Kronos is actually a very nice name, sounds sharp and is of course, pertinent to the product at hand. Best of luck with the class, and make the best of business school. I know at times it can kick your ass, but you can make great friends and learn so much!!!

In reference to your project, be careful with the pricing - pricing is actually an art as it is a science. As you mentioned, you don't want to price yourself out of the market, seeing as how the simulation gives you very specific parameters as to the general market from which to draw your target. Does the simulation include numbers about the general market. Will the target market justify enough of a market to make a profit (then again, maybe this is not part of your simulation). Sorry, I'm geeking out here. Best of luck!

yeah I like KRONOS.

that's the name of the time system we use to punch in and out of work. so yeah, there might be a copyright issue there if that's something you arne't aloud to do for the assignment.

True, you might want to rethink that name if you're getting graded on originality at all. KRONOS is already a major name in timeclocks and related software, and there are also KRONOS wristwatches already in existence.

People associate class products by their name. Associating is subliminal, sometimes suggested by a preconceived idea.

Names like these have preconceived class:
Monte Carlo
Monaco
Riviera
Rodeo
Florence
Newark

You can also look into other items that people associate with :
Diamond
Tierra
Pearl

Just some ideas I had when studying marketing.

He could go with "TIEMPO".






After a quick search of Kronos on google, they do have a couple companies called that mostly software. Now if "KRONOS" isn't known by the teacher what the hell....
