According to the whole case, we can see, strategies of McCoy and Jung are similar, but there are some specific differences. For Jung’s strategies, she just have a few are fit the

In addition, her strategy also makes Avon in a state of competition with other mass-market companies, but Avon did not have that capacity. For Jung, her high-end products line should be fit the situation, but in fact, in the specific implementation process, the strategy’s effect is discounted too much because they spend more money and time on the product and new marketing, but ignore their main customers-women.
For McCoy’s strategy, I think it dose fit the situation, because her strategy is aimed at some mistake of previous strategy. She continue to take high-end strategy, but not so premium. She lays stress on the point about how to gain customers. Also, she make Avon’s core strategy return to push market strategy and reintroduce direct sales style. Now, McCoy’s attitude is to beat other competitions, which also are direct seller. Moreover, she also thinks Avon should be to re-train and empower the existing sales representatives, base on Avon’s successful 125-year sales experience.
According to above analysis, I can give a few suggestions to improve MoCoy’s strategic plans. First, McCoy should put the target market on United Stated, but simultaneously ensure their strategies are ethnocentrism because over eighty percent of Avon’s sales in an international market. Secondly, McCoy turned to the development of Avon’s sales representative, because if a company’s selling is

World War One was an unforgettable era. The war stole millions of lives from both sides who fought. It rattled citizen’s faith in their country. People lost brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers. It was an era that is buried in people’s minds and they may never forget it.
“Marketing strategies can have a broad impact on the business in terms of instilling a marketing orientation among all those in the firm: the way of thinking or philosophy of the whole organization. However, marketing strategies can alternatively be seen as dealing only with the development of competitive advantages directly associated with the marketing function such as customer loyalty and distribution channel control. In the latter case, the domain is sometimes even further restricted by sole attention to the various element of the marketing mix rather than the more general issues of customer and channel relationships. There are two key
It has always been assumed that anyone in management, particularly the CEO, is a leader. However, there has been controversy over this assumption. While management involves the promotion of stability and enabling the smooth running of an organization, leadership is a process of influencing others and facilitating individual and collective efforts to accomplish shared objectives (Boone & Makhani, 2012). Leadership literature and practice consists of numerous approaches and it is by understanding the role that an individual leader plays in an organization that leadership?s effectiveness or ineffectiveness can be explained. Jung?s case study confirms what many scholars articulate in relation to the importance of leadership. This paper seeks to look at Andrea Jung?s leadership style and approaches to leadership in relation to the qualities associated with effective leadership as Avon?s CEO. Traits play a central role in differentiating between leaders and non-leaders and in predicting leadership and organizational outcomes.

The company is in need of a turn around plan to gain the advantage over their competitors. The company is under two different investigations to find out if the company bribed officials overseas from Latin, and China. Jung is working on a long-term plan to fix the problems that the company is suffering from today. Jung is determined to build a plan to help Avon recover from the missteps the company has suffered from by the first quarter. Jung was giving overseas managers too much independence. This caused Jung to lose the organizational structure of the companies overseas. Instead of trying to grow as a company "the managers were designing products that would benefit their own divisions." (Jones, G. R. & George, J. M. (2011). Contemporary Management: A Manager 's Challenge. New York, NY McGraw-Hill/Irwin.) Designing their own product caused more work for the managers and the managers would hire more people not thinking about the outcome of the company paying out more money for the extra managers they hired. The managers were not using the resources the company had and had caused some of the drop in profits. The decisions on hiring management should be a global decision, in which Jung is prepared to change. The company still supports Jung and the decision 's that she is making so she can gain the advantage of their competitors and repair the problems at the Fortune 500 Company. Jung still remains CEO of Avon today.
He mentions that someone who is not influenced by either of their work would be better at distinguishing the differences. Jung (1933) believes that Freud’s work, which focuses heavily on sexuality, comes from what he has noticed in himself. He goes on to say that Freud’s teachings are biased because its validity is stuck in what he calls “the neurotic states of the mind” (p. 135). Jung argued that one of Freud’s biggest mistakes was to not include philosophy and its criticism in his work. While he disagrees with much of Freud’s work, he does go on to explain that he agrees with Freud on ego. He explains that ego does house our fears, but argues that this is only the case if it does not go back to the father and mother archetypes (p. 132, 134-135, 141). The relationship between Jung and Freud ended in 1913 and it was also at this time when Jung left the University of Zürich (Jung, 1971; Jung & Storr,
Avon Corporation In order to begin to understand the industry in which Avon functions as well as the specifics around the introduction of the new EAS drive, I used the 5Cs analysis to outline the company’s current situation. Situation Analysis via the 5Cs:
Nobody truly knows what is the main cause of depression, but there are several factors that play a huge roles in increasing the risk of developing depression. To start with, different types of abuse can impact Clinical Depression. For instance, past sexual, emotional, or physical abuse can increase one’s vulnerability to Clinical Depression later in life. Furthermore, substance abuse of different drugs and alcohol can trigger depression in some people. According to WebMD, “30% of people with substance abuse problems also have Clinical Depression.” ("What Is Depression?"). In addition to various types of abuse, one’s social life could impact their perspective in which they see themselves. This can be a result of isolation from mental illnesses
I believe that the fundamentals and criteria of my strategic approach were pointing in the right direction. I assumed that the high growth potential market was for
As of November 1999, Avon was experiencing economic troubles. Avon's growth rate of annual sales was less than 1.5 percent during the greatest economic boom in history. This prompted a transfer in leadership which appointed Andrea Jung as CEO. Since that time, Avon has experienced remarkable growth.
Freud and Jung long lasting friendship for many years, Jung was junior partner of freud. Jung gained very abroad learning from freud's theories. As time grew Jung gained his own understand and also came to reject some of Freud's theories. Jung devolped his own method of psychology, Jung called his method of psychology analytical. Analytical using or skilled in using analysis for break down of the meaning is separating a whole intellectual or substantial into its elemental parts or basic principles. The essential contrasts in the middle of Jung and Freud are fascinating to observe.A primary split which isolates the two specialists relates to religion. Freud felt religion was a getaway and a misrepresentation, which should not to be engendered.His
