Data Mining for CRM

Choose any company you know from first-hand experience or reading.
Imagine the president of the company hires you as a consultant. He’s paying you big bucks to answer this question:

“We have been practicing CRM for many years. Now we want to take a CVM approach. We want to focus only on the highest-value customers. We will encourage the rest to …well, go elsewhere.

“I need a very strong recommendation from you. You will not get paid to say, ‘It depends.’ But I also need lots of logic — i have to sell your answer to our Board of Directors.

“Please cite sources you use but do not use long quotes (that’s for amateurs, not pro consultants like you). No definitions. We want your analytical brainpower displayed in this memo.” Click here for guidance on citing sources.

Important: Please use your own words and ideas. Copying (“cut and paste”) and close paraphrasing are not appropriate. See the TUI Student Handbook (p 30) for a discussion of plagiarism. You cannot get credit for a paper that includes *any* component of plagiarism.

MGT 515 is a graduate course. You are expected to develop and support your own ideas. Summarizing or “regurgitating” from the background materials will not be considered fulfillment of an assignment.

Checklist for Grading:

==> Demonstrate understanding of CVM and CRM

==>Take a strong position (not “we could have some of each”)

==>Avoid repeating definitions ==>Evidence of use of required references and background materials (necessary for a grade of “B” or higher)

==>Use of APA formatting Guidelines here.

==>Length of 600-800 words (pages not as important as words)

==>Few quotes and absolutely no copying or close paraphrasing from any source without appropriate citation

==>No definitions and no summaries from the text

==>No general statements with “all,” “none,” “must,” “should,” “mandatory,” and similar terms

MGT515 is a graduate course. Therefore, you need to demonstrate analytical, critical thinking. A rehash of the articles will not meet the requirements of this assignment.

There are no objectives defined for this module.

This module introduces you to basic concepts of data mining ad CRM. The Background materials cover both data mining and CRM in some detail.
CRM has taken on new importance as consumers are empowered more than ever. The Internet has leveled the playing field in many ways and marketers can no longer afford to take an adversarial role with their clients and customers.

As you engage in the course, I would encourage you to reflect on your own experiences as a customer and (if appropriate) as a marketer. Nearly everyone has a customer, whether internal to the firm or external to the environment. When you work for an organization, you may find it helpful to think of the organization in general and your own boss in particular as your Number One customer.

The first step in relating to a customer is analyzing that customer. That?s the role of this module.

Rеlаtiоnship Bеtwееn Rаcе Аnd Nаtiоn

ESSAYQuestion :
Drawing on analysis and examples from the readings, discuss the relationship between ‘race’ and nation in the construction of national identity in post-colonial Britain and France. How are processes of exclusion and inclusion, and subsequent notions of who belongs and who does not, built on racialized understandings of the nation and national identity? In other words, how are the boundaries of the nation
constructed through representations of essential cultural and racial difference that exclude certain populations and confirm the belonging of other populations? In answering this question, you must draw on those three readings:
１． Paul Gilroy, There Ain’t No Black in the Union Jack(1991), chapters 2 & 3 (pp. 72-79, 85-102) , Ch. 4 (Page:114-135) , Chapters5. Page153-171, 192-197, and 209-219.
２． Todd Shepard, “Introduction” to The Invention of Decolonization: The Algerian War and the Reamking of France (Cornell U. Press, 2006).
３． Enoch Powell’s “Rivers of Blood” speech
Paper Structure
Each paragraph of the paper should be about one-third or half a page, and each paragraph should have a topic sentence. In other words, the first sentence of the paragraph should summarize the content of the paragraph as a whole or the paragraph’s main idea.
The introductory paragraph should summarize the topic of the paper, the main argument (i.e. the thesis of the paper), and the texts are drawing on.
The bulk of the paper will be taken up with discussion/analysis of the reading in terms of the essay question.
Each of the discussion/analysis paragraphs should have one main idea. Given the nature of the essay question, you will probably want to structure your paper by author/text. In other words, for this essay Question, you will want to discuss the authors one by one as you examine how they approach the
relationship between race/culture and nation.
Important:  use these three readings only:
1. Paul Gilroy, There Ain’t No Black in the Union Jack(1991),
2. Todd Shepard, “Introduction” to The Invention of Decolonization:
3. Enoch Powell’s “Rivers of Blood” speech
Do not use other sources!!!!!

Evaluation of Demand Elasticity

Business reports should be typed, double spaced, standard margins, all sources fully cited and full seven pages. Attach any referenced newspaper and or magazine articles, and download any Website material and use standard footnotes and citations. This is a research paper to qualitatively evaluate the demand price elasticity for a particular product at a particular retail location. Pick a product that interests you. ( ex: DeLonge Toaster Oven, Macy’s, Northridge Fashion Center.) Identify the closest substitute products at the same location, and the same group of products at the nearest geographic stores ( two to three). Get price and quality information of all products at all locations (some may be NA – not available)

Introduction: Describe your research project.
Section 1. Relative Price Comparison: Present the relative price information in a table with your product in the center, other products in the other columns, other locations in the other rows.
(If substitutes are in different sizes, make your price comparison per unit i.e. per ounce.)

Section 2. Analysis: Describe the quality characteristics of your product and compare them with the quality characteristics of the substitutes. Note how these quality differences may be reflected in price differences. You might also do some web search for price elasticity estimates for your product class.

Section 3. Conclusion. Summarize your findings with your conclusion about the relative qualitative price elasticity of demand for your original product. ( very elastic, somewhat elastic, somewhat inelastic , very inelastic,.) Based on your conclusions, recommend a pricing policy for your product at your home location. (Increase price? Decrease price? No change?)

Health Care Policy and politics in America

1-Medicaid is one of these countries major health policy developments, but how does this policy differ from Medicare in terms of structure, finance, coverage, and philosophy?

2-Review the ways that women have been traditionally treated differently than men in America’s health care system. Include in your discussion both the social and cultural issues this represents and the policy implications.

3-With such a large number of Americans being uninsured or underinsured in terms of their health care coverage, this reality has had consequences for our society. Describe what these consequences have been and what challenges they still represent.

4-A whole class of health policy revolves around medical technology assessment. At the federal level technology assessment has resulted in a form of policy research that examines short and long term medical, social, and ethical results. Describe how this operates and what have been key outcomes of such national health policy.

5-The Certificate of Need program was believed to be an effective piece of health policy at the time it was enacted. This assessment proved less accurate as time went by. What happened to make this less attractive, but to remain in force for many individual states to this day?
