4.3 Discussion: Research-based Marketing Plan Initial Proposal – Pricing, Promotion, and Distribution Channels

/in /by

 

  1. Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.
  2. Construct a proposal to JGJ Inc. of 1000 words (+/- 50 words) using at least four credible and objective sources not provided as resources in the course in your analysis, plus at least one source provided in the course reading list.
  3. Use the titles in the Market Analysis Report Template to create six sections for this part of the consultant’s report:
    1. Analysis of Current Pricing Models in the Market
    2. Analysis of Current Promotional Models in the Market
    3. Analysis of Current Distribution Models in the Market
    4. Recommended Pricing Strategy for JGJ Inc.
    5. Recommended Promotional Strategy for JGJ Inc.
    6. Recommended Distribution Strategy for JGJ Inc.
  4. The first three sections require significant quantitative data and will be used to support the three recommendation sections. These analysis sections should provide a solid overview of existing competition with enough specifics from primary competitors to demonstrate a mastery of the market. You will not need to detail every competitor in the market; you should focus on those competitors which will be closest to JGJ Inc. in the positioning matrix and/or those who hold the largest market shares.
  5. You do not need to necessarily use a different strategy than the competition in any of the three recommendation sections, but your recommendations must provide a logical and substantially strong argument for why your set of tactics will be successful. Going head-to-head is very difficult so your combination of tactics must meet the standard that it has a high likelihood of success. You should be creative and use the most current methods and trends to establish differentiation for your target customers.
  6. Cite your work per current APA standards, however, indenting of the references is not required due to the discussion board format.  (See OCLS APA Writing Styles Guides)
  7. Post your initial proposal into the discussion forum as a post, not as an attached file.
  8. Please note the relatively low point value of the initial report is not reflective of the time required or importance of this assignment. The assignment should be viewed as the total of the initial report posted and revised final report submitted and the combined total points for both steps. Further, your goal here is to provide your peer with a complete initial proposal so that you can receive valuable feedback to improve your revised final report.

Clinical Field Experience D: Intervention Implementation

/in /by

 

Upon identifying an appropriate intervention tier and aligning intervention strategies for students, teachers are able to begin the implementation process. Implementing identified intervention strategies during instruction will not only help to meet the students’ needs, but also help teachers to identify where to monitor and adjust instruction as needed. Planning, implementing, evaluating, and planning again is an ongoing, cyclical process when working with all students.

Allocate at least 3 hours in the field to support this field experience.

With your mentor teacher, identify an ELA lesson or activity in which interventions from the Clinical Field Experience C intervention plan can be implemented to benefit the previously identified student/s.

Continuing to work with the mentor teacher:

  • Identify an upcoming grade level ELA lesson or activity to implement applicable interventions from the Clinical Field Experience C intervention plan.
  • Discuss strengths and potential improvement for the student/s.
  • Implement the identified intervention strategies with the student/s during the agreed upon ELA lesson or activity.

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.

After the ELA lesson or activity, summarize and reflect upon your experiences in 250-500 words:

  • Describe how the student/s performed on the ELA activities, and reflect upon your experience implementing the intervention strategies. Include possible changes you would make in the future when implementing these strategies.
  • Describe how the student/s could utilize one of the intervention strategies at home.
  • Explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

discussion – Bid only if you can meet budget

 250 words each part with in-text citation and one scholarly reference.

Part 1

Assume that you have been appointed to develop a training department for your organization. What are some considerations that must be evaluated and implemented when organizing a training department? Describe the types of training activities that are appropriate for managers. What about executive personnel? Why must you ensure that training for managers and executives differ from that of subordinate personnel?

 

Part 2

It is ironic that at the same time that we are struggling with privacy issues relative to our national security – we are also reviewing privacy issues related to our personal behavior – such as shopping online. Isn’t it true that we have been pushed into situation where we will are forced to accept that our behavior is going to be tracked by technology and by other means too.

