[order_calculator]The Marketing Mix: Products and Brands
Case Assignment
This case involves thinking about the meaning brands have for consumers, the roles brands play, and the views customers have of brands developed through marketing and non-marketing influences.
The background readings for the module introduce you to ways of analyzing products and brands and the case reading relates to a study of the relationship consumers have had with brands. These are related to one another and you should apply the former in this case assignment.
Write a paper of no more than four pages in length (excluding title and reference pages and any appendices) addressing the following question:
In her 1998 paper identified in the background readings, Susan Fournier argues that customers have relationships with brands.
1. Explain what Fournier means by “having a relationship” with a brand.
2. Using two brands chosen from the categories below, explain whether or not you believe that customers have relationships with those brands.
3. Expand your thinking and explain whether, based on Fournier’s paper, your own experience and your knowledge of other people, customers have relationships with all brands.
Case Readings
Fournier S. (1998). Consumers and their brands: Developing relationship theory in consumer research. Journal of Consumer Research. 24:4(March).
Available through Library Portal/Proquest, March 7, 2013
Vargo, S.L., and R.F. Lusch (2004). Evolving to a new dominant logic for marketing. Journal of Marketing, 68(January):1-17. Available through Library Portal/Proquest, March 7, 2013
Ensure that on the title page of your paper you both repeat the assignment in bold above in full and verbatim and state the two product categories and brands you are examining.
There are three case readings, Susan Fournier’s 1998 article in which, amongst other things, she argues that consumers have relationships with brands and an article reporting the results of a study by a market research firm saying that mostly they don’t. Other marketing academics have also said that they don’t, (e.g. Vargo and Lusch, (2004), in a Journal of Marketing article state that “inanimate items of exchange cannot have relationships”). Ah but is a brand an “inanimate item of exchange”? Perhaps they do but only under certain circumstances? That is for you to consider.
In order to answer this question you are required to identify ONE brand from each of TWO of categories shown below and explore Fournier’s idea that consumers have relationships with them.
Sources of information for this case may include:
•Introspection, though you should not rely solely on anecdotal evidence.
•Questioning friends and colleagues – strongly recommended.
While you may be tempted to simply rely on anecdotal personal information and write about your own relationship (or non-relationship) with a chosen brand, you will learn a lot more by broadening your horizons and thinking like a marketer, which means going beyond your own perceptions and understanding the way other people perceive products. When sourcing friends and colleagues make sure to reference them as sources, (just as you should with personal sources used for your SLP), e.g. “Smith, John, personal communication dated March 10th. 2011” if you received an email or “Smith, Mary, interview held on March 10th. 2011” if you had a conversation with the person.
You should also bear in mind that a fundamental goal, as with all the cases in MKT301, is to stimulate your learning and your answers should therefore aim to demonstrate that learning. In answering the question ensure that you demonstrate your understanding of products and branding, and in particular the concept of “having a relationship”, as well as your learning from the previous module.
The three categories are:
•Brand of AUTOMOBILE.
•Brand of FAST FOOD RESTAURANT.
•Brand of CHOCOLATE CANDY BAR
Select ONE brand from TWO of these product categories, (e.g. you might choose a brand of AUTOMOBILE and a brand of fast food restaurant, and a brand of chewing gum and so on).
Apart from the information you normally put on your title page (see Module 1 case guidance for a reminder), also list there the two brands you have examined. That is a requirement.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU INCLUDE THE NORMAL INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR A TITLE PAGE (see guidance for module 1) AS WELL AS THE TWO PRODUCT CATEGORIES AND BRAND NAMES ON THE TITLE PAGE OF YOUR PAPER. IF YOU DO NOT INCLUDE THIS INFORMATION ON THE TITLE PAGE YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO REVISE THE PAPER TO INCLUDE THEM AND DOING SO WILL THUS DELAY THE GRADING OF YOUR WORK.
