Assignment 4: Part D: Your Marketing Plan – Video Presentation
Imagine that you are pitching your hypothetical service-based company’s marketing plan to the Shark Tank Team for possible investment. Use a tablet, smartphone, laptop, desktop, or traditional video recorder to record a three to five (3-5) minute dynamic video in which you present your full marketing plan from Assignments 1, 2, and 3.
Note: If you are using a tablet or smartphone you will need to email the video file to yourself, then save it to a computer in order to upload to Blackboard. You may want to upload your video to a file sharing service, such as Dropbox, if your email will not let you send a large video file. Dropbox is accessible from all smartphones and tablets from the Dropbox app.
Once you are ready to upload your video to Blackboard, please use the following naming convention in the popup window for your video once it is finished uploading:
· Title: Your First Name, Your Last Name - Shark Tank Investment Video Pitch
· Tags: MKT500, Shark Tank
· Description: First Name, Last Name - MKT500 Assignment 4 (Date Uploaded ex. 5-23-2014)
Note: Check with your professor for any additional instructions. If you do not have access to a video camera or necessary hardware to complete this assignment, please contact your professor.
Note: If you receive an "Error while uploading" message and you are unable to upload your video file, let your instructor know right away. You can send the file in an alternate way such as sending it to your instructor's email via a file sharing service such as Google Drive, or you can upload your video file to a video sharing service such as YouTube and then send the link to your instructor to view it from.If your video is unable to upload to any of these sources either, your computer may have insufficient bandwidth to upload video, and you should copy the file to a thumb drive and send it from a different computer or mobile device.

Scope and Goals
Each student will work alone or in pairs to research a topic and communicate the findings in a 4–7 minute video. The main objectives are to communicate clear and accurate information in an engaging manner for an audience of your peers.
Note. The project is evaluated on the basis of its accuracy, academic rigor, clarity, and ability to engage the viewers. The video is not assessed on the basis of its technical merits (i.e., the final product should not only be visually impressive, but must effectively communicate the sustainability model for their respective corporation). Pay close attention to the sound quality of the video—if no one can hear it, no one will watch it.
Deliverables
There are two deliverables:
1. The completed Sustainability by Industry worksheet (serves as the storyboard and script)
2. The final video (incorporating the answers of the Sustainability by Industry worksheet)—due April 28th by 5:00 pm.
Required elements for the video
1. Length. Your video should be 2:30 – 4:00 minutes in length, plus time for a “credit roll” to
show your references.
2. Style. There are no restrictions on the style of the video (i.e., you may use a narrated
slide show, a recorded lecture, a digital whiteboard, a stop motion animation
(Claymation), a sock puppet show, animated graphics, a scripted scene, filmed artist
drawings on paper, “man on the street” interviews, a combination of the above, etc.).
3. Title slide. Your video should begin with a descriptive title, your name(s), the name of
the school, and the year in which it was created.
4. Content. Aim to use all the information you vetted from the Sustainability by industry worksheet, class resources and pertinent information from valid sources. You are also welcome to use your own drawings, pictures, music, animations, filmed scenes, and interviews.
5. References. All artifacts (images, videos, music, sound effect, etc.) used in the video which you did not create yourself must be cited at the end. You do not need to use a complete reference; simply include a brief description of the item and a web address where the item was found (e.g., Picture of kitten www.spca.com). Include a separate section where you credit the sources of information you used to research your video (Annotated Bibliography does this). This information should be cited using a complete reference. Your instructor will provide suggestions about how to complete this step more easily.
6. File format. Your video must be submitted in one of the following file formats: .mov,
.mv4, mp4, .wmv. Note that these are rendered movies, that is, files that will play on

