Assignment

Assignment 5 asks that you analyze what you’ve done so far. So a rubric isn’t a lot of help. Include what you think! You need to tell me here.

a) what you would have done differently in retrospect (what were you thinking when you focused on those hippos?);

b) what you’d have done differently if you were really going to do the research (maybe picked a topic that would carry you through field?);

c) what you think might have been better (and don’t spend a lot of time in this area telling me the assignments are too close together. Pink hippos are a better subject!);

d) what you thought you’d learn in this class, but didn’t.

This class is tough, because many of you have taken a research class, just not a social work one, so you as a sub-group get kind of antsy at its basic-ness. Those who haven’t get antsy at its complexity. So switching your thinking to how social workers think is probably its main purpose.

What I need today is the outline and the answers to the question located in the file I uploaded called “Questions”. The rest of this assignment I can accept Monday after this first part is done!

The full assignment is to prepare a presentation of what you’d like us to know about the topic you’ve researched. I’d like you to include images, words, and a script for voice narration; you may use video clips or music if appropriate. You may use any software programs you like to do this. Jing is a very simple program that will allow you to take a video of whatever you have on your screen and then narrate it. You may prerecord the presentations and post them, or do them live and be recorded doing them.

You may wish to cover such topics as

•why this topic was important to you;
•what surprised you as you researched it;
•how you’ll use the information;
•what’s the most significant thing you learned about the subject;
•….

Please include a one- to two-paragraph written introduction to your presentation on the discussion board entry. The model you should use for your introduction is that of an abstract. There are a number of elements you should include:

1) Your research question. What did you want to learn and why is it important?

2) The way you researched the answer to your question (e.g., internet research, experiment or survey).

3) What you learned. Include major points and some examples.

4) Your conclusions about the impact of this information on what you do or think.

If you’re using Jing, to record your presentation, save it to the Jing server. You will get a URL for your recording. View this short JING video to learnhow to attach your presentation to the discussion board entry so it opens in a new window.

DISTRIBUTION & MARKETING PLAN

 
Assignment Overview

One interesting aspect of distribution channels occurs when a retailer, in this case, Amazon, integrates backward with the intent of attracting suppliers (authors with brand names) and the expectation of utilizing other outlets (traditional bookstores) for full distribution of its products. In this example, the largest traditional bookstore chain, which also has a significant online business, has decided not to stock Amazon’s products in the hope of discouraging authors from signing publication contracts with Amazon. Effective distribution channels call for vertical cooperation, here among authors and their agents, publishers, and retail outlets. But vertical integration invites conflicts. The battle between Amazon and Barnes & Noble deserves further attention.

Case Assignment

Develop a report in terms of the following guidelines based on the articles listed above and other supplemental articles. A well-written report should have a brief introduction, headings or subheadings, and a brief concluding comment. Note that you should use some keywords as headings or subheadings such as “Facts Recap,” instead of a sentence or a question.
1.Briefly review the facts on the battle between Amazon and Barnes & Noble reported in the articles.
2.Was Amazon wise to get into publishing in addition to its very strong position in retailing new and used books? Explain your answer.
3.If you were a popular author of children’s fiction (with a successful past relationship with a traditional publisher) and your agent (another member of the book publishing channel) asked you whether to approach Amazon regarding the publication of your latest project, what would you say? Why?
4.Would it matter if you were working on your first book and had no previous relationship with an editor or publisher? If yes, why would this make a difference?
5.Considering traditional and contemporary distribution channels, and with the continuing decline of its e-book sales, how would you recommend Barnes & Noble compete with Amazon in the future? Do you think acquisition is a feasible solution for Barnes & Noble? Why?

Personal Statement Editing

 
Requirement:
As part of our evaluation of your candidacy, the Admissions Committee requires a sample of writing as an indication of how your intended program of study relates to your goals.

Please develop an essay of no shorter than 500 words (typed, double-spaced) that discusses your professional goals and addresses each of the following questions: Why is this Graduate program right for you, both academically and professionally? What might you contribute to the program, both as a student and afterwards?
Personal Statement:
There is a simple but also important reason of why I chose my undergraduate major and my career direction, which is I love travel. I grew up in an ordinary Chinese family. My parents were not rich, but they always took me to travel since I was a little kid. Imagine a curious kid had been seeing the beautiful world in his childhood, all those beautiful memories he gained from the travel experiences. I am grateful for what my parents did, which I think partially made me who I am today.
Although I chose the major because of my passion for travel, I did not really know what “Hospitality” is at the beginning. I sought different internship opportunities in the Hospitality Industry, trying to figure it out. I had worked in national park, hotels, and tour operator, in both China and the United States, until I found my current job at Tauck, which is an American tour operator. From both my professional experiences and my personal travel experiences, I figured out that all the organizations in the Hospitality Industry serve the same purpose: to enrich people’s life experiences, broaden their knowledge, and fulfill their dreams by providing the best service. As a person who loves travel and also works in the Hospitality Industry, this is also my professional goal.
After I graduated from college, I decided to come to the United States to pursue higher education. I chose the MBA program at Fairfield University and Management as my concentration. I did it because I felt after four years’ study in college, I already had a structural understanding of Hospitality, and I wanted to know more about the whole business world. The Management concentration of the MBA program at Fairfield University provided variety of courses in Finance, Accounting, Marketing, Statistics, and Management. I appreciate what I have learnt there, it did give me wide and new angles to see the business world. However, after the one and half years of full-time job at Tauck, I started to feel that it is necessary for me to get more specific and concentrated knowledge of the Hospitality Industry. To get a deeper understanding of the industry will be helpful for doing my job better right now and be well prepared for my future career development. And the Master of Science in Hospitality Industry Studies program at New York University will be a perfect match.
As a world famous university which located in one of the centers of business in the world, New York University has the unique advantages and excellent reputation to provide students the most advanced higher education. And as the outstanding institutions at NYU, the School of Professional Studies and the Tisch Center for Hospitality and Tourism have the experienced faculties, staff members, alumni, and also the unique access and connections with many resources in the Hospitality Industry. The Revenue Management concentration of the program also matches my demand to get the specific and concentrated knowledge. I believe I will also be a valuable asset to the program. As a person who has both higher education background and professional experiences in both China and the United States, I can contribute the diversities to the program culturally, academically, and professionally. After I graduate and become honorable alumnus, I will do my best to support the program and NYU. From the online information session I attended in September, I have learnt more useful information about the program. Now I have more confidence that this program will help me get a better and deeper understanding of the Hospitality Industry and achieve my professional goal.
