You then are required to identify which market segments your campaign will target. Next you must identify at least 3-5 communication objectives such as developing brand awareness; or promoting product and company knowledge; influencing interest or consumer attitudes; developing the product’s image; or influencing the purchase intention etc. (Chapter 4& 7 of Belch, Belch, Kerr & Powell). Once you have identified your communication objectives you must discuss at least 3-5 creative strategies related specifically to the communication objectives targeting particular market segments for a particular purpose and requiring a specific consumer response (Waller 2004, pp36-37 and Belch, Belch, Kerr & Powell chapters 9-10). 3-5 creative strategies are: * Generic * Pre-Emptive * Unique Selling Proposition...

...The chain of events leading up to the Supreme Court case U. S. v Clarke included summonses issued by the IRS to four people associated with Dynamo Holdings, L.P. for evidence and documents related to Dynamo’s tax liability for 2005-2007. Large interest expenses reported in those years were in question. Dynamo had agreed to two year-long extensions of the usual 3-year limitation period for assessing tax liability. When the four individuals failed to comply with the summonses issued in September and October 2010, the IRS pursued the issue in District Court in April 2011 to enforce the summons under United States Code Section 7602(a), which gives the Secretary the power to examine relevant or material information and to summon liable parties. Under Reisman v. Caplin, 375 U. S. 440, 449 (1964), the summons was challenged by respondents, attempting to question the responsible agents and claiming the IRS had questionable motives in issuing the summonses. The respondents held that the IRS issued the summonses to “punish Dynamo for refusing to a further extension of the applicable statute of limitations.” Additionally, the respondents claimed that the IRS decided to enforce the summonses following Dynamo filing suit in Tax Court in order to avoid the Tax Court’s limitations on discovery, thus gaining an unfair advantage. This request was deemed incorrect matter of law and was denied by the District Court because the respondents did not point to specifics that might raise interference...

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The taxpayer, Craig Terry, deducted $6,000 in charitable contribution to his church, which operates his children’s school. The IRS disallowed $4,800 of this deduction claiming that it was tuition. When Terry made the contribution, he was not acting out of pure generosity, but in anticipation that his children would receive an education. Terry made a quid pro quo contribution, in which only the excess of the value of the services received is deductible. We rule in favor of the IRS due to overwhelming legislative support, as outlined below. FACTS * In 2006, Craig Terry “contributes” $6,000 to his church which operates the school that his two children attend. * The school charges no tuition for students to attend, but the families are provided with a suggested donation of $200, which is how much it costs to educate a child per year. However, no child is refused admission to the school if their family is unable to contribute. * The IRS disallows $4,800 of the charitable contribution stating it is tuition. * Terry responds that because the school charges no tuition, the entire $6,000 is deductible. Terry, also, argues that because the IRS allows the Church of Scientology to deduct fees paid to the church for religious education, he should be allowed this deduction as well. ISSUES Per IRC section 170(c)(2)(B), “a charitable contribution is defined as a contribution or gift to or for the use of a corporation, trust, or community chest, fund...

...Introduction and Background The Bush Wars hold a significant place in the lives of Americans. There are some issues that are synonymous with the Bush Wars. In this case, the 9/11, scandal of Abu Ghraib, the 2003 invasion of Iraq, truth of WMD and the insurgency are the issues that are synonymous with the Bush Wars (Frontline, 1). The Frontline is the documentary that was produced during the 5th anniversary of the Bush Wars. The Frontline recognized that though part of this history is known, but the entire narrative is unknown hence there is need to fill the gap. Despite being referred as Bush wars, it should have been given Cabinet infightings title. Summary of the documentary The filmmaker is Michael Kirk while Will Lyman gives a signature narration. Ideally, the documentary seeks to develop information regarding how the war started, how fighting took place both the war front and insider critical analysis of the government. There seemed o be two battle lines, the war front at the ground and battle at the corridors of power within the government. In the fall of 2001 just when the Afghan war was ongoing, there were talks in government whether Iraq should be the next target. The perception was Saddam Hussein must have played a critical role in the 9/11. The was policy battle between Secretary of state, Collins Powell and director of CIA George Tenet on one side against VP Dick Cheney and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumfeld (Frontline, 1). Rumfeld in fact dashed CIA intelligence...