Persuasive Speech Instructions
This course requires you to present a persuasive speech to a live, visually documented audience of 3 or more adults. Use a video recording device to create an audible recording of this presentation for submission. After recording the presentation, upload it to YouTube as an unlisted video and post the video’s link to the instructor via the designated Blackboard assignment submission link. See the Posting Speech Videos to Blackboard via YouTube tutorial (in the Assignment Instructions folder) for step-by-step instruction about this process.
Your speech grade will be determined by the degree to which you satisfy the requirements listed below.
1. Choose an appropriate topic.
This assignment requires you to research a global, national, regional, state or local problem that apparently exists because humans in general or a specific group of humans are neglecting their duty to promote the things God values in this world.
· The problem may be political, economic, educational, environmental, medical, religious, or cultural. It may be a false belief or set of beliefs (about God, nature, or other people) that needs correction, a wrongful attitude or type of attitude (toward God, nature, or other people) that needs adjustment, a neglectful or wrong way of acting (toward God, nature, or other people) that needs to change, or a state of needfulness or brokenness that exists as it does because of human indifference or inactivity.
· The problem must be a social one that deters many individuals—not just a few isolated lives—from experiencing life according to God’s Word as he intended when he created the world the people in it.
Among the social issues that could generate a qualified speech topic are the following:
abortion, infanticide, or euthanasia
discrimination (racism, sexism, ageism)
abuse (child, elder, self, spousal)
ecology (climate change, pollution, littering)
addictions/codependency/eating disorders
education (underachievement or illiteracy)
air, land, or water pollution
famine, drought or diseases
animal abuse or vivisection
labor issues (child labor or sweatshops)
bioethics (cloning, eugenics, stem cell research)
marriage (divorce, cohabitation)
birth or population control
poverty (world hunger or homelessness)
crime (street, juvenile, gang, or white collar)
sex (pre-marital, extramarital, homosexual)
criminal justice (prison crowding, recidivism)
slavery or human trafficking
The following sites may be helpful for discovering or exploring these and other qualified topics:
Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity
The Heritage Foundation
Family Research Council
The Rutherford Institute
The American Enterprise Institute
The Pew Forum on Religion in Public Life
The Discovery Institute
Speech Goals: Because this is a persuasive speech—a speech in which you try to persuade the audience to believe or value something or to act in a specific way—and because you are to use this particular speech to advocate a rede.

Humans, especially children, have an amazing capability to learn l (2).docxpauline234567
Humans, especially children, have an amazing capability to learn language. Within the first year of life, children will have learned many of the necessary concepts to have functional language, although it will still take years to develop fully. But are humans unique in their ability to acquire language? As you know, as a graduate student I was chosen to work with Dr. Roger Fouts at the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute (CHCI), a sanctuary for chimpanzees used in ape language research and home to world renowned Washoe, the first nonhuman to acquire a human language. Four of the chimpanzees, Washoe, Moja, Tatu and Dar were immersed in American Sign Language (ASL), and they learned to communicate by using signs in their daily interactions. Loulis, Washoe's adopted son was not cross-fostered. He acquired his signs from Washoe and the three other chimpanzees. He was the first non-human to learn a human language from other non-humans. Thus, Loulis observed the other chimpanzees using the signs of ASL around him, like CHASE and TICKLE during play interactions. Washoe would even mold his hand into signs like MORE for new food. By observing and researching how Washoe and her family learn and use the signs of ASL, we have gained a better understanding of the patterns of language development that bridge species barriers. In addition to our use of language, we have also seen that our emotions and social bonds are very similar to chimpanzees. Read the attached excerpt from "Next of Kin" by Dr. Roger Fouts & Stephen Tukel Mills and answer the following questions:
1. What was Washoe doing in the tree that day that "left Harre shaken"?
2. What did Washoe do that deaf human children also do? (Give five examples)
3. What were some behaviors Washoe exhibited that proved she hadn't been trained? (Give four examples)
4. Explain how a language study like this can change a person's view of the world.

Unit 7 Heredity, Structure and Function - DiscussionMut.docxdickonsondorris
Unit 7: Heredity, Structure and Function - Discussion
Mutations are changes that occur within the genes of an organism. Sometimes these mutations impact a single gene, while other mutations impact the number or structure of entire chromosomes. Because many mutations change just one tiny piece of information in one single piece of DNA, they usually do not cause any problems. For example, imagine if someone sent you a long e-mail and accidentally misspelled the word "friend" as "freind." You would still understand the e-mail and would probably still even catch the original meaning - this is a good analogy for what happens with a point mutation, where just one part of a gene is changed.
However, sometimes a single mistake can make a big difference. Imagine if, while composing a long e-mail, you accidentally select and delete an entire paragraph, or perhaps auto-correct changes a critical word. You can imagine (and perhaps have even experienced) how such a mistake might cause great confusion and miscommunication.
Many genetic disorders are caused by changes to a single gene in the form of a point mutation or due to a chromosomal abnormality like a chromosome disorder. Sometimes these mutations are passed from one generation to the next, just like other harmless traits like eye color and blood type. These mutations may cause specific disorders, or they may predispose a person to a common disease like cancer or heart disease.
Learn about some basic patterns of inheritance by opening the chapter resources then selecting "Animations and Demonstrations." Use the interactive labeled "Inheritance of Individual Traits."

