Boone worked tire- “Tlessly to ensure that Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas was ready for everything that came its way. In 1975, after 27 years as the chief adminis- trator of Baylor Dallas, Boone stepped down to concentrate on fundraising for additional growth. Three years later, he used a $5 million endowment to create the Baylor University Medical Center Foundation. Throughout his career, Boone raised money to help Baylor reach its goals, bringing in more than $200 million from private benefactors dur- ing his time as a hospital administrator. But that’s not what he would want to be remembered for. “I don’t know anything about fundraising,” he once said. “I’m a builder, and if it takes money Gordon Caswell, Sid Levit, Boone Powell Sr., Buddy Minyard and Boone Powell Jr. in 1985 to build what Baylor needs, I’ll get it.” Boone established the Foundation to provide Foundation’s early efforts to develop financial friends.

Datta1* 1 Professor Emeritus, Northern KY University, Highland Heights, KY 41099, USA * Y. Datta, Professor Emeritus, Northern KY University, Highland Heights, KY 41099, USA Received: November 8, 2020 Accepted: November 24, 2020 Online Published: November 27, 2020 doi:10.22158/jepf.v6n4p86 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.22158/jepf.v6n4p86 Abstract This paper follows the footsteps of ten studies that have tried to analyze the competitive profile of U.S. consumer markets: Men’s Shaving Gel, Beer, Shampoo, Shredded/Grated Cheese, Refrigerated Orange Juice, Men’s Razor-Blades, Women’s Razor-Blades, Toothpaste, Canned Soup, and Coffee. Porter associates high market share with cost leadership strategy which is based on the idea of competing on a price that is lower than that of the competition. However, customer-perceived quality—not low cost—should be the underpinning of competitive strategy, because it is far more vital to long-term competitive position and profitability than any other factor. So, a superior alternative is to offer better quality vs. the competition. In most consumer markets a business seeking market share leadership should try to serve the middle class by competing in the mid-price segment; and offering quality better than that of the competition: at a price somewhat higher, to signify an image of quality, and to ensure that the strategy is both profitable and sustainable in the long run.

    Frito-Lay History : Company Timeline 1930S 1932 - the Frito Company Is Founded by C.E

    History of the company Time line of Company Brief summary of The Org. History of the company The Frito-Lay Story In 1932, two young entrepreneurs independently started two separate companies that were thousands of miles apart. Both men had the same objective in mind, and both shared the same basic business philosophy: "Provide the customer with a product of the highest quality and value; sell it for a fair profit; and make service a fundamental part of ding business." ' Elmer Doolin of San Antonio, Texas started his company by purchasing the . rights to a then unknown com chip product that he would make. , Herman W. Lay of Nashville, Tennessee developed his business by selling a product that was familiar to people in his region, but later would become America's favorite potato chip. These two savvy businessmen, who transformed a small, fragmented portion of the food business into the large, flourishing world of snack foods, created an industry based on unrivaled customer service and superior products. The Frito Company In 1932, Elmer Doolin entered a small San Antonio cafe and purchased a bag of com chips to eat with his sandwich. Little did he dream this savory chip would become one of the nation's most popular snack foods. Mr. Doolin, who was the operator of the Highland Park Confectionery, was, ookingl for another investment to add to is ice cream and snack business, which was caught in a price war and showing little promise. He learned that the manufacturer of the com Chips was eager to sell his small business and return home to Mexico.
