Which of the environmental factors do you feel is the most critical, and why?

Deliverable Length: 400-600 wordsMichelle, Elena, and the Mobile Manufacturing, Inc. (MM) board of directors know how important it is to understand the environment in which it is operating. They hired you—a highly-regarded marketing consultant—to bring a fresh perspective to the marketing plan. You are scheduled to meet with Michelle and Elena next week to discuss the environmental conditions that are relevant to introducing the new product.As you prepare for the meeting, you consider all of the possible environmental issues. You recognize that Elena brings an interesting perspective to the process because she has experience designing mobile phones for the Eastern European market, and she is pushing for a new product that can be marketed worldwide. On the other hand, Michelle is more concerned with the domestic marketplace and is worried that trying to market a new product anywhere outside the United States—much less worldwide—could be very risky.You sit down to start your work on the marketing plan, and you begin by drafting some goals that the marketing plan needs to address.Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write400-600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.Walking through the halls at MM, you ponder the job that lies ahead. Coming out of her office, Michelle spots you and heads in your direction.“I’m so glad you’re here,” she says. “Have you settled into your office?”“Yes,” you say. “I’m eager to get started.”Michelle enters your office and takes a seat in a chair. “I’m scheduled to make a presentation to the board at the quarterly meeting next week. I know it’s short notice, but I was wondering if you could pull together a 30-minute presentation for them?” she asks.“What would you like me to present?” you ask.“As you know, you and Elena have been brought on to revitalize the product line for the company. Your role is to create a winning marketing plan that will allow us to capitalize on the new product that Elena is designing. The board would like you to discuss some of the issues that you will be considering as you develop the marketing plan for the new product. I know they’re especially interested in your thoughts on the global market.”“That sounds like a great idea,” you say.Consider the environmental variables (i.e., technological, demographic, economic, political, and cultural variables) that you must include in your marketing plan, and answer the following:Which of the environmental factors do you feel is the most critical, and why?What might someone with an opposing viewpoint think is the most important?Given this opposing argument, how would you argue your opinion?What solutions should be considered as you seek to develop a sense of ownership of your plan?What solutions would you recommend to the board, and why?Is a compromise feasible?

He obtained data from 30 men (10 men who had high social media usage and 10 men who had moderate social media usage and 10 who did not use social media much) and 30 women volunteers (10 women scored high on social media usage, 10 women moderately used the social media, and 10 scored low on social media usage) in their freshman year. Jason administered the Revised UCLA 20 item loneliness scale to measure subjective feelings of loneliness and social isolation to these 60 participants. A high score on the scale indicates higher feelings of loneliness. Participants rate each item on a scale from 1 (Never) to 4 (Often). There are two independent variables in the study (social media usage and gender) and one dependent variable, which is loneliness. The design for the study can be described as 3*2 ANOVA, number of levels of social media usage (low, moderate, high social media use) and number of levels of gender (males vs females).1. Before opening the data, what would you hypothesize about this research study?2. Conduct descriptive analyses (mean, Standard deviation) and report them here. What would you interpret based on the Mean values?3. Conduct a Two-Way ANOVA. Report your statistical findings (including any applicable tables or figures in APA format).a. Are there any significant main effects?b. Is the interaction effect significant?4. What would you conclude from this analysis? Is your hypothesis supported?5. What would be your next steps, if this were your research project? What follow up tests will you conduct? What would the follow up tests indicate?6. Create a boxplot to show the interaction effect between gender and social media usage on loneliness.Submit the SPSS output file in a PDF to show the work you have done. Also submit a separate Word file describing the results in APA. Incorporate relevant table(s) and figure/graph(s) in the Word document formatted in APA style.

Analyze the technical evolution of digital piracy including the impact of new digital formats such as CD, DVD, MP3, and MP4 to intellectual property piracy.

Evolution of Piracy and Corresponding LegislationPrior to beginning work on this assignment, read Chapter 5 in the textbook and view the Digital (Links to an external site.)Piracy(Links to an external site.)(Links to an external site.) and Steve Wozniak: Digital Piracy(Links to an external site.) videos. You must include at least one additional scholarly and/or professional source for your paper. You may wish to review the recommended resources for this week for assistance with this research. You may also access the MSCJ Professional Sources(Links to an external site.) guide for assistance with finding appropriate resources.Theft of intellectual property, such as music and video recordings, has been commonplace for many years. During the 1970s and 1980s portable inexpensive recording devices made piracy of video and music relatively easy to accomplish. With the advent of the MP3 and MP4 formats utilized to compress large files for data storage and portability, piracy has flourished. Motion pictures, music, and data can now be easily accessed via small personal computerized devices such as cellular phones, tablets, and MP3 players. In addition, large files can be easily stored on digital flash drives often no bigger than a coin. This has enabled digital pirates to safely store movies, music, and data for transport to locations on a global scale.In this paper, you mustAnalyze the technical evolution of digital piracy including the impact of new digital formats such as CD, DVD, MP3, and MP4 to intellectual property piracy.Explain the growth of innovative file sharing such as peer-to-peer (P2P) and Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and their impact on the methods for detecting and preventing intellectual property piracy.Trace the evolution of legislation and organizations such as the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the Copyright Act of 1976, No Electronic Theft (NET) Act, and Directive 91/250/EEC/2009/24/EC designed to curtail and prevent digital piracy.The Evolution of Piracy and Corresponding Legislation paper:Must be three to five double-spaced pages (750-1,250 words) in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Writing Center(Links to an external site.).Must include a separate title page with the following:Title of paperStudent’s nameCourse name and numberInstructor’s nameDate submittedMust use at least three scholarly sources in addition to the course text.Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Writing Center.Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Writing Center.Required ResourcesTextHolt, T.
