As Brown, Suter, and Churchill (2014) indicate in the Basic Marketing Research textbook, a marketing researcher will almost always be expected to develop a written report and presentation based on the results of the research. In this Assignment, you will prepare a marketing research report. As you prepare this marketing research report, you will engage in developing the following professional competencies of a marketing researcher:
•Sell ideas and persuade
•Create and edit reports
Marketing researchers must communicate with all stakeholders to develop accurate results when writing up the research report and presenting it to organizational leaders. The goal of the report and presentation is to sell and persuade the results of the marketing research, whether they favorably or unfavorably help to solve the research problem or to help capitalize on the research opportunity. A valid and appropriately designed research study will render valid results that should provide guidance to decision making leaders. Additionally, it is essential that marketing researchers use time management while creating and editing reports. The written report in general, will have an enormous impact on whether leadership decision makers will actually use the research or not. Your job as the marketing research is to master the art of persuading and selling the research results you worked very hard to produce.

PLEASE rephrase answers to this questions, also include questions when returning work.
1. How does Enterprise 2.0 impact the ways we approach Knowledge Management?
Enterprise 2.0 impacts the ways we approach Knowledge Management in that it gives more people more control and input and great organizations are willing to share how they make all of this work for them.
2. What are various key elements that help embed KM in the flow of work? The various key elements that help embed KM in the flow of work are to know when to be in the flow, form design teams and communities of practice around business and operational people, be there at the teachable moment, and use a standard collaboration platform across the enterprise.
3. What are the other principles that may help use see the relationship between investments in KM approaches and their bottom line results? The other principles that may help us see the relationship between investments in KM approaches and their bottom line results are not to forget about the power of person to person and face to face, understanding that measurement matters, creating an enterprise KM strategy,and link and leverage, building on what you already have in place.
4. What are the various approaches in Creating Enterprise KM Strategy? Creating a better user experience for employees who belong to multiple groups, promoting efficient use of KM and IT resources, increasing the probability of standardization and reuse of content, providing clarity around the business case and deliverables for approaches, and enabling a focus on content and connectivity, instead of a specific KM approach.
5. What do "Link and Leverage" mean in the context of KM? Link and leverage is building on what you already have in place or in play, from IT to strategic initiatives that are already getting a lot of attention. Reuse is a good thing for both the planet and for KM. This will reduce duplication of efforts, save money, and reduce the time necessary to design and implement common KM approaches.
6. Where should we go from here regarding Knowledge Management? To further embrace knowledge management KM professionals can turn to APQC to connect to a worldwide community of peers from all industries and to gain exposure to ready-to-use knowledge.Networking opportunities can be enhanced through monthly web events, annual KM conferences and training series.Lastly for implementation resources access to pertinent benchmarks, helpful assessments, and websites like www.newedgeknowledge.com and www.apqc.org can provide implementation resources and road maps, presentations, training, assessment tools, and articles that will help KM professionals make best practices.
Carla O'Dell, Cindy Hubert (2011). The New Edge in Knowledge: How Knowledge Management Is Changing the Way We Do Business.
Compare and contrast how Zara and Dell configure their supply chains to effectively compete in their chosen markets. Clearly describe and evaluate how their supply chain strategy supports their chosen strategic direction and critically assess the operational implications of each companies supply chain approach. Comment on whether their supply chain strategies can be seen as effective in the long run and what factors might influence a change in direction.
You will now complete your secondary market research and consider what distinguishes your company from your competitors, their products, and / or the price of their products and services.
The key word in Unique Selling Proposition (USP) is “unique.” There are very few products or services that are truly one of a kind. In order to target the demographic for your company, you need to pinpoint what makes your business standout among the competitors (e.g., Charles Revson, founder of Revlon, always used to say he sold hope, not makeup. Neiman Marcus sells luxury and customer service. Wal-Mart sells bargains. Amazon is earth’s biggest bookstore.)
Use the Internet to research two (2) of your favorite companies and two (2) companies that are similar to your company. Identify the USPs of these companies, and consider what the USPs mean to you. Next, prepare to create a USP for your company.
Tips on creating a USP for your company:
•Put yourself in your customers’ shoes. Consider what your customers really want. Consider what could make them your repeat customers and instead of your competition‘s. •Research what motivates your customers’ behaviors and buying decisions. You need to know what drives and motivates customers. •Uncover the real reasons why customers buy your product instead of a competitor's. As owner of a start up, ask people why they buy your future competitors’ product. This will help you uncover why they might buy yours. Ask yourself the following questions:
•What does our product or service do better than anyone else? •How is our business model different from that of our competition? How could our product or service be different? •What market category or niche is not being served by our industry?
Write a four to six (4-6) paragraph journal entry in which you:
1.Identify the target market and your secondary market for your company. Note: Be as specific as possible (e.g., women 30-45, with a high school education and some college; people working full time and living in the Midwest, etc.). 2.Describe your unique selling proposition (USP). Explain the key factors that make your company different than competitors within your industry. Describe the primary way in which the USP for your company targets the two (2) markets you identified in Question 1.

