Principles-of-Marketing-Discussion-post

Why can Prada sell a handbag for $2,000 that costs the firm a little more to manufacture than the $200 bag sold at a department store? At the other end of the pricing spectrum, why would a consumer goods company provide a coupon that makes their new snack product all but free? We learned in the text that there are a number of pricing strategies firms can use to achieve their marketing objectives. Do they want to build market share, create a perception of exclusivity, or simply get you to try those new cookies?

Consider the product you are using for your marketing plan. How would you price it to achieve your objectives? Describe the pricing strategy you would use to introduce your product to the market, and why you selected that strategy over other options. Is your choice a long-term or short-term strategy? What advantages or disadvantages do you foresee? Suppose that sales are not meeting your objectives, what change might you make in your pricing?

By the way, that $2000 Prada bag may seem like lot of money for a simple handbag, but it is not even close to top of the pyramid. For that, check out the Tanaka designed bag sold by Hermes for a staggering $1.9 million. Why not order two?

Week 4 Assignment

Application: Grammatical Rules and APA Format

Credibility in the criminal justice field depends on language competence. Learning, and then internalizing, grammatical rules and the appropriate formats and styles to follow when creating a document such as a police report, is a worthwhile challenge. Recurring errors are often the result of not internalizing the rules that govern communication. Identifying grammatical errors and attempting to correct them is one of the most effective ways to eliminate those same errors in the future. With conscientious practice, you might be able to eliminate these errors from your communications.

For this Assignment, take the Grammar and APA Assessment in this week’s Learning Resources. Review correct grammar use and APA formatting to identify challenges you face in applying correct grammatical rules and APA formatting in your writing.

The Assignment (2–3 pages)

  • Describe 3–5 challenges you face in applying proper grammatical rules and APA formatting in your writing
  • Describe strategies you might use to address these challenges and explain why each might be effective
  • Include appropriate resources you may use to address these challenges

By Day 7, submit your Assignment.

Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are to provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the Learning Resources for this course.

discussion 5

As mentioned in a discussion prompt earlier this term, the three pillars of healthcare are cost, quality, and access. This is frequently referred to as the Triple Aim. This week’s readings focus on the cost component of the Triple Aim. Two of the largest contributors to rising healthcare costs are the delivery of duplicative services and services that are delivered inefficiently. An example of the latter would be patients receiving care in an inappropriate venue, such as an emergency room for non-emergent care (care that could be provided in an urgent care facility or a primary care provider’s office). As a healthcare manager, what steps would you take to educate patients on the appropriate venue in which to seek healthcare. Keep in mind that the manner in which this is accomplished may impact your bottom-line (either negatively or positively).
