The Road Not Taken

Robert Frost

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Drafts will be reviewed and returned with comments on September 21

Final Papers are due September 30

In recent years, online music streaming services have arrived and started to take over purchasing hard copies of CDs. In light of this we will look at the way artists are paid via music streaming services and music downloads. As it stands now, the payout for a single music download is $.091 cents per song (with $01.75 cents per minute for songs over 5 minutes). The payout for streaming music varies across countries and streaming services, so for the purposes of this discussion we will focus on the online service SPOTIFY.

Assignments:


Based on your research and discussion activities this week on File Sharing and Artists Royalties and Compensation for Online Music sales, propose a new law covering Global Internet sales (a hypothetical international law) which will help protect artist rights and ability to be compensated for creative works. Your new “law” needs to address these issues: 1. Artists Royalties and Compensation for Music Downloads and Streaming, both for performance and composition, 2. File Sharing law.

Present a short defense of your position on each issue and how the law supports artists rights (or not). Assume you are not bound by existing US or International regulations, but take into consideration the differences in US and European compensation and protection policies as they exist today. This “law” should be well written in a simple, easy to read form (no “legalese” needed) and should be short and to the point. You need to cite any materials you use from your research.

Rubric:

You will be graded on the inclusion of all of these issues in your “law”, as well as on the thoughtfulness of your research informed defense of your position.

  1. How artists royalties are determined for performers (Named artist on recording, other musicians on recordings) and composers and arrangers:
  • Percentage of sales for each (named artist, musicians, composer, arranger)
  • streams
  • downloads
  • 2-File Sharing from:
  • public sites
  • private sharing.
  • 3.Defend your choices, based on your research and discussion of this topic this week, describing how this law is fair to all parties – artists, online Music distributors and/or record companies, as well as consumers. References to existing law or other research should be included.

MRKT 310 Principles of Marketing

Week 6 Writing Assignment

Part 1 – Creating Offerings

Learning Outcomes

  1. Offering. Student can describe an offering based on features, benefits, price, and costs of ownership
  2. Type of consumer offerings. Student can suggest marketing strategy implications based on the type of consumer offering under examination.
  3. Product line extensions or new product development. Student can suggest possible product line extensions or related product or service offerings based on the student’s chosen product or service offering.
  4. Product lifecycle. Student can suggest potential marketing strategies based on the product or service’s lifecycle stage.

Directions

  • Your job in this Writing Assignment is to develop marketing mix strategies to ensure a value offering for the target market you identified in the previous assignment. We begin with the value offering this week.
  • We don’t expect you to develop strategies based on a total knowledge of the product or service since you are not, or most likely not, employed by your product or service’s company. We will be looking to see if you can apply the marketing concepts to the real world situation.
  • Again, do not fall into the trap of reporting on the product or service. This is obvious because your assignment will look like a rewrite of the company’s website. Don’t be afraid to make strategy recommendations based on what you have discovered about the product or service, and how you think it can move forward. Be creative, be reasoned, take risks.
  • Remember your product’s target market(s) from the previous paper. Always keep them in mind when making your recommendations. You now work for the company, and your goal it to help them grow sales.
  • Prepare your assignment beginning with a title page with your name and the name of your product or service. Then answer each of the following eight questions (four in part 1 and four in part 2) in order and number the beginning of your response to each question. You do not need to repeat the question. The paper should contain a minimum of 5+ pages of analysis for the responses to the eight questions.
  1. Offering. Describe your product or service offering as it is currently in terms of features and benefits, price and the total cost of ownership as discussed in the week’s readings. Is it more product dominant or service dominant? What are the tangible and intangible aspects?
  2. Type of consumer offering. Based on the four categories of type of offerings discussed in course content, describe the category in which your product or service offering belongs. Based on your new target market, would that category of the offering change and if so, how? How would it change the marketing strategy?
  3. Product line extensions or new product development. Should the current product or service be modified to more fully meet the needs of your new target market? Would the changes constitute a new product line, a product line extension or a new product? If no product changes are needed, how does the same product or service meet the need of your target market differently than current customers? Would the product line extension or new product allow the offering to occupy uncontested space in the perceptual map for the target market as covered in thr previous paper?
  4. Product lifecycle. In which stage of the product lifecycle is your product or service offering now? Would the changes described in number 3 above change the lifecycle stage and if so how? What would this mean to the lifecycle marketing strategy?

