  • Discussion

    1. First, watch the required videos, review power points, and complete the assigned readings for the week.
    2. Reflect on how we now know that race is a social construct meaning that while we may have differences in appearance and heritage, human beings are genetically the same species. Historically, however, for many centuries people used the idea of biological racial difference rooted in scientific racism to justify laws, policies, economic structures (like slavery), and different treatment of individuals based on their racial identity.
    3. In a 400-word minimum post, describe how ideas of race, racial differences, and the history of scientific racism impacted how the United States and European countries viewed independent nations in Latin America, like Panama and Haiti. Also, please address how the notion of “Western Civilization” continued to perpetuate these ideas?

  • Organization Analysis

    PROJECT DESCRIPTION

    You are charged with creating a strategic marketing plan for Fabletics. Your first tasks will be to do some research

    (A) to understand the strengths and weaknesses of your company/department, (B) to

    understand the competitive landscape, and (C) to more narrowly define your target market

    so that you can create a marketing plan to meet the needs of those consumers. You are also

    encouraged to consider upcoming and current sport trends for this assignment.

    SECTION 1: BRAND OVERVIEW

    This brief section (up to 500 words in length) should provide an overview of the brand,

    including history/background of the brand, relevant product category(ies), vision/mission

    statement. (Note: utilize brand website as primary-but not only-source)

    SECTION 2: SWOT ANALYSIS

    In order to determine your marketing objectives, strategies, and tactics, you must first do a

    detailed SWOT analysis. To populate your SWOT, you must do some research. Be sure to

    look through a variety of sources such as SportsBusiness Journal, academic research through

    the library, library databases (SportDiscus, etc.), secondary data sources (census data,

    published reports on companies and industries, etc.), financial data, public records, reputable

    news sources, etc… You may also consider collecting your own data, such as conducting

    interviews or focus groups or observing social media conversations or organizational websites

    for information about product offerings and reviews. Focus on information that will

    ultimately inform your overall marketing plan. Again, be specific and make your statements

    based on research and not on assumptions.

    Focus on information that will ultimately inform your marketing plan. For example, if

    you are creating a new Nike product, you dont need to cover everything about Nikes history.

    You should focus on your particular product category and the strengths and weaknesses of

    Nike that will impact your ability to sell your product. Be specific and make your statements

    based on research and not on assumptions.

    SECTION 3: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

    After presenting sufficient information for the reader to understand the organization under

    question as well as the situational landscape in which they exist, it is time to identify the

    product

    you will be focusing on for your marketing plan. You will create a new product (good or

    service). Based on your understanding of the existing landscape, you might have noticed an

    area that needs to be filled. For example, perhaps your company does not offer X product

    or service, while your competitors do. In this case, you may want to develop a new product /

    service for your company. Here you must describe the basic concept of your product /

    service and what hole it is filling (i.e., why it must be invented, offered, and marketed by

    your organization).

    SECTION 4: TARGET MARKETS

    For this part of the assignment, you are to identify at least two (2) different market segments

    who are likely to buy or use the product/service that you have created. You want to be

    specific about what defines each group of users without limiting the number of people in each

    segment.

    Remember that traditional marketing strategies segment consumers based on simple

    demographic profiles (location, age, gender, etc…); however, new marketing is different. It

    is critical that you consider attitudinal and behavioral characteristics as well in your

    segmentation strategy. Finally, remember that some of your target segments may be

    businesses instead of individual consumers. Please give each market segment a creative

    and descriptive name.

    The correctness of your answer is determined largely by your ability to find credible

    information to support your ideas. Do not make any assumptions about people, their

    attitudes, or their behaviors. Define your market segments based on data (see the example

    below). If you have any questions about what sources are credible, please let me know.

    Bad example:

    We have an opportunity to market to young kids because most kids like shoes.

    Good example:

    According to census data, our target market has a large percentage of families with

    children living at home (Denver Community Planning and Development, 2006).

