In this assignment you will be building up a formal, research justification report (one part at a time) that culminates in a recommendation to implement a particular product, service, or program in your place of employment. This recommended product , service, or program should resolve a problem that you identify in your workplace and should be directed to your employer (even if you do not actually plan to share it with your employer). Use the basic outline below to draft Assignment 2. Organize your responses to each question under the following section headings: Problem Statement (for Question 1), Overview of Alternatives (for Question 2), Criteria (for Question 3), Methods (for Question 4). Using the provided template, write Part 1 of a single-spaced report in which you: Discuss in detail a problem at work, persuading and convincing the reader that it needs fixing. Provide a detailed description of two (2) possible solutions (alternatives) that could be implemented to resolve the problem identified in Question 1. List and detail five (5) criteria that you will use to measure the worth of each alternative in Question 2. Note: The alternative that satisfies the most criteria to the highest degree will be the one you recommend later to your employer (in Assignment 2.3). Criteria are standards that the audience values and are therefore used to measure the worth of each alternative (common examples include cost, desirability, durability, efficiency, time it will take to take to implement, and practicality). Describe in detail how you will conduct the research needed to determine the best alternative (common examples include cost, desirability, durability, efifciency time it will take to implement, and practicality). Describe in detail how you will conduct the research needed to determine the best alternative to recommend to your employer. Note: This is a one to two (1-2) paragraph description of what research needs to be completed in order to evaluate the alternatives. This is not a detailed procedure for solving the problem.

Within the Discussion Board area, write 600–800 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

You spent the last week reflecting on both your appreciation of Deborah’s praise and the success of the organization, and then had a long weekend with your family. As you walk in to work on Monday, all you can think about is how excited you are about the future of the company.
You sit down at your desk and get started on updating the project plan and preparing the marketing proposal for Deborah when there is a knock at your door. When you call for the person to come in, Anna, the financial analyst, enters.
“Good morning,” she says. You are surprised to see that she looks nervous because Anna usually has a smile on her face.

“Hi, Anna. Is everything okay?” you ask.

“Well,” Anna begins, “I just finished our quarterly report. Our profit margins have dropped by 2% this quarter.”

After Anna leaves to send her report to Deborah, you start to wonder how you and your team can help fix this. Is a global strategy the answer, or should the company continue to focus on the domestic market?

You call a project team meeting to learn about the progress of their research.

Tiffany, one of your team members, begins the discussion. “I think we need to look at some of the internal factors,” she says. “We know what our capabilities are on the domestic front, but what about in the global market? We have a fairly strong market presence here in higher-end markets, but how does that translate globally?”

“Well, I think we need to identify a benchmark to give us some more information to make a better decision,” you explain. Answer the following:

•What is your benchmark?
•Did it benefit from global expansion? If so, how? If not, why?
•Did this benefit or hinder the benchmark\’s domestic market share? Explain.
•Were there risks associated with the globalization?
•How were these risks minimized?

Watch the video case study \”Geek Squad: A New Business for a New Environment.\”

Read the case study discussion on pp. 88-89 of the Marketing text. Keep this case study in mind as you complete this assignment.

Write a 825-word report using your company or one with which you are familiar (a transportation company). Answer the following questions for your chosen organization.
When writing the essay copy the five bullets and write under them when answering the questions

•Explain what the specific key environmental forces are that created an opportunity for your company.
•Identify if there have been changes in the purchasing patterns of your organization\’s target market in recent years.
•Conduct an environmental scan for your chosen company to identify key trends. For each of the five environmental forces (social, economic, technological, competitive, and regulatory), identify trends likely to influence your company\’s marketing efforts and product offering in the future.
•Explain what differentiation strategy your company should undertake to encourage their target market to choose them over other competitors.
•Analyze what lessons you might learn from the Geek Squad case study.

Include at least three references, at least one of which must come from the University Library.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

There are two task, please finish both of them. I upload two sample of these task, you can check it. if you need to choose a company, it would be better to choose a UK or China Company. if not, please ignore that. thank you
task one:
This assignment requires you to select a published research paper from an academic, peer-reviewed journal, the paper should cover a business, management or economic topic. The paper must be based upon primary research, i.e. upon research data gathered by the authors of the journal, rather than upon an analysis of data gathered previously by others. Advice and guidance on how to search and ensure you have selected a suitable paper will be provided in the Assignment 1 Workshop on Friday the 22nd. Individual students are encouraged to pick a journal article well before the assignment deadline, so they can make sure they are comfortable with its content.

You then need to critically evaluate the research. This evaluation should cover:
1. What the aims and objective of the research are.
2. What research approach and philosophy is employed. Is the approach and philosophy appropriate for the aim of the research and why?
3. The strengths and/or weaknesses of the specific research methods used and their implementation in the research. You might wish to comment on, for example, sampling issues, interview techniques, questionnaire design, data analysis etc.

You should make reference to theory and literature on research methods to support and underpin your analysis and discussion. These sources should be referenced using the Harvard referencing scheme.

task two:
Assignment task(s)
This assignment requires you to formulate a research aim to address a business or management issue to form the basis of your dissertation, and research question(s)/hypotheses and research methods to study that research aim and question(s). You may choose to use purely secondary research methods, if appropriate. You within the assignment you must:

1. Present your research aim and research question(s).
2. Discuss the key area/s of literature upon which your dissertation/thesis will draw and identify how your research will contribute to scholarly knowledge of the topic
3. Detail your research methodology and strategy (e.g. inductive/deductive; positivist/interpretivist; qualitative/quantitative etc.) and state why these choices are appropriate to your research aim.
4. Detail your specific research methods (e.g. telephone interviews, postal questionnaire survey) and why these are appropriate to your research aim.
5. Identify the possible limitations and the likely ethical issues of your chosen methods, problems you might encounter in implementing them, and suggest how you might address these.
6. NOTE: If you are proposing to use only secondary research you must (Failure to do so with result in a H grade):
a. Explain and evaluate your choice of secondary research as the sole research method, and
b. Identify the sources of data that you intend to use.
c. Evaluate the research methods used to generate at least one of the secondary data sets you identified above.

The assignment should act as a standalone assignment; as such it will be marked independently from the dissertation that is being proposed. It is therefore imperative the assignment includes enough detail for the marker to understand what is being proposed. Therefore it is not simply enough to say statistical/qualitative analysis will be used without explaining what form of analysis will be used and how it will answer the research question(s) proposed. A good indicator as to whether it contains enough detail is that a marker who is not aware of your proposal beforehand, should be able to undertake your proposed project and analysis after reading your proposal.

Use your research to address the following prompts:Remember to use a professional writing style and refrain from sharing personal opinions unless asked for. Your responses should be based on information you discovered while researching your non-profit organization (NPO). The word count of 300-500 words must be adhered to. However, it is even more important to demonstrate that you engaged the material deeply, and that you are able to use what you read and watched, to back up what you write.
