You will analyze Starbucks various foreign entry strategies through the years from inception until 2014. Instructions: 

• Review the case study, Starbucks Foreign Entry Strategies, from your reading in this Unit. 

• Answer the three questions provided in this case study.  

 • Minimum of two pages in length, excluding the Title and Reference page. 

• APA format, including an in-text citation for referenced works. 

• At least three resources. 

  1. Starbucks has become a phenomenon worldwide, with more than 24,000 stores in more than 60 countries. Sales are great even at relatively high prices for its products. This can perhaps be explained in the United States (and other wealthy markets), but how can Starbucks’ success be explained by its foreign market entry in less developed and emerging markets?

2. Do you expect that the growth of the number of Starbucks stores worldwide will continue into more countries, or do you expect Starbucks to focus on more stores in the foreign markets in which the company already has at least some stores already established?

3. With the CEO and driver of the company—Howard Schultz—stepping down as the company’s unquestioned leader, do you expect Starbucks to change its foreign market entry strategy in any way?

1. Classmate (L. Wal)

Counselor: Hi Alex, welcome.  How may I help you today?

Alex: I can’t seem to get a good night’s sleep.

Counselor:  What do you think is going on?

Alex: I am scared to fall asleep.  My dreams can be really scary.

Counselor:  How long has this been going on?

Alex: For the last 6 months.

Counselor:  How many hours of sleep do you think you get per night?

Alex: Maybe 2 or 3 hours

Counselor:  Do you drink any sodas or juices before bed?

Alex: I sneak two or three Cokes sometimes when I am playing video games with my older brother.

Counselor: What video games do you play before bed?

Alex: I like playing grand theft auto.

Counselor:  What time do you go to bed after playing the video games?

Alex: Around 11pm or 11:30pm or maybe midnight

Counselor:  Did you like sleeping before those scary dreams started?

Alex: Yes

Counselor:  How long did you sleep before falling asleep and waking up?

Alex: Ummm…I would go to bed at 9pm and sleep until 7am.

Counselor:  If we could make the nightmares stop and get you some more sleep, then would you be happy?

Alex: Yes, that would be great.  I just feel edgy all the time now.

Counselor:  When you had those scary dreams, what images did you see in that dream that scared you?

Alex: I saw parents dead and I was all alone and did not know what to do next.

Counselor: Thank you for sharing!  I could not imagine how difficult it would be for me if I had a dream that I saw my parents or family members dead.  I think I would also be scared to fall asleep and have trouble getting a good night’s sleep.  Some of the long-term consequences of sleep-wake disorder include increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, heart attack, and stroke.

Alex: You would be scared too?

Counselor:  Of course.  I would be frightened too.  Having these types of nightmares would terrify me too.

Alex: Really?

Counselor:  Definitely.  What are your thoughts of taking some kind of sleep aid for a week or two to get you some more sleep ad make you feel better?

Alex: Ok

Counselor:  I would like you to see a physician and see if either there is something you can take to make you fall asleep and not have any more nightmares.  Lunesta is a medication that is typically used to help people with sleep issues.  Sinacola, Peters-Strickland, and Wyner (2020) noted how Lunesta (eszopiclone) is a sleep aid for those suffering from insomnia and trouble sleeping through the night.  Typically, 1mg or 2mg is prescribed to help you fall asleep and stay asleep.  It probably will only be used for 7-14 days, due to the risk for abuse or dependence.  Would that work for you to get you back to sleeping 8-9 hours per night?

Alex: Yes, I need to ask my parents.

Counselor:  Definitely, let’s bring in your mother and father and discuss this as an option and get their thoughts.  If this medication does not work for them, then we could also explore some other ones too.  Don’t worry.  Your physician will have various options to help you fall asleep, get rid of the nightmares and bad dreams, and keep you sleeping through the night.  You will also notice the difference in how you feel during the daytime and in school.  This type of medication or similar sedatives in conjunction with counseling, will likely produce the best outcome to get you back to sleep and feeling like yourself again.

Alex: That would be nice.

Counselor: Let’s call your parent back and share some options with them and get you connected with a physician as soon as we can.

Alex: Ok.  Thank you!

Counselor: You are more than welcome.  Happy to help you get back to feeling like yourself again.

2. Classmate (L. Mil)

Mini script

Alex, what you are describing sounds like a type of sleep disorder. I can understand how frustrating it may be having a lack of sleep interfere with your social and school life. Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night? You mentioned that this is disturbing your school and work environments. Can you explain more of that to me?

Most times sedative medication can aid in regulating your sleep patterns. You may want to speak with your physician about starting a sedative if you are interested. Ambien is a sedative that helps you fall asleep and stay asleep (Drugs.com, 2021). We can follow up each session and discuss what changes you see.

If you decide that medication is not the way you or your parents want to go, there are other options. One is practicing good sleep hygiene. Try not to go to sleep while watching or playing on your phone. If you do, use the night mode setting which decreases the amount of blue light (Sinacola, Peters-Strickland & Wyner, 2020). This helps your body know that it’s night time. Also, try to go to bed at the same time each night. When you do so, try to unwind about one hour before that time. 

Questions for Alex

Do you often drink caffeine or energy drinks throughout the day?

How many hours of sleep do you typically get each night?

Do you often get drowsy during the day? 

Do you work out or do an active activity while in school or after school?

Further review

Based on Alex’s explanation of symptoms, more information is needed to make a diagnosis and recommend medication. This can determine if his sleep problems are chronic or situational (Sinacola, Peters-Strickland & Wyner, 2020). The counselor should evaluate Alex further for other mental health conditions or significant stressors. Once that is complete, the counselor can recommend Alex for a sleep study to help determine a treatment plan.

