target market and positioning strategy phase 2

by

Phase 2 is to be completed with a partner. Do not consult or discuss this assignment with any other person, except your partner. Based on your analysis in Phase 1 (which includes the capabilities of the company and competitors), you will discuss:  

? What should the overall market targeting strategy be?  ? Who should the primary target market be?  ? Who should the secondary target market be?  ? Describe well using multiple segmentation variables. Include an in depth consumer profile for primary target market (can be an appendix outside of word count, if you’d like). Be sure to fully justify your decisions.  ? How should the organization/brand be positioned to appeal to the primary target market?  ? Develop and include a formal positioning statement. You may also want to include a positioning map and even a collage as an appendix. Again, be sure to fully justify your decisions

global training amp development plan

by

For this week’s assignment you will analyze an organization to draft a global training and development plan that utilizes knowledge gained in this course and applies it to an organizational setting. Consider your current work environment, a prior work environment, or the work environment of someone you know as the setting for this plan. It is important that the organization is international, multi-national, or plans to become more global. It is expected that this plan will not be perfect but will be a draft that demonstrates how you can apply the concepts learned in this course to increase the intercultural competence and effectiveness of global leaders, teams, and organizations. We will only be focusing on how to analyze the organization for this training, not actually develop the training.

Analyze an organization (4 pages)

  1. Describe the chosen organization and the reason for creating a global training and development plan. Include an overview of the organization’s industry, mission, countries of business, organizational structure, leadership, and current training.
  2. Identify at least two current cultural, global, or diversity issues or trends in or affecting the organization.
  3. Summarize the issues that are important to explore or consider in developing the global training and development plan based on the information provided in A and B.
  4. Summarize how intercultural competence is addressed by the industry or field of the chosen organization. What considerations regarding the industry or field should be made in developing training initiatives for this organization? If these issues are currently being addressed, describe how and evaluate these applications for improvements and gaps.
  5. Describe at least two social, political, and/or historical contexts (i.e., consider the culture or country) influencing the organization and the development of employees’ intercultural competence. What considerations regarding these contexts should be made in developing training initiatives for this organization? If these contexts are currently being addressed, describe how and evaluate these applications for improvements and gaps.
  6. Assess the four critical dimensions that help explain differences in cultural expectations: egalitarianism vs. hierarchy; individualism vs. collectivism; achievement vs. relationship orientation; and loose vs. tight structure (Hofstede Centre, n.d.; Weech, 2001). How do each of these relate to the chosen organization and its global training efforts? What considerations need to be made to address the expectations identified by these dimensions in the creation of this training plan?
  7. Describe the overall goal or outcome of the global training and development plan based on the needs assessment and gap analysis conducted via B-F. This should be a broad statement about what is expected of learners, focusing on the target to be achieved.
  8. Describe the organization’s learners in terms of their backgrounds; pre-existing knowledge, skills, or conditions; cultural dimensions that apply to the cultures of focus; expectations of training; and obstacles or barriers to learning.

Physical evidence is the linkage between the victim and the offender. Physical evidence can be anything from a hair and fiber to a drop of blood. Since the revolutionary discoveries in DNA testing, many crimes that would have been unsolved due to lack of evidence, are solved through DNA testing.

The California couple, Scott and Laci Peterson, awaited their first child, when Laci went missing. Scott stated that he last saw her on December 24, 2002, before he went fishing on his boat. Laci’s decomposed body was washed ashore in April 2003. Laci wore khaki pants, the same pants as her sister identified seeing her wearing the night before her disappearance.

Perform research about the Laci Peterson murder case using the campus library or the online Rasmussen library as well as other online databases. Ensure that the resources are peer reviewed.

Write a 4 to 5 page assignment presenting the forensic evidence that led to the murderer of Laci Peterson and the baby. What examination had been performed and what forensic discipline led to the death sentence of the offender.
