Product Profile As described in a study by Lukasz and Piotr (2012), it is extremely important that certain companies (depending on the market) develop a wide product range. Following their example, Audit Diagnostics manufactured a very broad range of products. Each of these products had unique characteristics and features. They range from products such as automated preparation stations, clinical analysers and rapid diagnostic/veterinary tests, to ELISA biochemical techniques, liquid stable reagents and sanitisers/infection control apparatuses. Cellslide is an automated computer controlled thin layer cytology preparation station (LBC) providing premium cytological slides for the examination of PAP Tests, Urine Tests and Thyroid Tests (Audit …show more content…
Audit Diagnostics’ reagents offer increased accuracy and reliability. Audit Diagnostics’ new ‘hygiene revolution’ known as the Sterl STAT range provides the total solution for sanitisation and infection control (Anderco 2011). The mode of action is both physical and chemical. The physical effect is creating by varying surface tension. Sterl STAT contains a polydimethylsiloxane based polymer which has a low surface tension and is hydrophobic. However, it also contains many further components of a relatively higher surface tension. Such a surface makes it difficult for micro-organisms to settle and produce a biofilm. Micro-organisms are susceptible to the gentle biocides associated with the polymer backbone of Sterl STAT making it an ideal solution to fighting …show more content…
This development had gone against the norm of what Audit Diagnostics would normally produce. They were further enhancing this range with the introduction of a complete range of Rapid Tests for the rapid diagnosis of the most common diagnostic requirements for animals. The most recent R&D development in Audit Diagnostics is the Sterl Stat range of products. Audit Diagnostics noticed a gap in the market for a ‘hygiene revolution’ and positioned themselves accordingly, launching the Sterl STAT range which provides the total solution for sanitisation and infection control. This hugely successful launch is another perfect example of how creating new R&D partnerships can help Audit Diagnostics to develop successful products. However, successful products do not automatically guarantee commercial success. The fluctuating world of business also depends on many other variables and Audit Diagnostics has fallen victim to liquidation. Its R&D department has taken a significant hit, putting future development projects in serious jeopardy. If circumstances improve and its R&D department is reinstated, I believe that Audit Diagnostics will re-establish their previous practice of creating and maintaining R&D partnerships with different
Introduction A company’s success is measured by how well it is structured and organized in order to adapt to the changes in environment as well as the changes within itself such as the company’s scale, employees, product scope, etc. Having a suitable, well-structured organizational frame will not only increase the chance of being success but also prolong the company’s lifespan compared to an un-structured one. It is important to note that an organization’s structure needs to fit in with the current situation and does not necessarily required remain unchanged over time. Taking Dynacorp as an example, even though its functional structure contributed to the vast growth of the company at the start, its limitation in dealing with the changes within

A huge sum has been invested, so now it is really crucial for the product to succeed. Moreover the current product mix is not sufficient to bring long term profits for the company. As far as short term goals are considered, management wanted a successful launch for the product which will provide the right marketing and target of the new product line. While the long term goals involved adding variety and diversity to the product line to achieve a long term sustainable growth rather than just achieving short term
But product differentiation requires a lot more efforts in research and development as
Clients must keep records and books of accounts including cash book, sales ledger, purchases ledger and general ledger. Supporting documents such as invoices, bank statements, pay-in slips, cheque butts, and receipts for payments, payroll records and copies of receipts issued should be retained.

Company should record sufficient to explain each transaction and to enable a true and fair profit & loss account and balance sheet to be prepared. At the end of the accounting period, a physical stock-take should be made to ascertain the quantity and the cost of the stock in hand or the cost of work in progress statements and
With that in mind, The Home Depot has two generic brand products within the store one is HDX that could be found in almost every department of the store, this product usually doesn’t carry a warranty and for the most part it is built for residential use due to it lower prices and quality point. Whereas, Husky is the other company’s house brand, in which this product carries a warranty and a bit more expensive but with great quality. Meaning the stages of products, whether new or old go through or their growth in the market place that is influenced by Market Demand. For instance, Managers in Leadership need to know what stage a product is in due to the benefit of a devise marketing program for product sales due to, a product goes beyond itself if its presented to the store proper, the way it is packed and the service as well customer service and warranties that is offered for the product from within the company.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY M. PROCESS --> situational analysis - product life cycle Product life cycle involves four main stages which a product has to pass through such an introduction, growth maturity and decline. Numerous business innovate or invent inspired by someone’s great idea to produce a product which would be fresh in market, different compared to others and which also is innovative and perhaps superior to the one which available. Similarly with the most successful company Microsoft corporation’s product Microsoft office which as already touched to maturity stage according to its features: • Product features and packaging try to differentiate the product from those of competitors: Microsoft office is a brand that has extensively diversified
A company needs to go through extensive regulatory approval, licensing, high financial backing and investment, an effective distribution network, brand patents and strong brand presence make it a difficult industry to enter or exit. This is why the threat of a new entrant is low to moderate to existing companies. Based on factors mentioned above. But now many pharmaceutical companies are progressing in the market by shifting from traditional business approach to emerging new business approach. The new business technique includes contract research (drug discovery and clinical trials), contract manufacturing and co-marketing alliance.
It is true that animal testing requires a lot of investment. Not only that money is spent on advanced technologies, it is also spent to pay for scientists’ expertise on this particular field. In order for the scientists to do their research, they need suitable equipment and substances. Every year, the National institutes of Health finances between $12 billion to $14.5 billion on animal testing as indicated in a study done by the government (Bastach, 2013). Besides, scientists need to consider the fact that animals need to be sheltered, fed and cared for to keep them alive.

Introduction Animals testing have significantly contributed to the advancement of scientific knowledge in general and to biomedical progress specifically. Many example showing that laboratory animals in medical development and other aspects have significantly influenced human health and reduced suffering, for example improved diagnosis of infectious disease (Hau, Jann, Schapiro & Steven, 2002). But since 1960s and 1970s, animals testing protests has gained prominence and strength, people start to argue is it moral to continue “cruel” animal testing. Animal Testing is a Moral Act In the rest of this article, I shall apply different concept under utilitarianism try to discuss whether animal testing are moral acts. It is important to notice that (1) in this article, applying the general idea of utilitarianism which is “the greatest happiness of greatest number” and (2) the animals testing under the rules and regulations.
