Discussion Forum 5: Creating Brand Names

In Discussion Forum 5, post your response to the following discussion topic. Reply to at least two classmates’ responses by the date indicated in the Course Calendar.

For marketers, brand names are valuable assets that must be selected with care. Some companies hire a specialized marketing research firm to create and test potential brand names, whereas others prefer to handle the process internally. Now “do-it-yourself” marketers can use brand-name-development technology offered by Namestormers. (Note: You may wish to use other comparable sites as well as this one.)

The company’s Web site http://www.namestormers.com explains how its NamePro software can be used to generate brand names and offers a few downloadable demonstrations. Also on the Web site is an explanation of NameWave, a Web-based service that presents up to 40 brand-name ideas for products in categories selected by the user.

What are the advantages of using NamePro or NameWave? What are the disadvantages? If you were responsible for developing a product’s brand name, would you choose one of these options? Why or why not?

Describe several points from the article with which you agree or disagree.

For this assignment, you will read the article that addresses how terminating the employer-employee relationship can be one of the riskiest tasks for an employer. It should discuss the many possible impacts of the termination as well as numerous potential legal hurdles. After choosing your article, briefly summarize the purpose of the article and answer the following questions:

What is the authors main point, and what evidence is used to support it?
How does the termination of the employer-employee relationship create risk and legal issues?
How do exceptions to the employment-at-will doctrine factor into termination decisions?
Begin with an introduction that defines the subject of your critique and your point of view. Identify if your point of view conflicts or agrees with the ideas and point of view of the articles author.

You should then defend your point of view by raising specific issues or aspects of the argument. Offer your own opinion. Explain what you think about the argument. Describe several points from the article with which you agree or disagree. What evidence from the article, your textbook, or additional sources supports your opinion?

What type of graph would you use to display the organized data from each frequency distribution?

Suppose that you have two sets of data to work with. The first set is a list of all the injuries that were seen in a clinic in a month’s time. The second set contains data on the number of minutes that each patient spent in the waiting room of a doctor’s office. You can make assumptions about other information or variables that are included in each data set.

For each data set, propose your idea of how best to represent the key information. To organize your data would you choose to use a frequency table, a cumulative frequency table, or a relative frequency table? Why?

What type of graph would you use to display the organized data from each frequency distribution? What would be shown on each of the axes for each graph?

How would you describe the problem from each theoretical orientation?
