Extracted Content: Morgan Jackiewicz: Well hi everyone again.
  Ann Haile: Hello.
  Deborah Davis: Hello.
  Lucretia Calo: Hello
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Um like before uh I have to redo the meetings from n th the minutes from the last meeting
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: and so here we go. Uh it was discussed in the last meeting uh which was opened by the presentation from the interface um
  Ann Haile: Designer.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: designer that uh looks would be very important on this new remote and um it is to send messages of course to the T_V_. It should have nine channel buttons, a button volume buttons buttons, switch to control features, colour contrast, sharpness etcetera. It should have a memory switch, a mute button in case the telephone rings or something. Uh speech recognition is one of her very f favourite personal uh features she would like see d d to be integrated in this um in this new remote. Um. Should be child friendly design with few buttons, colourful maybe with s star shaped or other shaped buttons. Um she uh presented also an oversized remote which she guarantees nobody will ever be able to lose. Um
  Lucretia Calo: And she was challenged on that point
  Morgan Jackiewicz: that's right.
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: But uh her very f personal favourite really she, she would very much like to see a speech recogniser integrated in this remote. Deborah Davis um presented her uh thoughts on the issue. She would like a special case made out of plastic that is very strong, not using any harmful materials, should be recyclable and should be colourful. Should have an integrated circuit board that's highly sophisticated and temperature resistant. She would like to see a timer and or alarm facility integrated. Uh technically this thing would also have a resistor and a capacitor, diode transistor, resonator, and if possible a rechargeable battery. Uh and of course a circuit board. And how it would works, you press the button, the chip is morse morse code related relays the uh to the generat to the generator amplification and uh the circuit board is very inexpensive to build
  Lucretia Calo: Okay.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: and so she thinks this is a great feature uh to to to consider. She would like uh this whole thing should be push buttons with a simple chip uh scrolling method is more expensive and not that practical anymore. Should be battery operated and of course she would have the special cases. Lucretia Calo uh who has to finally come up with to to to market this product has been watching the competition, has done some research on the internet and also has used h her personal observations to come up with the fact that such a remote sh should be small, easy to use and it should be eye catching. From her point of view of course one of the most important facts is that we should get to market before our competition does. To do that uh maybe one or two features should be developed on which we could dwell on or in other words on which our campaign could be built on. Too many new features or too many points would only confuse matter. So we prefer to have one or two features that can be really uh driven home. Um it should have a fruit and vegetable design and should have a soft feel. She feels that's really what people want today. And the decision that we took last time was that uh the special feature we would like to see is a speech recogniser, the energy should be battery uh should be on a chip, should be trendy design, compact and strong, and should have buttons. And that concludes the presentation from the last minutes from the last meeting. Now uh we are ready for the presentation of the prototype.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Ann Haile: Yeah. Just the look like, the button part I'll explain.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah. so this what uh we have made This is a model of the remote control which we are going to build.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Mm-hmm.
  Deborah Davis: Uh this is us in a snail shape
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Deborah Davis: so uh it it is attractive um and it's it's blue in colour
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Deborah Davis: uh bright and uh it has yellow buttons and all the different colour buttons
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Deborah Davis: so it is a uh uh a looks-wise it is beautiful.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Deborah Davis: Uh and also compact in shape.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Good.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah, oops, sorry.
  Lucretia Calo: You used to have all the buttons
  Deborah Davis: Um yeah and um uh the material which we are going to use for the case is uh plastic and uh w which which is s strong um uh and also uh for the Um the material is plastic and uh for the buttons it is uh s soft rubber um and
  Lucretia Calo: Oh
  Deborah Davis: als
  Lucretia Calo: that's good,
  Deborah Davis: yeah.
  Lucretia Calo: no, that's nice and friendly.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah because uh uh you'll be touching the buttons
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Deborah Davis: more so
  Lucretia Calo: Mm.
  Deborah Davis: it is soft when you
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Mm-hmm,
  Deborah Davis: touch
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Deborah Davis: it.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: mm-hmm.
  Deborah Davis: And then um uh for the for the led, for the light emitting diode it
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Deborah Davis: is a fluorescent green and
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Deborah Davis: it's a a it is a bulb like an ordinary infrared. And and the button button's part uh will be explained by F Francina.
  Ann Haile: Okay.
  Lucretia Calo: Okay.
