marketing environment

/in /by

Now that you have evaluated the
marketing environment and established some marketing goals for MM, it is time
to get started with the new product plan. The first step is to research the
mobile phone market. Without knowing who is buying phones in certain market
segments, Michelle won’t know how to market MM’s new product. She needs your
help to determine who the market is for the new product.

Primary Task Response: Read the dialogue below. write 750–1,000 words that respond to the
following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. Be substantive and
clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Michelle knows that MM needs to
determine who the target customer is for the new product. She knows that
marketing research needs to be done as part of this market segmentation and
product development processes, but she is not well-acquainted with some of the
details that are involved in the processes. She has stopped by your office to
ask some questions.

“Thanks for canceling your
other meeting this afternoon,” she says.

“No problem,” you say. “I
rescheduled my meeting with multimedia; it actually works out better for them,
too.”

“I’ve heard about quantitative
and qualitative research, but I’m not sure I really understand the difference
between the two,” she begins. “I’m sure there are advantages and disadvantages
to each of them, but without knowing, I’m not sure which type of research we
need to conduct. What do you think?”

Before you can respond,
Michelle’s cell phone vibrates.

“Excuse me, I have to take
this,” she says.

Michelle takes her call and
then stands up.

“Well, I’m sorry to do this,
but I have an emergency that I have to deal with right now,” she says. “Would
you do me a favor? Send me a memo that explains those two types of research and
include brief explanations about the advantages and disadvantages of each. I’d
like to be able to speak intelligibly to this at the next board meeting.”

“Sure,” you respond, thinking
that this will make for a pretty lengthy e-mail. “I’ll also include how each
method can help us define our target market. Will that help?”

“Yes, great idea,” she replies.

“Ok! I’ll get that to you by close of business tomorrow,” you say.

A Macroeconomics Perspective

Deliverable Length: 1,200–2,000 words, including research in essay format

Lester Scholl’s administrative assistant calls you on Monday afternoon to set up a conference call between you and the chairman tomorrow morning to discuss the board’s reaction to your list and to discuss your next task. You call the number she gave you, and Lester joins the call shortly after.

“I’m pleased with your work,” he says. The board was impressed with your list of factors. Your ranking made sense because your explanations were well-written. I suspect they read everything you sent because it was concise and clear. Good job.”

“Thanks,” you say, and you feel relieved that your first assignment was well-received.

“Your list provided the basis for a good conversation about the manufacturing operations,” he says. “We want to know more about the economy of both countries to further inform our decision-making process.”

“That makes sense,” you say. “The United States and South Korea hold many distinct economic factors that may affect AutoEdge’s long-term financial performance.”

“Right,” he says. “Your research on the two economies will give the board enough information so we can advise the new, incoming CEO.”

“What should my research include?” you ask.

“In your research, you must take into consideration several macroeconomic factors,” he says. “We want to see information about the gross domestic product (GDP), unemployment, interest rates, and inflation for both the United States and South Korea. Make sure your research is current; that is, no more than 6 months old.”

“I’ll get started right away,” you say.

“Very good,” he says. “Let me know if you have any questions, and I’ll put you in touch with some of the other members of the board if I can’t provide the answers you need.”

“Great,” you say. “Thank you.”

Please submit your assignment.

Well written respond to the questions (A2)

The work of finance professionals can go a long way toward promoting positive social change. The Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) is a leading organization in promoting this direction in business. PRME has six principles, including “Values.” The “Values” principle states, “We will incorporate into our academic activities and curricula the values of global social responsibility as portrayed in international initiatives such as the United Nations Global Compact” (PRME, n.d.). From this principle, many companies are utilizing “impact investing” to harness “the power of the capital markets to provide financial and social returns” (Ahern, 2015). Corporations can accomplish this by connecting sales to social campaign and nonprofit beneficiaries around the world. For example, Warby Parker’s “Buy a Pair, Give a Pair” campaign partners with VisionSpring to provide access to vision care and eyewear around the world (Warby Parker, 2015).

Review the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) and consider how financial decisions can contribute to promoting positive social change.

In a 3-page paper, address the following:

  • How do finance and accounting play a role in ethics and sustainable positive social change?
  • How might you use accounting or finance to support this role that you described above?
