managing servives

Order Description

the task that im going to do is about mark and spencer
Name of service provider ? Mark and Spencer
Scope of services – Organising idea – and the service specification – Personal style adviser

TASK – the customer journey and the service process evaluation – Define and evaluate the process for acquiring clothes style advice for your own profile. Note that you may wish to save the data and should be prepared to input personal information so may need to do this privately.

Web link – https://www.marksandspencer.com/s/women/style-adviser

Thinking about what to do:
Imagine that you are a customer – a user of the service
AND
Also imagine that you are a consultant advising on the service experience so that the design can be improved
YOU NEED TO DO A DIAGNOSIS – so you will need to know what the concept of the service is; and to be able to scope the offering out in the form of a blueprint
Then from the blueprint you will know the processes that they conduct within the service delivery – but this only gives a small amount of detail so you will need to consider what the specification and detail of the service is.

You should be able to find out the detail about how the service works from the website; often this is at the bottom of the site; and is sometimes called Terms of Use or Terms and Conditions. Or it may be under Customer Service or Customer Care. Every organization will do it slightly differently.
Then you should scope out the customer journey for the service process that you have been given. When you put the blueprint together you will find that some of this will already be in your detail so you just need to extend it.
Then you need to add the emotions to the journey – look at lecture and below for the customer journey combined with the emotions. What is good about the journey and what is not good about the journey? What can be changed?

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 Two. 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?

Additionally, describe the validity and applicability of implanting the Boston Consulting Group matrix for your chosen healthcare organization?s marketing plan.

intercultural experiences

This paper consists of two parts: a cultural profile of yourself and make an analysis of an intercultural experience (ICE) which you personally experienced.
1.) For your cultural profile, suggested topics are about your families and relatives. Interview the eldest member in your family. Where are your family members from? Do you have any members from different religious, ethnic, national cultures? Do you have family members who were born outside the U. S? What are their language backgrounds? State something about yourself: where you grew up, what places you have traveled to, lived in, and worked in; what language(s) you speak/have learned; what hobbies and interests that you have; what are your college-level educational experiences; what intercultural experiences you have had before.

2.) To analyze one of your intercultural experiences, you need to pick an ICE that could be domestic (involving communication between racial, ethnic, gender, or other distinct identity groups in contemporary United States society) or international (involving communication with persons from other countries). Have you studied and/or traveled overseas? Have you had a roommate whose cultural background differs from yours? Do you work in a job where you encounter people from different cultures? When describing this experience, give enough details so that the reader can understand the experience. After describing the experience, analyze the intercultural experience in terms of (a) factors which facilitated communication, (b) factors which inhibited communication, and (c) concepts or principles which can explain what happened. For example, what motivated you to seek the intercultural experience? Were there any cultural differences between the people involved? Was language a problem? Was there any evidence of ethnocentrism or prejudice? Were there any nonverbal differences which may have caused the problem? Use concepts from readings for analyzing the experience.
The paper should be double-spaced, 10-12 point Times font, no longer than 4-5 pages. Provide an APA Co
