Creating a Business Plan

Overview

Regina Poincy-Zimmerman is a highly successful marketing account executive. Regina has noticed her current organization, Genaflek Marketing, is not progressing from use of the traditional print and media marketing methods to the utilization of social media marketing. As a result, Regina has decided to open a business to fill the void in Genaflek’s services. Regina has completed an assessment of her personal character traits and discovered she is highly oriented for entrepreneurship. Regina’s second step in planning to open a business is to create a business plan.

This assignment requires you to consider the components of a business plan. Use your background, experience, and one reading of your choice to create a functional business plan for a new company. This choice of a company may be may be a real company with which you are familiar, one that you imagine or create, or Regina’s new company.

Instructions

Imagine that you are an organizational consultant hired to analyze a plan for a new organization. In a 1–2-page outline, describe and explain the following:

Part 1: The Executive Summary
  • Describe the business and what it does.
  • Give a synopsis of the primary purpose of the business, its most important responsibilities, and how you plan to accomplish the business purpose.
Part 2: Basic Company Information
  • Name.
  • Address.
  • Telephone number and fax number.
  • Date the business was established.
  • Hours of operation.
Part 3: The Product or Service Offered
  • Describe the product or service in a logical way. Assume the reader knows nothing about your product or service.
  • Organize your product line in a thorough manner
  • Describe how the product or service satisfies the target market.
Part 4: Facts About Your Industry and Competition
  • Discuss your industry, particularly the historical replication niche in which you plan to place yourself.
  • Address your competition and your customers, especially how you plan to beat the competition.
Part 5: Management, Ownership, and Organization
  • As the owner, this section will be brief. Discuss the business style; sole proprietorship, limited-liability corporation, et cetera. If you are not the owner, a flowchart of the management of the company might be used here.
Part 6: Marketing Plan
  • Describe the manner in which you will get your name out to clients.
Part 7: Plan of Operations
  • This is the most in-depth section of the plan. How do you plan to run your business? Think about day-to-day operations. How will you obtain clients? What services will you offer? How will you satisfy client needs?
Part 8: Financial Operations
  • For this assignment, we will not complete the financial operations section of the business plan. We will revisit this section in a later unit.

Tip: To ensure the assignment is completed accurately, follow the outline provided in these assignment instructions. Good luck in engaging in this critical step of opening a new business.

Your assignment will be scored on the following criteria: 

  1. Describe a business, product, or industry. This includes Parts 1-4.

http://assets.thehcn.net/content/sites/arizona/MC_CHA2012.pdf

Final Paper Instructions:

  1. The final case study should include four sections (Symptoms, Diagnosis, Cure, and Prevention). Each section should be about 1 page in length. Your entire paper must be 4-5 pages in length, not counting the title or reference pages, which must be included. Your paper must follow the APA Requirements.
  2. You must cite and integrate at least 2 credible sources in each of the four sections of the paper. You may use readings other than the textbook to meet this requirement. The paper should be based on references to scholarly materials (rather than on introductory textbooks, popular website writings, or musings, for example) and should support your claims with evidence.
  3. Incorporate into this final plan any classmates’ critiques that you found useful as well as your instructor’s feedback.

  2. You may design this as an outline of your presentation or as a brochure to accompany your presentation with highlighted key points.
  3. The purpose of this handout is both to educate the audience about the issue and to help them follow along with you as you speak. Keep in mind that in real life you will have limited time to convince people of the gravity of the situation and to come on board with their support, so you want to be persuasive and get to the key points quickly and effectively.
  4. Your handout must be supported by at least two scholarly articles.
  5. You may use the readings other than the textbook for this course. Format your handout according to the APA Requirements.

Note: Be sure to submit both your written report and your handout for this assignment. Both files should be uploaded in a single submission to the assignment submission page.

Introduction to Performance Management Systems (one page)

/in /by

 

As we have explored, throughout Module 1, performance management systems are critical to individual and organizational success. Consider the scenario below and respond to the three questions asked.

Scenario

You are the new owner of a small business. About one week ago, you purchased this business from the previous owner who decided to retire. The previous owner was a phenomenal businesswoman; however, she did not value the importance of performance management systems. When you decided to purchase the business, you knew that you would need to make organizational changes. Based upon the information provided, answer the following questions:

  1. In your own words, explain the benefits of a performance management system in terms of employee and organizational success.
  2. Explain the implications associated with poorly implemented performance management systems.
  3. Address components that you believe your performance management system should include.

Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories (require supporting citations) in your initial response along with at least one scholarly, peer-reviewed journal article.. Use APA style guidelines. 

Be sure to support your statements with logic and argument, citing all sources referenced. Post your initial response early and check back often to continue the discussion.

