marketing

Games and scenarios can be an exciting and engaging way to learn a concept. In this game, you are presented with a scenario. The only competition here is with yourself to try and achieve the highest score possible for your grade. Read the scenario carefully and then follow the directions. Good luck!
Scenario
Two vendors, Ms. Bud and Ms. Weiser, operate on a beach. They are required to charge the same price, but they can choose where to locate themselves on the beach. Their customers, sunbathers, do not like to be near each other, so they are spread evenly along the beach. Sunbathers are also averse to walking, so they purchase one can of beer from the vendor closest to them.
Where on the beach will the vendors, seeking large sales, locate themselves?
Hint: If one vendor, say, Ms. Bud, had already chosen her location, where should her rival, Ms. Weiser, place herself? You might find it helpful to draw or sketch a picture of the beach or picture the beach setting in your mind. Who are the customers these two vendors are actually competing for? All the customers on the beach?The ones on their left/right?Only the ones between these two vendor locations?
Directions
Analyze the given situation (the scenario) from both vendor’s perspective, and present either one solution or compare several possible solutions in your written answer.
The logic of this game is quite subtle. Both players, calculating their best actions, must simultaneously conjecture what their rival is going to decide to do. The puzzles that the location game might resolve in business life include the following:

  • Why do gas stations often cluster together?
  • Why do different airlines flying a given route schedule simultaneous departures?
  • Why do New York City street peddlers of watches and radios cluster on the same blocks?
  • Why do competing television networks target their programs at bland, middle-of-the-road tastes?

Submission
Your submission should not exceed 1000 words excluding the title page, possible table of contents, references, and appendices. The submission is expected to follow an essay-style but you may also include drawing(s) and other forms of presentation in your paper. You are expected to link your analysis to course readings and additional research, meaning a current APA style and in-text citations must be used.

what is your definition of a home

Write a 4-5 page paper using the Pew Research article on “Home” to determine what is your definition of home? What criteria must a place have in order for you to call it home? Can a person have more than one home? Is home where a person is born? Can a person’s home change over the course of a life? How important is it that a person’s family lives at “home”? You can answer all or some of these questions as you navigate what your definition of “home” is, using only the Pew Research essay and your own thoughts. You can use “I” but be careful to not use “I think, I feel, I believe, to me, in my opinion, personally,” etc. as these are just filler words. Also, “you” or any of its variations is never to be used in academic essays. Your essay must be: At least 4 full pages long Use the Pew Research essay somewhere in the body and be cited Be in proper essay format (one-inch margins, double-spacing, indentation, 4 line header, last name/page number in upper right of each page) Have a Works Cited with the Pew Research essay correctly cited on it on at least Page 5 or after

CLIENTS' AND STUDENTS' RIGHTS AND ETHICAL BEHAVIOR

Counselors who work with children and adolescents often need to balance their clients’ or students’ rights, their own views of moral and ethical behavior, and the demands of ethical codes and state laws. Choose one of the following vignettes: A 13-year-old boy describes himself as being gay and discloses he has been sexually intimate with his 17-year-old friend LeRoy for the past 3 months. He is worried he may have a sexually transmitted disease. He wants your advice and support but does not want you to tell his parents. A 17-year-old girl reveals she is 4 months pregnant and is terrified to tell her parents or the father of the child; she believes they will force her to keep the baby. The girl admits she has already contacted a couple she found on the Internet to discuss placing the baby for adoption when it is born. She wants your help with her mood as she has been very sad and depressed. A 16-year-old boy who has an underlying medical disorder that causes chronic pain reveals he has been receiving medical marijuana from his dad who has a medical marijuana card. He wants your help communicating with his teacher who feels he has been distant and sluggish in class. Now, answer these questions: Is there anything in this vignette that is illegal? Cite your state law. Is there anything in this vignette that is unethical? Cite the relevant codes from the 2014 ACA Code of Ethics and/or the 2016 ASCA Ethical Standards for School Counselors. Is there anything in this vignette that conflicts with your personal beliefs? If so, discuss strategies to help you maintain your professional role and objectivity. Follow APA sixth edition style and formatting guidelines in your post.
