Here, everyone can type for the part. Everyone should be responsible for a single part and just need to write about 100 words. Finally, I will combine everyone's work and submit it! By the way, everyone needs to give other teammates suggestions which can be written in reply part(at least 2 of us)! The deadline for this assignment is March 12, please post in advance. 21 would be better! Thanks.

Before we start to work, I think the most important thing now is to determine the positioning of our cafe, business philosophy and features.

For our team performance: I will take responsibility for part 1. Our company mainly focuses on the business group, but the price will be at the standard level. We try our best to sell the products in different parts: Coffee, Coffee beans, Marker cups, soft drinks related to coffee, etc. In addition, we organized the charity to raise money not only for promotion but also to help some poor people. This is a general overview of our company services.

In order to maintain the mid-to-high-end positioning of our products, we can provide better services. For example, we can use AI to optimize coffee brewing methods. An artificial intelligence algorithm is used to analyze brewing parameters such as water temperature, grind and brew time to optimize the flavor of each coffee.
Maybe we can also expand the customization line. Create personalized brewing recipes based on customers' personal preferences and taste characteristics (relying on AI algorithms).

I would love to be responsible for the second part Impact on Society. As a digital marketing manager of the company, I am able to analyze the market and our company’s impact on society. We run a coffee company that focuses on producing mid-to-high-end products. We certainly need to benefit society. We will solve some particular problems, improve the quality of life, contribute to sustainability, and advance knowledge. We are engaged in playing a very important role in benefiting society.

As a formal enterprise, we are willing to benefit society through our products and services. Firstly, we will certainly participate in charitable donations. We would like to donate partial income to poor regions to help people there live better lives. In addition, we are engaged in contributing to sustainability. For example, we are going to utilize recyclable aluminum coffee capsules so that we can reduce the consumption of raw materials. What’s more, because there are some coffee experts coming to our stores for lectures on coffee cultivation, consumers have opportunities to learn about coffee farming. It contributes to the dissemination of knowledge.

I will use Porter's framework to analyze GYWCoffee's competitive strategy:

1. as a coffee company, GYWCoffee faces the threat of new entrants, and it is a challenge to build its brand and customer base.

2, 3. The bargaining power of suppliers and the bargaining power of buyers are relatively weak as both parties have multiple options.



4. Threat of substitutes: The threat of substitutes in the coffee industry is weak. The popularity, functionality and cultural significance of coffee are difficult to substitute.

5. Intensity of Competition: Competition among existing coffee companies is usually intense, and factors such as price, quality, location and customer experience are essential in assessing competitiveness.


Based on Porter's Five Forces of Competition model for GYWCoffee, I recommend a strategy that combines differentiation and focus. By offering a unique, high-quality product and targeting a specific market segment, such a strategy would allow our coffee company to stand out from its competitors and provide a superior experience for customers who value quality coffee and ambience. Such a strategy can provide a competitive advantage by enabling coffee shops to command higher prices, build customer loyalty and maintain profitability in a highly competitive market.

I think your idea is very good! If I can give you some suggestions, I will recommend you to give some detailed examples. For example, you said: that GYWCoffee faces the threat of new entrants. You could try to give a detailed strategy to fight against the threat. In a word, you did really a good job.

The part I'm responsible for is part five, which is about Potential AI applications.
First of all, artificial intelligence can help us quickly count the group corresponding to the type of coffee, which greatly improves the operation efficiency of the company and saves a lot of time. At the same time, artificial intelligence is also of great help to the company in innovation. We can develop new products methodically based on the results obtained. We use artificial intelligence to collect customer feedback on our products and improve and perfect them according to the feedback. We can also expand our market through artificial intelligence, and using Internet platform to expand market coverage is a good choice.
