  • The Barbie Case
    The Barbie® Case Introduction When on October 11, 2005, Neil B. Friedman was promoted from his position as head of the successful Fisher-Price® division to become the President of the combined operations of the merged Mattel® and Fisher-Price® units, he might have considered this promotion to be a daunting task to take on. At the start of this job as the President of the Mattel® Brands Division, the sales of Barbie®, Mattel®'s signature doll and profit engine, which account for an estimated 251 to 35%2 of Mattel®'s sales had fallen for seven straight quarters on a year-to-year basis.3 Barbie®'s global third-quarter sales in 2005 were down 18% from the previous year, and U.S. sales decreased 30%. This decrease in sales affected Mattel®'s overall performance as shares tumbled to their lowest point in four years. 4 The toy industry overall was struggling, with sales down 5.3% through the first nine months. U.S. retail sales of dolls fell 6% in that period, according to market researcher NPD Group. Analysts believe the slide will continue as more kids choose video games and digital-music players over action figures and board games.5 In addition, Friedman was confronted with an anti-Barbie climate with campaigns challenging Barbie®’s beauty ideal launched by The Body Shop and more recent ones by Dove® and Nike® as well as a tradition of Mattel losing legal battles time and again against artists who parodied Barbie®. 1 The Barbie® Case 1.

  • Nez Perce National Historic Trail Progress Report Spring 2013
    Nez Perce National Historic Trail Progress Report Spring 2013 Administrator’s Corner Greetings, The staff of the Nez Perce (Nee-Me-Poo) National Historic Trail (NPNHT) serves to mentor, motivate, inspire, and educate thousands of children, youth and adults every year about the history, conservation, and preservation values of this unique trail. We strive to engage the communities along the trail in events and provide youth the opportunity to learn, grow and take ownership of their trail. As you read through the Progress Reports from previous years, including this one, you will see the exciting projects and programs that have been completed and those which are underway. In future years even bigger and more exciting things are on the horizon. If “it takes a village to raise a child,” it has taken a landscape of Sandi riding the Arizona Trail communities and cities along the trail to raise and provide stewardship to the NPNHT. Thank you so much for your continued support of the NPNHT. We could not have done what has been accomplished without you and we are just getting started. We hope that you will continue to be an integral part of the evolution of the NPNHT. We want to leave the trail and the Auto Tour Route better than we found them. That can simply mean picking up garbage, pulling a noxious weed, replacing a trail marker or helping to raise a child by getting our youth involved in securing the future of our trail. Visit our website to see the many ways to make the trail a better place.
