,
In 2014 a fellow writer from your company was paid a great deal of money to write an 11,000 word Masters of Education dissertation paper titled:
Action Research in Inquiry-based Learning: A Study on the Introduction of WebQuest as a Learning Tool in a Private School in the Middle East with English as a Second Language.
The following information was provided to the writer in 2014 and I am providing it to you again:

Sadly for me, I FAILED!!!!
I was in a terrible emotional place at that time and could not face the re-write, I was scared and very upset with your company. As I paid a lot of money. Then I became very ill and could do nothing. Then in June of 2015, I contacted customer support to ask for the re-write, the refused and so I have to pay again.
The MARKER final comment was: This dissertation was read and discussed by two markers, and the mark was agreed. Comments from both markers are included above. In view of the evidently significant amount of work represented by this dissertation, and the evident commitment to the project, we recognize the mark and some of the above comments will come as a significant disappointment. However, we are confident that, with tutor support, necessary improvements can be made and a successful dissertation can be resubmitted. A detailed tutorial will be very important in this process.
Still I had to wait till have money to get a rewrite from your company Or I will lose the money I pay for my degree till now, and no way to make another submission. I confirm with the university that my final date for submission is 31 January 2016 – so please pay careful attention to this.

3. John Doe_Module Assessment Feedback Form
a. This was my mark I received for the submission, the comments from the TWO markers and their suggestions/comments indicative of the weak areas and areas of strength.
• The tutor specifically adviced me to remove and delete all sections/references, etc. of Big6 – kindly do this.
• I indicated that this is an Action Research project, however the tutors seem to think that it could be better re-framed as a case study, let me know your thoughts on this.

I look forward to reading the paper, kindly let me know if there is anything unclear, if more information is required, or background, etc.

Airport Branch

 

A few suggested points to talk about on why we should have a branch at the airport:
– Convince for customer
– Customer Satisfaction
– Around the clock 24 hour service
– Tap into a new customer base
– We may offer discounts or packages for airport staff so they can transfer their salaries There is a shopping mall inside the airport, there are telecommunications company, there is the ministry of communications, ministry of justice and customs who can transfer their salaries to the bank
– It can enhance our reputation, especially by word of mouth
– Benefit travelers
– Increases forex transactions
– Potential for multi currency ATMs at the airport. Currently a rival bank has one at the airport, and its the only one in Kuwait that dispenses foriegn currency (USD, GDP, AED, EURO, SAR, KWD) State the number of ATMs needed
– Our credit cards holder benefit from complimentary access to VIP lounges around the world, so the airport branch can encourage travelers to take a credit cards.
– Plot a table comparing a one shift branch to a two shift branch to the airport branch.
The transactions are the same, the timing will be different. One shift branches operate from 8:30 AM to 3 PM, two shifts operate from 9 AM to 1 PM then from 5 PM to 7 PM, however the airport will be 24 hours.
One shift and two shift branches give priority to Personal customers waiting over Corporate customers. The airport branch will give priority to customers with a boarding pass over personal customers over corporate customers.
– The airport branch will be in the banks eyes a service center, not a profit center. The main objective for the branch is for the strong image of the bank. In turn the service center will turn into a profit center.
– *** The main focus of the branch will be issuing credit cards, focusing on our Gulf Rewards program and promoting our Gulf entertainer app (Its an application exclusive for credit card holders which give you a buy one get one free package available on the app store), exchanging currencies, serving travelers and employees of the airport.
– Introduce the concept of an instant credit card issue for travelers, so they can apply for one and get it at the same time. (this is currently not available at the bank, the card takes one day to arrive to the branch)
– So far in order for the branch to operate we will need three shifts consisting of eight hours each, the branch will need approximately 21 employees One operation manager, Two Relationship officer (The people who open accounts), Three customer service representatives (Tellers), One Customer Relationship officer (The person at the door who distributes que numbers for the customer and guide them, to answer their questions) at a given time. No branch manager is required, to cut costs and be more efficent. You can also discuss the idea of a techno branch, which has no employees and are fully operational by machines in turn reducing the costs of hiring employees and it will be the first techno branch at the airport
– Discuss the concept of introducing a machine or device or a free standing station at the branch in which our customer can redeem their credit cards points. Currently they can only redeem their points by visiting our website online through their personal computers or devices. Our credit card holders can redeem their points for free airplane tickets or hotel reservations without paying.
– The new concepts may lead to word of mouth advertising for the bank and enhance its imagine significantly
– A new airport will be constructed in the soon future, therefore there is alot of potential.
– You may discuss the floor plan and structure of the branch (location of the tellers, the meeter greeter, operation managers office, the vault etc..)
– For your inforamtion, this is a list of banks available at the airport