  Ann Haile: Now the um we decided upon including certain features on our remote. Now these features includes the s um signal emitting uh signal it's the led
  Lucretia Calo: Yeah,
  Ann Haile: or
  Lucretia Calo: okay,
  Ann Haile: L_E_D_
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Mm-hmm,
  Lucretia Calo: mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: mm-hmm.
  Ann Haile: the infrared. Now uh we have included the switch on and off button.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Ann Haile: Now we have included another feature that is the mute button
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Ann Haile: on the side of the model.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Ann Haile: Then we have included one to nine buttons the programmes the different channels.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Ann Haile: We have also included two buttons for increasing or decreasing the volume.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Ann Haile: And we have also included two buttons for scrolling up and scrolling down the programme channels.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm.
  Ann Haile: Now our our model also contains a button which is called as the menu button.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: What kind of button?
  Ann Haile: Menu button.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Menu? Uh menu
  Ann Haile: Yes,
  Lucretia Calo: Menu
  Morgan Jackiewicz: th menu,
  Ann Haile: menu
  Lucretia Calo: button.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: uh one one.
  Ann Haile: At the centre
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Ann Haile: we have included a button which is fluorescent green colour and this is the menu button which will control the colour, sharpness, brightness
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm. Of the screen.
  Ann Haile: of
  Lucretia Calo: Mm,
  Ann Haile: this
  Lucretia Calo: mm-hmm.
  Ann Haile: uh picture. We have also included a button which is called as the swapping button. Now this is uh a special, special feature which we have included. Now this button is an elongated shaped button and this is slightly flexible so if it is turned towards the right it will take to the previous channel, if it is turned towards the right it will take to the next channel. It will take the user to the previous and the next channel so this is a swapping button.
  Lucretia Calo: The next channel in the numeric pattern, or
  Ann Haile: No, swapping is if if example you're you're watching the second channel
  Lucretia Calo: Yeah, mm-hmm.
  Ann Haile: and then you go to the tenth channel and if
  Lucretia Calo: Mm.
  Ann Haile: you want to go back to the second channel you can swap, this button.
  Lucretia Calo: Okay,
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Lucretia Calo: okay.
  Ann Haile: And at the end, it this remote has inbuilt voice recogniser which
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Okay.
  Ann Haile: c which will recognise the user's voice
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Mm-hmm.
  Ann Haile: and then it'll act accordingly.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Mm-hmm.
  Ann Haile: So
  Lucretia Calo: Okay.
  Ann Haile: this is our proposed model.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Ann Haile: Now Lucretia Calo has to
  Deborah Davis: Tell, yeah.
  Ann Haile: give her suggestion whether it'll be sellable or it'll be cost effective.
  Lucretia Calo: Okay, well um what what I really like a lot about it is that you can reach the whole thing with one thumb,
  Ann Haile: Yes,
  Lucretia Calo: that
  Ann Haile: yes.
  Lucretia Calo: you can really hold it in
  Deborah Davis: Mm-hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: one h you don't need two hands and it's easily reachable even for somebody with a small hand, yeah?
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Yes the buttons are all raised, right?
  Lucretia Calo: The buttons
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Lucretia Calo: are all raised
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Are raised,
  Lucretia Calo: and
  Morgan Jackiewicz: mm-hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: if you hold it in the centre of your hand you can even reach it over here
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Right.
  Lucretia Calo: so you don't have to turn it around, turn it upside down,
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Or have two hands
  Lucretia Calo: move
  Morgan Jackiewicz: to operate
  Lucretia Calo: it up,
  Morgan Jackiewicz: it,
  Lucretia Calo: up
  Morgan Jackiewicz: yeah.
  Lucretia Calo: and down, I really like that. You really
  Ann Haile: Mm.
  Deborah Davis: Mm-hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: did a good job on that, my little designers. Um and um I like the idea that the on-off button is in a really prominent place. That's that's a really good good
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Yes,
  Lucretia Calo: thing.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: and it sort of sticks up so
  Lucretia Calo: Yeah,
  Morgan Jackiewicz: that
  Lucretia Calo: that's great.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: you really you don't have to g
  Deborah Davis: Hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: first go like oh yeah
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: here
  Deborah Davis: Mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: it's on
  Ann Haile: Abs
  Morgan Jackiewicz: and
  Ann Haile: okay.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: yeah, mm-hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: The colour's very attractive. Um the um these buttons uh around here are the mute
  Ann Haile: No,
  Lucretia Calo: and
  Ann Haile: these the front buttons
  Lucretia Calo: these
  Ann Haile: which are here,
  Lucretia Calo: mm-hmm
  Ann Haile: are the mute buttons.
