Business and Management Question – Secondary data analysis
As you may recall from previous weeks, some researchers have research questions in mind and then search for the appropriate databases. Others develop the research questions after they have reviewed the existing databases. Each approach has different requirements for knowledge, time, and resources. Some may even use both approaches, because the research questions may evolve and change after the researcher has explored the data. Consider the strengths and limitations of each approach and how you may use them within future research projects.
Business and Management Question – Officers and duties
As a patrol officer, you are only doing your job when you stop a car for running a red light. Unfortunately, the driver of the car happens to be the mayor. You give her a ticket anyway, but the next morning you get called into the captain’s office and told in no uncertain terms that you screwed up, for there is an informal policy extending “courtesy” to city politicians. Several nights later, you observe the mayor’s car weaving erratically across lanes and speeding. What would you do? What if the driver were a fellow police officer? What if it were a high school friend?
Business and Management Question – A key issue in postpurchase evaluation is cognitive dissonance –the anxiety or “buyer’s remorse” that can linger after high-involvement purchasing decisions.
A key issue in postpurchase evaluation is cognitive dissonance –the anxiety or “buyer’s remorse” that can linger after high-involvement purchasing decisions. Research has shown that some consumers are more likely to read ads for a product they already have purchased than ads for competing brands.
Purchasing high-priced products, products that are going to stick with us for years (or forever), or products from categories that include comparable brands can yield high levels of cognitive resonance. The luxury watchmaker Breitling has hired you to design an ad specifically intended to ease potential cognitive dissonance.
Questions
What steps could this company make to reach out the consumers after the purchase?
What advertising messages and imagery could be most effective in reinforcing the consumer’s decision to purchase the luxury watch?
What is the role of consumer research in determining the effectiveness of your recommendations?

Business and Management Question – Government impacts on business
Go to the Shell Scenarios webpage. Once you have navigated to the site, watch the “Shell New Lens Scenarios” video (1:38) found on that page. (If you have trouble locating the video, it can also be found on YouTube.) I found this YouTube link to work best. After watching the video, read the two scenarios, Mountains and Oceans, as well as pp. 22–24 in your textbook. (Mountains and Oceans is a PDF file found on the Shell Scenarios webpage.) Then, in your initial post, consider the following: Which of these scenarios do you think is most likely to occur? Defend your choice by analyzing it in the context of the deep historical forces outlined in the textbook. How does Shell utilize business teams in this process? What advice would you give Shell to prepare for its future to succeed in the face of likely governmental impacts?

Business and Management Question – The Pros and Cons of Mergers and Acquisitions
Review the following scenario:
You are the chief executive officer (CEO) of a 200-bed nonprofit community hospital that serves a rural community with a population of 50, 000. The demographics include a median household income of $38,000. Currently, slightly less than half of the population (45%) has employer-sponsored insurance, with 35% having a combination of Medicare and private supplemental insurance and the remaining 20% being uninsured. The population is aging, with 40% of the population expected to reach Medicare eligibility age within the next 5 years, where employer-sponsored insurance will shift to Medicare or a combination of Medicare and other supplemental insurance.
A group of internal medicine physicians specializing in geriatric medicine, including joint replacement surgeries, is looking to expand their services. The physician group has approached the hospital about merging their services with the hospital and expanding the hospital to include an ambulatory care center and outpatient surgical center.
Based on your analysis of the scenario, explain the potential risks and benefits of the merger. Be sure to address the following:
What, if any, opportunities are there for cost control if the decision to merge with the physician group is made by the hospital?
What are some of the changes in Medicare reimbursement that could affect the long-term success of the merger?
Would the community hospital be better served by countering the physician group’s offer to merge with the hospital or would acquiring the physician group better serve the hospital’s interests?
Describe any ethical considerations that could influence the CEO’s decision.
Write a 3-page paper in Word format. Utilize 2–3 SCHOLARLY sources in your research. Your paper should be clear, concise, and organized; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
