Final Marketing plan including Social, Ethical, and Legal Implications 

Purpose of Assignment

The purpose of this assignment is to help students think through the importance of social, legal, and ethical issues that may arise with their product or service and the implications of decisions made within those frameworks. It is designed to help the learners understand ethical and legal issues related to marketing practices. This knowledge helps to prevent such issues when developing the marketing strategies in their marketing plan. The executive overview of the marketing plan is not a summary and conclusion, but an overview of what the plan entails and what it does not address.

Assignment Steps

Note: the Social, Ethical, and Legal Implications assignment is part of the total marketing plan as outlined in the grading guide. It is not a separate paper.

Producing and marketing a product without regard to ethical, legal, and social considerations is detrimental to the overall success of any company.

Assess in a maximum of 700 words the ethical, legal, and social issues affecting your product or service in two markets: the United States and one international market. Domestic market generally means the market where the company headquarters are located. If you choose a domestic market that is not the U.S., then your other market is required to be the U.S. marketplace. This will be added to the Target Market section of your Marketing Plan.

Include the following:

• Develop a process to monitor and control marketing performance. This process could be a flowchart but a flowchart is not required (flowcharts do not count towards your word count requirement).

Formulate a maximum 350-word executive summary including at a minimum the following elements to include in your marketing plan:

• Required executive summary elements:
  • Strategic Objectives
  • Products or Services
• Optional executive summary elements:
  • Resources Needed
  • Projected Outcomes

Cite a minimum of three peer-reviewed references.

Include all peer-reviewed references from the previous weeks’ individual assignments in your marketing plan.

Format your assignment consistent with APA guidelines

 

Competency

Examine the activities and roles of project integration, time, cost, quality, and resource management when managing projects within organizations.

Scenario Information

You are assuming the role of the project manager for a company called SuperPacks to provide a new backpack product with a built-in refrigeration pouch and radio module. Your customer for this project is the U.S. Army, Ground Forces and Special Operations. As the project manager for your team, you will be submitting to your manager a project management report.

Instructions 

You are now in the final phase of being a Project Manager for SuperPacks and need to create a closeout plan on how to terminate or closeout the project. Management has asked you to consider the following checklist below for your closeout plan in a presentation to your team. Your presentation can be created using PowerPoint, Prezi, or any presentation tool. You have been asked to address the following questions in your presentation as you will be giving it to the management team:

1. Create a closeout checklist for your project. What are the key components that you should include?
2. Discuss how you would successfully close out this project, such as verifying project scope, contracts, administration, etc.
3. In your closeout plan, identify the type of termination/closeout process you will use, and explain why that process is appropriate.
4. Consider the control process you plan to use for managing this project to ensure quality is met.

Epigenetic Influences on Personality and Behavior [WLO: 1, 2]   [CLOs: 1, 3, 4, 5]

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, listen to the WNYC Studios (2012) podcast Inheritance (Links to an external site.), and read the Hurley (2013) Trait vs. Fate, the Weaver et al. (2004) Epigenetic Programming by Maternal Behavior, and the Webster (2013) blog post The Great Rat Mother Switcheroo (Links to an external site.). The recommended sources for this week provide additional information on these topics that may be helpful.

In this week’s required sources, you learned that while genes have a lot to say about who we are, environmental factors, particularly parental behavior, can shape the behavior of offspring on a biochemical level. In your initial post of a minimum of 350 words,

· Briefly describe the research that has been done with rat mothers to illustrate this phenomenon. Be specific about the maternal behaviors and correlated biochemical changes to their offspring. This section demonstrates that you understand what research has been conducted and what the results mean, so be sure to go beyond quoting and paraphrasing to explain and interpret the research as you understand it.

· Explain the implications of the research on parental behavior and environmental factors as they relate to human personality development.

· Based on your understanding of the research cited in the required sources, assess the emerging field of epigenetics, explaining how it is impacting the longstanding nature versus nurture paradigm and evaluating the possible promise and risks with respect to the human experiments.

Be sure to cite all the required sources in your initial post
