PUT A Speaker NOTES FOR EACH SLIDE

Recommendation:With the above points in mind JM Foods should evaluate each store for interior design improvement.From an overall design standpoint, management should apply the following rules of thumb–focus on a carefully arranged ambience, with a simple design, convenient choice of decor style, colors, illumination and background music. While certain of these improvements may not be cost effective for stores already in place and operational, this outline establishes a standardized criterion which may be applied to future expansion.

For stores currently in operation, there are still things that can be done to enhance their decor.Some design ideas include the following:

  • Typography:Use bold graphics, marquee letters, diagrams and charts to add type to the walls.
  • Artwork:Call an artist or work with someone local to create unique pieces that suit the restaurant.For example, the nearby Goodwill store, only minutes away from the Valrico outlet, can be an excellent bargain treasure trove for this purpose.
  • Instagram worthy customer appeal: Create a polished look with good lighting and beautiful colors that customers can share with friends and send referrals to the business.
  • Go Green:Decorate spaces with lots of plants, flowers and fresh herbs.Plants are not only beautiful and relaxing, but along with the “Mike’s Way” style of food preparation, makes a visual connection about the freshness of your ingredients.
  • Open Up:Take the common JM Foods practice of making the kitchen itself part of the décor to the next level by combining it with the actions above.Inviting customers to get close to the products and scenery gets them talking and increases their tendency to spend.
  • Pick a theme:JM should pick something that is reflective of their menu and brand.
  • Keep it simple:JM should create a simple design that shows off the food without overpowering it.
  • Embrace community:JM should foster a community environment within its stores.This means communal tables and areas where no TVs exist.This is the essence of sharing a meal together and meeting neighbors.

Weakness: Marketing Campaign:JM Foods should use the company’s marketing efforts more effectively by creating a target market strategy.The community-oriented cause marketing strategy is self-evident as it is heavily influenced by charitable giving.It was much more difficult to determine what specific group or groups represented JM Foods most frequently recurring customers.

A review of the literature as well as discussions with managers (both unaffiliated and those affiliated with JM Foods) and the marketing representative led to various inputs related to what constitutes the company’s target market.

  • From SWOT analysis research:Lower-Middle Income youth—This detail was derived from an undated SWOT analysis and not attributed to JM.It tends to contradict any justification for higher prices given the income levels of the group targeted.Furthermore, during store observations, rarely did this target group patronize the stores.
  • From Management:We don’t really have a designated or targeted group.This could reflect inexperience or unfamiliarity with the typical clientele.At the very least, it reveals a weakness in tracking trends or gathering metrics on new and repeat customers.
  • Mission Statement Influence:The community in general is our target—Reflects core values and charitable giving campaigns.
  • Marketing is a strong determinant—A shared resource where ownership may not actively engage.Where a marketing representative existed, it was one individual responsible for seven stores.
  • Largely shaped, influenced or driven by the national marketing campaign.Not all stores in the area are supported by a marketing representative.This approach would obviously be dependent upon national branding for wider exposure, and whatever local marketing approaches each store chooses based upon owner discretion.

As an employee, write an internal memo to your manager addressing the following

Scenario: Kendahl Plastics Corporation contracts with NASA to manufacture component parts used in communications satellites. NASA reimburses Kendahl on the basis of the actual manufacturing costs it incurs, plus a fixed percentage. Prior to being awarded a contract, Kendahl must submit a bid that details the estimated costs associated with each project. An examination of Kendahl’s job cost sheets reveals that actual costs consistently exceed cost estimates quoted during the bidding process. As a consequence, NASA ends up paying considerably more than the bids Kendahl submits.

A Kendahl representative was recently quoted as saying, “We really aren’t overcharging NASA for the work that we do. The actual costs shown on our job cost sheets seem high only because we are forced to understate our bid estimates in order to be awarded contracts. It’s a common practice, and everybody does it. The truth of the matter is companies that quote realistic bid prices are not awarded contracts.”

Let us assume that it is common practice to purposely underestimate bids in order to win NASA contracts:

Initial Post – As an employee, write an internal memo to your manager addressing the following:

  • Is it wrong for Kendahl to take part in this activity as long as it does not overstate the actual costs it incurs?
  • If you were part of Kendahl, would you have personally have issues using this bidding practice?
  • Research and cite common ethical bidding practices. What other bidding practices have your read about that you would be ok with using, even though they may be unethical or push the boundaries of being ethical.