But, class, wouldn’t you rather give up some privacy if it means that in the long run our country is protected from cyber-attacks? We, as individuals are easier targets of identity theft. Not a pleasant thought, but there are things we can all do to help deter and prevent personal cyber-attacks – right? What are some of those things?

Continue this discussion with part 2.

Do some research online about smartphone security and answer the following: What steps can individuals and businesses take to make their smartphones more secure?

Create Case Studies

/in /by

This week it is time to apply what you have learned over the past few weeks. For this assignment, create three case studies, each 2-3 pages in length. A case study tells a story. Your cases can be based on personal experiences, events you have heard or read about, or they may be a fictional story, but do not use real names of people or organizations. To help guide you in this assignment review Developing a Case Studyin this week’s resources. Be sure each case addresses the areas below.

  • Present a situation or problem with no clear-cut or correct answer;
  • Present characters who are obligated to determine decisions and resolve the issue;
  • Apply information to tackle the issue presented in the case;
  • Assess possible resolutions requiring critical thinking; and
  • Include sufficient information for a thorough analysis.

Includes sufficient information for thorough analysis.
Length: Each case should be 2-3 pages in length for a total of 6-9 pages excluding the cover and references pages

References: Include a minimum of 2 scholarly resources for each case study. Only one reference page should be included in all three cases.

The completed assignment should address all of the assignment requirements, exhibit evidence of concept knowledge, and demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the content presented in the course. The writing should integrate scholarly resources, reflect academic expectations and current APA standards, and adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.

Part B: You are to think back over the course of US History from 1877 to the present day. Think about the individuals who have been a part of that history.

  1. List 10 historical figures (U.S. history 1877 to the present) that you would invite to dinner. These individuals can be alive today or be deceased. They CANNOT be related to you. These individuals must be part of American history, not simply an influence on American history. After each name, list 3 clear and distinct reasons why you would choose that person. (this part is worth 30 pts.)
  2. After you have all 10 listed along with the 3 reasons, think about what is occurring in our country today. Choose one issue of today that is significant in the United States. Your task is to find a solution to that issue, based on how you think your 10 member committee would solve the problem. Your solution is based on a plan created by all members of the team, NOT individual solutions. This means that all members of your committee have a part in the solution and you must describe the contribution each would make. Please remember that their individual contributions must be realistic. In other words, their contributions must be in line with actions they have taken in the past. You cannot simply “fit” each person into your plan if the actions you are assigning are not something that person would more than likely do or has not done. Again, it must be realistic and have a historical basis (this is worth 30 pts.)

/in /by

  

Competency

Identify the role projects play in meeting the goals of an organization.

Scenario

You have just been hired as a Project Manager for Kingston-Bryce Limited and have been assigned your first project. Kingston-Bryce Limited (KBL) is a custom furniture manufacturer that specializes in hand-crafted dining room tables. The Board of Directors has identified an opportunity to purchase a competitor that also specializes in custom furniture. The acquisition of the competitor will enable KBL to expand operations and triple their workforce and will take 18 months to complete. In order for this acquisition to be successful, you will need to use your project management skills to ensure success.

Instructions

Your first task is to create a project plan outline for the Board of Directors in Microsoft Word or Excel. You will need to create the timeline in Excel and copy that timeline into the Word Document. The project outline is essential for documenting all of the necessary tasks and milestones necessary to complete the project. The project is expected to take 18 months to complete, and the major milestones are broken up by quarters. You will need to be creative and develop the following items as if you were running the project.

Include the following (you will need to create these items):

  • tasks and milestones;
  • a project description/scope;
  • key stakeholders;

1500 words horror story including elements of the unknown and privelent

/in /by

Directions: Write a scary story (between 1,000-2,000 words) that uses elements of absence

(the unknown, the unconscious, the unseen, paranormal, unexplained occurrences, and the

unexpected) and elements of presence (helplessness, urgency, suspense, tension, intensity)

as you tell a tale of fear, a malevolent force, or a supernatural being.

