Positioning is the choice of target market and differential advantages.The object is to create and maintain a distinctive place in the market for a company and its products.(Jobber and Fahy,2002:116) According to the phychographic segmentation, the customers who buy Innocent smoothies are well-to do, time poor, health conscious.They do not have enough time to eat various fruit or to prepare healthy meals. They can be young workers, middle aged people, family that live in cities and are very busy with them works but are concerned with their health and they want to consume the right amount of fruit and vegetable per day, and they want to live a healthy life (StudyMode, 2014).

The first life cycle theory appeared in Zingales (1995). It suggested that take-over targets are easier for potential buyers to spot when they are public. Furthermore it is easier for potential buyers to pressure the targets for concessions on price than it is to pressure external investors. Thus in theory an IPO facilitates the acquisition of their company at a higher price than an outright sale. However, although the potential price may be higher with an IPO, IPOs are also often costly to perform with their fees, listing requirements and underpricing. Secondly as Black and Gilson (1998) argue, the IPO is often not an exit strategy for entrepreneurs; but for venture capitalists. This is supported by lock up periods that exist for the entrepreneurs and that typically when the firm sells equity in the IPO it belongs to non-executive officers (Brennan and Franks 1997).
