Karl receives a call from the local police, who are concerned that his son may be growing and distributing an illegal (but not dangerous) drug. Karl knows this suspicion to be true.

Peer’s Discussion Post

A personality trait that I hold is compassion. I picked out this trait because I genuinely care about other people, their feelings and well being. My family and friends always know they can count and call on me because they know I will help them in any way and always check on them to make sure they are straight. My patients always compliment me on how I go the extra mile to get them what they need throughout their hospital visit. 

My personality trait reflects the P.R.I.C.E elements of success because of my compassion towards people and my level of professionalism. By me going that extra mile for my family, friends and patients it shows that I care and that theirs people out here with a heart. This is when people are at their most vulnerable state that I get to be the one to care for them and do those things for them when family aren’t there or cant make it because of other situations or things that they have going on. I feel that you cant be in this profession and not have compassion. 

Some soft skills related to compassion are empathy and sympathy.Sympathy is feeling compassion or commiseration for another person, while empathy is when you project yourself into them and feel what they are feeling (McClafferty, 2014). These soft skills are used often when I’m giving care to my patients. Sometimes my patients doesn’t have the support system they need to be able to heal and progress while in the hospital and thats where that compassion/empathy/sympathy comes to play. They look for those things when they are not there and I can honestly say that It makes me feel good to know that Im able to make someone feel better about their stay.

How I plan to use the elements of P.R.I.C.E and the soft skills is the way that I use them everyday in life. I talk and interact with people and patients daily. So this gives me the opportunity to be able to interact and use those skills in my everyday life.

Can you help me understand this Market Research question?

How would REM 5 have a competitive advantage for using VR in classrooms and specifically cardboard VR. Also what would their market strategy be when using cardboard VR. There’s a study saying that the number of people being diagnosed with ADHD is increasing, so that could possibly be included in the value proposition saying that VR helps kids focus more(?)

• Value Proposition –What problem do you solve? What products/services do you suggest delivering to the targeted market?
• Market Analysis & Competitive Advantage
• Marketing Strategy –Note: VR and its potential future is extremely challenging to articulate without physically getting someone in a headset to experience it firsthand. How will your marketing strategy overcome this challenge?

Can you please assist me with this component?

After a program is identified for evaluation with an identifiable problem, a research design must be identified. The design describes the purpose(s) and method(s) of evaluation. The design identifies the specific ways in which the evaluator will collect and analyze data relevant to program efficacy (i.e., whether program outputs are aligned with the program’s express purpose/mission).

In 1,750-2,000 words, do the following:

1. Evaluation questions and their justifications from Topic 1. This section should include edits based on feedback from your instructor.
2. Explain data collection procedures.
3. Describe reporting procedures.
4. Describe quantitative methods.
5. Describe qualitative methods.
6. Compare why one method may be a better fit for the evaluation.

Cite five to seven scholarly resources to support your explanations.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

What method or combination of methods should ZEN PATH select?

At least 2 pages in length and in APA format.

1. Outline the pro and cons of either method. Identify in detail the metrics ZEN PATH’s
management should use to assess which one is the best. You are not supposed to
select a method, just compare them and provide ALL relevant information that you will
need to make a decision.

2. Who are the key stake holders for ZEN PATH?

3. Let us assume that ZEN PATH chose to offer meditation seminars as the main source of
additional income. They will still try to get sponsors, but the seminars will be the main
source of new funds. What is the image that the monastery should project to the diverse
stakeholders given the new changes? Describe it in a short statement (20-word limit).

4. What social media should be used and how should they be structured to help ZEN
PATH deal with its financial constraints given the choice of offering seminars? Provide a
detailed list of the social media they should use, as well as how they should use them.
Be as specific as possible. For example, if they were to use Twitter, then you should
provide a sample tweet message. Listing all possible social media is not a good answer.
You may list several, but I would like to see how ZEN PATH should rank the ones they
should use based on their importance for this particular situation.

5. Describe the key elements of the web site to maximize awareness, and attendance to
the services (meditation training) as well as to make ZEN PATH more attractive to
sponsors.

6. Once ZEN PATH started offering more meditation seminars, a philosophy professor at a
local university sent a sarcastic twitter message claiming that ZEN PATH should change
its name to DOLLAR PATH since they had become very commercialized. The message
has been re-twitted a lot. How should ZEN PATH use reputation management
techniques and social media to defend themselves from a message that may soon go
viral?

7. What metrics (both in terms of web analytics and non-web metrics) should ZEN PATH
use to assess (a) the success of the offering of meditation seminars, (b) the
effectiveness of the modified brand image to attract more sponsors, and (c) the
effectiveness of their activities to limit the reputation damage from the philosopher’s
tweet?
