Pricing strategy (Economy)

January 13, 2020 2 Comments APA, Business and Management

Pricing strategy varies significantly across different market structures.  The pricing guidelines in a monopoly market are relatively straightforward.  Since the company is the only producer offering the product, it can mark-up the price as far as the customer can bear.  The pricing strategies for a producer operating in a perfect competition structure are also fairly intuitive. They are price takers, and hence price is set at the marginal cost of the product.  This is due to the fact that there are many firms offering nearly identical products.  However, there is optimal pricing for the market structures offering differentiated products with many competitors (oligopoly) or a few producers (monopolistic competition). These are much more complex and involved.  It has been stated that differentiation in products that creates differences in customer valuation is the most prevalent type of competition.  In such markets pricing strategies may include the three Cs of cost, competition, and customer.

Develop a paper detailing an analysis of market structures and relating pricing strategies that are suitable for each of these structures.  Furthermore, include a real world example of pricing strategy for a specific company by identifying its market structure.

Business Decision Big Data

January 13, 2020 3 Comments APA, Business and Management

Define business analytics and Big Data.
State examples of how data are used in business.

It is difficult to read any business periodical or journal without running into the term big data. A Google search on the term will return some 263 million results. Granted, there is a lot of hype about the topic, but its existence is real and its impacts are profound.
Two especially relevant aspects of big data impacting businesses today are predictive and prescriptive analytics, the latter being less familiar to most people.

How do prescriptive analytics impact your chosen career field (military)?

Do you think it is currently important or do you think it is yet to be widely adopted?

Find, summarize, and reference a mainstream news article or research article supporting your response.

Assignment 3: Your Organization (Matt & Nat)
Weight: 50% of your final grade
Length: 5000 words or less

Prepare your assignment in a format that is compatible with Microsoft Office. Do not submit your assignment in PDF or any other format that is not easily edited in Word. If you do, your assignment will be returned unmarked.
When naming your assignment file for submission, be sure to include your last name, the course name, and the assignment number, as in the example below:
smith_ADMN404_assign3.docx
General assignment information and requirements are provided on the Assignments: Introduction, Assignments: Marking, and Assignments: Guidelines pages. Pay close attention to the information in the Assignment Rubric.pdf
Use American Psychological Association (APA) style to cite and list sources.
The maximum word count for this assignment is 5000 words.
The word count for Assignment 3 is from the beginning of the Executive Summary up to the end of the Recommendation/Implementation section. It does not include your title page, footnotes, endnotes, appendix, or list of references. It does include any tables, charts, or visual aids that are included in the body of the report.
Note that your assignment will be returned to you unmarked if it is over 5000 words in length.
In the event that you should submit your assignment and it is over the maximum word count and past the end of your contract date, the marker will stop marking at the 5000-word mark.
Note that as you are provided with a comprehensive marking rubric, you will not be able to submit your assignment for review or redo your assignment once it has been marked.

Assignment 3: Your organization that has been approved via Assignment 0.
Review the FAQs (if available) related to Assignment 3.

Assignment 3 revolves around the organization you selected in Assignment 0.
Note that your introduction to the organization will be more important with this assignment as there is a good chance that your marker is not familiar with it.
Use the marking weight of each section as a rough guide to the length of that particular section. For example, if the External Analysis section is worth 15% of the assignment mark, then it should be approximately 15% of the report. In other words, it should be approximately 750 words in length for Assignment 3.
Remember that Assignment 3 is being written for the CEO. Thus, Assignment 3 is not a case study, but a strategic report.
Note that the CEO has asked you to write the report. Do not rely on quotes or copy passages from other sources. You are to provide unique content, analysis, and discussion for each assignment.
Also, remember that as you are writing this report for the CEO of the company, you can assume that the CEO knows and understands all of the course concepts. Do not try to teach the reader or explain any of the course concepts.
You are to write the report from the perspective of today. If you write the report based on a past date, you will receive a mark of ZERO (0%).

Biology

January 13, 2020 4 Comments 12 Times New Roman, Health Care and Life Sciences

1.Why might a biologist be interested in comparing the amino acid sequence of proteins between two different species?  What differences might she find when comparing species that are distantly related or closely related?  Explain.
2.Trans-fatty acids are a type of unsaturated fat.  Most trans-fats consumed today are industrially created as a side effect of partial hydrogenation of plant oils (Crisco).  In trans-fat molecules, the hydrogens on the doubly bonded carbon atoms (characteristic of all unsaturated fats) are straighter, rather than kinked, in shape.  This straightening produces an unnatural molecule.  Why do you think trans-fats are considered unhealthy as compared to other unsaturated fats?  Can you explain your answer chemically?
3.Most adult humans lose the ability to digest dairy products, a condition known as lactose-intolerance because of an inactivity of the lactase enzyme for digestion. However, there is a high degree of lactose tolerant people who are from northern European descent.  How can you explain lactose tolerance from a chemical perspective and why would there be a greater frequency from northern Europe?
4.Epulos, a bacterium growing in the gut of tropical surgeon fish can reach the size of 500 micrometers.  How does this compare to other bacteria and what problems does this present the epulos?  What are some ways that a cell this size could alter its structure to survive?
