It was supposed to be questions 3-6. Is there an extra one I'm not seeing? Thanks! Andrea,I have one other question...I see on question six that was answered, that I am missing 4.4 on question 6. 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 are answered, but not 4.4. It is asking about a subsidy of 7,000, but nothing is there.,I apologize. I saw that you had sent me two different files, but when I went to open one of them, it went straight to the excel sheet. I thought I had received two of the same file. Thank you soooo much!!!! This is my last class, and I will have my bachelor's degree. This is supposed to be a marketing class. We have never been asked a math problem. For some reason, I open this exam and see these. I was so lost. Thanks for the help!,Quick question...will the document you sent me be available to the public? The reason I ask is because I have to use turnitin for me assignment. A little scared of plagiarism. I have never needed a site like this before.
Question 2
Marketing Plan You work in a company that offers management training. Your market research effort indicates that in your community (you live in New York City), there is hot demand for courses on project management. A number of competitors are offering such courses, and all appear to be doing well. Your market research effort entailed reviewing the course offerings of competitors, interviewing the training directors at fifteen companies, and conducting a survey of students who have taken at least one of your courses during the past two years. Based on this market research effort, you decide to develop a suite of four courses, each of which lasts two days. They are: ? Project management fundamentals ? Project planning and control ? Project finance and budgeting ? Project risk and quality management We have just discussed the product above. Now, put together a very short marketing plan that addresses pricing, promotion, and place (i.e., distribution). For each of these items, discuss what needs to be taken into account in order to deal with them effectively (e.g.,What do we need to think about when pricing our courses?). Then briefly describe how the item will be handled (e.g., What steps can be taken to promote the courses?). In putting together your micro-marketing plan, be practical. This micro plan is a first step in getting a handle on your marketing strategy. Ultimately, your company will develop a full scale marketing plan ? but that will occur later. Target length of this assignment: 2-4 pages
Question 3
1. In December 1999, the drug and diagnostic manufacturer, Abbott Laboratories, was fined $100 million dollars by the FDA and had to recall a very large number of products from the market. None of these products was alleged to be defective, which is the usual cause of fines and recalls. Abbott had to undertake a massive corrective action program. The fines, the recalls, and the expenses for the corrective actions totally disrupted all project plans at the company. Find out the reason for this recall and fine. Be sure to cite your sources. Find the probable reason the penalty was so severe and give your opinion on the real root cause of the recall. 2. One of the more disturbing trends in this country and other developed countries is the increasing reluctance of people to vaccinate themselves and their children. Suppose your company proposed a new project to establish a vaccine manufacturing facility. There is something of a shortage of vaccine production capacity for existing vaccines now which would be one market the new facility might address. However, the company CEO believes that a 1917-18 type of pandemic is probable in the next 10 years. He read in an article (see http://jvi.asm.org/content/76/15/7860.full) that pandemic influenza results when a type A influenza virus strain emerges with a hemagglutinin (HA) subtype to which few people have prior immunity He therefore wants to especially concentrate vaccine development work on influenza vaccines so that the company will have necessary technical skills to produce vaccines against the expected pandemic flu when it appears. He further believe that after a pandemic, resistance to vaccination will vanish. While there very obvious financial and technical risks associated with this proposed project, there are other risks. Would you support this project?. Since financial projections are not available do not assume that the NPV of this project is favorable or not. Give two non financial reasons why you would or would not support the project.