– What will make us special between the remaining banks at the airport?
1) Our queuing system (We call it the Q-Matic) will give priority for those who have a boarding pass. You may discuss the idea of introducing a option within the Banks app where customers may choose to take virtual numbers while they are on their way to the branch, and they can see the number of people waiting in the que etc.
2) Offer competitive exchange rates since we are not only competing with banks we are also competing with other exchange companies at the airport
3) You can redeem credit card points at the branch with the new device or free standing stations I have discussed above.

You may conduct a SWOT analysis if required

Marketing Managers Discussion Boards

 
DB 2- Does customer loyalty require highly satisfied customers?
Should firms that strive to create customer loyalty work to attain the highest possible customer satisfaction? Why or why not? What is the relationship between customer satisfaction and loyalty? (The answer is complex, so think it through. Seek insight from your textbook or virtual lecture 4. If your answer reflects current understanding of the relationship between customer satisfaction and loyalty, you’ll get the full 10 points.)

DB 3- How best to market to women?
10 MISTAKES MARKETERS MAKE MARKETING TO WOMEN-1-5.docPlease read the attached blogs. Then respond to this DQ: In general, based on what you read (or regardless of what you read) how well do you feel marketers target women segments? Compare and contrast the issues involved in targeting women to targeting other kinds of segments — specifically, consumer psychographic segments and B2B small business segments. (If the blog won’t open, try copying and pasting it into your browser.)

DB 4- How can Vaseline improve its financial performance?
Vaseline, the world’s most famous — and priciest — brand of petroleum jelly, wants to improve its financial performance (i.e. revenue and profits) for its shareholders. It already enjoys 85% market share (the other 15% is owned among generic store brands that are sold at a big discount). You are consulted by their Chief Marketing Officer. What do you tell the CMO about how to improve Vaseline’s performance? Think creatively! If you get the right answer, I’ll award you the full 10 points!

DB 5- Is Nike’s pricing strategy going to work?
Nike has announced its most expensive shoe ever — the LeBron X basketball shoes, expected to sell for $315 — pushing the upper limit of consumer dedication to the brand. (see ESPN news video below.) The sneaker feature built-in electronics that measure athletic performance. The president of the National Urban League urged Nike to abandon the pricy shoe saying, “It’s the consumer’s choice, but it’s insensitive to market a $300 shoe to kids going back to school and struggling to buy school supplies.” The price on most of its other shoes are also rising 5-10% due to material cost increases. Nike’s gross margins are lower than most of its competitors.a) Is this pricing strategy smart?b) The shoes are unique, and the price will raise Nike’s margins, but is it insensitive to the mass market that can’t really afford them? Is there a way to be sensitive to cash-strapped buyers while, at the same time, introduce an expensive new model?c) How would you handle the public relations backlash to these pricy sneakers?Note: the original news report about the introduction of the Nike LeBron X shoes is no longer available on YouTube, so I have substituted this video blog about the introduction of the shoes. The blogger reveals that Nike has discounted the originally-priced shoe from $315 to $180, and then says the original shoe will be also available. In reality, the $180 shoe does not include the chip technology of the $315 version, so the $180 shoe is different and is NOT a discount from the original. Rather, it is a lower-priced substitute that doesn’t include the chip to measure performance. With that in mind, what do you think about Nike’s pricing strategy?