· Create an informative 12-minute video or audio news segment on a contemporary social issue.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies:
· Competency 1: Explain the nature of ethical issues.
o Explain the selected contemporary issue, with reference to practical instances.
· Competency 3: Engage in ethical debate.
o Describe the relevant contributions to the issue from at least two different academic disciplines.
· Competency 4: Develop a position on a contemporary ethical issue.
o Explain at least two distinct positions on the issue.
o Defend one's personal ethical position on the issue.
· Competency 5: Communicate effectively in the context of personal and professional moral discourse.
o Create a video or audio presentation that reports on a contemporary social issue from multiple perspectives
· Making responsible decisions about major public issues is more complex than a direct application of theory. One source of this complexity is the value of looking at the issue through a variety of disciplinary modes of inquiry:
· Psychology and sociology inform our views of individual and collective behavior.
· Mathematics and the sciences remind us that human life is part of a larger world.
· Literature and mythology encourage us to remember the power of good and evil.
· Medicine points out that what we do affects the health of our bodies.
· Communication and information technology help us learn to talk to each other.
Once again, your instructor has selected a few big issues that need to be considered from more than one of these disciplinary lenses. Learning how to integrate knowledge from multiple fields is a vital transferable skill for practical life.
Another source of complexity in dealing with a major issue is that there are many alternative solutions to think about. Intellectual honesty demands that we think critically about all of them.
· Be sure to describe and examine each alternative position fairly:
o Do not set up a simplistic version that will be easy to demolish rhetorically.
o Taking each opponent’s view seriously clarifies our own convictions.
· Apply critical thinking skills to the position you are defending, too:
o Think about what objections someone else might make to your view.
o Try to show clearly and honestly why you take this position.
Think of your thought on this issue as a chance to practice your skills for engaging in productive moral discourse from multiple points of view.
You have seen how difficult it is to work through a complex public issue by integrating disciplinary insights, debating alternatives, and defending your own position. Now, what are you going to do about it? Perhaps, there is another grand issue about which you care deeply, and the skills you’ve practiced here will work well in dealing with the complexity of that issue as well. The question remains, what will you actually do?.

Mutations are changes that occur within the genes of an organism. Sometimes these mutations impact a single gene, while other mutations impact the number or structure of entire chromosomes. Because many mutations change just one tiny piece of information in one single piece of DNA, they usually do not cause any problems. For example, imagine if someone sent you a long e-mail and accidentally misspelled the word "friend" as "freind." You would still understand the e-mail and would probably still even catch the original meaning - this is a good analogy for what happens with a point mutation, where just one part of a gene is changed.
However, sometimes a single mistake can make a big difference. Imagine if, while composing a long e-mail, you accidentally select and delete an entire paragraph, or perhaps auto-correct changes a critical word. You can imagine (and perhaps have even experienced) how such a mistake might cause great confusion and miscommunication.
Many genetic disorders are caused by changes to a single gene in the form of a point mutation or due to a chromosomal abnormality like a chromosome disorder. Sometimes these mutations are passed from one generation to the next, just like other harmless traits like eye color and blood type. These mutations may cause specific disorders, or they may predispose a person to a common disease like cancer or heart disease.
Learn about some basic patterns of inheritance by opening the chapter resources then selecting "Animations and Demonstrations." Use the interactive labeled "Inheritance of Individual Traits."

