Target Market Strategy

Your objectives section should address the following:

For your company, formulate at least five marketing objectives related to the new product/service that are realistic, measurable, time-specific and comparable to a benchmark.
Discuss the objectives as they relate to commercial, legal, and cultural aspects of a global business environment.

Target Market
The target market strategy identifies which market segment or segments to focus on in light of what the competition is doing. For this assignment, identify segmentation data and determine your target market., The process begins with a market opportunity analysis, or MOA, which describes and estimates the size and sales potential of market segments that are of interest to the firm. In addition, an assessment of key competitors in these market segments is performed. After the market segments are described, one or more may be targeted by the firm.

If your segmentation is too general, you will find that your subsequent promotional mix will be equally general, as you will not have described your market with sufficient specifics. For example, have you provided measurable segmentation variables, or have you described your market as “everyone who needs PC storage” or “everyone in Smithville who likes Italian food”?

Your target market section should address the following:

Describe your target mark whether a business or consumer market using segmentation variables., These include the use of demographics, psychographics, geodemographics, geographies, behavioral segments, or other segmentation criteria.
Describe your rationale for selecting the target market(s) that you did., State why these markets are attractive to you as a marketer.,
Describe the market in terms of its anticipated growth revenue opportunities past performance etc., Utilize our author’s criteria for segmentation to demonstrate that your target market(s) suggest the likelihood of success—the market needs to be identifiable measurable sustainable accessible and reachable.,

Outcome Measure Discussion

This assignment is intended to be a discussion and interaction among peers. Please follow APA formatting/structure for all other aspects of the discussion. Peer reviewed journal references are required for your postings and will strengthen your points within the discussion (see rubric).

This discussion question will be “worth” a total of 5 points of your overall grade for this course. Grading will be assigned by the faculty based on the quality and content of your posts; your level of participation in the discussion will be considered in the grading. Students are expected to cross post to at least 2 peers in the discussion. Your cross post should provide a substantial posting that offers new or additional information to what was originally discussed. Including “I agree” or “nice work” comments do not constitute as a substantial cross post and may affect your grade. Outcome Measure Discussion

Discussion Limit: The initial post should be approximately 250 words. The cross post should be approximately 150 words. Expected word counts do not include references.

Students are expected to cross post to at least 2 peers in the discussion. Your cross post should provide a substantial posting that offers new or additional information to what was originally discussed. ,Including I agree or nice work comments do not constitute as a substantial cross post and may affect your grade.,

Discussion Limit: The initial post should be approximate.y 250 words. The cross post should be approximately 150 words. Expected word counts do not include references.

For this discussion, describe one outcome that is a “latent” variable. These variables are something that you can’t see (pain, quality of life, anxiety, depression, patient satisfaction, healthcare provider trust, etc.) but are extremely important measures of program success. The goal is for you to start thinking about what outcomes could be appropriate to use to evaluate the effectiveness of your program.

This instrument must be something that already exist. The goal is to report the psychometrics validity and reliability of the instrument you have chosen., Please note that sensitivity and specificity is different from reliability and validity., However, sensitivity and specificity together can be considered a test of criterion related validity (for highly sensitive and specific tests). Start by describing the variable and the measure (number of questions, scoring, etc.). Next, describe how the validity and reliability were established. For reliability think test/retest, internal consistency, Cronbach’s alpha, or inter-rater; validity can be construct, content, or one of the criterion related validities. Do not just say that the reliability and sensitivity were good. HINT: there is often a statistical test involved. Report the methods used and the statistical test if available. Describe the populations that were used to establish the psychometric properties. Outcome Measure Discussion

Psychometric Property Description

Below is an example of how to describe the psychometric properties of a measure. In this example, the General Well-being schedule was used as a “substitute” for the concept of depression in a secondary analysis of existing data. When authors do this, they use it as a “proxy” measure of the outcome of interest. This paragraph is from a published article. General Well-being.

The General Well-being schedule (GWBS) was used as a proxy measure for depressive symptoms. The GWBS is a self-administered 18-item scale that was originally developed for the National Center for Health Statistics (McDowell & Newell, 1996). The GWBS has both positive and negative questions that explore the individuals’ feelings of depression, anxiety, general health, self-control, vitality, and positive well-being represented as six subscales. Three levels of well-being are proposed: 0—60, severe distress; 61—72, moderate distress; and 73—110, positive well-being (McDowell & Newell, 1996). Concurrent validity for the total GWBS score was supported by an average correlation of 0.69 with six other depression scales (Fazio, 1977). In a study of 195 college students, the GWBS had a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.91 for men and 0.95 for women (Fazio, 1977). In the current study, the GWBS exhibited a strong reliability coefficient (Cronbach’s alpha 0.91). The scale performed equally as well with men (α = 0.90) and women (α = 0.91).

