Complete the following tasks:

  • Research and discuss 1 piece of federal legislation that has affected the use of medical technology.

Describe the household lifecycle and why it is a useful way to segment the market.

Task
Write a report demonstrating how household decisions to go on holidays are influenced by their stage in the household lifecycle.
 
Specifically, pick a resort or caravan park; pick two stages in the household lifecycle for that accommodation to target. Then explain how the accommodations positioning and marketing mix (4p’s) would need to differ for each of the segments (stages of the HLC) chosen, use theory and evidence to justify your choices.
 
In your answer you should choose a resort or caravan park that holds fond memories for you or choose a destination that you look forward to one day visiting and use this as the context for your discussion. If they have more than one product or service, please choose one to focus on. (E.g. P&O cruises offer a wide range of services, choose one specific example to one location on one specific ship).
This is a 5 step process
Step 1: Background
Identify the resort or caravan park you have chosen and provide a brief description of the accommodation, including the service/s they offer. (Use sources to support this description)
Step 2: Theory
Describe the household as a purchasing unit. Describe the household lifecycle and why it is a useful way to segment the market. Pick two stages in the household lifecycle to target and briefly describe / profile each. (Use academic sources to provide evidence)
 
Step 3: Application
Describe the Product Positioning and Marketing Mix you would use to increase business from each of the two stages you have chosen.  You need to justify each of the choices that you make using theory. Also the choices should be consistent with the nature of the accommodation
NB: Remember to link back to the original question (above)
Step 4: Reference
Create a reference list using APA 6th style (a short CSU guide to APA referencing is provided in your Resources folder on interact) and make sure all of the articles that you have cited in the report are included in the list.
More information about referencing is available at –https://student.csu.edu.au/study/referencing-at-csu
You are expected to use at least 6 academic sources for this assignment
Step 5: Submit the report via www.turnitin.com
Rationale

 

The objective of this assessment is for students to demonstrate their ability to:
  • Predict consumer behaviour using relevant models
  • Apply consumer behaviour theory to real life situations
  • Apply consumer behaviour theory to marketing strategy
  • Communicate the nature and function of consumer behaviour in the market place
  • Demonstrate broad reading around subject content

Explain how your layered design compensates for possible device failures or breaches in network security.

 

This term paper involves putting together the various concepts learned throughout this course. You are tasked with designing the most secure network possible, keeping in mind your goal of supporting three (3) IT services: email, file transfer (centralized), and VPN. Your first step is to design a single network capable of supporting there three (3) different services. Once you have fully designed your network, you will need to provide three (3) workflow diagrams explaining how your designed network handles the three (3) different transactions. The first is an internal user sending an email using his / her corporate email address to a user on the Yahoo domain with an arbitrary address of user534@yahoo.com. The second workflow diagram should show a user initiating an FTP session from inside your network to the arbitrary site of ftp.netneering.com. The third workflow is an externally located employee initiating a VPN session to corporate in order to access files on the Windows desktop computer, DT-Corp534-HellenS, at work.

 

Write a ten to fifteen (10-15) page paper in which you complete the following three (3) Parts. Note: Please use the following page breakdown to complete your assignment:

  • Overall network diagram: One (1) page
  • Datapath diagrams: Three (3) pages (one for each diagram)
  • Write-up: six to ten (6-10) pages

 

Part 1

1a.  Using Microsoft Visio or its open source alternative, create a diagram showing the overall network you’ve designed from the user or endpoint device to the Internet cloud, and everything in between, in which you:

    1. Follow the access, core, distribution layer model.
    2. Include at a minimum:

·   Authentication server (i.e. Microsoft Active Directory)

·   Routers

·   Switches (and / or hubs)

·   Local users

·   Remote users

·   Workstations

·   Files share (i.e. CIFS)

·   Mail server

·   Web servers (both internal and external)

·   Firewalls

·   Internet cloud

·   Web proxy

·   Email proxy

·   FTP server (for internal-to-external transport)

  1. Explain each network device’s function and your specific configuration of each networking device.
  2. Design and label the bandwidth availability or capacity for each wired connection.

     

    Part 2

 

  1. Using Microsoft Visio or its open source alternative, create a Datapath Diagram for the following scenario:

    Local user sends email to a Yahoo recipient. Local (corporate) user having email address jonny.hill@Corp534.com sends an email to user534@yahoo.com.

 

    1. Document and label the diagram showing protocols and path of the data flow as data traverses through your network from source to destination.
    2. Include path lines with arrows showing directions and layer 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 (OSI) protocols that are used for each flow.
    3. Show user authentication when necessary.

 

  1. Using Microsoft Visio or its open source alternative, create a Datapath Diagram for the following scenario:

    Local user, Jonny Hill, transfers file using ftp through the Internet to another company’s site (ftp.netneering.com). He has to access the secure shell using his active directory credentials to authenticate to the ftp server (linux running Redhat) on the DMZ. He needs to transfer files from his desktop across the Internet to ftp.netneering.com.

 

    1. Document and label the diagram showing protocols and path of the data flow as data traverses through your network from source to destination.
    2. Include path lines with arrows showing directions and layer 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 (OSI) protocols that are used for each flow.
    3. Show user authentication when necessary.

 

  1. Using Microsoft Visio or its open source alternative, create a Datapath Diagram for the following scenario:

    Remote user, Hellen Stover, connects via VPN from home through the Internet to her corporate desktop, DT-Corp534-HellenS. Hellen uses a browser to initiate her VPN connection. By browsing to https://VPNaccess.corp534.com, she arrives at a login page where she needs to authenticate using her Active Directory credentials before the VPN tunnel is built.

 

  1. Document and label the diagram showing protocols and path of the data flow as data traverses through your network from source to destination.
  2. Include path lines with arrows showing directions and layer 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 (OSI) protocols that are used for each flow.
  3. Show user authentication when necessary.

    • Are there other contemporary models out there like Maslow’s? If so, explain what it is.

Your submitted assignment  must include the following:

  • A typed document of 2–3 pages that covers the guidelines listed above.
    • Include any references using APA format.
    • APA: Deliverable is cited properly according to the APA PublicationManual (6th ed.)