  Lucretia Calo: On both sides they're
  Ann Haile: Yes,
  Lucretia Calo: mute?
  Ann Haile: yes.
  Lucretia Calo: So you can push either one?
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Lucretia Calo: Okay.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: So if you're left-handed or right-handed
  Lucretia Calo: And
  Morgan Jackiewicz: it
  Lucretia Calo: this
  Morgan Jackiewicz: doesn't
  Lucretia Calo: brings
  Morgan Jackiewicz: matter.
  Lucretia Calo: the menu up on the screen?
  Ann Haile: Pardon Lucretia Calo?
  Lucretia Calo: This brings
  Ann Haile: This
  Lucretia Calo: the menu
  Ann Haile: is the
  Lucretia Calo: up
  Ann Haile: menu
  Lucretia Calo: on the
  Ann Haile: yes,
  Lucretia Calo: screen
  Ann Haile: yes.
  Lucretia Calo: and the orange ones are
  Ann Haile: A the the these these two are th to increase or decrease the volumes,
  Lucretia Calo: Okay.
  Ann Haile: and these two are to uh scroll the programme channels.
  Lucretia Calo: F f okay. Right,
  Ann Haile: Scroll
  Lucretia Calo: very good.
  Ann Haile: up or scroll down the channels.
  Lucretia Calo: Uh it looks mm looks like something I can sell. Okay and now I'm supposed
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Well,
  Lucretia Calo: to
  Morgan Jackiewicz: I have one question
  Lucretia Calo: yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: uh will there be anything written on the buttons, like that people know, or they have to learn that from a piece of paper which button does what?
  Ann Haile: Yes,
  Deborah Davis: Ah.
  Ann Haile: it will have uh these
  Deborah Davis: Yeah,
  Ann Haile: buttons
  Deborah Davis: definitely.
  Ann Haile: will have the numbers and all the rest of the buttons will have symbols.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Will have symbols
  Ann Haile: Yes,
  Morgan Jackiewicz: so that
  Lucretia Calo: Yeah.
  Ann Haile: which
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: that
  Ann Haile: can be easily
  Morgan Jackiewicz: that
  Ann Haile: recognised.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: the user really knows
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: you know
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: and doesn't have
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: to first
  Lucretia Calo: Good point
  Morgan Jackiewicz: learn
  Lucretia Calo: because
  Morgan Jackiewicz: it
  Lucretia Calo: we need
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Lucretia Calo: the symbols 'cause we're going
  Deborah Davis: Yeah
  Lucretia Calo: into
  Deborah Davis: of
  Lucretia Calo: an
  Deborah Davis: course,
  Lucretia Calo: international
  Deborah Davis: and
  Lucretia Calo: market
  Deborah Davis: also
  Lucretia Calo: we can't
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Lucretia Calo: have anything
  Deborah Davis: Hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: that's language
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Yeah.
  Lucretia Calo: dependent.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: But
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: anyway it would ha i i i it
  Deborah Davis: Yeah
  Morgan Jackiewicz: has
  Deborah Davis: we
  Morgan Jackiewicz: to have some
  Deborah Davis: can
  Morgan Jackiewicz: kind of of
  Lucretia Calo: Symbols
  Deborah Davis: Text.
  Lucretia Calo: on
  Morgan Jackiewicz: symbols,
  Lucretia Calo: it. Mm-hmm,
  Morgan Jackiewicz: text
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: or something
  Lucretia Calo: mm-hmm.
  Deborah Davis: Text
  Morgan Jackiewicz: so that
  Deborah Davis: that
  Morgan Jackiewicz: people
  Deborah Davis: we can
  Morgan Jackiewicz: kn
  Deborah Davis: have on the case itself, we can
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: That's
  Deborah Davis: it
  Morgan Jackiewicz: right.
