As critical thinkers, we greatly benefit from determining what people assume. What people assume is not always said out loud. Briefly summarize a conversation that you recently had or have had in the past (note that this could also be a conversation that you heard). List at least two assumptions that were made during the conversations but were not said out loud. How did you know that these were assumptions (that they were taken for granted)? Were these assumptions true, or were they questionable? When do you think it is appropriate to point out that someone’s assumptions are false?  Please be sure to include ideas from the textbook that might be relevant to your discussion. ALSO PLEASE REPLY TO ANOTHER STUDENTS COMMENT BELOW  Jamal When I arrive at work today I walked up to a group of coworkers who were talking about when the promotions email would come out. Josh stated that promotions would only come out on a Tuesday and not Monday. Erick stated that he believed that on Wednesday before five P. M the promotion list was coming out. I stated that promotions generally come out on a Monday or Tuesday because the ceremony has to be on a Friday to take effect on status change. The first assumption was that promotions came out on Tuesday, The second assumption was that promotions would come out on a Wednesday. I knew these were assumptions due to nobody having solid proof in writing of these theories. As far as pointing out that someone’s assumptions are false.. you can at any time but do it in a quiet manner not to embarrass them or yourself for that matter and be respectful.

Blog on the Five principles for delivering value 

Please use Pubmed.gov to look for peer-reviewed journal articles pertaining to colon cancer and color-blindness. I’m interested to know if there is a relationship between a person being unable to see the color red and a late-stage diagnosis of colon cancer. One of the early warning signs of colon cancer that should prompt a person to go see a doctor is blood in their stool after using the toilet. If a person is unable to see the color red, they may miss this early warning sign. That person might not go see a doctor until cancer has spread and begins causing pain or there is some other indication of a problem.

Instructions Case studies are an essential learning strategy in business classes because they provide an opportunity for you to critically analyze events that have taken place in real-life businesses. This develops your critical thinking and research skills as you research the competition and industry in which your business resides in order to formulate a recommendation for the challenges faced by the company. For this unit, review the “Marketing Excellence: BMW” case study (ATTACHED) of your textbook. This assignment will be comprised of two parts; one part will ask you to respond to questions, and the other will require you to complete a case analysis. Part 1 Evaluate this case, and respond to each of the following questions using both theory and practical managerial thinking. a) Examine and apply the consumer-buying process for BMW. Identify the steps and the application to BMW. How does this process assist the marketing team at BMW?b) How could data analytics be used to research the consumer in order to ensure a strong understanding of overall business and marketing outcomes at BMW? c) Within the case, several clearly different target markets are identified. What does BMW do well to target each of these groups, and what could it do better? Within your response, include the process of segmentation. Your Part 1 response must be at least two pages in length. Follow APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment. Note that you will submit Part 1 and Part 2 in one document. Part 2 Complete a case analysis of BMW. This requires that you conduct research on BMW beyond the case study material in the textbook. In the case analysis, you will look at the situational analysis, problem, and alternatives, and you will provide a recommendation. Refer to the instructions below as you construct your analysis.a) Situational Analysis a.  Discuss the external environment through the compilation of a PEST (political, economic, sociocultural, and technology) analysis.b. Discuss the internal and external environment through the compilation of a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis. b) Problem a. Identify at least one organizational problem that BMW is currently having or one in which you project it will have in the future. Base this upon your research and critical thinking.c)Alternatives b. Compile three or four potential marketing-related solutions to the problem above. Remember that these are potential alternatives; you will not select all of the alternatives to solve the problem.d) Recommendation (Marketing Strategy)c. Select one or two of the alternatives above to solve the problem that you identified in this case analysis.d. Discuss your rationale for choosing these and not the others. Include supporting research that will increase the depth of your analysis.In order to successfully complete Part 2 of this case study, you need to review the video and task learning guides (TLGs) below. The following resources will provide you with the skills to research industries/competitors. (https://libguides.columbiasouthern.edu/companyindustryresearch)Part 2 must be at least four pages in length. Follow APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment. Support Part 2 with at least three sources outside of the textbook. As aforementioned, keep in mind that Part 1 and Part 2 will be submitted in one document.

After selecting your own resource (the UN, Brookings Institute, or another reputable site), choose two international issues, and discuss ways you would address them if you were a world leader.  Reference your sources (make sure it is clear which sources you used).  It’s a brainstorming session, you are not expected to solve the world’s problems.  300-400 words excluding references, APA format, and a minimum of 3 references.

Part II:  Organizational Classifications Chapters 1 and 2 provide some introductory concepts about the importance of health care finance. As you know, health care organizations can be classified into ONE of three categories: proprietary (profit-oriented; pays taxes)voluntary (non-profit; do not pay taxes)government-owned Identify one health care organization from your state (NEW YORK) that fall into EACH of these three categories. Be sure to (1) Name the organization, (2) Determine the organization’s category, and (3) Explain how you determined or where you found this information.  Just to clarify…Your post should include the names of three organizations — one from each of the three categories.CAUTION: Do not use http://www.hospitalinspections.org/ (Links to an external site.) as your information source.  It is outdated! If you use a data source other than a primary data source, it’s important to confirm your findings with the organization’s website.

 Explain one way you anticipate using what you have learned from this course in your current or future career. Provide one specific example to support your response. Also, what content do you still have a question about? What is your recommendation to obtain an answer? 

Read the following case first; then proceed to the next steps. You work at a research lab and are 1 of the 6 researchers. Philip, a well-known and highly respected scientist in the lab has offered a theory that the cholesterol in eggs can have serious negative health effects on children. He cites 5 case studies done in different regions of the country over a two-year period and all studies suggest that negative health issues can be linked to egg consumption. His presentation is very compelling and the research lab has been offered significant amounts of government grant money to promote the findings of the cholesterol study. The lab goes forward with the cholesterol research and assigns the other 5 researchers the task of furthering the study. After one year of research and much economic success for everyone at the research lab, a meeting is convened to assess the progress of the program. At this meeting, Rose, a second scientist with a long history of field research experience offers the theory that while there could be a relational effect of the cholesterol in eggs to children, she argues that there is no causal relationship and these findings should be published. The group is stunned as no one has ever challenged Philip’s work and his previous studies on other areas have all been accepted by the scientific community. Rose is excoriated by the group and is told by the research lab that Philip’s reputation speaks for itself and her study is not credible and will not be pursued. Two years later, a rival lab proves Rose’s theory and Philp’s research lab loses all government funding.Step 2: Reflection Part Ask yourself: How can it be that a group of intelligent, experienced researchers would not explore the possibility of another theory in their study? What is the importance of dissenting opinions? Do I listen to and fully understand the point of view of the person expressing a dissenting opinion, especially if that person is the sole voice in the room.Do I arrive at my opinion without sufficient critical analysis? Am I basing my position on assumptions that I presume to be true, but that perhaps are not sufficiently tested or researched?After you have thought through your position on this scenario, apply your thinking to this week’s philosophers and complete Step 3 – the writing part of this assignment.Step 3: Writing PartIn 2-3 pages, explain how Locke and Rousseau might respond to this case of the research lab and groupthink if they were confronted with this situation. How might they explain the majority rule and the social contract to illustrate their philosophy in dealing with groupthink? Support your analysis with quotes or paraphrases from the philosophers. Use APA format and citation when writing your assignment. For more information read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_as_food