3. Classmate (T. Dav)

Counselor: Hi Alex, I’m glad you was able to make it in today. Is the reason for your visit today that you are experiencing sleep wake disorder? Can you discuss with me your sleep regiment on a usual basis? 

Counselor: Okay so from what I understand you usually only get a few hours a sleep a night.

Counselor: Alex, do you know that there are five stages of sleep? “Stage 1 and 2 is called the theta stage which is the light stages of sleep. Stage 3 and 4 is called the delta stage. In this stage the person is in a deeper sleep and they would have to be shaken to be waken. The person would also be groggy when awaken. “(Sincola, R., Peter-Strickland, T. & Wyner, J, 2020)

 

Counselor: When you are sleeping if your name is called do you wake up instantly and feel groggy? Or do a person have to shake you for you to be awaken? 

Counselor: So on a normal basis how many days of week do you think you are in the theta stage of sleep before you are awaken? 

Counselor: Do you normally awake on your own or do someone or something normally wake you? 

Counselor: Okay so usually your brain is racing the reason for your inability to sleep am I understanding you correctly? 

Counselor: I wanted to discuss with you the benefit of using therapy and medication for sleep disorder. Lunesta is a medication that may be prescribed by your physician to help with your sleep disorder. “Counseling will also be a benefit because it will help identify issues and stress that is associated with sleep disturbance. As a professional I am able to help you with coping skills and relaxation training.” (Sincola, R., Peter-Strickland, T. & Wyner, J, 2020)

 

Counselor: Do you have any questions about anything that we have discussed thus far?  

Counselor: Okay great I wanted to talk with you about the the long-term consequences of sleep-wake disorder. Some things that has been associated with sleep loss is a “large range of detritus health consequences including increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, heart attack and stroke.” (National Academies Press, 2006) The information I am providing is not to scare you but to make you aware of the seriousness of what could happen if this disorder is not treated.

Counselor: I have had problems sleeping in the past and I understand your frustrations and how it is affecting your everyday life. I am here to help in anyway possible. The Lunesta your physician prescribed along with therapy will help you be able to relax and be able to achieve stage 5 sleep which is the REM Stage within the near future. “During this stage is when you have the majority of your dreams.” 

Counselor: Do you have any questions about anything we have discussed today? If you don’t we will end for today and get you scheduled for a session next week.

1 day agoSarah Mocho u08d1 Prompt 3COLLAPSE

I believe manding should be one of the most intensive interventions in a child’s plan. I really enjoy naturalistic environment training, so contriving manding situations is something I find fun. Out of curiosity, what are some of the ways you all have implemented contrived manding situations in your own work settings? I have experience as an RBT in home and clinical settings, so I am interested to hear how others in roles other than RBT have contrived opportunities for verbal operants. 

 
2 days agoNia Davis Unit 8, Prompt 2COLLAPSE

When I first got hired for my job, I had to complete orientation. One of the many procedures we learned was to Nurture Heart. Nurture Heart is a procedure recommended to use every day with a client to build a repertoire with them. Alongside Nurture Heart, verbal de-escalation is implanted with clients to avoid or reduce crisis. I wouldn’t compare to Skinner’s Verbal Behavior. Skinner’s book took them to understand and was eventually used in much scholarly work, but Nurture heart is a technique that can be used, but it appears to work but not on everyone.

Discussion 7For this discussion post, I thought you all could do something a little different around two famous works of art from one this week’s chapters – Van Gogh’s Starry Night and Munch’s The Scream. Both are enduring and very popular artworks that have found their way into our popular culture. 

1. Watch the three videos on Munch’s The Scream and Van Gogh’s Starry Night that are in this week’s module. 
   • There is one video for Van Gogh and two for Munch.  I’ll be able to see how much you’ve watched and some of your points for this discussion come from that. 
2. By Sunday, in 150-200 words or more, describe how you connect to either original work by Munch or Van Gogh. 
   • Questions you can use to help guide you include: What did you think this work meant and was that the same or different after  learning about it from the videos and textbook reading? What stands out to you about the artist and what they were attempting to do with their art? What do you like about their approach to painting? What questions do you still about about the work?   (Links to an external site.)
3. Next find a contemporary take on one of the two paintings. You’ll need to post first to see everyone else’s.
   • This can be a parody, a reimagining of the painting edited to include something else, a meme, new use (say an album cover) or recreation. Find it in a film or music video? No problem add away. It’s totally open! See the two examples below. Again, you just need to pick one 
4. Then, in 100-150 words or more, explain what was done to change the work from the original to your reworking. 
   • Think about what new meaning does this create? Why do you think the original work, the Van Gogh or Munch, was picked for this parody?  
5. No need to comment or include sources here as this prompt is more based on opinion.
6. But….remember to embed your image!

March 21, 2010, was not EBP’s date of birth, but it may be the date the approach “grew up” and left home to take on the world.

When the Affordable Care Act was passed, it came with a requirement of empirical evidence. Research on EBP increased significantly. Application of EBP spread to allied health professions, education, healthcare technology, and more. Health organizations began to adopt and promote EBP.

In this Discussion, you will consider this adoption. You will examine healthcare organization websites and analyze to what extent these organizations use EBP.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and reflect on the definition and goal of EBP.
• Choose a professional healthcare organization’s website (e.g., a reimbursing body, an accredited body, or a national initiative).
• Explore the website to determine where and to what extent EBP is evident.

Post a description of the healthcare organization website you reviewed. Describe where, if at all, EBP appears (e.g., the mission, vision, philosophy, and/or goals of the healthcare organization, or in other locations on the website). Then, explain whether this healthcare organization’s work is grounded in EBP and why or why not. Finally, explain whether the information you discovered on the healthcare organization’s website has changed your perception of the healthcare organization. Be specific and provide examples.
