4. Anne participates in triathlons. Recently, in a half Ironman race, she experienced nausea, intestinal cramping, and diarrhea on the run, leading to a poor performance. The entire race took her nearly 6 1/2 hours. During the bike portion, she consumed 100 oz of a relatively new sports beverage that she has been training with this year, as well as two gels. On the run, she consumed sips of the sports beverage provided on the course, but switched over to water once she started experiencing the nausea, cramping, and diarrhea. She was frustrated by her performance and wants to ensure that these problems do not happen again. You ask Anne to bring in the new sports beverage she has been consuming so that you can review the Supplement Facts label. Per 8-oz serving, the following nutrients are provided: 60 calories, 15 g carbohydrates, 0 g protein, 0 g fat, 100 mg sodium, 50 mg calcium, 30 mg magnesium, and 100 mg potassium.

4.1 What could be a potential cause of Anne's nausea, intestinal cramping, and diarrhea during the race?

4.2 What recommendations would you give to Anne to prevent the symptoms from occurring in future races?

4.3 What recommendations would you have for her practice session nutrition and race day nutrition?

Please provide your recommendations for future actions based on the three different criteria. In the first element, you will develop a recommendation for how Starbucks can manage its future production by synthesizing the data presented. This is essentially asking you to look at the data and analysis done in the supply and costs sections and make a suggestion for how the company should produce in the future. The determinants of supply and specific cost trends that Starbucks faces will determine what you suggest for its production moving forward, in terms of quantity and types of products. The second element asks you to suggest how the firmâs position within the market and among its competitors will allow it to take the recommended action. Specifically, consider how the firmâs market power would allow it to make the suggested changes to production that you mention above. You should also include advice for how your firm can become stronger within its market. The last element asks you to describe how Starbucks can sustain its success going forward by evaluating findings from demand trends and price elasticity. Be sure to include specific ideas for how the firm can remain successful, like new products to offer based on changing tastes, or a different pricing strategy to remain competitive. Your ideas should of course align with the rest of your analysis and the microeconomic concepts.
