Question
MRKT 310 Principles of Marketing
Week 2 Writing Assignment
Customer Satisfaction, Loyalty, Management and Empowerment
Learning Outcomes
Customer empowerment. Student can identify how their chosen product or service offering uses social networks to communicate and empower customers to be part of the marketing process.
Customer satisfaction. Student can identify how customers communicate their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the chosen product or service offering.
Customer Relationship Management. Student can explain customer lifetime value and how a customer relationship management program can have a role in attracting and retaining most valuable customers.
Customer privacy. Student can identify the product or service offerings privacy policy and analyze its effectiveness in protecting their customer’s information.
Directions
Refer to the product or service you selected last week. This week you want to take a closer look at the company’s website to identify how that company interacts with its customers. If they have Facebook pages or other social media, check them out as well and add that information to your research data.
You may want to find a Most Valuable Customer of the product or service if you are not one yourself, or alternatively think like an MVC. What is the evidence of an MVC of your product or service. It isn’t just that the customer regularly buys the product or service. It means that the customer is treated differently — better — than other customers. It means that the MVC represents about 20% of the company’s revenues. These are the customers with whom the company regularly communicates, offers special deals, and other ways as outlined in the text and as you can find with just a little bit of googling on the internet.
You may want to calculate the lifetime value of a most valuable customer. See the formula in the week’s readings. If you are not an MVC yourself, make and share your assumptions about your calculation. If you are not an MVC, you might want to find someone who is and ask them why they are loyal to the product or service and what they feel the company does for them that is special that they don’t do for other customers.
You may need call or visit a store to take a look at your product or service if the website does not provide you everything you need to evaluate the company’s product or service privacy policy. Usually the privacy policy is available on the website.
Prepare your assignment beginning with a title page with your name and product or service. Then answer the following four questions in order and number the beginning of your response to each question.
Customer Empowerment. How does your product or service offering empower its customers as discussed in the course readings this week? In other word, how are customers part of the marketing for the company? Identify the feedback vehicles they may use, especially social media. Do the social media efforts seem to be creating buzz marketing? If not, what could they do to generate more ‘buzz’?
Customer satisfaction. How does your product or service offering communicate ways for customers to express their dissatisfaction and if possible, outline what remedies the product or service may be taking to ensure satisfaction.
Customer Relationship Management. Does it appear that your product has a customer relationship management strategy? In other words, do they treat the top tier of customers differently than other customers? If so, what is your evidence? If not, should they have a CRM strategy? Or, are there compelling reasons why your product or service should treat all customers the same? Refer to course content concepts in your response.
Customer privacy. Review your product or service offering’s privacy policy (usually published on its website). Analyze whether you think they do enough to protect the customer’s privacy or what steps you might suggest they take to protect customer’s privacy. Refer to the privacy policies or the information on warranties and guarantees. The company’s customer support page might also be useful. Do they pubish a remedy should the customer’s privacy be breached? Should they?
Be sure to follow all of the submission requirements outlined in the syllabus and provided below again for your easy reference:
• Prepare as a word processed document (such as Microsoft Word).
• Your assignment should be the equivalent of two pages of double-spaced text, approximately 1/2 page for each of the four questions.
• Be sure your name, writing assignment number, and the name of your product or service are on the first page of your writing assignment.

Question 2
Assume there are three farms in a county growing corn in a perfectly competitive market.
The overall global market supply of corn is given by QS=P. The demand function
equals QD=100-P. The marginal cost functions for the farms are given by MC1=48+Q,
MC2=46+Q and MC3=42+Q. Assume there is no fixed cost of production.
a) Calculate the overall market equilibrium quantity and the corresponding
market clearing price.
b) How much corn does each farm produce?
c) What is each firm’s annual profit?
d) Assuming a discount rate of 4% and a profit growth rate of 1.5%, what is the
land of each firm worth?
e) Now assume, due to better climatic conditions, marginal cost for each firm falls
by $2. Calculate the new marginal cost functions, quantities, profits and the
new land values assuming the same discount rates as under (d). What was the
sum of the tree land values before and after the change?
Question 3
A firm that produces metal occupies four hectares of land. The firm produces 10 tons of
output per day and sells its output at a price of $240 per ton. The firm does not engage in
factor substitution as the price of land changes. Intra-urban transportation is on trucks,
with a unit cost of $12 per ton per mile. The firm’s non-land cost is $560 per day. The
firm exports its output via circumferential highway (i.e., beltway around the city). That is,
the firm would like to be located at or near the beltway.
(a) Draw the firm’s bid-rent curve for land for different distances from the beltway, from
a distance zero to five miles.
(b) What is the bid-rent at the beltway? What is the slope of the bid-rent function? Show
your work.
Question 4
Is in your textbook, Ch. 6, Applying the Concepts # 9:
Consider a region with two cities: Obeyburg (B) and Vioville (V). The cities differ
in the individual demand curves for housing. Consumers in Obeyburg obey the
law of demand with negatively sloped individual demand curves. Consumers in
Vioville violate the law of demand, with positively sloped individual demand
curves. Draw the housing price curves for the two cities (labeled PB for Obeyburg
and PV for Vioville) under the assumption that PB=PV at a distance of 5 miles from
the city center. Hint: How does conventional consumer substitution affect the
shape of the housing-price curve and how would contrary consumer substitution
affect the shape?

Question
Assessment of Cardiac Status (graded)
Esther Jackson is a 56-year-old black female who is 1-day post-op following a left radical mastectomy. During morning rounds, the off-going nurse shares with you during bedside report that the patient has been experiencing increased discomfort in her back throughout the night and has required frequent help with repositioning. She states that the patient was medicated for pain approximately 2 hours ago but is voicing little relief and states that you might want to mention that to the doctor when he rounds later this morning. With the patient appearing to be in no visible distress, you proceed on to the next patient’s room for report.
Approximately 1 hour later, you return to Ms. Jackson’s room with her morning pills and find her slumped over the bedside stand in tears. The patient states, “I don’t know what is wrong, I don’t feel right. My back hurts and I’m just so tired. What is wrong with me?” The patient refuses to take her medications at this time stating that she is starting to feel sick to her stomach.
Just then the nursing assistant comes into the patient’s room to record Ms. Jackson’s vital signs, you take this opportunity to quickly research the patient’s medication record to determine if she has a medication ordered for nausea. Upon return, the nursing assistant hands you the following vital signs: T 37, R 18, and BP 132/54, but states she couldn’t get the patient’s pulse because “it is all over the place.”
Please address the following questions related to the scenario.
What do you suspect is the cause of the patient’s symptoms?
Describe the course of action that you will take to confirm this suspicion and prevent further decline.
What further assessments, lab values, and tests will likely be ordered for this patient and how often? If testing is to be completed more than once, please explain the rationale for doing so.
While you are caring for this patient, how will you ensure that the needs of your other patients are being met?
