Uncategorized Assignment-help1: Gayle has created a new literacy program for residents of subsidized housing in her city. Program participants enroll in classes and receive tutoring in English as a second language, basic literacy skills, and high school competition courses. In addition, the program offers sessions and one-on-one mentoring on skills for the job market including how to search for a job using the Internet and the newspaper; apply for jobs in person and on the Internet; respond to inquiries about jobs; write cover letters and résumés; and prepare for job interviews. However, the residents of the housing units do not seem to be aware of this aspect of the program and Gayle worries that they think it is just an extension of other programs and is not open to them. Actually her project is funded by VISTA to provide both the literacy and job-seeking skills. Gayle decides that she will add another promotional piece that focuses specifically on the job-seeking aspects of the program, which will include posters, handouts for residents, and having the teachers and mentors talk up the program. In addition, she will check her current marketing materials to make sure that both the literacy and job-seeking skills aspects of her program are clearly described and use messages that that will attract residents to both of these learning opportunities. In light of the steps toward creating a marketing plan outlined in chapter 13 of our text, has Gale taken appropriate steps to market her program? Why or why not?Scenario 2: Henry was debating what to charge for his automotive repair course at the local technical college. Ordinarily the program schedulers would set the price of their programs that were open to the nonmatriculating public, but Henry was adding a special new course to appeal to men and women who are “baby boomers” and might have tinkered with cars when they were teenagers. Henry went straight to the Web to see what the technical schools across the city were charging for their community programs. Much to his surprise, he found a program at one of the other schools, which is called “Boomers and Their Cars.” The description of the program sounded just like Henry’s idea and the cost was actually much lower than the controller believed the program would cost Henry to produce. Henry was disappointed about this discovery, but so glad that he had looked at the competition. He knows it is time to do some research to see what the market will bear and how big a market he can tap into for his program. Henry fears that the number is going to be a tough one to come up with, so he is bringing an ad hoc committee together to discuss whether his program should go forward and if so, how much to charge.

Johnston has always been a good member of the organization, is the director of a successful basic education program and a nice man. When he agreed to serve as a volunteer for the conference, he had no idea that he would have problems with his program’s federal contract just as he was needed for the conference duties. He keeps thinking that he will find the extra time to arrange for the AV equipment through the hotel and ignores the e-mails from the conference manager who wants to know if everything is ready for the pending conference. The manager is getting panicked because Johnston will not return her e-mails or phone calls. It is now several weeks before the conference so she picks a colleague to take over this assignment. The colleague is thrilled, takes a trip to the hotel, tries to bargain with the catering director to lower the rental fees and ends up frustrating everyone. The conference manager has to call her colleague in for a talk about the limits of her authority and yet keep her enthused so that the AV issue can be handled.

She knows what type of presentation each one is planning to make and what room arrangements they require. She takes the schedule to the hotel to request the room assignments and the arrangements of chairs for the room. When she walks into the catering office, she sees Glenda, the chair of the Arrangements Committee. They strike up a conversation and Valerie discovers Glenda is there to do the same thing: make the room assignments and arrange the chairs for each room. Valerie is upset that she has taken up her valuable time to drive to the hotel and feels this task should be her responsibility. They get into a heated debate in front of the caterer and leave the hotel to call the program manager to let her decide who has this duty.
