a Conceptual Model of Service Quality and Its Implications for Future Research
Overview: You will summarize the research and present a series of recommendations based on the SWOT analysis findings.
Section I: Summary offers a restatement of your research. You will remind the audience of the thesis developed in Chapter 2 and discuss the idea based on the research findings. Recall that one of our example thesis statements was, “While the XYZ Company has enjoyed some internal progress, continued weaknesses in its strategic planning function will limit its ability to meet competitive threats and lead to a significant loss of profit.” Based on this thesis, a summary at this point might look something like this:
This paper researched the possibility that the XYZ Company was exhibiting a weakness in its strategic planning functions, making it vulnerable to threats in the industry’s competitive environment. This research has demonstrated that at least three competitors have entered the marketplace and are operating successfully in the environment while XYZ’s market share is falling. The research underscores the fact that XYZ Company lacks timely strategic planning, is failing to capture opportunities in the marketplace, and is ignoring threats in the competitive environment. Without a concerted effort to improve its strategic planning function to address these threats, the company will not achieve a competitive advantage in the future.
Section II: Recommendations, you will offer your recommendation to resolve the company’s problems. Format the recommendations as an action plan with appropriate time schedule for each suggestion you will implement. As the Hill & Jones text suggests, they should extend logically from your overall discussions and remain consistent with the SWOT analysis. Remember to:
• Recall any recommendations you began to uncover in earlier Chapters
• Refer again to the organization’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats and build upon the summary statement to offer alternatives to the predictions
• Specifically explore the company’s ability to address external threats without changes. If you decide it cannot, recommend how it should change business level strategies to succeed and achieve profitability goals.
• In addition, investigate the company’s ability to address internal weaknesses without changes. If you decide it cannot, recommend the changes necessary to succeed and achieve profitability.
As summarized in the Hill & Jones text, recommendations usually center on issues such as changing functional, business, or corporate strategies. They could also focus on changing organizational structure and control to improve performance. Other examples include recommendations that address questions such as:
• Should the company increase R & D spending? If so, how will your company derive the funding?
• Should the company divest business divisions?
• Should the company change from unrelated to related diversification?
• Should the company improve the integration between divisions?
• Should the company change the organizational structure to adopt a new business strategy? How soon?
In each of these considerations, be specific. For example, if you suggest that the company should change its business strategy, explain exactly which new strategy it should adopt, why it should adopt it, how it will help, and when the implementation occurs on the timeline.
At this point, make sure you discuss funding for any of these changes. Remember, you are presenting to a CEO or the board so you must offer a convincing, practical argument for the changes. Simply stating, “we must increase R&D spending to retain a competitive advantage” is an obvious conclusion that the CEO already understands and likely would have implemented had the funding been available. Try to offer an innovative solution that also addresses internal funding (efficiency improvement, force reduction, etc.). This will convince your CEO that you have identified a practical solution or recommendation exhibiting a measured—but acceptable—level of risk.
Section III: Conclusions in the last several paragraphs of the chapter. These final statements should briefly review the research methods, describe the results of the analysis, and offer a personal opinion regarding the company’s viability. In other words—based on your knowledge of the company’s leadership—do you believe the business is likely to adopt your recommendations for achieving future success? Support your claims and opinions here as well.
Comments from Support Team: Hi how are you this message is very important.

Your final project is a completed personal financial plan that integrates your previous financial plan submissions from Modules Three and Five, as well as retirement planning and funding of your needs through investments in mutual funds or equities. This last assignment requires you to once again revise your personal financial plan to reflect your cumulative learning in the course.
Now that you have expanded your knowledge regarding long-term, asset purchase planning and short-term planning, as well as retirement planning, do you have any concerns regarding health? How would these change your financial plan?
Retirement Planning: Complete the attached spreadsheet (s) (which accompany your textbook). The first entails planning for retirement. You will likely identify a gap between your personal financial goals for a home, vehicle, and retirement planning versus the availability of your present resources. The objective is to develop an investment strategy, as a suggestion, with stocks of your choosing and/or mutual funds that support your future financial needs.
Develop stock investment portfolio: Select five key stocks and determine their expected return from finance.yahoo.com. Presume you would invest 20% equally in these stocks and average the return. Calculate how much you would have to deposit each year until retirement to fund all of your initiatives assuming the rate of return on these equities is constant.
Review the amount you currently are able to set aside for this purpose. If you still identify a gap, identify how you will mitigate that risk of realizing the appropriate amount of wealth to support your personal initiatives and expectations. Propose a plan and describe your personal alternatives for bridging this gap.
Submit the completed spreadsheets to your instructor. In the Personal Financial Goals document, summarize and describe your intentions. Mention each spreadsheet, specifically, and indicate how the purchase of these new assets and investments will affect your prior plan submitted during Modules Three and Five. Describe your opportunities and challenges. Will you have to make changes? Indicate how you might revise your plans.
Note: If you do not wish to disclose personal financial information to your instructor, please note to change your information or provide an alternative name with the information realistically portrayed. In doing so, the experience of preparing a financial plan for another individual will prepare you to accurately complete your own plan when you are ready. Also, do not disclose the information of an individual other than yourself; remember to keep private information private.

Assignment – Part B
A case study analysis using Toulmin’s Model of Argument (~600 WORDS)
Use the following Table provided for your answers as instructed.
1. You must use the case study provided in the Assignment Details Document.
2. You must analyse every sentence individually in the case study to establish whether it is a Toulmin element and each identified sentence should be individually included in the table below.
3. Not all sentences in the case study will be used in the table below
4. Sentences must be copied from case study and pasted into the appropriate Toulmin element section. You cannot abbreviate or paraphrase the sentences. Abbreviated or paraphrased sentences will not be marked.
5. Sentences can only be used in one element section of the Toulmin table.
Part B of the assignment requires you to apply Toulmin’s Argument Model to analyse a case study to determine the validity or otherwise of the case study’s claim, again reference any additional information sources that you may use.
You MUST use these instructions to complete the ‘Your Opinion’ section of Part B:
Toapplythemodeltotestthevalidity/strengthofaCLAIMthereadermustexamineeach sentenceinthe article and categorise them as a Toulmin element or as an unnecessary extra
e.g.‘opinion’,‘hearsay’,‘definitions’etc.Onceallsentenceshavebeencategorisedthenthe elements should be examined in sequence.
1. What is the CLAIM?
2. Is there any EVIDENCE to support the CLAIM? If so how much and how does it affect the strength of the
CLAIM.
3. Is there a WARRANT (Explicit or Implicit)? Explicit WARRANTS are often stronger because the author can
direct the reader to accept the CLAIM. Implicit WARRANTS leave the reader’s opinion open to
interpretation and this may go against the author’s intended purpose.
4. Is there BACKING? If so how much? If so how much and how does it affect the strength of the CLAIM. 5. Is there a REBUTTAL? The quantity and scope of the REBUTTAL may reduce the strength of the CLAIM
and thus dissuade the reader’s acceptance of the CLAIM.
6. Is there a QUALIFIER? If so, to what extent does it reduce the scope of the CLAIM because this will
impact on the strength of the CLAIM?
7. Your Opinion – this is a personal perception based on your interpretation of the article. The presence,
quality and quantity of the different Toulmin elements must be applied to make this critical assessment. You must discuss whether you agree or disagree with the claim based on the stronger argument
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a collection of marine debris in the North Pacific Ocean. Marine debris is litter that ends up in oceans, seas, and other large bodies of water.
