Assignment 1: LASA 2—The Marketing Plan

The marketing plan format is one that is utilized by major  corporations all over the country. However, writing a comprehensive  marketing plan is a difficult and challenging task, yet, the ability to  write such a plan is critical to the development of a marketing manager  and an organization. As you draw to the culmination of this course,  apply all that you have learned to develop a comprehensive marketing  plan.

Directions:

Identify a company you would like to use for this assignment. This  should be an organization that you are familiar with, or have access to  their information. You will complete a comprehensive marketing plan,  which will include an analysis of their current market situation. In  other words, ask yourself: Is the industry growing? What is the market  share for the organization that they represent? Who is the dominant  player in the marketplace? Remember, you will need to justify your  approach using market research and data.

The second step in the process is the actual writing of the plan.  Think about the following: What are the goals and objectives for the  organization? What is the timing of the plan? What resources will be  required to achieve the plan? What are the financial goals?

In your marketing plan, be sure to include the following sections:

  1. Executive Summary and Table of Contents

In the executive summary, make sure you address all the main goals  and objectives of your plan. These goals and objectives need to be  clear, measurable, and reasonable.
 

  1. Situational Analysis

A situational analysis presents a snapshot of the market in its  current state by describing the company’s products/services, target  segments, distribution networks, and position of the products/services  in the segment, along with competing offerings and relative positioning.  It includes current and future assessment of the business conditions  and challenges. Within your situational analysis, analyze all the  following points:
Market summary
SWOT analysis
Competitor analysis
Product offering
Keys to success
Critical issues
Pricing
 

  1. Marketing Strategy

The marketing strategy describes the planned direction and goals of  the marketing activities, incorporating facts and assumptions about the  market size, growth, and financial objectives. Think about the following  questions: Where do you see your business going in the next 3-5 years?  What is unique about your product portfolio? How will you tell the  consumer about your products and unique value proposition? How will you  stay connected to your target market’s needs and wants? How will you  price your product? Within your market analysis, be sure to address the  following:
Mission
Marketing objectives
Product positioning
Marketing mix (4 Ps)
Marketing research
 

  1. Financials

The financials of the marketing plan describe a set of five-year  revenue, cost, and profit projections for the marketing plan, including  any initial startup costs, sales by channel and segment, and profit  margins. Think about the following questions: How much do you plan to  sell? What are your factory cost targets? What is your profit target by  percent and dollar amount? Remember to include the following in your  financials:
Sales Forecast
Profit targets
 

  1. Controls

The controls of the marketing plan describe the budget tactical  activities for implementing the plan, as well performance benchmarks for  each activity. These include pricing, product configuration, promotion,  and distribution performance benchmarks, and plans for changing any of  the parameters if performance measures are not met. They are in place to  measure forecast and profit attainment. Forecasts should be reviewed  monthly and quarterly. Secondly, a 12-month calendar should be developed  to clearly target specific dates for product introductions and  promotional activity.

Remember to include the following:
Milestones
Implementations and timelines
 

  1. Summary

The summary of the marketing plan should summarize the plan by  summarizing the size and scope of the opportunity, and reiterating the  STP (segmentation, targeting, positioning) and 4 P (product, price,  place, promotion) elements of the plan. It should tell the reader that  the plan is real, how you will win, and why it is worth pursuing as an  organization (RRW). This section should be no longer than one page.
Remember to review the grading criteria as you write the plan to ensure you address all needed elements.
 

Use the grading criteria to guide your report. Make sure you include  details within your analysis to support your ideas. Use proper grammar,  spelling, and APA style throughout. For more information on modeling the  buying process, refer to your textbook.

Write an 8–12-page report in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

  1. Researching the Effectiveness of Human Resources
    Overview
    Businesses protect themselves against legal considerations by ensuring all employees are treated fairly and by remaining in compliance with regulatory requirements. Many organizations utilize a human resources department to monitor the activities involving human capital. The human resources manager engages in the development of human capital from a strategic viewpoint while guarding various aspects of employee rights, morale, placement, and compensation. Many of the human resources manager’s decisions are guided by regulatory requirements.
    The purpose of this assignment is to compare and contrast the necessity of a human resources manager where different organizational sizes are a consideration.

Medical Office Management-Assignment 8

/in /by

  

Part A: A pharmaceutical representative has just arrived at the office of Dr. Joseph Henderson, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon. The waiting room is swarming with patients waiting to see Dr. Henderson, because he was delayed with an unexpectedly complicated lumbar spinal fusion and laminectomy.

The representative is very insistent, almost belligerent, about seeing the physician immediately, even though she did not have an appointment to see him. In fact, the visit was totally unexpected, as the representative had just been in two weeks ago. Last time the representative was in, she gave Dr. Henderson a variety of readily usable and dispensable medications. She has more of the same today—injectable cortisone with Novocain, muscle relaxants, NSAIDs, and even some Tylenol with codeine. Usually, Dr. Henderson is quite receptive to receiving these samples, as they help ease the financial burden on his patients for whom he uses or to whom he dispenses these samples. The office is, in fact, running quite low on these particular medications because of Dr. Henderson’s heavy patient load.

Provide detailed answers for each of the following questions. Your response should be at least 150 words in length.

· What is your response to the sales representative?

· Should a sales representative ever take precedence over scheduled appointments?

· Does the fact that Dr. Henderson is usually quite anxious to receive any and all samples for his patients enter in as a factor?

· Does the diminished supply of these samples alter the situation?

· Can the medical assistant ever accept delivery of any or all of these samples?

