Strategic Plan Part 1: New Product or Service

I am needing some assistance and help for my Business Integrated Topics course where I have to write a research paper on the following:

Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper, including an introduction and conclusion, in which you explain the importance of innovation in your selected business’s vision, mission, and values, and determine your business model for this new division. My selected business that I got assigned from my professor has to be on the “Rite Aid Corporation” and here are a couple of links below regarding the company:

“About Us” Retrieved from https://www.riteaid.com/about-us

“Core Values and Mission Statement” Retrieved from https://www.riteaid.com/about-us/mission-statement

Within the essay I have to include the following topics to write about:

  • Propose a new product or service for the new company division. The division should be customer-focused with an innovative mission statement. Ensure that you are differentiating your product or service. (Not sure what kind of new product or service to think up for this type of company since it is more of a pharmacy retail store, any ideas would be helpful since I am having a rough time thinking of a new product or service for this type of retail pharmacy corporation from browsing their web sites online).
  • Describe how the division addresses customer needs and achieves competitive advantage.
  • Create a vision and a business model for this new division that clearly demonstrates your decision on what you want your business to become in the future.
  • Explain how the vision, mission, and value of the new division align with the company’s mission and vision.
  • Summarize how the vision, mission, and values guide the division’s strategic direction.
  • Define your guiding principles and values for your division in the context of culture, social responsibility, and ethics.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines, include citations used within essay and web sites where you cite your sources on the reference page at the end.

Would appreciate if possible in getting a response in one day and thanks!

Religion and Science Questions

In separate documents for each question, typed, double spaced and citied using any and all references to the articles provided.

Answer the 3 following questions by using the articles provided. I do not want you to merely quote from the articles, you must be able to explain what each of the concepts mean, provide examples, and give definitions of terms as needed.

MLA CITED (2 PAGES PER QUESTION WITH WORK CITED PAGE) ** ANSWER EACH QUESTION INDEPENDENTLY ** DO NOT USE THE PREVIOUS ANSWERS FROM THE QUESTIONS ALREADY ANSWERED. (i.e, Questions 1 and 3)

1.‐ What is Darwin’s Theory of Evolution? Please explain in terms of Natural Selection. Is Natural Selection purely random chance, or is there design to be understood at various levels? Please see Barbour Chapter 9 and explain instances of chance and instances of design. Does this allow for some type of Dialogue between religion and science in terms of ultimate truths? What would that be?

2.‐ What is Strict Creationism? Why is Strict Creationism at odds with science? Explain in detail how Strict Creationism creates conflict between religion and science in terms of the scientific method as explained in Barbour Chapter 5. Even though the Scopes trial ends with Scopes being found guilty, what is it about William Jennings Bryant’s testimony that signals the death knell for anti‐evolutionist belief at the level of education?

3.‐ Why does Haught in Chapter 10 argue that we have to understand and take suffering in the world seriously to understand God? As stated, the Dialogue between science and religion leads to a comprehension that in the universe, suffering, creation and destruction, birth and death, are integral to ‘Life’ in general, including the birth and death of entire systems. How would this view lead to an integration of religion and science to understanding the nature of the universe? Explain it in terms of Process Theology. See Barbour Chapter 9.

marketing and sales .

1. Explain why distribution and supply chain management are critical to achieving a sustainable competitive advantage and true differentiation in the marketplace. How are these issues related to other elements of the marketing program in determining competitive advantage?

2. Discuss the four types of consumer products and explain how marketing strategy changes across these product types. Be sure to use examples.

