Strategic Plan – Papa John’s

Organization: Papa John’s

Idea:
We propose that Papa John’s Pizza sells their pizzas as a frozen food product in major grocery store chains. It would be an extension of their current brick-and-mortar operations in which many are franchise operations. Papa John’s experienced a major shake-up in 2018 that caused stock prices to fall and they lost millions of dollars in sales. Their franchisees suffered as a result of the controversary and our plan would put their pizzas in a convenient and assessible location for consumers. Selling their pizzas in grocery store chains would make them more visible and would increase sales and stock prices.

Instructions for Writer:

Write a Background Statement –
This section may provide information about the organization such as history, management structure, and supporting partners or agencies. Alternatively, you could use this section as a brief business statement – more of an elevator pitch – to concisely describe your business.

Write Corporate Goals (At least 3) –
Goals are the specific things for which an organization strives in the accomplishment of its mission. They represent the breaking down of the mission statement into specific items that can be focused on by all the different work teams. They should be quantifiable and measurable. They are the path to reach the mission, and consist of a 3-5 year time frame. Examples of corporate goals are:
    Grow revenue each year.
    Become the lowest cost supplier.
    Reduce costs to consumers
Corporate goals can be used to identify and manage projects which implement the various initiatives

**please ensure that Corporate Goals relate to the idea proposal above.

Any topic (writer’s choice)

(Double Spaced)

See the example below for what I’m looking for in the argument essay assignments.  Remember, you should write on a topic of your own choosing but follow the template and format shown below.

Issue: Whether scholastic athletes afforded ample time to rest and study based on scholarship expectations without using energy enhancing supplements?

Position:  Athletes do not have ample time to rest and study based on practice and scholastic expectations.

Premise 1: Most athletes are required to practice twice daily for a minimum of 2 hours each practice, including weight training.

Premise 2: Athletes must carry a full course load and successfully pass each course in order to qualify for scholarship funding.

Premise 3: In order to maintain grades, a minimum of one hour per class, per day is suggested in order to successfully retain information and pass classes.

Based on scholastic expectations, as well as practice requirements, athletes do not have ample time to rest and study without using energy enhancing supplements in order to assist them with maintaining energy levels to make it through the average day.

Most athletes are required to practice twice daily for a minimum of 2 hours which typically last two hours before classes in the morning and also 2 hour weight training or conditioning for two hours after classes in the evening after the conclusion of classes.  These practices and trainings usually start at 6 a.m. for the morning and 6 p.m. for the evening.  Both of these practices account for at least 6 hours out of each day with travel/prep as well as showering and dressing after the conclusion of practice.

In addition to practice, athletes must carry a full course load and successfully pass each course in order to qualify for scholarship funding.  A minimum of 12 credit hours (equivalent to 4 classes) is typically required to qualify for scholarship, however, to maintain progress towards graduating on time, athletes usually take on 15 credit hours (equivalent to 5 classes).  Based on standards, each credit counts towards an equivalent of required in class hours each week.  This means that the athlete will be in class an average of 3 hours per day.  With travel to and from class, this requires at least a minimum of 4 hours per day.

In order to maintain grades, a minimum of one hour per class, per day is suggested in order to successfully retain information and pass classes.  Experts suggest that in order to successfully retain information and pass classes that students should dedicate at least 1 hour per class per night to studying.  If a student is taking a full course load of 5 classes this requires a total of 5 hours of study per evening.

With a total of 13 hours per day dedicated to practice requirements, classes and studying, this does not account for time spent eating, preparing for class, traveling and resting.  When all of these items are taken into consideration, athletic scholars do not have enough time to make it through the average day without using energy enhancing supplements.

Build a Customer Community Project

Read Chapters 5-7 in Marketing to the Social Web. Assume you are starting a company.  Think of a product or service you will sell.  Write a one page summary of this company and in additional pages thoroughly respond to Steps 1-3. You need to demonstrate an understanding of Ch 5-7, the specific steps mentioned, and how you would specifically implement for your company. Your submission needs to be substantive in nature and a thorough analysis. As always, please ensure spelling, grammar, and sentence structure is reviewed and addressed.

