Blunt Brittany

Brittany is the director of merchandising for Auto Pal, a large chain of automotive supply stores in the United States and Canada. The company has continued to grow in terms of stores and income, as so many more people keep their vehicles longer, and also perform more maintenance, such as oil changes, by themselves. Merchandising is a core function of Auto Pal because the chain distributes thousands of products in its stores, from floor mats to transmissions. With profit margins thin, and heavy competition, the pace of conducting business at Auto Pal is hectic. Brittany moves quickly when dealing with her direct reports, sometimes to their surprise. Sid, a merchandise specialist for vehicle cleaning and polishing supplies, recently requested a two-week paternity leave because he and his wife were expecting a baby any moment now. Brittany replied that such a request was kind of wimpy, and a little bit out of the ordinary. “Don’t you have a mother-in-law who can help with the new baby? Or, are you so poor that you can’t hire a nanny for two weeks?” Katie, a merchandising specialist for batteries, regulators, and radiators, sent Brittany a detailed report about new procurement software that might save thousands of dollars for Auto Pal in the long run. Brittany sent back an e-mail stating in part, “Does this great new software come from a company that employs a relative of yours? We are already using state-of-the art software.” Jeff, the office manager, and one of Auto Pal’s most senior employees, sent Brittany an e-mail asking if he could take his ten days of vacation in five two-day pieces next year instead of ten consecutive working days. The next day, Brittany wrote back, “I like your idea Jeff. In this way your work flow would be less disrupted. And besides, an old-timer like you needs a few more long weekends than the rest of us do.” One day, Auto Pal CEO Derek asked Brittany how well she was proceeding with her strategic plan for next year. Brittany replied, “Not much progress yet. I’m running around putting out fires and dealing with the realities of making sure my team gets the right merchandise into the stores. Maybe you could have one of those overpaid marketing specialists dream up a strategic plan that I could sign off on.”

Discuss on Service Marketing

 

The focus of the assignment is the re-launch of the “Lobster/Sea-food festival” which will take place sometime in 2021.  You are to design the festival and need to think through some of the following issues in coming up with your ideas:

• What the nature of event should be (type, duration, facilities and activities….)• When should the festival run?• What would be attractive in the marketplace (competitor offerings, best practice, value proposition, price point)• Which customer segments to target and how• How they could use events to create customer experience congruent within the mission (Bridlington Lobster Capital of Europe) and brand (customer journey)• Risk of undertaking the activity and how these can be mitigated. • How immersive such a festival should be e.g. overnight camping/glamping, tasks, activities, instruction……..• What type of things would work for a 12/24/36 hours of activity? • Could it be tied into other tourist assets that exist?• Are their learnings from organizations which have tried and succeeded or failed in similar activities?• What specific customer experience factors need to be considered both positives and negatives?• Some indication of how to “launch” such an event.• Costs, budget, profit?

This is an Individual assignment:

Discuss on Strategic Management principles

Exercise 3-1 This chapter’s opening scenario illustrates a specific type of incident/disaster. Using a Web browser, search for information related to preparing an organization against terrorist attacks. Look up information on (a) anthrax or another biological attack (like smallpox), (b) sarin or another toxic gas, (c) low-level radiological contamination attacks. Exercise 3-2 Using a Web browser, search for available commercial applications that use various forms of RAID technologies, such as RAID 0 through RAID 5. What is the most common implementation? What is the most expensive?

