address the items pertaining to the promotion and pricing strategy for the company’s new products in line with the company founders’ values and their social responsibility.
Unit 9 and 10 Assignment
Promotion and pricing of a product
or service involve consideration of the strategies as well as how the
strategies will be carried out, in line with the organization’s values. You
have read about promotion and pricing (two of the 4 P’s of the marketing mix)
and had an opportunity to review the 4 P’s tutorial. You read about ethics and social responsibility in Chapter
3 and discussed these topics in the discussion. In this assignment, you will
apply these concepts to a real-world company scenario. In addition, you will
add audio to your presentation that speaks to the audience specified in the
scenario. Being able to prepare a professional audiovisual presentation is an
important career skill and can be added to your resume once you have become
proficient.
Read the scenario below and address
all the checklist items.
Scenario:
A startup company, Korwin
Pharmaceuticals is a U.S. pharmaceutical products firm that is growing very
rapidly at home and abroad. Integrity and honesty regarding product quality and
concern for consumer well-being are values of the founders of the firm.
Recently Korwin Pharmaceuticals
developed several new products to service customers who cannot afford the
pricier life-saving anti-allergen medications and the self-injecting devices
currently on the market. These products can be self-injected by the person
suffering from a life-threatening allergic reaction and were just recently
approved for the marketplace by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
To respond to the projected rapid
growth of the firm, they are going to hire an additional 100 employees in the
next 2 months to cope with the demand for these new life-saving products.
Because the company is hiring so many new employees, they are concerned with
maintaining the founders’ original values of social responsibility while
ensuring a quality product.
They are also concerned with
promoting and pricing these new products fairly, based on the company values
along with their concern for affordability for the middle class in the U.S. and
other consumers and client companies abroad.
As a marketing consultant to the
president of the company and executive management, address the items pertaining
to the promotion and pricing strategy for the company’s new products in line
with the company founders’ values and their social responsibility.
Checklist
Specify what code of conduct the company should
institute to make sure that all personnel adhere to the founders’ values
in promoting and pricing the product at home and abroad.
Provide an advertising campaign (using pioneering,
competitive, or comparative advertising) for this line of life-threatening
anti-allergen medications and self-injecting devices, using three (3)
different types of advertising.
Provide a public relations strategy to promote the new
product line while considering the social responsibility involved.
Prepare one (1) tool each for consumer
sales promotion, personal selling, and social media.
Describe how the AIDA concept stages are to be addressed.
Explain three (3) possible pricing strategies and any
discounts, rebates, trade discounts, and/or allowances that would apply
for this new line of life-saving products.
Explain how you will determine a profit has been
realized based on your pricing objectives.
Your PowerPoint presentation should
use Standard English to address the above checklist items and include audio
notes below each slide that are clear and concise. There should be no more than
one (1) or two (2) short citations with accompanying references in the
presentation. Each slide should have no more than four (4) or five (5) bulleted
talking points, with the accompanying audio notes located below each slide.
For the audio portion, use the
microphone built into your computer or a microphone headset you purchased. Make
sure that the audio portion is clear, speaks to the slides’ bulleted points,
and addresses the specific audience for which it is intended.
Submit the minimum 10-slide PowerPoint presentation with
clear audio and audio notes below each slide and additional title and
reference slides (using APA citation and reference style)
Music as motivation to running/working out.
You are to choose an applied setting and a specific form of motivation that can be altered through various intervention techniques (e.g., school and achievement, addiction rehab programs, athletics and sports). The paper (2,000 words in length excluding words from the title and reference pages) should focus on how you use motivational strategies to achieve your goals and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the various techniques you adopt. You also need to consider any ethical concerns that may arise in the process. Your paper should reference the textbook and at least 10 peer-reviewed research articles as sources of information.

Female Genital Alteration/Female Circumcision/Female Genital Mutilation
Please review the two short video clips, the two slide PowerPoint presentation, and the brief webmd description of vaginoplasty and Labiaplasty below. The PP describes the various types/classifications of female alteration as well as the negative impacts of the practice listed by The World Health Organization (WHO). The first video is an interview with Fuambai Ahmadu an anthropologist who elected to undergo the type one A procedure as an adult. The interview was conducted by Fox News’ Tucker Carlson and is definitely combative at points, but she more or less is able to get her point across. The second is a much more nuanced interview with Dr. Ahmadu and activist Nimco Ali on HARDtalk. After reviewing the PP, watching the videos and reviewing what you textbook has to say about male circumcision in chapter 4, consider the following questions in a reflection of at least one typed double spaced page. I am primarily asking these questions in the context of the type one A classification given that the vast majority of the instances of female cutting fall into this category, but feel free to address your thoughts about other versions of the procedure as well.
1. Is this a “valid” cultural practice or a human rights violation? Why do you think/feel the way that you do? Who should decide whether or not this is a valid practice?
2. Are you thoughts about female alteration the same or different from your thoughts about male alteration (circumcision)? If you see them differently, why? If you view them similarly, why? keep in mind that most circumcisions are also performed with little or no anesthesia and typically involve pain and sometimes (though less frequently) result in complications as well.
3. Most women who elect to have this procedure done on their daughters are doing so to have their daughters conform to norms/standards of beauty within their culture/communities. What are your thoughts about the alterations that The WHO condemns versus labiaplasty and vaginoplasty which are completely legal? Are there similarities between them? Are they not comparable at all?
4. FGA/FGM/FGA is now illegal in most of the countries where it is practiced and yet criminalizing the practice seems to have done very little to decrease occurrence rates. If you believe that this is a practice that should not continue, do you have any thoughts about ways to decrease it since criminalization does not seem to work?
the videos to watch are on youtube called HARDtalk Female Genital Mutilation Discussionand Advocate female genital Mutilation and look up information about what say about male circumcision to answer the questions
