I need support with this Marketing question so I can learn better.

Your team is a consulting firm that was hired by Phoenix Industries to create a marketing plan. Phoenix Industries is a very successful Asian company that has no American marketing experience. Their last year’s annual sales were $500 million. They want to be very careful before entering a new market, which is why they hired the best – your team. During the first meeting, the Chairman of the Board, Dr. Eugene Kaufman, will tell you what product line they wish to market in the USA.

• They have reserved $2 million for a 4-month advertising campaign in the US. They do not know how to spend it properly. They need your suggestions.

• The Marketing plan must be exhaustively inclusive, but at the same time the chairman does not have time to read more than 25 pages. The chairman is also very picky about facts. He wants to make sure that your opinions are merited on facts, not hearsay. So cite your sources properly.

• Your firm’s senior consultant recommends that you discuss the topics stated below. You are not obligated or constrained by this recommendation. You may add or delete any materials to the plan that your team sees relevant to the company and its goals.

• Product description
• Product positioning
• Target market description
• Market penetration strategy
• Market potential and market growth
• Opportunities, Trends, and Threats analysis
• The competition (real and potential)
• Marketing objectives and recommended marketing strategy
• Recommended pricing strategy
• Marketing communication (including public relations) strategies
• Evaluate the technology trends available to help you market the product.
• E-business strategy
• Social media strategy
• Importance of ethical marketing and its impact on achieving organizational prosperity

• IMPORTANT: Remember, your project must be relevant to the plans of Phoenix Industries. Do not go off on a tangent. Do not include irrelevant information. The easier the plan is to read and understand the better. Use of diagrams, printed visual aids, or anything else that would improve the understanding of your plan is highly recommended. Be careful not to create inadvertent distractions. APA rules do not apply with the exception of citations and references. You are limited only by your imagination.

• Remember, your plan will be read by high-ranking officials that will decide whether to give your company the consulting retainer worth $1,000,000. It is important that it looked presentable and professional.

• You should have an Executive Summary that in 1 page or less gives a general overview of what to expect in the plan. Consider it a reminder for the Chairman of what you are writing about. Table of contents and APA-formatted bibliography would also be very helpful to your cause. None of these three sections will be counted towards the 25-page maximum.

Can you help me understand this Nursing question?

In the assigned article, “Core Principles & Values of Effective Team-Based Health Care,” the authors state that “the incorporation of multiple perspectives in health care offers the benefit of diverse knowledge and experience; however, in practice, shared responsibility without high-quality teamwork can be fraught with peril.” Describe the perils that the authors say lead to uncoordinated care and unnecessary waste and cost. How do communication and interdisciplinary collaboration prevent adverse events?

Read “Core Principles and Values of Effective Team-Based Health Care,” by Mitchell et al., from the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies website.

please read below 4 student posts and provide response(based on the post) in each 125 words.

Project management:

priyan -The Project Management Office (PMO) is the department or group that defines and maintains the standards of process, generally related to project management, within the organization. The PMO strives to standardize and introduce economies of repetition in the execution of projects. The office is also the source of documentation, guidance, and metrics on the practice of project management and execution. In economically uncertain times, however, the PMO is being asked to do more with less, to provide even more visibility into them spend, to continually demonstrate value to their business customers, to deliver the right services on time, on budget and on specs and to manage a complex environment of technology and people.

While developing a process improvement programmed can be costly, studies have shown that the resulting benefits of improved time-to-market, productivity, and quality far outweigh the initial investment costs. A Project Management Office (PMO) is key to successfully implementing process improvements and ensures development teams finish projects on time and on budget through the use of established best practices, while at the same time ensuring the finished project or product meets stakeholder requirements. (Pande, A. 2012)

Not exclusively CAN the PMO quicken the usage procedure, the PMO ought to be ACCOUNTABLE for quickening the execution procedure. The PMO is an impetus for the business. Every one of the procedures, controls, formats, and methodology ought to have however one purpose behind existing – that is to influence the execution to process speedier (Christopher N. 2007). The PMO ought to characterize an undertakings conveyance structure that encourages venture supervisors to explore the frameworks and storehouses of the association without getting stumbled up or impede.

