The department chosen is marketing, which is one of the critical departments in the organization. The department is mainly concerned with satisfying and identifying customer’s needs at an affordable and right price. Furthermore, it is also in charge of researching different products that a customer wants and analyzing how it will satisfy their wants. The marketing department is also responsible for managing the 4Ps in the marketing mix, representing promotion, place, product, and price (Loder, Rayhill, & Burch, 2018). A company can achieve success if it has lower-price products than its competitors or products of very high quality or both, which is one of the strategies a company can use for improvement. In the department, some challenges occur from time to time, and they include lack of communication, interpreting marketing report data, understaffed, and closing the sales loop and new marketing trends.

WTP for a visit to Disney theme park My WTP for Disney theme park one day-pass is 90 dollars. A day’s visit to the Disney theme park promises to offer lifetime experiences through its various theme parks. While the price of a ticket at this time of the year is approximately $120, the pay cuts at work caused by the Coronavirus outbreak have negatively affected my WTP. The uncertainty of the future has affected my disposable income, and I’m only willing to pay USD 90 instead of USD 120. My WTP for Disney theme parks can change from time to time. In December, when holidays are here for most people, I’m willing to pay a higher amount to visit Disney theme park. The theme parks at Disney offer entertainment experiences that children and people today can enjoy, hence likely to be a memorable experience. I may find a leave midyear to visit the place considering my preference for Disney characters and themes. At that time, I’m willing to pay less because of my tight schedule and the fact that most…

All of the markets that it intends to enter can be described as having or will force Walmart to deal with different cultural aspects and diverse government policies far from those in the U.S. (Alcácer, Agrawal, & Vaish, 2013). In this regard, the major problem that is notable from this approach is that Walmart tried to replicate its effective U.S. business model in Mexico, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Central America, China, South Korea, Japan, Germany, the U.K., and Africa. The decision to use a similar strategy in these new markets cost the company many struggles, and even years before it could realize any form of profit-making. For instance, in the China market was much diverse from others both in consumer preferences, patterns, mode of competition as well as regulations. Therefore, for the company to be able to replicate and address specific aspects in this market, the company was forced to offer store managers with…
Model of Health and Healing Many health professions have weighed their expertise on how to deal with matters concerning health and healing. This paper seeks to discuss the three eras of health and healing as outlined by Dr Larry Dossey. The first era also called mechanistic, materialistic, or physicalistic medicine started in the 1860s (Dossey, 2015). It was a reflection of the discovery of the laws of nature and science had just started to make an impression on the medical field. Medicine in era 1 was also considered mechanistic and therapies such as surgery, medication and radiation were as well based. In era 1, treatment consisted of drugs or surgical procedures according to the symptoms presented by the patient (Dossey, 2015). The health of the mind was considered as the physical health of the brain. A different way of thinking about who people emerged in the 1940s.

Thinking About and Rethinking-Research Paper There Is Always a Structure You Must Follow Writing is an interesting process that requires a systematic arrangement of ideas for an easy understanding of the content by the reader. Additionally, there are different reasons for writing, in which case, this requires one to follow a conventional stipulation that is academically predetermined or according to laid down standards. In this regard, professional writing is not a freestyle process. For example, in writing a business letter, there are conventional requirements that enables the target audience to quickly understand the subject of the content without having to ask the sender for any clarification. Therefore, it helps in saving time, considering that a random human mind may compose what occurs randomly in their head. Another example is the writing of a research paper; this has specific steps that are conventionally recommended for academic use. It is not easy for one to come up with a research paper that satisfies or answers the research questions. There is a big difference between facts and opinions. While opinions are what results…
