Assignment overview and directions:

You are writing this essay to show me that you understand each step of the strategic planning process that was discussed in our reading material. This is also referred to as the strategy change cycle. The steps are as follows:

1) Initiate and agree on a strategic planning process

2) Identify organizational mandates

3) Clarify organizational mission and values

4) Assess the external and internal environments to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats

5) Identify the strategic issues facing the organization

6) Formulate strategies to manage the issues

7) Review and adopt the strategies or strategic plan

8) Establish an effective organizational vision

9) Develop an effective implementation process

10) Reassess the strategies and the strategic planning process

Each of these steps should be discussed in about one page in length. For each of the steps listed above you should discuss the most important aspects for each step that you should understand as someone that would implement a strategic plan for an organization. You should also tell me what you found most interesting about each step. Tell me about key terms that you found interesting in each step. The key terms are in italics in our reading material. You should generally provide an overview of each step and what you have learned about each of these.

This should be the format of your Paper:

1)Introduction of your paper should discuss a brief overview of what the strategic change cycle is and what you will discuss in your paper

2)Second paragraph/page should discuss step #1.

3)Third paragraph/page should discuss step #2.

 

4)You should then follow this format and discuss steps #3-#10 in separate paragraphs/pages.

You have been hired as a consultant by your local mayor to look at the various market structures. Your role is to provide analysis and answers to these important questions that will help the mayor understand the structures of many of the businesses in his city:

1. Describe each market structure discussed in the course (perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and monopoly) and discuss two of the market characteristics of each market structure.
2. Identify one real-life example of a market structure in your local city and relate your example to each of the characteristics of the market.
3. Describe how high entry barriers into a market will influence long-run profitability of the firms.
4. Explain the competitive pressures that are present in markets with high barriers to entry.
5. Explain the price elasticity of demand in each market structure and its effect on pricing of its products in each market.
6. Describe how the role of the government affects each market structure’s ability to price its products.
7. Discuss the effect of international trade on each market structure.

Your paper will need to include a title page, a reference page, and in-text citations properly formatted according to the APA style guide. Also, your content should be eight to ten pages, which does not include your reference or title page. You will need to include at least five scholarly sources from the Ashford Library in your paper as part of your research to support your analysis.

Choosing a Reference Organization

For the Session Long Project, you will be asked to select an organization to use as a focus for your application of economic ideas. You must use the same organization for all 5 SLPs.

Just below is a link to a listing of 27 companies, all have common stock that has been issued to the public (called a public corporation), and all are on the most widely used index of how well or poorly the general stock market is doing, the S&P 500 Index.

In the left column is the trading symbol of the company, if you have seen a stock ticker these are the symbols that crawl by. The next column is the company name, and the third is a brief identification of the industry the company is a part of. I have provided companies from several different industries so that you have a good variety from which to choose.

See company choices.

Using Google will be an excellent way of finding out more details of what the main business is of the chosen company, and other general information that will be useful for the assignment. If you know how to use a financial data base you can use the trading symbol to access information, but this will not be necessary so do not worry if you do not know how to do this, the use of Google should be more than sufficient.

For the Module 1 component of the Project, please address the following questions in a 2 to 3-page MS Word document:

1. Identify and briefly describe the organization you are going to use. Why do you think it will be an interesting focus for your application of macroeconomic ideas?
2. Select three macroeconomic indicators from the link below that you feel have the greatest impact on the operations and/or planning for your SLP organization. Remember that an economic indicator measures a change in the general or in a specific aspect of the economy and you should be assessing how each macro-economic change you have chosen affects your company.

3. Explain why they are important to the current or future condition of your organization.

Assignment Tips

Company Scenario: The following scenario will be used throughout the course for your Key Assignment.

You have been hired by Acme Wholesaling, Inc. to provide research to determine the likely success of a new product that it plans to market. Acme Wholesaling, Inc. wholesales various garments and accessories through street vendors in New York City. These items include umbrellas (for when it rains) and hats, gloves, and scarves (for when it is cold). The street vendors are small-time retailers that resell these items to the public. Many of these vendors establish their carts in Central Park and other park grounds in Manhattan.

