best business of the year

Olive Garden is a family of more than 750 local restaurants committed to providing every guest with a genuine Italian dining experience. It’s what we like to callHospitaliano!: our passion for 100% guest delight.

As part of that commitment, we’re proud to serve fresh, delicious Italian food served in a comfortable, home-like setting where everyone is welcomed as a member of our family.

Our Story

Italy is the inspiration behind our restaurants, from the ingredients we use to our award-winning wine list. Most of all, we are inspired by the Italian culture – warmth, genuine hospitality and the importance placed on family.

I chose this as the best business of the year 2011 and all the other years, because it's my favourite restaurant that has the best food, their food is delicious and they have good costumer services.

Coke vs Pepsi

Share your expertise about a product worth using - take sides on a product war. Mac vs PC or Pepsi vs Coke comes to mind. Look at the two products websites, which one is better? Why?


we all know that both Pepsi and coke-cola are garbage, But at least one a bit better than another. 
For a fact both Pepsi and cola are soft drinks that are very similar when it comes to flavour.

I personally prefer coke cola better than Pepsi because when you drink cola you feel more like cola flavour in it but Pepsi feels sweeter and it leaves chemical taste in your mouth after you drink it.

Say Thanks

Think about something that you use (a product you enjoy) and say thanks to the company.

A product that I like using and enjoy using it is my Iphone. I would like to thanks the Apple.

Iphone is a very smart phone. Iphone can be really helpful and you can use it for different purposes. Iphone is just a small computer, you can use the internet on it, maybe bored play some games, or listen to some of your nice music, or maybe just to call or text someone. So thanks to Apple for the fun creative Iphone. 
And I can't wait till the Iphone5 is out.

Answer questions in terms of business studies:

1. There has been debate over if this movie is genuine or a "mockumentary". What do you think? If it was a mockumentary - why would Bansky do this?

I think this movie is genuine, because it's real, and not meant to be just a joke or to mock anyone, just showing the great art and the main point of every art peace that the Bansky created. 
2. What do you think the street artists are trying to get across to the public with their graffiti?
How can you tell they were effective?

they are trying to show how the world is mean, harsh, small and surrounded by harming, ignorant people. and people just want to be free, enough wars. It was effective because people liked their art peaces and they were paying a lot for it . 
3. What do you think that Mr. Brain Wash was trying to get across to the public with his art? Was he effective?

even if you did not create a particular genre, you are still able to try and perfect it, it was effective because people liked his show and they paid a lot of money by buying his art peaces. 
4. What do you see as the key differences between the street artists work and MBW's work?
street art is what the artiest think and represent through their art and has a big message to it. 

MBW's work is an image doesn't always has a message just an image of art. 

5. At the end of the show lots of people showed up to the art show.  Why the long line? What brought so many people together?

because Bansky and Fairy put their names on it. 

6. Graffiti: Is it art or vandalism? How would you react to someone painting on your wall? What similarities do you see between graffiti and guerilla marketing? Where is the line for Shepard Fairey or Banksy, when they move from making art against the mainstream machines into making money off of their art from the mainstream machines? Did they sell out or did they achieve success?

it's both art and vandalism, if it was a nice paint i wouldn't mind it, or don't mind them express them self, but if it was something creepy and weird i would mind. at first they had a belief and they were making their art peaces out of it, then people start to like their art message so people were buying it and it achieved a great success, even though it was not mad for profits.

Holidays fashion

All of the following products can be found on-line.




Festive Colors and Pattern Options    Festive hues of red, white, green, and black are always appropriate. This year, we've seen a lot of pattern combinations as well -- velvet and lace, sombre colors, and baby dolls. 

Leather and FurLeather is back in the form of skirts, jackets, pants, and even accessories. Fur vests are in as well. 

Classic Black and WhiteNot much movement in formal attire trends, except to say that playful combinations are vogue-ish. Plaids and polka dots are very in.

Red Tights The three must-haves are brown, black, and grey opaque. Red tights are a playful option for holiday parties.

Big, Big BroochesOversized brooches and rings are a great complement to sheer tights and slim looks.

Bold Belts A dramatically-colored belt is the perfect transition piece during the holidays.

Overstated Necklaces The perfect update to your little black dress. Piece in bold gold make for a strong fashion investment.

Bags with Chain Handles Funky hardware adds zest, especially at a semi-formal holiday party.

Dramatic Cosmetics Smokey eyes using blues and metallic shades with long eyelashes and smudged eyeliner are very in this season. Lip color is natural with plenty of glitter or hot shades of red ranging from ruby to burgundy.

Leadership styles- opening activity

First of all I would talk to the employee is there is anything wrong, maybe they don't like the work they are doing so i'll find a solution, maybe they have problem at home or feeling tired. 
I would use the Democratic leadership style. I will let the employee make their own decision, give the employee the choice weather they want to stay and work or a better solution which is taking the day off, or maybe take a short break to relax for a minute and continue working. I will just let the employee take their own decision for their own good. 

The website didn't work, you gave me an extension.

what can you take from that leader that applies to your own business?

he said in order to be a successful leader, you need to focus on relationships first then do your work. this means that you need to respect people, respect their culture, serve them and treat them good. 

the leader is the business so be a good leader get a good business/

Marketing in physics

marketing in physics

physics can teach us a lot about marketing. newton's law a=f/m, acceleration= force of the object over the mass of the object. For a large mass it required more force to change the direction. The more mass of a brand baggage it has the more force it needs to change its positioning.
To make more profits companies give different names to the brand to separate them. The bigger the brand the more difficult it is to replace it. You can measure what consumers actually do than say what they do. You cant prove hypothesis through observation, you can only disprove it. It will make it strong but not prove it. No matter how much you invested in your brand one week of not enough work can destroy everything. Entropy is the measure of disorder of a system.

Opening Activity

I think the category that will generate the most profit for the store is the food category. School supplies will get a good profit too, but not as much as food because it's school people should be prepared when they come to school they should have everything they need with them so not a lot will buy the supplies. Clothing, I think the clothing price is good but not a lot of people might want to buy it. So I thought the best was food because the majority of students take some snack in the morning or at lunch, and that will make a good profit.

Imagine you were given a job to market the ugliest christmas sweater ever. Write a list of things you could say to convince someone to buy the sweater.
