Marketing plan.

marketing plan will consist of a 20-35 slide PowerPoint deck on a selected product or service. The

 

Marketing Plan should be targeted to an executive audience or a potential investor.

Build a computer network

You were selected to design a small peer-to-peer network for a new facility which has three offices, two conference rooms, a networked printer and a receptionist computer. Each desk space must have a wired network connection for a computer as well as wireless access for mobile devices. Using a software tool of your choice, create a basic diagram that depicts a star network topology with a switch as the central communications node. The focus here is on the network communications equipment so include only that equipment and end nodes on the network.

When you submit your plan, include a brief (1-2 paragraphs) description of your design in the assignment comments. State any assumptions you’ve made about the kind of work being done, the demands the people in the office will put on the network or how they’ll use it, and how that influenced your design. For example, if this is a small streaming video-based news service, they probably need more performance from the network and their ISP than a small rental property management office might. Why?

Requirements:

  • Specify internet connection via service provider
  • Include hardware devices that:
  • connect your LAN to the ISP (e.g. modem)
  • connect your network to other networks (router)
  • enable end nodes to connect to the network (switch)
  • Include type of cable media (be specific)
  • Label all items (brand and model names are acceptable but not required).
  • Depict topology in the diagram.
  • All work must be original and not taken from Internet sources.
  • Save your diagram as an image (.jpg or .jpeg) and insert this image into your Word document with the network description.

Optional:

  • Detail a security solution. Is this a hardware firewall, software, or both?

Marketing essay

Lululemon Athletica (Lululemon) is a yoga and athletic attire company, with over 200 stores and a

presence in 14 countries. In recent years it has been faced with a number of public relations nightmares,

including a recall of 17% of its Luon pants due to excessive sheerness. Additional issues arose, when

founder and former CEO Chip Wilson made a public statement tying the sheer yoga pants issue to the

size of the woman who tried to wear the pants, stirring a public outcry. A former employee confirmed that

part of the brand strategy was to avoid the selling of larger-sized clothing. Additional outrage arose when

women tried to return the defective pants, and they were asked to bend over to demonstrate the

sheerness of the product. Additionally, investor concerns arose and lawsuits were filed due to executive

bonuses that occurred just prior to the recall.