  Deborah Davis: will
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Deborah Davis: be printed on the case and
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Okay,
  Deborah Davis: symbols
  Morgan Jackiewicz: yeah
  Deborah Davis: as
  Morgan Jackiewicz: just
  Deborah Davis: well
  Ann Haile: And
  Morgan Jackiewicz: wanted
  Deborah Davis: as
  Morgan Jackiewicz: make
  Deborah Davis: the
  Morgan Jackiewicz: sure
  Deborah Davis: buttons.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: of
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: that mm-hmm.
  Ann Haile: and one
  Lucretia Calo: Mm,
  Ann Haile: more
  Lucretia Calo: 'kay, mm.
  Ann Haile: feature is we we have a holder for this remote
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Ann Haile: which is an oyster shape. A shell shape.
  Lucretia Calo: For the snail,
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Right,
  Lucretia Calo: yeah,
  Ann Haile: Yes,
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Lucretia Calo: mm-hmm,
  Morgan Jackiewicz: mm-hmm.
  Ann Haile: yes.
  Lucretia Calo: we have
  Deborah Davis: So
  Lucretia Calo: the snail
  Deborah Davis: it is
  Lucretia Calo: shell.
  Ann Haile: Yes,
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Mm-hmm.
  Deborah Davis: yeah,
  Ann Haile: snail
  Lucretia Calo: He
  Ann Haile: shell.
  Lucretia Calo: goes right back
  Deborah Davis: yeah
  Lucretia Calo: into his
  Deborah Davis: shell.
  Lucretia Calo: shell.
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Right.
  Lucretia Calo: Well you know I think we could do something really funny with this too because the snail is known to be slow
  Deborah Davis: Mm-hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: and we could have some sort of little comic effect on our marketing
  Ann Haile: Mm-hmm.
  Deborah Davis: Mm.
  Lucretia Calo: about how this is a rapid snail
  Ann Haile: Y Yes
  Lucretia Calo: or something
  Deborah Davis: Yeah,
  Lucretia Calo: like that
  Deborah Davis: of
  Lucretia Calo: you know that
  Deborah Davis: course,
  Lucretia Calo: would, that would
  Deborah Davis: yeah.
  Lucretia Calo: really work.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Now what,
  Lucretia Calo: So
  Morgan Jackiewicz: what are our special features for the marketing? That's really the voice recognition that's really unusual
  Lucretia Calo: I think voice recognition is our big selling point
  Deborah Davis: Mm.
  Lucretia Calo: 'cause
  Deborah Davis: Mm-hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: nobody else seems to have that
  Deborah Davis: Mm.
  Lucretia Calo: in in this price range.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: And then, and then the other thing would basically be sh shape or practicality of use.
  Lucretia Calo: Yep uh
  Morgan Jackiewicz: You
  Lucretia Calo: well
  Morgan Jackiewicz: know.
  Lucretia Calo: I think that everybody's gonna say their remote control is practical. I think we have
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Colours.
  Lucretia Calo: to, we have to dwell on on on the appearance.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Mm-hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: We're really gonna have the be the
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Cutest.
  Lucretia Calo: cutest remote control on the block.
  Deborah Davis: Mm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Yeah.
  Lucretia Calo: So I think we have to play with the image, play with the snail image um play with the visual and then the voice recognition. I
  Deborah Davis: Mm-hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: think those are the two things to push. The look and the voice recognition. They're gonna be our two selling points.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Okay, now uh having said that
  Lucretia Calo: I'm supposed to make a little presentation, aren't I?
  Morgan Jackiewicz: No, now this was our evaluation criteria which
  Lucretia Calo: Okay.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: we uh just have done. Now we're gonna talk about financing.
  Lucretia Calo: Ah, but in my instructions I think it said I was supposed to go to the board and do something. No?
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Well, there is a production evaluation. Is that you?
  Lucretia Calo: Yeah, that's Lucretia Calo.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: But that's after the financing.
  Lucretia Calo: Oh, okay.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: See?
  Lucretia Calo: Sorry,
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Fi see?
  Lucretia Calo: sorry. Mm-mm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Um. had looks and voice recognition. Okay now on the financing we bring up the mm there it is. Okay uh energy source we say that's battery, right?
  Deborah Davis: Mm.
  Lucretia Calo: That's right.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Okay, now. So we I guess we use one.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: What? T cell or chart you are trying to change is protected. Well, that's nice. She told Lucretia Calo I could just ch change it here and then it would It doesn't work. Hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: Can you just fill it in in the yellow boxes? Or
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Oh, okay
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: yeah, okay, let's see. Okay,
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: one, okay. Oh go away. Um kinetic source so that's in the energy source that's all we need.
