Brand Credibility

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Brand Credibility

Read “When a Brand Stands Up for Racial Justice, Do People Buy It?” located in the Topic 8 Resources. The authors wrote the article in response to the recent media attention around social justice initiatives triggered by the killing of Black people by police officers. The authors use the idea of “brand authenticity” as a way to gauge the sincerity of the brand as it relates to social issues. The authors assert that brand authenticity has two orientations, corporate (as defined by issues of continuity and credibility) and social (as defined by integrity and symbolism). Using the four-windowpane matrix in the article titled, “Consumer Perceptions of Authenticity of Racial Justice Brand Actions,” evaluate Levi Strauss’s response.

Brand Credibility

Read “The Price of Being Political” located in the Topic 8 Resources for an additional perspective on this topic. Finally, read “We Stand With the Black Community” located in the Topic 8 Resources. Levi Strauss is an iconic American brand. The president of Levi Strauss & Company posted a letter on the company website about the same time this article was written. Refer back to “When a Brand Stands Up for Racial Justice, Do People Buy It?” Using the four-windowpane matrix in the article titled, “Consumer Perceptions of Authenticity of Racial Justice Brand Actions,” evaluate Levi Strauss’s response. Using the four-windowpane matrix in the article titled, “Consumer Perceptions of Authenticity of Racial Justice Brand Actions,” evaluate Levi Strauss’s response.

Brand Credibility

In 300-350 words, briefly address the following:

Define brand authenticity and the two orientations (corporate and social), and assess Levi Strauss. Is their response one of Atone, Allure, Acknowledge, or Advocate? Or are they a combination of the four responses? Defend your choice(s). What does this lead you to conclude about Levi Strauss as a brand? Does the brand’s stand make you more or less positive toward the brand, whether you purchase Levi’s or not? APA style

Nursing Brochure Assignment

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Nursing Brochure Assignment

Please view the lecture on brochure creation before attempting this assignment. This assignment requires you to choose a specific topic in your major (Nursing) and design a brochure suitable for conveying information to the public. Your brochure should be focused on a single subject with a specific message or angle. For example, you might create a brochure that instructs readers on proper procedures to care for a cut or abrasion. Or you might create a brochure advocating the importance of daily teeth brushing.

It is very possible you will be finding and using information from sources outside of yourself. If you do so, and the content does not meet general use guidelines (see syllabus), you will need to provide citations. I would highly recommend using a CSE citation system, as superscript numbers are much easier to find room for in a confined space than name citation systems, although you are welcome to use any citation system you wish as long as you are consistent.

Nursing Brochure Assignment

I strongly suggest you do all of your work on the same computer or in the same lab, as changing computers may change your layouts and (believe me) this can be frustrating. Your assignment will be based on the appropriateness of information presented and an attractive page layout (including at least one visual), as well as the absence of errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar. See the rubric for more grading details. It is very possible you will be finding and using information from sources outside of yourself.

Cost-Benefit Analysis

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Cost-Benefit Analysis

Overview

The following resources are required to complete this assignment. Cost-Benefit Analysis Template [XLSX].Download Cost-Benefit Analysis Template [XLSX]. Cost-Benefit Analysis and Example listed on the Week 6: Cost-Benefit AnalysisLinks to an external site. reading list.

Preparation

For this assignment continue to use the organization you selected in the Week 3 assignment.

Instructions

Suppose an issue has emerged in your organization that presents significant risks to the stakeholders involved. Your supervisor has asked you to conduct a cost-benefit analysis (CBA), make a recommendation, and present it to the board of directors. You are expected to consider the numbers within the context of the organizational mission, strategic direction, patient safety, risk management issues, regulatory requirements, patient and stakeholder satisfaction, and the dynamics within the healthcare industry. Select a relevant issue within your workplace, or one from the resources provided for this assignment, for which a CBA may be conducted. The CBA should include one of the following course-related topics:

Quality.

Patient safety.

Risk management.

Regulatory standards.

