Description

You are the Executive Director at a midsized nonprofit museum. The museum, while successful, operates very close to the margins meaning your income and expenses are always very close to each other. Your most popular permanent exhibition is a collection of turn of the century surrealist paintings including work by Picasso, Dali, and Ernst. You have just begun a two-month membership campaign using the works in that collection in your marketing materials. The central image in your marketing campaign is a piece by Marc Chagall. Your campaign culminates with a gala held in the surrealist wing. This annual fundraising campaign usually brings in about 30% of your earnings for the year. You have just received a phone call informing you that the Marc Chagall painting at the center of your marketing campaign was stolen from a family by the Nazis during the Holocaust. The family, has asked for the painting back and has made it clear if you do not comply, they will pursue legal action. What do you do? Some things to note. It is 100% true that the painting was looted and sold by the Nazis during World War II. You, however, bought it last year from an anonymous private collector for a very large sum. The American Association of Museums (of which you are accredited) has suggested guidelines for Nazi looted paintings. They are available here: https://www.aam-us.org/programs/ethics-standards-and-professional-practices/unlawful-appropriation-of-objects-during-the-nazi-era/ Many museums who have been sued by former owners of Nazi looted paintings have won their court cases. Meaning the museum has been able to keep the paintings, but a court case is expensive and has the chance to ruin your reputation in the eyes of the public and your donors. The family, while firm about wanting the painting returned to their possession is open to negotiating the terms, but is not a family of means and could not afford to pay the full cost. Should you return the painting, the images in your marketing campaign would need to be changed at great cost to you because it would be false advertising. Your insurance company is able to cover only 15% of the value of the painting. No matter what you decide, you will have to make some statement to the press. Even if that statement is “no comment.” Write a formal letter to the Board of Directors explaining your recommended decision. Your letter must contain all of the following: A persuasive argument which clearly states how you believe the board should move forward. Which key stakeholders you spoke with before making your decision and why. The best- and worst-case scenarios which might may arise from your decision. Your proposed statement to the press. (No more than 250 words) You paper must be no less than 1500 words

Discuss your experience with the marketing  simulation. What did you learn? What did you achieve? What would you do differently?

/in /by

Discuss your experience with the marketing  simulation. What did you learn? What did you achieve? What would you do differently?

* Example Answer:

To sum up my experience in one word it would be agonizing.  I say this because I became extremely frustrated throughout my time completing the simulation.  I made many mistakes in the beginning of the simulation and those mistakes demoralized me, making the entire simulation a miserable experience.  I did not have a strategy going into the simulation but after the first period when I made all of my decisions everything I had done worked. Stock was up, revenue was good, I was a marketing genius.  That first period gave me this psuedo confidence that ultimately destroyed me.  Every other period after, Allround, a name that will always give me nightmares, sank lower and lower.  I felt as though I was trying to climb out of a hole where the walls were made of quick sand.  The worst part about it was not only the feeling of dejection, but being forced to write about how miserable I had failed and how I planned to fix it.

During the course of this simulation I was completely reactionary. I had no money to spend because my budget was negative since the 4th period maybe 3rd.  So making decisions did not involve much strategy because I didn’t have any money to spend.  Basically, I had to cut spending in places (primarily advertising) and then try  and use that money to maximize areas that were successful.  It was like trying to revive a zombie, why do when it is already dead.

What did I learn? I honestly think I learned more about life than marketing during the course of this simulation.  I learned that sometimes you are going to have to write about your failures as horrible as it may be.  I learned all the different ways to make a successful company fail.  I learned how funny similes can be when describing misery.  I learned that if I would have done even slight research I could have aced this simulation. But ultimately I learned not to dwell on the past and live for the future. So I will gladly put this experience behind me and never look back.

What did I achieve?  It is hard to say exactly what I achieved, honestly I am not sure.  I achieved a mediocre grade on the simulation.  Something, I am not proud of but own up to.

What would I have done differently?  This is a weighted question I could go into all of the poor decisions I made throughout the simulation assess them and go through the alternate decisions I should have made based on my marketing strategy. I could analyze the products I chose to make for Allround and describe why they were bad choices, but I would be here for a fortnight describing the mistakes for second period alone.  When it comes down to it the only thing I would have changed is the time I decided to do research on this simulation.

Instructions

Locate an article in the CSU Online Library that focuses on managing conflict in an organization through communication. The article must be clearly related to the course content and have the potential to contribute significant analysis and substantial engagement with the course topic.

For this assignment, you will need to accurately identify the article’s premise, significant points in support of the premise, and the significance of those points to the course and/or the field. You need to present an insightful and thorough analysis of the article with strong arguments and evidence. Your interpretation will need to be both reasonable and compelling. You will need to apply course concepts in your analysis.

As you write the review, be certain to analyze the type of conflict discussed in the article. Use the classifications discussed in the Unit III Lesson (Rahim’s functional outcomes and Rahim’s dysfunctional outcomes) in your analysis. Be certain to suggest communication techniques to manage functional conflict or, alternately, communication techniques to resolve dysfunctional conflict.

Along with the article being reviewed, you will need to reference at least two peer-reviewed sources. Use the standard five-paragraph format (introduction/body/conclusion). APA format should be used. The critical review should be a minimum of two pages in length. Content, organization, and grammar/mechanics will be evaluated.

How do you know this? Would this distribution intensity strategy change for your new target market? Why or why not?

  1. Marketing channels.  To the best of your ability, outline the marketing channels of your product or service offering as they currently exist. Refer to Figure 6.2 for some ideas. Most product and service offerings will have more than one channel, so your system should include at least two; for example (1) a direct channel for internet sales: manufacturer –> customer; and (2) an indirect channel such as manufacturer –> distributor –> wholesaler –> retailer –> customer. If your product or service only has only a direct channel, explain why. Would this channel strategy change as a result of your new target market? Why or why not?
  2. Marketing channel strategy.  Why type of distribution intensity strategy does your product or service currently use? How do you know this? Would this distribution intensity strategy change for your new target market? Why or why not?
  3. Value chain. Referring back to your marketing channel diagram, discuss what each member of the value chain does to bring value to the consumer.
  4. Pricing strategy. Referring to the various pricing strategies outlined in the week’s readings, which one does your product or service currently use? Would you recommend any changes for your new target market? If so, how would you change it and why?