  Deborah Davis: Mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Uh electronics, simple chip on print? Is
  Deborah Davis: Yeah,
  Morgan Jackiewicz: that's
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: what we're using?
  Deborah Davis: yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: One of those? Come on. Okay, one. Uh regular chip on print. No.
  Deborah Davis: No.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: That's all we need, the
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: one case, uncurved flat, single curved, double curved.
  Lucretia Calo: Well.
  Deborah Davis: This is a
  Ann Haile: Single curve? Mm.
  Lucretia Calo: I guess it's double curved.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Double curved? One of those?
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Case materi s supplements. Plastic we said,
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: right?
  Ann Haile: Plastic.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Uh wood, rubber?
  Lucretia Calo: Rubber,
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Lucretia Calo: because we're gonna have the soft buttons.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Uh but, yes but
  Deborah Davis: I think uh that is uh f for rubbers
  Morgan Jackiewicz: That's
  Deborah Davis: that is
  Morgan Jackiewicz: just
  Deborah Davis: uh yeah
  Morgan Jackiewicz: for the case
  Deborah Davis: case
  Morgan Jackiewicz: material,
  Deborah Davis: material.
  Ann Haile: Is this for the
  Morgan Jackiewicz: so
  Lucretia Calo: Oh
  Ann Haile: case?
  Lucretia Calo: okay,
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Lucretia Calo: the mm-hmm,
  Morgan Jackiewicz: special
  Lucretia Calo: mm' kay.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: colours though, we having that, right?
  Deborah Davis: Mm-hmm.
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: And then we have to interface push buttons.
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Scroll wheel, no. Integrated scroll wheel, L_C_ display?
  Lucretia Calo: No,
  Ann Haile: No.
  Lucretia Calo: 'cause
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Button.
  Lucretia Calo: we didn't put the clock in it after all, right?
  Morgan Jackiewicz: No.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Uh,
  Ann Haile: Speci
  Morgan Jackiewicz: button supplement special colour?
  Ann Haile: Yes
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Special form?
  Ann Haile: Yes
  Lucretia Calo: Yes.
  Ann Haile: d we do have special form.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: And special material, rubber, wood, yes.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Okay. Total seven point six whatever that means.
  Deborah Davis: Uh, I think that's the
  Morgan Jackiewicz: That's
  Ann Haile: One two
  Morgan Jackiewicz: the
  Ann Haile: three
  Morgan Jackiewicz: price.
  Deborah Davis: price.
  Ann Haile: four five six seven eight nine
  Deborah Davis: Maybe
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Mm?
  Deborah Davis: it is it just n
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Eight, eight point two.
  Ann Haile: Nine
  Morgan Jackiewicz: That's
  Ann Haile: points,
  Morgan Jackiewicz: hmm?
  Ann Haile: okay, yes.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Eight point two, right? So, we looks like we are well within budget.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Ann Haile: Okay.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Okay. I guess I should save this I suppose, huh?
  Lucretia Calo: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Oops.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Uh-huh huh huh.
  Ann Haile: On the desktop.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: I just tried that. My
  Deborah Davis: AMI.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: documents, computer. My
  Deborah Davis: AMI
  Morgan Jackiewicz: compu
  Deborah Davis: should for
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Ah oh here it is, yes. Okay, fine. Save. Okay good, so that's the good news. We gonna be popular.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Um. So that uh I think financing was pretty simple.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Now we would like to have a presentation by Lucretia Calo on production evaluation.
  Lucretia Calo: Okay, I'll take my file down so you can bring it up.
  Lucretia Calo: 'Kay should be able to get it now. 'Kay, why don't you move just to the next slide right away.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: You wanna go to the next slide?
  Lucretia Calo: Yeah right away.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Okay.
  Lucretia Calo: Okay, well uh obviously my method for uh s m the marketing of this thing is first to ask the big question, will it sell? And I think we should show this prototype to people from various age and socio-economic groups and see about any fine tuning
  Ann Haile: Okay.
