Thinking it through Case Study #1: Part One

 

Instructions

As a good provider, you are consistently keeping an open mind when treating patients. Doing this allows you to not become so fixated on a diagnosis

that you miss or discount important clues. A good provider will consider multiple pathologies that could be related to the signs and symptoms the

patient presents with. Along with obtaining a good history you will also perform a physical assessment to rule out possible pathologies or to find

signs and symptoms that confirm a pathological pathway.

This assignment will be in two parts that will simulate the thought processes you will make as a provider. The first part will give you enough

information to start the thought processes to consider certain pathologies that can be associated with initial symptoms. The second part will give you

the information needed to rule out or confirm different pathologies.

Think this through. More ideas are definitely better than fewer ideas.

PART ONE

You are dispatched to an Abdominal Pain Patient.

You respond to a residence at 1.30 a.m. after finally getting back to sleep from a busy shift. Upon entering the residence, you find a 71-year-old man

lying on the couch in obvious distress. He notices you enter the room and watches as you walk to him, but continues to clutch his stomach. He states,

“My stomach hurts really bad”, and indicates that the pain is in his upper epigastric area. He states his pain is at a level 8/10 and that his pain

started yesterday after he ate a large fatty lunch. He reports that he has had episodes like this twice before, but the pain was resolved by over the

counter antacids. However, the pain with this episode has not resolved with multiple doses of over the counter antacid. Furthermore, any positional

changes do not produce any changes in his discomfort and pain.

His medical history includes Multiple myeloma, Hypertension, and dyslipidemia. One year ago, he underwent an allogenic bone marrow transplant for

multiple myeloma. He states that the transplant was successful and that he is closely monitored by his Hematologist/ Oncologist. Currently his

medications include: Cyclosporine, Prednisone, and Lisinopril.

Questions:

~What are some of the symptoms or parts of the history that you as a care giver would be concerned about and why?

~What pathologies could be causing the symptoms above and what additional findings would you look for to confirm or rule out those findings?

This is regarding a documentary called “Big Shot” that can be found on You Tube

need your help in a kind of confusing and complicated task, it is about a 7,000 word (plus/minus 10%) case study, which is divided into three parts (appr. 2,300 words each), which are the following:
1. Business Modelling
2. Supply Chain Management and Operations
3. Procurement and Logistics

So far so good, the task paper mixes subject nr 2 and 3 a little bit, the second task is about procurement, the third task is not (as expected) logistics, it is Supply Chain Management.. The fourth task is Operations and the fifth task is Logistics, it will be clear to you once you ve seen the task paper, just as a reminder, an overview of the tasks in the paper together with the subject they belong to:
1. Business Modelling (Business Modelling)
2. Procurement (Procurement and Logistics)
3. Supply Chain Management (Supply Chain Management and Operations)
4. Operations (Supply Chain and Operations)
5. Logistics (Procurement and Logistics)
I hope I didn’t confuse you but as every subject of the three is marked by a different person, it will be essential that each subjected has to stand alone in a certain way, even if all the three subjects are part of a whole coherent paper.
So all in all there has to be an introduction, which will give an overview about what will be written about in the case study, the body of the paper (main part) will consist of the answering of the five tasks (Start with business modelling, go on with procurement and logistics (task 5) and lastly Supply Chain and Operations) and a conclusion which will summarise the answering and outcome of the paper.
Attached you will find the notes of the three subjects, they are the basis to answer the questions. As it isn’t possible to cite out of the notes, the writer has to mention 7-10 sources in every of the three parts.
Regarding formatting and citing I also will attach a microsoft word template (“template”), which will help the writer to use the right format, which is very important as well. Once you hopefully accepted my inquiry, I will send you further documents, consisting of a blank power point presentation and also some excel sheets etc.
The writer can use the SCOR Model as the basis of the whole case study, as the topic is about a company which wants to produce and sell a good in a new market, the writer will know what I am talking about 😀
If there are any questions feel free to contact me, I will help you in terms of further questions as much as I can.

