An important function of marketing is to drive growth in sales and revenue for a company. Marketing is especially adept at doing so for a new product with many competitive advantages and much potential. Chapter 2 introduced how companies can grow through expansion with new products and new markets, the detailed
focus of Chapters 8 and 15. Along those lines, Phil and Milton Kotler stress the following strategies.

Growing the Core
Make the core of the brand as distinctive as possible
Drive distribution through both existing and new channels
Offer the core product in new formats or versions
Although many different growth strategies are available to firms, some of the best opportunities come from growing the core—focusing on their most successful existing products and markets. UK marketing guru David Taylor advocates three main strategies, citing these examples:
1. Make the core of the brand as distinctive as possible. Galaxy chocolate has successfully competed with Cadbury by positioning itself as “your partner in chocolate indulgence” and featuring smoother product shapes, more refined taste, and sleeker packaging.
2. Drive distribution through both existing and new channels. Costa Coffee, the number-one coffee shop in the United Kingdom, has found new distribution routes using drive-thro.

Collaborative Marketing Plan Final Draft Instructions
Include the following in your Group Discussion Board Forum:
1. A report with the final Marketing Plan that includes the three previous drafts, attached as an MS Word file. In addition, this final MP must include the following sections:
· Marketing Programs & Financial Projections.
You should review pp. 54–55 of the text for examples of the key issues that should be discussed within these sections of the MP. You will need a comprehensive marketing program, which includes a discussion of: the Product Strategy, the Pricing Strategy, the Promotion Strategy and the Distribution (channels) Strategy.
The last section on Financial Projections should show a 5-year projection of expected revenues. In addition, you should present some type of idea when BE (break-even) will take place. Companies that introduce new products generally do not make a profit in “year 1” because of the high development and marketing costs required to test and launch the product. Obtaining costs will be difficult, but you should try to estimate costs.
· Executive Summary (ES)
Finally, once the MP is written, you will need to write the Executive Summary. The ES is written last but is placed right after the Table of Contents. You will want the reader to see the ES first. if they like it, they may read on. If it does not excite the reader, the MP will likely be discounted. The ES should contain only the most important findings, conclusions, and recommendations contained within your plan.
· The Table of Contents
The Table of Contents contains a list of the major sections of your marketing plan with the names of the group members that participated in the actual writing of each section. This will allow the instructor to evaluate each member’s contribution to the overall group project.
· Appendices
The only Appendix required is a reference list. Keep in mind that data and key information may need citations, but will surely require a reference list. A plan with no references will be considered marginal since information sources add considerable credibility to the ideas in your plan.
Your Collaborative Marketing Plan Final Draft must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday of Module/Week 8.

The project critical path is important; because if an activity on the critical path delays; the project delays. In looking at your project, what activities are on your critical path (note all might be if you have your activities in serial sequence)? How could you work to limit the number of activities on the critical path? How could you proactively put measures in place so if an activity slips by a couple days the entire success of the project is not jeopardized? Respond with at least 5-6 sentences.

Examining Relationships
Expected Outcomes
After reading this lecture, the student should be familiar with:
1. Issues around correlation
2. The basics of Correlation analysis
3. The basics of Linear Regression
4. The basics of the Multiple Regression
Overview
Often in our detective shows when the clues are not providing a clear answer – such as
we are seeing with the apparent continuing contradiction between the compa-ratio and salary
related results – we hear the line “maybe we need to look at this from a different viewpoint.”
That is what we will be doing this week.
Our investigation changes focus a bit this week. We started the class by finding ways to
describe and summarize data sets – finding measures of the center and dispersion of the data with
means, medians, standard deviations, ranges, etc. As interesting as these clues were, they did not
tell us all we needed to know to solve our question about equal work for equal pay. In fact, the
evidence was somewhat contradictory depending upon what measure we focused on. In Weeks 2
and 3, we changed our focus to asking questions about differences and how important different
sample outcomes were. We found that all differences were not important, and that for many
relatively small result differences we could safely ignore them for decision making purposes –
they were due to simple sampling (or chance) errors. We found that this idea of sampling error
could extend into work and individual performance outcomes observed over time; and that over-
reacting to such differences did not make much sense.
Now, in our continuing efforts to detect and uncover what the data is hiding from us, we
change focus again as we start to find out why something happened, what caused the data to act
as it did; rather than merely what happened (describing the data as we have been doing). This
week we move from examining differences to looking at relationships; that is, if some measure
changes does another measure change as well? And, if so, can we use this information to make
predictions and/or understand what underlies this common movement?
Our tools in doing this involve correlation, the measurement of how closely two
variables move together; and regression, an equation showing the impact of inputs on a final
output. A regression is similar to a recipe for a cake or other food dish; take a bit of this and
some of that, put them together, and we get our result.
Correlation
We have seen correlations a lot, and probably have even used them (formally or
informally). We know, for example, that all other things being equal; the more we eat. the more
we weigh. Kids, up to the early teens, grow taller the older they get. If we consistently speed,
we will get more speeding tickets than those who obey the speed limit. The more efforts we put
into studying, the better grades we get. All of these are examples of correlations.

