B. CrossCultural Advertising Think about one of your favorite television advertisements. Describe the features that make the advertisement appealing to the American culture. Then using the cultures you researched in Activity A, determine whether the advertisement would have the same appeal in those cultures. Explain why or why not. Describe the adjustments that would have to be made to the advertisement to make a connection with the selected cultures. Be sure to consider both verbal and nonverbal communication aspects of the advertisement. Description of the U.S. advertisement: Answers will vary. For example, Susie’s Lemonade Verizon commercial shows young kids operating a successful business with the help of the latest technology offered by Verizon.

Using Japanese actors would make a better connection with the target audience.

Topic The U.S. government’s $15 trillion debt is growing every day. Weak economic conditions have resulted in unemployment rates of approximately 9 percent. All of these factors have resulted in low consumer confidence. Should the federal government collect more revenue to help pay off the country’s debt by raising taxes on all businesses earning more than $1 million annually? Be prepared to argue the affirmative, that yes, the tax rates for businesses earning more than $1 million annually should be raised to help tackle the national debt and help improve the economy; or be prepared to argue the negative, that no, the federal tax rates for businesses earning more than $1 million annually should not be raised to tackle the national debt and help improve the economy. Directions: Conduct research to determine the positive and negative consequences associated with raising the federal tax rate for businesses earning more than $1 million annually. Based on your research, prepare for your presentation by supplying supporting arguments for and against tax increases. Then answer the questions on the following pages to help prepare for the judge’s questions. List five supporting arguments for a tax increase. Answers will vary but could include the following: 1. Decreases the national deficit 2. Provides more money for government programs 3. Increases the amount of money available for the country’s infrastructure 4. Allows the government to make more purchases, which in turn stimulates the economy 5. Creates image of national financial stability in global marketplace

List five supporting arguments against a tax increase. Answers will vary but could include the following: 1. Discourages new businesses 2. Increases unemployment 3. Increases business uncertainty 4. Creates an unfriendly business environment 5. Reduces amount of money available for payroll and other business operations

Questions to Consider 1. How does the tax rate on businesses in the United States compare to the tax rate on businesses in other countries? Provide three examples. Answers will vary. The tax rate on businesses is higher in the United States than other countries. Examples will vary.

2. Why might U.S. businesses consider locating their operations in other countries if the federal tax rates are increased? Answers will vary. The top priority for any business is to make a profit. Increased federal tax rates cut into profits, leading businesses to locate to other countries where the tax rates are lower.

3. Why is it more attractive for politicians to raise taxes on businesses than on individuals? Answers will vary. Individuals elect politicians, and they are strongly against higher income taxes.

FBLA Emerging Business Issues Event

4. How could the increased business taxes have an impact on individuals? Answers will vary. Increased business taxes could result in less money available for businesses to pay employees. The number of unemployed individuals may increase because the businesses are spending more of their money on federal taxes. Businesses may begin cutting corners by using less expensive building materials, meaning customers get lower-quality products.

5. Why should businesses be concerned about the growing national debt? Answers will vary. Growing national debt makes it more difficult to conduct business internationally. The growing national debt could result in higher interest rates, which have a direct impact on businesses. A large national debt is generally associated with a weak economy, meaning consumers are less likely to make purchases.

6. Do you think politicians will experience any backlash if they increase the federal tax rate for businesses? If so, describe the possible backlash. Answers will vary. Politicians count heavily on political contributions from businesses. Businesses may stop making contributions if the politicians increase the federal tax rate.

Case Study You are the president of Nature’s Harvest, a major food-processing company that sells products throughout the world. Your company is proud of achieving a successful sales record while maintaining the highest ethical standards. One of your sales representatives (judge) has just informed you that a $25 million deal with a company in Brazil is possible. However, as is sometimes common with international business, the Brazilian company expects to be paid a bribe in return for its business. The bribe would cost $800,000, meaning your company would still make a $24.2 million profit. You must now make an important decision related to profits and ethics. You have scheduled a meeting with the sales representative in his/her office to discuss a strategy for acquiring the Brazilian company as a customer. You must keep in mind the foundation of your company (highquality products and high standards and ethics). © 2013 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part.

