Why is Kraft Changing its Cheese? Changing with the Market



Millions of kids eat Kraft cheese every year in the form of American and White Kraft Singles. The company will be moving from the preservative sorbic acid to the more natural mold inhibitor natamycin. The change is in response to growing consumer trends that are pushing for more natural foods. Kraft is meeting the trend in their own crafty way. 

Even though the preservatives are FDA approved the decision makers of the organization are responding to customer preferences and needs. It took nearly five years for them to test the shelf-life and taste to ensure that they do not lose market position or damage the product in anyway. It is hoped with new commercials that the company will be able to gain more market share by the improved product. 

The change helps us understand how the market and market preferences can impact strategic decisions within an organization. It takes time to adjust and change successful products to enhance their market position. Seeing these trends in advance and branding your change can be a game changer for growth. This takes a level of analysis and customer market study.

Beside the push for more natural products parents are also concerned about the food they are giving their children. This is natural parental responsibility to the young. Kraft cheese appeals to this market demographic and naturally does well when showing interest to their needs. The adjustment is a wise choice for Kraft and helps them maintain long-term competitiveness while pleasing their target customer. 

Commercials will be airing soon and products are already on the shelf. Look for a red circle that says No Artificial Preservatives or Flavors.

The Meaning of A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost

A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost He halted in the wind, and — what was that Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost? He stood there bringing March against his thought, And yet too ready to believe the most. "Oh, that's the Paradise-in-bloom," I said; And truly it was fair enough for flowers had we but in us to assume in march Such white luxuriance of May for ours. We stood a moment so in a strange world, Myself as one his own pretense deceives; And then I said the truth (and we moved on). A young beech clinging to its last year's leaves. The poem is one of seasons changing and the cycle of life. Each May the bloom comes out and brings life to the death of winter. The poem is about a single moment when the characters see that life has changed. The layers of meaning can be deep but on the surface it appears Robert Frost is discussing nature and its cyclical momentum.   Everything in nature moves through patterns. The poem indicates that

Art Review: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

The Kiss is Gustav Klimt’s most famous and well known painting. Produced in 1908 in Vienna, Austria and incorporated oil and gold life on the canvas ( 1 ). This was unique for his time and represents both tile works with Asiatic influence. The painting and the romance it brings forward is still wonderment to onlookers. The picture depicts a passionate relationship between a man and woman in a sort of perfect place.  The couple is embracing, bodies entwined, wearing robes of wealth and decadence. It provides linear constructs of the Art Nouveau style and the movement of arts with crafts ( 2 ). The male is square and masculine while the woman painted is in curves to represent femininity. The couple is a pair with the woman and man equal in stature. They are in a field of flowers and appear to rise above it.  To many this painting represents the concept that love has no bounds. Social position or worldly wealth cannot hide what goes on under the fancy clothes and standard m
