  • The Diet Industry the Diet Industry
    Issue: The Diet Industry The Diet Industry By: Lisa Rabasca Roepe Pub. Date: March 5, 2018 Access Date: September 24, 2021 DOI: 10.1177/237455680408.n1 Source URL: http://businessresearcher.sagepub.com/sbr-1946-105904-2881576/20180305/the-diet-industry ©2021 SAGE Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved. ©2021 SAGE Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Will it adapt to changing attitudes? Executive Summary The $70.3 billion industry for diet products and plans is experiencing a shakeout as consumer perceptions shift. The industry still fills a need, since about 70 percent of U.S. adults are overweight or obese, according to government data. But attitudes about how to control weight are changing, as many dieters bounce from one plan to another without finding satisfaction. Many give up on dieting altogether in favor of a broader approach that emphasizes eating a wider variety of foods, exercising and seeking to sustain a healthy lifestyle. In addition, new competitors are entering the field to challenge the traditional industry leaders, but the established firms are finding ways to survive in the changing climate. Key takeaways include: The year 2017 was a period of recovery for the industry after several down years for major players such as Weight Watchers. One well-established company, Nutrisystem, has been especially successful in adapting to a changing business environment by seeking partnerships with major retailers. Fitness apps and trackers, once seen as a potential industry disrupter, have had a mixed record, in part because owners often stop using them after a few months.

  • Introduction to Cultural Leadership 2020
    INTRODUCTION TO CULTURAL LEADERSHIP 2020 WEEK 1 REAL LIFE APPLICATION KNOWING YOU CAN LEAD EXEMPLARY LEADERSHIP CASE STUDY – Indra Nooyi, CEO, PepsiCo 1 The daughter of a conservative, middle-class family in southern India, Indra Nooyi didn’t seem destined to one day run one of the world’s largest snack food and beverage companies. But Nooyi does just that as the CEO and president of PepsiCo, making her one of the top female executives in the United States and probably the highest-ranking woman of Indian heritage in corporate America. Nooyi, who grew up in Madras (now Chennai), India, admits she always pushed social conventions. She played on an all-girls cricket team and was a guitarist in a rock band at a time when it was deemed inappropriate for Indian girls to do such things. Despite graduating from college with bachelor’s degrees in chemistry, math, and physics from Madras Christian College in 1974 and a master of business administration from the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta, Nooyi was reportedly remembered for being only a “mediocre student” (Pandey, 2006). Nooyi’s first job after college was for Tootal, a British textile company in India, but she was hired away as a brand manager for Johnson & Johnson to oversee the company’s Stayfree account in India. It was a job that would have challenged the most seasoned marketing executive because, at the time, advertising women’s feminine products was not allowed in her country (Murray, 2004). 1 Peter G.

  • Elisa Bray Speaks to Mew About How Frengers Changed Their Lives and How It Feels to Be Revisiting the Record with a String Quartet Fifteen Years Later
    Mew Start times: 4 & 8.30pm Running time: 2 hours – including interval Please note all timings are approximate and subject to change Elisa Bray speaks to Mew about how Frengers changed their lives and how it feels to be revisiting the record with a string quartet fifteen years later. There’s a turning point for bands that make it – a record label deal or some chart success – where they can wave goodbye to their day jobs and sleeping on friends’s sofas while on the gigging circuit, and embrace the comfort of hotels, tour buses and roadies. For Danish alternative rock band Mew, that turning point was the release of their third album, and major label debut, Frengers. Released in 2003, it brought them their first commercial success outside of their native Denmark. And today at Barbican, to mark the fifteenth anniversary of the album, Mew are performing it in its entirety for the very first time, with a string ensemble – in their only UK shows of this year. ‘The Frengers album changed everything for us, and turned our lives upside down,’ says lead vocalist Jonas Bjerre. ‘We all moved to London and left behind our home and jobs, so it was quite an adventure. ‘We’ve realised over the years that this album has a special meaning to a lot of people, and I think a lot of the searching we were doing at the time, figuring out who we were, really, was relatable to a lot of people who shared some of our sensibilities. And I think the album reminds people of that time in their lives.
