was concerned about a four-year trend of decreasing profits. The stores have been characterized as being rather conservative over the years with respect to their product line, store decor, and advertising. They have consistently avoided trendy clothes, for example. Their market is now becoming extremely competitive because several aggressive fashion stores are expanding and are aiming at the young, fashion-conscious buyer. As a result of this competition and the disappointing profit trend, the president is considering making the product line appear less conservative and more oriented toward the young buyer. Before making such a risky change, the president feels it prudent to conduct some marketing research to learn the exact status of his chain. What should be the research purpose? Compose a set of research questions that would be helpful.