3. Respond to one of the following:

  1. Pricing strategy associated with services is typically more complex than the pricing of tangible goods. As a consumer, what pricing issues do you consider when purchasing services? How difficult is it to compare prices among competing services or to determine the complete price of the service before purchase? What could service providers do to solve these issues?
  2. Price elasticity often varies for the same product based on the situation. What situational factors might affect the price elasticity of these products: (a) sporting event or concert tickets, (b) staple goods such as milk, eggs, or bread, (c) an electric razor, and (d) eye surgery to correct vision?
  3. One of the key themes stressed throughout this text is the challenge of marketing goods and services in mature markets that are plagued by commoditization. In what ways is pricing strategy related to commoditization? How can a firm offer good value in a mature market where price is the only visible means of differentiation? Are most firms too concerned about their costs to really deliver value in other ways? Explain

Executive Orders

The U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 1, states: “The executive Power shall be vested in the President of the United States of America.” Even though the Constitution makes no mention of executive orders, the President’s power to issue executive orders has grown since the days of the Framers. To illustrate, Theodore Roosevelt issued 1,081 executive orders, five times more than any other president before him; but he was overshadowed by Woodrow Wilson (1,808 executive orders) and Franklin D. Roosevelt, who issued an unprecedented 3,522 executive orders (The American Presidency Project, 2014). Actually, there has been a significant drop in the number of executive orders issued by contemporary presidents (Ronald Reagan, 381; George H. W. Bush, 166; Bill Clinton, 364; George W. Bush, 291; and Barack Obama, 168 (through early 2014).

Post your explanation of whether presidential power has increased or declined based on the considerable reduction in the number of executive orders issued by contemporary presidents. Explain why or why not. Support your perspective with evidence from the Readings or other scholarly sources.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Readings

Project – Physical Characteristics of Planets

The planets of the Solar System can be divided into two major
classes, terrestrial and Jovian planets, but each planet has their own
interesting characteristics. With the Stellarium planetarium software,
you can get a close up view of the planets and see their features for
yourself.

In this part of the project, use a computer simulation to examine
the physical characteristics of planets of the Solar System. Please read
through the assignment background information and follow the steps
listed in the lab assignment instructions. You will be asked to form a
hypothesis, state the lab objective, record your measurements and
calculations, and answer each of the lab questions.

Module 03 – Physical Characteristics of Planets

The
planets of the Solar System can be divided into two major classes,
terrestrial and Jovian planets, but each planet has their own
interesting characteristics. With the Stellarium planetarium software,
you can get a close up view of the planets and see their features for
yourself.

Background Question – Describe three characteristics of a planet that you think you could measure from visual observations.

Object:
Explain the purpose of this laboratory assignment in your own words.
What do you think you will accomplish or learn from this exercise?

Hypothesis:
Write a simple hypothesis connected to planetary features that you will
be able to test using the Stellarium software (for example, Jovian
planets have faster rotation period than terrestrial planets)

Procedure:

  • Open
    the Stellarium software. Open the location window (F6) and change the
    planet to the Sun. This will change our observing location to the center
    of our Solar System.
  • Open the Sky and Viewing options window
    (F4). Under the “Sky” tab, uncheck the Atmosphere, Stars, and Dynamic
    eye adaption. Check “Show planet markers” and “Show planet orbits”.
  • Select the Landscape tab and uncheck “Show ground”.
  • Open
    the Search window (F3) and enter in Mercury. The view should shift such
    that the Mercury is in the center of the screen. As long as Mercury is
    actively select, it will remain in your field of view as you advance
    time.
  • In the table below, make note of the visible features of
    Mercury. This can include over color, surface features such as craters
    or ice caps, presence of an atmosphere and cloud structure, and any
    visible moons orbiting the planet. You can also advance time and try to
    observe in the planet has a faster or slow rotation.
  • Repeat your observer with each of the eight planets. You can use the Search window (F3) to shift your view to each planet.
  • We can use the small angle formula to find the physical diameter of a
    planet. Select one planet and record its angular size in arcseconds and
    distance from the observer (Distance displayed in units of millions of
    km). The physical size of an astronomical object is equal to the angular
    size times the object’s distance divided by 206, 265 ( similar formula
    can be found in the textbook on page 29).
  • Continue using Stellarium to test your individual hypothesis. If you need further direction, please ask your instructor.

|Planet|

|Color|

|Atmosphere (yes/no)|

|Surface Features|

|Rotation Speed|

|Any Moons|

Q1 In your opinion, which planet had the most distinct appearance?

