Price Strategy

[WLO: 1] [CLO: 3]

Prior to completing the quiz, review Chapter 5, Table 5.3: Pricing Strategies and Objectives of the course text.

Instructions

This week, you will have an opportunity to practice completing identifying pricing strategies. Fill out the below table and submit it to Waypoint as the journal requirement for this week. You can access the table by downloading the Week 3 Journal Entry template.

We will be discussing a functional team and how it works both positively and negatively. What is the difference between a team and a group? The difference is that everyone in a team has the same shared end goal and a group does not. A great example of this would be our team here. We all have the same shared end goal, to get a full grade on this project. We have decided to pick a specific team from the reading to focus this project on. I will turn this over to Jose to discuss our chosen team topic. 

Write a 600–800 word white paper for a consulting company about the supply chain and distribution strategy of a manufacturing company, based on a library article.

• Questions to Consider 

To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the business community

• Why is it important to consider uncertainty when evaluating supply chain design decisions?• What are the major sources of uncertainty that can affect global supply chain decisions? o Consider the financial, logistic, political, natural, cultural, and technological sources of uncertainty.• Assessment Instructions

For this assessment, consider that you work as a business analyst for a consulting firm that specializes in helping clients improve their operations and associated processes. Your manager asked you to write a white paper that they will use to demonstrate how your firm can help clients implement best practices in their supply chains and distribution channels, and you and your manager selected Dell as the subject of the white paper.

Dell has been selling computers for over 25 years with its unique, direct build-to-order sales model.

As part of your research into Dell’s supply chain and distribution strategy, you identified related articles in the Capella library (linked in the Resources under the Required Resources heading) that you decided to use to help you write your white paper. You and your manager decided your white paper should address the following points:

• Analyze why Dell’s supply chain strategy is successful.• Describe the main supply chain challenges that Dell is now facing and provide strategies to effectively overcome the challenges.• Analyze how Dell has changed its supply chain to satisfy its customers. As an example, was Dell’s decision to sell its products via retail outlets a viable solution? Do you agree with this distribution strategy? Why or why not?

Based on the intended audience, your report should be well organized and written in clear, succinct language. Target 600–800 words. Attributing sources in your professional and academic work supports your analysis and conclusions and demonstrates ethical behavior and academic honesty. Following APA rules for attributing sources provides consistency and ensures that readers can locate original sources if desired.

Academic Integrity and APA Formatting

As a reminder related to using APA rules to ensure academic honesty:

4. When using a direct quote (using exact or nearly exact wording), you must enclose the quoted wording in quotation marks, immediately followed by an in-text citation. The source must then be listed in your references page.5. When paraphrasing (using your own words to describe a non-original idea), the paraphrased idea must be immediately followed by an in-text citation and the source must be listed in your references page.•

Benefits and Solutions

Hirers buy benefits and solutions! Think of every interview as a buyer/seller relationship. You have a service to sell, which is your value to the employer, and like a good salesperson, you need to know how to use techniques to help you make the sale.

Instructions:

In Topic 1 of Unit 3, you learned of three (3) ways you can convince the hiring authority to buy what you have to offer.

1. Yourself and your personality
2. Your abilities and your credentials
3. Your potential worth to the company

For this discussion, reflect on how you can use yourself and your personality to make the sale.

• Choose a personality trait of yours and explain why you chose that strength.
• Discuss how that personality trait reflects the P.R.I.C.E. elements of success.
• Describe the soft skills that are related to the chosen trait.
• Explain how you plan to use the elements of P.R.I.C.E. and the soft skills you have chosen, to sell that personality trait

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

Unit VII Essay Open

Instructions

In a persuasive essay, link organizational technology, value, and strategy. You may use a real-life organization you have researched (or worked for) in order to illustrate your argument. Cite at least one article using a CSU Online Library database to support your essay’s main ideas. Use section headers to share your findings, and persuade readers on the following topics:

• Identify three kinds of technology in an organization.
• Explain how different types of technology create different competencies.
• Describe how technology impacts organizational culture.
• Explain how technology can help organizational effectiveness.
• Relate how technology can propel an organization’s global expansion strategies.

You can find an article for this assignment by going to the CSU Online Library. Choose a database to search for your article, and then type key words in the database’s search box to find an article related to your topic. If you have any questions, the librarians’ contact information can be found on the right side of the library’s page.

Your essay should be two pages in length, not including the title page or reference page. You are required to cite at least one article from the CSU Online Library. All sources used must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying in-text citations in the proper APA format.

One of the tasks you face as a manager, especially if your organization makes frequent business transactions, is that of preparing a budget. A budget is a tool used for planning and controlling your financial resources. It is a guideline for your future plan of action, expressed in financial terms within a set period of time. A budget does not have to be complex. However, it should support the strategic plan for the organization. We will need resources to achieve our goals and objectives.

For this assignment, you will focus on the operating budget. An operating budget shows the company’s projected revenue and associated expenses for an upcoming period—usually the next year. An operating budget starts with revenue, and then shows each expense type. This includes variable costs, or the costs that vary with sales, such as the cost of raw materials and production labor. The operating budget includes fixed costs, such as the monthly rent on office space or the monthly payment for a photocopier lease. The budget also includes operating expenses, such as interest on business loans, and the non-cash expense of depreciation. These items enable the company to compute its projected net income and net profit percentage.

Imagine you are the healthcare administrator for an actual non-profit clinic, home health agency, or outpatient surgery center. Your first task is to locate either the strategic plan for that organization or determine its strategic direction through the vision statement, mission/purpose statement, and strategic priorities/goals. You will also need to locate the audited financial statements for the organization.

Using the information from your research, develop a one-year operating budget for the chosen entity, which will include operating revenues and expenses. Include a 1–2 page document to justify the approach you use in constructing the operating budget with the strategic plan or strategic direction.

• Upload the strategic plan or strategic direction and audited financial statements as an attachment or include the web link.
• Complete your operating budget using Excel.
• Support your work with at least 3 quality references, one being your course textbook.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

• Develop a budget for a department within a healthcare organization.
