You are the Brand Manager for the new imaginary company that you\’ve created. Your current assignment is to put together a marketing plan for your company. In a marketing plan you will always find an Executive Summary. An Executive Summary is a brief section that summarizes the main points of the marketing plan. A marketing plan always opens with an Executive Summary; because it acts as an overview of the entire marketing plan, typically, it\’s one of the last sections written. You will start your Executive Summary and submit it as a draft. Your final summary will be turned in with your final marketing plan in Module 06. In 1-2 pages, start your Executive Summary by providing the following information: Introduce your company. Briefly provide company background information, how long you\’ve been in business, and any accomplishments or successes.Describe your business activities. What is the nature of your business? What products or services do you offer?What is the name and description of the product or service being introduced? Why is there a need in the market for this product?What are the goals for your company/product? Your goals should be in quantitative terms, where possible, to facilitate measuring the company\’s future performance.An example of a non-financial goal: \”Starbucks will diversify its product lines to achieve 30 percent of sales revenue in latte products in the next three years.\”An example of a financial goal (note it is specific and measurable): \”Starbucks will increase sales from $8 million in 2011 to $12 million in 2013.\”

There are five of them—based on the last chapters from the second part of the semester. Before we get to them though, here are a few reminders/comments (in no particular order)… these comments apply to what we’ve done before as well as the upcoming test answers which are due on the last day of the semester—officially Saturday, July 9th. You are asked to please e-mail me the five answers by sometime that day. If you need more time, please ask for it so I know when the answers will be arriving. If you’d be so kind to place the answers within the body of an e-mail, that will be helpful to me; I try to open whatever students send me but often my firewall provisions (depending on where I am working from) discourage it. There is no specified format and no minimum or maximum length. Just to give you a perspective though—each answer could conceivably be about a paragraph or so each—including the example. If you use a quote, reference it specifically (BTW, TV shows are a wonderful resource in my opinion—in all my years in business, TV has never been better for supplementing learning).

Quality is preferred over quantity in the business world; IOW your longer answers are not better. Definitions are not important to us, as most organizational behaviorists cannot define thigs, but they can explain them and quickly say, “For example…” which is what I am requesting from you. Your opinions matter less as we’ve discussed than demonstrating a thorough understanding of the topics. Some students get confused by this. Relating topics to your own one, not multiple example/story/experiences is not the same as rendering your subjective views—it means explaining things to us showing that you “get it.” This is just as a practicing OB manager would do.

The only use of the Discussion Board for Sunday through and including Wednesday (our last week) is optional in case you want to “pitch” your good answer examples to the group, having no fear they will be stolen from you—for one of the main criteria for an effective answer is a unique, specific example. A good place to start is your own team, club, workplace, house of worship, etc. These potential postings have nothing to do with grading at this point; it is merely a powerful feedback mechanism. Others can feel free to chime in, but I will attempt to share feedback as much as possible to help your answers along (through WEDNESDAY, July 6th). One important piece here, this does not mean to do the questions and post them and say, “Here, what do you think?!” That’s not what the offer is. It is brief, simple feedback on ideas of how to answer best.

As also previously mentioned, please pay close attention to profitability, increasing revenue and/or decreasing costs. Every manager should be concerned with these, always. (My partner talks about the three legged stool they used at Disney: Cast Members, Guests, and Profitability).

GSP will matter a lot for grading purposes for the test answers (just a reminder that this test is worth 20% of the final grade).

Question One is taken from the Leadership Chapter. Please take a topic or theory. Explain it by discussing an example of it “in action.” Identify it by traits, and focus on if it will likely more increase profitability or decrease from it. I realize it can be both at the same time- but through your example please just deal with one aspect.

Question Two is taken from the Power and Politics Chapter. We hear/read a lot about power being misused. Please site an original example of some type of power being used in a positive way. Positive here means that it not only adds to profitability, but it seems to serve the healthy needs of all involved (employees, customers, shareholders, etc.).

Question Three is taken from the Foundations of Organization Structure Chapter. Which is better, to be centralized or decentralized? Your particular example will answer the question for that particular example.