Assignment Expectations
It is not assumed that you will agree with Dr. Fournier that people have relationships with brands, nor is it assumed that you will necessarily disagree. Clearly marketing scholars disagree about this so you can too! You might choose two brands, examine them, examine what it means to “have a relationship with a brand” and conclude that this idea does not hold water and has no benefits for marketers, in the process explaining why Dr. Fournier is wrong in your opinion. On the other hand you might conclude that her idea holds for one of the brands you have examined and not for the other, or perhaps holds for some people and not for others. Contrasting the two will be very important in that instance. Or you might conclude that it holds for both.
In addition, you needn’t assume that relationships are necessarily good ones.
If you wish to include support or illustrative materials feel free to include these in an appendix of no more than three pages, but ensure that you refer to this material in the body of the paper.
Use information from the background readings as well as the case paper. Please cite all sources and provide a reference list at the end of the paper.
The following will be assessed in particular:
•Your demonstrated understanding of the marketing concepts central to the case question.
•Your ability to assess Fournier’s arguments regarding relationships.
•Your demonstrated understanding of branding and customer relationships based on insights regarding both derived from the Fournier paper and your own experience and research.
The criteria used for assessment will be those explained on the MOD01 Home page, namely:
•Focus.
•Breadth.
•Depth.
•Critical thinking.
•Effective communication skills.
The following is a suggestion about how to lay out your paper.
•Brief introduction: what problem your paper addresses, and you might indicate the answer you have found.
•Examination of central concepts: “brand”, “positioning” and “relationship”.
•Examination of Fournier’s argument as to “what is a relationship?” *
•Examination of whether people have relationships with your two chosen brands.
•Examination of whether people have relationships with all brands. **
•Conclusion: answer the question “Do consumers have relationships with brands?”
* The case article is written for a narrow academic audience well educated in the issues and the relevant background literature, which I recognize you are not so I shall try to give you some insight into her arguments here.
** The second and third readongs readings might lead you to think that obviously they don’t as that’s what their findings seem to show show for many brands, but do the people who conducted either of those studies ever explain what they mean by “having a relationship with a brand”, and if not, how do you know then that their results show anything relevant? Think about it. It is important to be clear what “having a relationship with a brand” means and Fournier tries to do this.
Most papers published in academic journals, such as Fournier’s are intended for an academic audience. Generally the authors start by trying to answer two questions:
1. Why is my paper important?
2. How does it relate to what has been written about this subject before?
As far as you are concerned neither of those questions are really important to you as you’re not the intended academic audience and so you can largely ignore the paragraphs which deal with them.
However, there are then some important sections.
Prof. Fournier goes on to try to answer the question “How can a person have “a relationship” with an inanimate object (or a brand)?” by referring to past academic writing about brands and relationships. She tries to answer this by explaining what she means by “a relationship”, and argues that in some ways branding and the management of brands makes inanimate objects animate.
So pay attention to:
P344: “For a relationship to truly exist, interdependence between partners must be evident: that is, the partners must collectively affect, define and redefine the relationship”. If you accept that, does it hold true for you with the two bands you have chosen?
P344: “One way to legitimize the brand-as-partner is to highlight ways in which brands are animated, humanized or somehow personalized.” Do the marketers of your chosen brands do this somehow, and if so how?
P345: “theories of animism… the brand is somehow possessed by the spirit of a past or present other… Spokespersons… the brand becomes the spokesperson… Brand person associations… air freshener that grandmother kept in her bathroom, a floor cleaner that an ex-husband always used… gifts… infused with the spirit of the giver. Complete anthropomorphization of the brand… Charlie Tuna and the Pillsbury dough boy. … people assign selective human properties to a range of consumer goods.” Is this true for your chosen brands?
P345: The paragraph beginning “For the brand to serve as legitimate relationship partner…” is important as this argues that the qualities she has discussed above are not sufficient for a brand to be regarded as a potential relationship partner. Study that and the following paragraph (to “…into the brand domain as well.”) as it makes an important argument about why brands can be so regarded, and you may well not agree with it.
