** attach are the 2 readings

After completion of the course readings and videos, you should be already familiar with the major features of the U.S. government system: separation of powers and federalism. 

The nation’s founders created a system of checks and balances among the institutions of government, primarily to ensure that the government could not tyrannize the population. That is, power would not be concentrated enough to pose such a threat. The structure of government they established over two hundred years ago remains much the same today. Fragmented power does not prevent policy action, as the routine administration of current national policies and programs and the development of new policies clearly indicate. 

Despite policy successes, the fragmented US  political system generally makes it difficult for policymakers to respond to most public problems in a timely and coherent manner. Serious conflicts can develop between the federal government, the states, and localities, and between branches of government.  

In your assignment, please answer the following questions (500 words max.): 

1. Do you agree that the current political system of checks and balances is fragmenting the US? Why or why not? Please provide evidence (In-text citations from the readings to support your arguments.)
2. Generally speaking, would you rather live in a government with strong states and a weak national government or vice versa? Why did you answer as you did?  Please provide evidence (In-text citations from the readings to support your arguments.) 

• Please use APA in-text citations of the articles read or websites to strengthen your opinion/ argument. For help with APA style, please visit Purdue OWL: APA Formatting and Style Guide (Links to an external site.) or APA Style Guide

The ABC Company’s CEO is interested in examining how quickly issues are resolved and improving customer satisfaction. Analyze the help-desk tickets, including number of tickets, number of high priority tickets, and average response time. Understand the causes of high-priority tickets, and improve resolution times with better understanding of ticket details.

The data in the Excel link below is from an Information Technology (IT) department interested in examining how quickly issues are resolved and improving satisfaction of customers. Each row in the data includes – employee who submitted the ticket, employee’s seniority within the company, IT employee who serviced the ticket, functional area against which the ticket was filed (systems, software, hardware, access), whether the ticket was a request for new services or an issue with existing services, submitter-assigned severity of the ticket, IT-assigned priority of the ticket, number of days the ticket was open, satisfaction with the resolution of the ticket (reported by the submitter)

There are TWO topics for Week 7. Both required. Include at least two (2) references from learning material or outside sources. Reply to least two (2) classmate posts.

TOPIC 1: IMC Campaigns

The concept of integrated marketing communications is more than just putting together good ad campaigns. It is a fully integrated set of promotion mix tools communicating the same clear, consistent, and compelling message about the offering. For example:

• TV ad campaign to create interest in the product using a celebrity spokesperson (advertising to create awareness)
• Appearance of the celebrity on a TV talk show (public relations to generate interest)
• E-mail from the celebrity endorser offering a promotional price (direct marketing to spark desire to purchase)
• Point-of-purchase display featuring celebrity endorser (sales promotion to remind consumer of product benefits and encourage purchase action)
• Demonstration by sales clerk (personal selling to close the sale bringing consumer to action)
• Facebook page hosted by the celebrity (post-purchase activity to reduce purchase dissonance)

In this case, the celebrity endorser is the common thread communicating the company’s message. The company may have decided to use a celebrity endorser who is well respected and highly visible to its target market. This is part of the creative strategy for encoding the message to consumers. In other cases, the common thread (sometimes known as the Big Idea) might be a particular graphics approach, a character created solely for the company (e.g. Flo for Progressive Insurance), or other creative device that carries forth in all communications.

Here is a tongue-in-cheek video demonstrating how advertising and public relations were two tools used in an IMC campaign. The message to communicate was how to pronounce a last name. See how this was done using IMC principles.

Schiess, M. (2011, November 7). Integrated marketing communications [Video]. YouTube. https://youtu.be/4JxVHCc_wIU

Can you think of an IMC campaign? Progressive is one example, but there are plenty out there. Feel free to go back in history and think of campaigns like IBM’s launch of the personal computer using the Charlie Chaplin-like character or Coke’s ‘I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing’ campaign, or Apple’s IMC campaigns used on every new product launch. Remember, don’t just focus on the advertising. Find those other promotion tools they used to convey the selling proposition. You may want to read most of the week’s readings before tackling this discussion topic to get a better idea of what all the promotion mix tools are, and how the AIDA model (as noted in the reading highlights in the example above) works.

You can use the bulleted example above as your format. Include a link. For the example you selected, please include the product in brackets at the end of the title line, for example (Coca Cola).

TOPIC 2: Public Relations

This section of the Week 7 readings highlights the basics of public relations tool and activities. These tools include:

• Press releases
• Sponsorships
• Cause-related marketing
• Product placement

Many companies with small budgets mistakenly think they can use “free” advertising as they define public relations. Indeed, some companies do rely only on public relations only if the unique selling proposition is so newsworthy that the news media will be the carriers of the company’s message. Apple is a master at this whenever that company launches a new product.

Can you think of any other product that relied solely on public relations? What was it about its unique selling proposition that made this feasible for this company?

I’m working on a research & summaries discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

At the different government levels, different agencies play a role. Think about your local municipality (Georgia). What regulations and agencies do you see at work? What are their influences? Then start looking higher, to the state and federal levels. More agencies? More stakeholders? What do you see as similarities that can help focus on trends? What are the differences that you want to make sure you are keeping on your radar? In the following activity, you will role-play decisions you will need to make within the regulatory framework of Georgia.

The number of and types of regulatory agencies you will need to work with depends upon your state and local regulations and the type of cannabis space you plan to be involved.

• Begin by viewing or listening to the presentation, The Regulatory Landscape
• (Links to an external site.)
• [audio, 10:22] to learn about regulatory agencies at both the state and national levels that you should become familiar with.
• Taking the position of a new dispensary owner (either medical or recreational) come up with a list of agencies you will need to interact with in order to become and remain compliant.
• Next, select one compliance rule (local regulation) in your area that might be easily construed. What are the implications?
• Finally, consider these agencies from a different business perspective – such as a CBD oil-infused coffee shop or a cultivation and extraction facility. How do the types of regulatory agencies you need to work with change at both the local, state and federal levels? Where will you look to find the appropriate agencies? Remember to include the appropriate law enforcement agencies as well.
