Apprentice

My favorite episode from the Apprentice season 2 was when they had to figure out some type of dog business on the streets of  New York City. The task they were given was to think of something that would help dogs like grooming,walks, baths or clipping dogs nails that would also make them money. This task was about location, timing and also pricing. The leader of Mosaic was Wes and the team leader for Apex was Jennifer. The winning team was Apex which made a total profit of $307.41. Apex's reward for winning this task was they got to visit with mayor Bloomberg. On the other hand Mosaic lost with a total profit of $122.12. Wes brought Stacy and Andy with him in the boardroom and unfortunately Stacy got fired.  Stacy got fired because she always blames the project manager for everything and never owns up to anything. A business lesson I learned from this episode is "great things in business are never done by one person.They are done by a team of people." -Steve Jobs. What I learned from this episode is that the team leader has to listen to the other members of the team and not just do what they want all the time.

Coke Current Event

The current event that I found is about how Coke is starting to reduce the sugar content in some of their drinks. They want to make a healthier drink that will reach a different target market. People are starting to be more health conscious and this is how they will keep current customers and gain more. Coke made a promise that by 2025 they will reduce the calories in their drinks by 20% nationwide. COke is trying to promote their lower calorie drinks by making them 99 cents and they are also doing the buy one get one free at some places. Coke has also asked retailers to make bigger displays for lower-calorie drinks because they want to promote these products more.
