Students will respond to a specific scenario that requires them to address the concepts both critically and creatively to solve the scenario’s dilemma.

Assignment Steps

Resources: Marketing: Ch. 2: pg. 40-46, 54-69; Ch. 3: pg. 72-92; Ch. 8: pg. 207-227; Ch. 9: pg. 242-257; Week 2 video

Scenario: You are the Marketing Manager for a local nonprofit charity whose funding is based on donor membership fees. You’ve noticed a severe drop in new and repeat memberships that are threatening your organization’s ability to survive and grow. You have decided to implement the Five-Step Marketing Research Process to help understand the problem and create solution strategies to implement.

Create a 10- to 20-slide (not counting the cover slide and reference slide) Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with speaker’s notes on the Five-Step Marketing Research Approach detailing how you will use each step to solve the donor membership issue the local nonprofit charity is facing.

Address the following as Marketing Manager:

  2. Provide one slide for each step of the Five Step Marketing Research Approach that provides detail including its goa and its usefulness in addressing the non-profit donor membership issues described in the scenario.
  3. Define Primary and Secondary Research data and their pros and cons. Discuss where each might be useful in solving the scenario.
  4. Discuss the Five-Step Process in comparison with two alternative types of Marketing Research and when each might make sense to use.
  5. Define what it means to ‘differentiate’ a service and discuss how the local nonprofit charity in the scenario might use the strategy to encourage prospective donor members to support them rather than competitive organizations

Security planning essay 2 pg

/in /by

After 9/11, several federal agencies were tasked with homeland security. State and local law

enforcement have a leading role in homeland security because of its presence in communities, and its

ability to gather information. State and local law enforcement also have a special role in terms of

recognizing possible terrorist activity, and coordinating preventative measures from multiple community

partnerships. Planning is a crucial part of the process. While the infrastructure is critical, symbolic

targets also have a special significance. Finally, all partners responsible for homeland security must

create a culture of information sharing.

  • What could the government do to ensure cooperation between agencies at both the federal and local

    • levels?

  • What progress has been made or needs to occur to add to the communication coming from our

    • agencies to the citizens so that both an understanding of what the government is doing exists and so

    that communities have buy in resulting in cooperation and participation in fighting potential terrorist

    activities within and outside our nation?

    There are a lot of reasons as to why the 13 British colonies in North America will declare their independence from the British Empire in 1776. There was a growing tension between the British Parliament, King George III, and the colonial governments over issues such as taxation, regulation, power, control, etc. Additionally, there were larger philosophical and theological (i.e. Enlightenment and the Great Awakening) challenges to concepts such as citizenship and the relationship between a citizen and their government. The two readings for this Unit, “Massachusetts Slaves Petition their Freedom” and “Thomas Jefferson’s Rights of British Americans,” delve into these changes, and an individuals/citizens rights. Discuss in detail what the Massachusetts Slaves and Thomas Jefferson is asking? How are these demands similar when you consider the definition of citizenship. What elements of the Enlightenment or the Great Awakening come out in these readings?