You are required to reply to at least two peer discussion question post answers to this weekly discussion question. These peer replies need to be substantial and constructive in nature. They should add to the content of the post and evaluate/analyze that post answer. Normal course dialogue doesn’t fulfill these two peer replies but is expected throughout the course. Answering all course questions is also required.

Safe Assign

/in /by

 

Part 1

Safe Assign is a program that measures how much of your writing is NOT your own words and sentences. Writing that is not your own words and sentences is referred to as “unoriginal content“. It is measured by Safe Assign as a percentage of the total words and sentences in your assignment. For instance, a Safe Assign score of 18% indicates that 18% of the submission was unoriginal content. 

Please take a moment to read the “Safe Assign and Resources and Tips for Success” in the Course Info tab under Additional Resources. Also, review the Strayer Writing Standards (SWS) which can be found in the course menu. You will then respond with the following information: 

  • What is the maximum percentage score an assignment can earn from Safe Assign and still be acceptable for grading in this course? 
  • If a submission earns a Safe Assign score of 57%, will the submission be graded?
  • Can a submission with a high Safe Assign be reported to Academic Integrity? 
  • If a submission has a Safe Assign score that is too high, what must the student do?
  • If a submission is revised due to a high Safe Assign score, and the revision is still to high to receive grading, what are the two possible grades that student can earn?
  • If a student wishes to see their Safe Assign report after the paper is submitted, what must they do to obtain the report? 
  • What impact do quotations have on the Safe Assign score? 
  • What is the best way to lower a Safe Assign score? 
  • Why might a submission be submitted to Academic Integrity? 

Part 2

Have you witnessed unethical practices in the workplace? If so please share your experience with the class and explain how this impacted your perception of the business.

If not, please find a current example of unethical business practices, share the source, and explain how you would have handled this situation differently. 

Discussion for EPIC PROFF

/in /by

What factors must a firm consider when deciding to raise or lower its price? In answering this question think about the content in Chapters 4 and 5 and use a real-world example that helps illustrate your answer.

The Discussion Board Forum should be considered as weekly short essay. In order to receive full credit, answer every question according to the instructions and the discussion Writing Grading Rubric.  Please always use the Critical Elements as checklist to ensure you have fully addressed the requirements of the DB Assignment. You need to read the textbook and understand the concepts before you answer the questions. It is mandatory that you use proper managerial economic language or concepts such as “isocost”, “isoquant”, “elasticity”, “net present value”, “time value of money”, etc. on your posting.  Additional research is required and strongly encouraged. Make sure to cite the sources of your research at the end of your posting. You may add graphs or charts when applicable.

Hello Class:

Please review the following for Examples/Illustrations that clarify Course Material:

Companies can use the price elasticity of demand for products and services to set pricing policies. Price elasticity indicates the sensitivity of customers to changes in pricing, which in turn affects sales volumes, revenues and profits. Optimal pricing policies maximize profits by charging exactly what the market will bear. Managers may adjust their pricing strategies depending on changes in the competitive environment and in consumer demand.

Demand Curve

The demand curve is a two-dimensional graph of price on the vertical y-axis versus quantity on the horizontal x-axis. This curve slopes down because demand generally increases as prices fall. A vertical demand curve means that demand is the same regardless of price, while a horizontal demand curve means that price is constant regardless of demand. The shape and slope of the curve depend on the product, consumer income and the competitive environment.

Price Elasticity

The price elasticity is the ratio of the percentage change in quantity to the percentage change in price. For example, if quantity decreases by 20 percent for a 25 percent increase in price, the price elasticity is -20 divided by 25, or -0.8. The price elasticity is always negative because of the downward slope of the typical demand curve. However, people generally refer to the absolute value of the price elasticity, which is 0.8 for this example. A price elasticity of less than 1.0 means that demand is not very sensitive to price, while an elasticity greater than 1.0 mean that demand is increasingly sensitive to price. The price elasticity is low for essential goods because people have to buy them even at higher prices. The price elasticity is high for non-essential and luxury goods because consumers may not buy them at higher prices.

Optimal Pricing Policy

Optimal pricing policy is also known as perfect price discrimination, which means that a company segments the market into distinct customer groups and charges each group exactly what it is willing to pay. The optimal price and volume refer to the selling price and volume at which a company maximizes its profits. It is impossible for a small-business owner to know exactly what consumers are willing to pay because he would have to poll them at regular intervals. Still, he can make reasonable assumptions based on historical sales patterns and set his product mix and pricing strategy accordingly.

Significance

Optimal pricing is possible only when there is a difference in price elasticity for different consumer groups. For example, a grocery store chain may price the same item higher in a wealthy neighborhood, in which consumers may be less sensitive to price, and lower in a working-class neighborhood, in which consumers may be more sensitive to prices. The factors that affect price elasticity include the availability of substitute products and the proportion of disposable income required to buy certain product. The price elasticity will be high if consumers can buy alternative products or if they have to pay too much of their income.