DATE: February 1, 2020
SUBJECT: Out of Class Experience – Cybersecurity Conference
Cybersecurity is a topic everyone should be concerned about, so I attended the 3rd Annual Cybersecurity Event held in the Grawn Atrium. I gained insight and knowledge from listening to the speakers that came from different kinds of industries. In this memo, I will discuss what I learned from the speaker and two takeaways: 1) cybersecurity is everywhere, 2) personal identifiable information, and 3) cybersecurity for the business student.
Cybersecurity is Everywhere
The conference was an opportunity to learn about cybersecurity. The first speaker talked about how companies are attacked in many different ways every day. The “bad guys” are trying to steal company information as well as employee information. Both kinds of information are valuable on the black market. The second speaker talked about the internet of things (IoT). These are things that are attached to the internet. The speaker talked about autonomous cars and medical equipment (heart) that talks to the internet. She talked about how cyber can and should influence designs. “Things” must be created with cybersecurity included in every step of the design. The last speaker talked about how my information has value. The “bad guys” steal my information and people want to buy it. Making money is one reason hackers steal millions of records.
Personal Identifiable Information
Personal Identifiable Information (PII) is any information relating to an identifiable person. There are laws in place to help make sure this information is secure. This topic is a takeaway for me because I had no idea my data had any value t.

To simplify completing this milestone, use this template to help you write your essay. You may use each
heading as a starter sentence and then discuss the legal issues presented in the case study using the
following guide, if you choose. Be sure to explain and elaborate on how each term applies to the story.
Be sure to incorporate the facts of the case into your explanation and analysis.
Remember that the document you submit should follow the formatting guidelines described in the
Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric document.
A. Various elements must be present to prove that a valid contract exists between Sam and the
chain store.
The four elements to a contract are . (Chapter 13)
The first element of would be deemed to exist if [describe facts that
are or should be present].

If the elements of a contract did exist between these parties, there could still be some
possible reasons why a contract might not be valid based on facts not present in the
scenario. For example, if Sam was a minor at the time he made the agreement with
the chain store, the contract would not be valid because . List
some other reasons and elaborate on why a contract might be invalid.
Discuss and explain any other information you deem relevant to this answer.

Most motivational theories focus on internal factors, not external, but situations also have an impact.
Behaviorism asserts that behavior should be studied in an objective and systematic way without consideration of inner mental states.
Hull’s drive theory argues that behavior is a function of drive multiplied by habit.
Arousal is broadly defined and is thought to be responsible for consciousness, attention, and intensity.
Social facilitation refers to the tendency for the presence of others to improve task performance.
Person-by-situation explanations assert that person variables and situation variables interact with each other in a multiplicative way to influence behavior.

Key questions to be answered
The need for autonomy
Attribution theory
Overjustification effect
Illusion of control
Magical thinking
Reaction to loss of autonomy
Desire for no control
Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
The need for autonomy represents a basic desire for personal control.
Attributions refer to people’s beliefs about the cause of a particular outcome and can be in a variety of forms.
The overjustification effect tells us that motivation decreases when people are given an extrinsic reward for a task that is already intrinsically rewarding.
Most people overestimate the amount of control they have in their lives.
The illusion of control leads to magical thinking, such as tempting fate.
When people feel their freedom is being taken away, they can be reactive and then possibly show learned helplessness.
Having too many options decreases motivation to do well.

