PART 1: Read this article, “In Sneaker Wars, It’s Also Curry (Under Armour) vs. James (Nike)”, on the use of celebrity endorsements in the competition between Nike and Under Armour. Think about a time when a celebrity endorsement influenced you to buy a product. In the discussion thread, describe the following:

1. The product and the celebrity endorsing it
2. How the endorsement influenced your decision to buy the product

You are to select 1 business that does not already have a Website, and develop an Internet strategy for it. Most large corporations already have Web sites, so you may have to think of something on a smaller scale such as a local bike store. Sole proprietorship businesses that provide services like car repair, house cleaning, tax preparation, and that use the Internet and similar services are also good options. You will also consider and describe how the business that you select can use social media to achieve its objectives. Use the Internet and the library to research and analyze markets and competitors.

After selecting a business, you will need to answer the following questions:

• What Internet business model would be appropriate for the company to follow in creating a Web site and why?
• In what ways can the business benefit from a Web site? What functions should it perform for the company (e.g., marketing, sales, customer support, internal communications, etc.)?
• In what other ways might the company use the Internet for its own benefit?
• Prepare functional specifications for the company’s use of the Web and the Internet. Include links to and from other sites in your design.
• Prepare a list of technological specifications for implementation (e.g., what hardware and software are necessary to support your design)?

Please submit your assignment.

• Title page: Remember the running head. The title should be in all capitals.
• Abstract: A summary of your paper, not an introduction. Begin writing in third-person voice.

Anticipating Barriers to Implementation

Marcus is a health care administrator who recently approved a new youth anti-smoking program at community centers located throughout an urban residential area. When Marcus approved the health program for his health care agency, he was awarded a substantial budget to implement this program for a period of three years. However, Marcus was just informed that his budget has been reduced by 25% and initial brochures and flyers that have already been distributed will need to be revised before the first initial community meeting that will introduce the youth anti-smoking program. How might Marcus address these challenges and how might these barriers impact the implementation of the youth anti-smoking program?

For this Discussion, review and reflect on the types of barriers covered in this week’s resources. Consider how these types of barriers might affect the implementation of a marketing plan. Then, consider strategies that a health care administrator might implement to address these barriers.

By Day 3

Post a brief explanation of what types of barriers that health care administrators might face during the implementation process of a marketing plan. Then, propose two strategies that health care administrators might use to best address the barriers identified, and explain why. Be specific and provide examples.

As the company HR leader, you  are accountable to the organization to ensure that all employee  terminations are initiated and completed while maintaining strict  adherence to current employment laws and EEOC guidelines.