Question Four is taken from the Organization Culture Chapter. We learn in Sociology that Culture determines what is good, true and beautiful. Describe a particular culture of a company. Big hint here is you’re probably better off choosing a small company so your answer is different than others in the class. If I didn’t stress this, we may end up with multiple people using Nike, Starbucks and Google—to name a few. The rationale here is the more specific and unique is your example; the more you are demonstrating you understand the concepts. So please follow all the suggestions and instructions within these paragraphs and you will effectively do that (recall that’s all any test is supposed to be doing anyway—measuring do we get it).

Question Five is from the Diversity Chapter. What would need to occur in a particular company to be able to eliminate any programs to encourage AA and/or diversity training?

\”Strategy and Positioning Analysis\” template for the cosmetic firm \”MAC\”. a 750-word analysis explaining the following headings: at least two sources of research that support your analysis; at least one must be the textbook, one from the University of Phoenix library, and one piece of secondary research.   your assignment consistent with APA guidelines.

Assignment 1: Assessing Management Functions The assigned reading for this module explained the four functions of management (planning, organizing, leading, and controlling). While all are important, sometimes, one or more might be seen as more critical given the unique situation of the organization. One function might be weaker in the organization and may need to be improved. Maybe there is a certain set of circumstances in which the organization finds itself such that one management function might need to take center stage, etc.Assume that you are an internal consultant for your current or a past organization and have been asked to assist managers in the execution of their job.: You may use the chart of functions and sub tasks on page 179 of the textbook as a guide if you wish.In , you will be asked to devise potential solutions for all four management functions at the task level. You may use the one selected in this assignment.

Read in this order: from Sidewalk (and the whole book is uploaded, so use the table of contents to help yourself navigate) read \”How Sixth Avenue Became a Sustaining Habitat (begins on pg 115),\” \”Sidewalk Sleeping (begins on pg 157),\” and \”The Space Wars: Competing Legalities (Begins on pg 231),\” then read Chronopoulos\’s chapter \”The Radicalization of Spatial Regulation\”. You no longer need to watch the video (which was originally on the syllabus). Chronopoulos\’s chapter is upside down–just rotate accordingly.

After reading the aforementioned, answer the following:

How did the homeless men in Sidewalk try to create a semblance of stability in their lives—particularly in maintaining an income and sustainable habitat? What methods were used by city authorities and business elites to eradicate the public spaces in which New York’s most destitute struggled to survive? Finally, how did the Giuliani administration operate in its drive to lower crime rates and remove the Big Apple’s image of disorderliness, and who were most affected?

BTW–\”Broken windows\” policing theorized that by removing images of disorderliness and petty crime, larger (and more violent) crimes could be eliminated. The theory rested on this tenet: if a window is left broken in a given neighborhood, it is not only disorderly, but attracts outside criminals who believe crime will be tolerated–thus, if the window, or disorder, is repaired, then criminals will know to go elsewhere. While it sounds practical, when applied to society, it meant that homeless men and other destitute individuals were reconceptualized as \”broken windows\”–as objects of disorder that needed to be swept away (but if you\’re homeless, where do you go: don\’t you have the right to be in public?). During the 1980s and 1990s, as neoliberal and neoconservative agendas reigned in NYC and much of the nation, homeless populations swelled, particularly in cities like New York. This was also a time in which mayoral administrations struggled to craft a new image for the Big Apple (one away from its image of fiscal/urban crisis). Caught up in this fight to \”clean up the city\” were those in abject poverty.

What was the turning point that ultimately led the American colonists to sever their ties and bonds to the British North American Empire?Discuss.

 is a legal term for the lack of training or inadequate training that can be used in a lawsuit to prove the organization did not use reasonable care and thus did not provide an employee with all the knowledge and the basic skills to provide a safe environment for the guest. In many cases, justification has been used to hold the operation liable for the actions of the employee. For example, Sam was hired as a bus boy at a restaurant. One of his duties is to refill beverages (hot and cold) to the guests. On the day he started, the person who was to train him was sick. Consequently, Sam was not trained properly. One day, when he was refilling hot tea for a guest, he did not put the lid on correctly. Sam spilled hot water on the guest. He was so shocked that he blurted out that he was sorry but he never learned how to properly put on the lid. The guest decided to sue and used negligent training of the employee during the lawsuit.Using the online library, Internet, or other course materials, find an article on negligent training.In 3–5 paragraphs, address the following:
