Discussion Board 2: Stranded!
There are 2 parts to this discussion. Details on what is expected in both parts is found below the prompt.

Prompt (Use your imagination!):
You are a space tourist traveling to a distant planet when a malfunction occurs on your spaceship. All will need to exit the ship within a day. You will take an emergency escape pod to one of the planets nearby.

Your friend bets you that they can accurately describe the integumentary system of the organisms on the planet you are going to stop at. Little does your friend know that you have been studying the integumentary system.

Based on your knowledge of the human integumentary system, what do you think the integumentary systems of the organisms on this planet would be like? What will you see?

Choose one planet below and using the features of the human integumentary system, consider how that system may be altered for survival in these conditions.

1. Planet Aridosol: Hot, dry, windy
Temperature range: 95-115 degrees Fahrenheit
Wind range: 50-65 mph daily
Sunlight range: 20-24 hours a day (in a 24hr day)
Precipitation range: 2 short rainy seasons 10 a year. One lake highly saline.

2. Planet Histosol: Tropical, heavy vegetation, heavy rainfall
Temperature range: 75-95 degrees Fahrenheit. High humidity
Wind: very little
Sunlight: 18 hours a day but little gets through the trees. A shady planet
Precipitation range: Heavy, 1-2 per day

3. Planet Gelisol: Cold, gusty, icy
Temperature range: -35-20 degrees Fahrenheit
Wind range: 30-45 mph, gusts up to 80mph
Sunlight range: 14 hours a day (in a 24hr day)
Precipitation range: mild, snow/ice 3-5 per month

There is no perfect answer, but here are a few things to consider:
-Layers of the skin
-Cellular activity within the layers
-Depth of certain structures
-How the integumentary system may affect other organ systems in the body
-You may want to look at the animal kingdom for some ideas

Through this 2 part discussion with your classmates, you will state your planet choice, explain how the integumentary system (the alteration you think you will see) would affect the survival of these organisms using appropriate and sufficient evidence, and then respond to your classmates posts to convince them your alterations will most likely be seen. In other words, you need to know why your description is the most advantageous. You want to win the bet! Use science to win!
Remember, no answer is one hundred percent correct so you are not saying that others are wrong, but instead why your description is more optimal based on evidence of how the integumentary system works.
Part 1: Initial Post (Worth up to 50 points)
Length: 250-500 words
State your planet choice and explain why you chose the integumentary alterations for survival there. When stating the evidence, consider the challenges that others may have to your evidence and how you could counter those respectful challenges.
You will need to use at least 3 reputable scientific references to support your post (not including your textbook). Reputable sources= peer reviewed scientific journal articles, accredited websites, or books. Google, Wikipedia, etc. are not acceptable sources.
Part 2: Responses (Worth up to 50 points)
Comment on at least 2 classmates discussion submissions.
Each comment must be 150-200 words!
o Evaluate their post
o You are either adding more evidence to a post that made the same choice as you or challenging another choice (respectfully) with evidence.
o Offer questions or substantive responses to what is said. Offer Research and share information that backs or refutes a point being made (Good Jobs, or I agree are NOT allowed as your response!!).
o You may also let your classmate know why they may have changed your mind about a part of the integumentary system.

See last page for charts to use to organize your thoughts. This is for you and not to be handed in.

How will I be graded?
The rubric to this assignment is located in the same spot on Blackboard where this guideline is located, as a separate document. Take a look prior to starting the assignment and let your instructor know if you have any questions regarding expectations.

What kind of sources should you use?
Your information must be credible, accurate, and well supported by evidence. The best sources of information are the research journals and the books as well as webpages maintained by professional societies and organizations.

You may have seen how financial news outlets provide real-time financial market reporting. They often produce stock-market news feeds for traders; these news feeds include a stock chart. The stock chart may include different filters that allow you to see how the stock is performing today or has performed over one or more years.

There are many factors that will influence pricing that cant be controlled or predicted accurately. The approaches used to value stocks (determine what the stock is truly worth) are usually theoretical. You should consider what drives stock prices and why.

For this discussion, first go to Mergent Online. Find the pricing chart under the Company Details tab, then click on Pricing Summary for your selected company. This is the company you have selected for your Project Two assignment. Filter the time period to one year.

#1. In their personal lives, people routinely purchase goods or services. At times, they “need” or “want” something new; or it is time to replace/replenish an existing product. Whether they need to purchase groceries, buy gas for the car, or stretch a bit to get that exciting new toy, their investment in “goods” is ongoing. Similarly, they utilize the services that companies provide to enrich, replenish, fulfill, maintain, or enhance their lives. Describe how a marketer could develop differing marketing strategies to target your personal use of goods or services. Provide a real-world example of a marketer who does this. Include links to relevant marketing pieces to illustrate your example. In replies to peers, discuss the effectiveness of marketers in targeting to personal use in the examples provided.

