Entrepreneurship Marketing

Marketing plays an essential role in managing and growing a firm. To gain an in-depth perspective on marketing as it relates to entrepreneurship, complete the following instructions: Write a 1,050- to 1,250-word paper addressing marketing and branding a heath care related product or service. Select an existing health care related product or service and include the following in your paper: Target Market What is a target market? What is the target market of the product or service selected? What is the importance of selecting a target market? What issues and questions must be considered when selecting and managing a target market? Branding What is a brand? Why is branding important? After selecting a current, common health care brand, address the following: What images or thoughts do you relate to that brand? Does the branding appeal to the market? Do those images influence consumers’ decisions to buy or use that brand? Is the product successful? What is the profitability of the product and what is the effect on the bottom line? If this were your product or service, what might you do differently?

Explain that various factors combine to influence one’s thinking patterns and behaviors

Wade and Tavris explain that various factors combine to influence one’s thinking patterns and behaviors. Most would agree that we are inundated with outside influences on a continuous basis. The need to stay connected to various forms of media is growing by leaps and bounds. Have you ever wondered what impact media consumption could be having in your life? Can viewing violent acts lead to vicious behaviors later? One particular area worthy of closer examination relates to one’s environment and how extraneous information can intrude our waking and restful thoughts. In fact, research conducted by Van den Bulck, Cetin, Terzi, and Bushman (2016) revealed that violent and sexual media viewing can not only influence one’s memories, but this content can have an impact on dreams as well. Read the article listed below. Van den Bulck, J., Cetin, Y., Terzi, O., & Bushman, B. J. (2016). Violence, sex, and dreams: Violent and sexual media content infiltrate our dreams at night. Dreaming, 26(4), 271-279.

Your review should also relate back to the information covered in Unit IV. In your review, be sure to include the following items: Briefly introduce and summarize the article. Identify the authors’ main points. Explain how the study’s results may differ if conducted in the United States as opposed to using Turkish participants. Keep in mind that Turkey has stricter sexual media censorship rules than the United States, and violations of such can produce regulation fines. Explain additional factors that influence learning, conditioning, and behaviors as outlined in the textbook. Examine how one’s dreams influence external behaviors. Describe the impact that violence and social media can have on behaviors

stress and strain calculations

  • Measure A0 and L0 for 2 specimens (steel and plexiglass).
  • Perform tensile tests on the two specimens and generate curves of Load (N) vs. distance (mm).
  • Convert this data to plots of engineering stress (MPa) vs. strain using the original lengths and x-sectional areas.
  • Determine the experimental material properties in the table below (use 0.002 offset for yield stress/strain) and answer the questions.
  • Compare your results to tabulated textbook values (plexiglass = poly methyl methacrylate in Table 15.1 on pg 572 and steel 1020 in Appendix B of your text).

Questions:

  • Determine the following experimental (based on your plots) and theoretical values for each:
sample E(GPa) σy(MPa) εy σuts(MPa) σf(MPa) εf Book E(GPa) Book   σy(MPa) Bookσts

(MPa)

% Elongation at failure Ur(MPa)
Steel 21.4 196.5 0.011 321 173 0.383 207 210 380 25% 1.081
Plexiglass 1.09 45.5 .0435 45.6 45.6 .0435 2.24-3.24 48.3-72.4 53.8-73.1 2-5.5% 0.99

 

  • What is the optimal shape geometry for a tensile specimen? Why?
  • Which material was stiffer? Why?  Did the values for E match the theory?  If not, why?
  • Which material was more resilient? (show calculation)
  • Which material had higher strength? Did this match the textbook’s prediction?
  • Describe the deformation and fracture surface of each material and what this conveys about the material (crack propagation speed, roughness, necking, angle). Use concepts discussed in the lecture.
  • Based on the stress-strain data, which material is most ductile? Which is most brittle? Does this match the fracture surface outcome (6)?  What was the percent elongation of the steel specimen vs. the plexiglass specimen?
  • Which polymer curve on VMSE is most similar to the plexiglass sample (HDPE, Nylon, Bakelite, or Rubber)? How so?
  • What does it mean when σf is much lower than σuts?  Did you observe this in either sample?  If we were to plot True Stress vs. True Strain, how would the curve look different?
  • Why might our experimental results be different than the textbook data? (Think about statistical variation and major sources of error or uncertainty in our measurement). Give at least 3 reasons.

Conversions to Diversity

This assignment aims to provide you with an opportunity to examine your own familiar boundaries, encourage you to cross those boundaries, and encourage you to engage with others in diverse cultural and socioeconomic contexts. You will examine how similarity attraction theory fits within our study of diversity. Task 1. Discuss your answer to the diversity wheel exercise given in your course textbook Privilege, Power, and Difference.Spend thirty minutes assessing your congregants’ diversity wheel: Observe social hours, observe table fellowship after church, and assess how similarity attraction theory fits and, or don’t fit.Even in the social circle. Task 2. Biblical Reflection: Spend thirty min. using the diverse parts and roles described in 1st Corinthians 12 to assess the social power dynamics of your congregants. in 200 words Spend another hour identifying your theological conversion experiences. In your textbook Life Abundant: Rethinking Theology and Economic for a Planet in Peril, McFague offers her autobiography that marks 4 conversions embedded with theological reflections. How does McFague’s autobiography help identify with your own theological conversion experiences? Share your response in 200 words. Collate your responses into 750 Microsoft Word Document.

Application Of Nursing Theory To Administrative Practice Arena

Select a grand nursing theory. Explain how application of this theory by nurse leaders and nurse managers can influence outcomes from two of the following areas.

Organizational operations
Patient satisfaction scores
Patient-care delivery
Workflow redesign
Nursing theory is vital to all practice areas in nursing specialties. An evidence-based (theoretical) approach is a quality of professional nursing practice and guides systematic care for patients. If the profession of nursing is to continue to be recognized and respected, members of our discipline must continue to use theory as a basis for critical thinking and decision-making in practice.

In this thread you will respond to and discuss: Select a grand nursing theory. Explain how application of this theory by nurse leaders and nurse managers can influence outcomes from two of the following areas:
• Organizational operations
• Patient satisfaction scores
• Patient-care delivery
• Workflow redesign

The course outcomes that will be used to guide the learning process are:
• Propose strategies foe use of relevant theories that nurse leaders can employ in selected healthcare or educational organizations, considering legal and ethical principles. (PO #2, 6)
• Communicate the analysis of and proposed strategies for the use of a theory in nursing practice. (PO#3)
• Recommend strategies for the use of theory as the basis for actions of advanced nursing practice in leadership and education. (PO#5)
