WEEK 1
Define advertising, and explain it through a banking-related example
Advertisement in simple terms refers to the act of making a notice or public announcement with the aim of promoting a product, a job vacancy or a service (Stanton, 1984). It is done through different forms of audiovisual communication such as print, television and so on. In technical terms, the act of advertisement can be described as a form of marketing involving the sending of a non-personal message to the consumer with the aim of selling an idea a product or a service (Stanton, 1984).
Let’s say a bank wants to make its consumers aware of a new mobile banking feature. The feature allows them to control all their banking activities via a mobile phone app. The new banking feature is not only to ensure its current customers stick to the bank in question but also attract new ones. The bank needs to advertise this feature to make the immediate public aware. But awareness isn’t enough, it needs to make them interested in what they have to offer, hence they will end up using catchy words and phrases coupled with flashy graphics with short slogans. This is what constitutes the process of advertisement. Everything revolving around making an audience aware or interested in a feature.
Define public relations, and explain it through a banking-related example
According to Roos (2014), Public relations refer to all activities that revolve around a certain company or organization maintaining a preferred and favorable message in the eyes of the public. Contrary to advertisement, public relations are usually not marketing oriented hence it may resort to the provision of free coverage to the clients (Roos, 2014)
Let’s take into account the banking scenario presented above. A customer may be so impressed with the wide range of features the banking app has to offer that he/she may write a letter expressing how overwhelmed he or she is. The banks may then call the customer and conduct an interview concerning the app's features. The interview may be put on the newspaper as an article. The customer may not be offered any form of payment, but the publication of the interview will work very well in portraying a good image of the bank to the consumers.
Compare and contrast these concepts as they relate to marketing
Advertising and Public Relations are similar in that both seek to raise public awareness for promotion purposes (Roos, 2014). They are both communicated through a formal form of communication such as print and television, and finally, they are both done with the intent of gaining favorable coverage from the immediate public (Roos, 2014).
Advertising, however, gives the company, individual or organization complete control on the structure of the ad itself, such as the message, graphics and so on (Stanton, 1984). Public relations give limited control. Advertisement is also centered to the promotion of a specific product ...

Developing Advertising and Public Relation-based Objectives
Enrique Ramirez
Colorado Technical University
MGM 320: Advertising and Public Relations
Every company has to have an objective for having advertising and public relations campaigns. All objectives are however tied to controlling the manner in which customers perceive the company. This paper will highlight several objectives that the advertising campaign for a bank can have. Banks are in the service industry and the perception of customers is quite important. Along the way, distinct differences between marketing of products and services will be seen.
Growing Customer Numbers
One strategic goal of a bank is to increase sales over time and increasing the level of loyalty of its customers. Increasing the revenues of the bank is achieved through two main ways. First, the company increase the number of customers it has-market share. Once this is done, the banks seeks to increase the number of services that each customer subscribes to. When a customer purchases several products from the bank besides account maintenance, it means that the bank has managed to grow their share in the customer's wallet (Zerfass & Duhring, 2012). Marketing and public relations are primarily supposed to increase revenues for a firm. The marketing messages may draw contrasts between the customer's current banker and what the company is offering. This way, customers may be convinced to change banking service providers in order to enjoy the benefits promised.
Advertising messages may also be aimed at the proportion of people that do not yet have access to banking services. In this case, the company may run a public relations exercise whereby they educate people on the benefits of having banking services (Zerfass & Duhring, 2012). The target population will subscribe to the banks services because the bank has demonstrated care and concern for their financial stability. These customers are likely to stick with the bank for the long haul even when they are in a position to purchase more than one product from the bank. This suggests that there is a need for banks to be patient with their customers because most will only be able to purchase one or two products but their financial strength grows with time.
Promoting a Positive Corporate Image
Financial institutions have a fiduciary duty to safeguard the interests of customers by managing funds deposited with them prudently. These institutions have to gain the trust of customers as a way of safeguarding their market share. The marketing messages sent out to customers therefore have to emphasize on the positive corporate governance efforts the company has in place. For instance, the company could inform external stakeholders on how and when they can access financial records of the company (Zerfass & Duhring, 2012). In case the company has received recognitions or awards for its proper manag ...

Introduction
Marketing is done to popularize and already existing product or introduce a new product in the market. New City Home Care is an already existing facility that offers palliative care for senior citizens. The service seeks to expand in Sunny Beach by introducing a satellite office. The fact that the home care did not exist in Sunny Beach before the campaign means that marketing will assume that it is a new product. The important factors to consider during a marketing campaign are defining the target audience, evaluating the potential of the new market, assessing the strategies to use to build rapport with the public, and engaging in research to ensure that decisions are made about the changing dynamics in the community.
Defining the Target Audience
New City Home Care is a private establishment that provides geriatric care. Before a company expands into a new market, it is necessary for the company to define the target market and establish whether the market is in need of the products the business offers. Although Sunny Beach is a small community, the population of retirees has been growing steadily over the years. Traditionally, taking care of the aged was often a role played by younger and stronger relatives in the community (Cress, 2015). However, the current business environment has changed, and young and energetic people have to earn a living by working. Rather than hire people to take care of the aged, relatives now prefer to take them to homes where old people can benefit from professional care offered (Springhouse Corporation, 2012). The marketing objectives of the campaign will be to introduce the New City Home Care in Sunny Beach as a brand and inform the target audience of the need to benefit from the services offered. Studies have shown that more people look for services online (Charlesworth, 2014). Therefore, the marketing message will be delivered via internet tools such as social media, YouTube videos, and blogs. Such a campaign can only be successful when it is conducted by professionals who are in the business of internet marketing (Juon, Greiling, & Buerkle, 2012). Therefore, the business will seek the services of a professional online marketing company to ensure that whole process is handled with the necessary expertise. The campaign will be evaluated about the number of traffic it brings from Sunny Beach community.
Potential Impact of the Extended Facility
In the service industry, the success of a business depends on the nature of relationship it nurtures with its target audience (Sood, 2017). The campaign expects that the whole exercise will sensitize the community of the importance of having old and probably incapacitated senior citizens taken to a home care facility. People are already aware of the existence of such services. Therefore, the campaign seeks to inform ...