As a new business owner, you are limited in financial resources for your company.  As you have learned in this social marketing class, there are many ways to promote your new company without spending a lot of money.  For this project you will develop a plan to build your own customer community.

Your one page company summary and steps 1-3 are due this week. Below are nuggets from the chapters, but you want to be sure to read and thoroughly apply all the content from the assigned chapters to this assignment.

Step 1: Observe and Create a Customer Map
The goal is to understand the most influential places within the social web and capture what the largest communities are. See what they are talking about and what the talking points are. See what people are saying about your company, the products/services, and your competitors. Part of observe is to research the key influencers using search tools and keywords. You may see what key terms and words are helpful in your category. Observation will help you understand your space and business landscape. With the customer map, you will identify all key customer segments and consumer groups and fully understand their needs, wants, concerns, etc. This is more than just knowing key demographics, but knowing what is called psychographics (attitudinal data, behavioral data, more emotional in nature and somewhat intangible versus static demographic data).

Step 2: Recruit Community Members
This is all about why a customer will engage with you. Remember how Chapter 6 talked about the need for ensuring a sound outreach strategy using the Social Web and how the content must be compelling. Well, you do need a specific plan in attracting and retaining your community. Marketing on the social web is all about generating leads, producing revenues, increasing brand awareness, building loyalty, and starting a meaningful dialogue. Recruiting is about meeting the consumers needs whether they are looking for networking opportunities, entertainment, information, knowledge, or a forum in which they can give feedback/opinions. To recruit you can use traditional media (direct mail, lists, brochures, advertisements, etc.) and of course, digital/social media. The goal is to create a community that people want to engage with and tell others about.

Step 3: Evaluate Online Conduit Strategies
The main questions to address are (1) Who do you want to reach? and (2) What do you want to say to them? The four main strategies are reputation aggregators, blogs, e-communities, and social networks. And search too. You would use all of the above to fully embrace a sound strategy and to maximize your ROI.

The 1-page company summary would want to contain such elements as the company description (a summary of your products/services), mission, focus, potentially a SWOT analysis, your structure, your competitive advantage (how you differentiate yourself), etc. You would then move forward with Steps 1-3.

Read through the assigned deliverables and execute appropriately and thoroughly. Please ensure your submission is thorough, detailed, and addresses the key concepts. The Assignment is to submit a 1-page summary of your company AND in additional pages thoroughly address Steps 1-3 (your submission will be multiple pages in length).

Popular Press Versus Scholarly Sources

Assignment Goals
The purpose of this assignment is to
    Differentiate between popular press sources and scholarly peer-reviewed sources
    Evaluate how evidence and research is used in the area of health promotion
    Utilize critical analytic skills in assessing the validity of the information available to consumers since these articles in the popular press represent the information that your clients will be asking you about. A health care provider needs to be able to critically analyze this type of information for his or her clients and families.

Assignment Directions
PREPARATION
Find an article in the popular press (i.e., a newspaper or magazine article from a publication such as Newsweek, Time, or The New York Times) that discusses current research or a topic in the area of health promotion and disease prevention.
For the purposes of this assignment, the popular press article must discuss or refer to original research, and you must be able to locate the original scientific study discussed. (The research article must be published in a scholarly peer-reviewed journal.)
After reviewing both sources, complete a one-page evaluation that addresses the following points:
1.    Provide a brief summary of the popular press article.
2.    How does the popular press article present the research from the primary source?
3.    Is this popular press article something that you would share with your patients? Why?
4.    Provide any other observations you have about the two articles and how the information is presented in each. (E.g., In your opinion, does the popular press article get it right? Is there misleading information or oversimplifications? How do the two sources differ in terms of language or tone?)

Make sure to include full APA citations for both sources.
