Read Chapter 13 – I have attached to upload files. I have also attached a sample paper.

This week we concentrate on chapter 13 which focuses on case analysis. Please note the difference between actually conducting a case analysis and the different decision making techniques that will enhance the process. Understand the difference between the five steps involved in actually conducting the case analysis and the twelve chapters we covered over the past seven weeks that actually presented information which would be useful in the more effective process of case analysis.

Answer the questions below for this forum:

1 – Discuss the two primary methods to use conflict to improve decision making and give an example of when you would have used one of these techniques in

1.There are six questions; you need to answer ( Five) of them.

2. The answer for each question should include at least 150 and at most 200 words.

3. Do not write the questions on your assignment; providing the number of the answer is enough.

4. Your assignment should be double-spaced.

5. Use Times New Roman 12 pt.; using another font with a font size larger or smaller than 12pt will result in 1 point deduction.

6. Use 1 inch or (2.5 cm) margins all around.

7. Do not put any images (e.g., flowers, shapes) to decorate or ornament your paper, it seems unprofessional.

8. Do not put extra space between paragraphs.

9. Use black as font color; do not write in red, blue, or any other color. Just use black.

10. When answering questions you need to elaborate your point enough and refer the theories, findings, and applications discussed in the OB book and OB literature in general. If you do not refer to theories, findings, and applications, then you will not get full credit for your answers

I have included the instructions for the essay as well as the feedback of the preliminary assignment stating what should be improved on and changed.
The reason I’m putting 10 sources is because i already have 6 from the preliminary assignment and just need an additional 4. All 10 sources are important for this

i have to write two pages
the first page i need it for chapter 1& 2

Description:

Lots of interesting stuff here, but most useful and most connected to previous conversations might be some reflection on the nature of life choices. (We actually briefly discussed Barry Schwartz’s research on the paralyzing character of too much choice early in the semester.)

Let’s have you take up one of Krznaric’s questions: Reflect on the kinds of career choices that you have — in comparison to those available to your parents and grandparents? How are they similar or different? Are they similar in number? In quality?

Have a go at that for about 1pg.

the second page for chapter 3 & 4

Description:

Krznaric himself gives plenty of thought experiments worth pursuing and those could be worth systematic reflection. But here are some other choices — don’t try to write about more than one:

(a) reflect a bit on “status.” Everyone knows or thinks they knows about money and income and its likely impact on happiness and satisfaction, but status is a bit trickier. Is it something you think about? Is it something your parents thought about? Can you see yourself refusing work or leaving a job because of relative lack of status? How does status engage our ego differently than money?

(b) Try out Krznaric’s choice mapping/imaginary lives exercise that he gives you on pg 88-90 and write it up.

(c) With other groups of students I’ve worked with, Krznaric’s maxim of “act first/reflect later” is always most troublesome. It’s alternately liberating and terrifying — a gut response (a “blink”!) — and counterintuitive. What is your sense of the pros and cons of his insistence on this strategy or commitment?

This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a marketing plan and sales strategy, and a marketing budget. Note: You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment.

For the first six (6) months your company is in business—to give you time to perfect your product and to learn from actual customers—you will start marketing and selling in your own community, a radius of twenty-five (25) miles from where you live.

For most non-alcoholic beverages, marketing (as opposed to the actual product itself) is key to success. Cola drinks, for example, are fairly undifferentiated, as are many energy drinks, juices, bottled water, and the like. Companies producing these types of beverages differentiate themselves and attract market share through marketing and brand awareness—both of which are critical to success.

Section 1: Marketing Plan & Sales Strategy (MS Word or equivalent)

Write the three to five (3-5) page Marketing Plan & Sales Strategy section of your business plan, in which you:

1. Define your company’s target market.
   • Analyze the types of consumers who will be drinking your beverage in demographic terms (i.e., age, education level, income, gender, ethnic group, etc.). Support your analysis with actual data on the size of the demographic groups in your local community (nearby zip codes).
   • Outline the demographic information for your company specified on the worksheet in the course text (p. 107 | Demographic Description). Click here for help accessing a specific page number in your eBook.
     • Hints: At American FactFinder (http://census.gov), you will find demographic information on potential consumers in your area. If you are selling through other businesses (such as grocery stores), indicate the number of those businesses in your local area. You will find information about such businesses in your local area at County Business Patterns (http://www.census.gov/econ/cbp/). Check Chapter 2 of Successful Business Plan for more research sources.
2. Assess your company’s market competition.
   • Use the factors listed in the course text graphic (p. 123 | Assess the Competition) to assess your company’s market competition.
   • Defend your strategy to successfully compete against market leaders in your segment.
     • Hints: For example, in the soft drink market, it is intimidating to try to compete against Coke and Pepsi. Newcomers in mature markets typically must pursue niche markets or even create new market categories, as Red Bull did with energy drinks.
   • Defend your plan to differentiate yourself from the competition using the information detailed on the worksheet in the text (p. 131 | Market Share Distribution).
     • Hints: Every business faces competition and the non-alcoholic beverage market is an especially crowded market.