How the new vision will affect Job Performance and Job Commitment

/in /by

 

Week 2 Brainstorming Discussions

Must post first.

Topic: How the new vision will affect Job Performance and Job Commitment 

Keeping Job Performance and Commitment High

As a follow up to week one’s Memo the CEO is trying to have you understand as a new hire that your major concern amidst the change that will be coming to VMI is how you might keep job performance and commitment to the company running smoothly. Using the same Memo Format as in week one, answer in the follow-up questions for the CEO:

Directions: 

1. By FRIDAY, complete the following:

  • Explain your understanding as to what job performance is and why it is important to a sustainable organization.
  • Given your knowledge of the company history and current status from the company profile, identify three areas that the vision of the future of the workplace might create a challenge for keeping the organization moving efficiently.
  • Explain your understanding as to what job commitment is and why it is important to a sustainable organization.
  • Given your knowledge of the company history and current status from the company profile, identify three areas that the vision of the future of the workplace might create a challenge for keeping employees at VMI. (Be sure to address in detail other examples of employee commitment besides retention.)
  • Discuss how your role as manager relates to job performance and commitment. How will this role be challenged in the future workplace? Give three examples.
  • You must use course material to support your responses and APA in-text citations with a reference list.

2. THROUGHOUT the week, complete the following:

  • Respond to your classmates three or more days throughout the week. Remember you are trying to develop the best answers to the questions as possible. Your classmates are doing the same so read the posts carefully looking for the best ideas being presented.  The goal is that by the end of the week the class will come to some consensus as to the best answers giving you the chance to submit the best ideas in the final post.
  • You must use course material to support your responses but you do not need to use APA in the brainstorming discussion with the exception of Friday’s initial first impression post.
  • Participation is worth 2.5 points each week (20% of the final grade). Participation must be reflected in the final post so grades will be affected by the content portion of the post if participation is not shown. Therefore, it is important to get in the class often and with the idea of improving your initial post with the discussion so that the final grade will be the best you can deliver.

3. FINAL POST, complete the following:

  • Attach your final post in the classroom by Monday at 11:59 p.m. ET.
  • The final post must reflect the brainstorming activities and should be different than your Friday initial post.
  • The final post must include a variety of sources from the class material as well as the use of scenario or case study facts where appropriate.
  • It must USE APA in-text citations and reference list.

Brainstorming is a technique that seeks to collect a myriad of ideas about a problem in an effort to find a unique and often innovative way of handling the solution. It can also be a way of collecting information about a situation or produce feedback about a particular topic. Brainstorming works very simply with only three rules: No idea is too far fetched, all ideas are to be accepted by the group for consideration, and the ideas must focus on the topic presented for discussion not whether the idea will work or not. Obviously, many ideas will be discounted later on when constraints like budget or implementation impossibilities may block its consideration for successful implementation. However, for the purpose of this discussion focus only on suggesting ideas from the class material and research which will answer the topic under discussion. Use the following template for your memo format

Instructions:

Human Services Professionals are charged with understanding client needs at individual levels and much more complex levels. Addressing client needs involves being able to understand the resources that are available as well. Though we work independently and under supervision, we work in concert with our colleagues and with other programs and services within the community. Utilizing diverse skillsets allow an agency/organization to offer a broader and more adaptable range of products and services. Diverse teams are more productive, perform better, and provide the opportunity for continued education and professional growth.

For the Module 05 Written assignment, you are going to develop a three-page paper in which you will address the following four steps:

Step 1: Identify two different client populations. Examples of client populations are as such:

  • Clients Identifying as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered,
  • Clients with a Physical Impairment
  • Clients with Mental Health Diagnosis(es)
  • Clients who are Elderly
  • Children and Adolescents
  • Clients Identifying with an Ethnic Group
  • Clients Identifying with a Religious or Spiritual Group

Step 2: With the two client populations that you have indicated, identify 3-5 primary needs associated with many persons with this population.

Step 3: Develop a hypothetical scenario for both populations that you have chosen. Be certain that you provide specifics into the problem with both hypothetical scenarios.

Step 4: Identify specific community-based resources that assist with addressing the primary needs of the two client populations and the problems associated with the scenarios that you have developed. Conduct a search of local resources within your local community and national resources and provide detailed commentary specific to these identified resources.

APA Requirement: Please ensure that you meet the page length requirement and that your paper is double-spaced throughout. Also, please ensure that you have cited all facts throughout your work with parenthetical in-text citations and that you have a Reference Page at the end of your work.
