In your discussion post,analyze the following visual elements in the advertisements shown above:

  1. Identify the target audiences for each of the advertising images above.
  2. Compare and contrast how each of these advertisement images uses color to strategically attract a specific target audience (Ex: orange may be a more appropriate color choice for younger audiences but not necessarily for business audiences).
  3. Compare and contrast how the lines are strategically used to guide the viewer’s eyes to a specific element in the advertising image.
  4. Consider if the two advertisements traded how they used colors and lines. Would it attract their targeted audiences in the same way or as effectively?
  5. How could you use color and line strategically in your life or career applications?

*Remember— Analysis requires that you substantiate your ideas with quotes from academic sources and experts in the field. Analysis without substantiated evidence is opinion. Use your etextbook, another academic article or source, or a career or real-life example to support your analysis points in your initial discussion post to demonstrate your full comprehension of the topics.

Does Technology Promote Loneliness?

Option #1: Does Technology Promote Loneliness?

Develop a thesis statement built upon whether or not technology promotes loneliness. You should focus on either one form of hardware or one type of software. For example, you could target cell phones or laptops. If you want to look more into software, you could narrow your discussions to one type of social media or one gaming app. These are just a handful of a vast array of options you could choose.

Develop at least three strong arguments in addition to a counterargument and refutation (this resource can assist you in developing the counterargument and refutation). This organization should yield four body paragraphs. Using argumentative topic sentences that include your opinion for each section can help ensure the majority of your essay is argumentative. The beginning of a sample topic sentence might be, “First, Facebook does not promote loneliness because….” Then, be sure to support that claim with a point or two of researched data, followed by mostly original material that helps to explain how your research supports your claims as well as provides new insights and perspectives. Conclude each paragraph with a sentence that synthesizes the paragraph’s main ideas.

Sample Thesis Statement: Social media, particularly Facebook, does not promote loneliness because (add argument 1), (add argument 2), and (add argument 3), even though (add counterargument focus). *Note that a thorough thesis statement will include the counterargument in addition to your own arguments, but be sure to frame your counterargument as the opposition’s opinion so that readers do not think that you are changing your stance.

See The Top Ten Tips for College-Level Writing (Presentation) for more thesis statement assistance.

Use at least three credible sources (the author should be considered an expert on the topic in which he or she writes; try Google Scholar to search), such as books, articles, and websites, to support your thesis. Include a mix of cited paraphrases, summaries, and quotes in your argumentative research paper. Use MLA format (Tip: You will find useful MLA resources within the course topics, particularly in Topic 9) to create proper parenthetical citations as well as a Works Cited page at the end of your essay.

What part does external environmental analysis play in the development of value adding support strategies?

Assignment:

Exercises: 

1. What part does external environmental analysis play in the development of value adding support strategies? What part does strategy formulation play?

2. What are the basic building blocks of structure? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?

Professional Development: 

Case #3: Community Blood Center of the Carolinas: Donations, Donations, Donations

Using Exhibit 9-6 (pp. 375 & 376) as an example, complete a strategic thinking map that compares the results of an internal environmental analysis against the value adding support strategies requirements. This map will extend and further articulate the strategic thinking maps developed in strategy formulation and the development of the service delivery strategy.

The value adding support strategies provide a powerful means to change the organization and create a competitive advantage, especially because some of the value assign support activities are less visible to those outside the organization, making the competitive advantage much more difficult to imitate or duplicate. Decisions concerning the organization’s culture, structure, and resources are strategic in nature and should be made by strategic thinkers.

marketing campaign would not be successful without gathering sufficient data.

A marketing campaign would not be successful without gathering sufficient data. Surveys and questionnaires are a great and inexpensive method for retrieving data. During this week’s assignment, please identify the ultimate goal of your survey by focusing on the questions below:

  • What would you like to know about the stakeholders of the organization?
  • What information can help the hospital stay competitive?

These questions will assist you during the creation of your survey or questionnaire.

address a major problem confronting your hospital

Jack Elliott heads a key department at your hospital. Robert Corning heads another key department. Jack and Robert truly despise each other. Robert had an affair with Jack’s wife, resulting in a divorce from Jack, and Robert’s marriage to Jack’s former wife. During the course of the ending marriage, separation with attempts to reconcile, and eventual divorce, Robert and Jack even got into two fistfights—one at the home of Jack and his (then) wife, and one at work.

This history becomes important because you must address a major problem confronting your hospital, and it is essential that the departments headed by Jack and Robert be key parts of the matrix team that you are developing. It is obviously vital that all of the requisite components work well together. Representation on the leadership team is supposed to be at the department head level.

What problems are presented here? How do you propose to deal with those problems? Present a checklist for building your team.

Be sure to address the following:

  • Any legal issues
  • Institutional policy issues
  • Documentation

Describe your answer in detail, write in response to the case scenario. Your Journal entry should be at least 500 words.