There are then some discussions about the meanings people derive from brands. Think about whether even if a brand has a meaning for a consumer, that is enough for it and the consumer to be regarded as having “a relationship”.
There are two further sections (Multiplex phenomena and Dynamic Perspective) before the next section on “Methodology” and you might find these difficult to understand. If so don’t worry, as if you can digest and think about the ideas I have indicated above you’ll have enough for you to think about the case question.
Then focus on the much easier to read and understand transcripts of the three women who Prof. Fournier studies, and use these to get a sense of what it is she was looking for, or what it is she discovered when she interviewed them, and use those insights to help inform your own consideration of the two brands you have selected.
In the notes above I have tried to highlight what you should focus on when reading the early pages of the paper as there is some difficult to read material in those first few pages. The pages reporting the results of the interviews should be a lot easier (and more enjoyable) to read.
Finally, note that I do not expect you to spend a lot of time undertaking additional research for this case. Use the background teaching materials and the Fournier paper and THINK. This case study is intended to get you to think more deeply about products, brands, what it is that marketers do, how consumers view and “relate to” brands, (if they do), and to deepen your understanding of all that by relating it to your own experience and that of people you know.

[order_calculator]Assignment Overview
One specialized type of security is called an equity futures. This is a contract that guarantees you a share of a particular company to be delivered to you not today, but sometime in the future, at a price that is determined by the market right now. This price is usually called the futures price of the stock (note – the term is plural – “futures”). If you ‘buy’ this futures, you don’t pay for the shares now. You are actually signing a contract whereby you are committed to pay that price in a particular date in the future, and you are guaranteed to receive one share of the company at that time, irrespective of its actual market price at that future date. Suppose for example that the futures price of the XYZ company is $40. Suppose you ‘buy’ a 6-months futures contract. If six months later the share price is $45, you gain $5 per share. If the market price in 6 months is only $35, then you lose $5.
Using the Yahoo Finance take a look at the five year chart for your reference company (the one you chose for SLP1). Using this chart and other information you can find on this company, write a paper answering the following question:
What do you think would the futures price of 100 shares of your reference company to be delivered to you in one year be right now?
SLP Assignment Expectations
The paper is to be two pages long. You DO NOT need to use complex mathematical formulas for this assignments. Instead, think about how much do you think the market value of 100 shares of your company will be in one year? In considering the possible answer please reflect also on the following:
Do you expect the price of the shares in one year to be much higher? Or lower? Or only a little bit higher?
How risky the stock is. Is its price prone to wild swings up and down? Or has the price been relatively stable the last few years?
What alternative investments you have access to. What rate does your bank give you on a savings account or certificate of deposit? The greater return you can get on other investments, the less you would be willing to pay for an equity future.

[order_calculator]Why is business continuity planning important?
Business Continuity Planning (BCP) is a critical business process which requires the participation of managers from all parts of the enterprise. The CISO and CISO staff members should be key players on the BCP team. In this learning activity you will learn more about the BCP process and then answer questions about CISO participation on this team.
Watch three Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) videos on the importance of Business Continuity Planning (BCP). Follow these instructions to access the videos:
1. Open the READY.GOV Web site: http://www.ready.gov/business-continuity-planning-suite
2. Scroll down to the tabs and read the content under the tab labeled “Learn about the tools”
3. Click on the tab labeled “Business Continuity Video Training.”
4. Click on and watch the first three videos on the Web page:
(a) Business Continuity Training – Introduction,
(b) Business Continuity Training – Part One What is Business Continuity Planning?
(c) Business Continuity Training – Part Two Why is Business Continuity Planning Important?
If you cannot view the videos, read the transcripts which are posted below this discussion question.
After you have watched the videos (or read the transcripts), reflect upon the relationship between business continuity planning and the overarching security requirements to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information and information systems EVEN DURING A DISASTER. Write a plain English explanation of this relationship. In your explanation, address the following:
Identify and discuss three reasons (from the videos) as to why business continuity planning is important to an organization’s overall information systems security program.
