Discuss one (1) project where you used a problem-solving approach to address what turned out to be common-cause variation, or where you used a process improvement approach to deal with a special cause.

If you do not have a personal experience that echoes either of these situations, you may use the Internet to search for a case that reflects either of these situations.

Examples:

• one’s personal investment strategy since 2008
• reducing waiting times at the local hospital or emergency room
• reducing difficulties trying to connect to a Wi-Fi Internet provider

 Answer the following questions in the space provided below:

1. Describe the experience in the project.
2. What were the solutions used to address the problem?
3. Was the case you described a special-cause or common-cause?
4. Do you feel the solution or approach used appropriate for the cause?
5. What would you do if you could do it again?
6. What conclusions can you draw from the problem-solving or process-improvement techniques?

Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment. In your original work, you may use aspects of existing processes from either your current or a former place of employment. However, you must remove any and all identifying information that would enable someone to discern the organization(s) that you have used.

Standard of Care: Healthcare Quality.

Objective:

Health care is like any other service; some providers are better than others. Quality of care is of critical interest to patients; their health, even their lives, can be at stake. They need and deserve to know. Doctors want to know too.

Measuring health care quality is complex. As a medical discipline, it is still in the pioneering phase. Some professional health groups are already doing it.

Organizations of insurers and health care providers have joined forces to create standards and measures for health care quality. Organizations involved include:

AQA (formerly the Ambulatory Quality Care Alliance), which has steering committees focused on performance measurement, data aggregation and reporting.

Hospital Quality Alliance (HQA), a reporting initiative providing information on the quality of care in hospitals.

Quality Alliance Steering Committee, a new national committee that combines the efforts of AQA and HQA to expand on them

(Use the business you created in assignment 1)

For the first 6 months your company is in business—to give you time to perfect your product and to learn from actual customers—you will start marketing and selling in your own community, a radius of 25 miles from where you live.

For most non-alcoholic beverages, marketing (as opposed to the actual product itself) is key to success. Cola drinks, for example, are fairly undifferentiated, as are many energy drinks, juices, bottled water, and the like. Companies producing these types of beverages differentiate themselves and attract market share through marketing and brand awareness—both of which are critical to success.

Section 1: Marketing Plan and Sales Strategy (MS Word or equivalent)

Write the 5-page marketing plan and sales strategy section of your business plan in which you do the following:

1. Define your company’s target market.

1. Analyze the types of       consumers who will be drinking your beverage in demographic terms (i.e.,       age, education level, income, gender, ethnic group, etc.). Outline the       demographic information for your company specified on the worksheet in       the course text (p. 107 | Demographic Description).
2. Support your analysis       with actual data on the size of the demographic groups in your local       community (nearby zip codes).

o Hints: At American FactFinder (http://factfinder.census.gov), you will find demographic information on potential consumers in your area. If you are selling through other businesses (such as grocery stores), indicate the number of those businesses in your local area. You will find information about such businesses in your local area at County Business Patterns (http://www.census.gov/econ/cbp/). 

2. Assess your company’s market competition.

1. Use the factors listed in       the course text graphic (p. 123 | Assess the Competition) to       assess your company’s market competition.
2. Defend your plan to       differentiate yourself from the competition using the information       detailed on the worksheet in the text (p. 131 | Market Share       Distribution).

o Hints: Every business faces competition, and the non-alcoholic beverage market is an especially crowded market.

o Hints: For example, in the soft drink market, it is intimidating to try to compete against Coke and Pepsi. Newcomers in mature markets typically must pursue niche markets or even create new market categories, as Red Bull did with energy drinks. 

3. Clarify your company’s message using the information provided on the worksheet in the text (p. 160 | The Five F’s). Create a marketing slogan/tagline for your product.

·  

• Hints: Before you choose your marketing vehicles, you must        determine the message you want to convey through those vehicles.

4. Identify the marketing vehicles you plan to use to build your company’s brand. Justify the key reasons why they will be effective.

o Hints: If you plan to use online marketing tactics, refer to the worksheet in the text (p. 171 | Online Marketing Tactics) to aid your response. Remember that even if you’re selling through grocery stores, you need to build your brand and social media is a major part of that in regard to beverages. Some of the marketing tactics that beverage companies use include sampling in grocery stores, building a following on social media, sponsoring events, and exhibiting at trade shows attended by retailers. You will use a combination of these tactics. For example, if you decide to give out samples in grocery stores, promote your sampling on your social media networks and those of the grocery store.

o Hints: If you are planning to distribute through resellers, describe how you plan to reach them, for example, through industry trade shows or by establishing your own sales force. For information on trade shows, visit the Trade Show News Network (http://www.tsnn.com). You can exhibit or network at these shows.

5. Format your assignment according to these formatting requirements:

a. Cite the resources you have used to complete the exercise. Note: There is no minimum requirement for the number of resources used in the exercise.

b. The paper must be typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with 1-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

c. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required page length.

This assignment is aligned to these course outcomes:

• Explain economic principles and their applications in the real world.
• Summarize the different types of market structures and the role of government in economics.

In the workplace, we are often asked to create “briefs.” A brief provides a snapshot, or short, written summary, of a situation or event that has occurred. It is generally just a few pages long and may include additional visuals like a graph, chart, or table. In this assignment, write a brief about economic concepts in an industry that interests you.

An example economic brief, template, and resources are provided below.

Example Economic Brief, Assignment 1 Template, Strayer Writing Standards (SWS) 

1. Review an example brief.
2. Use the optional template to help you get started.
3. Get familiar with the Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). (See Instructions below.)

Industry Selection 

Use this resource to select an industry and learn about the products and services it provides:

• NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) 
  • Select the number next to the industry to see its subsectors, e.g., select 52 to see Finance and Insurance.
  • Select that same number again to read about the industry as a whole or select a sub-category. For example, Mining is 21, and Oil and Gas Extraction, a sub-category, is 211.

Instructions

Review your previous chapter readings and use the resource above to develop an economic brief that is two to three (2-3) pages long in which you:

1. Select an industry and describe the goods and/or services this industry produces. Use the NAICS resource above to help you select an industry (and/or subsector) for your brief. 
2. Identify this industry’s market structure and at least two or more market characteristics that support this market structure. (Market structures are covered in Weeks 3 and 4.) 
3. Describe any notable microeconomic relationships, market outcomes, and/or trends in this industry. Include a graph, chart, or table containing related data. (Microeconomic relationships and market outcomes are covered in Weeks 2 through 4.) 
4. How might government impact this industry’s market prices, output, and/or market structure? (Government intervention through price controls, industry regulations, and antitrust enforcement is covered in Weeks 2 and 4.) 
5. This course requires use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different compared to other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details. (Note: You’ll be prompted to enter your Blackboard login credentials to view these standards.)
   • Your brief should include a cover page. 
   • Your brief should be two to three (2-3) pages in length (not including the cover page), double-spaced, 12-point font.
