Integrates Marketing Plan

Your hotel has decided to outsource space to a restaurant brand. The restaurant brand [of your choosing] should have a bistro feel, suit business travels, and local professionals for lunch and after hours. It should also welcome leisure travelers, and to a lesser extent, families.

  • To make the target markets aware of the new restaurant.
  • Build a database for each market to communicate with them.
  • To increase revenue and profit.

Note: It is a marketing plan, not a promotional plan. While you are using promotional tools you should also discuss product, price, and place (distribution), and how each is used to attract a specific market.

When you submit a forum posting, be sure to use the “CAPCON SYSTEM,” described below

Your forum grades depend on how well you learn and show you’ve learned CONCEPTS introduced in your textbook. To do this you must use the CAPCON system for all assignments. Whenever you are applying a TEXTBOOK CONCEPT, type it in ALL CAPS. Also, whenever you apply a TEXTBOOK CONCEPT, don’t just “name drop” it. That is, don’t just state the concept. You have to explain what the concept is and how it applies. Be sure to note the video you are discussing.

BAD EXAMPLE

I saw the video on an astrologer reading someone’s personality. It was so fake I could tell he was making it up!

BETTER EXAMPLE

VIDEO VIEWED: This is a review of Jon Smith’s video on Astrology. Mr. Smith, the astrologer, claimed to use his client’s horoscope to predict that “something good will happen in the future” and that the client “recently had an accident.” In term of the textbook, the astrologer’s reading use using two tricks: VAGUE READINGS that can be interpreted in any way, and UNIVERSAL FACTS that apply to nearly everyone (nearly everyone has had a recent accident, even a small one.”


QUESTION:










Everyone experiences coincidences. Some are big, other small. Can you think of a coinciden e (or simply an oddity) you have experienced? If not, ask a friend or relative.

In your posting:

  • Describe the coincidence (or oddity)
  • Present a paranormal explanation.
  • Describe how an open-minded skeptic might interpret the coincidence.

BAD EXAMPLE

Here’s my coincidence. This week I was wondering how great my life would be if I won the lottery. I buy a ticket every week. When I purchased my ticket this week I won $1,000! This felt really strange and wonderful. I think I may have some ability to see into the future. My alternative explanation is that maybe I have some power to affect lottery numbers.

BETTER EXAMPLE

Here’s my coincidence. Here’s my coincidence. This week I was wondering how great my life would be if I won the lottery. I buy a ticket every week. When I purchased my ticket this week I won $1,000! This felt really strange and wonderful.

PARANORMAL INTERPRETATION: I can see into the future and predict what is going to happen.

OPEN MINDED CRITICAL THINKER INTERPRETATION. I’ve been buying lottery tickets every week for decades. Of course, I have fantasies about how great it would be to win when I buy a ticket. By chance alone I eventually win. Since I always have winning fantasies before buying, I had such a fantasy before buying this ticket. Nothing paranormal going on.

EXTRA CREDIT (5 points). Select a coincidence shared by a classmate. Without getting judgmental, suggest how an open-minded skeptic might explain the coincidence. You don’t have to agree with what the skeptic might say. Simply try to imagine what they might say.

COINICIDENCES

COLLAPSE

COINICIDENCE: My coincidence isn’t one of my own, but of a co-worker. About a month ago she came into work and told me she had the strangest dream about running into her ex-boyfriend. Later that weekend, she went out to the bar with a few of her friends. She ran into her ex-boyfriend at the bar who she hasn’t seen since they broke up over half a year ago.

PARANORMAL INTERPRETATION: My coworker has prophetic dreams. She can see into the future through her dreams. My coworker has psychic powers. She can foretell and predict for the future.

OPEN MINDED CRITICAL THINKER INTERPRETATION: Her and her ex-boyfriend have similar tastes in bars, so it was only a matter of time before they both showed up at the same bar. Also, most people have about 250 dreams a night, while we don’t remember them all, by chance alone we are bound to coincidentally precede some remarkable event. The text states for every one dream that comes true, there are billions that do not.

Coincidence

COLLAPSE

HERE’S MY COINCIDENCE: For as long as I can remember, people (even strangers) have come up to talk to me and tell me their deepest secrets, and problems and ask me for my opinion and advice. This weekend, when my friends and I went out for St. Patrick’s Day, several people that I just met, told me a bunch of private, sensitive information about themselves and wanted my advice. It almost felt like I was still at work, like they knew I was training to be a therapist. It was uncanny.

PARANORMAL INTERPRETATION: I give off an energy that attracts those in need.

OPEN MINDED CRITICAL THINKER INTERPRETATION: I do tend to smile at people and ask how they are doing. I think I likely appear friendly and approachable. I’d imagine I was probably guilty of CONFIRMATION BIAS, and merely looking for situations that proved my theory. It is more likely that since we were in a crowded bar and many of the people were drinking all day, they were “over-sharing” with everyone this weekend. It is also possible that I was being more sociable with those around me and offered my advice and/or opinion even if I was never asked for it.

Change Through Persuasion – Critique, merit recognition

/in /by

3-4 pages with 1.5 space, around 1500 words.

First what is a “critique”? Critique is a method of disciplined, systematic analysis of a written (or oral) form of article. Although critique is commonly understood as fault finding and negative judgment, it can also involve merit recognition. Identify, at least 5 “take aways” of information from the article. Identify how the author was effective (or not effective) in the strategy used in connecting the “take aways” with change.

In the article (written by David A Garvin and Michael A Roberto), the authors make a very significant and powerful statement about change through persuasion. “To create a receptive environment, persuasion is the ultimate tool. Persuasion promotes understanding, understanding breeds acceptance, acceptance leads to action. Without persuasion, even the best of turnaround plans will fail to take root.”

Read the article which appears in HBR’s On Change Management (page 17). Give a brief description of the four-part communication strategy. Then provide some backup detail for each part. Close your review by making a clear connection with the above quote. (Pages: 3-4, (1.5 space), including the title page and the citations.