Part 2 – Using Marketing Channels and Price to Create Value for Customers

Learning Outcomes

  1. Marketing Channels. Student can outline a multi-channel distribution system
  2. Marketing channel strategy. Student can recommend a marketing channel strategy for a product or service offering that assures the correct amount of intensity.
  3. Value chain. Student can discuss how each channel in the product or service offering adds value to the customer.
  4. Pricing strategy. Student can analyze a current pricing strategy and make recommendations for modifications.

Directions

  • This part of the assignment assesses your ability to relate marketing mix concepts of distribution and pricing to your product or service offering. You will also have a chance to recommend new distribution and pricing strategies based on your new target market to meet their needs.
  • Answer each of the following four questions, in order, numbering each of your responses. There is no need to repeat the question; however, headings should separate the sections.
  1. Marketing channels. To the best of your ability, outline the marketing channels of your product or service offering as they currently exist. Refer to Figure 6.2 for some ideas. Most product and service offerings will have more than one channel, so your system should include at least two; for example (1) a direct channel for internet sales: manufacturer –> customer; and (2) an indirect channel such as manufacturer –> distributor –> wholesaler –> retailer –> customer. If your product or service only has only a direct channel, explain why. Would this channel strategy change as a result of your new target market? Why or why not?
  2. Marketing channel strategy. Why type of distribution intensity strategy does your product or service currently use? How do you know this? Would this distribution intensity strategy change for your new target market? Why or why not?
  3. Value chain. Referring back to your marketing channel diagram, discuss what each member of the value chain does to bring value to the consumer.
  4. Pricing strategy. Referring to the various pricing strategies outlined in the week’s readings, which one does your product or service currently use? Would you recommend any changes for your new target market? If so, how would you change it and why?

General Submission Requirements

  • Prepare as a word processed document (such as Microsoft Word). Use a simple 12-point font such as Times New Roman. Use black ink for majority of your work and only use colors if it enhances your ability to communicate your thoughts.
      • Your assignment should be the equivalent of approximately five pages of double-spaced text, approximately 1/2 page for each of the eight questions (four in Part 1 and four in Part 2). You may attach exhibits that will not be counted towards the page count of double-spaced text. The cover page and References page are not part of the five+ pages of written analysis.
      • Be sure your name, writing assignment number, and the name of your product or service are on the cover page of your writing assignment.
    • Include a References page.
  • You should use APA style. More information about using a style guide can be found in the UMUC’s virtual library accessible from your LEO classroom under Content, “Learn to Use APA” or at umuc.edu/library.
  • Upload your word processed document in your LEO assignments folder by the due date in the LEO calendar.

Refer to the grading rubric for the assignments. Be sure to note that 20% of your grade on this assignment will be based on your grammar, composition, adherence to the submission requirements, and use of an appropriate college-level style guide for writing and referencing.

Any questions? Please post in the general discussion forum for Week 6. Or, feel free to contact your professor by email.

  • Bicycle Repair Shop
  • Vintage Clothing Store
  • Website Design
  • Digital Moviemaking
  • Recording Studio
  • Wedding/Event Planner

Your paper should be divided into the following sections and address the following factors:

Marketing Environment Analysis:

What factors in the marketing environment impact your business? This discussion should include the following:

Regulatory – What political/legislative/regulatory factors will impact your business? Are there licenses or permits that you need to obtain before starting the business? Are there specific laws or regulations with which you must comply?

Competitive – Who are your competitors? What are their products, strengths, weaknesses, etc.? Is the market growing enough so there are enough customers for all players?

Economic – What economic factors will affect your business? For example, poor economic conditions in your area may mean that your target customer has cut back on spending and won’t be as willing to pay as much for your products or services.

Technological – What impact does technology have on your business? Technological developments may be specific to your business (such as new techniques), or there may be more generalized considerations, such as the development of the Internet as a distribution channel.

