***PART TWO****

In this assignment, you will create a revised company description and mission statement based on the feedback you received in the Week 1 discussion. Then, you will conduct a SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat) analysis for the type of beverage you have selected and for your company. As you work on the assignment, consider why you have chosen one type of non-alcoholic beverage over another and the reasons for that choice. As you complete your SWOT analysis, be sure to include external factors such as industry/market trends and competition, and internal factors such as your capabilities or abilities to reach certain market segments.

Write a  paper in which you do the following:

Create your revised Non-Alcoholic beverage (NAB) company name and explain the names significance to you. Describe a NAB that you would produce and sell.
Develop your revised companys mission statement and provide a rationale for its components.
Hints: Use the Statement of Mission template on pages 7273 of the course textbook, Successful Business Plan, to aid your development.
Extract appropriate information from the NAB Company Portfolio, where applicable. You should fill in other required items in the template using your personal preferences.
Describe the trends in the non-alcoholic beverage industry, especially the specific type of beverage category you have chosen.
Hints: Research and outline beverage industry trends. Consider the size and growth rate of the industry overall and the specific beverage type you have chosen. Use the worksheet in the course text (p. 88 | Past and Future Growth of Your Industry) to help you project the future growth rate. Consider the use of industry associations and search engines to find reliable and recent data.
Choose one strategic position from the course text (pp. 142143) that you believe is the best strategic position for your company. Explain the approach you will use to implement this strategic position in order to distinguish your beverage from other non-alcoholic beverages.
Provide an overview of your companys distribution channels. Explain the manner in which your product will reach end users. Provide a rationale for your chosen method.
Hints: For example, will you sell your beverage in grocery stores, restaurants, or sports venues? If so, describe the types of resellers and distributors who will sell to resellers and fulfill their orders. If you are attempting to sell directly to consumers, for example, online via a monthly subscription, how will you manage warehousing/fulfillment/shipping?
Outline at least three types of risks (including any regulatory risks) that your business faces. Describe your companys plan to mitigate such risk.
Hints: You may refer to the types of risk listed in the course text (pp. 148149) as well as any risks not listed in the text. Regulation weighs more heavily on beverage and food businesses than many other types of companies, so be certain to consider any regulatory risks your type of beverage faces. For example, what kind of regulation and/or risks are you likely to face if you make health claims about your beverage?
Develop a SWOT analysis for your NAB company using the SWOT matrix worksheet in the course text (p. 153 | SWOT: Strengths/Weaknesses/Opportunities/Threats).
Hints: What are your companys likely strengths? Have you chosen a beverage segment that is growing and lacks an entrenched competitor? Are you in a niche market that has great potential? What are the strengths that you and other team members bring to your company? Do you or other team members have previous experience in the food and beverage industry?
Hints: What are your companys likely weaknesses? Is the competition in your industry segment entrenched? Is your own management team inexperienced? Will it be challenging to actually produce your product and maintain quality?
Hints: What are your companys opportunities? Does your segment have more demand than supply? Have larger corporations stopped serving smaller or niche markets that you could enter? Is a new market emerging because of demographics, immigration, and changing tastes?
Hints: What are your companys threats? Is there a clear market leader that will be hard and expensive to displace? Are downward-pricing pressures in the segment making profit margins slim? Are there little or no barriers to entry for new competitors? if you have a novel idea that succeeds, can the competition easily enter your market? If you have a global aspect to your company, do factors such as currency fluctuations, political instability, offshoring, or outsourcing pose threats?

In the case study entitled, Social Work Research: Measuring Group Success, a group of eight female sexual abuse and/or incest survivors were participants in a treatment group over the course of 12 weeks (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014). The women were given a pretest and posttest administration of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014) and were exposed to therapeutic treatment over the course of the study. The descriptive statistics that may be used to analyze data are the pretest summed scores of all participants that show symptoms they are experiencing, such as: depression 210, anxiety 138, and stress 190; and the posttest summed scores of: depression 45, anxiety 45, and stress 61. Rather than using each participants score, the sum of each category provides a simplified descriptive context for data analysis (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014; Trochim, 2020). Inferential statistics may be applied by comparing the differences between the pretest and posttest scores, and making an inference as to the relationships.

            In practice, utilizing descriptive statistics can give researchers and social workers an idea of what the data is showing, whereas inferential statistics attempt to go beyond what the data show by making inferences about general conditions (Trochim, 2020). In the above study, a social worker may find the cumulative scores more manageable and they provide a glimpse of what is going on with the participants. By comparing both data sets, it may be inferred that the treatment process may have had a substantial impact on the participants reported symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stressso long as they are not simply the result of sampling error (Yegidis, Weinbach, & Myers, 2018). In understanding these relationships and applying them to future practice as a social worker, the provision of services may be more effective.

The case study evaluated a 12-week psychoeducational support group for survivors of trauma consisting of eight women (five of whom identified as Caucasian and three of whom were Hispanic in origin) who had a history of sexual abuse and/or incest (Plummer, 2014). I would utilize descriptive statistics to describe and measure the data collected from the support group. I would evaluate the range and frequency occurring within the data collected from analyzing every aspect of the survivors participating in the support group. Descriptive statistics allows you to understand the specific set of observations (Frost, 2018). With descriptive statistics, there is no uncertainty because you are describing only the people or items that you actually measure (Frost, 2018).  Youre not trying to infer properties about a larger population (Frost, 2018). This procedure allows us to gain more insights and visualize the data (Frost, 2018). As social workers you encounter various situations, working in the field evaluating findings using descriptive statistics can be very helpful in terms of educating yourself with a concise outline of data collected. This approach is easier to interpret and visualize.

Social Work Research: Measuring Group Success

Case Study

January 23, 2020 2 Comments APA, Psychology and Education

Review the Case Studies from Worden (2009) .  Select one case study and assign 1 2 cultural characteristics to the individuals involved in the case.  For example, you could determine that the first person mentioned in the case study is an immigrant from Latvia, the deceased person was LGBTIC, or that the counselor is African American.  This is a good opportunity to potentially explore cultural characteristics to which you have not had much exposure.
Next, identify the potential ethical and cultural considerations in the case.  Ground your considerations in the ACA Code of Ethics (2014) and in current scholarly literature.  How would these considerations impact the work you would do with the client(s)?