The following sections discuss the RAID configurations that are most commonly used in the IT industry. RAID Level 0 This is not a form of redundant storage. RAID 0 creates one larger logical volume across several available hard disk drives and stores the data using a process known as disk striping, in which data segments, called stripes, are written in turn to each disk drive in the array. When this is done to allow multiple drives to be combined in order to gain large capacity without data redundancy, it is called disk striping without parity. Unfortunately, failure of one drive may make all data inaccessible. In fact, this level of RAID does not improve the risk situation when using disk drives; instead, it rather increases the risk of losing data from a single drive failure. RAID Level 1 Commonly called disk mirroring, RAID 1 uses twin drives in a computer system. The computer records all data to both drives simultaneously, providing a backup if the primary drive fails. This is a rather expensive and inefficient use of media. A variation of mirroring is called disk duplexing. With mirroring, the same drive controller manages both drives; with disk duplexing, each drive has its own controller. Mirroring is often used to create duplicate copies of operating system volumes for high-availability systems. Using this technique, a plan can be developed that mirrors and then splits disk pairs to create highly available copies of critical system drives. This can make multiple copies of critical data or programs readily available when needed for high-availability computing environments. RAID Level 2 A specialized form of disk striping with parity, RAID 2 is not widely used. It uses a specialized parity coding mechanism known as the Hamming code to store stripes of data on multiple data drives and corresponding redundant error correction on separate error-correcting drives. This approach allows the reconstruction of data if some of the data or redundant parity information is lost. There are no commercial implementations of RAID 2. Failure-Resistant Disk Systems (FRDS) Failure-Tolerant Disk Systems (FTDS) Disaster-Tolerant Disk Systems (DTDS) Protection against data loss due to replaceable unit failure Replaceable unit and environmental failure warning Protection against loss of access to data due to zone failure Replaceable unit monitoring and failure indication Protection against loss of access to data due to device channel failure Long-distance protection against loss of data due to zone failure Protection against loss of access to data due to controller module failure Protection against loss of access to data due to cache failure Protection against loss of access to data due to power supply failure Table 3-3 RAID classification model (continued) © Cengage Learning 2014 Data and Application Resumption 99 Copyright 2013 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part. RAID Levels 3 and 4 RAID 3 uses byte-level striping of data, and RAID 4 uses blocklevel striping of data. These approaches use a process in which the data is stored in segments on dedicated data drives, and parity information is stored on a separate drive. Similar to RAID 0, one large volume is used for the data, but the parity drive operates independently to provide error recovery. RAID Level 5 RAID 5 is most commonly used in organizations that balance safety and redundancy against the costs of acquiring and operating the systems. It is similar to RAID 3 and 4 in that it stripes the data across multiple drives, but there is no dedicated parity drive. Instead, segments of data are interleaved with parity data and are written across all the drives in the set. RAID 5 drives can also be hot swapped, meaning they can be replaced without taking the entire system down. RAID Level 6 A combination of RAID 1 and RAID 5, this provides block-level striping with double-distributed parity and allows systems so protected to recover from two simultaneous drive failures. RAID Level 7 This is a proprietary variation on RAID 5 in which the array works as a single virtual drive. RAID 7 is sometimes performed by running special software over RAID 5 hardware. RAID Level 0+1 This is a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1. Raid 0 is used for its performance, and RAID 1 is used for its fault tolerance. This model creates a second striped set to mirror a primary striped set (striping, then mirroring). RAID Level 1+0 This is a combination of RAID 1 and RAID 0. Raid 0 is used for its performance, and RAID 1 is used for its fault tolerance. This model creates a striped set from a mirrored set (mirroring, then striping). RAID Level 5+1 This is a combination of RAID 5 and RAID 1. Raid 5 is used for its robustness, but then the method adds a separate data parity drive not found in RAID 5

Adding Value To an Organization

Based on your assessment and the organization’s strengths and weaknesses you identified in Week 1, evaluate opportunities for that organization to add economic, social, and environmental value.

Recommend an opportunity that best capitalizes on the organization’s valuable, rare, and hard-to-imitate resources, is least impacted by the organization’s weaknesses, and will take best advantage of the external environment.

Create a PowerPoint presentation to present your assessment, evaluation, and recommendation. Include the following sections in your presentation:

  • A cover slide
  • An agenda
  • A description of the organization (1 slide with speaker’s notes).
  • A summary of the strengths and weakness of the organization (2 slides with speaker’s notes)
  • Key aspects of your assessment of the external environment that present opportunities for adding value, such as trends, unmet needs, unsolved problems, under-served consumer groups, etc. (2-3 slides with speaker’s notes)
  • An evaluation of opportunities to add economic value (1 slide with speaker’s notes)
  • An evaluation of opportunities to add social value (1 slide with speaker’s notes)
  • An evaluation of opportunities to add environmental value (1 slide with speaker’s notes). Note: Some opportunities may appear on more than 1 slide. For example, you may find an opportunity that adds economic, social, and environmental value.
  • A recommended opportunity to pursue first, with a rationale that shows how the opportunity capitalizes on the organization’s valuable, rare, and hard-to-imitate resources, is not much impacted by the organization’s weaknesses, and takes advantage of the external environment (1 slide, with speaker’s notes)
  • A conclusion
  • References

Cite references to support your assignment.
