Sally and Don work in the Marketing Department of a company, that makes different meal products.

Don Hey, Sally, look at these figures. The price of sugar is going up 10% during the next year.

Sally Oh, that's bad. That means trouble for our jam line.

Don I think so too. Sugar is the main ingredient, you know.What's your opinion?

Sally Well, we are not the price leaders in the field and jam is a very price sensitive item. According to our marketing research informations consumers aren't particularly brand loyal about jam.

Don Sure. If we do it right we'll sell more and become the leader in the market.

Sallv Oh, sure, we've got a lot to discuss — distribution, advertising...
