fundamentals of marketing

October 19, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Business and Management

Part 1

Discuss what a marketing plan is and describe the different components of the marketing plan in your own words (see figure 16.2 in the text). Also explain how the marketing plan is helpful to the organization. You do not have to put together a marketing plan for this assignment

Part 2

Please take the elements/components you have learned in this course (such as the SWOT, goals/objectives, etc.) and translate/apply them into how they would be carried out into the execution of a marketing strategy.

For instance (note that these examples may not be used in your assignment):

In a SWOT analysis you determined that one of the strengths of a company was that weekly team meetings were held where ideas are exchanged and commendations are awarded to team members who have met or exceeded goals or expectations for the week. How can we translate or incorporate that Strength into a marketing strategy?

Since the ideas being exchanged in the weekly meeting are to foster growth and innovation, camaraderie, excitement, and motivation, they can also be used to generate new ideas for promotion. This weekly team meeting can be leveraged to spur perhaps a name of a new product that company X has been trying to launch for considerable amount of time but just haven’t thought of the right one.

A real world example, Lays Potato Chips reached out to the general public using their social media strength to ask them to come up with a new flavor of potato chip. This combined the strengths the company had with the need to execute a new marketing strategy. Through this process, a consumer won $1mm for coming up with a new potato chip flavor, and Lay’s of course won tons of new customers and multiple millions in sales of new product.

INFORMATIVE SPEECH:

Remember you are educating your audience, not persuading them to whatever your opinion on the topic is. Simply provide information. To do that ethically and credibly, you need to have research and references. You also need to have a visual aid. You will be handing in an outline and you should have a list of the references/sources you used. A good rule of thumb to finish this sentence: at the end of my speech, the audience will ____. This can help guide you on what your goal is and what information you will provide and how you will organize it.
PRACTICE YOUR SPEECHES. When you practice, ask yourself these questions:

Does the way your presenting it capture the audiences attention?
Are you providing them with information or persuading them?
Am I providing the information that the audience will need to be able to ____.
Am I just talking to fill the time. Come up with concise ideas, and then speak slowly and clearly, you will fill the time.
Remember look in your textbook about proper outline format.

INTRODUCTION do not get up and say your name and your topic, do not get up and say how you chose your topic/theme. DO NOT DO THIS. The very first thing you will say is as follows:

Capture the audiences attention aka attention grabber. How do you do this? Be creative, some suggestions are: a compelling fact or statistic, a meaningful/powerful quote, an anecdote/story, expert opinion, hypothetical question, startling statement, sound effect etc Remember, your attention getter should relate to your topic/theme
Next state your purpose/THEME – please also have your theme be present throughout your speech.
Next is your thesis or outline of what you will say.
BODY – Typically you will then organize 3 different supporting subtopics to your theme.

CONCLUSION Summarize what you said, relate it back to your attention grabber and theme for full circle experience for the audience. What is the most important thing you can leave your audience with?

please include: 1. attention grabber

2. theme

3. thesis sentence

4. 2/3 body paragraph supports with transitions (hopefully involving your theme)

4. compelling conclusion/recap

5. at least 2 credible references/resources that you are citing in your speech.

Nursing:Neumans Systems Model nursing conceptual framework

October 19, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 7"), Health Care and Life Sciences

Using Neumans Systems Model nursing conceptual framework, conduct a literature search to identify 3 published reports of clinical practice guided by the selected conceptual framework.
You will describe each of the reports in your post. Please be sure to include clinical practice reports, not research reports. For example and to illustrate: Fawcett (2005) includes several chapters on each major nursing conceptual framework in her textbook (I have attached it in a file)
Towards the end of each chapter, note that she identifies a list of published reports of clinical practice guided by the conceptual framework.She also includes a list of published reports of research guided by the conceptual framework. These are two different things. Please include reports of clinical practice, not research, guided by your chosen framework. You are free to select from among Fawcett’s list (which you would then locate via literature search), but I encourage you to challenge yourself to search for at least one more recently published report not listed by Fawcett.
You should include the following:
Identify the nursing conceptual framework you chose to explore in-depth. Why did you choose it?
Select 3 published reports of professional practice situations that were guided by your selected conceptual framework.
For each of the 3 reports, identify the clinical situation and clinical population. Then, describe how the author(s) of the report applied the conceptual framework to the clinical situation/population. Use examples to illustrate.

Describe the differences in accuracy of calculating dosages based on age, weight, or body surface area. How do you know you are selecting the correct formula if you are not told which to use, and what important methods should be put in place to ensure the right formula is used for pediatric patients?

For your citation, you might use articles that show examples of dosage calculations that did and did not consider patient weight or body surface areas. You can also find articles from experts that suggest best practices for calculating dosages.