Examining the Evidence

By Academic Wizard Blog

Examining the Evidence

The paper should be carefully written in a formal style, based on primary sources, provide an integration of ideas, and be approximately 6 pages in length, excluding title page, and reference list. Organized flow, logical progression of ideas, and clarity in thought are essential. Only include evidence related to this assignment and not all of the evidence you have rated since doctoral school.

Some of you may continue the issue you began in NU 608. If you want to change issues/problems/topics, and that is fine. We do recommend that you choose a topic for NU 611 and stay with it throughout this particular course. Choice of an issue does not mean that you are approved for this topic for your project. Remember to choose an issue that is appropriate for your educational track. For example, if you are in the Adult Acute Care NP track, choose a topic that is in the adult acute care population. If you have questions about the appropriateness of your topic, discuss with your instructor.

Step 1: Identify a local practice problem., Consider using the same problem that you identified in Assignment 2., You already have 10 articles addressing that problem.

Step 2: Identify the 3 best interventions to address your practice problem and select the best one to implement locally.,

Step 3: Think about a theoretical framework for moving your intervention into practice.,

Step 4: Complete the written assignment address all of the criteria outlined in the rubric.,

Remember you MUST have headings corresponding to rubric points except for “introduction”. The title serves as the “introduction” heading in APA. See the rubric for details.

Tips for Success

Here are some helpful hints regarding Examining the Evidence.

The introduction section of your paper should begin with a general statement that identifies a practice issue., The last sentence in the introduction paragraph (one paragraph) will be your thesis statement which tells the reader the purpose of the paper and what will be discussed., Don’t pose your thesis statement as a question. It should clearly state that the purpose of the paper is to… Remember that APA does not use the heading “introduction.” Therefore, simply put the title as the first heading. Examining the Evidence
As part of the background, describe the significance of the problem and the system in which the problem is occurring. Why did you choose this issue? Is there a problem on your unit/in your system that really needs your focus? Has some problem resulted in negative patient outcomes? What has been done locally to address the problem? How does this problem relate to the IOM quality care aims? Be clear and succinct.
State the purpose of the project. The purpose of the project is not to review literature or explore the research. It involves implementing a strategy to address the problem that you identified earlier in the paper. Next, state why is it important to advanced nursing practice? Many things in health care are important but what influence does nursing practice have on the stated problem? Please note that the purpose of the project is different from the purpose of the paper in the introduction.
Select a nurse theory and describe how the underlying concepts are guiding the interventions outlined in your project idea. For example, is it a health promotion intervention? Nola Pender’s model may be a good fit. Is it a systems change? Betty Neuman’s systems theory or Kirk Lewin’s model of change may be a good fit. Include a figure of the theory as an appendix. Please do not include an entire article or book chapter – only the figure. Example

(https://usaonline.southalabama.edu/courses/76930/files/14325569/download?download_frd=1) of figures that could be use.

Lewin’s 3-Step Chang e Model (http s://culcimakulaa.wordp ress.com/2014/03/22/manag in g chang e/)

Neuman Sy stems Model (http s://p mhealthnp .com/nursing -student-supp ort/betty -neumans y stems-model/)

Pender Health Promotion Model (http s://p mhealthnp .com/nola-p ender-health-p romotionmodel/)

Gail Stuart Stress Adaptation Model (http s://p mhealthnp .com/g ail-stuart-stress-adap tationmodel/)

Other Theories and Conceptual Models (http s://p mhealthnp .com/p mhnp -top ics/theories-inp s y chiatric-nursing -concep tual-models/)

Identify the best 3 strategies (also called best practices or interventions) recommended to address the clinical issue. You can refer to clinical practice guidelines, research studies, systematic review whatever the best rated evidence you have. Choose the 3 interventions that are best supported; identify and discuss those and the supporting evidence. Tell the reader what level of evidence supports the strategies. What is the level/quality of the evidence using the Johns Hopkins Nursing EBP model? NOTE: If you are adopting a bundle or guideline, you still need to pull out 3 strategies from that guideline and discuss the evidence supporting the practice. Examining the Evidence
With all of the new technology we are using in and around healthcare, choose something either on the patient or the administration side that could help improve outcomes surrounding your topic, examples include apps, computer charting protocols, telehealth, mobile health, text messaging, artificial intelligence, etc.
A successful project will require a number of people to participate in bringing it to fruition. Describe the interprofessional team that will address your problem. What role will each member play? What is the role for a DNP prepared nurse?
The conclusion paragraph is just a restatement of the main points of the paper. This section should be short and sweet and to the point. Do remember though that paragraphs are at least 3 sentences. Make your point in a succinct, but substantive way and move along. Be sure to state how this project will guide future research/EBP.
Scholarship is evidenced by organized and logical progression of ideas; effort and attention to detail is evident; communicates effectively all aspects of discussion. Correct grammar, spelling, and word choice. Liberal number of references (minimum of 10 references). References are current, appropriately paraphrased, and acknowledged. Correct use of APA. Correct title page used for assignment copy. Do not use 1st person or refer to yourself as “the student” etc.