Can a PMO accelerate the implementation process?

If implemented correctly, PMO has a good chance to accelerate the project implementation process. The basic aim of PMO is to make a standardized process for all projects within the organization. When PMO is appropriately supported by the leadership, it can efficiently analyze the collected relevant data and disseminate throughout the organization. This in turn will help the project management process.

PMO improves the decision-making process by projecting a united vision of the project management team and the leadership. The PMO must create a blueprint for the projects at departmental level which creates a recurring process. This ensures that best practices are incorporated in the project. It optimizes the resources of the project, reducing the cost and fast-tracking the implementation. PMO defines a set of rules to follow for the project management team of every project. To achieve the strategic goals of the company, that are in sync with the corporate management, all the standardized information is communicated effectively with transparency.

The integrated process shown by the PMO will serve as a model for accountability and implementation process to achieve the strategic goals set by the leadership. According to an improvement methodology called Theory of Constraints by Eli Goldratt – a project in place is initiated to have a positive effect on the organization will reap its benefits the quicker the project is completed.

PMO can fail if the there isn’t a feasible business case and choose ineffective personnel for implementing the PMO. PMO should not have a model which loans project managers to departments. Such model will sabotage PMO as each department will work on their own projects which not necessary align with the vision of the leadership.

Cyber security :

main que :Perform a search on the Web for articles and stories about social engineering attacks or reverse social engineering attacks. Find an attack that was successful and describe how it could have been prevented

no need to provide answer for main question,please read below student posts and reply accordingly..

gangarma – In 2016, a social engineering attack was made against the United States, Department of Justice. Following this attack, the hacker released the files that he stole and made them public. The files included personal information regarding 9335 employees of the DHS (Department of Homeland Security) Staff Directory. Apart from this, he also released information of about 20000 FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) agents. It came as a big blow when the hacker revealed how he got access to this information.

Apparently he had sent phishing emails to the employees and one of the employees fell for the trap and he was able to access the email account. Following this, he tried to use the same login credentials to access the web portal. He failed to do so because he did not have the access code. In order to gain the code, he called the department and posed as a newcomer and asked for help. He was then given the code and he got his hands onto the complete information present which was around 1 TB. The hacker only took around 200 GB of data.

This incident drew lot of attention and the employees of the department were heavily criticized for their foolish act. Any employee at such an important department is at least expected to have basic training about cyber security and should be capable enough to notice one. The Department did have an access code for the web portal to prevent any such attack and the employee simply gave the access code over a simple phone call asking for help. Though this whole incident bought shame to the entire department, it was an important lesson for everyone. And we must pay a lot of attention on what is happening around us and how can we stay safe and prevent any such attacks from happening.

prasanna – Social engineering can be described as various malicious activities which succeed through the human interactions. The attackers manipulate the users psychologically to provide the secured information. It may be different types such as baiting, phishing, email spoofing, dumpster diving, pretexting, scameware and so on. There are several instances where the social engineering techniques were successful in data breach. I would like to cite the Yahoo security breach which happened in 2014 and 2016.

Yahoo is used by people all over the world. The users search for the information, use the Yahoo emails, Yahoo chat and so on. The data breach was done in 2014 and 2016. These are considered as the largest discoveries in the history. In 2014, a half-a billion user accounts were breached and in 2016 over a billion accounts were breached. This is done by a spear – phishing email to an engineer. The hackers were able to gain access to the users and stole the private emails and contacts. The data was kept in the dark web and was used by many scammers. It took 3 years for the Yahoo to come to a conclusion that the breach was done. The sales of other organization were lost. Verizon lost over 350 million dollars. By being extra careful, the situation would have never happened. If the employee was careful and not opened the suspicious email, the data breach would have been stopped. There must be frequent education and training to the employees about the new social engineering attacks. the organization must send the spear-phishing emails and see if the employees open them or not. There must be proper email filter to prevent the unwanted emails.

Please answer BOTH of the following questions.

