XN Initial Project Scope: Westfield Food Pantry
(westfieldfoodpantry.org)
Food Pantry Distribution Analysis
Description: The organization is a partial choice food pantry located in a suburban Massachusetts community. Utilizing a partial choice model, clients receive food staples each month, but choose which meats, breads, pastries, dairy and produce he/she desires during each visit. As a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the organization immediately transitioned to no- and low-contact food distribution methods (drive through pick-ups and home deliveries) to feed community members in need. According to the local Board of Health, limitations of the organization’s physical plant will prevent clients from resuming use of the partial choice pantry even when COVID-19 restrictions are lifted. Utilizing recommendations from the Board of Health, the organization is seeking a sustainable method of low or no contact food distribution for the community’s vulnerable population.

Deliverables/Goal: A proposal containing at least three innovative ways to alleviate hunger, providing either food, or other assistance, to those in need, while following COVID-19 safety precautions. Also, providing recommendations to improve current distribution process while abiding with Board of Health regulations and ensuring sustainability.

Requirement: Based on this project, You will use the attached Scope Template to define your project and outline various specifics regarding it, 4 Pages.

Consumers and Business Ethics Reading 6.1, “The Ethics of Sales”
BUS110: Moral Issues in Business 
Topic: Do businesses and their employees have an obligation to treat their consumers ethically? More specifically, do salespeople have an ethical obligation to provide their customers with the information they need to make mutually beneficial purchases?
Learning Goal: To further your understanding of ethical issues relating to business sales and marketing by critically analyzing a debate over which moral principles should regulate businessconsumer interactions.
Instructions:
1. You should begin by reading Ch. 6 from the textbook (“Consumers”), making sure you familiarize yourself with the main concepts and terminology.
2. After finished reading, you should use the concepts from Ch. 6 to write an essay that critically analyzes “The Ethics of Sales,” by Thomas Carson (Case 6.1 in the textbook, pp. 306-313).
3. In your essay, you should pick between the two theories of the ethics of sale put forth by Carson and David Holley, and then explain why the theory you picked is better justified than the alternative.
4. While writing your essay, make sure you address all of the following questions (adapted from the textbook, p. 309), which we will discuss in class over the next two weeks:
(a) What is the difference between lying and deception? According to Carson, does withholding information constitute deception? What about concealing information?
(b) What is the principle of caveat emptor? What is merchantability?
(c) Holly writes that salespeople are required to avoid undermining the conditions of acceptable exchange. What three conditions are necessary for an “acceptable exchange”?
9|Page
(d) Assess the three criticisms that Carson makes of Holley’s theory. Do you find them persuasive?
(e) According to Carson, what four duties do salespeople have? Explain how the Golden Rule supports these duties. Is Carson’s interpretation of the Golden Rule the best way of understanding it? In your view, is the Golden Rule a basic principle of ethics?
Explain why or why not. What implications does the Golden Rule have for salespeople?
(f) Do Carson’s duties 1 through 4 provide a more plausible account of the ethics of sales than Holly’s theory does? Explain why or why not. Do you agree that the actions in examples A, B, and C are morally wrong?
(g) Carson believes that he makes a strong case for duties 1 through 4, but that reasonable people can disagree about duties 5 and 6. In your view, do salespeople have duties 5 and 6? In example D, was Mr. Mokarem morally obligated to do what he did?

Just a reply to the student’s post regarding business network
Hello Professor and Class,
I hope everyone doing well this week. I know for myself I have had a rough two weeks. Trying to get back on track.  This week's discussion is talking about networking. I think that one of my mind reason I came into healthcare because I enjoy talking with people and making new friends.  One of this week's resources article "Lean-to Love Networking" talks about how you can take the step to learn how to love networking. I think this article was very helpful when it comes to knowing what you should be looking for to network.
Why is networking so important to job seekers?
Networking is important for job seekers because it gives them an idea if you are a people person.  I also think it helps them see if you are a go-getter. 
With whom, where, and when should you network?
You should network everywhere you go because you don't know who knows who.
Who are the best kinds of contact networks?
The best kinds of contact with the network are Business Networking International and American Marketing Association. 
What people should be in your network?
People that should be in your network are people that will uplift you. People that when someone talks to them about a job or a position they think of you because you have a great work ethic, and you have a positive, joyful and you're a people person.

Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a research paper. Every day, millions of economic choices are made by people—from what brand of soap to buy
to how many employees to hire for a factory. Microeconomics provides us with the tools, models, and concepts to better understand individual choices in the
marketplace and how resource allocation is determined at the micro level. The decisions made by individuals and households impact the market and influence
decisions made by firms. Firms use these tools as a way to determine pricing, output, and profit maximization. As a student of economics, you can use the
microeconomic principles to gain an understanding of how firms and individuals make decisions and also to make your own conclusions about actions we can
take to improve those decisions.
Now, imagine that you are a consultant to the firm of your choice. The firm has hired you to advise it on how it can ensure its future success as a company in its
current market. To do this, you will write a 7–9-page research paper analyzing market and business data to explain how the core microeconomic principles
impact the sustainability of the firm and what actions it can take to ensure success.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Four, and Five. The final submission will occur in Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
· ECO-201-01: Apply microeconomic models to real-world situations for informing effective business decisions
· ECO-201-02: Analyze business and market data using microeconomic tools for their impact on business sustainability
· ECO-201-03: Evaluate the structure of various markets for informing effective decision-making strategies
· ECO-201-04: Assess the behavior and decisions of individuals and firms for their relation to the microeconomic framework
Prompt
You will work with your instructor to choose a firm for which you can find reliable data and information, both at the firm level and the industry level. The firm you
select must be a publicly traded company, must operate in the U.S. market, and must currently be in business. You will need instructor approval before continuing
on with your research paper in order to ensure you have met the necessary requirements. Publicly traded companies file reports with a great deal of data that
you will find useful for your analysis. Once you have selected a firm for your case study, you will gather information and data relevant to the firm and its industry
and use the core microeconomic principles you have learned in class to analyze the information and make a recommendation for your firm. You will compose a
7–9-page research paper in which you will analyze the market and business data to explain how the core microeconomic principles impact the sustainability of
the firm, and your recommendation will suggest the actions the firm can take to ensure success.
Specifically the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Introduction
Work with your instructor to choose a firm that matches the following criteria: a publicly traded company operating in the U.S. market that is currently in
business.
a) Outline the purpose of this paper and how it will inform your conclusion.
b) Summarize the history of the firm, and provide an overview for what the firm does and what goods/services it sells.
II. Explore the supply and demand conditions for your firm’s product.
a) Evaluate trends in demand over time, and explain their impact on the industry and the firm. You should consider including annual sales figures
for the product your firm sells.
b) Analyze information and data related to the demand and supply for your firm’s product(s) to support your recommendation for the firm’s
actions. Remember to include a graphical representation of the data and information used in your analysis.
III. Examine the price elasticity of demand for the product(s) your firm sells.
a) Analyze the available data and information, such as pricing and the availability of substitutes, and justify how you determine the price elasticity
of demand for your firm’s product.
b) Explain the factors that affect consumer responsiveness to price changes for this product, using the concept of price elasticity of demand as your
guide.
c) Assess how the price elasticity of demand impacts the firm’s pricing decisions and revenue growth.
IV. Examine the costs of production for your firm.
a) Analyze the various costs a firm faces, their trends over time, and how they have impacted your firm’s profitability.
b) Apply the concepts of variable and fixed costs to your firm for informing its output decisions. For instance, analyze how different kinds of costs
(labor, research and development, raw materials) affect the firm’s level of output.
V. Explore the overall market for your firm.
a) Discuss the market share of the firm and its top competitors by providing details on current percentages for each firm and describing the trend
over time. You might consider presenting the data graphically.
b) Analyze the barriers to entry in this market to illustrate the potential for new competition and its impact on your firm’s future in the market.
c) Describe the market structure for this firm, and analyze how this affects the firm’s ability to influence the market.
VI. Recommendation
a) Develop a recommendation for how the firm can manage its future production by synthesizing the data presented.
b) Suggest how the firm’s position within the market and among its competitors will allow it to take your recommended action.
c) Describe how the firm can sustain its success going forward by evaluating the findings from demand trends and price elasticity.