· Create an informative 12-minute video or audio news segment on a contemporary social issue.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies:
· Competency 1: Explain the nature of ethical issues.
o Explain the selected contemporary issue, with reference to practical instances.
· Competency 3: Engage in ethical debate.
o Describe the relevant contributions to the issue from at least two different academic disciplines.
· Competency 4: Develop a position on a contemporary ethical issue.
o Explain at least two distinct positions on the issue.
o Defend one's personal ethical position on the issue.
· Competency 5: Communicate effectively in the context of personal and professional moral discourse.
o Create a video or audio presentation that reports on a contemporary social issue from multiple perspectives
· Making responsible decisions about major public issues is more complex than a direct application of theory. One source of this complexity is the value of looking at the issue through a variety of disciplinary modes of inquiry:
· Psychology and sociology inform our views of individual and collective behavior.
· Mathematics and the sciences remind us that human life is part of a larger world.
· Literature and mythology encourage us to remember the power of good and evil.
· Medicine points out that what we do affects the health of our bodies.
· Communication and information technology help us learn to talk to each other.
Once again, your instructor has selected a few big issues that need to be considered from more than one of these disciplinary lenses. Learning how to integrate knowledge from multiple fields is a vital transferable skill for practical life.
Another source of complexity in dealing with a major issue is that there are many alternative solutions to think about. Intellectual honesty demands that we think critically about all of them.
· Be sure to describe and examine each alternative position fairly:
o Do not set up a simplistic version that will be easy to demolish rhetorically.
o Taking each opponent’s view seriously clarifies our own convictions.
· Apply critical thinking skills to the position you are defending, too:
o Think about what objections someone else might make to your view.
o Try to show clearly and honestly why you take this position.
Think of your thought on this issue as a chance to practice your skills for engaging in productive moral discourse from multiple points of view.
You have seen how difficult it is to work through a complex public issue by integrating disciplinary insights, debating alternatives, and defending your own position. Now, what are you going to do about it? Perhaps, there is another grand issue about which you care deeply, and the skills you’ve practiced here will work well in dealing with the complexity of that issue as well. The question remains, what will you actually do?.
This document contains discussion questions and assignments related to various sociology and psychology topics, including skin conditions, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, chronic illness, and the US healthcare system. Students are prompted to discuss issues like the psychosocial impact of different conditions, challenges in finding cures, approaches to coping, and considerations for discharge planning and community reintegration. They are also asked to analyze case studies, find innovative support programs, and outline a final paper on one of the covered topics.

The document provides guidance for choosing a topic for a persuasive speech. It states that the topic should be about a current, controversial issue with two defensible perspectives. It suggests avoiding one-sided issues like alcoholism or pollution. Instead, issues like euthanasia or the driving age that have multiple viewpoints are better topics. It also provides examples of other possible topics that meet these guidelines.

4. Kärnä and colleagues (2013) tested the effects of a new antibullying program, called KiVa, among students in grades 1–3 and grades 7–9 in 147 schools in Finland. The schools were randomly assigned to receive the new antibullying program or no program. At the beginning, middle, and end of the school year, all of the students completed a number of questionnaires, which included the following two questions: “How often have you been bullied at school in the last couple of months?” and “How often have you bullied others at school in the last couple of months?” The table below is a frequency table that shows students’ responses to these two questions at the end of the school year (referred to as “Wave 3” in the title of the table). Note that the table shows the results combined for all of the students in the study. In the table, “victimization” refers to students’ reports of being bullied and “bullying” is students’ reports of bullying other students.

Case 1: Family Loyalty vs. Meritocracy
A man was appointed president of the newly-acquired Philippine subsidiary of a large American company. He was reviewing the organization with the company's head of human resources. One thing the president noted was that the same names reoccurred frequently in several departments. "It is our tradition," commented the HR head. "Families take care of their own. If one family member gets a good job in a Philippine company, other members of the family apply to join that company and the first member there can help the whole family become successful by helping them get hired and by coaching them to be successful. The company benefits. Our costs of recruiting are lower, we know more about the people we hire, and the commitment to family success results in fewer performance and discipline problems because family members want to please their older relatives."
The president wondered how these practices would be regarded in a large American firm, and whether or not he should take action to change them.
1. Nepotism is not illegal, but is it ethical?
2. If the business is family-owned, does that make a difference?
3. How does national culture affect this discussion?
Case 2: Is the Two-Tier System Ethically Problematic
Employees at a cereal makers plant were “locked-out” from their jobs producing cereal for over 3 months. Company management and the union representing the employees reached a stalemate in negotiations resulting in the lockout. The union claims that the primary issue is the company’s demand of dramatically increasing the number of temporary workers, who would earn $6 less per hour and receive fewer benefits. Critics claim this effectively creates a two-tier system at the plant. Under the current agreement, the company may use temporary workers for up to 30% of the workforce, but the union claims the company is now pushing for 100%. The workers, who have had their health insurance suspended, fear that their jobs will either be replaced entirely by temporary workers, or they will be f ...