  Lucretia Calo: that maybe little things we
  Deborah Davis: Mm-hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: haven't thought of. We can't accept every suggestion of course, but maybe we just
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Lucretia Calo: need to get a few. And show the the prototype to consumer research groups, we don't s want somebody to suddenly come to us and tell us that this button is toxic and
  Deborah Davis: Mm-hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: you know some child will swallow it and then we won't sell any.
  Deborah Davis: Mm.
  Lucretia Calo: So we have to get some input from those people.
  Deborah Davis: Mm-hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: And then after that we just have to go with our best intuition and you know we like it, we think it's good, we're gonna get behind it and sell it. Um, next slide please. Okay, now the things that I was thinking and th my wish list has really been realised in this prototype. I wanted the shape to be biomorphic, I didn't want anything with angles and all square, I wanted it to be comfy and roundy. The size is small, the colour's bright and warm which is what we wanted. We wanted the feel to be as soft as possible, we'll have the soft buttons
  Deborah Davis: Mm-hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: and the way this is shaped, even though it's gonna be hard plastic, it feels good in your hand so that's nice. And functionality I put last on my list because people aren't going to use it before they buy it. So paradoxically the other features, in other words, the look, the feel um and the shape,
  Ann Haile: Fee
  Lucretia Calo: that's what people are
  Ann Haile: selling.
  Lucretia Calo: gonna get in the store.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Lucretia Calo: They don't have a television in the store, they can't play with it.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Lucretia Calo: Um so they'll be our main selling points. So um th those have been fulfilled by your prototype and go ahead to the next slide please. Okay, so um the shape um I think is a a one. That's really, really excellent shape. The size is small um and th these points are in the importance for the, for the marketing, these aren't i in how I feel. I think that it's I think that it's plenty small enough to sell but I think we're sort of right the scale is one to seven. I think we're sort of right in the middle as far
  Ann Haile: Okay.
  Lucretia Calo: as c other competitors. And our colour I think is great. The colours are bright and warm and we really do great job there. And given um the constraints that we had I think we got it as soft as possible. And then functionality um I think you did a really good job on functionality, obviously we could have ad added different functions but then we'd disturb something else so I would say that we got to a five out of seven on on functionality. So
  Ann Haile: Okay.
  Lucretia Calo: I think
  Deborah Davis: Mm-hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: that basically we've got a great product and we can get off and running with it.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Um I just realised one thing.
  Lucretia Calo: Yes.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: In the financing there was no room for our voice recogniser.
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Lucretia Calo: Ah.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: And uh I don't know how we can evaluate that or how we can include that, too.
  Lucretia Calo: Well, um we had what, eight eight euros twenty as our cost?
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Eight, eight twenty, yes.
  Deborah Davis: Eight twenty
  Lucretia Calo: And
  Deborah Davis: so
  Lucretia Calo: so we've got
  Deborah Davis: We
  Lucretia Calo: we've
  Deborah Davis: have
  Lucretia Calo: still
  Deborah Davis: um
  Lucretia Calo: got four euros
  Deborah Davis: four
  Lucretia Calo: to go
  Deborah Davis: euros, yeah
  Lucretia Calo: to spend.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: I mean maximum we have another four point three euros
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: I mean four thirty.
  Lucretia Calo: Well um that's
  Morgan Jackiewicz: But I mean we have no way of presenting that to management as you know as a f finished, as a finished product and saying okay with the voice recogniser that costs so much.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: So um we just have to beware of that. I mean
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: and know whether the four thirty will really cover that.
  Lucretia Calo: Well
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Lucretia Calo: as we know in today's technic technological world you can do just about anything at any price, the the the problem is quality.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Lucretia Calo: So we're just gonna have to settle for whatever quality
  Deborah Davis: Yeah,
  Lucretia Calo: that will buy
  Ann Haile: Yes,
  Lucretia Calo: us.
  Deborah Davis: yeah.
  Ann Haile: yes.
  Lucretia Calo: And um it may not be the greatest quality but it may sell anyway.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah,
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Yeah.
  Deborah Davis: still.
  Lucretia Calo: As we've seen with so
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Lucretia Calo: many of these kinds of products.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: I'm sorry to interrupt then but I just uh recog I just remembered that there was no that that was not um included
  Deborah Davis: Included, yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: uh that there was no room for any
  Deborah Davis: Hmm,
  Morgan Jackiewicz: special features,
  Deborah Davis: hmm
  Ann Haile: Yeah mm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: okay? So to beware of that. You wanna go to this next slide, marketing
  Lucretia Calo: Uh,

  Lucretia Calo: well I isn't this my last slide? Maybe.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: I dunno.