Q2: Which group of planets (terrestrial or Jovian) appear to have the most moons?

Q3: Which group of planets (terrestrial or Jovian) appear to have the fastest rotation?

Q4: Did you have any problem observing the rotation of any planet? If so, why do you think this was the case?

Q5:
Compare your calculation with the planet radius information in the
textbook (Chapter 6 or Appendix E). Is your calculated radius close to
the known value?

Conclusion: In 1-2 paragraphs, explain if
your observations and data support or conflict with your hypothesis and
if you have met your assignment objective. Was there any portion of the
assignment that was particularly interesting or difficult?

Prepare a technical report explaining the statute Consumer Product Safety Act that has a direct application to product liability.

The contributions of Ralph Nader should be stated in a historical perspective and the four basic purposes of the act should be clarified; namely:

  • To protect the public from the risk of injuries incurred while using consumer products
  • To help consumers make objective evaluations of the risks associated with using consumer products
  • To encourage uniformity in standards and regulations and to minimize conflicts among regulations at the various levels of government
  • To encourage research into the causes of product-related injuries, health problems, and deaths and how these things can be prevented

Your report can include pictures, figures and tables. It should be between 1600-2400 words and include at least 8 references (at least 4 articles).

This is for a Safety Engineering course within an Industrial Engineering program.

Referencing should be in APA style.

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper in which you define American ethnic literature

While the Harlem Renaissance had created a flowering of African American literature, the decades after World War II saw an explosion of ethnic literature. This literature came from numerous cultures, such as Native American, Asian American, African American, and Hispanic. The authors wrote from their own traditions in response to what they saw as the mainstream of American literature and in response to one another.

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper in which you define American ethnic literature. Include the following:

  • Incorporate works from at least three distinct literary traditions so that your explanation is representative of the larger literary movement.
  • Select at least one major author from each of these traditions.
  • Describe how American ethnic literature is important and what factors influenced it. Answer the following questions in your analysis:
    • How is American ethnic literature influential on politics and education?
    • How does American ethnic literature respond to elements that it explicitly discusses, such as political inclusion and exclusion?
    • How does American ethnic literature respond to factors that are not discussed as explicitly, such as technological change?

Format your paper consistent with appropriate course-level APA guidelines.

Week 3

Note: While representative of possible situations faced by Alikay Naturals, all scenarios in this assignment are fictional.

Real Business

Let’s roll up our sleeves and use what we’ve learned this week in a
real-life business situation. Each week, you’ll encounter a scenario
where you will assume the role of a business person who works with or at
a national discount retail store, like a Walmart or Target. These
companies provide important, everyday staples for millions of people
across the country and have become very successful businesses in the
process.

Discount retail stores have locations in communities across the
country. They often have strong and recognizable brands that are
household names. We will explore how business works throughout this
course by taking on a few of the many different roles at successful
companies like these.

Your Role

This week, you’ll assume the role of a Category Manager for the Beauty Products category at a national discount retail store.

WHAT IS A CATEGORY MANAGER?

Category Managers are responsible for related groups of products (for
example, baseball equipment or laundry detergents) for a retail
business. They use research, information and insights about the category
to change shopper behavior and increase sales of the products in the
category. They also work with the suppliers of the products in their
category to ensure that good products and services are available to
customers.

As a Category Manager, part of your role is to analyze data and
information about how well a product is selling to help the maker of
that product improve the product and consider introducing new products.
Rochelle and her team at Alikay Naturals have asked you, the Beauty
Products Category Manager, to review one of their products and determine
where it lies in the product life cycle. Additionally, they have asked
you to recommend ways to improve the product in order to increase sales.
