In Weeks 2 and 3, you examined three sources of innovation: open, lead user and disruptive. By Wednesday (Day 7), post a maximum 250-word Individual Summary, in which you consider innovation from a strategic perspective to discuss how changes in the external environment can impact on these innovation sources. In particular, consider briefly how political, economic and legal changes can influence how organisations access open and lead-user sources of innovation.
parable paper assignment:
Drawing on Roland Marchand’s text “The Great Parables,” you are to identify a narrative or visual cliché in advertising from a single decade between 1900-1990, and to analyze it as a ‘parable’ along the lines established by Marchand. You need to go beyond simply identifying the parable or narrative; you are expected to analyse its larger meaning in relation to its historical period.
**Your parable must NOT be one of those discussed by Marchand: you are expected to identify and develop your own parable***
In choosing your 2-3 examples of ads, you will likely want to consult the book series All-American Ads (Taschen books), on reserve at the OCAD library. These include a wide range of print advertisements, and are helpfully separated by decade.*You must indicate a source for your ad examples (where you found them); if you are including a tv/online clip in your examples, please provide a URL so that I can access the ad.
In an essay of approximately 5-6 double-spaced typed pages, you will:
Identify and describe your chosen ‘parable’ or ‘visual cliché’;
Analyse 2-3 ads from your chosen decade in terms of how they express this parable;
Give some historical context/background through which we can understand the power of this parable at the time;
Briefly discuss the significance and contemporary life of this parable. Is it still with us? Does it take a different form today? Why?
Your project should be accompanied by reproductions (black and white photocopies are okay) of your chosen advertisements (these are not included in page length).
You must properly reference any sources quoted, paraphrased or otherwise utilised in your writing.
a brief contextualization of the topic from the literature (e.g., marketing ethics, consumer behaviour, marketing entry strategies, etc.),
a critical discussion of the different positions based on the contextualization, and
a concluding statement and outlook derived from your discussion
The task is:
The suggestion that organizations should focus on the needs and wants of their customers – and of consumers more generally – may be thought of as one of marketing’s more prominent achievements. Critically discuss this notion by making particular reference to some of the strategic challenges potentially arising from an organization (a) not focusing sufficiently on consumer needs, or (b) placing a strong emphasis on the current needs of consumers.
Whichever approach you take, you must focus appropriately and with enough detail to show you understand the context (and the relevant literature) properly.
You must explain why you are addressing the question you way you are answering it to make yourself clear.
Compare and contrast the self portraits of/by Rembradt and Vincent van Gogh, discussing in depth similarities and differences between two works of art ( or more)by each artist. Examine their similarities and difference in the content of their time period, country, and culture.
It has been said that host-governments ‘concedes’ control or sovereign rights over their countries’
natural resources to foreign oil companies.
Your task is to critically evaluate on whether this statement is still applicable in the present climate of the global oil and gas industry.
NB: Your evaluation must reveal evidence of sufficient reading and research, and, must refer to industry related academic journals and articles adequately.
Writing to Solve Problems
Assignment: Think about some problem in your community, such as litter that does not get picked up, gang violence, job losses, high housing prices, a lack of parks, or big-box stores moving in or closing down, propose a feasible solution to this problem, and justify your solution with reasons and evidence. To brainstorm ideas, think about what is problematic in your community or what seems to be a pressing problem, what has been done so far to resolve it, what solutions have been suggested, what your solution is to this problem, and why your solution is the best one.
Overused Topics: Unless you have a personal connection to the topic and have obtained permission from your instructor, don’t focus your project on any of following issues, as they either a) are too generic or common, b) don’t promote creative idea generation, or c) lack sufficient depth. Instead, challenge yourself to research and learn about a topic that you don’t know much about.
Abortion, death penalty, decriminalization of marijuana, euthanasia, eating disorders or body image, global warming, negative effects of the media, religion or God, stem cells or cloning, steroids, recycling, homelessness, gun control, sex education, animal testing, gay marriage, immigration, vaccination.
Part 1: Specifics of the Proposal:
1. Your argument should have the following features:
– Description of the problem (Persuade your audience that this is a genuine problem that needs solving; give it presence; explain why it is a serious problem that needs to be resolved.)
– Description of the best solution (a proposal for action) that will help alleviate the problem (Show your audience that your solution is logical, feasible, and practical; give details as to how it will be executed.)
– Justification of the solution (Give 2-3 reasons why your audience should accept your proposal and act on it; what reasons would they be more likely to accept?)
– Description of 2-3 alternative solutions that have been suggested by others previously, followed by an explanation of why yours is more effective than those in resolving the problem
– Summarization of the concerns and objections that your audience may bring up, followed by your rebuttal (Address 2-3 counter-arguments.)
2. Since proposals aim to bring about change, your audience should be decision-makers, people in power who can implement your solution and make that change happen. Remember that your voice, justifying reasons, and evidence should be geared towards this specific audience.
3. You must use at least 6 academic and credible sources to support your opinions. At least 3 of these sources should be from ASU library databases. They should be incorporated into the essay effectively by using signal phrases and cited correctly. (If you haven’t already, make sure to watch the videos in the “Research Help” and “Documenting Sources” modules for reference.)
Length: 1500-2000 words of typed text (excluding the References list) and in APA style. It must be submitted as a Word document as doc, docx, or rtf file — not pages or odt.
Note: For this project, besides an academic essay, you can also pick another genre that might be more suitable to present your proposal for the audience you are targeting. Possible genres are discussed in chapter 12; for example, you may consider writing it in the form of a letter, newspaper article/editorial, magazine article, detailed memo, etc. Think about your audience and their expectations to determine which form of text you need to use. Regardless of the genre you choose, the written text must meet the length, number of sources, and citation requirements.
1. Abstract: Describe the content of your paper in 5-10 sentences
2. Introduction:
a. State the question you are examining and why it is worth studying
b. List the subtopics into which your paper is organized.
3. Description of Research.
Describe the methods investigators have used to study each subtopic. Summarize results, if any, between results from different studies, and try to suggest reasons for these conflicts. Cite studies by author and year in the body of your paper, not in footnotes at the bottom of the page or at the end of the paper. For example, “According to Yost and Sehft (1993), auditory processing in children develops…”. Avoid long words for word quotes from articles.
4. Conclusion: Summarize the important points raised in your paper. Discuss the theoretical and/or practical implications of the studies you have analyzed. Do the data support any broad hypothesis?
5. References: List all the articles and books to which you have referred in the body of the paper in this section.
Formats
– Books: Authors (date) Title. Publisher
– Journal Articles: Authors (date). Title. Journal, volume number, pages.
Make sure reference include at least one primary source in the last three years in a scientific journal.
Plus, I wrote my topic paragraph like this:
<Age Related Hearing Loss>
I plan to research the question of why we lose our hearing, as we get older. I will focus on the physiological methods used to study this issue. The journal article I have consulted so far is: Tesch Romer, C. (1997). Psychological Effects of Hearing Aid Using Older Adults. Journal of Gerotology: Psychological Sciences, 52B, 127-138
My teacher gave me an article and the argument. We need to think the Premise is weak or not and why ? And conclusion about reasonable or not?and why . In second part write about own opinion about issue
Please use your own words to answer these following questions, and try to expand your explanation detailed.
Chapter Discussion Questions #5 – Chapters 6, 7 & 8
