My cup of tea

One thing that I really enjoy doing is taking a good drive on a sunny day.  Weather in Vancouver can be so warm and relaxing, so what’s better than pairing my driving with awesome music. Cruising to good music is my ultimate relaxation!

Upcoming Event: World Expo 2010 Shanghai

Shanghai can be considered as my third home and I am proud to say that the next World Expo 2010 will be held in Shanghai China. The event will take place from May 1 – October 31, 2010. It is expected to generate the largest number of visitors in the history of the world’s fairs in terms of gross numbers. This will be an event where all the countries of the world will gather and showcase their lastest innovative technologies. Here is an official preview of the World Expo 2010.

A new highly sophisticated online version of the Expo 2010 will also be introduced for the first time in history. Here is a video of the Shanghai 2010 World Expo “Online Expo” official preview.

Canty International

This is another case study which we worked on for marketing. For this case we had to devise a pricing strategy for Canty International, an imaginary company, for its new wall covering product. In this case, we had to analyze the different possibilities for our pricing and to take variable factors in to account. In the end, our price must not only maximize profit for Canty International, but to also satisfy its customers.

Blackberry’s Rise in Brand Power

This is a case study which we did for Marketing. It analyzes the market for smart phones in which case Apple’s iPhone dominates the North American smart phone market shares. On the other hand, Symbian dominates the European and Asian market shares for smart phone operating systems. Under these circumstances, we were to analyze the market and to devise a solution and plan of action for Research In Motion to help its Blackberries to gain brand power.