Part B: Dr. Jonas runs a private practice. He admits patients and makes rounds in two local hospitals. He uses one type of EHR software in his private office and two other packages in the two hospitals. Not only must Dr. Jonas learn three software systems, but he also may at times be unable to move patient information between those systems because of incompatibility. What might Dr. Jonas do to address these issues? Your response should be at least 100 words in length.

Part C: Lisa Medina, a certified coder, performs medical coding for a large multi-specialty clinic. You have just been hired as Lisa’s assistant. She has asked you to review the encounter forms for the day, on which physicians have checked off the diagnoses of each patient. You notice that Dr. Parker, an endocrinologist, has checked off the box for Diabetes unspecified for most of his patients without checking off any manifestations or complications. You think this is unusual because many diabetic patients do have complications.

Provide detailed answers for each of the following questions. Your response should at least 150 words in length.

· What are the options for handling this situation?

· Which option would you select? Give three reasons for your choice.

· With whom should you consult before acting on your choice?

Part D: Sarah Egan is the office manager in Dr. Williams’s practice. Nell Jacobs, who has worked as a CMA (AAMA) in the office for one year, has frequently been absent or tardy on Mondays. Sarah suspects that Nell has a drinking problem. However, Nell has never arrived at the office intoxicated—until today. Sarah has just observed Nell stumbling in the parking lot when getting out of her car. Her speech is slurred, and her breath has a fruity odor that Sarah thinks could be alcohol. Nell does not appear to understand anything that Sarah is saying to her.

Provide detailed answers for each of the following questions. Your response should at least 250 words in length.

· Given the situation, as the office manager, what should Sarah do immediately regarding Nell?

· If Sarah decides to send Nell home, should she call Nell’s husband to come and get her, or, perhaps, insist that Nell go home in a cab?

· Does Sarah have an obligation to tell Dr. Williams about her suspicions regarding Nell?

· Should this incident become part of Nell’s employment record?

· Is this incident grounds for firing an employee?

· Because Nell is a CMA (AAMA) and works with patients, is it within Sarah’s rights to demand a blood and urine screening for alcohol and drugs?

· Should the police be notified of the incident?

· If Nell is indeed intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol, is Sarah obligated to refer Nell to counseling at an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility?

Observation of Social Behavior

/in /by

Please Make Sure this Paper is an original paper & not a plagiarized work. Thank you!

NOTE – DUE TO THE CURRENT PANDEMIC, I AM SHIFTING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS PAPER – INSTEAD OF GOING TO A PUBLIC PLACE, PLEASE CONSIDER HOW YOU CAN OBSERVE SOME OF THESE THEORIES IN A SAFE MANNER FROM YOUR OWN HOME. SOME POSSIBLE EXAMPLES ARE LOOKING AT THIS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, OBSERVING BEHAVIOR FROM YOUR WINDOW, SEEING DIFFERENCES IN VARIOUS NEWS OUTLETS, ETC. SOCIAL BEHAVIOR CAN BE OBSERVED IN ANY NUMBER OF WAYS WITHOUT ACTUALLY GOING OUT IN PUBLIC. IF YOU NEED HELP DECIDING HOW TO OBSERVE THE THEORY YOU CHOSE, PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME VIA EMAIL SO WE CAN FIGURE IT OUT TOGETHER. STAY SAFE AND STAY HEALTHY EVERYONE!

Conduct an observation of human social behavior in a public place (i.e., supermarket, church, nightclub) but not in a private area (i.e., bathroom, bedroom). Specific references should be made in the observation to principles discussed in class. These may include: altruism, attraction, conformity, gender, group influence, persuasion and/or prejudice.

Project Components

  1. Title page: On your title page, in addition to your name, e-mail address, course title and number, and title of your observation, name the site of the observation.
  2. Goals: In this section, list two to three goals for your observation. You might want to view social behaviors between genders; examine social behaviors among ethnic/racial groups; or determine age related social behaviors in a group. Useful terms include investigate, discover, reveal, (one page).
  3. Research question: For this observation , you must have a specific question or set of questions that you are trying to answer. You might explore, for example, whether participants in your setting have any characteristic behaviors which are observable. In this section, state the question you are trying to answer. Your question must be detailed and specific. For example, are there distinguishable behaviors that lead a man to ask a woman to dance in a bar setting?; What are the specific behaviors of people who are paying attention in church?; Do older people influence the behavior of younger people?
  4. Populations: Are there specific typologies that can be formed based on the social behaviors observed? For example, “Cautious Carl” is the driver who has both hands on the wheel, drives no faster than the speed limit, and maintains a serious look on his face. “Smiling Samantha” is the woman who talks to all the people she passes in the supermarket aisle.
  5. Abstracts: Locate five abstracts from social psychological literature relating to your observation. Attach the abstracts to your paper and explain how the research helps form the research question for your observation.
  6. Introduction (the setting): In this section, discuss the setting in which your observation will occur. Include sufficient detail so that it is clear how the setting might have affected behaviors discussed throughout the paper.
  7. Observational sessions: In this section, detail the behaviors which occurred during your observation. You should have between 1 to 3 sessions in your setting.
  8. Results: In this section, state the results you observed related to your research question. Also, explain why you drew the conclusions you drew based on the behaviors. Include theories from social psychology that point to these results. Discuss the influence of your own experiences on your observation results.
  9. References: In this section, list the references you quoted in your paper. Add a bibliography of books, articles, and Web sites that you recommend regarding your observation.

Kindly view the Observation of Social Behavior Rubrics carefully, there are two different grading rubrics.