Lesson 3— Interview Assignment Interview with the Owner of a Small Business (30 points)
In this lesson you will begin your business plan—writing a business plan. A business plan describes the first year (in our case) of a start up business. To help you think about the business you are going to creatWe (your proposed fictional business plan) interview the owner of a small business. They are everywhere and are easy to find. It may be a farmer, the local hardware store owner, a hairdresser nearby—it doesn’t really matter. Talking to a small business owner will help you get a feel for some of the challenges they face.
• At the beginning of the assignment, place the name of the business, the location of the business (address and city), who you interviewed and the date of the interview.
Ask the following questions of the small business owner. (In parentheses there are topics from the class material. Comment on the owner’s answers by showing how their responses relate to the topics you learned about in the course material. For example, did they capitalize their business in the typical pattern?)
To receive complete credit for the assignment, you must comment on how the business owner’s responses (the questions or comments in parentheses) compare to what you have learned generally about small business. There are 15 possible points for getting answers to the questions for the owner and 15 possible points for commenting on the owner's responses.
At the end of the interview summary, add your own brief comments about your interview overall. Give some information regarding why you chose this particular business owner to interview.
• Basically, what does your business do?
• What type of business organization do you have—a sole proprietorship, a partnership or some other form? Why did you organize this way? (What are the benefits and negative points of the way they organized their business?)
• How did you decide to start a business of your own?
Did you have any prior experience in this type of business—for example, work for some other business that did what you are doing now? (Describe how this business owner does or does not meet the definition of a “crossover.” Crossovers are defined as people who gain experience in a business, usually working for someone else, then decide to start their own business. The pattern of an owner working for someone else, then using that experience to start their own business is common among small business owners.)
• How long have you owned this business? Did you start it yourself or buy an existing business? (What would be the benefits and negatives of how they started their business—starting from scratch or buying an existing one?)
• How did you get the financing to start/buy the business? Specifically, where did you get the capital to buy or start the business? (How does this owner’s method of raising capital for their new business compare with the typical model for raising capital to start a new business?)
• Would you say you are selling a product, a service, or a combination of both? (What do you think they are selling—products, services, combination—and why do you think that way?)
• What’s the biggest reward you feel you receive from owning your own business?
• What’s the biggest challenge you face, or faced, as a small business owner?
• Anything else you want to add?
NOTE: When preparing your document with the answers and comments above, include only your answers in the assignment. You do not need to repeat the questions in your submitted document. Just be sure you have answered all the questions and made comments on the business owner’s answers as requested in the assignment. I have included on the next page the grading sheet I use to evaluate this assignment. Note that spelling and grammar should be corrected. Be sure to proofread your document.

Just as consumers have a process in which they purchase products, every enterprise has a process in which they purchase products. In this assignment, you will analyze the purchasing process of a specific enterprise. Note: you do not have to have been involved in the actual purchasing process and decisions to complete the assignment. For this assignment:
Select a current or previous employer and briefly describe the organization and its main business. Analyze the purchasing process of the company by answering the following: Assess and describe what it was like to acquire products within the company for use in your job. Do not include products that were for resale. If possible, provide examples of both smaller items—such as office supplies or items needed to complete daily tasks—as well as larger items, such as a computer. Describe the process required to obtain the products. Include such information as: The time it took to obtain items. The process, or processes, involved. For example, was the process time consuming or straightforward? Explain any difficulty in obtaining products. In addition, describe how the process could have been improved.
SECTION 1: The SLP for this course involves making a personal inventory of your management skills, and constructing a plan for improving those skills. In each module, you will complete an assessment of a relevant set of skills, focusing on your strengths and identifying any weaknesses that may have been revealed through the assessment and your personal experience. You will then be asked to create a plan by which you can "grow" your strengths and shore up your weaknesses. By the end of the project, you will have a personal management profile and action plan.
Your values and attitudes interact with your personality to create a strong effect on your work life. The fit between an individual's personality and a company's "style" is essential to job satisfaction. Someone who is risk-averse, for example, would probably be very unhappy at 3M, a company that has a strong reputation for innovation and risk-taking. Understanding the impact of your own personality on others is also essential to building productive work relationships with coworkers, bosses and subordinates alike.