Order of ideas: Your story should flow in a way that makes sense. It will most likely be

chronological or reverse-chronological, but you can incorporate flashbacks or repeat events

from different points of view to mix things up.

Story: Your story should include a beginning, rising action, a distinct climax, falling action and

resolution (ending.) There should be a mix of descriptive narration and dialogue. There should

be a buildup of suspense and intensity to suit the genre.

Some Suggestions to Consider:

*Internal Conflict: Your character may become their own worst enemy! The villain might lie within the character’s

heart, soul, or mind! (Psychological fear is real in a scary story. Your villain might be a figment of the character’s over-

active mind or fears)

*Surprise Twists: Try to make the story unpredictable by adding elements of surprise. Leave the reader in suspense

before showing the actual conflict, villain, or scary moment.

*Details: Use the powers of description and imagery (sensory details) to enhance the creepy/uncomfortable mood.

Don’t hold back! Let the reader experience the physical sensations that accompany the character’s fear along with

the vivid awareness of the senses.

*Techniques: Vary your writing style: Use action, conflict, internal dialogue, conversational dialogue, flashback,

foreshadowing, back story…

 Instructions: By now, you are probably tired of school and need a creative outlet. The satire is usually the class’s favorite assignment because you can let a little of your hostility out, your creativity to show, and have some fun. Enjoy!

Definition of satire from Wikipedia.org (see more on the page if you want more information):

In satire, human or individual vices, follies, abuses, or shortcomings are held up to censure by means of ridicule, derision, burlesque, irony, or other methods, ideally with the intent to bring about improvement. Although satire is usually meant to be funny, the purpose of satire is not primarily humor in itself so much as an attack on something of which the author strongly disapproves, using the weapon of wit.

In this satirical essay, “A Modest Proposal,” Swift proposes outrageous “solutions” to the problem of children from poor, predominantly unmarried women. This paper is also a metaphor because the British were, in fact, “feeding off of” the children, due to forced child labor laws.

For your fourth paper, in the style of a satire, choose a real problem in the world today and propose an “unorthodox” solution as Swift did. For example, you may want to pick our war on drug usage and propose that all drugs should be made legal, improving our tax base by taxing them as we do alcohol and cigarettes. Feel free to run ideas past me. Write the paper using a recommendation strategy as though you are completely serious (and you may actually be!). Let your imagination and sense of humor take over.

Areas of possible discussion, but feel free to think of your own issues, no matter how small or large. Please DO NOT use prison overcrowding for your topic, as I have seen too many of those.

Topic Ideas (Feel free to use your own too)
Areas of possible discussion, but feel free to think of your own issues, no matter how small or large. Please DO NOT use prison overcrowding for your topic, as I have seen too many of those.

Prostitution **** See below

Plagiarism

Drugs (Be aware of current drug laws across the country, though. Marijuana legalization is not satire, for example).

Pornography

College Student Stress

Violent Crime (Be specific)

Global Warming

Teen Pregnancy

Inflation

Traffic

Mad Cow Disease

Overcrowding

Racial Discrimination

Private Gun Ownership

Illegal Immigration

Voter fraud

Fashion Mistakes

Sexual harassment/discrimination

Pollution

Taxes

Bad Court Decisions

Gun violence

Ryan Lochte’s Rio situation

The rise of Trump

Anti vaxxers

Pokemon Go

Texting while driving, walking, and so on
Others? Be creative!
(****Please keep in mind that throughout time and in many parts of the world, including parts of the US, this is legal, so merely legalizing it for tax revenue, etc is NOT satire. Many people are quite serious about its legalization, so you have to be really outlandish to use this topic).
ALTERNATIVE, IF WRITING SATIRE IS TOO MUCH OF A CHALLENGE:
Write an evaluation style essay of the Swift piece along the lines given in the text for evaluating literature (interpretation). Is it an effective essay? You might even try adding research on how it was received when it first came out or what the conditions were like for the people he was writing about, or about Swift specifically and his political views.
LENGTH: 1,000 to 1200 words
