Simulation Marketing Action Plan

Advance Live Play, Decision #1 for the PharmaSim Simulation: Again, each period in the simulation represents one year. Too, projections or anticipated outcomes from current strategies are often stated in three- or five-year increments. Based on the extent to which our strategies produced the expected outcome, changes in the macro environment, and changes in our company, we modify our strategies and our projections accordingly for the next planning period. For your own benefit, articulate your assumptions around which you base your strategies for advancing your first live decision. Advance Decision for Period #1. After the current live year is submitted (Year 1) and you have reviewed your results, modify, as you determine necessary, your objectives/expected outcomes for the next three or five years, as outlined in the memo you submitted last week. Remember, your “old” Year 2 becomes your new Year 1, the old Year 3 becomes Year 2, Year 4 becomes Year 3, and so on. Always keep in mind their relationship to your target objectives for Year 9. You should repeat and chronical this thought process with each new decision as you go through the simulation; you will document the process in memo form in specific modules (3 and 5) for multiple periods. Make sure your report briefly explains your premises for decisions used to advance Decision #1 and modifications you intend to make to objectives going forward for subsequent years, as well as the strategies and tactics you are modifying and/or adding to achieve these objectives. You will use the results from these and upcoming reports as the basis for completing your chosen Final Project option. Review the Final Project options for context in how these reports will apply and support that assignment. Your report should meet the following requirements: Be one-and-a-half to two pages long Cite a minimum of two peer-reviewed sources from the CSU-Global Library. Include them at the end of your memo on a Reference page as you would any a formal paper according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing & APA Requirements (Links to an external site.). **Sources must be scholarly** **Sources must be scholarly** **Sources must be scholarly** **Sources must be scholarly**

Analysis of a theme character conflict or dramatic aspect of Fences by August Wilson

/in /by

Description

Many characters in classic tragedy possess a so-called “tragic flaw,” some trait that befalls them in the end. Does

Troy have such a flaw? If so, what is it and how does it get in his way? (If he does not have a tragic flaw, you

can develop the essay to show why not.)

Essay #3 will be a researched analysis of a theme, character, conflict, or dramatic aspect of Fences by August Wilson. Your essay can be rooted in at least one of the approaches below, or these may spur you to take another approach not listed—that’s fine. And you may be able to combine one or more of these—that’s also fine. no matter what approach you take, I recommend you begin with something small: a scene, dialogue, description, or other short passage that interests or intrigues you. Why are you drawn to it? What’s happening here,beyond plot and story? What significance or weight does it seem to have? See if you can first “freewrite” some ideas and get some rough material down; don’t worry about how it sounds at first. Eventually, of course, your main task is to shape your rough writing and initial ideas into an essay with arecognizable introduction, body, and conclusion, and an overall main point which asserts something which can be developed and backed up with specific evidence.

Shared Values

/in /by

Organizational values are the foundation of how an organization begins. Initially, the entrepreneur’s values form the foundations of the organization. They guide the many processes that enable success. Through the growth of the organization, the values, visions, and mission change and grow with the organization. Having a proper set of foundations for all activities within the organization drives people’s behaviors. Unfortunately, many organizations have values and vision statements that are used only for marketing. You’ll take a closer look to see how and if such foundation statements are applied in your organization. Using the same organization, you selected from Week 1 discussion, evaluate the shared values, vision, and mission statements of the organization. Critically assess how these statements were created. Consider: What are the organization’s values as presented in a values statement (or otherwise communicated)? Was the creation of the shared values statement done by a select group of individuals or all individuals? How accurate are the values (i.e., single words representing a value or specific actions that reflected a value?) What is the organization’s vision statement? How was the vision statement created? How inspiring is the vision statement? What is the organization’s mission statement? How does the mission statement clarify the purpose of the organization? How does the mission statement align with the vision statement? With the values statement? If the organization fails to have any of these statements, explore the organizational challenges that resulted in the lack of these foundational elements. The final paragraph (three or four sentences) of your first post should summarize the one or two key points that you are making in your initial response.
