INTRODUCTION
As a business manager, you may encounter situations that require a wide variety of communication responses. For this assessment, you will be creating a portfolio of communication documents. Please appropriately format each communication for the message type.
SCENARIO
Scenario 1
You are a manager of a company that has recently purchased and merged with a smaller company. The purchased company has an existing product, which will now be part of your product offering. The product is a weight-loss supplement called Kamelon. The product has been very successful for the previous owner, but the company had a limited ability to adjust its manufacturing system to accommodate growth, as well as a limited potential sales audience. Your role is to oversee and coordinate all aspects of launching the product from the newly acquired company. You have a far greater manufacturing capacity and more potential customers readily available because you already sell several weight loss-related products to a large base of customers.
Kamelon has been proven successful by a limited research study. The study consisted of 100 participants, 90% of whom lost at least 15 pounds over a reasonable time period. To date, the study participants who lost at least 15 pounds have successfully maintained their weight loss by continuing to use the product, and 80% were able to maintain their weight loss with continued use of Kamelon. The 10% of study participants who lost less than 15 pounds may have been unsuccessful because they did not follow the program’s protocol. An inherent risk of a weight-loss product is the inability to determine whether the product has produced results or if the user has not followed directions. Dissatisfied customers present a challenge as a result.
Your success relies on your external business partner Synesthor, who continues to manufacture the pill casing for Kamelon. There is a need for 10 million pills to be manufactured in the next three months to meet the demands of your customers. Synesthor is a manufacturing company located in South America, and you will need to work closely with this partner to ensure their manufacturing operation is able to meet the demand as needed in a just-in-time environment. Your contact’s name at Synesthor is Fatima Sousa.
You have received a customer complaint via the company’s social media page. The customer is extremely dissatisfied, and the complaint has negatively impacted the company’s image. The customer’s complaint is as follows: “Kamelon does not work! I’ve been using this for a week, and I haven’t lost anything! I’m going on vacation in a couple of weeks, and I was hoping to shed a couple of pounds before I left for my trip. Unfortunately, I do not foresee this happening. No one should buy this product! As a faithful member of several weight-loss groups, I will not recommend this product to anyone in my groups.”
Scenario 2
You are a manager in a small pharmaceutical distributor. Your company has been awarded an exclusive contract to distribute a new medication.
Nasaquil is an over-the-counter medication that has been approved to treat influenza. Nasaquil will compete directly with prescription antiviral medications.
Your company, through your sales and customer service representatives, already has extensive relationships with medical providers. There is great anticipation within the market about the potential efficacy of this new medication. According to estimates by a government agency, from 2010 to 2020, there were approximately 9 to 41 million flu illnesses with an estimated 12,000 to 52,000 flu-related deaths in the United States.
Initial clinical trials indicate that Nasaquil may help to lower influenza’s severity and duration; however, clinical trials only demonstrate a new medication’s efficacy in a small group of patients over a limited amount of time. Long-term product efficacy rates have not yet been established. As with all new medication launches, your company anticipates patient dissatisfaction if desired results are not achieved. In those cases, the company will work directly with the patients.
The success of Nasaquil relies on an external business partner located in Europe, Pruhart Tech, that manufactures the refrigerated casing designed specifically for this product. The product is required to be shipped overnight in a temperature-controlled package. Unfortunately, Pruhart Tech has limited refrigerated shipping containers, and the availability is restricted to weekend deliveries only. You will need to work closely with this partner to ensure that their manufacturing operation is able to increase as needed in a just-in-time environment to meet sales demands. Your contact’s name at Pruhart Tech is Diego Garcia.
You have received a customer complaint via the company’s social media page. The customer is extremely dissatisfied, and the complaint has negatively impacted the company’s image. The customer’s complaint is as follows: “Nasaquil does not work! My wife started Nasaquil and got very ill! I don’t understand how big pharma companies get away with rolling out unsafe drugs that can hurt people! Dealing with all of the medical appointments and issues is bad enough, but this sickness . . . I cannot wait for the patient support meeting tomorrow to share this medication’s reaction. Maybe this drug shouldn’t be approved yet.”
Scenario 3
You are a manager of a research company. Your research team has developed a transition package that allows a gas-powered engine to transition to run on biofuels. The availability and low cost of biofuels make the transition package a potential game changer in the automobile market. You have named the product Sparkit.
In addition to tests completed by your staff, you have partnered with a large automobile manufacturer to ensure that the transition package works with many different types of vehicles. The large automobile manufacturer remains a partner in the product as a result of their involvement, and you anticipate that future vehicles from the producer may use the technology when initially built. With the manufacturer’s assistance, you anticipate that 50% of cars currently on the road can potentially be retrofitted with your product. The automobile manufacturer has created a guide for your sales force to ensure that Sparkit is not sold to customers whose cars are not compatible with the product.
This is the first big product developed by your company. Your sales and service teams do not have current relationships with potential buyers. One potential risk is that purchasers may choose to install the transition package on their own rather than choose a knowledgeable automotive professional to install it. You anticipate that there may be issues with installation as a result.