  Lucretia Calo: Go ahead.

  Lucretia Calo: I think
  Morgan Jackiewicz: it
  Lucretia Calo: that
  Morgan Jackiewicz: is.
  Lucretia Calo: was my last slide, yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Mm-hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: Um. Mm okay. And I'm supposed to present this scale on the whiteboard. Um and we're supposed to talk about those things as a team now, so if you put my last slide back up there.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Oh.
  Lucretia Calo: I'm sorry I've um forgot to do that, um.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Why? Wh why you need that up?
  Lucretia Calo: Hmm? Well because I can't remember what I put on there. Okay. Now I'm supposed to see how long my leash is here.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: I think you can make it there.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm 'kay. You ready. So now we're all supposed to say what we think. Um okay so on shape I gave it a one. Wait what would you ra uh one being good and seven being the worst.

  Lucretia Calo: okay. And how about on size? On size
  Morgan Jackiewicz: You you gave it a four.
  Lucretia Calo: I gave it a four, yeah, I feel it's just average.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Um, I dunno. I think I would give it at least a two.
  Lucretia Calo: Okay.
  Ann Haile: One.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah, even I think it is one.
  Lucretia Calo: Okay.
  Deborah Davis: It's quite small.
  Lucretia Calo: Okay you're the designer, of course you wanna give it a one. Um and then how about how we doing on colour?
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Colour uh I
  Lucretia Calo: Colour, I gave it a one.

  Morgan Jackiewicz: I
  Lucretia Calo: colours.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: I like the colours.
  Ann Haile: One.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: One.
  Lucretia Calo: One.
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah, one.
  Lucretia Calo: One, one, one, okay. And how about the feel? Taking into um consideration texture and comfort in the hand.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Uh, I think I would give it a two.
  Lucretia Calo: Okay, I gave it a three, two,
  Ann Haile: I'll
  Lucretia Calo: yeah?
  Ann Haile: give three.
  Lucretia Calo: Three.
  Deborah Davis: Uh maybe two,
  Lucretia Calo: Two, okay.
  Deborah Davis: yeah.
  Lucretia Calo: And the next is functionality where I I admit I was a little hard on our team here, but
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Well it's also you can't really try it out uh
  Lucretia Calo: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: the other things you have have more is are more tangible so
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: from that point of view but um I'll give it a three.
  Lucretia Calo: Okay.
  Ann Haile: Two.
  Lucretia Calo: Two, okay.
  Deborah Davis: Uh three,
  Lucretia Calo: Three?
  Deborah Davis: mm-hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: Okay. Well, um. It looks like we've got got ourselves a pretty good product. Um the functionality's the only place where maybe we have to think about m m maybe, heaven forbid, having another meeting.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Lucretia Calo: But um otherwise I think we're we're ready to go to go with this product. Anybody else have any other comments or any other things that we feel we should evaluate?
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Uh. Here is what we looking at uh satisfaction on for example room for creativity. Um. Is there more room for creativity or are we absolutely happy?
  Deborah Davis: Maybe
  Ann Haile: We can
  Deborah Davis: we can
  Ann Haile: always improve, yes.
  Deborah Davis: yeah, include some more buttons and
  Ann Haile: Yes,
  Deborah Davis: uh
  Ann Haile: features.
  Deborah Davis: um yeah features. We can make the buttons few buttons smaller. Uh I think they are quite big, so I think I I mean we can just have small buttons and more buttons in that case. If we want to have more features than that.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm. Well then again if we're gonna um do the speech recognition thing
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Lucretia Calo: we're gon there gonna be some buttons that are gonna have to be added
  Deborah Davis: Yeah,
  Lucretia Calo: for that
  Deborah Davis: definitely.
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Lucretia Calo: for the recording of the the speech.
  Ann Haile: Voices.
  Deborah Davis: Mm-hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: So that that's where we're gonna have to do maybe we can eliminate one of the mute buttons,
  Deborah Davis: Yeah, definitely,
  Lucretia Calo: instead
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Lucretia Calo: of having two mute
  Deborah Davis: yeah,
  Lucretia Calo: buttons.