Social – What social (or societal) factors influence your business, such as demographic trends within the target area, increasing social mobility, consumer opinions and trends, buying patterns, etc.?

Target Market Analysis:

Next, you will describe your target market in terms of the following:

  • Demographics – Is your market readily definable by characteristics your potential customers share such as age, income level, gender, marital status, income, etc?
  • Geographic – What is the geographic market for your business? Is it local? Regional? Are there areas of the geographic market that you feel would be better served by your business than another area?
  • Psychographic – These variable include such things as your customers’ attitudes, beliefs and emotions. What factors will influence your customers’ purchasing decision?
  • Benefits Sought and Usage Rate – Describe your market’s buying habits. For example, how do they spend their budgets or disposable income? When do they buy? How much? How often?

Your report should be a minimum of 4 pages long, not including a cover page and/or references. You should use 1” margins throughout as well as a 10-12 Times New Roman font or similar font.

The assignment will be graded on the quality and thoroughness of your analysis, how well you address the topics, and the level of analysis demonstrated in linking your findings to concepts covered in this course.

Discussion: Role of Public Administrators in Protecting Civil Liberties

More than many other professionals, public administrators face the daily challenge of balancing personal rights with the needs of society. To perform their functions and duties, public administrators may have to carry out administrative actions that invade privacy interests and violate civil liberties. What would your personal ethical code of conduct dictate in the face of political or organizational policies that threaten personal liberties? What might help you frame your responsibilities in terms of protecting civil liberties while protecting all members of society?

In this Assignment, you analyze the complex administrative responsibilities in ensuring public freedom while protecting civil liberties.

For this Discussion, read one of the articles highlighting the threat to civil liberties in the United States (Greenblatt, Inazu, McKelvey, or Wilke).

By Day 3

Post your reaction to the article you selected. Then, explain how that article frames the responsibilities of public administrators who face ethical dilemmas in the attempt to ensure civil liberties while protecting all members of society. Multicultural and/or international examples are welcome but not required.

What approach do you choose?

/in /by

In a 2,000-word paper, *APA formatting*

  1. Describe your personal approach to counseling
  2. Evaluate one of the scenario below – The scenario on Jane*/attach below
  3. Provide practical application of your counseling approach to the chosen scenario

Scenario:Jane has come to counseling struggling with depression. She constantly feels down, has trouble performing daily tasks, and finds herself with little energy. She claims that she has a relationship with God, but feels like He has left her alone in this struggle. Jane has sought help from other therapists in the past, but feels that the help is only temporary, as she continues to struggle with her depression.

* Lets use a Integration Approach: In this scenario, the practitioner would seek help from both psychology and theology. What does psychological theory (let us use the cognitive behavioral theory for this example) tell us about her thoughts and her actions? What thoughts are consuming her and what behaviors are coming out of those thoughts? How could her thoughts be limiting her in dealing with past issues? Theologically, what thoughts of hers are contrary to Scripture? The Bible speaks at length about the downcast and casting our cares on the Lord. They also speak at length about forgiveness and grace. The integrationist, then, would have a two-pronged approach in dealing with this situation, and like the approach above, would seek to define her condition categorically.An Integration Approach: This approach begins with the belief that there are multiple sources of authority, namely, psychology, theology, and spirituality, though not all are equally authoritative or are all used at any given moment in counseling. Rather, the situation determines which is more appropriate. Greggo and Sisemore (2012) note that all three are used, and all three sources of authority are highly valued.

(Insert into – paper Lecture GCU Week 8:As counselors, you are encouraged to keep yourself focused on your relationship with the Lord. Most of you have already taken the course on spiritual formation for counselors. In that course, the importance of the counselor’s own relationship with God and knowledge of His Word is explored. Your spiritual walk will vastly impact your approach to counseling. When practitioners are intent on knowing the Scriptures and communicating God’s truths, not only will that permeate counseling conversations, it will influence the counselor’s understanding of a given situation. As was stated earlier in this course, the Scriptures do not necessarily preclude the use of secular categories and techniques, but their assumptions are fundamentally different. A counselor who is walking closely with the Lord will be better able to understand and spot those differences.
