Project Deliverable 3: Database and Programming Design

Due Week 6 and worth 150 points

This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a design document and a revised Gantt chart or project plan. You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment for which it is written. Additionally, you may create and / or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.

One (1) of the main functions of any business is to transform data into information. The use of relational databases has gained recognition as a standard for organizations and business transactions. A quality database design makes the flow of data seamless. The database schema is the foundation of the relational database. The schema defines the tables, fields, relationships, views, indexes, and other elements. The schema should be created by envisioning the business, processes, and workflow of the company.

Section 1: Design Document

1. Write a five to ten (5-10) page design document in which you:

a. Create a database schema that supports the company’s business and processes.

b. Explain and support the database schema with relevant arguments that support the rationale for the structure. Note: The minimum requirement for the schema should entail the tables, fields, relationships, views, and indexes.

c. Create database tables with appropriate field-naming conventions. Then, identify primary keys and foreign keys, and explain how referential integrity will be achieved.

d. Normalize the database tables to third normal form (3NF).

e. Create an Entity-Relationship (E-R) Diagram through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Visio or an open source alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length but must be included in the design document appendix.

f. Explain your rationale behind the design of your E-R Diagram.

g. Create a Data Flow Diagram (DFD) through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Visio or an open source alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length but must be included in the design document appendix.

h. Explain your rationale behind the design of your DFD.

i. Create at least two (2) sample queries that will support the organizational reporting needs.

j. Create at least two (2) screen layouts that illustrate the interface that organizational users will utilize.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • This course requires use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.
  • 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.
  • Include charts or diagrams created in MS Visio or Dia as an appendix of the design document. All references to these diagrams must be included in the body of the design document.

Section 2: Revised Gantt Chart / Project Plan

MRKT 310 Principles of Marketing

Week 4 Writing Assignment

Part 1 – Consumer Behavior: How People Make Buying Decisions

Learning Outcomes

Model of Consumer Behavior: Environmental factors. Student can use the model of consumer behavior to identify those environmental factors most likely to affect the consumer decision making for a specific product or service.

Model of Consumer Behavior: Consumer factors. Student can reference the model of consumer behavior to identify the consumer factors most likely to affect the decision making for a specific product or service.

Role of Involvement in purchase decisions. Student can identify the role of consumer involvement applicable to a specific product or service offering and how that level of involvement affects the type of decision making.

Consumer decision-making process. Student can identify how marketing strategy can influence each of the steps in the consumer decision-making process.

Directions

  • Refer to the product or service you selected at the beginning of the semester. This week, you want to take a closer look at what consumer factors may be relevant for customers who are considering buying your product or service offering. This will require some critical thinking on your part based on your own behavior if you are a customer yourself, or you may want to talk to others who have purchased the product. Sometimes you can find clues when looking at the marketing messages that may be addressing some of these factors.
  • Prepare your assignment beginning with a title page with your name and the name of your product or service. Then answer each of the following eight questions (four in part 1 and four in part 2) in order and number the beginning of your response to each question. Although you do not need to repeat the question, there should be a heading to separate the sections. The paper should contain approximately 5+ pages of analysis for the responses to the eight questions.
  1. Consumer Behavior Model: Environmental factors. Refer to the week’s readings and the model of consumer behavior and identify two of the most important environmental factors you think are relevant to the customers of your product or service offering. Explain your choices.
  2. Consumer Behavior Model: Consumer factors. Refer to this week’s readings and the model of consumer behavior and identify the three most important consumer factors you think are relevant to the customers of your product or service offering. Explain your choices.
  3. Role of involvement in consumer decision-making. Identify the level of involvement a customer of your product or service might use to make a purchase/no purchase decision. Then, discuss which type of buying behavior is most consistent with that level of involvement.
  4. Consumer decision-making process. Go through the six steps of the purchase process outlined in the readings and identify where marketing can influence each of the six steps. For example, if a consumer just identified a need for your product in step one, then the company can advertise how your product fills that need. Or, if a consumer purchased your product, the consumer can be called and asked about their satisfaction with the product and if there is any dissatisfaction steps can be taken to ensure the customer satisfaction. Be sure to be more specific with respect to your product or service than this example.

Part 2 – Market Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning

Learning Outcomes

  1. Segmentation. Students can use the segmentation characteristics to identify and describe market segments
  2. Target Market. Students can identify a usable market segment to be a target market
  3. Target-market strategy. Students can determine an appropriate target-market strategy.
  4. Positioning. Students can develop and interpret a perceptual map.

Directions

  • So far, you have only been considering the customers of your product or service as one big group, or a mass market. More astute marketing breaks down this large group into smaller market segments of consumers who have similar characteristics. For any specific product or service, there could be numerous market segments. However, company resources may only allow a company to pursue one or two or these market segments, which then become target market(s). In this paper, you should divide the mass market for your product or service into at least two market segments and then pick one target market you think would have the most potential for future growth. This target market does not have to be the one the company would have actually picked, or is currently pursuing.
  • Think outside your own box. Chances are good you picked a product with which you are familiar. That is a good starting point, and you may represent one target market. But you may represent a target market that is saturated and therefore not the best target market to pick for the remainder of the semester. So be sure your second target market is different enough and represents growth potential.
  • If you did not do a thorough analysis of the competition in the prior writing assignment, you may need to go back and figure out the nature of the product’s or service’s competition. This will be important when you address the positioning of your product for your newly identified target market inasmuch as positioning is a competition-based concept.
  • We understand you are not an employee of the company and do not have access to the data that you feel will allow you to discuss the questions to the degree you would like. Take your best educated and reasoned guesses whenever you need to do so.
  • Your job will be to critically examine all of the segmentation bases and arrive at your own description of potential market segments for your product or service.
  • You may want to visit http://www.segmentationstudyguide.com/understandin… for a step-by-step guide on how to draw a perceptual or positioning map. Remember to label both axes of your perceptual map. Meanwhile, here is an example of a perceptual map for the beer market, an excellent example for a highly competitive product.