“MPOWER CARD” Campaign by Hang Seng Bank
Companies today are facing heightened competition due to globalization and improved customer awareness of their worth and leverage. These developments have, therefore, made it imperative that firms adapt by improving their leadership strategies as well as marketing approaches. This essay delves into a marketing campaign developed by Hang Seng Band in order to improve its competitiveness in Hong Kong’s banking industry.
Hang Seng Bank is a commercial bank in Hong Kong with a major focus in retail banking, private banking, commercial banking as well as wealth management. The company’s operations are guided by its mission statements, which indicate that it is focused on growing its profitability by exceeding the expectations of its stakeholders by ensuring excellence in its service provision.
The marketing campaign elements of the selected financial institution
According to KwoK (2019), the “MPOWER CARD” campaign is aimed at marketing credit cards among the youth. In particular, the campaign is targeted at the generation, which is appreciative of personal identity, creative expression as well as popular culture. The other element of the campaign is that it reflects the culture as well as the vibe of the city by including young people who are living a good life in the advertisement. The youths are depicted as expressing their individuality and creativity through engagement in various activities. In essence, this is the target of the marketing campaign, an aspect which ensures the focusing of efforts on this particular category.
In addition to that, the campaign contains a value proposition that is focused on meeting the needs of the target customers. As indicated by KwoK (2019), the bank considered various factors pertaining to this particular group, including the fact that they have not been integrated in the banking system irrespective of the fact that they have finances that need managing. Ostensibly the manager of the bank asserts that the millennial has become financially independent an aspect which necessitates that they are provided with banking services in the form of credit cards. Apart from that, the article reveals that the target group have not been provided with services that suit their unique requirements. This realization, as such, necessitates the adoption of features that encompass youth living a good life in the campaign. In essence, the campaign, in this case, serves to resolve some of the most pertinent financial challenges affecting the target community.
The other element of the marketing campaign is its ability to rely on various channels in delivering information to the target segment. In particular, the campaign utilizes onl ...

Post#1
Nowadays, there are numerous advancements in technology. As a result, the traditional workplace has gradually transformed with home offices and virtual workplaces where employees can hold meetings using video teleconferencing tools and communicate through email and other applications such as Slack (Montrief, et al., 2020). This makes the cloud more busy which brings up the need for improved cloud security.
Generally, in a public cloud, there exists a shared responsibility between the user and the Cloud Service Provider (CSP). Due to the rise of cyber-related crimes over the years, security for things like data classification, network controls and physical security need clear owners. The division of such responsibilities is called shared responsibility model for cloud security. “According to Amazon Web Services (AWS), security responsibility is shared by both CSP and CSC and they called it as Shared Security Responsible Model” (Kumar, Raj, & Jelciana, 2018). “While client and endpoint protection, identity and access management and application level controls are a shared responsibility the responsibility resides largely with the client organization” (Lane, Shrestha, & Ali, 2017). However, the responsibilities may vary depending on the cloud service provider and the cloud environment the user is using to operate. Nevertheless, despite the cloud services used, the burden of protecting data lays upon the user.
Normally, security is broken down into two broad categories: security of the cloud and security in the cloud. Security of the cloud is a section of the shared responsibility model handled by the cloud service provider. It comprises of hardware, host operating systems and physical security of the infrastructure. Most of these logistical challenges are offloaded when an organization moves its operations to the cloud. In contrast, security in the cloud is the security responsibility handled by the user. “The cloud service customer is responsible for securing and managing the applications that run in the cloud, the operating systems, data-at-rest, data-in-transit, policies and other responsibilities” (Bennett & Robertson, 2019). Since access to customer data remains the most critical component in cloud computing, it also determined the level of security in the cloud to be implemented by the customer.
The customer is responsible for the following components. First, the customer is responsible for data security. While the provider is responsible for automatically encrypting data in transit and in storage, the customer is expected to configure file system encryption and protection of network traffic. Secondly, the customer is responsible for physical security of computers and other devices used to access the cloud. Thirdly, the customer is responsible for application security. Security of manag.

As a result, the traditional workplace has gradually transformed with home offices and virtual workplaces where employees can hold meetings using video teleconferencing tools and communicate through email and other applications such as Slack (Montrief, et al., 2020). This makes the cloud more busy which brings up the need for improved cloud security.
Generally, in a public cloud, there exists a shared responsibility between the user and the Cloud Service Provider (CSP). Due to the rise of cyber-related crimes over the years, security for things like data classification, network controls and physical security need clear owners. The division of such responsibilities is called shared responsibility model for cloud security. “According to Amazon Web Services (AWS), security responsibility is shared by both CSP and CSC and they called it as Shared Security Responsible Model” (Kumar, Raj, & Jelciana, 2018). “While client and endpoint protection, identity and access management and application level controls are a shared responsibility the responsibility resides largely with the client organization” (Lane, Shrestha, & Ali, 2017). However, the responsibilities may vary depending on the cloud service provider and the cloud environment the user is using to operate. Nevertheless, despite the cloud services used, the burden of protecting data lays upon the user.
Normally, security is broken down into two broad categories: security of the cloud and security in the cloud. Security of the cloud is a section of the shared responsibility model handled by the cloud service provider. It comprises of hardware, host operating systems and physical security of the infrastructure. Most of these logistical challenges are offloaded when an organization moves its operations to the cloud. In contrast, security in the cloud is the security responsibility handled by the user. “The cloud service customer is responsible for securing and managing the applications that run in the cloud, the operating systems, data-at-rest, data-in-transit, policies and other responsibilities” (Bennett & Robertson, 2019). Since access to customer data remains the most critical component in cloud computing, it also determined the level of security in the cloud to be implemented by the customer.
The customer is responsible for the following components. First, the customer is responsible for data security. While the provider is responsible for automatically encrypting data in transit and in storage, the customer is expected to configure file system encryption and protection of network traffic. Secondly, the customer is responsible for physical security of computers and other devices used to access the cloud. Thirdly, the customer is responsible for application security. Security of manag.

