Comments Off on SWOT Analysis/Competitive Analysis Spreadsheet Assignment SWOT/Competitive Analysis Assignment
Purpose: This assignment will give you experience examining a business or organization more closely in connection with its marketing and Value Proposition. In addition to a SWOT Analysis, you will learn the fundamentals of conducting a Competitive Analysis. Note: You are invited to create a team of two or three students to collaborate on this assignment.
Skills: This assignment exercises your ability to construct a detailed SWOT Analysis and compile the data necessary to build a valuable Competitive Analysis. In this assignment you will:
Compile research about a local business/organization.
Build a SWOT Analysis that clearly articulates an organizations Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.
Learn how a SWOT Analysis reflects and drives an organizations Value Proposition.
Use the SWOT Analysis to create a unique marketing approach/solution.
Build a Competitive Analysis Spreadsheet that shows how your business/organization compares to other similar enterprises in its market.
Discern those specific areas that your business/organization can emphasize to further make themselves stand out in the marketplace, in order to build market share.
Knowledge: This assignment will give your experience conducting a detailed and thorough SWOT Analysis and what factors go into building a Competitive Analysis, and how these data collection methods help determine a business/organizations marketing mix.
Task: To complete this assignment you will need to:
Part 1 — Identify a locally based business or organization. Ideally, this would be an operation where you have worked or have some familiarity. Please dont use national chains; use smaller, locally based businesses and organizations.
Learn as much as you can about this business/organization, whether through internet research or your own connections (e.g. interviews with people familiar with its operations, or maybe the place where you or family members work).
Using Google Docs, create a blank document for a SWOT Analysis.
Begin with an INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH that describes the business or organization, such as where its located (address?), what it primarily sells or the service it provides, how big is the operation (one location or several?), how long has it been around, is it family owned?
After your introduction, begin your SWOT Analysis, including at least five points in each category (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). In addition, be sure to explain each point with enough details to demonstrate its context and significance. Its best to use a bulleted list here, rather than a paragraph format. (See past Marketing Plans for examples. Please dont do your analysis for one of these same example businesses, or youll have to re-do this assignment!)
After compiling your SWOT analysis, craft an effective and succinct VALUE PROPOSITION for the business/organization that clearly articulates its benefit to customers and potential customers, what makes it unique in the marketplace, and, finally, its competitive advantage. Remember, when it comes to the value proposition, the shorter and more specific the better!
Finally, looking at your list of opportunities, suggest a creative, innovative MARKETING APPROACH that could help the business/organization pursue that opportunity. (Note: Its not enough to suggest buying billboard space or using social media. Please provide a detailed plan with specific recommendations.)
Part 2 —
Complete a Competitive Analysis SPREADSHEET that compares your business/organization to at least FIVE other market competitors in no less than 10 categories (e.g. location, products/services, marketing mix, social media use, hours, pricing, staffing). You want to choose categories that will reveal clear differences between your business/organization and the competition! The more clear differences you can show, the better your grade on this assignment. Get creative!
Upon completion of your spreadsheet, EXPLAIN and HIGHLIGHT where your business/organization has its strongest COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE, and its PLACE in the market (e.g. new entrant, top dog).
Based on this competitive advantage, create a MARKETING SOLUTION/SUGGESTION designed to build on this strength and expand the customer base of the business or organization.
Write an essay between 800 and 1200 words (excluding references), consisting of two tasks:
1. Read the article in Journal of Economic Perspectives, From Efficient Markets Theory to Behavioral Finance, (published in winter 2003 by Robert Shiller). Explain the efficient market hypothesis and the weakness of Efficient Market Hypothesis (approximately 300 to 500 words).
2. In the end of the paper, Shiller states the following:
Indeed, we have to distance ourselves from the presumption that financial markets always work well and that
price changes always reflect genuine information.
Discuss how Shiller reached this conclusion and your view on this statement (approximately 500 to 700 words).
Please answer the following question below. I’ve attached a similar answer to help guide you but I also have the source information attached to answer in full detail. Please let me know if you have any questions.
If you do not understand what is needed for this paper do not apply.