Barbara Corcoran Learns Her Heart’s True Desires
In her hilarious and lighthearted book, Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 Into a
Billion Dollar Business, Barbara Corcoran demonstrates the importance of knowing what
you really want out of life (Corcoran & Littlefield, 2011). As her title suggests, Barbara
founded her real estate company, The Corcoran Group, with only $1,000 and some big
dreams. Shortly after founding the company, Barbara took out a piece of paper and wrote
down some big goals for herself and the company. In 1978, she had only 14 sales agents
working for her, who earned a total of $250,000 in commissions. She set a goal of
doubling the number of agents and the commissions every year. So she put down 28 sales
people for 1979, 56 for 1980, and so on, all the way up to 1,792 salespeople in 1985 with
total commissions of $32,000,000. Barbara was amazed when she saw the fantastic sums
projected for 1985, and of course many people, when they see such amazing sums, would
dismiss the calculations as fantasy But as Barbara put it, she went to work the next day
hustling hard for her $32 million.
Real estate agents are paid largely by commission, which is about as close as you
can get to a pure form of contingent reward for performance. However, Barbara didn’t
rely solely on the commissions to motivate her workers. She threw theme parties and held
numerous social events to build a committed workforce. Good sales agents could always
move to another firm, but not every firm had Barbara’s positive attitude and fun-filled
atmosphere. In the early years of the firm, when money was tight, Barbara and her
relatives did the cooking for the outings and parties, and she found clever ways to
entertain people with skating parties and other lively activities. As the firm became larger
and more profitable, she even hired professional entertainers for the company’s midweek
picnics, which included elephant shows, daring rides on hot air balloons, horses, or
Harley Davidsons, etc. Barbara stated “I built my company on pure fun, and believe that
fun is the most underutilized motivational tool in business today. All of my best ideas
came when I was playing outside the office with the people I worked with” (Corcoran &
Littlefield, 2011, p. 283). What did she get in return for the fun atmosphere? She had the
“most profitable real estate company per person in the United States” (p. 284). By the
time she sold her agency in 2001, she had 1,000 agents working for her, and she had the
largest real estate agency in New York – clearly her motivational strategies attracted a
large number of productive employees.
Barbara Corcoran had sold her firm for $66 million. She thought that would make
her happy, but instead, it made her sad. Although she pretended to be happy with her new
wealth and freedom, she was “secretly miserable” (Corcoran & Littlefield, 2011, p. 232).
She had lost her purpose ...