DB 6- Did Florida Blue risk its business by opening its retail stores?
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida (Florida Blue) has opened several retail health insurance “stores” around the state. Florida Blue has historically and continues to rely on intermediaries (agents, brokers, wholesalers) for their sales. In fact, 95% of their sales are through these channels. The stores are designed to provide convenient, face-to-face answers to complicated questions about health insurance benefits, value options and financial protection. People want to work with professionals, not do it themselves on the internet. But that is also the value that brokers and agents add — face-to-face consultation.Did Florida Blue do the right thing opening these stores at the risk of upsetting their traditional intermediary channel partners? Why or why not?How seriously should Florida Blue consider the threat of a broker backlash due to the stores?What could Florida Blue do to reduce the backlash from their brokers who may be threatened by BCBSF opening its own store?

DB 7- Alternate DQ 2: Can public relations programs get better results than paid advertising?
Public relations is another marketing communications tool. Our readings and virtual lecture 6 describe the many different PR media available to marketers. Watch the attached video describing Canon’s Project Imagination PR campaign and answer these questionsUsing slides 32-35 in virtual lecture 6 to form your answer, what kind of PR activity does the Canon Project Imagination represent?Canon enjoyed increased sales during and after the campaign, but there was no advertising involved and the campaign contained no sales points (reasons to buy a Canon camera), so what drove the increased sales?With major celebrities involved, the PR campaign must have cost plenty, perhaps as much as creating a full advertising campaign. The risk of failure was high whereas the risk of failure of a TV ad campaign is less. So, do you think Canon should have invested in advertising instead of the huge expense of the PR campaign? Why?

Client Practice

 
ANSWER BOTH QUESTIONS

Question 1

Harry Stone is the civil partner of Rock. Their civil partnership took place eleven months ago. Prior to their civil partnership, they lived together for four years. Harry is aged 38 years and Rock is aged 55 years. Rock used to be married to Cheryl and has a disabled daughter (Honey) aged nine years. Rock is an extremely successful businessman and owns a business worth in the region of £8 million pounds. The business was inherited from Rock’s mother fifteen years ago when it was worth £50,000, and Rock built up the business with the aid of Cheryl. Cheryl died after suffering complications from a mosquito bite, three years ago.

When Harry and Rock first met, Harry was a stockbroker earning in the region of £80,000 per annum, but gave up that salary three years ago to look after Rock’s daughter: Honey. Harry has come to see you very distressed as he has just found out that Rock is having an affair with his step father: Darren. Harry has known Darren for over twenty years. The day before the civil partnership ceremony took place, Rock told him to sign a prenuptial agreement. Harry signed it there and then without any legal advice. He believes the agreement stated he would receive £1,000.00 for each year they are in a civil partnership.
Harry is really worried, he lives in Rock’s house (worth approximately £2 million pounds) as there do not seem to be any jobs around in the stockbroking industry and he does not think he will be able to get another job as a stockbroker now. In addition, he is troubled that he will have no ‘rights’ as regards the child as he is not biologically her father.

Write a letter to Harry advising him on these matters advising him on the issues raised by the above facts. Ensure you refer to the relevant statutory provisions and cases, in the body of the letter or in the footnotes, as appropriate.

50 marks

And

Question 2

Three years after advising Harry, Harry comes back to seek further advice from you. He tells you tragically Honey died a year ago. He and Rock consoled each other and have apparently remained friendly as a result. Rock had been living with Darren for the last three years. However, Rock has been extremely ill and two weeks ago died in a hospice. The last time Harry went to see Rock in the hospice, Rock pressed his house keys into Harry’s hands and told him the house was his. When Harry got home he found the key to Rock’s safety deposit box in his pocket and believes Rock put the key there. On opening the safety deposit box, Harry found the deeds to Rock’s house. Also in the box was a Will made two years ago, which provides that half of all Rock’s property owned by him at the date of his death was to be divided between his daughter Honey, and Darren equally. The Will was witnessed by Darren.

Rock’s parents divorced many years ago and his mother is deceased. Rock’s father is still alive and aged 93. Rock and his father did not get on as his father always disapproved of his homosexuality and they have not seen each other for many years. Rock also has three brothers, one of whom (Mark) is disabled and in poor health and Rock supported him by putting money in Mark’s account each month sufficient to pay the utility bills.

Write an attendance note advising on the issues raised by the above facts. Ensure you refer to the relevant statutory provisions and cases, as appropriate.
