Discussion Board

Overview

Many risks exist with work that is outsourced. In fact, the risks may be greater because you do not have control over the resources like you would for a project that you are managing internally. To help reduce these risks, you should establish monitoring and control processes and procedures. They should cover the work being delivered by the vendor per the contract and tracking of the progress against the overall schedule.

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 350–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Research at least 2 sources (which may include your textbook) to support your response.

  • Discuss contract negotiations, especially the terms and conditions including price, scope of work, and so on.
  • Explain how a preferred provider list would help or hinder contract negotiations for your project.
  • What tools and techniques will you use to manage your relationship with the seller or vendor?

Write 2 more paragraphs that are an introduction and conclusion to this topic. Be sure to include your references, which should follow APA format.

Choose one of the three Case Studies focusing on a family in crisis. Each member of the family has unique issues that you must address. You must also determine the primary problems (this may include diagnostic impressions but not formal diagnoses), intervention, prevention, and education required to assist the family. In your project, do the following:

  • Identify the client and the presenting problem or symptoms. Briefly explain if anyone else is involved and how they contribute to the problem. Explain if anyone other than the “identified client” also could be identified as a client. If so, describe who and why.
  • Briefly describe any underlying problems or potential mental health diagnoses contributing to the primary problem that should be noted as you proceed with the client.
  • Briefly describe the presenting problem from the family’s perspective and what theoretical perspective you will use to assess, analyze, and develop a treatment plan for this case.
  • Identify the unique needs of each individual in the family.
  • Briefly describe the culture of the family, societal expectations, gender roles, and cultural norms. Briefly explain how each of these might contribute to the problem.
  • Briefly explain the child and adolescent culture and at least one general contributing factor to the identified issue and explain how this may or may not impact the family dynamics.
  • Describe one intervention you might use for the identified client that would address the presenting problem and any related psychosocial factors.
  • Justify your intervention with evidence-based research to support the use of the interventions you have identified.
  • Briefly describe one preventative technique that you might use to reduce the likelihood of further crisis or the perpetuation of the current crisis.

Section Two:

Strategic Sales Management Discussion Paper

The activity below is similar to what you are asked to do in your final assessment for this module. By completing this exercise, you will be getting good practice ahead of that assessment. You will see some generic feedback posted by “LSBF Task Feedback” in the top response in the forum below. After you have posted your own response, read through this feedback and think about how it applies to your own work.

You have been asked to observe, advise, and act as a consultant to the sales director of a medium-sized company operating in the pharmaceutical sector of the UK economy. The company is about to launch a new product that it hopes will soon become a market leader in its particular niche.

As a consequence, the sales force (both management and field personnel) will face major challenges over the launch period and subsequent sell-in.

Write a business report (1000 words +/- 10%) where you will:

Explain and analyze the main environmental factors that might affect a new product launch and the role of the sales force in ensuring that the launch and its rollout programme is a success.

Explain how the sales team can benefit from a full review of training, both in sales technique and new product knowledge.