FBLA Marketing Event Directions: After reviewing the case study on the previous page, develop a solution to the problem on note cards. To prepare for the judges, answer the questions below. 1. What are business ethics? Answers will vary but should indicate that business ethics are moral principles concerning acceptable and unacceptable behavior by businesspeople. Businesspeople are supposed to maintain a high sense of integrity and conduct business honestly and fairly. 2. Because we live in a global economy, can businesses relax their ethics to maintain a fair advantage in the marketplace? Explain your answer. Answers will vary. Businesses have the responsibility to maintain consistent business ethics even when it may be more profitable to break the rules or ignore ethics.

3. What precedent will be set if Nature’s Harvest meets the bribery demands of Brazil? Answers will vary. Once a company breaks its code of business ethics, it sends a message that its business standards are unimportant when profits are at stake. The company loses credibility.

4. What competitive risks exist if Nature’s Harvest bypasses the business in Brazil? Answers will vary. Nature’s Harvest may lose its competitive edge in the international marketplace. However, if it offers a unique product that is in high demand worldwide, it can regain its competitive advantage and will have the upper hand in business dealings.

5. How do business ethics in other countries put U.S. businesses at a disadvantage? Answers will vary. Unfortunately, companies with lax or no business ethics may capture more international business, but their credibility in the marketplace and with the public may suffer, which could hurt business in the long run.

Assignment 1 (Continued) Sample Executive Summary Downtown South Sioux City, like many other small downtowns across America, is struggling to compete against large box stores. The goal of our project is to creatively market our downtown’s uniqueness and strengths. South Sioux City, Nebraska, is located in the northeast corner of Nebraska and borders Sioux City, Iowa. The population for the two cities is 95,000 residents. South Sioux City accounts for approximately 12,000 of the residents. South Sioux City has taken great pride in its vibrant historic downtown consisting of 48 businesses. A new Super Walmart has located less than a mile from South Sioux City’s downtown, which poses a serious threat because it offers products and services for a much lower price than those sold at the downtown businesses. Economic development and revitalization of downtown South Sioux City are necessary for the community to renew itself and grow. The decline of the downtown area is contributing to the loss of small businesses, jobs, and quality of life. Procedures and Research Methods Used Using both primary and secondary research, we were able to gather information necessary for our project. We worked closely with the South Sioux City Chamber of Commerce to collect much of the secondary research for our project. Our main source of primary data was a survey that we distributed to local residents. The survey was distributed at local community events and made available on the South Sioux City website. We received 425 complete surveys from local community members. The survey asked questions regarding demographic and psychographic information. Findings and Conclusions The 425 completed surveys provided valuable information about downtown customers and other community members. Using data from the 425 completed surveys, we made the following conclusions: •

20% of those surveyed shop downtown 2-3 times a week

•

48% of downtown shoppers are influenced by customer service

•

85% of those surveyed were aware of the major downtown summer, fall, spring, and winter festivals

•

90% of those surveyed had already visited the new Super Walmart

•

60% of those surveyed are likely to attend downtown community events/festivals

Recommendations We recommend that the downtown businesses utilize the four season festivals to increase customer traffic. The businesses can work collectively to promote the downtown as a whole. The suggested theme for the campaign is “Experience Exceptional Customer Service: Shop Downtown South Sioux City.” Based on our research, we recommend that the Chamber of Commerce use social networking methods to stay in touch with residents. We highly recommend that downtown businesses continue to host celebrations and incorporate special promotional activities during the downtown events. To increase customer loyalty downtown, we recommend the “South Sioux City Downtown” card that would reward customers with $20 bonus bucks to use in downtown South Sioux City. The bonus bucks would be earned after individuals spend a total of $100 in downtown businesses. We recommend that the downtown merchants offer unique incentives and personalized events that large box stores like Walmart cannot offer. The new marketing campaign will run during the months of April, June, October, and December.

Name_________________________________________

Assignment 3: The Press Release Directions: You have been asked to prepare a press release to send to all of the major newspapers across the United States that will inform the public about Super Brand’s support of a special cause or charity. Read about the information that should be included in a press release, as described below. Then write your own press release on a separate sheet of paper. Headline (Title of Press Release) The summary paragraph for the press release is like the executive summary for a business proposal or advertising campaign. This paragraph should not repeat the headline, but it should give the reader a reason to continue reading the rest of the press release. City, State, Date – The first paragraph, referred to as the lead, contains the most important information. This paragraph should grab the reader’s attention. You should not assume that the reader has read the headline or summary paragraph; the lead should stand on its own. A press release, like a news story, keeps sentences and paragraphs short, about three or four lines per paragraph. The first paragraphs should cover the who, what, when, where, why, and how questions. The rest of the news release expands the information provided in the lead paragraph. It includes quotes from key organizers, customers, or business leaders. It contains more details about the special public relations event. The last paragraph of the news release should restate and summarize the key points. Finish the press release with a short paragraph containing background information about the company followed by the contact person's name and phone number, as shown below. Instead of including an e-mail address, direct readers to the company’s website. Contact: Name Super Brand Telephone Number http://www.SuperBrand.com

Students’ press releases should capture the attention of the intended target audience. The press release should announce the event, explain a company’s or individual’s involvement in the PR project, and highlight the positive results expected as a result of the project.