One of the marketers that seems to have a strong marketing influence on myself is Amazon. I don’t use them for groceries or everyday purchases but often for random purchases of excess things I want. Some essential goods are bought their but they really have a good way of suggesting items when you are in the app that line up with what you have already looked at or compliments well. I would say just seeing the Amazon vans driving around they look nice and Amazon through it’s commercials targets family and does a good job of giving a comforting feeling in their commercials and one of family as many people can relate to. Knowing they are striving to give jobs to many people while raising wages for employees along with their strive to be economic and environmentally concious is a draw for me. Also their platform allows many small businesses to increase their revenue and platform. Their website is easy to use and categorized well which is also helpful. How a marketer could specifically market toward myself would be commercials on tv. I personally like when I know a business is doing good for a community or trying to better how they do business so expressing what they are doing in that way would persuade me to go out of my way and maybe even purchase non necessities just to be a part of what they are doing.

A Marketer is in a meeting with the firm that hold the contract for said item once that Item is picked up the marketing team they then brainstorm, once they brain storm then they study, study the people that want and or need this product. (James, 2018) States that the marketer is looking into the person, and situational environment the customers are in. What is their social status,what is their phyci like. Once this process is done The head marketer will for a lack of better words fine tune his target.One of the keys I believe in marketing is to stay this same but with a breath of freshness to the product ever so often to keep the design of the container or packaging is fresh and with the times. There are some many different genres of marketing. Their job is to really connect to the customer at hand be fresh, new, upbeat describing what the product is as well as make it appealingly to the eye

One business that I think best describes this strategy is the Cruise Line Industry. The Cruise Liner Industry has developed multiple strategies to sell the same thing, sail on a ship to a specific destination. So how do they do it and why is it so successful? They (Cruise Ship Industry) use peoples emotions to sell their product. The kids want to go to Disney World in Florida, they have a cruise with Disney characters on the boat, the retired couple wants to get away, or the young college kids want to just party for 3 days (Gronks Booze Cruise) so there are specific cruises just for them. “Demand for cruises is driven by consumer disposable income and vacation preferences. Small operators have the competitive advantage of lower labor and equipment costs and more personalized service; large operators benefit from stronger bargaining power in vendor contracting, the ability to spread costs over a larger number of passengers, and greater financial resources for marketing, expansion, and investment”(Dun&Bradstreet). Now the marketing team has hit on several things when you are going to and after you have taken your trip. Did it “enrich” your life, probably in a very small way, you got to go on vacation and see some nice things. Did it “replenish and/or fulfill” anything, maybe it was a needed vacation from work that had you stressed out. After Covid the Cruise line industry sold out or was booked to capacity in just a short amount of time. People wanted the feeling of getting out and exploring. “But cruisers who have been stuck at home since March 2020 are apparently bullish on seeing as much of the world as possible in one fell swoopincluding such hard-to-reach destinations as Easter Island, Bora Bora, or the Seychelles”(Golden).

#2. Sometimes a new product or service endeavor fizzles in the marketplace. Looking back, it seemed like a “good idea” at the time; however, it is evident that the promising new product or service is now headed toward obsolescence. Assume the role of the lead marketer of a struggling (or failed) product. Provide a detailed analysis of the product or service failure; and present a step-by-step description of how these (and future) product failures could be avoided. Include links to relevant marketing materials to illustrate your ideas. In replies to peers, discuss whether you agree or disagree with the analysis provided by your peers and explain why.

Read the following and answer the questions.

Medford University is a research university with about 10,000 students. It has a good liberal arts undergraduate program, a top-rated medical school, and a fine law school. It employs about 12,000people. A majority of these employees work at the university hospital. Lately, the university has faced significant financial pressures. It is in intense competition for quality students with other colleges. Recent financial donations have been small. The hospital is under intense pressure to reduce costs because of changing health care regulations and insurance coverage. The university currently spends about $100 million annually on fringe benefits (health insurance, retirement plans, and so on). It also faces large future payments of promised medical benefits to current and future retirees. The president of the university, Hiromi Kobayashi, has appointed a task force to design a new fringe benefit package. The task force consists of faculty and staff from departments throughout the university. The task force has been asked to consider the universitys tenuous financial condition. President Kobayashi wants to reduce expenditures on fringe benefits (while maintaining the quality of the faculty and staff). The president has appointed the chief administrator of the hospital as the chair of the task force. The president also has appointed one of her key assistants, the vice provost, to serve as secretary of the task force (to take minutes and coordinate meeting schedules).

1. Why did President Kobayashi appoint a task force to consider the issue of fringe benefits? She could have asked the universitys human resources department to design a plan.
2. Should the president anticipate that all members of the task force will strive to cut university expenses? What actions can the president take to increase the likelihood that the task force members have this objective as a major priority?
3. Why did the president appoint the hospital administrator as the chair of the task force? The chair, in turn, has delegated much of the work to subcommittees (a health insurance committee, a retirement committee, and so on). What advice would you offer the chair in appointing subcommittee chairs? Explain.
4. Does the president want to commit to accepting the committee report, or does she want to reserve the right to make modifications? Explain.
5. Why did the president appoint a key assistant secretary of the task force?

Do you think that a leader can use the same style of leadership in every situation and for every employee they lead? Why or why not?

No one leadership style fits every situation. The best style will be the one you match with particular circumstances and employees. The most successful leaders seamlessly switch among different leadership styles.