Cloud security plays an important role in every field like business and personal world. With a large number of benefits it has some myths also. Cloud security is solely the cloud provider’s responsibility: a standard misconception is that the cloud provider automatically takes care of all the safety needs of the customer’s data and process while in the cloud. Password policies, release management for software patches, management of user roles, security training of staff, and data management policies are all responsibilities of the purchasers and a minimum of as critical because the security is done by the general public cloud provider. While users are hardening internal security, don’t assume that cloud provider backs up data and will be able to restore it just in case of a security breach. It is instrumental and important that users simply implement a backup solution that backs up data that's hosted on the cloud to an onsite backup or to a different cloud provider. In addition, in case of a security breach, user will get to restore data from backups. “There is indeed a good case to make for fair taxation and that uneven effective tax rates can distort competition and lead to smaller tax revenues” (Bauer, 2018).
Don’t get to manage the cloud: many people believe that since the cloud infrastructure is usually basically just a managed service, that the safety of the services is additionally managed. Many cloud based systems are left inadvertently unsecured because the customer doesn't know that they have to try to something to secure them, as they assume that the provider has done what an in-house staff would traditionally have done by default. Cloud security requires an equivalent discipline for security of any data center. Cloud data centers are as resilient as any, but the weakness comes if the policies, processes and tools aren’t regularly monitored by the IT operations staff responsible (Determann, 2016).
Ignore BYOD and be more secure: not supporting and implementing a BYOD policy does not mean an enterprise will be less at risk of a data breach, SVP of cloud and hosting sales. The BYOD movement is here to stay. Some experts recommend deploying a mobile content management (MCM) solution, as protecting the data will be what ultimately defines business’ security and compliance requirements. “Despite the Australian Federal Government's ‘cloud-first’ strategy and policies, and the Queensland State Government's ‘digital-first’ strategy, cloud services adoption at local government level has been limited—largely due to data security concerns” (Ali, Shrestha, Chatfield, & Murray, 2020). Cloud data isn’t saved on mobile devices: I still hear people speaking about cloud deployment as if using this service means users are not saving any enterprise data on mobile devices, which this might make device data protection a moot point.

They're Having Babies. Are We Helping?
By Patrick Welsh
The girls gather in small groups outside Alexandria's T.C. Williams High School most mornings, standing with their babies on their hips, talking and giggling like sorority sisters. Sometimes their mothers drop the kids (and their kids) off with a carefree smile and a wave. As I watch the girls carry their children into the Tiny Titans day-care center in our new $100 million building, I can't help wondering what Sister Mary Avelina, my 11th-grade English teacher, would have thought.
Okay, I'm an old guy from the 1950s, an era light-years from today. But even in these less censorious times, I'm amazed -- and concerned -- by the apparently nonchalant attitude both these girls and their mothers exhibit in front of teachers, administrators and hundreds of students each day. Last I heard, teen pregnancy is still a major concern in this country -- teenage mothers are less likely to finish school and more likely to live in poverty; their children are more likely to have difficulties in school and with the law; and on and on.
But none of that seems to register with these young women. In fact, "some girls seem to be really into it," says T.C. senior Mary Ball. "They are embracing their pregnancies." Nor is the sight of a pregnant classmate much of a surprise to the students at T.C. anymore. "When I was in middle school, I'd be shocked to see a pregnant eighth-grader," says Ball. "Now it seems so ordinary that we don't even talk about it."
Teenage pregnancy has been bright on American radar screens for the past year: TV teen starlet Jamie Lynn Spears's pregnancy caused a minor media storm last December. The pregnant-teen movie "Juno" won Oscar nods. And there was Bristol Palin, daughter of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, bringing the issue front and center d.

Three common approaches to understanding leading – traits, behaviors, and situational or contingency approaches - may or may not be effective in leading/managing a healthcare program. Briefly summarize each and its appropriateness for healthcare management.
Health Program Management (Longest, 2015)
“Leading effectively means influencing participants to make contributions that help accomplish the mission and objectives established for a program.” (Longest, 2015, p. 139)
Traits approach
“Based on the proposition that traits - encompassing skills, abilities, or characteristics - inherent in some people explain why they are more effective at leading than others.” (Longest, 2015, p. 140)
Kirkpatrick and Locke (1991, 48) stated, “Key leader traits include: drive (a broad term which includes achievement, motivation, ambition, energy, tenacity, and initiative); leadership, motivation (the desire to lead but not to seek power as an end in itself); honesty and integrity; self-confidence (which is associated with emotional stability); cognitive ability; and knowledge.” (as cited in Longest, 2015, p. 140)
Behaviors approach
“Traits cannot fully explain effectively leading, is based on the assumption that particular behaviors or sets of behaviors that make up a style of leading might be associated with success in leading.” (Longest, 2015, p. 140)
Planning, clarifying, monitoring, problem solving, supporting, recognizing, developing, empowering, advocating change, envisioning change, encouraging innovation, facilitating collective learning, networking, external monitoring, representing (Longest, 2015, p. 142)
Tannenbaum and Schmidt’s continuum of leader styles model: (Longest, 2015, p. 147)
Autocratic leaders - makes decisions and announces them to other participants
Consultative leaders - convince other participants of the correctness of a decision by carefully explaining the rationale for the decision and its effect on the other participants and on the program
Participative leaders - present tentative decisions that will be changed in other participants can make a convincing case for different decisions
Democratic leaders - define the limits of the situation and problem to be solved and permit other participants to make the decision
Laissez-faire leaders - permit other participants to have great discretion in decision making
“Leaders must adapt and change styles to fit different situations.” (Longest, 2015, p. 147)
“An autocratic style might be appropriate in certain clinical situations in programs where work frequently involves a high degree of urgency. But this style could be disastrous in other situations, such as when a manager must decide how to offer a new service in a program or improve communication with participants.” (Longest, 2015, p. 147)

