Strategic Groups and Marketing Decisions

Complete the following discussions:

Although strategic groups tend to be rigid, they are by no means fixed. One of the things managers have to be aware of is which firms may change group membership. With the results from Year 13 of the simulation, consider the following:
Why do firms tend to cluster into strategic groups?
Would it not make sense for firms to spread out across strategic spaces? Why or why not? Explain your rationale.
How likely is it that firms competing in other strategic groups will adapt their strategy to compete directly against you? Explain your rationale.
Which firms currently not in your strategic group would be most likely to try and enter your group? Why?
Firms also sell in the Internet markets and have to coordinate the Internet marketing strategy with the branded marketing strategy.
How do firms that are successful in the Internet market balance their sales there with those in retail markets?
Is there any evidence showing firms that emphasize the Internet channel are being hurt in the retail channel and vice versa? Support your answer with examples.
A firm has to market an athletic shoe product line that it orders from its factories. Which decisions on the Production and Labor screens are critical to coordinate with the firm’s marketing strategy? Why?

You are in the midst of preparing the departmental budget for the year. The next portion of the budget is the coding staff development budget. You currently have five coders in your department.

In a word document prepare the following:

A staff development plan for the coding staff for the coming year.

A. First step of this assignment is to assess the needs of your staff:

What resources will go for staying current with the new code changes, rules and guidelines?
What continuing education will keep staff current on the latest procedures and techniques done within your facility that may impact coding?
What resources will go training based on the feedback from the last peer-to-peer audit and also the last external audit.
What professional development do your coders need or want in the areas of topics like HIM, electronic health records, general computer skills, or supervisory or interpersonal skills.

Develop a prioritized list of what training is needed for your coding staff. Look at the training opportunities that may be available at low cost or no cost. D. Also consider the amount of time the coders will be away from their production responsibilities while attending these training events. Will your accounts receivable be impacted if all the coders are out at a two-day conference? Will you have to replace their productivity with temporary staff?

Assignment 2: LASA 1: Legal and Ethical Leadership and Management

Mathis, Inc. is a designer and manufacturer of women’s clothing and specializes in high-end women’s winter fashions. Normandale, a retailer, sells high-end products in malls throughout the country. With Mathis’s high costs, Normandale is unable to make a profit from the sale of Mathis’s products.

Countess Lori-Ann (CLA) is a Mathis competitor. Normandale sends photographs and samples of the Mathis line to CLA and instructs them to make an identical line at a lower price. Mathis labels are easily discernable in the photographs and the samples have the Mathis label attached. CLA copies the Mathis line for Normandale.

CLA sells the clothing to Normandale at a low price allowing Normandale to sell the products for a total gross profit of nearly $3 million, an increase of nearly 50% over its sale of Mathis products. Mathis discovers that Normandale is selling counterfeit products, and sends several cease-and-desist letters to them—to no avail. Mathis then sues Normandale alleging Normandale has engaged in illegal conduct. Normandale counters that it did nothing wrong.

Research business law in regard to protection of intellectual property using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Based on the facts of the case and research, write an analytical paper. In the paper, respond to the following questions:

Was it ethical for Normandale to sell the alleged knock-off products at a lower price? Explain.
What federal or state laws protect owners of intellectual property? How do they apply here? Explain.
What damages, if any, has Mathis suffered because of Normandale’s conduct? Explain.
What are the differing views on the social responsibility of corporations like Normandale?
What ethical code could Normandale implement to prevent similar incidents in the future?
Do the owners of Normandale have personal liability to Mathis for damages? Explain.
Do the owners of Normandale have personal criminal liability for their conduct and that of the business? Explain.

Write a five-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards for writing style to your work.

Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M3_A2.doc. For example, if your name is John Smith, your document will be named SmithJ_M3_A2.doc.