  • Prepare your assignment by answering the following four areas of inquiry related to the learning outcomes noted above.
    1. Segmentation. Using the various criteria of the segmentation bases described in the week’s readings and in Table 4.1, identify at least two distinct market segments for your product or service. Each market segment description must include at least three (more if needed) of the characteristics from amongst any of the four bases categories, e.g. one from demographic variables, one or two from psychographic variables, and one from behavioral variables, or a similar scheme. Be sure to explain your choices based on what customer need the product or service offering can fill for each segment.
    2. Target market. Select one of the market segments you described in (1) above as the one you believe is or can be the most profitable for your product or service offering and explain why you feel they can represent growth for the company. Refer to the six criteria for an attractive market segment as described in course content under ‘Selecting Target Markets’. Name your target market so you can use this name throughout all of your remaining writing assignments. Your name should be descriptive of the segments’ characteristics like ‘savvy young shoppers’ or ‘educated baby boomers’, or ‘urban hipsters’, or the like. The goal is for your faculty member to get a mental image of your target market for the remainder of the semester.
    3. Target market strategy. Should the company focus all their resources on this new target market (concentrated marketing) or should they continue to pursue both the new and the existing target market as well as other market segments (multi-segment marketing)? Alternatively, is the market so saturated might they be more successful by focusing solely on an even more narrow market segment, perhaps an even narrower version (niche marketing) of your selected target market, as their best chance for growth? What is your reasoning?
    4. Positioning. Draw yourself a perceptual map as illustrated in the week’s readings or use the websites noted in the directions. Be sure to pick two criteria that are important to your new target market for your two axes, perhaps two of the criteria you used in Week 1 in your competitive analysis. Map at least the two major competitors you noted in the previous writing assignment and add any others that you may have discovered since then. Describe what the perceptual map is telling you regarding how each product is perceived in the minds of the new target market you described above. You may have to make a series of educated guesses for some of the data points. Ideally, you want to find uncontested space. If your product overlaps with a competing offering discuss whether or not your product or service should try for an ‘uncontested’ space on the map and ‘reposition’ itself; or if it should keep the same position and compete head on with the other product. (You will have a chance to make changes to the product, the pricing and the distribution to change the product’s positioning and find uncontested space in the coming weeks).

You will want to use marketing references for explaining the concepts and other references for the product or service

General Submission Requirements

  • Prepare as a word processed document (such as Microsoft Word). Use a simple 12-point font such as Times New Roman. Use black ink for majority of your work and only use colors if it enhances your ability to communicate your thoughts.

Revisit your Module/Week 1 post. Has your personal philosophy of supervision and leadership as it relates to student achievement changed as a result of the presentations and the content of this course? If so, how?………350 words with 2 references

Module 1 post – Topic: Discuss your personal philosophy of supervision and leadership as it relates to student achievement.

Supervision and leadership in academic institutions are critical practices that have existed for decades and plays a primary role in determining the performance of students. It is also critical to highlight that supervisory practices have evolved over the years due to the changing environmental dynamics and student needs. The transformation of supervisory and leadership behaviors and practices over the years has been greatly influenced by different factors, including politics, religion, social factors, and other industrial dynamics operating in any region and the entire world (Glickman, Gordon & Ross-Gordon, 2014). Therefore, the application of appropriate supervisory and leadership techniques and practices can significantly boost the performance of students by inducing strong motivations for them to excel in their academics and extra curriculum activities.

My philosophy of supervision and leadership as it relates to student achievement is based on the premise that student achievement is a direct subject of supervision and leadership techniques deployed in the schools. The philosophy holds that the nature of supervision and leadership accorded to the students can affect their cognitive abilities; either positively or negatively. For instance, if students are subjected to coercive supervision, they may likely perform poorly in their academics. The poor performance is attributed to the fact that coercion induces fear, cripples their cognitive abilities, and reduces their motivation to pursue academic success. Leadership, on the other hand, plays a critical role in setting the pace for the students to follow. Good leadership, for instance, allows the students to exercise freedom of thought, thus encouraging creativity and critical thinking. If students are subjected to authoritative leadership, there is a high probability that they will develop personal responsibility in their academic work; which will translate to improved performance (Glickman, Gordon & Ross-Gordon, 2014). Authoritarian leadership, on the other hand, has been attributed to adverse reactions by the students which also kills their motivation to study. Their abilities to think critically and creativity are also adversely affected by authoritarian leadership. The case is directly related to the coercion deployed in supervision. In conclusion, it is evident that leadership and supervision practices have direct impacts on the performance of students. Favorable leadership and supervision trigger improved academic performances among students while unfavorable practices result in deteriorating performance among the students.