Note: Essay responses must be 2-3 paragraphs of 4-6 sentences per paragraph unless otherwise noted. When citing your references, please refer to the specific page from the reading material (Page #XXX) or the specific slide used from the Online Lecture (Slide #XXX).

• Referring to the material and discussion assigned to Week #01, how can the methods of modern scripture study enhance one’s faith?
• Explain the relationship between Sacred Tradition, Sacred Scripture and the Magisterium. (CCC #95) Describe the three criteria for interpreting Scripture in accordance with the Spirit that inspired it. (CCC #112-114)

Please note that this work contains 2 parts:

• For part one,

Be sure to response to the topic questions in less than 12 hours in atleast 2 paragraphs (4-6 sentences each paragraph)

• Then for Part two,

Then, after 1-2 days, I will share with you the question of the instructor If he responds to the posting, and you will need to respond to the instructor question in less than 12 hours from sharing his question with you. Full credit will be given for those who provide a thorough response to the question I pose (if any).

• Plagiarism is not acceptable in any form and a score of zero will be given on the paper, as the paper will be checked by Turnitin Website for plagiarism.
• Do not just repeat words and text from the online Lecture of the reading materials assigned
• Use your own words and add value/information beyond the reading materials.
• Copying from sites like Wikipedia or any other internet sites will result in a score of zero as you only allow to use the reading materials provided.

To have a clear idea about what you need to do, below is an example of student response to this assessment:

There are 2 way I see modern scripture can enhance one’s faith. For example, from the online lecture slideshow, “To build this relationship with God, according to the Catechism of the Church, we really need to utilize a tool that is often foreign to academic studies at a University. That tool is called prayer.” I also like this one from the online lecture as well, #2563 “The heart is the dwelling-place where I am, where I live; according to the Stemic or Biblical expression, the heart is the place “to which I withdraw.” The heart is our hidden center, beyond the grasp of our reason and of others; only the Spirit of God can fathom the human heart and know it fully…” I love these texts from the lecture because it really proves that both heart and prayer sync with our way in believing in our own faiths. In fact, it really enhances to me personally my faith because prayer can give us purpose, it shows and proves that there is a higher power protecting us. The heart is what makes us human to have emotion and love, while prayer shows proof of our devotion towards life in the process. In my eyes, the secret of life is love after all. So, the heart allows us to understand compassion and teach those the values of compassion. I’m a strong believer that both prayer and heart can draw the best in us anything we may pursue or do in our lives, thus in turn enhance one’s own faith.

The relationship between Sacred Tradition, Sacred Scripture and the Magisterium relies on heavily that they are equally important and that one cannot stand without the other, being connected to work together by the one Holy Spirit for the salvation of everyone. As stated in the book Catechism of the Catholic Church on pg. 29 section #95, “It is clear therefore that, in the supremely wise arrangement of God, Sacred Tradition, Sacred Scripture, and the Magisterium of the Church are so connected and associated that one of them cannot stand without the others. Working together, each in its own way, under the action of the one Holy Spirit, they all contribute effectively to the salvation of all souls.”62

According to the book Catechism of the Catholic Church on pg. 32 section #112-114, The Second Vatican Council indicates the three criteria for interpreting scripture by the spirit who inspired it.

1.) “Be especially attentive “to the content and unity of the whole Scripture.”” Section #112

2.) “Read the Scripture within “the living Tradition of the whole Church.”” Section #113

3.) “Be attentive to the analogy of Faith.” Section #114

Please deliver the first part of the work in less than 12 hours from now

I’m working on a History exercise and need support.

We have a lot of historical precedent to consider now. Currently, this is a very politically charged, partisan, and toxic debate. We have a government that has reached a stalemate where very few of our real problems are being addressed or even discussed. Political ideology, primarily regarding the role of government, is the primary culprit.

Let’s start again with the same basic question, what do you think the role of government should be in providing for the social welfare of the American people? Do you have any suggestions for breaking the stalemate in Washington and in your state capitol? Finally, and this is a tough one, do you think it is possible to eliminate poverty? How or Why Not?

I need an explanation for this Writing question to help me study.
