Remember, the basic purpose of the Executive Summary is to inform top officials at the client organization exactly what you are proposing -- in one or two pages. Be precise. Be complete. Organizing the Executive Summary (as well as other sections of the promotion campaign plan) in a bullet-type format is one effective way to present your material. I. REVIEW OF THE MARKETING PLAN II.

...office personnel. Recruitment Plan Interested applicants will need to submit a detailed resume to the Internet Job board Real Match. Potential candidates will post their resume which is then searched by our HR Coordinators. Real Match pairs candidates with employers and presents the results. Real Match takes job seekers' skills and qualifications and matches them up with jobs posted by employers. Employers post jobs for free, and then view a graded and ranked list of pre-qualified candidates. We pay only to contact qualified and potential candidates. This works well with our limited budget allowances. Advertising means will also be done in the local newspapers, and through employee referral. It is important that we get a good selection pool of candidates to ensure an exceptional fit. The newspapers and internet job board will advertise our vacancy for two weeks or 10 business days.

Define advertising and identify its types and roles. 3. Identify the five players in the advertising world. 4. Explain the evolution of the advertising industry and the current issues it faces. CHAPTER REVIEW Effectiveness is at the heart of companies’ desire to advertise. Though advertising ultimately aids in the sale of products or services, other factors such as price or lack of distribution may influence purchase decisions. Advertising effectiveness tends to be measured in terms of communication impact such as exposure to a message, awareness of a product, attention, and involvement. Most responses can be categorized as perception (seeing), learning (thinking), persuasion (feeling), or behavior (doing). Effective advertising stems from a combination of carefully planned strategy that connects to audience members on an emotional level and that isolates a need the product fulfills, creative that delivers the strategy, and strong, arresting executions. Six components comprise the classic definition of advertising. Advertising is a paid nonpersonal communication from an identified sponsor using mass media to persuade or influence an audience. Advertising can be classified into one of nine types. National consumer or brand advertising focuses on building long-term brand identity...

...How to write a case- some advice Corporate Strategy and Global policy Shanghai, January 2006 Randi Lunnan BI Norwegian School of Management Generally: You should have sufficient material in the case text and your course’s reading list to answer the case questions. If you have added information, e.g. from the internet, recent newspapers, you can include it and it may improve on your grade, although it is very possible to get an A from the material given to you. Sometimes there is little information in the case. A smart thing then to do is to take assumptions. Be, however, sure to state them clearly. If your assumptions are a bit “far off” it helps the reader a lot to be aware of them. It is always better, however, if the assumptions are reasonable and logical. Remember that your final paper is a test of how much you have learned in the course. An alternative evaluation form could be the exam. Be therefore sure to demonstrate high quality knowledge from class literature and discussions. The case exercise: There is no right or wrong answer to a case, but there could be many ways to solve a case that are better than others. A good way to solve a case includes careful insight into the competitive situation for this company – i.e. what are their main strategic challenges – and a consistent, theory based approach to how this company can meet these challenges. Hence, it is not a right or wrong game, but more a quest towards a consistent, coherent strategy choice. When you begin...

...Chapter One Introduction 1.1 Introduction Risk is inherent in all aspects of a commercial operation; however for Banks and financial institutions, credit risk is an essential factor that needs to be managed. Credit risk is the possibility that a borrower or counter party will fail to meet its obligations in accordance with agreed terms. Credit risk, therefore, arises from the bank’s dealings with or lending to corporates, individuals, and other banks or financial institutions. Credit Risk Grading is an important tool for credit risk management as it helps a Bank to understand various dimensions of risk involved in different credit transactions. The aggregation of such grading across the borrower, activities and the lines of business can provide better assessment of the quality of credit portfolio of a bank or a branch. The credit risk grading system is vital to take decisions both at the pre-sanction stage as well as post-sanction stage. At the pre-sanction stage, credit grading helps the sanctioning authority to decide whether to or not to lend, what should be the pricing for a particular exposure, what should be the exposure, what should be the appropriate credit facility, what the various facilities are and what are the various risk mitigation tools to put a cap on the risk level. At the post-sanction stage, the bank can decide about the depth of the review, periodicity of the grading, and other precautions to be taken. Having considered the significance and necessity...