  Deborah Davis: two mu mute
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Lucretia Calo: And
  Deborah Davis: buttons.
  Lucretia Calo: um then maybe we can do something with the um the volume control. Maybe we can put that all on one button.
  Deborah Davis: Hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: Um and a couple of other th maybe comp uh consolidate some of the usage an and see what we can do with that.
  Deborah Davis: Mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Y um al
  Ann Haile: And
  Morgan Jackiewicz: always
  Ann Haile: maybe
  Morgan Jackiewicz: bearing in mind that right now we are of course well within the budget
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: and that we still you know we probably can't, with this particular item, we probably can't just uh add a whole lot of more things.
  Lucretia Calo: No.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Uh
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: um we need uh you know we need to leave space money-wise
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: for the voice recogniser.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Um.
  Deborah Davis: Mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: So th the question really is how do we feel with the project process? Uh, um are we happy with the creativity that has passed here or we're not happy with the new product we created or that was created? Uh I think personally I think uh I'm pretty happy.
  Lucretia Calo: I'm pretty happy with
  Deborah Davis: Even
  Lucretia Calo: it
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Um
  Lucretia Calo: too,
  Deborah Davis: I'm
  Lucretia Calo: yeah
  Deborah Davis: happy.
  Lucretia Calo: um, it's
  Morgan Jackiewicz: an
  Lucretia Calo: something I think I can market.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Lucretia Calo: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: and then the next question is are we happy with the leadership of this project? Uh
  Lucretia Calo: I think you've done a good job, Miss
  Ann Haile: Yes,
  Lucretia Calo: leader.
  Deborah Davis: Yeah,
  Ann Haile: yes you've
  Deborah Davis: yeah,
  Ann Haile: done

  Ann Haile: a good job.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: I think team work I think was very very good,
  Lucretia Calo: Yeah
  Morgan Jackiewicz: I
  Lucretia Calo: I
  Morgan Jackiewicz: think
  Lucretia Calo: d
  Deborah Davis: Mm-hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: I
  Morgan Jackiewicz: we

  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Mm-hmm.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: And uh I think we are we happy with the means we used? We used whiteboard, we didn't use digital p well digital pens I guess are these things.
  Lucretia Calo: Yeah maybe we could've used the whiteboard
  Ann Haile: Whiteboard
  Lucretia Calo: a little
  Ann Haile: more,
  Lucretia Calo: bit more,
  Ann Haile: yes,
  Lucretia Calo: yeah,
  Deborah Davis: Yeah,
  Lucretia Calo: we
  Deborah Davis: probably.
  Lucretia Calo: didn't use
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Yes,
  Lucretia Calo: that
  Ann Haile: yes.
  Lucretia Calo: enough.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: we could. Uh, it's maybe not in the best position in the room um you know like sometimes it's positioned so that it's much better visible for everybody
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: and I think from that point of view we sort of ignored it a little bit.
  Lucretia Calo: And we
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Lucretia Calo: used the slide because it was better positioned.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Yes,
  Deborah Davis: Yeah.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: I think so,
  Ann Haile: No.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: I think
  Lucretia Calo: Mm
  Morgan Jackiewicz: absolutely,
  Lucretia Calo: I think that's true
  Morgan Jackiewicz: and
  Lucretia Calo: mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: fortunately we all had slides presentation which made it a little easier.
  Deborah Davis: Hmm.
  Ann Haile: Yes.
  Lucretia Calo: Mm-hmm.
  Morgan Jackiewicz: Um did we new did we find new ideas? I think we did.

Updated Content: Morgan Jackiewicz opens the meeting by going over the minutes of the last meeting, detailing the main points of each person's presentation. They do the prototype presentation which includes a model of the remote control. The group discusses this proposed model, approving of the small size and look of it. They goes over finances and are pleased to find that they are well within budget. However, while Lucretia Calo is doing the product evaulation the group realizes that they neglected to calculate voice recognition into the financing. Their cost had been 8.20 Euros and they have  4.30 left to cover it, so they decide to settle for whatever quality it will buy. They rate their product on its shape, size, color, feel, and functionality. They discuss the project process, talk briefly about adding more features, and one member suggests eliminating a mute buttons and include a diffferent feature. They are happy with the creativity, leadership, and teamwork within the group, and close the meeting by thanking one another.
