Coverage by of the news is not carried out by any monolithic organization that gets to decide what is, and is not, the correct way to report the news. Today perhaps more than ever, the editorial or opinion piece of the news is more apparent and widespread than it had been in the decades before cable news, 24-hour-news cycles, and the rise of the Internet as a news source. This does not necessarily mean that the news has become any less impartial, simply that news organizations are more conscious of markets and demographics, the people they are trying to attract, than ever before.

For your assignment, find two articles that address the same issue produced by two different news sources (this cannot be the same AP story published by different sources). In a 2 page paper, provide a summary of what message each writer is trying to get across, and provide a brief compare and contrast analysis of the two pieces. Explain which piece you feel is more effective and why. Be sure to include links for each article in your assignment.

Please no Plagiarism.

Following your boss’s instructions, you went to your workspace and started thinking. As you pondered the tricky task ahead, you identified some elements that you considered essential to demonstrate as part of your portfolio submission: How technology can aid in repurposing everyday items.

/in /by

Competency

Assess the historical impact of art on modern culture, society, and the workplace.

Instructions

As a team leader in the Creative Department, you run bi-monthly strategy and brainstorming sessions with all agency employees. Your boss sat in on the last session and expressed mild disappointment in the general lack of groundbreaking innovation by the team (though you still managed to shine individually). Consequently, your boss has directed all agency employees to complete a unique exercise in creative thinking.

Your boss presented it this way: “All employees must submit an electronic portfolio of photographs and explanations.” When the team expressed confusion, he clarified this way: “There should be a significant number of photographs in your portfolio, and the photographs should be of your real workplace items.” As final enlightenment, he offered the following: “Placing workplace items into unique environments and arrangements will prompt you to reconsider and repurpose the familiar and mundane.”

Following your boss’s instructions, you went to your workspace and started thinking. As you pondered the tricky task ahead, you identified some elements that you considered essential to demonstrate as part of your portfolio submission:

  • How technology can aid in repurposing everyday items.
  • How innovative repurposings can solve problems in the workplace.
  • How everyday items can be repurposed as forms of logos or branding.
  • How Apollonian and Dionysian perspectives can expand creativity in the repurposing of everyday items.

With those elements in mind, you feel ready to get to work. As you pull out your camera, you remind yourself that explanations are a key part of this project. With clever pictures and clear analysis, you can be sure that your submission will reflect your guiding principle: My portfolio should reveal plainly that I gave real thought and consideration to how workplace items can be refashioned into something different or better. You believe that everyone has natural creativity, and you’re excited to tap into yours for this endeavor.

What obstacles might you encounter and what marketing strategies might work to ensure that you best position a product or service in the minds of the decision makers and buying center?T

Marketing in a Complex Environment: Who Needs To Be in the Buying Center?Today, many business-to-business (B2B) organizations are marketing their products to companies and organizations where the “buyer” is not a single individual. Instead, there may be a variety of people or stakeholders including product users, a buyer (e.g., from the purchasing department), a specifier (e.g., an engineer), and many others. In such instances, the seller must assume who might be involved in purchase decision making without any knowledge or certainty. In the course text, Perreault, Cannon, and McCarthy define the concept of the buying center as “all the people who participate in or influence a purchase” (2013, p. 148).For this Discussion, imagine that you are the marketing manager for an organization. Choose one of the scenarios below and consider who (job type or title) you would expect to be a part of the buying center and if outside consultants should be involved.A local school system is seeking to upgrade its computer systems for its middle school classrooms. This means new hardware and software for every classroom. It may also require new classroom configurations, desks, lighting, additional electrical service, and cable or T1 data support. Who is likely to be included in the purchasing decision?General Aerotechnologies (GA), a large-scale manufacturer of small unmanned aircraft with government and commercial contracts, is updating its security services for its manufacturing facilities in the southern United States. The security service would be responsible for the physical security of the premises as well as cybersecurity for all systems used by GA. Who is likely to be involved in the purchasing decision?In 2007, Federal Executive Order 13423 and subsequent revisions required acquisition of recycled content, energy efficient, bio-based, and environmentally preferable products and services. The order directs U.S. federal agencies to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gases in buildings and transportation by 50% by 2020. Your company manufactures automotive engine fuel systems that can help meet these goals. Who in the automotive manufacturing companies would you expect to be involved in the buying center for your products?Post by Day 3 the scenario you chose and your response to the following:Identify the scenario you selected.Provide a list of stakeholders (e.g., person, department representative) who have influence on buying center decision making and why. Explain the types of influence each person (e.g., person acting individually) might have on the decision and why. As the marketing manager for the company hoping to win the business, how would you advise reaching the decision makers to promote your product or service? What obstacles might you encounter and what marketing strategies might work to ensure that you best position a product or service in the minds of the decision makers and buying center?T

Overview

Review the Strayer University website to find an opportunity to write a FAQ that does not exist but would be useful to an intended audience. Your assignment must be focused on providing a new resource that is focused toward a Strayer University audience such as current, future, or past students. Some examples of an area of interest appropriate for one or more of these audiences could be:

  • Campus-specific information.
  • Graduation requirements.
  • Online student services.
  • Veteran student services.