...COSTING METHODS Ameer Abdullah, Darren Koettel, Frank Liebe, Virgil K. Powell ACC/561 March 21, 2016 Dr. Jason Lee Introduction Although both methods have their own pros and cons Absorption and Variable Costing methods are what companies use to determine pricing for their products. Team B will analyze each of the methods and apply to a case study. Case Study The Polk Company already uses an absorption costing method to figure out its costs per unit and both an absorption and variable costing income statement. We decided to use the absorption method when it comes to this case. The absorption method is designed to let the managers of the company see all the costs that are needed for the manufacturing process and is absorbed by the company while doing the job that is needed. Variable and Absorption Costing Each method is good for businesses because they both are designed to gain more profit for the company. The variable costing method is used mostly by managers and displays to them the pros and cons of the business. This method is helpful so you can see what area is excelling in the company and which area; you need to focus on a little bit more. The absorption method allows the company to see where it stands and where all manufacturing costs are included in their product. This allows the company to make a decision on where to set the price for their product. Competitive advantage The best method when making a decision against a competitor would be...

...Fundamental of Effective Communication in the Workplace Karen Alesia Powell Strayer University BUS100 Professor Doris Martin August 3, 2014 Abstract Communication is the key to a successful business or professional career. The use of effective communication is one the most important skills that I recommend for all people working in a professional position to acquire and perfect. But this skill is not easy for everyone, it can be a challenge for many even the most talented people. (Kelly, McGowen, William, 2014, Pg.125) Fundamental of Effective Communication in the Workplace Communication is imperative to achieve the goals of those who in work the law profession. Criminal justice, criminology and law enforcement workers must be able to articulate their actions and reasoning to the public in order to maintain their support. Without the ability to communicate effectively the details of the event may be seen as a public misconception. Criminologists and Investigators must be able to present their research and findings in a coherent manner to persuade the case and apprehend the subject or subjects. Three Reasons and Results How Communication is Effective The first communication skills is understanding the cultural orientation including diverse age, cultural, economic, ethnic and religious groups. With the understanding of many cultures, many businesses hire personnel with multiple languages skills. This helps the language barrier and comprehension of what being...

...What substantive differences exist between the performance of male and female leaders? What perceived differences exist between the performance of male and female leaders? What do the answers to these questions mean for females that aspire to leadership positions? Substantive Differences A fair amount of research has explored sex differences in business leadership. Although mostly survey research, a number of themes appear consistently, suggesting that there are some substantive differences between men and women with regard to leadership performance. For example, with regard to global leadership, research by Javidan et al. (2016) suggest that women demonstrate stronger leadership self-efficacy (the importance of which is iterated by Locke & Latham, 2002; Hannah et al., 2008; Lester et al., 2011; Luthans & Peterson, 2002; Paglis & Green, 2002) profiles in regard to passion for diversity, intercultural diversity and diplomacy, while men tend to show strong leadership self-efficacies regarding global business savvy, cosmopolitan outlook and interpersonal impact. Women tend to behave more ethically than do men, and also tend to be more personable (Anonymous, 2013; Stedham et al., 2007). An article by Gannon (2012) discusses research showing that women leaders are judged as more supportive and rewarding, whereas men are judged to be better at such behaviors as delegating and managing up. Other research is described in the Gannon (2012) article,* suggesting that women leaders...