An employee of Acme Wholesaling, Inc. has come up with an idea involving the sale of picnic blankets through these vendors for when the weather is nice and people want to sit out in the park. Acme Wholesaling, Inc. has a manufacturer lined up who will make these blankets in wool and cotton blend in various sizes, depending upon the order from Acme Wholesaling, Inc. The company would then resell these to the vendors. Although the ultimate consumer of these blankets is the individuals in the park, Acme Wholesaling, Inc. does not deal with them directly. They work solely through the street vendors.

Your job is to provide enough validation for the idea that Acme Wholesaling, Inc. can convince the street vendors to carry this new product on their carts.

Throughout this course, you will be working on various aspects of a research plan for the scenario company: Acme Wholesaling, Inc. This is the Key Assignment that you will be contributing to every week. The final assignment will be submitted in the form of a PowerPoint presentation at the end of the course. The following sections will be part of the final key assignment:

• Primary Research: Week 3
• Research Design: Week 3
• Sampling Method: Week 3

 

In this assignment, you will develop a sample for your marketing research study for Acme Wholesaling, Inc. Review the details of the scenario company again, and complete following:

 

• Specify the target market population that Acme Wholesaling, Inc. should be aiming at, using demographic and psychographic variables to define who is in this market. Justify why this is the proper target population for Acme Wholesaling, Inc.
• From that target population, decide and describe the sampling method and the size of the sample you would recruit to participate in your research study.
• Choose a design for your research project that you feel will best answer the remaining research questions that are unanswered by the secondary research. Why would this design be best? The actual questions or discussion guide is not necessary at this point.
• Include a time line of activities and a duration for data collection.
  • How long will it take to gather the required data?
  • How long will each participant be required to devote to fully participate in your project?
  • Will you compensate participants for their time? Why?

1) Consider the following game between players One and Two. First, One decides whether to wear a swimsuit or regular clothes, and Two observes this. Next, the players simultaneously decide whether to go the Beach or to the Opera. If One is wearing regular clothes, the payoffs are as in the standard Battle of the Sexes game where One has a preference for the beach and Two has a preference for the opera (i.e., One’s payoff is 2 if they both go to the beach, 1 if they both go to the Opera, and 0 if they go to different places, etc.). If One is wearing a swimsuit, the payoffs are the same as above except that One’s payoff is -1from going to the Opera. (a) Draw the extensive form of this game. (b) Find the pure strategy Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibria. Describe explicitly the equilibrium strategies. (c) Briefly explain why there is no Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibrium outcome where both players go to the opera. (d) Find a Nash Equilibrium in which both players go to the opera.

 

 

 

2) Consider a game in which players A and B both have two actions, Left and Right. Suppose the game is played twice. For each case below, (i) draw the corresponding game tree with the appropriate information sets; (ii) give the number of strategies each player has; (iii) give the number of subgames of the game. (a) A moves first, B observes A’s action, then B moves. A then observes B’s action, and the game is repeated in a similar fashion.In what follows, assume that players simultaneously decide between Left and Right, and this simultaneous game is played twice. (b) Once the game has been played for the first time, players’ actions are publicly revealed. Players then play again. (c) Once the game has been played for the first time, player B learns the action A has taken. Player A learns nothing. Players then play again. (d) Once the game has been played for the first time, player A learns the action B has taken. Not only does player B not learn anything, but he forgets what action he chose. Players then play again.

Two firms play the following game. Firm 1 chooses a quantity q1, and this is observed by Firm 2, who in turn chooses his quantity q2. The inverse demand function is P(q1 + q2) = 5 – (q1 + q2) and both firms’ marginal cost is 1. Firms’ profit at the end of the game is their revenue minus their cost. (a) Find the quantities produced in a Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibrium and each firm’s profit. (b) How much would Firm 2 be willing to pay to change the order of play and become the first one to move?

 

1.  Consider the following extensive form game (attached): (a) Give the normal form representation of this game. (b) Find all pure strategy Nash equilibria. (c) Using Backward Induction, find the Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibrium of this game