Identify and discuss the harm that could occur if a business is not prepared to respond to a disaster which prevents restoration of business operations at the original site within 72 hours (3 days) — the standard time criteria for invocation of a business continuity plan after a disaster has occurred.
How can the CISO and CISO staff members help to ensure that the BCP process appropriately addresses information systems security issues?
Your response HAVE PROPER APA format in-text citations and reference.

[order_calculator]Specific papers that are directly related to your professional studies have been selected for each group. Details of these papers are provided at the end of this guide. However, regardless of your professional background, the approach you will need to adopt will be similar.
Start by reading through the paper(s) that have been set, and try to write notes about what the authors were trying to do (aim, which should be clearly stated in the introduction), how they designed the study (method), what the main results were (results), and the conclusions they drew from these results (discussion and conclusions). This approach mirrors the IMRAD system which focuses on the main sections of research reports. Even at this early stage in the process you should be able to write brief notes under each of these headings. If you can’t then it is possible that the article is written in an unappealing, overtly-technical, jargonistic manner. A critical appraisal is about making reasoned judgements like this. However, to successfully complete the assignment you will have to use a more formal and detailed system to allow you to systematically examine a series of different features that determine quality.
Formal critical appraisal systems, such as the CONSORT statement for evaluating randomised controlled trials and the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme, focus on the methods section –with good reason. This is the most important section of any research article as it provides details of how data collection was designed and executed. If there are flaws here the results may be corrupted making conclusions meaningless. Whilst the CONSORT statement contains comprehensive guidance for the scrutiny of randomised controlled trials, the CASP tools are perhaps more user friendly for the first-time user, and cover a wider range of research designs. These tools do still focus on important issues and can be confidently used to provide a framework for a critique.
Although CONSORT and CASP are referred to here, many research methods texts will provide a guide to critical appraisal in the form of a series of questions. It is acceptable to use the system you find most appealing. In fact, the best critiques may use a particular tool as a framework, but will bring in elements from alternative tools / texts as appropriate. A formulaic approach, which takes each question in a single tool in turn and offers short, unreferenced, comments will be unlikely to do well.
Although all tools are different, they share an overall focus on three issues:
Is the study valid?
This is perhaps the most difficult question to address. It refers to the method used to gather data, and is asking if it was truly capable of measuring the variables of interest, or if it has been measured in some other way that is flawed.
What are the results?
Purely a descriptive exercise, this question relates to a clear expression of the main findings of the results. It is vital that you can summarise the results succinctly.
Will the results help locally?
Research is always conducted on a sample of subjects, and asking if that sample is similar enough to your population of patients to make the results applicable to you is a vital question. Although you don’t have any clinical experience on which to base this judgement, you should comment on the suitability of the paper to inform practice generally – asking ‘is this good enough to warrant a change in my practice?.
The structure of the critique is also important. An introductory paragraph describing the main focus of the article, and explaining the relevance of the topic area, is a good scene setter. This information should be found in the introduction to the article. When taking your first steps in critical appraisal you are clearly not going to know if the ‘state of the art’ is being provided. However, you should get a clear sense of the authors understanding and knowledge of the subject area by reading this information. If it is unclear then you have to ask if it is jargonistic, lacks clarity, or omits information necessary to understand the thought process behind the research. At the end of the introduction / start of the method, there should be a clear statement of the aim or presentation of a hypothesis, and if you are not sure what is being researched by this stage, then clearly the paper has failed to provide the most fundamental information.
Finally, remember that a critique balances strengths and weaknesses
It is relatively easy to trash a paper, but ‘going for the jugular’ will not assure you of a better grade. True objectivity is the goal, where the strengths and weaknesses are balanced to lead to a justified conclusion. A vast majority of research papers have something to offer, and if you dismiss everything in a paper it is probably because you have failed to balance its strengths and weaknesses. If you haven’t found at least one or two positives in the paper, then you should look more closely.