The Fall and Rise of Motivation Science
Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Key questions to be answered
Early theories on motivation examined will, which is the ability of an agent to make choices free from constraints. A variety of theorists examined will in a variety of settings.
Determinism states that some predetermined cause determines all things, and that instincts are one form of determinism.
Other theorists argued that people (and animals) are motivated by drive, which is a form of arousal that arises when a need is deprived.
Incentives stemmed from behaviorism, which examined incentives and learning.
In the 1970s, cognition changed the way we understand motivation, removing it from other paradigms.
As with other disciplines, motivation has experienced rises and falls. Currently, there is an increased interest in motivation.

Building a company with the help of IT is really necessary as most.docx
Building a company with the help of IT is really necessary as most of the daily things are running via technology these days and while using technology you must have some minimum criteria for all of those who are using it. Usually, the company must make some policies for internal use and external use, so that where someone crosses the line, they are able to catch hold of them and take a severe action as per the business policies. Now this is really important because due to an error from one person there are other people who would get affected, and there are multiple stages to those areas, that checks the severity of all of those mistakes.
Here some of them that is general while making policies, such as visiting pornographic web sites using company computer is not allowed, disrupting another’s data or computer system and sharing corporate database information. When employees make any of these mistakes, then companies have authorities to terminate employees from the business. Usually every employee is supposed work as per the basic rules or you can say acceptable usage policy. While using company materials and internet, because most of the office work is done over the internet, like using cloud or any other online applications. This allows you to have full access to outside world, but you must know what are the DO’s and Don’t’s. This will help you stick to the company for long time and also grow with the company as much as possible (Information Resources Management Association. International Conference).
These are made by looking at the history, because most of the employees have made some worst things in the history for personal benefits and ended sharing company details with outsiders, and hampered own company value. Using such valuable data, someone from outside can take over the company or misuse the data or they can do anything that can hurt the business directly. When the business owners are going under loss, the company can take actions against such activity or people who are committing those mistakes.

Build a slide presentation (PowerPoint preferred) of the health .docx
Build a slide presentation (PowerPoint preferred) of the health promotion plan you developed in the first assessment. Then, implement your health promotion plan by conducting a face-to-face educational session addressing the health concern and health goals of your selected community member or group. In addition, collaborate with any participants in setting goals for the session, evaluating session outcomes, and suggesting possible revisions to improve future sessions.
As you begin to prepare this assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Vila Health: Conducting an Effective Educational Session activity. The information gained from completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment as you consider key issues in conducting an effective educational session for a selected audience. Completing activities is also a way to demonstrate engagement.
Professional Context
Health education
is any combination of learning experiences designed to help community individuals, families, and aggregates improve their health by increasing knowledge or influencing attitudes (WHO, 2018). Education is key to health promotion, disease prevention, and disaster preparedness. The health indicator framework identified in Healthy People 2020 helps motivate action in such areas as health service access, clinical preventive services, environmental quality, injury or violence, maternal, infant and child health, mental health, nutrition, substance abuse, and tobacco use.
Nurses provide accurate evidence-based information and education in various formal and informal settings. They draw upon evidence-based practice to provide health promotion and disease prevention activities to create social and physical environments conducive to improving and maintaining community health. When provided with the tools to be successful, people demonstrate lifestyle changes (self-care) that promote health and help reduce readmissions. They are better able to tolerate stressors, including environmental changes, and enjoy a better quality of life. In times of crisis, a resilient community is a safer community (ODPHP, n.d.; Flanders, 2018).
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply teaching and learning concepts to the presentation of a health promotion plan.
Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 3: Evaluate health policies, based on their ability to achieve desired outcomes.
Evaluate educational session outcomes in terms of progress made toward Healthy People 2020 goals and leading health indicators.
Competency 4: Integrate principles of social justice in community health interventions.