Please read Patricia Benner's Five Stages of Proficiency. Explain the importance of this theory through a nurse's perspective. No references are required. Your summary should be at least 300 words using good spelling and grammar. Can be single or double spaced.
Attached Files:
Dr. Patricia Benner is a nursing theorist who first developed a model for the stages of clinical competence in her classic book “From Novice to Expert: Excellence and Power in Clinical Nursing Practice”. Her model is one of the most useful frameworks for assessing nurses’ needs at different stages of professional growth. She is the Chief Faculty Development Officer for Educating Nurses, the Director of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching National Nursing Education and honorary fellow of the Royal College of Nursing.
Dr. Benner was born in Hampton, Virginia, and received her bachelor’s degree in Nursing from Pasadena College in 1964, and later a master’s degree in Medical-Surgical Nursing from the University of California, Berkeley. After completing her doctorate in 1982, she became an Associate Professor in the Department of Physiological Nursing at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Benner is an internationally known lecturer and researcher on health, and her work has influenced areas of clinical practice as well as clinical ethics.
This nursing theory proposes that expert nurses develop skills and understanding of patient care over time through a proper educational background as well as a multitude of experiences. Dr. Benner’s theory is not focused on how to be a nurse, rather on how nurses acquire nursing knowledge – one could gain knowledge and skills (“knowing how”), without ever learning the theory (“knowing that”). She used the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition as a foundation for her work. The Dreyfus model, described by brothers Stuart and Hubert Dreyfus, is a model based on observations of chess players, Air Force pilots, army commanders and tank drivers. The Dreyfus brothers believed learning was experiential (learning through experience) as well as situation-based, and that a student had to pass through five very distinct stages in learning, from novice to expert.
Dr. Benner found similar parallels in nursing, where improved practice depended on experience and science, and developing those skills was a long and progressive process. She found when nurses engaged in various situations, and learned from them, they developed “skills of involvement” with patients and family. Her model has also been relevant for ethical development of nurses since perception of ethical issues is also dependent on the nurses’ level of expertise. This model has been applied to several disciplines beyond clinical nursing, and understanding the five stages of clinical competence helps nurses support one another and appreciate that expertise in any field is a process learned over time.

If the spinal cord is completely severed, then complete loss of function below the point if injury is expected (Ball, Dains, Flynn, Solomon & Stewart, 2015).
The nervous system is a group of nerves and neurons that transmit messages to different parts of the body. It is in charge of coordinating and controlling the body (Ball et al., 2015). The nervous system is divided into the central and the peripheral nervous system, further subdivided into autonomic, sympathetic and parasympathetic. The central nervous system is comprised of the brain. The peripheral nervous systems is comprised of the cranial and spinal nerves and the ascending and descending pathways (Ball et al., 2015). With all parts functioning properly the nervous system is able to receive and identify stimuli, control voluntary and involuntary body functions (Ball et al., 2015).
The three major units of the brain are the cerebrum, the cerebellum and the brainstem (Ball et al., 2015).
The difference between the ascending and descending tracts is that the ascending is sensory (afferent) because it delivers information to the brain and the descending tract delivers motor (efferent) information to the periphery (Ball et al., 2015)
The pituitary gland regulates metabolic processes and controls growth, lactation, and vasoconstriction through hormonal regulation (Ball et al., 2015).
The fourth cranial nerve is called trochlear and it is in charge of the downward and inward movement of the eye (Ball et al., 2015).
Risk factors for cerebrovascular accidents include hypertension, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, stress, high cholesterol/triglycerides/lipoproteins, congenital conditions and family history of cerebrovascular accidents (Ball et al., 2015).
The 5.07 monofilament test is used to test sensation in different parts of the foot in patients suffering from diabetes mellitus or peripheral neuropathy (Ball et al., 2015).
The 0 to 4+ scale is used to grade the response when testing the reflex. 0 indicates no response and 4+ indicates hyperactive reflex (Ball et al., 2015).