Barriers of therapeutic relationshipThe therapeutic relations.docxrock73
Barriers of therapeutic relationship:
The therapeutic relationship between patient and nurse is often filled with barriers that can generate obstacles for the relationship and, in the end, the health system as a whole (Sfoggia et al.,2014). There are many factors that hinder building a therapeutic relationship: language, professional jargon, communication impairment, and cultural diversity (ibid).
Language:
Language can be an obstacle to nurse-patient communication because a patient may not be able to speak the same language and therefore communication is not possible (Levin,2006). The best way to overcome this barrier is providing a translator who can explain a professional facilitator's message easily to the patient(ibid). For instance, if the nurse only speaks English but the patient is only able to speak Arabic, a translation to the patient of what the professional facilitator is saying leads to less chance of misunderstanding (ibid). Translation also allows a patient to feel comfortable through being able to speak in their own language (ibid).
Medical jargon:
Jargon is a technical language that is comprehended by people in a specific industry or area of work (Leblanc et al.,2014). Health professionals often use jargon to communicate with each other(ibid). For example, T.B. disease stands for tubercle bacillus and HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus (Mccrary & Christensen,1993). Jargon often makes sense to health professionals but a patient who does not understand these acronyms will not understand such communication, leading to a barrier in therapeutic relationship between patient and health professional (Leblanc et al.,2014).
Communication impairment:
Patients with communication impairment such as blindness, deafness and speech impairment often feel isolated, frustrated and self-conscious (O’Halloran et al.,2009). Some patients are born with such disabilities or have developed them as a result of disease (ibid). Therefore, nurses should provide enough time in order to describe any issue to such patients so that they do not feel uncomfortable or censured by health professionals, who must remain impartial (ibid).
Cultural diversity:
Patients often have various differences (Leblanc et al.,2014).Some of these differences are due to a patient's illness, social status, economic class, education and personality(ibid). However, according to Kirkham (1998), the deepest differences might be cultural diversity. Beheri (2009) points out that many nurses believe if they just treat patients with respect, they will avoid most cultural issues. Nevertheless, avoiding misunderstanding can be achieved through some knowledge of cultural customs, which might help and enable nurses to provide better health care to patients (ibid).
Facilitators of therapeutic relationship:
UNCRPD (2006) states that the most fundamental human right in hospital is communication. Patients are required to be provided with an effective communication method by nurs ...

Critical Analysis of the religious nature of Buddhism
The religious community often debates on whether Buddhism is categorized as a religion or as philosophical teaching. The answer to the question varies depending on an individual’s point of view. There are three main types of Buddhism practices across the world with each of them having smaller branches with slights variances in their teachings and beliefs. The different styles of Buddhist mainly encompass Theravada Buddhism, Vajrayana Buddhism, and Mahayana Buddhism. The various forms often have deities that are worshipped while others do not. Some often have scriptures while others do not usually believe in any physical form of the Buddhist teachings. The first article is authored by Rachel, a blogger, presenting the argument that Buddhism is a religion (Rachel, 1). On the other hand, the second article authored by Pamela Winfield recognizes Buddhism as a philosophy. Analyzing and comparing the two pieces having divergent views on the religious nature of Buddhism is crucial for understanding whether it is a religion or philosophy.
Summary of the articles
Rachel in her article considers Buddhism as a religion. The author acknowledges the fact that Mahayana Buddhism which is often found in greater part of Asia that includes Japan, Korea, and China often teaches on attaining enlightenment (Rachel, 1). The Mahayana often accept that every individual wishes to ensure the effective attainment of enlightenment and thus end the cycle of rebirth which others recognize as “Karma.” The article proceeds to state that Buddha is the greatest of the deities but is not worshipped. Instead, Buddha often inspires all those who practice doing as he once did. The author states that Buddhism often requires that the individuals that choose the wrong path attempt to re-accomplish these tasks in their next life alongside other punishments imposed on them by karma. The characteristics of this type of Buddhism thus often play a significant role in showing the religious nature of Buddhism. The author concludes by stating that Buddhism often contains all the different elements of a religion. Moreover, the article associates Buddhism with fallacies that characterize other religions and just as dangerous as other religions as well. A quote proves the claim on the dangerous nature of Buddhism that the author uses to summarize the teachings of Buddhism.
On the other hand, Winfield tends to focus on enlightening the readers on some of the aspects of Buddhism that ensures its a ...