Budgets 27
shaded triangle in Figure 2.3, while the corresponding budget set is the vol-
ume of the tetrahedron formed by the budget surface and the three axes. The
three dots along the axes show consumption bundles where all the income is
spent on that good; at any point on the budget surface, the consumer spends
all her income on some combination of the three goods.
In general, if there are n goods where x i denotes the ith good and pi its
price, the budget constraint is
p1 x 1 + p2 x 2 + . . . + pn x n ≤ m. (2.4)
2.3 Changes in Prices or Income
By changing prices of goods or income one at a time, we can see how budgets
are affected. The simplest way to see these consequences is to begin with
equation (2.3) and to observe what happens to the intercept and the slope of
the budget line as we change each price or income in isolation.

Figure 2.4 Budgets after changes in p1, p2 and m
Starting with the budget in Figure 2.2 where p1 = $2, p2 = $1, and m =
$10, consider each of the following changes. In Figure 2.4, the new positions
of the budget lines after each of the changes are shown with magenta arrows.
(a) Suppose p1 decreases to $1.25 per unit. This leaves the vertical inter-
cept unchanged but makes the slope of the budget –1.25, as depicted ¶b
in the left panel.

(b) Suppose p2 increases to $2 per unit. This lowers the vertical intercept
and flattens the slope of the budget from –2 to –1, as shown in the
center panel.
(c) Suppose m decreases to $6. This decreases both the horizontal and ver-
tical intercepts but leaves the slope unchanged, as shown in the right

2.3.1 Endowment budgets
Ms. i comes into the world with 4 apples and 3 bananas. We refer to this
initial amount of the two goods as i’s individual endowment and write this
commodity bundle as ωi = (4, 3).5 Suppose the price of an apple is $1 and
each banana is priced at $2. Then we may think of the value of an individ-
ual’s endowment as ($1 × 4) + ($2 × 3) = $10 and refer to this as i’s income,
since this is the amount of money she would have if she sold all her apples
and bananas. With this income of $10, we can draw her budget line with
slope –0.5 which is shown in Figure 2.5 with a thin blue line. If the price of
an apple remains at $1 but the price of a banana falls to $1, then i’s income
becomes $7 and the the budget line is steeper with a slope of –1, i.e., the bud-
get line pivots around the individual endowment point as the relative price
ratio changes.

Vocational Scenario or Context
As a WKC business student, you are trying to gain as much experience of business functional areas as possible and have managed to gain a two-week placement with a leading company in their Human Resources (HR) department. There is the possibility of an internship at the end of your course depending on how well you complete the placement in researching and reporting back on the following factors:
1. The internal and external factors that are involved in the HR planning in organisations
2. How the employee skills required are identified
Your placement provider is very keen for you to demonstrate a range of communication skills and expects your feedback in a variety of formats.
Task 1
In order to complete this section of the assignment, write an essay describing the factors that impact Human Resource (HR) planning in an organisation of your choice.
You will need to consider:
a) Internal planning factors such as organisational needs, skills requirements, workforce profiles
b) External planning factors such as supply of labour, labour costs, workforce skills, government policy, labour market competition, changing nature of work, employee expectations, impact of automation, demand for products and services
You now need to develop your work to explain why HR planning is important in your organisation? You should explore the following:
a) Why your organisation needs effective HR planning to succeed
b) What constitutes effective HR planning
Make sure you provide specific examples and that you have clearly demonstrated and explained the advantages of good planning and how poor planning can have severe implications.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING FORECASTING ASSIGNMENT
You’re a budget analyst who’s tasked with doing a “sanity check” on Arapahoe County’s 2018 adopted budget. In doing so, you’ll need to think about the nature of forecasting. What we are doing here, as budget examiners, is to build projections using the previous years to develop our own independent estimates of what to expect for the 2018 budget.
This type of analysis would usually be done on the front end as part of budget formulation and is logically prior to budget adoption. So we have to use “make believe” to get past the timing being backwards.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

After reading this lecture, the student should be familiar with:

