Nordstrom Culture

Feb 9, 20161 like1,330 views

Nordstrom has a strong organizational culture focused on customer service. Their culture is shaped by their values of prioritizing customer experience, their heroes like the Nordstrom family who have run the business for over 100 years emphasizing customer service, and rituals like weekly employee celebrations and contests. Communication reinforces the culture through informal exchanges and an inverted management pyramid that prioritizes customers, empowers employees, and focuses managers on coaching. This strong culture has supported Nordstrom's success over 114 years of operation.

Organizational culture is a system
of shared assumptions, values,
and beliefs, which governs how
people behave in organizations.
These shared values have a
strong influence on the people in
the organization and dictate how
they dress, act, and perform their
jobs.

Business marketing refers to the sale of products or services from one organization to another for resale or business use, unlike consumer marketing which is sales directly to end users. Business markets differ from consumer markets in several ways: they typically have fewer but larger buyers, require close relationships between suppliers and customers, involve professional purchasing agents following specific policies, need multiple people within an organization to influence buying, may require many sales calls to close deals especially for capital equipment, have demand that depends on downstream consumer demand, have inelastic demand that is not greatly affected by price changes, and can experience more volatile fluctuating demand compared to consumer markets.

Private labels are products manufactured by one company but sold under another company's brand. They are available across many industries and defined as goods made by a contract manufacturer for a retailer under the retailer's own label. There are three main categories of private labels: store brands which are a retailer's exclusive line designed to build customer loyalty; umbrella brands which use the same branding across multiple related products; and individual brands where each product has its own unique branding. Reasons for private labels include identifying customer needs, changing habits, creating unique products, gaining loyalty, and higher margins for retailers.

What Is Tungsten Steel Jewelry_ Materials, Features, And Production Technique...Heman Chen

��

Hey jewelry fans! Let's talk about tungsten steel—the superhero of jewelry materials! It's tough, stylish, and perfect for creating pieces that last. Tungsten steel is made from tungsten carbide, a super strong material that can handle anything life throws at it. Think of it like the armor of metals! Tungsten jewelry comes in two cool styles: plain and inlaid. Plain tungsten jewelry is solid and sleek, often finished with high polish or laser engraving. Inlaid pieces take it up a notch by adding gold, platinum, or diamonds, making them extra fancy. You can find rings, bracelets, cufflinks, and even watches made from this amazing material. But how do we make tungsten jewelry? It's all about powder metallurgy—a fancy way of saying we press and bake the metal powder into shape. This process gives tungsten its incredible strength and durability. The final touch? Grinding and polishing to make it shiny and smooth. Tungsten steel jewelry is perfect for anyone looking for something unique and long-lasting. It's hypoallergenic, scratch-resistant, and super stylish. Whether you're a jewelry store, designer, or even a celeb looking for custom pieces, tungsten steel is your go-to material. Ready to add some serious bling to your collection? Tungsten steel is here to shine!
