  • MKTG 6000 Minicase Initial Exercise: Company Selection and Application of Business Objective 5-12

    $7.50

    1. List all team members:

    2. List your choices for the organization/firm for your minicase?

    • Only one firm per industry will be allowed. Cases with an international component are encouraged.
    • What is your relationship with this organization/firm?
    • What is the reason for selecting this organization/firm?
    • What challenges facing this organization/firm make it an interesting case study?

    3. Fundamental Entity for Analysis:
    4. State the goal of Fundamental Entity:
    5. Core Competence, Strategic Asset(s), and Customer Benefits

    • Use the table below to write your core competencies. Review text pages 16-20.
    • Typically it is easiest to begin with the strategic assets. List the current or desired strategic assets of the firm. Consider these broadly enough so that you include tangibles (e.g., systems, processes, employees, etc.) as well as intangibles (reputation). Keep in mind the fundamental definition of an asset: something that can be deployed to bring revenues and profits into the firm.
    • Then, to the right of each strategic asset, list the customer benefits that result from it. Consider benefits the
      firm is currently delivering well as benefits that it could deliver.
    • Now to the more difficult part. To the left, list the core competences that yield the strategic assets. Review the discussion of a core competence as a skill on text pp. 16-17. If the concept of core competence is not clear to you, review Prahalad, C. K., and Gary Hamel. 1990. “The Core Competence of the Corporation.” Harvard Business Review 68, no. 3: 79-91. http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=buh&AN=9006181434&site=ehost-live
      Keep in mind that the core competence is a skill that uniquely distinguishes one firm from another. For a
      young company, look for the core competence to rest in the primary skill set of the founder. More established companies look for a core competence that defines the business. For example, 3M has a culture of innovation that leads to a host of strategic assets. When used effectively, core competence drives and directs the decision-making of the fundamental entity.

  • Hcs 320 Communication and Crisis Paper

    $12.50

    Read the following scenario:

    In 1979, the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor malfunctioned, releasing radiation into the environment. There were no immediate deaths or injuries resulting from the incident; however, the accident drew much media attention and created concerns in the local area and beyond. The major forms of communication used to report these events were the three major television networks and local radio stations.

    In 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated the New Orleans area and immersed a significant part of the city in water. Local citizens and their families were affected. In contrast to the Three Mile Island incident, newer communication technologies, such as the Internet, were used to disseminate information.

    Today, you are the director of a regional Emergency Management Office. You begin receiving official reports that the public water supplies of several towns in the area have become contaminated with a life-threatening biological agent. Contingency plans must be addressed within the organization and with the public without creating a panic.

    Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper on essential communication in a community crisis situation described in the scenario.

    Include the following in your paper:

    • The individuals or groups that will be communicating inside and outside the organization during this crisis situation
    • Potential advantages and challenges associated with communicating within the organization and with the public and private sectors during this crisis situation
    • Differences in communication processes used in crisis situations, including what you learned from the situations in the scenario and how you might incorporate that knowledge to improve health care communication strategies
    • Appropriate technology, such as social media, affecting communication during the crisis situation and how these technologies may be used to enhance communication
    • How technology might be used differently now than it was during the crisis situations described in the scenario
    • Media opportunities during this management crisis

    Cite a minimum of three sources, one from the University Library and another from the course textbooks or Electronic Reserve Readings, to support your position.

    Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
