Product Concept

The product that most appealed to me was the Rekkie smart snow goggles. The Rekkie snow goggles are goggles designed for skiers that feature a built in heads-up display. The display show information directly onto the goggle lens, providing the user with real time data like their speed, location of friends, unread text messages, music control, and answering phone calls. They emphasize that Rekkie is not a VR goggle and doesn’t block vision, but instead they utilize state of the are technology, like anti-fog and contrast boosting features to enhance the users experience. Currently Rekkie fills a gapin the market for skiers who want to use advanced technology intergrated into there goggles. Regular goggles dont offer the same level of information as Rekkie goggles, the product increases safety and is convenient for skiers since its hands free. The goggles can make skiing more enjoyable since you wont need to pull your phone out since the information will be on the goggles paired with the accompanying app. Consumers are likely to be attracted to Rekkie for its features, which offer a mix of technology and practicality specific to the skiing environment. The ability to monitor speed, stay connected with friends, and control music without removing goggles and pulling out a phone or device aligns with the convenience and safety preferences of skiers. Rekkie could be positioned as the go-to smart snow goggle for tech-savvy skiers who prioritize safety, connectivity, and advanced features. While Rekkie goggles are specifically designed for skiers, there may be potential for the product to cater to a broader audience beyond skiing like snowboarders, mountain climbers, photographers, search and rescue teams, military, and many more. Rekkie appears to be a promising product, meeting the demands of skiers by providing a unique blend of advanced features and state of the art lens technology. The success of Rekkie depends on effective marketing, and them continuing there innovation to meet evolving expectations.

Consumer Decision Making

I’m new to Salt Lake City, Utah and I’m looking for an Italian restaurant, the process of finding the right restaurant for me involves the numerous steps of the consumer decision-making process. First I need to take some things into account like is there any certain type of Italian food I want, am I looking for someplace casual or a place more upscale, am I looking to have the food delivered and what is my budget looking like.

Then the first stage of the consumer decision making process is Problem Recognition, and I would recognized that I am hungry and am looking for Italian takeout preferably pizza so I would need to find a place that does takeout and I also recognize that I recently moved so I am not familiar with the food options around me. So the second stage is an Information Search in which I went on google and searched for Italian restaurants in Salt Lake City, Utah and I found the website trip advisor which has a list of the 10 best Italian Restaurants in Salt Lake City, Utah. So I went through the list and chose the best restaurants based of the reviews and quality of food and the restaurants reputation. The Third step is evaluation of alternatives so I chose two that I would possibly eat from, Settebello Pizzeria and The Pie Pizzeria Underground and ultimately went with Settebello Pizzeria because it had over 800 reviews with majority of them being positive and they offered takeout which is what I was looking for.

I realized that the consumer decision making process includes research and evaluation of many criteria’s like food type, setting, reviews, and personal preferences and it ultimately helps out immensely when making decisions on things like choosing where you want to go out and eat. When it comes to comparing preferences to other consumers there are many things other individuals would prioritize based on their interests and preferences like some may want a fancy dining experience and some may just want something casual. But ultimately there is always multiple options for people to choose from based on there preferences and it can always be found and that shows the importance of the consumer decision making process.

For this assignment I chose a company that in this day and age almost everyone owns at least one product from. The massive technology company Apple Inc. has demonstrated a growing commitment in recent years to corporate social responsibility and to sustainable business practices. The company is aware of the impacts it has on a number of global issues like rights for workers, fair trade and the protection of the environment. These are things Apple is currently working on to better CSR and sustainable Business Practices.

First Apple is investing in renewable energy to power the company’s operations. The company have made significant progress in recent years in using clean energy in its corporate offices, retail stores, and centers. Apple have been in works with suppliers to assist with their switch to renewable energy sources. Overall the company’s dedication to renewable energy has lessened its impact on the environment. Another step Apple has taken is in its products, they have been making changes to help extend product lifecycle and they have lowered usage of hazardous materials and improved the energy efficiency of devices. These changes the company has been making is better for the environment and is a step in the right direction toward cutting down on electrical waste. Lastly Apple is dedicated to promoting inclusion and diversity inside the company. They have put in place programs to boost the number of underrepresented groups in its workplace especially women and people from various backgrounds. They also provide educational opportunities through programs like “Everyone Can Code”. I recommend that apple continues to do what they are doing by continuing renewable energy investments and encourage users of there products to make more conscious choices. Also they should continue to innovate in recyclable materials in products they manufacture. Finally they should continue to increase diversity in there leadership like management and boards of directors.

In conclusion, Apple Inc. is dedicated to sustainable business practices and corporate social responsibility and they demonstrate that through there efforts they’ve made in renewable energy, product alterations and diversity and inclusion. Apple is aware of its influence on the public and its future so they are making great moves to have a positive impact on the environment while making a positive contribution to society.