4. The basics of the Multiple Regression
Overview
Often in our detective shows when the clues are not providing a clear answer – such as
we are seeing with the apparent continuing contradiction between the compa-ratio and salary
related results – we hear the line “maybe we need to look at this from a different viewpoint.”
That is what we will be doing this week.
Our investigation changes focus a bit this week. We started the class by finding ways to
describe and summarize data sets – finding measures of the center and dispersion of the data with
means, medians, standard deviations, ranges, etc. As interesting as these clues were, they did not
tell us all we needed to know to solve our question about equal work for equal pay. In fact, the
evidence was somewhat contradictory depending upon what measure we focused on. In Weeks 2
and 3, we changed our focus to asking questions about differences and how important different
sample outcomes were. We found that all differences were not important, and that for many
relatively small result differences we could safely ignore them for decision making purposes –
they were due to simple sampling (or chance) errors. We found that this idea of sampling error
could extend into work and individual performance outcomes observed over time; and that over-
reacting to such differences did not make much sense.
Now, in our continuing efforts to detect and uncover what the data is hiding from us, we
change focus again as we start to find out why something happened, what caused the data to act
as it did; rather than merely what happened (describing the data as we have been doing). This
week we move from examining differences to looking at relationships; that is, if some measure
changes does another measure change as well? And, if so, can we use this information to make
predictions and/or understand what underlies this common movement?
Our tools in doing this involve correlation, the measurement of how closely two
variables move together; and regression, an equation showing the impact of inputs on a final
output. A regression is similar to a recipe for a cake or other food dish; take a bit of this and
some of that, put them together, and we get our result.
Correlation
We have seen correlations a lot, and probably have even used them (formally or
informally). We know, for example, that all other things being equal; the more we eat. the more
we weigh. Kids, up to the early teens, grow taller the older they get. If we consistently speed,
we will get more speeding tickets than those who obey the speed limit. The more efforts we put
into studying, the better grades we get. All of these are examples of correlations.
Correlatio.

SUBJECT: Out of Class Experience – Cybersecurity Conference
Cybersecurity is a topic everyone should be concerned about, so I attended the 3rd Annual Cybersecurity Event held in the Grawn Atrium. I gained insight and knowledge from listening to the speakers that came from different kinds of industries. In this memo, I will discuss what I learned from the speaker and two takeaways: 1) cybersecurity is everywhere, 2) personal identifiable information, and 3) cybersecurity for the business student.
Cybersecurity is Everywhere
The conference was an opportunity to learn about cybersecurity. The first speaker talked about how companies are attacked in many different ways every day. The “bad guys” are trying to steal company information as well as employee information. Both kinds of information are valuable on the black market. The second speaker talked about the internet of things (IoT). These are things that are attached to the internet. The speaker talked about autonomous cars and medical equipment (heart) that talks to the internet. She talked about how cyber can and should influence designs. “Things” must be created with cybersecurity included in every step of the design. The last speaker talked about how my information has value. The “bad guys” steal my information and people want to buy it. Making money is one reason hackers steal millions of records.
Personal Identifiable Information
Personal Identifiable Information (PII) is any information relating to an identifiable person. There are laws in place to help make sure this information is secure. This topic is a takeaway for me because I had no idea my data had any value t.

Most motivational theories focus on internal factors, not external, but situations also have an impact.
Behaviorism asserts that behavior should be studied in an objective and systematic way without consideration of inner mental states.
Hull’s drive theory argues that behavior is a function of drive multiplied by habit.
Arousal is broadly defined and is thought to be responsible for consciousness, attention, and intensity.
Social facilitation refers to the tendency for the presence of others to improve task performance.
Person-by-situation explanations assert that person variables and situation variables interact with each other in a multiplicative way to influence behavior.

Key questions to be answered
The need for autonomy
Attribution theory
Overjustification effect
Illusion of control
Magical thinking
Reaction to loss of autonomy
Desire for no control
Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
The need for autonomy represents a basic desire for personal control.
Attributions refer to people’s beliefs about the cause of a particular outcome and can be in a variety of forms.
The overjustification effect tells us that motivation decreases when people are given an extrinsic reward for a task that is already intrinsically rewarding.
Most people overestimate the amount of control they have in their lives.
The illusion of control leads to magical thinking, such as tempting fate.
When people feel their freedom is being taken away, they can be reactive and then possibly show learned helplessness.
Having too many options decreases motivation to do well.