The success of Sparkit relies on an external partner in Asia, Autojor, that manufactures a filter critical to the proper operation of the transition package. As the result of a natural disaster, Autojor recently lost a manufacturing plant that was responsible for producing 25% of your inventory. You will need to work closely with this partner to ensure that their manufacturing operation is able to continue supporting the just-in-time environment to meet sales demands. Your contact’s name at Autojor is Mateo Kalani.
You have received a customer complaint via the company’s social media page. The customer is extremely dissatisfied, and the complaint has negatively impacted the company’s image. The customer’s complaint is as follows: “I bought and installed Sparkit. It doesn’t work! The instructions do not match my engine’s layout, and now my car doesn’t work at all. This was supposed to save me money, but now my car won’t run. I’ll have to put more money into getting it fixed. This is ridiculous. I have told all my friends, and now I am telling the world—do not buy this product! If you do, you will regret it.”

This is to be a Word file with extensions of .doc or .docx.  If your paper is too long to submit due to photo/media attached, convert it to a .pdf.  This may reformat your paper for submission purposes.  If your paper will not submit, remove the photos or contact CANVAS HELP DESK for assistance.  The number is 850-644-8004.
The papers are to be submitted as TurnItIn assignments.  See below for directions.
1.  This paper is to be five pages in content, excluding photos, and references.  No cover sheet is required.
2.  Number each page and place the number centered and at the bottom of the page.
3.  Double space all text, use .5 (1/2 inch) margins all around.
4.  Use 12 point font in either Times Roman or Courier.  As you double space, the paragraphs between headings will automatically be double spaced from the text above and below each. 
5.  Begin the paper with this heading:
My Opinion:  Why This Event is Important (centered at the top of the page). 
This heading page is not a cover/title page (not required) nor is it a separate page from your paper.  It is to be at the top of your paper, followed by the sub-headings.  All headings/sub-headings are in bold.  This is page 1 of the 5 pages. We know who you are by your submission, so no need to waste space on this paper with adding a title/cover page with your name, date, etc.
If you add photos or other media, add these at the end of your paper.  As said, this does not count toward your 5 pages.  You must have 5 pages of text.  The reference sheet is in ADDITION to the five pages of text and is a separate page at the end of your paper, before photos are added.  Use APA style when submitting references. 
This is an opportunity for you to discuss your interest in Event Planning and introduce an event you would like to plan. Provide a short paragraph on the importance of event planning—in your own opinion–not a regurgitation of the information in the text, then use the Introduction and the remainder of the paper to explain your special event.
Please use the following list of sub-headings after the first heading.  Each subheading is indented five spaces from the left for your paper and as stated, appear in bold. 
The text under the sub-heading starts with a new paragraph, which begins with indentation, but the remaining text is flush left with ragged edges on the right (default in Word). 
Example formatting:  
Event Planning, Why Event Planning is Important (this is an example heading)
Event planning is important because of the various celebrations and memorable moments in both individuals and groups alike, which deserve to be themed with regard to decor, food, and entertainment.  The stress often experienced by one or more persons associated with the event can be rather overwhelming; therefore, I believe designating someone for hire provides releases those included in the event the freedom to assist, if necessary, with planning the occasion without the responsibility of execution.  Event planners are professionals at providing every detail necessary including equipment, entertainment, meals, decor, venue, weather options, service personnel, lighting, security, and many other support services needed for an event to be successful.  Below is an event I would like to plan as an event planner.
Introduction (example)
I have a passion for animals, especially dogs!  I hope to offer an event planning business to shelters in and around my community to assist in getting animals adopted to their forever homes that have been visited and approved worthy of an adopted animal.  I will offer marketing services as well as a venue to shelters for donations, hoping to get a grant for this type of work.  I am an avid animal activist and involved with shelters in five counties surrounding the Tallahassee, Florida area.  The first event is planned for Memorial Day and will be held at the Doggie Pool at the Tallahassee Public Pool, which will feature a wading pool for dogs, free dog baths, and grooming services for a reduced price.  Each adoptee will not only gain a canine friend, but the dog will receive neuter and spay services, special food, chipping, all vaccines, and recommendations for local veterinarians who offer reduced prices for services for adopted dogs.
Background (example)
The reason I have selected Shelters for Canine Companions is ….
Continue writing your paper as the example above  
Theme and Details
Use this area of your paper to discuss the theme of a special event or possibly, your focus as an Event Planner.  For instance, if you were to offer services to the public, what would you call your company, what special services would you offer, where would you offer your services (locations), and why you believe your business or event would be special to others.
Challenges
Explain the possible challenges you would face when planning events or that you might have as an Event Planner.  You have read several chapters in your book that explains the difficulties, considerations, and ramifications of being in the business, so please use this area of your paper to express your understanding of each.
Opportunities
In this final phase of your paper, explain the benefits of your event, what you hope to accomplish, why you would pursue such an endeavor, and how you think it will fare in the future based on your skills, knowledge, and abilities.
This paper can be started at any time; however, it is due by Friday of the week it is assigned by 11:59 PM.  It is worth 100 points.
Have fun, include photos if you want at the end of your paper along with your reference sheet, if applicable.  Be careful to check grammar, punctuation, and spelling!  You will be graded on completeness and use of proper spelling, grammar, punctuation and meeting the page requirements (90 points) of the above requested information and originality (10 points).  Late papers will not be accepted.