Topic An increasing number of business travelers are looking for ways to mix business with leisure and family fun. By doing so, business travelers often can reduce family vacation costs. When business travelers’ expenses are paid by their employers, family members can take advantage of a “free” hotel room and rental car. You take care of all business travel arrangements for Telecommute Corporation. Many of the company’s 2,000 employees are required to travel up to 24 times throughout the year. Because the company has always stressed the importance of family, it approves of family members traveling with employees on business trips and staying in hotels paid for by the company. However, employees are responsible for keeping business expenses separated from family vacation expenses. The CEO for Telecommute Corporation has asked you to devise a strategy that combines business travel and family vacations as a fringe benefit to employees. You must determine what extra perks the company is willing to offer family members who travel with company employees. You must also explain an efficient accounting system employees can use to track business expenses and family vacation expenses separately. Prepare an electronic presentation to explain your recommended strategies. © 2013 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

To prepare for your interaction with the judge(s), answer the following questions. 1. Why is it a good idea to combine business travel with family travel as a fringe benefit? Answers will vary. Business executives appreciate having the opportunity to spend more time with family during their business travels. A company that mixes business and family travel earns a family-friendly reputation.

2. What other services or perks can be offered to make the business trip/family vacation more enticing? Answers will vary. Other perks could include having the employees pay only a percentage of the cost of the room when their family travels with them. The company could offer families vacation activity packages for special prices.

3. How can combining business trips and family vacations benefit both the employee and the company? Answers will vary. The company benefits by having more highly motivated employees, who look forward to business trips with their families. Employees can enjoy time with their families during business travel.

4. What is the most efficient way for employees to track business expenses and keep them separate from vacation expenses incurred on the same trip? Answers will vary. A computer program can be designed to help employees track and record expenses. Codes can be applied to business and vacation expenses to help separate them.

Assignment 1 (Continued) Sample Executive Summary Art F/X is a full-service, one-stop apparel screen-printing and embroidery company. Art F/X can design, develop, scan, prep, digitize, and produce the final product without the customer leaving his or her office or home. Art F/X wants to increase the presence of its college merchandise at major university campuses across the country. Prices charged for merchandise produced by Art F/X are generally more reasonable than comparable merchandise produced by nationally recognized manufacturers of sporting goods. Art F/X is dedicated to providing clients with the highest-quality, screen-printed and embroidered products. This means having a highly trained and knowledgeable staff, using the latest equipment, and staying on top of the latest industry and fashion trends. Graphics can be reproduced on almost any item using today’s technology. Over the years, sales at Art F/X have increased dramatically because the Art F/X philosophy is based upon great designs, quality production, excellent customer service, unlimited choices of designs and garments, and quick turnaround times. Art F/X faces the challenge of developing an advertising campaign to outperform the competition. Obstacles The market is cluttered with producers of collegiate merchandise. Many of the nationally recognized companies use mass production to supply merchandise to bookstores and specialty shops located on campuses throughout the country. Since Art F/X has limited finances, the advertising campaign’s budget will be limited to $12,500. Objectives •

Increase merchandise sales at university bookstores and specialty shops by 20 percent.

•

Create an effective national advertising campaign for Art F/X.

•

Make retailers aware of the specialty products and quick turnaround times for orders offered by Art F/X. Because Art F/X has the licensing rights to the logos and names of 60 major universities, the company is equipped to meet merchandise needs for bookstores and specialty shops located on campuses throughout the country.

Target Market This campaign’s primary market is university bookstores that sell collegiate specialty goods, ranging from shirts and caps to flags and home décor. Advertising Media Selection Print

Media Description Develop advertisements for major university sports publications.

Online

Create a website that has greater national presence and showcases merchandise on Facebook and YouTube.

Guerilla Advertising (Flyers)

Supply flyers to university organizations and bookstores to advertise customized merchandise.

