Marketing Plan II
Instructions
Make a questionnaire for the target market of the product you selected for your marketing plan in the previous task, in order to understand the needs of your target customers. Perform the following steps:
1. Create a questionnaire. This should be aimed at obtaining information on the demographics of the sample, tastes, preferences and spending habits of the target market.
2. Your questionnaire should have 20 questions.
3. Submit the questionnaire to a sample of at least 10 individuals in your target market (10 points for each interview, whether each respondent complete the 20 questions in the questionnaire).
4. After collecting the data, files a statement of the results include:
• tabulation of data
• Analysis of data
• Interpretation of findings
• conclusions
5. Save the document in MS-Word format.

[order_calculator]The data set must contain a minimum of 3 variables, (one dependent
variable and at least 2 right hand side variables to be added to a constant
term). You should concentrate on estimating a multiple (rather than simple)
regression model.
You should have a minimum of 50 observations in your regressions.
Anything less will be penalised heavily.
The model should be a causal one, (ie the right hand side variables should
explain the dependent variable, not the other way round). This also means, for
example, that you should not estimate identities like a national accounts
model of the form Y=C+I+G+(X-M). This is an accounting identity and so the
coefficients shouldn’t be anything other than one, barring measurement error).
The econometric results should include a thorough statistical evaluation using
the full range of (relevant) diagnostic tests highlighted during the course. Do
not use tests just for the sake of it. There are no marks to be gained by doing
countless irrelevant tests. Only use tests that are relevant to the type of data
and economic relationship you are trying to estimate. (For the purposes of the
project assume that a sample of 50 or more observations is enough to make
any asymptotic tests valid).

(Case example is organization focused>)
CASE EXAMPLE: You are a social worker for Shatterproof County Department of Social Services in the Public Assistance Division. Shatterproof is a huge urban county populated primarily by people of color. Following the demise of TANF your agency is struggling to adapt to new policies, regulations, and requirements concerning the distribution of clients’ needed resources. You and your colleagues are working to adjust and conform to new expectations. However, that is not the immediate focus of your concern.In working for the county these past three years, you have become increasingly disturbed about the way many workers treat clients, most of whom are women of color. You feel that workers are pressured to process clients through the problem-solving process as quickly as possible and that too little emphasis is placed on client empowerment. Empowerment is the “process of increasing personal, interpersonal, or political power so that individuals can take action to improve their life situations” (Gutierrez, 1995, p. 205). You feel strongly that if workers assumed an empowerment-oriented approach, more clients would be able to gain control of the solutions to their own problems. Such an approach might involve teaching workers how to focus on empowerment approaches and techniques, including “accepting the client’s definition of the problem,” “identifying and building upon existing strengths,” engaging in a realistic assessment of the client’s power in her personal situation, “teaching specific skills” (such as “skills for community or organizational change; life skills,” such as parenting, job seeking, and self-defense; and interpersonal skills, such as assertiveness, social competency, and self-advocacy”), and “mobilizing resources and advocating for clients” (Gutierrez, 1995, pp. 208-10).
So you begin to wonder what you might be able to do about this situation. Clients ought to be allowed more input into the definition and solution of their problems, but workers are not as receptive to clients as they should be. Adopting an empowerment approach could greatly help in successfully implementing the new public assistance programs. Of course, this is not the agency’s only problem. Workers are overly burdened with paperwork, and computers and programs are already outdated. Nevertheless, in your mind empowerment remains the dominant issue. You think social workers, supervisors, and administrators should be educated about empowerment issues and trained to implement empowerment approaches in practice. Emphasis should be placed on both empowerment values and skills. How can you increase awareness and implementation of a philosophy of empowerment in your huge agency? Upper-level administrators seem to inhabit some unreachable plan. There are only so many hours in your workday. What are your options? Can you start small by trying to reach workers in your own unit? (There are seven of you who report to one supervisor.) Can you initiate training for yourself and the other six workers in your unit?
Will the unit and the agency accept an empowerment approach? What factors will help you and what will hinder you? What will training the unit staff cost? The agency may have some funding available to provide in-service training for workers, because it does require every worker to complete continuing education units (CEUs) on a regular basis. As a matter of fact, you have a flier announcing an empowerment training seminar led by an expert in the field. You also know of a social work professor in the local university who might be able to do some training or to refer you to someone who can. What would that cost? Is there any possibility of getting volunteers to do the training on a limited basis?
Are there other potential barriers to training besides cost? Certainly the agency’s CEU requirements are in your favor. Although the agency is in some turmoil due to new programs and requirements, it seems there has always been some degree of hubbub. That’s really nothing new. Training a single unit is a relatively small task. Ideally, you’d like to include the entire agency, but that’s something to think about in the future. You can think of no one outside the agency who would actively oppose your plan.
Do you think you can “pull off” such a project, even though training programs aren’t in your job description? What personal characteristics will work to your advantage in the process? For example, are you capable, responsible, and/or assertive? Do you have exceptionally strong communication or negotiation skills? On the other hand, what weaknesses do you have that might act against a successful change process? For example, is it difficult for you to ask for things? Do you consider yourself shy or lacking in confidence?
The bottom line is that you really want other workers to work with clients more effectively by adopting an empowerment approach. Your goal, then, is to figure out how to provide training to help them do just that. You’ve discussed the idea with colleagues who seemed mildly positive about it. You don’t think they’d be willing to take on primary responsibilities for the project, but it would be worthwhile speaking with some of them further.
Your colleague and friend Ortrude has some difficulties organizing and following through on details, but she usually speaks up for anything she believes in. Maybe you can win her support. There is also Virgilia, a hard-working, responsible worker who usually keeps her opinions to herself. You don’t feel you know her very well, but she might be in favor of your idea. On the downside, there’s your colleague and non-friend Bentley who typically “pooh-poohs” any innovative idea.
The agency’s voluntary In-service Training Committee suggests and plans training for various agency units, so you will have to approach its members, and they might be supportive—even though their funding is limited and fluctuating. Since you don’t personally know any committee members, you have no natural “in.”
As to people in the community, you’ve already established that at least one expert is available (though you don’t know what her fee would be) and that the professor at the university is another possibility.
What about your own position and how initiating such a project might affect you both professionally and personally. Your supervisor Astral is a “laid-back” type who generally gets her work done in a leisurely fashion. (Actually, you think she’s kind of “spacey.”) She is not someone to depend upon for high-powered consultations or for strong support for this initiative. On the other hand, if you’re willing to do the work yourself, she will probably approve the project and send it up for higher level authorization. All agency in-service training must be approved by the agency’s Assistant Director, Harvey. You think Harvey, a scrooge-like accountant at heart, is more likely to approve such a plan if it isn’t extremely costly.