Moore Plumbing Supply Company
Capital Structure
Mort Moore founded Moore Plumbing Supply after returning from duty in the South Pacific during World War II. Before joining the armed forces, he had worked for a locally owned plumbing company and wanted to continue with that type of work once the war effort was over. Shortly after returning to his hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota, he became aware of an unprecedented construction boom. Returning soldiers needed new housing as they started families and readjusted to civilian life. Mort felt that he could make more money by providing plumbing supplies to contractors rather than performing the labor, and he decided to open a plumbing supply company. Mort’s parents died when he was young and was raised by his older brother, Stan, who ran a successful shoe business during the 1920’s. Stan often shared stories about owning his own business and in particular about a large expansion that was completed just before the market collapsed. Because of the economic times, Stan lost the business but was lucky to find employment with the railroad. He dutifully saved part of each paycheck and was so thankful that his brother returned home safely that he decided to use his sizable savings to help his brother open his business. Mort kept in mind his brother’s failed business and vowed that his company would operate in such a way that it would minimize its vulnerability of general business downturns.
Moore’s extensive inventory and reasonable prices made the company the primary supplier of the major commercial builders in the area. In addition, Mort developed a loyal customer base among the home repair person, as his previous background allowed him to provide excellent advice about specific projects and to solve unique problems. As a result, his business prospered and over the past twenty years, sales have grown faster than the industry. Because of the large orders, the company receives favorable prices from suppliers, allowing Moore Plumbing Supply to remain competitive with the discount houses that have sprung up in the area. Over the years, Mort has kept his pledge and the company has remained a very strong financial position. It had a public sale of stock and additional stock offers to fund expansions including regional supply outlets in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Sioux City, Iowa.
Recently, Stan decided that the winters were too long and he wanted to spend the coldest months playing golf in Florida. He retired from the day-to-day operations but retained the position of President and brought in his grandson, Tom Moore, to run the company as the new Chief Executive Officer. Tom was an excellent choice for the position. After graduating summa-cum-laud with a degree in communications from the University of Wisconsin, he worked in the Milwaukee operation where he was quickly promoted to manager. In ten years, sa.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

WEEK 1
Define advertising, and explain it through a banking-related
example
Advertisement in simple terms refers to the act of making
a notice or public announcement with the aim of promoting a
product, a job vacancy or a service (Stanton, 1984). It is done
through different forms of audiovisual communication such as
print, television and so on. In technical terms, the act of
advertisement can be described as a form of marketing
involving the sending of a non-personal message to the
consumer with the aim of selling an idea a product or a service
(Stanton, 1984).
Let’s say a bank wants to make its consumers aware of a
new mobile banking feature. The feature allows them to control
all their banking activities via a mobile phone app. The new
banking feature is not only to ensure its current customers stick
to the bank in question but also attract new ones. The bank
needs to advertise this feature to make the immediate public
aware. But awareness isn’t enough, it needs to make them
interested in what they have to offer, hence they will end up
using catchy words and phrases coupled with flashy graphics
with short slogans. This is what constitutes the process of
advertisement. Everything revolving around making an audience
aware or interested in a feature.
Define public relations, and explain it through a banking-related
example
According to Roos (2014), Public relations refer to all
activities that revolve around a certain company or organization
maintaining a preferred and favorable message in the eyes of
the public. Contrary to advertisement, public relations are
usually not marketing oriented hence it may resort to the
provision of free coverage to the clients (Roos, 2014)
Let’s take into account the banking scenario presented
2. above. A customer may be so impressed with the wide range of
features the banking app has to offer that he/she may write a
letter expressing how overwhelmed he or she is. The banks may
then call the customer and conduct an interview concerning the
app's features. The interview may be put on the newspaper as an
article. The customer may not be offered any form of payment,
but the publication of the interview will work very well in
portraying a good image of the bank to the consumers.
Compare and contrast these concepts as they relate to
marketing
Advertising and Public Relations are similar in that both seek to
raise public awareness for promotion purposes (Roos, 2014).
They are both communicated through a formal form of
communication such as print and television, and finally, they
are both done with the intent of gaining favorable coverage
from the immediate public (Roos, 2014).
Advertising, however, gives the company, individual or
organization complete control on the structure of the ad itself,
such as the message, graphics and so on (Stanton, 1984). Public
relations give limited control. Advertisement is also centered to
the promotion of a specific product while public relations
involve the promotion of the overall brand.
Illustrate how these are components of the overall marketing
mix.
According to Stanton (1984), advertisement initiates control.
Since you pay for slots in the various forms of media, you can
greatly manipulate the time, setting, message and overall gist of
your ad. You can also specify the geographic location and time
in which the ad will air. Advertisement is also a basis for brand
promotion.
Public relations work to ensure the audience has nothing but
positive remarks toward the company in question. This goes
hand in hand with marketing because no one is likely to acquire
a product from a negatively reviewed company.