Why is China considered a major player in apparel production? How does artificially devaluing and inflating its currency (the Yuan) help China? Give two examples, one where devaluing the Yuan and one inflating the Yuan has created an advantage for China and has hurt the export/import country. Use a citation from Rosen along with an outside source to defend your answer.

July 16th, 2020 APA (edition "APA 6"), Psychology and Education Comments Off on Psychology in the News Task:
For this assignment, you will compile a portfolio of media objects and reflection papers.
Step 1:
To complete this assignment, you will need to select five recent (within the past six months) media items. These can be magazine articles, newspaper articles, advertisements, commercials, radio broadcasts, or television news stories. For audio or visual items describe the item as closely as possible (e.g., by transcribing the script of a radio ad) or include a link to the item.
Step 2:
For each item, include a brief essayone to two pages, double-spaced typingon the connections between the media item and material from the course text or class. Its essential to focus on the connections between the media item and psychological theories or research evidence.
Step 3:
For each item, search the library database using relevant keywords for your topic for at least one peer-reviewed article to support your ideas. Psychology cuts across many disciplines so feel free to explore journals in other areas such as business, education, health, and criminal justice.

Factoring a trinomial Expression a x squared + b x + c. Step 1. Write all pairs of factors of a x squared. Step 2. Write all pairs of factors of c, the constant. Step 3. Try all combinations of above factors to find the ones that lead to b x squared. Step 4. If no such combination exists, the polynomial is prime. An example is given: 6 x squared + 13 x 5 = 3 x minus 1 times 2 x + 5.Factoring is a skill that is important in simplifying expressions, solving equations, and in many applications. Therefore, it is important that you practice this skill so you can use it when the need arises. One reason it takes some practice is because the method used depends on the precise type of expression you are trying to factor.
Our main focus in this activity and in this module is factoring a trinomial expression of the form ax2 + bx + c and solving the related trinomial equation, ax2 + bx + c = 0. There are two main techniques used to factor these, depending on whether the coefficient a of the leading term ax2 is 1, the simpler case, or if a is some real number other than 1. These techniques are covered on in Section 5.5 of your textbook.
But we are also considering the special case binomials called the difference of squares and the sum and difference of cubes. These special cases have their own factoring strategies, as outlined in your textbook in Section 5.6.
Keep in mind that, for any given trinomial you will encounter in this module, it may or may not be factorable. To prove that ax2 + bx + c is not factorable, for this class it is sufficient to show that the appropriate factoring techniques covered in Sections 5.5-5.6 do not work.
Let’s begin our discussion:
Without looking at any factoring problems in the book, please do the following:
Create 2 polynomial expressions that are factorable. Here are important guidelines:
Your polynomial must be at least of order 2 i.e., have an x2 term or higher)
If you create a quadratic (ax2 + bx + c) you must choose a 1.
If you create a cubic that can be factored using the sum and difference of cubes, you will get 2 extra points.
Remember that factoring is the inverse operation of multiplication of polynomials. This hint should be useful when creating your problems and checking your work.
Create 1 polynomial expression that is not factorable.
You may put the 3 expressions in any order.
To complete the discussion: Thoroughly complete the directions listed above. To gain full credit, you must reply to the posts of at least two classmates. Also, return to your original post throughout the week to read and reply to any posts made there by others. In the two reply posts to your classmates, do one of the following:
Work with the expressions of one of your classmates:
Show your steps when factoring the two factorable expressions posted by a classmate. Check your factorization by multiplying together the factors you obtain and verify that you get back the expression you started with.
Prove that the other expression posted by this classmate is not factorable, i.e., show that the appropriate factoring techniques covered in Sections 5.55.6 do not work for this expression.
Point out an error in someone elses work and provide a correction. In this case, try to include a tip that might help avoid such mistakes.
As one of your replies, you may ask a question about these factoring techniques to help you understand, or pass along a tip to a classmate that might help him/her.
Unless you are pointing out an error, try to choose the expressions that have not already been solved by someone else.
Your initial post is due by Thursday at 11:59 PM. Your responses are due by Sunday at 11:59 PM