Compliance.

Patient and stakeholder satisfaction.

Step One: Identify Costs

Cost-Benefit Analysis

Read the Cost-Benefit Analysis and Example and apply the process to identify costs:

Make a list of all monetary costs that will be incurred upon implementation and throughout the life of the project. These include start-up fees, licenses, production materials, payroll expenses, user acceptance processes, training, and travel expenses, among others. Include the assumptions for your totals. An example would be $2,000 for licenses and includes $100 for 20 providers. Make a list of all non-monetary costs that are likely to be absorbed. These include time, low production of other tasks, imperfect processes, potential risks, market saturation or penetration uncertainties, and influences on one’s reputation. An example would be the organization has a 60-day waiting list for new appointments. A new provider salary is $XXX,XXX and our reimbursement rate for this type of appointment is $XXX. The new provider will see XX patients per day.

Assign monetary values to the costs identified in steps one and two. To ensure equality across time, monetary values are stated in present value terms. If realistic cost values cannot be readily evaluated, consult with market trends and industry surveys for comparable implementation costs in similar businesses. Add all anticipated costs together to get a total costs value.

Step Two: Identify Benefits

Continuing with the CBA, proceed with the identification and quantification of benefits, per the Cost-Benefit Analysis and Example. Make a list of all monetary benefits with assumptions that will be experienced upon implementation and thereafter. These benefits include direct profits from products or services, increased contributions from investors, decreased production costs due to improved and standardized processes, and increased production capabilities, among others.

Make a list of all non-monetary benefits with assumptions that one is likely to experience. These include decreased production times, increased reliability and durability, greater customer base, greater market saturation, greater customer satisfaction, and improved company or project reputation, among others. Assign monetary values to the benefits identified in steps one and two. Be sure to state these monetary values in present value terms as well. Add all anticipated benefits together to get a total benefits value.

Cost-Benefit Analysis

Enter the cost and benefit data you developed for the CBA in your preparation steps into the Cost-Benefit Analysis Template [XLSX] Download Cost-Benefit Analysis Template [XLSX]. Then, write an analysis in which you do the following: Specify the focus and stakeholders for the cost-benefit analysis. Identify your stakeholders and describe the risk management issue for which you have created the CBA.

Develop a value proposition for change management that incorporates quality and risk management concepts. Present a value-based proposal and describe strategies for how you would identify and evaluate the process for reducing or avoiding risk within this organization. Please ensure you evaluate your risk management concern through a DMAIC lens. Conduct the cost-benefit analysis for the risk management intervention. Present your recommended best options for improving your risk management issue, as it relates to the organization in question.

Identify your key performance indicators (KPIs). Using the SMART method, present your KPIs for your recommendations. Use your CBA assumptions as a guide. For example, if you are presuming that your revenue is based on an increased daily volume, that volume should be the target for a corresponding KPI.

Evaluate the cost versus benefit according to the general guidelines outlined in the Cost-Benefit Analysis and Example. Describe recommendations to influence and impact the needed changes for quality improvement. Make a recommendation as to whether the benefits are sufficient to outweigh the costs of the proceeding. Describe the systems-based context for your recommendations, integrating the CBA within the organization as a whole. Describe how the issue relates to the organization’s vision, mission, and strategic direction. Provide a rationale that explains how your recommendations are appropriate for your organization’s capacity and strategy.

Cost-Benefit Analysis

Your analysis should use proper APA style and formatting and include the following sections. Each section, except the title page, should include the appropriate section heading. APA Format: Use appropriate APA format for a clear, concise presentation of information. Refer to the APA ModuleLinks to an external site. to help with APA style guidelines. Communicate information and ideas accurately, utilizing peer-reviewed sources, including proper APA reference citations.

Length of paper: 5–6 typed, double-spaced pages.

Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.

Appendix: Include your Cost-Benefit Analysis Template [XLSX] Download Cost-Benefit Analysis Template [XLSX]as an appendix to your analysis.