...Madison Koci Stewart Frame GWC PS110 Due: 12/12/13 North Korea and Kim Jong Un Kim Jong Un is the the 29-year-old ruler of North Korea, one of the most distinctive and unpredictable countries in the world. It is a cocktail of poisonous elements: autocratic, repressive, isolated and poor (Powell).Its regime is dangerous not only to its people but also to the rest of the world. Its actions have had an unsettling impact on international relations in northeast Asia, particularly its nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009 and its shelling of Yeonpyeong Island in 2010, all of which led to tensions between China and the united States (Ahn). North Korea’s present and future, therefore, are of global concern (Powell). North Korea is "a Stalinist monarchy" where bloodlines, and only bloodlines, determine who the next dictator will be--no matter how young or inexperienced that person may be, notes South Korean scholar Cheong Seong-chang (Ahn). Nearly 30,000 U.S. troops sit across the border, helping defend South Korea against the 1.2 million-member army, most of it which exists within 30 miles of the demilitarized zone. Over the past decade, despite crippling economic sanctions imposed by most of the outside world, North Korea has defiantly developed and tested nuclear weapons and the long-range missiles needed to deliver them (Ahn). Western intelligence agencies make an educated guess that Pyongyang is holding 8 to 12 nuclear weapons. The hard truth is that North Korea is Asia's last...

...The trial court granted Scripps-Howard summary judgement. The Ohio Court of Appeals reversed the decision stating that the press does not have a right to show Zacchini’s act without compensating him and that Zacchini’s complain stated a “cause of action” and for “infringement” of copyright. The case was then taken to the Ohio Supreme Court and they ruled in favor of Scripps-Howard claiming that the press is allowed to show Zacchini’s entire act. The Ohio Supreme Court also said that Scripps-Howard may be held liable for using Zacchini’s likeness for appropriation. The Supreme Court in the end ruled that the first and fourteenth amendments did not allow the press to broadcast Zacchini’s act without his consent....

Case No. 07CV69537. CASE SUMMARY: PROCEDURAL POSTURE: Appellant personal injury victim filed suit against appellee store alleging that it was negligent in its cleaning of a coffee spill, upon which she slipped and fell. The store filed a motion for summary judgment. The Warren County Court of Common Pleas (Ohio) granted summary judgment for the store. The victim appealed. OVERVIEW: The victim argued that the trial court erred by failing to consider the incident report and corresponding witness statements. The appellate court held that the trial court did not err by disregarding the document due to its lack of authenticity. There was no indication that the document, purported to be an employee witness statement, was sworn or certified, nor was there any evidence presented to establish its authenticity by affidavit. Further, the incident report, and the alleged corresponding witness statements, did not meet the admissibility requirements of Civ. R. 56, and therefore, were not entitled to consideration by the trial court for summary judgment...

...Affirmative action, is often utilized so that schools are able to be diversified and not discriminate against certain races or populations. Fisher believed that by using affirmative action, Universities were violating the fourteenth amendment: equal protection. She believed that if affirmative action was not a hoop she had to jump through, she would have made it into The University of Texas. The case made it all the way to the Supreme Court where the jury ruled in the University of Texas' favor, 7-1. Justice Kagan did not participate in this particular court case because she was affiliated with it in the lower circuits when she was the attorney general. This is only one of the few cases that have involved affirmative action and made its way all the way up to the supreme court, but it is certainly one of the most popular. The question they were left with was “Does the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment permit the consideration of race in...

...Sensitivity Analysis Using Data Tables In Excel A data table in Excel is a kind of What-If scenario. The table allows you to create instant results based on two variables which change along the rows and columns of the table. Let’s say we’re trying to predict the number of periods until a currently unprofitable company becomes profitable. We have a goal for managing expense growth rates and a goal for increasing sales growth rates but of course, we don’t know whether or not we’ll hit our targets! A data table can show us at a glance the effects of missing and/or exceeding our target numbers. In a new Excel spreadsheet create an area to hold our assumptions. You can create this region yourself, or download the sample spreadsheet. We need figures in year ‘0’ (the current year) for Revenues, Expenses, Revenue Growth, and Expense Growth. We include the year of interest at the bottom so that we can quickly change the year of interest to see how the company would be doing for a particular year given a variety of revenue and expense estimates. Amount Growth Rate Revenues $1,000,000 15.0% Expenses $1,700,000 3.0% Year 0 Be sure to name your ranges; we’ll be using the names to create a cumulative profit formula. We then ‘surround’ our growth targets with higher and lower estimates as shown below. We place our formula for cumulative profit at the top left corner of the table, using the named ranges we created above: =(Revenues*((1+RevGrowth)^Years))-(Expenses*((1+ExpGrowth)^Years)) ...
