Explain what a bathymetric map is. In your explanation, describe how it differs from a topographic map.
Charts and maps are basic tools of ocean navigation. They contain important information such as ocean depth, geographic features and landmarks, and latitude and longitude. So theres a volcano below you, can the day get any worse? In the map case you find a bathymetric map of the Pacific Ocean (how convenient). Notice how many other atolls are on the map. This used to be a volcanically active area!

Identify resources the entrepreneur requires to effect formal segmenting, targeting, and positioning.
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read chapters 4 and 6 and watch the following video McDonalds Segmentation, Targeting and Positioning (Links to an external site.).
Create an assignment focused on segmenting, targeting, and positioning. The assignment evaluates a formal approach to segmenting, targeting, and positioning as a foundational marketing activity, compared to an informal approach that combines a small business launch along with a feedback loop focused on segmenting, targeting, and positioning.
Before creating your assignment, do the following:
Execute the Chapter 4 Mini Sim on segmentation, targeting, and positioning through the link, MyLab Entrepreneurship All Assignments. Click on Week 5 Assignment to complete the Chapter 4 Mini Sim in MyLab.
A formal approach to segmenting, targeting, and positioning is structured and takes time, money, and staff to execute. A more informal approach to the process requires a general view of the market that is developed concurrent with the business launch. Effectively, the entrepreneur manages a feedback loop concurrent with business activities and tunes segmenting, targeting, and positioning activities as the business progresses.
In your paper,
Identify resources the entrepreneur requires to effect formal segmenting, targeting, and positioning.
Reflect on resources the entrepreneur requires to effect informal segmenting, targeting, and positioning.
Evaluate approaches that resonate and addresses why they resonate.

Post a description of experiences or observations about how nurse informaticists and/or data or technology specialists interact with other professionals within your healthcare organization.
Nature offers many examples of specialization and collaboration. Ant colonies and bee hives are but two examples of natures sophisticated organizations. Each thrives because their members specialize by tasks, divide labor, and collaborate to ensure food, safety, and general well-being of the colony or hive.
Of course, humans dont fare too badly in this regard either. And healthcare is a great example. As specialists in the collection, access, and application of data, nurse informaticists collaborate with specialists on a regular basis to ensure that appropriate data is available to make decisions and take actions to ensure the general well-being of patients.
In this Discussion, you will reflect on your own observations of and/or experiences with informaticist collaboration. You will also propose strategies for how these collaborative experiences might be improved.
To Prepare:
Review the Resources and reflect on the evolution of nursing informatics from a science to a nursing specialty.
Consider your experiences with nurse Informaticists or technology specialists within your healthcare organization.
Post a description of experiences or observations about how nurse informaticists and/or data or technology specialists interact with other professionals within your healthcare organization. Suggest at least one strategy on how these interactions might be improved. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain the impact you believe the continued evolution of nursing informatics as a specialty and/or the continued emergence of new technologies might have on professional interactions.

Differentiate between the organizations stated objectives as to whether they are marketable or non-marketable objectives.
The healthcare delivery system is often described as a service-driven industry. Therefore, it is vitally important for healthcare organizations to define the services that they are providing; however, it is equally important to determine the demographics or customer base that requires the specific service.
The strategic planning process supports the healthcare organization by prioritizing objectives and detailing the actions needed to fulfil the goals of the business plan. Specific actions are unique and depend on the healthcare organizations services, goals, and mission. Not all objectives outlined in the strategic plan require marketing plans (e.g., purchasing land, equipment, and buildings). Other objectives may require a marketing plan (e.g., providing physical therapy targeted toward a specific demographic).
To prepare for this discussion, read Chapters 1 and 2 of the course text. You may also want to review the recommended article by Yang (2010). Then read the scenario below and construct your initial post based on the directives that follow.