Part 2 of week 1
Advertising and Public Relation-based Objectives
Every Organization needs to have objectives for their
advertising and public relations. The objectives should be
aligned to the overall strategic goal of the organization. They
must be specific, measurable achievable, relevant, and time-
bound. Banks operate in the service industry. The perception of
customers towards them is therefore very important. The
objectives should, therefore, be tied to control the perceptions
of the customers towards the company. This paper will explore
the various SMART objectives that the bank’s advertising and
public relations campaign can have.
Objectives
Growing the Number of Customers
The overall objective of the bank is increasing their sales over
time and raising the loyalty level of their customers. To
increase the revenues, the bank needs to increase the number of
their clients. They need to have a bigger market share in the
banking industry. The bank will then increase the services that
one customer can subscribe to. By increasing the number of
products that a customer can get from the bank apart from just
account maintenance, it will be able to increase their revenue by
offering such services. The advertising and public relations
campaigns are basically required to increase the firm’s revenue
(Jugenheimer, et.al, 2014). The advertising messages should be
able to draw contrast from the current banker of a customer in
order to attract them. By selling what they are selling better
than the current banker, the customers will be convinced to
change from their current banking services provider to the new
bank.
The advertising message should also target individuals who
4. currently do not have a banker. This will require the bank to
carry out public relations exercises where they educate the
population on the importance of having a bank account. The
target population may subscribe to the services of the bank if it
is able to demonstrate concern and care of their financial status
and stability. This population has the benefit of having the
likelihood to be loyal customers and stick to its services for a
very long tome
Creating a Positive Corporate Image
The second advertising and public relations objective is
promoting a positive image for the company. As a financial
institution, the bank has the fiduciary duty of safeguarding their
customers’ interest by prudently managing the funds they
deposit in their accounts. The bank needs to gain the customers
trust. This will help them safeguard their market share through
customer retention (Morris, et.al, 2013). The advertising
messages should emphasize on the corporate governance efforts
that the bank has in place. They should inform their external
stakeholders on the openness of their financial records and how
they can obtain them. In case the bank has received a reward or
recognition for proper management, they should quote it in their
advertising messages.
A positive image has numerous advantages in addition to
attracting customers. The company can also promote positive
image to attract investors and also raise its shares demand
(Jefkins, 2016). This will be essential when the company is
selling its shares for the first time or when it needs to raise its
current share market price. The current shareholders will gain
from the increased price and they will earn capital gains
through the disposal of current holdings. Having a positive
image will also help the bank to attract the best staff in the
market. This can be achieved by selling the company as one
with good employee benefits and one that offers the chance to
advance the career of their employees. A good and positive
corporate image also helps the company to avoid strictness from
regulators in the industry. A company with good reputation is
5. less likely to be subjected to high levels of scrutiny.
Informing and Reminding Clients of their Services
Another objective is to inform n remind customers about the
banking services and the benefits of having an account with the
bank. The fast evolving technology has enabled the banks to
improve their services on a continual basis. New products and
new services are introduced every day. Advertising and public
relations are the best platform to make their existing and new
customers aware of the services (Morris, et.al, 2013). The
competitors within the industry are likely to offer similar
services. This increase the level of substitution, it is upon the
bank to inform their customer the uniqueness of their services
that differentiates it from other banks.
The firm should also carry out the campaign with the aim of
reminding their customers the existence of a service and the
commitment of the bank to continue offering the service to
them. By reminding them of the services, the bank will be able
to retain its customers and protect its market share in the
industry. This will in turn protect their revenues.
Finally, advertisement and public relations campaigns are
important to inform stakeholders of any efforts that are meant to
make the society in which it operate in a better place
(Jugenheimer, et.al, 2014). The company can use these
campaigns to inform the stakeholders of the existence of a given
charity or social responsibility activity. They should also be
used to explain the impact of their CSR activities or charity
work on the lives of the community. This will foster a good
public image and the society will in turn make the operational
environment conducive for the firm. They will be passionate
about the bank and they will be willing to be associated with it.
Branding and Positioning the Company
Another aim of public relations campaign is to brand the
company and position itself among a given group of people in
the society. According to Jefkins (2016), each advertising
6. messages has the intended target audience. This depends on the
nature of the information and the channel used to communicate
it. If the bank targets corporate clients, it should approach
managers of the target companies by visiting them in their
offices or approaching them in high profile events and selling
the bank services directly to them. The other customer segment
can be reached via the mass media. The bank needs to ensure
they use the channel that has the greatest impact on their target
customer.
Through the marketing strategies, the company will also make
itself visible to the customers (Jugenheimer, et.al, 2014). If the
bank has a positive reputation, this makes it very easy to sell
new services to the customers. Well known institutions will also
get free advertising through the frequent mention by people, the
media and also through online discussion on social media
platforms.
Importance of using specific objectives
Using specific objectives to meet organizational goals is import.
It enables the firm to realize its goals in real-time. They also
give the company a vision through which they work towards
achieving. Being measurable will ensure that the firm is able to
assess the impact that the goals have on the company.
Measurable goals are also easy to monitor.
Conclusion
A firm can gain a lot from advertising and public relations
campaigns. The strategic goal of the company is to increase its
revenues and its profitability. The objectives of these campaigns
must align to this goal. For the bank, its profitability and
increase in revenues can be achieved by increasing the number
of clients and retaining them. Other objectives include
branding, positioning, and creating a positive image of the firm.

Week 2 part 1
When we talk of Demographic we refer to the study of
population basing the study on several factors like age sex,
economic status, nationality, employment, education and race
among others. For a business to succeed on a new business it is
important to understand the people in the market. Failure to do
so may lead to loss as you may introduce a product which is not
suitable for the target population. This means that the business
will be operating at a loss since you are selling products which
cannot be used by the population. When you understand the
demographics of the people, you will be able to decide which
market is good for your products. Without understanding the
target market you will fail in your business.
Psychographics means studying the personality values,
opinions, lifestyle and altitudes. This also helps in
understanding how the people in the target market behave.
Without understanding their lifestyles, it is hard to introduce a
new product.
Market segmentation involves dividing the target market into
small subset which include, countries, business and consumers
who have the same interests. When you have these subsets, it is
easy to have several strategies which could work for a particular
segment of the target market. When you understand this, the
market is divided into several segmentations.
Potential target market
For this part, I have chosen banking to illustrate the points.
When a bank has opened a new branch, and has been operating
for some time but not making enough profit, the first potential
market is the non-customers. These are the people who are not
using the bank and probably banking with others. Another
potential market is the people with low income. This group can
make the bank good money if it focuses on learning what they
like. The bank should do a research on their age and education
8. of this group. They can target the young population who may
have future earning potential. They should also analyze their
Psychographics and understand their lifestyles and how they
perceive things.
The best segmentation they can work with is the young people.
They can come up with products which favor the young
generation. This will mean that if the grow with the bank, when
they reach their high earning points, they will stick with the
bank. This is a long term process and these will be customers
for a long time.

