Document Summary

Heather tyner (1124620), kylie riches (1136270), and shuk tak sharon lee (1050332) Department of marketing and consumer studies, university of guelph. Mushrooms are a common ingredient found in many households. They come in a variety of types and can be consumed in many forms, making them a very versatile vegetable when it comes to cooking. While being low in calories and fat, mushrooms also have several nutritional benefits, making them a healthy addition to anyone"s diet. Based on provided data collected in the year 2020, the harvested area and overall production of mushrooms in ontario have seen a steady increase since the year 1983. Along with this, the average price of mushrooms has also increased. However, the availability of mushrooms per person in canada has decreased based on data from 2008 until 2018. According to statistics canada, there was also an increase in canada"s total harvested area and production between the same years of 1983 and 2020 (statistics canada, 2021).

A: Make a list of 5 internal data (specific data points such as “first name” and “sales per day”) that the following companies would have in their database: Amazon.ca, Pharmaprix, and Concordia University. (different ones for each. They should not be ordinary ones, i.e. first name and last name!).

B: For each one, write a brief logic that why you think it could be a useful one. i.e. for birth date, you can say they might use it to congrats and provide coupons.

Hint: Name and sales per day are the two examples of distinct information, which a company might have in its internal database. Another piece of information might be, for example, email address, gender, price trends, and so on. I am asking for a list containing 5 of such information - not real or mock examples: i.e. John, $20, etc - for each of the four companies. This information could be stored by different methods, i.e. when you sign up or purchase products from Amazon, you provide Amazon several different kinds of information. The same might be once you want to pick up your prescribed medicine from the Pharmaprix. The goal of this assignment is to think of different types of information a company has.

Attention to these points are required:
1. These companies are not the same in nature (so not all information that they have is the same)
2. There are different methods that a company acquires the data (so not all information that it has should look the same, i.e. all are not demographic-based information).
3. If a consumer walks into a Pharmaprix store and makes a cash purchase, that the company collects no data about that person at all—but that they do have data about the item purchased.
4. More importantly, the internal data is not about just customers! It could be about the inventory, cash flow, customer satisfaction, and so on! So the list should consist of a piece of information from any of the following departments (not all from the same source): marketing department, customer service department, accounting department, operation reports, sales force, and marketing channels.
