· Price / quality relationship
· Perceived quality / value
· Image
· Product differentiation
· Reducing consumer’s perceived risk. These will include time, money, functionality, and cognitive dissonance / post-purchase evaluation.
·
By 1/20/18 12PM (Noon) PST submit your response to the appropriate Discussion Area.
Organizational Structure
Refer to the video on Organizational Structure. All organizations need some type of structure to define team roles and responsibilities, also known as ‘subsystems’ (think of the individual departments in an organization, for example).
You are charged with forming a team to organize and implement a fundraiser for a family in need. Name 3-4 subsystems you would to need to create within the team (system)? Why did you select these?
In response to this case study scenario you must submit a 3 page paper (not including your cover page or reference page), double spaced and in APA style and format. Upload your response as a Word file.
For this submission no additional reference will be necessary, but those including one more authentic reference (FSW accessed peer reviewed journal, e-book, etc.) is likely to be to your advantage.
Bible essay
Please see below questions and use the following reference books:
Kushner, H. (2002). When all you’ve ever wanted isn’t enough: The search for a life that matters. New York, NY: Simon & Schuster.
Schwehn, M. R., & Bass, D. C. (Eds.). (2006). Leading lives that matter: What we should do and who we should be. Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans.
A Bible: Seek a modern translation from the original languages as opposed to a translation of a translation.
1) Kushner writes, “I suspect that most people most of the time do not feel happy?” Do you think Kushner is right? Why or why not? Does this statement apply to you?
2) Having read the book of Ecclesiastes and now knowing there is a book like this in the Bible, do you think any differently about the Bible? Do you think any differently about the Christian religion?
3) How do you deal with pain in your life, be it physical, emotional, intellectual, or spiritual? Can you see healthier ways to deal with it?
4) Can a person ever be too educated or know too much?
5) In what ways do you belong to people?
6) What makes you feel fully human?

Organisation is the procedure of constructing an outline that acts as a plan for your writing task. An outline forces you to think before you write.
Your essay is to be structured and written as a business report. It, therefore, must begin with a Management (or Executive) Summary within which you state in stark form (i.e. unsupported by argument) what you are asserting in this report and you must do that in less than two pages. You can begin the main body of the report with some general background followed by a description and discussion of significance of the specific issues considered. This introduction will normally end with a brief paragraph outlining the plan of the rest of the essay. The next section which could be divided into 2-4 sub-sections if necessary contains an in-depth discussion of the relevant issues based on the existing literature and/or data. You must provide in-text references to your sources. The last section contains a brief summary followed by a complete list of references that are cited in the text of
the essay. Follow a standard referencing method consistently.
Suggested limits are as follows: Executive Summary: ideally one page but no more than two. Sections 1: Introduction 400-600 words, Section 2: Main body of the essay 2,000-2,500 words, Sections 3: Conclusions 100-300 words, References (5-15 references).

Unit I Essay
James Hampton was a janitor by day and an artist by night. Unbeknownst to many people, he started creating The Throne of the Third Heaven of the Nations Millennium General Assembly sometime after World War II in a rented garage in preparation for the second coming of Jesus Christ. Hampton essentially used junk furniture, cardboard, plastics, and foil pieced together with glue, tape, and tacks to create tables, crowns, lecterns, altars, and bishop’s chairs. Hampton also kept a notebook filled with a cryptic writing that is yet to be deciphered.
To what extent does it matter that:
-Hampton was not trained?
-The artwork was created with junk?
-Hampton received no recognition for his work?
-The artwork, which was kept under wraps for over a decade as the artist worked on it, is now on display at the Smithsonian?
-The artwork was intended as a religious work?
Using the questions above, write a minimum one-page essay explaining James Hampton’s contributions as an artist and the relevancy of his work. Please answer all five questions in your response. You may use your textbook or reliable Internet sources as references.