Week 2 part 2
Comparing the Current and New Target Market
The current market
The current market segment includes low value customers.
These customers have limited income and they also have a
limited need for the financial services and products that
company offers. This market segment contributes very little
profitability to the institution. This has created the need to look
for a new target market. The current market is also comprised of
customers who choose to deposit only part of their savings in
our bank. They distribute their total savings across many banks
including ours. This market segment also contributes low profit
to the bank. However, there is a potential of winning them and
ensuring they save with the bank. Finally, our current market
also consists of medium-value customers. These include
individuals who carry out most of their business with the bank.
However, they may take their financial business to other banks
in case they are offered special offers. This market is easy to
retain by offering competitive offers and deals in the market.
The New Target Market
The new target market for the bank includes non-customers and
high value-customers. Non-customers include the populations
that do not own a bank account with any financial institution.
They also include customers who get their services from
9. competitive banks and also young population who do not have
any banking relationship yet. This target customer base is
important for the bank. They will help the bank increase its
customer base as the new customer increase their value with
time. To gain non-customers getting services from other banks,
we will need special deals and offers depending on their needs.
Young customers will be targeted using school savings
programs. They are important as they may be long-term loyal
customers. High value customers include individuals with large
deposits. This target market also comprise of those with huge
loan’s needs. We target this category as they are the basis of the
on-going profitability of the bank. This target market is
important as its profit contribution is very high.
Key Message to deliver to the New Target Market
To target the new market, the bank needs to assess the needs for
each category and design a message that suits their needs
(Hollensen, 2015). The first target market is non-customers.
This market is also subdivided into those who do not own a
bank account, those getting services from other banks and the
young population without a bank yet. The message for those
without a bank account will focus on the importance of having a
savings bank account. This will be followed with additional
benefits such as an opportunity to get a loan based on the
savings and earning interest from their savings. The message
will be “Do you own a savings account? Get one from our bank
and you could get instant loans. You will also earn interest on
your savings.”
The message for those getting services form our competitors the
message will focus on special deals and offers such as reduced
interest rates on loans and quick access to their money and
loans.an ideal message would be “ Are you tired of huge
interest loans? We offer loans at an affordable rate because we
care for your financial need.”
To the young population, the message will include a savings
program that will win them a trip for saving at the bank. An
ideal message is “Open a savings account with our bank and
10. stand a chance to visit different places around the world.” For
the high-value customers, the message will focus on high
quality service and relationship with the bank. This includes
direct transfers, fast processing of checks and instant access to
their accounts. An ideal message would be “We value our
relationship with our clients. Enjoy instant online access to your
bank account.”
Why the message will appeal to the target market
The message will have a direct impact on the target market. The
message is designed to attract the customer and retain him or
her as a loyal customer. They are designed to suit the needs for
each category of the target market to win their heart and
convince them to have an account with the bank (Russel, et.al,
2014). In the case of high-value customers, the message focuses
on building a good and efficient relationship. If they are
convinced that they will experience fast processing of their
checks and instant access to their accounts, they are likely to
maintain their accounts at our bank and end up being our loyal
customers.
Digital or Traditional Approach to promotional channels
The best approach to promotional channels for the bank is an
integrated approach whereby both digital and traditional
approaches are used. The bank will use traditional promotional
channels such as the TV, the radio, flyers and billboards and
also digital promotional channels such as YouTube, Facebook
and Twitter. The traditional promotional channels will help us
to easily reach the local audience. The TV commercial is likely
to be viewed by 75% of the local audience. The digital channels
will help us reach both the local and the international audience
(Ryan, 2016). Additionally, the bank will also be able to
interact with the audience through the social media networks.
Interaction is important as it will give us a platform to answer
questions from the target market and also their feedback.
Communication Channels to reach the target market
The two main communication channels to be used include TV
11. adverts and Facebook posts. The bank will design an appealing
advertisement that will air on the local television channel. The
message will be easy to understand and it will focus on the
needs of the target market (Fill & Turnbull, 2016). This will
enable us to reach most of our local target market. The
Facebook page will help us reach the international market.
Many people are also on social media and by posting our
promotional message on our Facebook page, we will be able
reach our target customers. We will also be able to interact with
the potential customers through responding to their questions
and reading their feedback.

Week 3 part 1
Unit discussion performing a Situation Analysis
The Sunny Valley Bank has expanded throughout the region
with over fifty branches, and this has been a major driver
towards their success. By virtue of it being a local bank, has
enabled them to be friendly and truly apprehensive with their
clients
SWOT Analysis is a helpful method for understanding your
Weaknesses, and Strengths and for recognizing both the
Opportunities accessible to an individual and the Threats you
encounter. The Sun Valley Bank has employed a SWOT analysis
12. as a helpful procedure for understanding the bank’s weaknesses
and strengths and for finding the chances open to the bank and
the dangers they are likely to encounter
STRENGHTS
The bank boast of several strengths which has enabled it attain a
substantial growth for the last several decades opening over 50
branches across the region. The convenience of branches is a
major strength. Customers are able to access the bank’s
branches with convenience and ease. The other major strength
that the bank enjoys over its competitors is its smallness and
closeness. The bank is close to its customers and they view it as
customer friendly bank. They spread the bank’s friendly service
through word of mouth and this has enabled the bank to attract
and retain a significant number of its customers in different
across the region where the bank has opened up branches. The
bank is viewed by customers as a “local bank” and which make
it friendly and truly apprehensive with their clients.
WEAKNESS
The Sunny Valley Bank has encountered some weaknesses in its
operation. The bank has limited range of products. The bank has
been unable to increase its range of product and this makes it
lack a competitive advantage over the other banks that have a
wide range of products to its customers. For instance, the bank
lack credit card which is a vital product in banking industry in
recent years. The other weakness the bank is experiencing is
change in technology. The bank has been unable to keep abreast
with the latest technological changes mainly affecting the
banking sector. This has seen it loose on some significant
number of clients who want to advance their banking service
using technology. For instance, the use of mobile banking,
ATMs and internet banking so that the customers do not
necessarily have to go to a banking hall has seen the bank loose
since earlier branches were considered strengths but with these
changes they have been rendered a weakness, i.e. the cost of
13. running these branches and paying staff.
OPPORTUNITY
The opportunity section of the bank should identify areas where
the bank still contains room for growth and which the bank can
take advantage of in the marketplace. These particular areas
ripe for the bank’s development should be external components
contemplative of the present business environment. These
opportunities include paying much focus and positioning itself
as a local bank, utilizing the local retailers to assist gain an
increase in the market share, introducing programs geared
towards customer relations including employing of personal
bankers. The bank also needs to utilize some corporate culture
such as selling is assisting the customer, the bank also needs to
work harder on their existing client base.
THREAT
The threat component in Sunny Valley bank SWOT analysis
needs to list areas where the bank has the likely of declining or
be affected by other factors in the market environment. These
particular factors need to be external components reflecting the
current business environment. The Sunny Valley Bank is faced
with various threats from the market. The emergence of loan
brokers who target profitable loan firms and business like
Citibank has made the bank to find itself in a strategy mess. The
emergence of new competitors in the market offering similar
and enhanced products is also another threat to the bank.