Complete the assessment according to the guidelines and interpret the results. Include the actual results. Based on your results, explain how you could improve your conflict management behaviors and under what conditions. Based on your results, explain how improving your conflict managment behaviors might translate into actual behaviors at the workplace? And what might be the results of such an improvement?
SECTION 3: Most of what is written about leadership has been written by western scholars and practitioners – mostly from the United States. Thus, what we have studied in this module so far reflects western assumptions and values about how to improve leadership performance.
But leadership quality, we know, is mostly about perception. If the followers perceive that a person is a leader, that person will be treated with respect and the followers will grant him the power and authority to guide their actions. These perceptions can vary across cultures, and successful global leaders know that leadership is viewed differently in different cultures and modify their behaviors to align with culturally diverse expectations. This is what is called Cultural Intelligence.
(If this is a topic that particularly interests you and you would like to increase your capacity for cultural intelligence, you are encouraged to enroll in LED520: Cross-Cultural Communication and Leadership. This course can serve as an elective in several degree programs.)
Required Reading
The following reading discusses the importance of cultural awareness in increasing organizational effectiveness:

Click on this link to Kwintessential Language and Culture Specialists. The site may take a moment to load, so be patient. You will find a selection of 20 or so cultural awareness quizzes. Choose one or two that look interesting to you. (Hint: You will learn the most if you choose a general quiz, or one that concerns a country with which you are not familiar, and then choose a quiz that tests your knowledge of a culture with which you think you are highly familiar.) After completing the quiz(zes), address the following questions in a 2- to 3-page essay:
Which quiz(s) did you take? Were you surprised at your score? What strengths do you think you have in the area of inter-cultural awareness? What weaknesses are you able to identify?

The key aspects of this assignment that should be covered in your paper include:
Complete the assessment according to the guidelines and interpret the results. Include the actual results. Discuss BOTH strengths and weaknesses. If there were gaps between your assessment results and your own thoughts about your level of cultural awareness, why they do these gaps exist? Discuss concrete actions you can take to improve your cultural awareness.
SECTION 4: For the Session Long Project for this Module, you are expected to explore some aspects of your organization's culture, at least as you see it. Since the concept of organizational culture is open to many interpretations and classifications, this assessment offers a slightly different approach from your background reading on organizational culture.
Required Reading
Debra Woog McGinty and Nicole C. Moss have compiled a short corporate culture survey aimed at identifying characteristics of workplaces. It is scored in pencil-and-paper fashion. The categories of workplace description that it generates are fairly self-explanatory.
Assignment
When you have completed the assessment think about it for a minute, and how it compares to the Academy, Baseball Team, Fortress, and Club cultures described by McNamara in the background reading. Then prepare a 2- to 3-page paper discussing:
Your organization's scores on the McGinty/Moss assessment and whether the results fit your general expectation or constitute a surprise in some ways. Your assessment of your organizations culture "type" according to McNamara's categories. The degree to which these two assessments seem to be telling you similar or dissimilar things about your organization. Anything that you can infer from these assessments about how your organizational culture fits or doesn't fit with you, and what (if anything) you might be able to do to make your interaction with the culture more effective. Be as specific as you can in the interests of getting the most value from the exercise for yourself. Your overall opinion of these typologies as a means of understanding the organization and how you cope with it - what they measure well and anything that you believe they do not measure well or at all. Your paper should be short (2-3 pages, not including cover sheet—references not generally required) and to the point. You are expected to deal with these issues in an integrated fashion, rather than treating them as a series of individual questions.
Keys to the Assignment
Your completion of all the steps in the exercise. Your inclusion of the actual instrument or results. Your understanding of both approaches to culture "types," both in terms of similarities and differences. Your ability to interpret the results of the assessment in terms of your own experience, either to confirm or to question the results. Your ability to derive from the exercise ideas about improving your managerial understanding and/or skills. The clarity and quality of your writing.
