  Suggestions for and against of utilizing the available space of restaurant

  $22.50

  Services Marketing

  Elias Farmington owns a relaxed, comfort food restaurant in downtown Busyville, NH. He serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and is open from 6am to 9pm. His restaurant is very busy from 7-9am, 11am-1pm, and 4-7pm. Sometimes there are lines outside and a packed lobby, which changes the “relaxed” atmosphere he works hard to maintain. He wants his customers to be served in a timely manner, and to enjoy their experience there, but the busy times stress his staff and the slow times are not productive, since he only makes money through “table turnover” and “average check” per turnover.

  He is considering the following options:

  1. The space next door to his restaurant is available and he could expand into that space, but it is very expensive, would need to be a long term lease, and would require extensive renovations (also very expensive). Should Elias take the chance and invest? Explain your thinking by discussing the pros and cons.

  2. Elias’ staff works 8 hour shifts, with one 30 minute and two (2) 15 minutes breaks, meaning 7 hours of productivity per shift. He is considering adding some additional kitchen and wait staff, and shortening the shifts to 4 hours. He needs to figure out how to schedule the newly configured staff to cover the busy times and cleanup/setup in between. What might a new schedule look like and why/how will it help Elias with productivity? Explain your thinking by discussing the pros and cons.

  3. Elias’ daughter wants to extend the business by starting up a food truck which will go on breakfast and lunch schedules to a local industrial park and 2 other areas of the city where a large number of their customers work. She wants to take orders ahead of time and use the food truck as a delivery method, and also let customers place orders and get them to go right from the truck. Will this smooth demand in the restaurant so it is less busy at peak hours, while maintaining Elias’ customer base? Or will the cost of the truck, staff and service outweigh the sales potential? How will he know how many customers will come in rather than use the truck service on any given day? How would he schedule the kitchen and wait staff to be sure he could manage demand in the restaurant?   Explain your thinking by discussing the pros and cons.

  4. Elias’ son has come up with some promotional ideas to help smooth demand, such as early bird specials with senior citizen discounts to bring some dinner folks in early, and brunch specials to bridge the hours between breakfast and lunch. These would minimize the rush periods somewhat, while increasing the table turn over the course of the day. However, there might be some minimizing of the average check, also. Elias wonders, will this be offset by increased volume at off peak times? Will it also make it difficult to clean up and setup between busy times, adding stress to his staff?   What would it take to pull this off successfully and affordably? Explain your thinking by discussing the pros and cons.

  5. Elias’s brother says that Elias should raise his prices and “thin the herd” of breakfast and lunch customers. Will the increase in check amount per table balance the lost income from customers not willing or able to pay the higher prices? Is there another way to incorporate pricing into the solution?   Explain your thinking by discussing the pros and cons.

  What should Elias do? The downside of success can sometimes be having too many options, and not knowing which will fail and which will succeed.   The key is understanding customers and services marketing. After you discuss the pros and cons of each of the above suggestions, choose the best option or blend of options and explain IN GREAT DETAIL WHY YOU BELIEVE IT WILL BE SUCCESSFUL!

  Your midterm should be 2-3pages, 1.5 spaced with 1 “ margins in 11 point Arial or Times New Roman type. It should take the following format:

  1. List the important components and considerations in the case.
  2. For each option, describe and discuss the pros and cons thoroughly (minimum of 1 fully developed paragraph for each pro and each con).
  3. List and discuss the constraints for each option in detail.
  4. Thoroughly discuss the options, including relating the pros, cons and constraints to the components and considerations you listed.
  5. Select the best option or blend of options, and explain in great detail how it will address the issues in the case and why it is the best way to do so.

  Grading will be as follows:

  Pro’s, cons, constraints – 15 points for each option, (total 75)based on depth of analysis, use of services marketing concepts, writing, and organization of thinking in your paragraphs.

  Relating option choice to components and considerations – 10 points, based on thoroughness of discussion, ability to make and describe connections among services marketing concepts and the analysis of available options. As always, writing and organization is expected so that your thinking is clearly understood.

  Explanation of how chosen option addresses issues best – 15 points, based on thoroughness and depth of discussion, writing and organization, use of services marketing concepts and terminology.

  Assignment 1 Scope

  $20.00

  Assignment 1 Scope
  The scope of this assignment is Procurement applied to your PM organization. It is designed to apply new concepts in a practical way.

  1. Choose a web site specific to a contractor or supplier related to your field in PM.
     Identify the company and very briefly summarize their scope of activities. Note that there are not many marks for this part of the assignment. It represents an introduction and framework for the balance of the assignment.
  2. Discuss with the support of appropriate refereed articles, the ways the web site enables you to carry out preliminary prequalification of the company (for a hypothetical tender). In this part you should make up a tender scenario associated with the company you have identified. Don’t be too elaborate. Think and write about prequalification and show the ways that the company provides specific prequalification information on its web site. Identify prequalification information/ detail where it occurs. Obviously the web site will have to have some appropriate information that would relate to prequalification. If not, choose another web site that does.
  3. With reference to your own Project management organization, describe how prequalification will help produce a successful project outcome. Think about your organization and suggest the benefits to tendering processes that you may achieve when you carefully prequalify the company that you have identified.

