You are a brand manager of a brand of your choice. You have been asked to write a report for EON production’s next James Bond film set for release in 2017, explaining why the brand or brand portfolio you are responsible for would be suitable for brand p
In the report you need to provide the following information:

1. A brief analysis of the external environment and why you wish to be a part of the Bond brandscape (i.e. it is going to be an expensive strategy so what is your motivation?)
2. Explain how this co-branding opportunity would be of benefit both for your brand and for the Bond brand (i.e. discuss the fit between them). There should be some consideration of how you want your brand presented in the film (e.g. visual/aural placement? How long will it be on screen? Who will use it? Is it integral to the plot?).
3. Explain the brand placement strategy you suggest adopting (i.e. are you going to cross-advertise the film? Are you going to put it on the product packaging? Use of social media? Competitions? Etc.)

Each question above carries equal marks. A thorough analysis of the background of your brand (e.g. what is the USP? Who is the brand targeting? How does it position itself relative to competitors? Etc.) will help you to answer these questions.

You should access marketing-specific journals (e.g. Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of Marketing Management, Journal of Macromarketing, Journal of Marketing, Journal of Consumer Culture) to provide theoretical support for ALL your suggestions.

1. Policy and Planning Constraints

Locate an example of a policy or guideline from an external source to a healthcare organization. Explain how this policy or guidlines may be a constraint to a healthcare organization’s planning, or how it may shape the healthcare organization’s philosophy. For example, given that the American Academy of Pediatrics offers guidelines on child vaccinations, these guidelines might impact the ability of the healthcare organization to deliver services to newborns and infants. Using a similar example, as well as the characteristics of effective plans as your framework, discuss how proper planning can help organizations in their future decision making.

Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts. Provide a substantive response to at least two of your peers. In commenting on the policies that your classmates have presented, describe the relationship between the political environment and health care decision making. Why are they so interconnected?
2. The Control Process

The control process involves three phases that are cyclic: establishing standards, measuring performance, and correcting deviations. Examine the manner in which health care leaders progress through each phase of the control process to manage organizations. What is the management function of controlling as related to performance improvement? What tools are used to measure and monitor performance? Please describe at least two functions and two tools in your response.

Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts. Provide a substantive response to at least two of your peers who chose opposite functions or performance management tools. In what ways were your approaches similar, and it what ways did they differ?

Problem Assignment 5 Managing Innovation
Assignment
Activity
Select an item or an activity that you believe is an innovation. Be prepared to discuss
this innovation and why it is innovative, in a five-minute presentation in an Adobe
Connect Session. Feel free to show an example of the innovation during the
presentation. Record your presentation and submit the URL in two places:
assignments as you have with scenarios and in the discussion forum for Innovation
Presentations to share with your fellow students. Please make sure after recording
that you make your presentation public.
This innovation does not have to be work related and, in fact, innovations from a
broad range of fields will make the presentations more useful. As a Senior Manager,
you will often be called upon to support innovative activities in areas with which you
are not as familiar as you might be. Being able to appreciate your fellow students’
perspectives on what makes an activity or item innovative will allow all of us to
develop a more complete perspective on the various attributes of innovation.