Budget The total budget for this campaign is $12,500. The percentage break down of this budget is as follows: print advertising–80 percent; guerilla advertising–12 percent; online advertising–8 percent. Benefits to Art F/X With this advertising campaign, Art F/X will target the primary market (university bookstores and specialty stores) as well as other sporting goods stores through the use of the print, Internet, and other advertising media. Three important benefits that this advertising campaign will provide Art F/X include the following: • • •

expansion of brand awareness throughout the country increased customized sales in an expanded market increased overall sales of 20 percent or $640,000

Secondary markets are smaller markets that also have an interest in your client’s products or services. As an example, the primary target market for Art F/X includes university bookstore managers because the objective is to sell more customized merchandise representing universities. A secondary target market includes sporting goods store managers because their businesses also sell collegiate merchandise. Complete the tables that follow by gathering details about your primary and secondary target markets. Then compose Part IV (Identification of the Target Market) of your advertising campaign. Primary Target Market: Characteristic

Also, the objective(s) of the advertising campaign must be considered when scheduling advertisements. Using the questions below, interview the person who owns/manages the business you have selected for this project to determine the busiest and slowest business cycles during the year. As an alternative, conduct research about the industry to determine typical busy and slow times. On the next page, complete the table to outline the advertisements you have planned for the business.

Answers will vary. Again, seasonal businesses will experience a downturn in business at certain times of the year. Other businesses may not experience a drastic downturn in business, but still will be slower at certain times.

3. Based on the company’s business cycle and the objectives you outlined in Assignment 3, when are the six best times to implement the advertising campaign? Answers will vary. Advertising campaigns may be run during busy times of the year to reach out to target customers who may be unaware of the business.

Assignment 1: Executive Summary Directions: The executive summary provides a brief synopsis of the key points and strengths outlined in the business plan. A sample executive summary is provided below. Select a company for your business plan proposal and then complete the table on the next page for the company you selected. Use this information to compose the executive summary. (HINT: Although the executive summary is the first part of your business plan, it should be written after the other parts have been completed because it is a restatement of the most important points made in the other parts of the business plan.) Sample Executive Summary Valentino’s is a successful Italian restaurant that first opened in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1957. Valentino's success began with Val and Zena Weiler’s family recipes that were passed on to the new owners when the business changed hands in 1971. However, there's more than recipes to this story. High-quality food, reasonable prices, immaculately clean and comfortable surroundings, and genuinely friendly service are also keys to Valentino’s success. Valentino’s written corporate creed is "community service is as important as the quality of the food," making Valentino's popular among its patrons. Valentino’s has shipped pizza to every corner of the continental United States; to university alumni gatherings in Washington D.C.; to hungry, nostalgic, ex-collegians in Arizona who want a delectable Christmas present; as well as to Alaska and Japan. Valentino's success is a reflection of its owners and employees and their commitment to excellence. The restaurant’s staff constantly strives to continue a successful tradition. Today, Valentino's is ready to expand by opening a restaurant in a new location. As the owners of Valentino’s restaurant, we plan to open another location in a college community with a population of 100,000 people. We will apply our skill set developed over the past 40 years to ensure the success of the new Valentino’s location. We have the resources, experience, and marketing tools needed to open and operate another restaurant. Valentino’s has a track record of satisfying its target market—college communities. Valentino’s offers products and services at a price that is affordable to its target market.

All financial amounts must be presented honestly and conservatively. To learn more about realistic financial figures for your business, you can do an online search for projected startup costs and financial statements for businesses in the same industry you have chosen. Startup costs are those costs associated with beginning a business, including the costs of renting or buying a facility, equipping the business, and purchasing inventory. Sample startup costs are listed below. Record the projected startup costs for your business. (Note: Your business may not have all of the startup costs listed.) Also, list the sources of capital for your business, such as loans from family members, friends, investors, banks, and so forth. The two most common financial documents for businesses are the balance sheet (showing assets and liabilities) and income statement (showing income, expenses, and net profit/loss). (See examples of a balance sheet and income statement in Chapter 12 of your textbook.) On the next page, complete the tables to help you create a projected balance sheet and income statement. Use all of the financial information gathered to compose the Financials section of your business plan. Projected Startup Costs: Building Rent payment Loan payment Equipment: Computer Scanner Printer Cash register Other Supplies Furniture and Fixtures: Desk Chair Lights Other Delivery vehicle Inventory Materials needed to make the products sold to customers Materials needed to provide service to customers Legal fees Miscellaneous costs Total Startup Costs