  Acknowledgment of Sources
  All resources used must be acknowledged using Chicago style of referencing. You should read extensively to complete this task.
  The assignment is not to exceed 4 pages or 1500-2000 words long. The word count must be recorded.

  Extended Argument (Synthesis #1)

  $25.00

  Having the Critique under your belt as well some of the brief homework reflections must feel pretty good. Use this confidence as we now move into our first long paper of the semester, Synthesis #1. At first, see this paper as anextended argumentyou make about a particular topic using secondary sources to help prove your point.

  Topic Selection

  Choosing a topic for your Synthesis #1 is important and must argue a specific point you choose. In other words, you must have an arguable thesis and it must relate to the readings in the Media and Popular Culture chapter we have been reading. You may wish to extend the argument of one of the readings, or refute it, or build on it in a different way. Do not simply argue that a certain reading or author is right or wrong and repeat how so; instead, use the readings as a springboard for you to investigate a topic and put together ideas in new or different way. To help you with is selection,I am requiring you to email me your topic idea and receive my approval. I am doing this to make sure you will have a workable topic and so I can suggest strategies right away.

  What is a Synthesis?

  If anything confuses a student when writing an essay like this, it is the actual term “synthesis”. Don’t worry too much about term; instead, see what you are doing as arguing a position with a variety of sources to help you; you are building an argument by bringing ideas together (aka synthesis). What you want to do in this essay is show that you cansustain a logical, persuasive argument and control/use sources to your persuasive end. Try to have your secondary sources have a “dialogue” with each other in terms of what they do and do not agree with in relation to your argued positions. We will practice this in class.

  Additional Help with Synthesis

  A key strategy for a synthesis essay is to “establish connections among readings”. The more you can have a “dialogue” between your sources, the more credible you will be as an author and the more importance you may place on your assessment of the ideas being discussed. This is the lifeblood of academic essays in almost all disciplines.

  Also, this is an essay that may really be helped out by using some of the templates fromThey Say/I Say. I may assign that you use them in a certain order, but even if not, the templates are excellent ways to start “saying something” if you are stuck. Review pages 55-75 inThey Say/I Sayfor some directions.

  Required Sources

  I am requiring you to use between 3-5 sources to help your write your essay here. I would like you to use at least 2 from the readings thus far in the semester. You may certainly use more. You

  should also bring in other sources your find on your own as long as they are credible and work in the assignment. Please use MLA Style for this essay as well as a Works Cited page.

  The Assignment

  Compose a5-7page essay writing an argument synthesis about a topic that you specify. You should argue a specific point and use sources to help prove your ideas and persuade the reader. Do not simply argue the same point or idea from a source; instead, add your own ideas and perspective to make your argument greater than any one source.

  With a bit more length to write, you may use extended examples, more citation and paraphrase and most important, discussion amongst your sources. Predictably, your essay should have an engaging introduction, clearly organized body, and effective conclusion, as well as proper formatting throughout.

  We will have two separate writing workshops with peers on your rough draft and ideas, and also another class workshop on MLA Style.

  Nuts and Bolts:

  Typed, double-space, 1″ margins. Please use Standard Written English! MLA Style and Works Cited Page please.
  5pages is fine.

  What is a mind map?

  A mind map is a diagram used to visually organise information. A mind map is often created around a single concept, drawn as an image in the centre of a blank landscape page, to which associated representations of ideas such as images, words and parts of words are added. Major ideas are connected directly to the central concept, and other ideas branch out from those.

  As with other diagramming tools, mind maps can be used to generate, visualise, structure, and classify ideas, and as an aid to studying and organising information, solving problems, making decisions, and writing. Mind maps are tools which help you think and learn. (http://www-public.jcu.edu.au/learningskills/resources/lsonline/mindmapping/)

  Why Einstein is able to come up with the formula and what makes him so successful

  $2.00

  Reading article . go to the link http://www.stresscure.com/hrn/einstein.html

  Discuss about what do you learn from einstein’s story.

  it could be “Why einstein is able to come up with the formula and what makes him so successful “

  it could be something like

  Einstein has been able to see further, it was only because he stood on the shoulders of giants. He cant come up with the formula without the existing science and math formula

  Or something like

  ” you didn’t know you had some Einstein in you!

  The amazing thing about Einstein wasn’t so much his intellect–it was his COURAGE. Not only did he dare to question “gospel truths” that everyone around believed in very strongly, but he also had the courage to stick to his guns when everyone around him started attacking him intensely.

  He was confident in his assessments. He stood firm in the face of expanding criticism, because he was clear he was on to something “real” and important. And no matter how strongly people disagreed with him, he maintained his integrity and didn’t cave in. “