Thank you very much and best regards,

Marc

Marketing management

Assignment
Below is your assignment for this subject. Please read the brief and instructions thoroughly.
• Your task is to prepare a report containing information that may be used for a marketing plan.
Identify one product/service from your own business or from another business with which you are familiar. In your report you should include:
o The current marketing situation with background data on the market segments, product, competition, and distribution. Keep this discussion brief.
o Market analysis through a SWOT analysis. Make sure to discuss the SWOT analysis adequately.
o Objectives with goals for sales volume, market share and profit. These goals should be realistic but may have to be somewhat hypothetical because of the lack of time and absence of market research to provide better ones.
o Marketing strategies with details of the 4Ps (i.e. Product, Place, Price, Promotion).
Make sure you explain why the strategies are relevant and how they relate to the market analysis, objectives and goals above. Clearly justify your argument. In your discussion of Promotion, you need to identify the communication objectives, discuss and justify the communication channels and the communication mix you would use to address these objectives.
Because this is a short assignment, be careful to use your word limit wisely. There is no need to focus on the details of action plans, projected profit and loss figures and controls (although these are important in the real world, of course).
Note: in a real world marketing plan it is unlikely that you would use referencing. While you might not use referencing in an actual marketing plan, you would definitely source your information from various company/industry reports and from journal articles. In this assignment you are required to make the use of such sources explicit through referencing.
o This assessment is an individual assessment (ie this is not a group assessment). Please ensure you avoid collusion and other practices which compromise individual assessment work. (Refer to the Academic Integrity Policy available on AIB website)

Operations Decision

Using the regression results and the other computations from Assignment 1, determine the market structure in which the low-calorie frozen, microwavable food company operates.

Use the Internet to research two (2) of the leading competitors in the low-calorie frozen, microwavable food industry, and take note of their pricing strategies, profitability, and their relationships within the industry (worldwide).

Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:

  1. Outline a plan that will assess the effectiveness of the market structure for the company’s operations. Note:In Assignment 1, the assumption was that the market structure [or selling environment] was perfectly competitive and that the equilibrium price was to be determined by setting QD equal to QS. You are now aware of recent changes in the selling environment that suggest an imperfectly competitive market where your firm now has substantial market power in setting its own “optimal” price.
  2. Given that business operations have changed from the market structure specified in the original scenario in Assignment 1, determine two (2) likely factors that might have caused the change. Predict the primary manner in which this change would likely impact business operations in the new market environment.
  3. Analyze the major short run and long cost functions for the low-calorie, frozen microwaveable food company given the cost functions below. Suggest substantive ways in which the low-calorie food company may use this information in order to make decisions in both the short-run and the long-run.

TC = 160,000,000 + 100Q + 0.0063212Q2
VC = 100Q + 0.0063212Q2
MC= 100 + 0.0126424Q

  1. Determine the possible circumstances under which the company should discontinue operations. Suggest key actions that management should take in order to confront these circumstances. Provide a rationale for your response. (Hint: Your firm’s price must cover average variable costs in the short run and average total costs in the long run to continue operations.)
  2. Suggest one (1) pricing policy that will enable your low-calorie, frozen microwavable food company to maximize profits. Provide a rationale for your suggestion.

(Hints:

  • In Assignment 1, you determined your firm’s market demand equation. Now you need to find the inverse demand equation. Having found that, find the Total Revenue function for your firm (TR is P x Q). From your firm’s Total Revenue function, then find your Marginal Revenue (MR) function.
  • Use the profit maximization rule MR = MC to determine your optimal price and optimal output level now that you have market power. Compare these values with the values you generated in Assignment 1. Determine whether your price higher is or lower.)
  1. Outline a plan, based on the information provided in the scenario, which the company could use in order to evaluate its financial performance. Consider all the key drivers of performance, such as company profit or loss for both the short term and long term, and the fundamental manner in which each factor influences managerial decisions.

(Hints:

  • Calculate profit in the short run by using the price and output levels you generated in part 5. Optional: You may want to compare this to what profit would have been in Assignment 1 using the cost function provided here.
  • Calculate profit in the long run by using the output level you generated in part 5 and cost data in part 3 and assuming that the selling environment will likely be very competitive. Determine why this would be a valid assumption.)
  1. Recommend two (2) actions that the company could take in order to improve its profitability and deliver more value to its stakeholders. Outline, in brief, a plan to implement your recommendations.
  2. Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note:Wikipedia does not qualify as an academic resource.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Analyze short-run and long-run production and cost functions.
  • Apply macroeconomic concepts to changes in global and national economies and how they affect economic growth, inflation, interest rates, and wage rates.
  • Evaluate the profit-maximizing price and output level for given operating costs for monopolies and firms in competitive industries.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in managerial economics and globalization.
  • Write clearly and concisely about managerial economics and globalization using proper writing mechanics.