Instructions

  • Be sure to select just a single area to focus your FAQ on. In the information you are providing, clarity and focus is a vital consideration to creating an effective FAQ.
  • You will format the document as if it would be going on the website, but you will write the document in Microsoft Word or equivalent word processing software.
  • Write a 1–2 page FAQ sheet in which you pose and answer five questions for the intended audience and purpose.
  • On a separate page within the same document, write a paragraph that identifies the intended audience and purpose of the FAQ sheet you have created. (Submit one document in total with both components included.) Your assignment cannot be graded without this analysis.

In your document, you should:

  • Match the intended audience and purpose for situation and tone.
  • Format FAQ web pages accurately and according to the details in the textbook.
    • This includes providing working and ADA accessible links as needed (again, see your textbook).
  • Ensure that content is measured, concise, and applicable.
    • Remember you need to answer the FAQ questions that you create for your topic.
  • Craft a document that is easy to read.

Remember, your FAQ must be targeted toward a relevant Strayer University audience and topic.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

  • Compile information that corresponds to an intended audience.

Review the piece to see how these steps can help you with your problem analysis paper.

/in /by

Be sure to read the required reading for this week as it will help guide you through the process of analyzing a problem.  It is by Catherine Savini and is linked here as well as in the lesson’s Reading and Resources section.  “Looking for Trouble: Finding Your Way into a Writing Assignment”

“Problems are an expected part of life, and our ability to deal with them can help determine our personal and professional success,” according to Catherine Savini.  As you read her work, you see that problems are also good for writing students, as they can “motivate” good papers and help students formulate a strong thesis statement or argument.  Savini also notes that “Theses do not fall from the sky. Finding a rich problem can be a big step in the direction of developing a compelling thesis.” (56).

Looking at problems, then, is what you will do in this assignment. This analysis project requires you to tackle a problem within your field of study by first exploring and then recommending practical solutions to solve the problem.  Savini provides some great steps to take in working with problems:

1. Noticing;

2. Articulating a problem and its details;

3. Posing fruitful questions;

4. Identifying what is at stake.

Review the piece to see how these steps can help you with your problem analysis paper.

Example:

Noticing: A company faces a growing number of insurance claims from employees complaining of eye strain.

Articulating a problem and its details: The company recognizes the potential impacts from not acting, including the workers’ compensation claims, lowered productivity, and impacts on employee morale.

Posing fruitful questions:

  • To what degree is the lighting affecting employees?
  • Is the lighting the problem, or is the eye strain restricted to workers on a certain floor or area of the office building?
  • Could there be external factors affecting eye strain such as late nights at the office working on their projects?

Identifying what is at stake: The company recognizes that insurance claims can result in increased premiums; that lowered productivity can impact profits; and that lowered employee morale can impact productivity, quality, and retention.

After deciding on the problem you wish to tackle, begin building questions about it. You will find three attachments here to provide additional help in building your questions. Your goal for the analysis is to answer the questions through your sources. Finding multiple angles and perspectives is ideal so that you explore those possibilities in the final paper before settling on your recommendation.  Be sure to identify what is at stake here.

Part of the recommendation should include the counterargument and rebuttal to demonstrate you’ve considered the limitations and concerns of your solution and can still defend the recommendation regardless of potential weaknesses. Help the doubters understand that this really is the most feasible, objective, and sustainable solution.

  • PURPOSE:   To analyze a problem
  • AUDIENCE:   Classmates, others interested in the field
  • LENGTH:   1,000 words (Times New Roman font). Exceeding the word count is not a good thing.
  • SOURCES:   5 (five) sources total, with at least 1 (one) from a professional journal in the APUS Library (peer-reviewed)
  • FORMAT:   The citation style that is appropriate for your discipline
  • DUE:   SUNDAY 11:55 pm EST of Week 7
  • SUBMIT:   In ASSIGNMENTS submit your essay by uploading your Word file

Use only third person (he/she/they) for a more professional tone. Avoid first person (I, my, us, we) and second person (you and your) in your essay.

**Remember that all work submitted is to be your own original work except where properly acknowledged and cited. Do not reuse work, papers, or speeches from previous (or concurrent) classes as this violates APUS academic integrity policies. (Make sure to note the section on self-plagiarism.) **