Marketing Plan
Name
Institution
Marketing Plan
A marketing plan is essential for the business as it helps in the
creation of awareness of the service or the goods that the
company offers. The role that marketing plan plays is important
and this means that the firm has to consider the different aspects
of marketing that they would like to integrate. It helps in
reaching to the target customers, as there is the segmentation of
the market to suit the needs of the customers. The identification
20. of the need for the technology products by Gravity Technology
is important as it helps in the creation of the strategies that meet
the needs of the company and that of the customers. The writing
down of the specific guides of the company ensures that there is
the laying down of the goals of the enterprise and this helps in
increasing efficiency.
Branding, Pricing, and Distribution Strategy
Branding
The branding strategy that the company employs is the use of
the brand managers that help in the communication of the
characteristics of the products to the target market. The use of
the brand managers is necessary as they portray the value of
using the products of the company and this means that there is
the increase in the base of the clients that consume the product.
The dealing with the customers on a one on one basis and the
portrayal of the confidence of the group assists in increasing
value.
Pricing Strategy
The pricing strategy that the company uses is the strategy of
penetration, and this is where there is the offering of low prices
for the products that it offers. The strategy is important as it
ensures that there is the increase in competition in the market
and that the customers are made aware of the products that the
company offers (Moorman & Day, 2016). The penetration
strategy is important as it creates the familiarization of the
products and helps in increasing chance of gaining a market
share. It also helps in the driving of profits for the company as
the business gets to be unique in the market.
21. Distribution Strategy
The strategy that the firm uses in distribution is the intensive
distribution, and this is line with the pricing strategy. It means
that the firm focuses on the strategy that will meet the needs of
the market that they target. It is so because the target market
through the use of the penetration strategy increases as there is
the growing awareness of the product in the market. There is the
anticipation of the growth in sales, and this makes it important
to ensure that the goods get to the clients at the required time. It
also ensures that there is increased customer satisfaction from
the delivery of the services.
Major Company Competitors
Competition in the technology industry is stiff, and this is
especially from the firms that are fully established in the
market. The main rivalries that the company is likely to face
are Amazon, IBM, and Apple, and they are classified as intra-
competitors as there is a similarity in the products offered. The
competitors are giants in the market, and this means that there
is need to observe the different strategies that they use to meet
the needs of the customers. The identification of the strengths
and the weaknesses that the competitors have is important as it
helps in the evaluation of the strategies that the company is
likely to use. Some of the strengths of the competitors include
the image of the brand that they have built as this goes a long
way in ensuring that there is the maintenance of market share in
the market (Ishtiaq Ishaq & Munazer Hussain, 2016). The
margins of profits for the competitors are also high, and this
means that they have increased chances of increased production
of the software and the hardware meaning that they meet the
demand in the market. There is also the growth in the
22. innovation of the products, and this means that they get to meet
the needs of the market.
Some of the weaknesses that the competitors face are the
increased number of entrants in the market, and this means that
they face the challenge of the decreased sales. The customers
might prefer to deal with the new entrants due to the
personalized services that they get. The networks of distribution
that are also used by the competitors might have limitations on
the policies that they use, and this means that there is the
creation of the opportunity for the company to grow where the
strategy of distribution is efficient. The increased prices of the
competitors discourage the customers creating an opportunity
for the entrant to capture the market.
Differentiation Strategy
The differentiation strategy that Gravity Technology uses is
important as it ensures that the services that the company offers
the clients are unique. It enhances the quality of the products
sold, and this makes sure that the company remains competitive.
The positioning of the Gravity technology products will ensure
that there is a distinction between those that Apple produces
and this is through offering of the goods at an attractive price.
The establishment of the cost analysis ratio is critical in the
identification of the features that the product should have. It
ensures that there is effective decision making on the pursuing
of the strategy and the identification of the additional features.
The differentiation of the products also looks at the process of
production where there is the use of the unique technology that
helps in the creation of value of the products. The focus is on
the identification of the target market and the characteristics
that they show as through the goods offered to continue to gain
23. profitability. Competition is also important in the identification
of differentiation where it focuses on the positioning of the
products in the market (Shao, 2015). It creates the importance
required to enhance the reflection of the company in the market.
The design of outputs is also unique and attractive as it helps in
making sure that there is the practicality of the strategy that the
company uses in differentiation. The constant observation of the
changes in the market ensures that there is the continuous
innovation of the strategies to use.
Leader or Follower
The intention of the company is to become a leader in the
market, and this is where there is there is the constant update of
the processes of the company to get a market share in the
enterprise. The maintenance of the leadership position requires
that there is an increase in the efforts of the company in making
sure that there is the determination of the advantages in the
market. It means that the company has to stay focused on the
methods that they use in the production of the goods and
services and to remain radical on the different processes. The
enabling of the processes is important as it ensures that there is
the evaluation of the revenues and the expenditures that the
company incurs and this assists in the adoption of the new
technologies helping to gain the leadership in the market.
The representation of the different concepts of the business is
important as it ensures that there is need to build a robust
