Your marketing plan assignment this week is create a segmentation analysis for your product or service. For this component you will be required to identify and define the market segments you will target in your plan. It is vital to your success in this assignment that you completed Module Four, including all the activities and the Elder Care Scenario.

Please address the following:

• Go to The World Factbook and review the countries listed. Select one country on which to base your discussion posts and written assignments throughout the course. The country you choose should have special meaning for you and/or be one that you are interested in learning more about.
  • Once you choose a country, you will not be able to change it, so give it some careful consideration. Only one student per country!
• Explain why you chose this particular country. Why is it important to you (e.g., nationality, origin, and travel experience)? Paraphrasing the CIA World Factbook or other reference, describe your country by giving a brief background of its location, a demographic profile that includes population and age structure, and a brief economic overview from 2013 to today.

This assignment will examine how educational policy is implemented by local school districts. Even if your career is in higher education, your residence is in a local school district, your property taxes support that district, and, if you or local family members have children or grandchildren, those children may attend that district. We will discuss   educational policy from the perspective of the local school district. We won’t be discussing unique board policies such as dress codes,  suspensions, or school start times. We will discuss overarching federal and state policies and how the local district works within those policies.
Using your resources for the week and their focus on the Common Core  State Standards (particularly in one of the nation’s most diverse and populous states), you will analyze the implementation of components of the Common Core State Standards in California. Create a PPT or other  presentation in which you will address the following:

• What challenges do local school districts face in implementing federal policy?
• How do leaders deal with these challenges?
• Describe how California’s challenges might be similar to or different than your state. If you live in California, describe your viewpoint as a California resident.
• How would you lead as a district leader under these circumstances? What type of skills do you think you would need?
• What solutions do you propose to help local district leaders navigate through the implementation of federal policy?

Share your findings, including the following:

Case 7: Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc.: Conscious Capitalism by Serving “Food with Integrity” (Corporate Governance and Social Responsibility)

Conduct a strategic analysis using the Executive Summary template.  Prepare and submit a three-page executive summary that discusses what strategic alternatives are available and provide a recommended strategy.
Synopsis of the Case: The content of the synopsis should present relevant background facts about the case under examination.
Relevant Factual Information about the Problem or Decision the Organization Faced: State the precise problem or decision the organization faced.  The section should include information that addressed the business issue under examination. This section should be no longer than a single paragraph.
Explanation of Relevant Concepts, Theories and Applications Derived from Course Materials:  This section should be the bulk of your paper. Analysis of the business problem or decision in light of the course concepts must be presented, as well as the business lesson another organization could learn from this situation. Besides citation to the text, learners must conduct research in the University library related to the top. Citing the textbook only is not enough to demonstrate you understand and can apply the course objectives. Here is where comparative and contrasting positions should be considered and examples and illustrations provided.
Recommendations: Provide logical recommendations to address the business lesson identified above. The recommendations need not to be specific to the organization examined, but should consider how other organizations, if similarly situated, could lessen the impact of the problem or decision identified. Recall, that the organization under examination has already moved pasted this problem so any recommendations made, at this point, are fruitless. The focus of this section should be on what other companies should be aware of to address similar problems or decisions. Citation to the textbook alone is insufficient for analysis in this section. Learners should conduct research in the University’s library to support their positions. Depth of scholarship is not demonstrated by providing personal opinions alone, but by using examples, analogies, comparison and illustrations from the academic literature. Not only does this synthesize the material to assist the reader’s understanding, it is an effective way to present the academic sources and extend the discussion of your ideas. This section should be a paragraph or two.
Alternative Recommendations: This section is not a continuation of the prior. Provide suggestions for how to avoid the problem or decision the examined organization faced. Analysis here should be may be forward- thinking, predictive or, most likely, preventative in nature but tied to the thesis statement. Again, opinion is insufficient to provide the required academic analysis. Sources, other than the text, must be provided to sustain the statements made. This section should be a paragraph, at most.
Conclusion: End the assignment with a summary of the important points made in the document. No new information may be presented. Writing a conclusion can be done by rewording the opening or reformulation the topic sentences of each paragraph to make a summary for the reader. This section should be a paragraph, at most.