The Fall and Rise of Motivation Science
Copyright © 2018 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Key questions to be answered
Early theories on motivation examined will, which is the ability of an agent to make choices free from constraints. A variety of theorists examined will in a variety of settings.
Determinism states that some predetermined cause determines all things, and that instincts are one form of determinism.
Other theorists argued that people (and animals) are motivated by drive, which is a form of arousal that arises when a need is deprived.
Incentives stemmed from behaviorism, which examined incentives and learning.
In the 1970s, cognition changed the way we understand motivation, removing it from other paradigms.
As with other disciplines, motivation has experienced rises and falls. Currently, there is an increased interest in motivation.

Building a company with the help of IT is really necessary as most.docx
Building a company with the help of IT is really necessary as most of the daily things are running via technology these days and while using technology you must have some minimum criteria for all of those who are using it. Usually, the company must make some policies for internal use and external use, so that where someone crosses the line, they are able to catch hold of them and take a severe action as per the business policies. Now this is really important because due to an error from one person there are other people who would get affected, and there are multiple stages to those areas, that checks the severity of all of those mistakes.
Here some of them that is general while making policies, such as visiting pornographic web sites using company computer is not allowed, disrupting another’s data or computer system and sharing corporate database information. When employees make any of these mistakes, then companies have authorities to terminate employees from the business. Usually every employee is supposed work as per the basic rules or you can say acceptable usage policy. While using company materials and internet, because most of the office work is done over the internet, like using cloud or any other online applications. This allows you to have full access to outside world, but you must know what are the DO’s and Don’t’s. This will help you stick to the company for long time and also grow with the company as much as possible (Information Resources Management Association. International Conference).
These are made by looking at the history, because most of the employees have made some worst things in the history for personal benefits and ended sharing company details with outsiders, and hampered own company value. Using such valuable data, someone from outside can take over the company or misuse the data or they can do anything that can hurt the business directly. When the business owners are going under loss, the company can take actions against such activity or people who are committing those mistakes.

Build a slide presentation (PowerPoint preferred) of the health .docx
Build a slide presentation (PowerPoint preferred) of the health promotion plan you developed in the first assessment. Then, implement your health promotion plan by conducting a face-to-face educational session addressing the health concern and health goals of your selected community member or group. In addition, collaborate with any participants in setting goals for the session, evaluating session outcomes, and suggesting possible revisions to improve future sessions.
As you begin to prepare this assessment, you are encouraged to complete the Vila Health: Conducting an Effective Educational Session activity. The information gained from completing this activity will help you succeed with the assessment as you consider key issues in conducting an effective educational session for a selected audience. Completing activities is also a way to demonstrate engagement.
Professional Context
Health education
is any combination of learning experiences designed to help community individuals, families, and aggregates improve their health by increasing knowledge or influencing attitudes (WHO, 2018). Education is key to health promotion, disease prevention, and disaster preparedness. The health indicator framework identified in Healthy People 2020 helps motivate action in such areas as health service access, clinical preventive services, environmental quality, injury or violence, maternal, infant and child health, mental health, nutrition, substance abuse, and tobacco use.
Nurses provide accurate evidence-based information and education in various formal and informal settings. They draw upon evidence-based practice to provide health promotion and disease prevention activities to create social and physical environments conducive to improving and maintaining community health. When provided with the tools to be successful, people demonstrate lifestyle changes (self-care) that promote health and help reduce readmissions. They are better able to tolerate stressors, including environmental changes, and enjoy a better quality of life. In times of crisis, a resilient community is a safer community (ODPHP, n.d.; Flanders, 2018).
This assessment provides an opportunity for you to apply teaching and learning concepts to the presentation of a health promotion plan.
Demonstration of Proficiency
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 3: Evaluate health policies, based on their ability to achieve desired outcomes.
Evaluate educational session outcomes in terms of progress made toward Healthy People 2020 goals and leading health indicators.
Competency 4: Integrate principles of social justice in community health interventions.
Evaluate educational session outcomes and the attainment of agreed-upon health goals in collaboration with participants.
Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly communication strategies to lead health prom.

