ABSTRACT

If you travel back in time and found yourself in a small Lebanese village in 1390 's what would you find? Would you find a computer, or a mobile telephone, or a music player, or a television? Think for a moment how life would have been if you were to live in the 14th century. A lot of the items you use today are the result of the technology. The progress in technology has improved our lives. In the past, a developing nation was considered as the nation that has no access to the modern technology. Today, due to globalization, technology is available anywhere in this world.

The most important technologies that have a big impact on human lives are the information and communication technologies. These technologies include computers, mobile telephones, satellites, televisions...

    Tivo Marketing Case Analysis (Hbs)

    The disappointing sales performance during the Christmas 1999 season ended up being a priceless lesson for TiVo’s marketing team: it was the catalyst that created the need for a TiVo’s new communications strategy. However, defining this new marketing campaign was challenging, especially after the feedback received about the product indicated issues like limited awareness and hard-to-communicate functionalities. The main focus of this new marketing campaign is to select a positioning strategy that will speed up the adoption of TiVo among consumers. The marketing team has three options on how to position TiVo: 1) as an enhanced digital video recorder, 2) as a product that gives viewers the ability to create their own television network, 3) or as a super VCR.…