    Further, our market is also highly active (56% engage in outdoor activities such as

    tennis, hiking, running, and basketball). Therefore, we have an opportunity to expand

    our market to include these highly active families, both children and adults.

    SECTION 5: PERSONA DESCRIPTIONS

    Consistent with the corporate structure presented in the Rethinking Marketing reading (see

    Assignment Instructions on Canvas), your role will be of Customer Segment Manager

    where youll be asked to develop the marketing plan for one specific market segment. In

    this section write a brief biography for one (1) potential consumer in EACH of your

    selected market segments 2 personas total. You may find it useful to do additional

    research as well. Each biography should be about 250 words.

    Example: Ashley, 34, wakes up early to go running since she knows she wont have time

    later. A former high school tennis player, Ashley is now of mother of two who lives in a

    small suburban community just outside the city of Denver. She enjoys hiking with her

    family and prides herself on keeping fit. This core value carries over into her parenting style

    as she pushes her children to participate in as many extracurricular activities as possible.

    While she works hard to maintain her active lifestyle, time and budget restrictions limit her

    ability to be as active as she would like. This year, her fitness goals are less about actual

    fitness and more about participating in as many activities as possible with her husband and

    kids. She hopes that by eating right and staying active, she will maintain her current fitness

    level even if she isnt able to improve it. (150 words)

    ** Other information that would be relevant in this example include, but are not restricted to,

    the kind of job she has, other parts of her past, her perception of fashion, her favorite

    products/brands, political affiliation, her social networks, etc…

    SECTION 6: MARKETING OBJECTIVES

    The purpose of the above situational analysis is to provide direction on how to capitalize on

    your opportunities and identify/minimize your threats. For this part of the assignment,

    connect specific pieces of information from your analysis and develop three

    S.M.A.R.T. objectives. Consider as marketers, you should be concerned with other

    aspects of your companys performance such as generating awareness for your product or

    creating/enhancing your brand image. Use these guidelines for creation of the three objectives:

    One of these objectives should be tied to sales or other financial outcomes (i.e.,

    involving Product and/or Price elements).

    One of your objectives should lead to a strategy of creating an ad/marketing

    campaign (Promotion element).

    One should utilize one (or a combination) of marketing mix elements not employed in the

    other two objectives.

  • Social Program Development Project (SPDP)

    This is a semester long project but this assignment is just the first part “Population and problem”

    The professor strongly encourages using the US census data, “https://www.census.gov/en.html” The population I chose is Veterans in the state of Arkansas and the problem is substance use disorders. If you have any questions please let me know.

  • Social Science Question

    Person-focused pay programs are not really new. Various early forms of these programs appeared in the 1980s. Organizational adoption was slow partly because they can very quickly drive labor costs up. Why is this changing? Explain the reasons for this change. Consider Susan Jacksons situation. Susan is a young professional in her 8th year of her technological manufacturing career since graduating from college. She is frustrated by the lack of opportunity to showcase her talent and skillset. Susan feels like she has so much more to offer than is asked of her. Consequently, she is once again on the job market. If she succeeds in her search, Susan will join her third organization in 8 years. Explain why a job with a person-focused pay program might help alleviate her frustration. Finally, what are the potential advantages and disadvantages of these programs for the organization? For the employee?

    So often we want answers right now, but God works according to His perfect timing. This video reminds us that delays are not denials God is in control, and His timing is always better than ours. As you watch, think about the areas in your life where youre struggling to wait on Him

    After watching ” Trust God’s Timing- on Above Inspiration Series” please answer the following questions: ( You may use God or your Spiritual view) I will be the only one to see your responses. Please type or copy and paste your answers or attach a file it ok.

    1. Whats one area of your life where youre waiting on Gods timing? (school, career, health, relationships, finances)

    2. How does waiting make you feel frustrated, anxious, hopeful, or all of the above?

    3. Where in your life are you trying to force your own timing instead of trusting God?

    4. What would it look like to release control in that area?