Title Page and Reference Page: Use the APA formatted (7th edition) title pag e

(https://usaonline.southalabama.edu/courses/76930/files/14325296/download?download_frd=1) with attestation. There’s really no reason to lose points for this! It’s a freebie….just type in your appropriate information on the title page and put into your paper. Use the 7th edition for your reference page citations.

If you have any questions about Examining the Evidence, please post in the Q&A.

Ethics and Mission Statement

By Academic Wizard Blog

Ethics and Mission Statement

The purpose of the Ethics and Mission Statement Integration assignment is to think about how your moral principles influence how you interpret the ethical code as it relates to your personal/ professional identity and principles learned/created during development.

This assignment asks you to examine your personal and professional development by reflecting on the SHU Mission Statement, and either the American Counselor Association (ACA) Code of Ethics or the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) Ethical Standards for School Counselors (for those heading into school counseling). The ACA and ASCA codes of ethics include an opening section that shares the professional organization’s philosophy and view of the overarching values, identity, and orientation expected of a professional counselor and professional school counselor – this can be seen as the mission for the professions. Following the mission, each code lays out the specifics of the expected behavior of the professional. In this assignment, you will reflect on how these expectations guide the counseling profession and how they shape your professional development as a counselor.

Mission Statement: SHU university is a major Catholic university., In a diverse and collaborative environment it focuses on academic and ethical development., SHU students are prepared to be leaders in their professional and community lives in a global society and are challenged by outstanding faculty an evolving technologically advanced setting and valuescentered curricula.

Assignment Directions:

Follow the steps below to complete the assignment.

Please carefully read through the two/three documents until you reach the end.,
Return back to the start highlight and comment on at least two (.5 each = 1 point total) things in the SHU Mission Statement Document., Comment on what is similar to or is different than what you perceive as your own life’s mission.,

—If you are in the MENTAL HEALTH track, highlight and comment on at least four (.5 each = 2 points total) aspects of the Introduction to the ACA Code of Ethics that resonate with your own personal identity, your motto/perspective of treating others, and the type of counselor you aspire to be.

–If you are in the SCHOOL COUNSELING track, highlight and comment on at least four (.5 each = 2 points total) aspects of the Preamble to the ASCA Code of Ethics that resonate with your own personal identity, your motto/perspective of treating others, and what type of school counselor you aspire to be. Ethics and Mission Statement

On the last page, you’ll create your main post (post a comment anywhere on the document) answering the following question: Our value systems evolve from our earliest environments and are influenced by various cultural factors (consider the ADDRESSING or RESPECTFUL models). Additionally, your professional orientation will be influenced by your personal development as it intersects with professional development. Considering your history, the ADDRESSING or RESPECTFUL model, and what you now know from the SHU mission statement and the ethics codes, how do these influence your own personal mission statement as it relates to being a counselor?Ethics and Mission Statement What blind spots or biases might you need to explore further (we all have them) and how may you begin to overcome them?

By Academic Wizard Blog

Criminal Investigation & Criminal Trial

Locate a current event article from a credible source dealing with a criminal investigation or criminal trial. ,Your article can deal with any topic except Wikileaks and the case against Julian Assange., Prepare a presentation with a discussion question and voice narration for your peers to respond to in Module 6., Prepare the presentation in PowerPoint and then load the slide show to VoiceThread and add the narration to each slide., Use the following procedure to complete this assessment:

1.Read the article and take notes on the major points of the article. Criminal Investigation & Criminal Trial

2. Prepare a short PowerPoint (approximately 5 to 7 slides) without the voice narration. (You will add this in VoiceThread in the next step). Keep in mind the following:

— Summarize the main points of the article in the same order as they appear in the article. Keep in mind that you need to put this in your own words. Since this is a presentation, you want to have short bullet points with you using your voice narration to provide the details. You do not want to create a presentation where you are reading slides word for word.

— Create an APA citation for the article so that it can be located by the instructor and other students. This should be on a separate slide before the discussion question.

— Create a discussion question from one of the concepts/issues discussed in the article. This should be placed on the final slide. A good discussion question should not be one that provides a simple yes or no answer. You want to make sure your question not only asks your peers what they think about the issue but why they think that way.Criminal Investigation & Criminal Trial

3. Load your saved PowerPoint to VoiceThread. A link to the class VoiceThread page is in the VoiceThread Module at the bottom of the Course Content Page.

4. Add voice narration to each slide either with a computer and microphone or by phone in VoiceThread.
