Explores current practices involving the use of data to make marketing decisions.

/in /by

• Choose a topic that is relatively narrow, but one for which you can find articles in trade publications read by practitioners and also in academic journals. For example, the topic:
o Explores current practices involving the use of data to make marketing decisions.
o Is narrow enough to allow you to dig deeply into the details (the paper should not simply skim the surface of a broader topic). For example, “The Use of Data for Loyalty Programs in the Pest Control Industry” would be acceptable, but “The Use of Data in Loyalty Programs” would be far too broad.
o Allows you to find trade press and academic journal articles you can use as reference material.
• Here are some specific examples:

o Use of sales data by  retailers to make marketing decisions (Choose a type of retail chain: grocery, drug store, general merchandise, traditional department store, electronics, clothing, etc.)
o Use of sales data from retailers by  manufacturers to make marketing decisions (Choose a manufacturing industry: grocery, personal care product, clothing, toys, electronics, lawn and garden product, etc.)
o Use of data to design and operate a loyalty program (Choose a retailer type, manufacturer, or service provider: grocery retail chain, general merchandise retail chain, traditional department store chain, product manufacturer, restaurant chain, fast food chain, coffee shop chain, hotel chain, car rental firm, airline, movie theatre chain, clothing manufacturer, video game producer, etc.)
o The use of data to optimize B2B lead generation for the  industry (Choose an industry: employment agency, insurance, janitorial supply, IT outsourcing, advertising agency, restaurant supply, uniform and linen, automotive fleet sales, truck fleet sales, aircraft sales, construction, contract food service, contract janitorial, etc.)
o The use of data to optimize B2C lead generation for the  industry (Choose an industry: insurance, brokerage and financial services, home repair, lawn service, dry cleaning, home remodeling, tour operator, tax preparation, etc.)
o The use of CRM data to strengthen customer relationships in the  industry
o The use of data from mobile apps to make marketing decisions in the industry
o A case study of how data use improved marketing at a firm or in an industry.
Important!
• A minimum of two trade publication articles and two academic journal articles should be used as references. These should be real, widely read (in their industry or area of study) publications, not random blogs or websites. Additional credible references (books, general interest business publications, local newspapers, web sites, blogs, etc.) are welcome.
• Sources for both major concepts and direct quotes used in your paper must be cited in the text of the paper, and the source must be in the reference list at the end of the paper. Use APA style for both citations and references.
• Format the paper using APA style for the title page, page layout (line spacing, page numbers, etc.), headings, citations, and references. There is no need to follow additional APA style requirements.

Weeks 3 and 4 Discussion Forum (100 Points)

Refer to the Guidelines for Discussion Boards in Course Documents.
For your main posting, choose one of the following topics to discuss.
• Distinguish between standards and protocols. What is a network standard? What is interoperability? What are the benefits of standards?

• Why do standards architectures have multiple layers? To what does a standards layer provide services? If you change a standard at one layer, do standards at other layers need to be changed also? Why may it be advantageous to change a standard if the standard at the layer below it is upgraded?

• What is encoding? At what layer is the encoding of application messages done?

• What are QoS metrics? Why are QoS metrics important?

• Distinguish between rated speed and throughput. Distinguish between individual and aggregate throughput.

• What is availability? When should you measure error rates? Why? What is latency? What is jitter? Why may adding applications that cannot tolerate latency and jitter be expensive?

• What is the difference between sourcing and outsourcing in the procurement process? Give an example of the procurement process in your organization (or an organization you are familiar with).

• What are service level agreements (SLAB)? Provide an example of a SLA used in your organization (or an organization you are familiar with).

What’s causing technology to be successful, and people are satisfied with it.

Why measuring end user’s satisfaction is important.

  • What’s causing technology to be successful, and people are satisfied with it.
  • How satisfaction discussed in the literature
  • For example, we can say; the issue of end-user satisfaction has attracted great attention across multiple disciplines.
  • For example, the marketing discipline, in particular, has discussed this from this context,
  • In the management discipline. They’ve discussed it from x context.
  • In an information system
  • Thus, there’s a multiplicity of issues that need to be considered t? One of these, for example, would be issues to do with the factors that influence it from technology adoption, which will be discussed in the next section.

Walmart’s IT Project Analysis and Proposal Report

  1.  Describe your idea for an IT investment project, referencing one of the strategic goals for your chosen company. The project must align with this strategic goal and include a software component or a SaaS solution.

The IT Investment Project

My IT investment idea for Walmart is incorporating IT software that improves analytics to ensure the company’s inventory matches with consumers’ demands. The current system is ineffective in which the company ends up stocking large unnecessary inventory that’s not predictive of consumer demands.

Therefore, as the chief information officer (CIO), I think having advanced operational software utilizing new technology, would be the best solution for the company. In my research, I think Solvoyo’s supply chain planning & analytics software would be most viable in solving Walmart’s mismatched inventory purchases. Solvoyo software utilizes Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to ensure that it benefits a business in several ways. First, it segments products and customers based on the most and the least profitable, order reliability, supply variability, and incremental profits (Sugun, 2019; TTO). A company can choose on the customer segments and the kind of product it should cease production or produce more to the market. Secondly, it ensures that it re-adjusts safety stocks across the supply chain based on forecast errors and supply variability. Additionally, the software maintains full visibility of a company’s inventory. It keeps track of all the inventories from the ones in transit and in-premise (excess and dead inventory). Lastly, the software provides analytics that helps in the decision making regarding the kind of inventory to purchase and when to purchase and not to purchase. The company utilizes descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive capabilities in all producing the expected outcomes. IT project investment seems viable with such expected outcomes.

 

  1.  Describe the current financial position of your chosen company. The description must align with the company’s 10-Q financial statements and include the following components, along with a justification for eachof the ratios used:
