Summary Introduction
Case summary:
Several marketers are described by captive patrons and low budget. The famous food program is National School Lunch Program. Federal government suggests that schools who are receiving the federal money need to offer free lunch to the students from low income families. But the fund does not cover the whole cost of the meal. The meal served in most of the schools are French fries and chicken fingers. This is because proceeded food is cheaper than the fresh foods.
A report says that 94% of the schools did not meet the standards of Country U Agriculture Department’s regulatory. The purchasing agent should find the vendors who offers quality products or whose offers exceeds the minimum standards in low price.
The main aim of federal healthy, hunger free kids act of 2010 is to increase the nutritional quality of the food taken by children in the school. This act affects the schools in various area like the vending machines, the quantity of food offered to students, and milk of low or no fat. This also changes the price of the lunch. The changes have dieticians and the food serve directors are facing more challenges.
Characters in the case:

- A service that I use often is Apple music, which is a subscription-based music streaming service. It allows users to stream millions of songs from artist all over the world. Apple music targets music enthusiasts who prioritize having access to vast music library and high-quality audio. Apple Music also targets students and young adults who are looking for affordable and on demand music streaming options. I believe the younger adults offer the most capacity for growth because a lot of the music today is created for the younger adults this is why apple music offers a student plan targeting the younger demographic. Spotify is Apple Music's biggest competitor, and it holds a much greater market share than Apple Music. Apple Music is very appealing to Apple users, so I believe as apple users increase so will the popularity of this service.