Statistical Inference 1

  • Write a 1–2 page analysis of an approach to gather data and statistically test a hypothetical assertion.Note: The assessments in this course build upon each other, so you are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.

    Context

    After developing a hypothesis, you need to determine what data to collect and how to collect the data to be used in your analysis. Consider the type of analysis you will be performing on the data, the difficulty in obtaining the data, and the degree of confidence required in the data analysis and your conclusions. For example, will you be performing a random probability sampling for making statistical inferences about the sampled population or a non-probability sampling based on convenience, voluntary, or judgment sampling?

Operations Scheduling

Forecasting and Contracts

Both the operations manager and the warehouse manager have been impressed with your argument in making a case of supply chain management and quality management within the company. The operations manager in your department wants you to conduct a formal presentation to him and the rest of the floor staff to highlight the benefits of supply chain management. He has over 30 years of operational management experience with the company, and he is skeptical of any change. He has never used any type of supply chain management techniques or tools, but found your discussion on supply chain interesting. He would also like you to provide a recommendation on how to improve the current forecasting process and management of contracts for your company. This is your opportunity to really pitch the advantages of implementing supply chain management and for improving the current forecasting and contractual processes within your company.

Develop a compelling presentation to the operations manager that will explore the benefits of implementing supply chain management on his floor. Be sure to include what you learned from the game module.

BUSN 491 week 8 response 1

I must respond to what is below in 250-300 words in APA format.

An economy is the wealth and resources of a country or region, including its financial structure (Mariotti, & Glackin, 2016, p. 4). In America our economy is of an abundance where entrepreneurs of new and old are able to obtain financing for their business start-up or just to further fund the growth of there existing business. As an example, for new entrepreneurs there is bootstrapping, bank loans, angel investors, incubator, and kickstart. For the entrepreneur that has been in business and just need that extra boost in capital, there are account receivable (A/R), venture capital, and more.

As an entrepreneur, starting up a business overseas limits my access to financing methods available in America. I could proceed in an unethical means however, wealth gained by vanity will be dismissed, but he who gathers by labor will increase (Pro. 13:11, KJV) and this is not the route I would take.

After much consideration and analysis of the various methods to secure initial capital in starting up my new business venture, bootstrapping is the best option. Opening up a bed & breakfast overseas is very high risk and will not attract venture capitalist, angel investors, SBA loans, nor the traditional bank loan. I cannot incubate else it may not get off the ground. I could probably kickstart the start-up however if the target value is not met, I will be back looking for capital. Which then leaves me to account receivables and since the revenue are still to be determined, no A/R financier would take the risk.

Bootstrapping is my best option. The beauty of bootstrapping gives me full control of how I choose to run the business and should business fail, I also fail. According to Wallbank, P., the benefits of bootstrapping forces management to focus on the product and customers while giving founders full control of the business (2012). The drawback is as mentioned, if the business fails, I fail and loose all that I invested but then again, since the bed & breakfast will be overseas, I just might turn it into a vacation home.

Case Study Paper

You will review a case study provided later in class. You will be responsible
for reviewing the case, assigning a diagnoses and creating a treatment plan. You will also be
responsible for providing a rationale for the diagnoses, as well as a discussion of rule outs,
differential diagnoses. Differential diagnosis refers to all of the diagnostic categories that you
seriously considered during the diagnostic process. Because the symptoms present in the
case study suggest the possibility of several disorders, a thorough discussion of disorders
that you excluded is warranted. In other words, you should discuss why you assigned the
diagnoses that you did and why you ruled out others.

This process will require the student to:

  1. Read the case study given by the professor based on a fictional patient describing the
    medical history
  2. Assess symptoms
  3. Assess other potential problematic areas of the person’s life, such as social, spiritual,
    emotional, cognitive, work/education level, physical
  4. Identify diagnostic criteria based on DSM
  5. Identify stressors
  6. Give recommendations for treatment
  7. Assess prognosis
  8. Summarize results in a written statement

Format Outline: Written statement, 5-7 typed pages, double-spaced, no larger than 12-point,
Times New Roman font. Make sure you follow the directions carefully and fulfill all of the
above mentioned requirements. Don’t forget to be creative and have funJ

All analyses must be typed in your own original writing. If you pass off others’ work as
your own, it constitutes academic dishonesty and will result in disciplinary action.