Budgets 27
shaded triangle in Figure 2.3, while the corresponding budget set is the vol-
ume of the tetrahedron formed by the budget surface and the three axes. The
three dots along the axes show consumption bundles where all the income is
spent on that good; at any point on the budget surface, the consumer spends
all her income on some combination of the three goods.
In general, if there are n goods where x i denotes the ith good and pi its
price, the budget constraint is
p1 x 1 + p2 x 2 + . . . + pn x n ≤ m. (2.4)
2.3 Changes in Prices or Income
By changing prices of goods or income one at a time, we can see how budgets
are affected. The simplest way to see these consequences is to begin with
equation (2.3) and to observe what happens to the intercept and the slope of
the budget line as we change each price or income in isolation.

Figure 2.4 Budgets after changes in p1, p2 and m
Starting with the budget in Figure 2.2 where p1 = $2, p2 = $1, and m =
$10, consider each of the following changes. In Figure 2.4, the new positions
of the budget lines after each of the changes are shown with magenta arrows.
(a) Suppose p1 decreases to $1.25 per unit. This leaves the vertical inter-
cept unchanged but makes the slope of the budget –1.25, as depicted ¶b
in the left panel.

(b) Suppose p2 increases to $2 per unit. This lowers the vertical intercept
and flattens the slope of the budget from –2 to –1, as shown in the
center panel.
(c) Suppose m decreases to $6. This decreases both the horizontal and ver-
tical intercepts but leaves the slope unchanged, as shown in the right
panel.
2.3.1 Endowment budgets
Ms. i comes into the world with 4 apples and 3 bananas. We refer to this
initial amount of the two goods as i’s individual endowment and write this
commodity bundle as ωi = (4, 3).5 Suppose the price of an apple is $1 and
each banana is priced at $2. Then we may think of the value of an individ-
ual’s endowment as ($1 × 4) + ($2 × 3) = $10 and refer to this as i’s income,
since this is the amount of money she would have if she sold all her apples
and bananas. With this income of $10, we can draw her budget line with
slope –0.5 which is shown in Figure 2.5 with a thin blue line. If the price of
an apple remains at $1 but the price of a banana falls to $1, then i’s income
becomes $7 and the the budget line is steeper with a slope of –1, i.e., the bud-
get line pivots around the individual endowment point as the relative price
ratio changes.

Vocational Scenario or Context
As a WKC business student, you are trying to gain as much experience of business functional areas as possible and have managed to gain a two-week placement with a leading company in their Human Resources (HR) department. There is the possibility of an internship at the end of your course depending on how well you complete the placement in researching and reporting back on the following factors:
1. The internal and external factors that are involved in the HR planning in organisations
2. How the employee skills required are identified
Your placement provider is very keen for you to demonstrate a range of communication skills and expects your feedback in a variety of formats.
Task 1
In order to complete this section of the assignment, write an essay describing the factors that impact Human Resource (HR) planning in an organisation of your choice.
You will need to consider:
a) Internal planning factors such as organisational needs, skills requirements, workforce profiles
b) External planning factors such as supply of labour, labour costs, workforce skills, government policy, labour market competition, changing nature of work, employee expectations, impact of automation, demand for products and services
You now need to develop your work to explain why HR planning is important in your organisation? You should explore the following:
a) Why your organisation needs effective HR planning to succeed
b) What constitutes effective HR planning
Make sure you provide specific examples and that you have clearly demonstrated and explained the advantages of good planning and how poor planning can have severe implications.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING FORECASTING ASSIGNMENT
You’re a budget analyst who’s tasked with doing a “sanity check” on Arapahoe County’s 2018 adopted budget. In doing so, you’ll need to think about the nature of forecasting. What we are doing here, as budget examiners, is to build projections using the previous years to develop our own independent estimates of what to expect for the 2018 budget.
This type of analysis would usually be done on the front end as part of budget formulation and is logically prior to budget adoption. So we have to use “make believe” to get past the timing being backwards.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
