Innovative product (The Wii)

1) I think the Wii is an innovative product because it boasts powerful new motion-sensing controllers that make game play both more entertaining and more active. In specially designed games, such as the one you see at the beginning, you can use a stuffed animal to control the game.

SAP Distribution Game

1) After we finished the SAP Distribution Game, my team finished in third behind the T group and the teachers group.  Although we didn't have the most products sold, we were able to sell our products for more than most teams because we used great marketing techniques.  During the game I was in charge of changing the prices as we saw fit.
2) The SAP game was based solely on profit however in real life it isn't all about profit.  It also about marketing.  Businesses such as Nike and Adidas who have great marketing techniques are able to sell more products.
3) During the game I thought everything went well until the very end when some of the lemon spritz water weren't selling, but we kept restocking it anyways.  If we would have only restocked the products that were selling, we would have made a lot more profit.
4) I learned a bunch of things during this activity such as only restocking products that sell and how to market.

Apple Employee

During the beginning of the semester my attitude was that companies should not be able to fire people for things that they post on the internet.  After reading many different articles about the subject I have changed my mind.  I now believe that people should be able to get fired over things they say.  For example if you are scheduled to work, but you have tickets to go see a sports game and you call in sick and you post things on the internet, then you should definitely get fired.  In the the case with the Apple Employee, he should definitely be fired because he was talking negatively about his own store he worked in.
