Food/Dieting in Italy

As a group, we went through some challenges on this Italy trip, however, our experience provided us with a great lesson. We learned how (Italy diet is broken down in to groups), which would affect us mentally and physically, meanwhile, our body would emotionally feel the toll of because of the overall culture shock that took place the second we walked off the plane. With an entirely new diet into our lives, it created turmoil which made us irritable and homesick. At first we weren’t familiar with each other as individuals in this Italy group, however, we created friendships through this experience, which we will carry through our lives. The best part was that we all created those friendships and memories with each other through sharing meals and taking on this new diet together as a group.

Mission Statement

Low-priced products for the industry: Our brands offer solid value. Our stakeholders are bondholders, customers, stockholders and management.

Tactics

Research & Development: We will keep our existing product line and introduce at least one new line, maintaining a presence in both segments. We’ll work to keep our products up to date in each segment despite high automation levels, without sacrificing our cost/price advantage.

Marketing: Our Company will spend modestly on promoting and selling products in our industry. Our prices will be lower than average. After we establish our cost leadership position, we will revisit our situation to explore options to improve awareness and accessibility.

Production: We will significantly increase automation levels on all products. However, because automation sets limits upon our ability to reposition products with R&D, we automate more in the slower moving Low End segments than in the fast moving High End. We will prefer second shift/overtime to capacity expansions.

Finance: We will finance our investments primarily through long-term bond issues, supplementing with stock offerings on an as needed basis. When our cash position allows, we will establish a dividend policy and begin to retire stock. We are not adverse to leverage, and expect to keep assets/equity between 2.0 and 3.0.

Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream, Coffee, Caramel, Fudge Ice Cream with Coconut Milk

We are offering a non-dairy alternative to traditional ice cream. Ben & Jerry’s already offers a few non-dairy flavors using almond milk, however we believe through our observation and research that there was an opportunity to expand the non-dairy line by offering a coconut milk option.
