I am currently in a “graduate master’s level” marketing course and since marketing is not really an area that I excel in, would greatly appreciate the following help for a Word Document research assignment based on a “New or Refresh Product Launch Plan,” to which I had an idea of using “Coca-Cola soda beverage and pertaining to their competitor’s for research, using Pepsi soda beverage. Would appreciate help on how Coca-Cola could maybe become a rather new soda flavor beverage or somehow think of “refreshing” this beverage product compared to their competitor of Pepsi since we have to compare their competitor both within a U.S. and International market stage. Below for research I downloaded for both companies, data material, mostly financial, that compares between Coca-Cola and Pepsi Company. Here are the following requirements for this assignment for grading:

Purpose of Assignment

Understanding the various phases of a product or service lifecycle is critical when addressing a market. If your product is in decline and the competitor’s product is in growth, your strategy for the product or service will be different. This exercise will enable students to demonstrate an understanding of both their product/service life cycle stage and a competitor’s product. It is designed to help students explore product mix strategies in the various phases of a product or service life cycle. This tool is critical when addressing a market penetration, market saturation or product/service decline.

Assignment Steps

Resource: Plunkett Research Online located in the University Library.

Have attachments of data information for each company attached below for Coca-Cola Company and Pepsi Company that has data of “Company Profile,” & “Company Financials” downloaded from that Plunkett Research Online.

Design a minimum 1,050-word or more (excluding cover, reference and graphs or chart wording) of a New or Product Refresh Product Launch Plan (would like to use Coca-Cola and Pepsi soda beverages) in Microsoft^®Word.

The product launch plan will be for two markets: U.S. and one international market. Domestic market generally means the market where the company headquarters are located. If you choose a domestic market that is not the U.S. than your other market is required to be the U.S. Compare your product/service to at least one other competitor. The competitor does not need to be in both markets, you can have two different competitors, one for each market.

Side Note: No Plagiarism and will be checked per instructor request!

Include the following:

• Introduction

• A graph or chart (mentioned above, include description for each graph or chart for the SWOT and TOWS-proper APA cite).

Include the following:

Lori received a credit card in the mail from a company that had taken her name and address from a white pages directory without her knowledge. Upset about the unauthorized use of her name, Lori planned to contact the company to lodge a complaint. Before she could do that, her roommate stole the card and charged thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise to it without Lori’s knowledge.

The card issuer claimed that Lori was fully responsible for the purchases, while Lori claimed that she should have no liability whatsoever for the purchases.

Research government agencies that provide consumer credit protection or that regulate credit card companies, using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Based on the facts of the case and research, respond to the following questions:

• If the card issuer sues Lori, who might the court rule in favor of and why?
• Does the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) offer any protection to Lori?
• What ethical issues are raised by the card issuer’s conduct?
• What can you do to protect yourself from something like this happening to you?

The Application of Data to Problem-Solving

In the modern era, there are few professions that do not to some extent rely on data. Stockbrokers rely on market data to advise clients on financial matters. Meteorologists rely on weather data to forecast weather conditions, while realtors rely on data to advise on the purchase and sale of property. In these and other cases, data not only helps solve problems, but adds to the practitioner’s and the discipline’s body of knowledge.

Of course, the nursing profession also relies heavily on data. The field of nursing informatics aims to make sure nurses have access to the appropriate date to solve healthcare problems, make decisions in the interest of patients, and add to knowledge.

In this Discussion, you will consider a scenario that would benefit from access to data and how such access could facilitate both problem-solving and knowledge formation.

To Prepare:

• Reflect on the concepts of informatics and knowledge work as presented in the Resources.
• Consider a hypothetical scenario based on your own healthcare practice or organization that would require or benefit from the access/collection and application of data. Your scenario may involve a patient, staff, or management problem or gap.

By Day 3 of Week 1

Post a description of the focus of your scenario. Describe the data that could be used and how the data might be collected and accessed. What knowledge might be derived from that data? How would a nurse leader use clinical reasoning and judgment in the formation of knowledge from this experience?

By Day 6 of Week 1

Respond to at least two of your colleagues* on two different days, asking questions to help clarify the scenario and application of data, or offering additional/alternative ideas for the application of nursing informatics principles.
