To increase the value added to its app through the operations process, Friendly Fit (FF) can
focus on enhancing both the features and quality of the app. Firstly, by augmenting the
features of the app, FF can attract and retain more users, thereby increasing its value
proposition. For instance, FF could introduce additional social media features such as chat
functionalities, enabling users to engage more actively with each other and share best
exercise practices. Moreover, incorporating features like creating groups or facilitating online
classes within the app can further enhance user interaction and loyalty. Additionally,
expanding the exercise features to include group exercising options or enabling trainers to
sell their services through the platform can significantly elevate the app's value proposition.

Secondly, improving the quality of the app is crucial for maintaining user satisfaction and
loyalty. FF can achieve this by promptly addressing any feedback or issues reported by
users through customer surveys. By reacting swiftly to customer comments and continuously
refining the app, FF can ensure a seamless user experience. Furthermore, reducing any
connection issues or technical glitches within the app will enhance user satisfaction and
retention.

D)

The sampling process utilized by Friendly Fit (FF) to gather feedback on its app features has
several limitations that could impact the reliability and usefulness of the data collected.
Firstly, the sample may suffer from bias due to the incentives offered to respondents, such
as a month's free access to the app. This could potentially lead to respondents providing
more positive responses to secure additional free access, skewing the data and influencing
FF to make decisions based on inflated feedback. Consequently, FF might invest in costly
new features that fail to attract new customers, thereby affecting the company's profitability.

Moreover, the low response rate to the survey raises concerns about the representativeness
of the sample. With only a small percentage of users completing the survey, there's
uncertainty about whether the gathered data accurately reflects the opinions and
preferences of the entire user base. This limitation undermines the utility of the survey
results and raises questions about the validity of any conclusions drawn from them.
Additionally, the high cost associated with distributing the survey and offering incentives
further compounds the issue, potentially straining FF's financial resources without
guaranteeing valuable insights.

In conclusion, while FF's sampling process may offer some insights into user preferences, its
limitations significantly impact the reliability and usefulness of the data collected. The
potential bias introduced by incentives, coupled with the low response rate and high costs,
undermines the validity of the survey results and may lead to misguided decisions by FF.

Using crowdfunding for Cartoon Costumes (CC) has its perks. It allows CC to gather funds
from a wide range of people, not just relying on banks or personal savings. This shows that
there are many supporters who believe in CC's ideas and want to back them financially,
resembling a large group of fans cheering for CC's success.
However, crowdfunding also poses some challenges for CC. When seeking funds on a
crowdfunding platform, CC may have to disclose sensitive business information, potentially
compromising confidentiality. Additionally, fulfilling promises made to backers, such as
rewards or perks, can be demanding and may divert resources away from core business
activities.
In conclusion, despite the drawbacks, crowdfunding presents a viable option for Cartoon
Costumes (CC) to secure the funds needed for expansion. It demonstrates the community's
support and belief in CC's vision, which can ultimately contribute to the company's growth
and success.

Based on the information provided in Table 2.2 and considering other relevant factors, I
recommend that Ava should employ Ahura for the position. Ahura brings a wealth of
experience and diverse skill set to the role, having worked for 10 years as an actor and
another 10 years as a manager of a large clothing shop. This extensive background

collaborative work, and good administrative skills, align well with the requirements of the
role. Ahura's desire to attend university and aspirations to own a business in the future
indicate a commitment to personal and professional growth, which could contribute positively
to CC's long-term success and development.

While Liu also brings valuable skills and qualifications to the table, including customer
service skills and A Levels in Business, Design Technology, and Mathematics, Ahura's
extensive experience and diverse background make them better suited for the position.
Moreover, Ahura's motivation, ability to work well with others, and long-term career ambitions
align closely with the company's goals and culture.

In conclusion, employing Ahura would be the optimal choice for Ava and CC. Ahura's
combination of experience, skills, personal attributes, and career ambitions make them
well-suited for the position and likely to contribute positively to the company's success and
growth.
