Define the goals of each, describe an approach or strategy to make them effective and finally, how, where, and when should he (you) best present them to the world.

For this week’s reflection paper, please put yourself in the shoes of Heiko Maas, German Foreign Minister (seen below).

Heiko represents the most powerful economy in Europe. He is surrounded by dependent countries, sometimes bitter, competing national and regional interests, disintegrating European partnerships and now the economic calamity caused by COVID -19 but not as much in Germany due to them responding very aggressively early on when the disease began to spread.

Using the knowledge you have acquired so far in the readings, identify three areas he must focus on in the next 2 years. One item must be a soft skill and the other two are “hard” areas – think trade, regulations etc.

Give your rationalization for the soft skill and why it is important, now more than ever. Where, when will you use it and with whom?

For the hard areas, define the goals of each, describe an approach or strategy to make them effective and finally, how, where, and when should he (you) best present them to the world.

This is a creative exercise in real world diplomacy. Points go to well thought out, viable ideas and not just reflective writing to complete the assignment.

Do you still agree with/follow those norms and values today? Why or why not?

Post an image of a book or film that you loved as a child. What did this book or film teach you about the norms and values of your culture (think about what it tells you about norms around gender roles and family and other relationships; social expectations and what is acceptable or not; what does it tell you about success or failure?). Do you still agree with/follow those norms and values today? Why or why not?

What key marketing objectives a marketing director should focus on when developing a marketing plan (Explain your reasoning.)

The Importance of Marketable Objectives
This weeks assignment will provide information regarding marketable objectives found within the strategic plan for your chosen HCO. The information can be applied to the Introduction portion of the marketing plan for your Final Project. After reading Chapter 7 and reviewing the strategic plan of your chosen healthcare organization, construct a three- to four-page paper in which you discuss the following:

The key marketing objectives found in your chosen HCOs strategic plan
Why the objectives fit the role of the health care organization
What key marketing objectives a marketing director should focus on when developing a marketing plan (Explain your reasoning.)
The paper

Analyze how the concept from List A bears upon, or relates to, the concept from List B.

In this assignment, you will write an essay in which you analyze the relationships among selected airpower, spacepower, national security, warfare, or joint operations topics to identify and explain the practical implications for Airmen and Space Professionals.

This assignment begins on Day 1, and culminates with a final turn in on the last day of the course.

Step 1: Select an airpower or spacepower concept from List A.

Step 2: Select a concept related to national security, warfare, or joint operations from List B.

List A List B

Air Force Core Missions Joint Functions

Step 3: Write essay. Be sure to:

Analyze how the concept from List A bears upon, or relates to, the concept from List B.

Explain two practical implications of this relationship for Airmen and/or Space Professionals. Fully support and defend your answer.

Examine the strategic plan of the HCO you have chosen for your Final Project and the results from the SWOT analysis that you performed in Week 2.

Internal and External Environmental Analyses
For this discussion, you will examine information and data from the SWOT analysis you conducted in Week 2 and learn how that information and data can be applied to the Environmental Analysis section of your marketing plan for the Final Project. To prepare for this discussion, read Chapter 5 of the course text. It is also recommended that you review Chapter 4, which was read last week.

The creation of a successful strategic plan is derived from researched data; in particular, applicable data can be obtained from a SWOT analysis. Review section 5.4 of the course text, which presents examples of environmental analysis, both internal and external, for a hypothetical nursing facility. Examine the strategic plan of the HCO you have chosen for your Final Project and the results from the SWOT analysis that you performed in Week 2. Then, in your initial post, address the following questions:

What external and internal environmental analysis data could be applied to the marketing plan you are developing for your Final Project?
How will the environmental analysis support the marketing plan to fulfill the organizations strategic objectives?

Examining Market Research Strategies
For this discussion, you will examine market research strategies and how the information gleaned can be applied to the Marketing Mix section of your Final Project. Services offered by healthcare organizations are becoming increasingly diversified regarding services offered. With this said, health care organizations rely on market research to determine their best course of action regarding time and financial investment.

After reading Chapter 6 and watching the Alanis Business Academys YouTube video, describe the information that can be derived from each of the four quadrants in the Boston Consulting Group matrix. Additionally, describe the validity and applicability of implanting the Boston Consulting Group matrix for your chosen healthcare organizations marketing plan. Based on the information that can be gleaned (market growth rate by the relative market share) regarding the healthcare organization you have chosen for your Final Project, how could the information be applied to improve marketing decision-making processes?

Similar to the cell phone example in the talk by Horowitz, in this discussion you will clearly explain the key components of Kants deontology

Similar to the cell phone example in the talk by Horowitz, in this discussion you will clearly explain the key components of Kants deontology, utilitarianism, and the ethics of care through their application to a single dilemma or question.

In your initial post, please give an example of an issue and then clearly explain how each moral theory would apply to your example. You may use the video by Damon Horowitz, as well as the material covered in the textbook, to help you in figuring out examples and applications of the theories.