14. Week 3 part 2
Introduction
The bank needs to develop a branding strategy that is
appropriate to appeal its target market. The company has
identified new customers who have no bank accounts, who have
bank accounts with other banks and young college students
looking for bank accounts, the company also targets those who
maintain bank accounts with a lot of money.
Branding strategy
The company will brand itself in a simple way. Simple and clear
marketing messages will be sent to the target market. The
messages will aim at explain to the potential clients the exact
services they will expect from the bank. The bank will prepare a
unique value proposition to help it identify its objectives during
the new strategy. The bank will attain simplicity by
implementing strategies that the customers can easily identify
with. The new customers will be informed on the importance of
saving and having a bank account. Those with bank accounts
with the competitors will be informed on the added advantages
of the bank over its competitors. Young potential clients will be
informed of the benefits they will get for opening an account
with the bank. Finally, customers with high income and those
saving a lot of money will be informed on the benefits in terms
of easy accessibility of their money and other services they can
enjoy from the bank.
Strategies to support the position statement
To support the position statement, the bank will run real life
stories of different successful clients who benefited from the
banking services offered by the bank. As the bank grows, these
stories will be beneficial and capable of influencing customers
to open an account in the bank (O'guinn, et.al, 2013). The
15. stories must be real in order to honestly inspire the target
customers. The aim of the success stories is to show the
advantages of services offered by the bank and the importance
of financial institutions in general.
The bank should also establish a platform where it can interact
with its existing clients and potential clients. The existing
clients will be able to give their reviews on the platform or ask
questions that will be answered. The potential clients will see
this and they will be influenced to get a bank account with the
financial institution. This platform should also be educative and
explain the advantages of having a savings account and also
offer information that may influence the investment decisions of
various individuals. When customer gain wealth, their financial
services will increase and this will also benefit the bank.
The position statement can also be improved using gifts and
give-aways (O'guinn, et.al, 2013). The bank should reward its
loyal customers to make them even more loyal and also refer
friends and other people to the bank. This will be an appropriate
strategy since banks are associated with strict control of their
money. This will enable the bank to differentiate itself from the
competitors and this will improve its position statement.
Marketing Channels
Branding requires a company to make it as visible as possible to
its clients (Aaker & Biel, 2013). Considering the huge target
market of the bank, mass media advertising will be the best
marketing channel. The simple messages for the clients will be
sent through this channel so that it reaches many people at the
same time. The advertisements should be communicated through
popular local television networks and be run during breaks of
popular programs when most clients are tuned on.
To complement mass media advertisements, the company should
also include some form of written messages. This will include
printing brochures and distributing them to the target markets.
The bank can also set up branded tent where it can meet face to
face with the target market and convince them to have an
account with the bank. Finally, we cannot leave out social
16. media. 80% of the population has access to the social media
especially Facebook accounts (Young, 2014). The bank can
create a Facebook page and invite people to like. It can use this
platform to sell its services and also interact with the clients.
Why the strategies are appropriate
The banking sector is open to anyone earning or capable of
maintaining a bank account. Anyone who deals with money will
have the need to having a banking account. The target market is
also diverse and not limited by factors such as gender, race, age
or any other factor. The advertising and public relations
strategies should therefore aim at reaching a very huge number
of people and at the same time communicate simple and clear
message. When the messages are clear, the target market will be
able to understand the services and benefits offered by the bank
in a clear way and hence the ability to influence their decisions
easily. To reach this target market, the bank should also
consider marketing channels that will reach many people. The
mass media advertisements are capable of reaching very large
number of potential clients since almost everyone will tune on
to watch the television every day (Aaker & Biel, 2013). The
social media provides an interactive platform and it is also
capable of reaching very huge number of clients. The strategies
are therefore appropriate for the bank. They are aligned to
bank’s objectives and they help it achieve them.
Conclusion
Branding is a very important component of a marketing
campaign of any company. This is because it enables the firm to
present itself to the target market and sell its services in a more
visible manner. Through branding, an organization will also be
able to control its customer’s perception on its services. The
bank appeals to its target market by sending messages that will
appeal to their needs. The organization should also use give-
aways to appeal to t clients. The bank uses the mass media
advertising, brochures and the social media platforms to interact
and sell its services to the clients. These channels are extremely
important because of their ability to reach a diverse population.