3. Clarify your company’s message using the information provided on the worksheet in the text (p. 160 | The Five F’s).
   • • Hints: Before you choose your marketing vehicles, you must determine the message you want to convey through those vehicles.
4. Identify the marketing vehicles you plan to use to build your company’s brand. Justify the key reasons why they will be effective. Provide examples of other non-alcoholic beverage companies that use these tactics effectively.
   • • Hints: If you plan to use online marketing tactics, refer to the worksheet in the text (p.171 | Online Marketing Tactics) to aid your response. Remember that even if you’re selling through grocery stores you need to build your brand and social media is a major part of that in regard to beverages. Some of the marketing tactics that beverage companies use include: sampling in grocery stores, building a following on social media, sponsoring events, exhibiting at trade shows attended by retailers, and so on. You will use a combination of these tactics. For example, if you decide to give out samples in grocery stores, promote your sampling on your social media networks and those of the grocery store.
   • • Hints: If you are planning to distribute through resellers, describe how you plan to reach them, for example, through industry trade shows or by establishing your own sales force. For information on trade shows, visit the Trade Show News Network (http://www.tsnn.com). You can exhibit or network at these shows.

5. Format your assignment according to these formatting requirements:

Section 2: Marketing Budget (MS Excel worksheets template)

Section 2 uses the “Business Plan Financials” MS Excel template (see: Course Required Files in Week 1). Use the “Business Plan Financials Guide” (see: Course Required Files in Week 1) to support your development of the Marketing Budget.

6. Complete the Marketing Budget worksheet for your company.
   • • Hints: The goal of the marketing budget is to help you determine how much it will cost you to reach your market and achieve your sales goals.
     • Hints: When filling out the “Marketing Budget” worksheet in the Excel spreadsheet:
       • Begin in the current year and complete a marketing budget for the first year of your business. The information you enter in the marketing budget spreadsheet will flow through to your “Income Statement” in the Business Plan Financials.
       • Leave the number at zero (0) for any marketing vehicles you do not intend to use.
       • Remember that all marketing activities involve costs. If social media represents a significant portion of your marketing, assume you will have cost of advertising and that should be reflected on your budget. Even if a social media site charges nothing to use it, you will need to use company resources to manage the site, pay someone to execute your social media marketing campaigns, and will most likely pay for ads on that site.
       • Do NOT leave the “Marketing Budget” blank, assuming you will not have any marketing costs.

Assignment 1: Discussion—Finance Organization and Long-Term Planning

Considering Genesis’s aggressive growth plan, Sensible Essentials suggested that its client should broaden the scope of financing beyond short-term loans and consider long-term financing options. These options would greatly enhance the ability of the operations management team to fund the capital investments and growth in operating expenses.

One option is selling more equity in the company. A public stock offering might be a possibility; however, a company as young and small as Genesis might be hard to value. Sensible Essentials believes that another private investor might require preferred stock dividends in order to mitigate some of the financial risk. Another option is a long-term bank loan.

Acting as the finance expert for Sensible Essentials, respond to the following:

• Identify the sources of long-term financing for Genesis.
• Analyze the potential costs and benefits of each option.
• Explain how relative risk (from the investor’s perspective) impacts the cost of capital for Genesis.

Write your initial response in 3–4 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

By Saturday, November 21, 2015, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Wednesday, November 25, 2015, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. In your response, do the following:

• Respond with substantial comments to enrich discussion and the learning experience.
• Contribute new, relevant information or quotes from course readings, Web sites, or other sources. Build on the remarks or questions of others, or share practical examples of key concepts from your experience, professional or personal.

Write your initial response in 300–500 words. Your response should be thorough and address all components of the discussion question in detail, include citations of all sources, where needed, according to the APA Style, and demonstrate accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation

Do the following when responding to your peers:

• Read your peers’ answers.
• Provide substantive comments by
  • contributing new, relevant information from course readings, Web sites, or other sources;
