Doctors have doctor conventions, pediatrician conventions, and surgeon conventions every year. Well known and successful doctors in those field stand up and give speeches detailing any experiments or trials and research successes they had that year. They have years of experience and notebook full of their research results and medical trials to site so being a new doctor and ordinary bystander you instinctively believe them because they are credible. They have evidence and months, sometimes years, of research and statistics backing them up. If a 1st year doctor got up and started talking about what he had going on you’d be less likely to listen and think of him as credible. He hasn’t got much experience and he probably doesn’t have much research to back him up being he’s just starting out. He doesn’t seem as credible as say a 10 year doctor with years of experience and surgeries under his belt. I think personal experiences make a speaker more credible. You can search a topic all day long on the internet but that doesn’t make you an expert. Someone can youtube and google how to change a tire and think they know everything there is to know, but when it comes down to actually changing the tire they could have some difficulty. I don’t think online research always constitutes credibility but i think it also depends on the situation of the speech

When hearing a presentation on evidence-based practice, such as new guidelines to be adopted by a hospital to reduce the infection rates of central lines in patients, the most compelling presentation would be one that is well supported with research and statistics backing these new safety measures.  Terri Russ (2017) discusses that an element of critical thinking is to not just jump to conclusions but instead that the critical thinker is inquisitive, that they “question everything that confronts us” (p.2). In other words, what would impress me most by this specific speaking situation would be the clear presentation of the facts, and what quality peer-reviewed sources have to say on the topic.

Does the statistical analysis in the research studies cited, for example, show statistically significant  improvement after adopting a particular safety measure that was implemented to reduce the incidence of central line infections? Also, it may seem obvious but credibility of the speaker is also a key factor in determining the legitimacy of the message delivered.  Watt (2017) says this in a great way, in the context of reviewing source credibility, “One of the most important elements of credibility is qualification” (p.10).  Is the presenter someone who is well educated or whose background is specific to infections? Do they possess the title of epidemiologist, or someone who specializes in emergency preparedness and environmental safety? Do they have a doctorate in their respective field? Russ (2017) also elaborates that critical thinkers evaluate the evidence that is presented to them. In the context of central line infections, my thoughts would be what kind of research was cited? Are they from qualitative or quantitative studies? I would ask this question as the answer impacts the strength of the overall evidence provided. Were they randomized controlled studies and then also, what was the sample size in the study? The purpose of these questions is to scrutinize whether a study is valid, how much we can generalized the findings to the population at large, and whether the quality of information matches the seriousness in addressing patient safety issues.

During a recent training, a co-worker opposing remote work arrangements made an impromptu speech. Her complaints were COVID isn’t serious, and we are wasting money and productivity working from home.

COVID is not as severe as the seasonal flu. She quoted her favorite news host. His information was reliable because the host was a friend of the President. This is an example of the fallacy, appealing to authority. Other than the word of the talk show host, she offered no supporting details. When presented with contradictory evidence from the WHO, she exercised genetic fallacy by saying the WHO is fake news and our co-worker a politically biased.

She next argued working remote would cost millions of dollars because everyone would need printers and scanners. She failed to understand that digitalizing the department eliminated the need for printing and scanning, and if required, we would still have access to our offices.

In her final argument, she used the false analogy, not having scanners and printers cause a lack of productivity because we can’t print documents for our bosses. Being remote, we can’t give documents to them. Therefore, remote work is unproductive.

Chapter 6 (Russ, 2017) reminds us “critical thinking requires we consciously listen to messages.” She already decided working remotely is unproductive. She lacked open-mindedness and did not offer evidence. Chapter 7 (Watt, 2017) concludes that to appear credible you must offer support for each of your ideas. Samuel Warren Carey once said, “If 50 million believe in a fallacy, it is still a fallacy.” We must always use logic and critical thinking to analyze information and come to logical conclusions.

As a speaker, it is vital to give to good reasons os to why someone, or the audience should believe what you say. Personally, I am a person that identifies with feelings more than logic and what is true. I tend to make decisions too quickly based on my emotions and what I am feeling rather than stepping back, and truly evaluate what I am thinking or a situation. My emotions somewhat drive what I say in a speech. The trick, i guess you can say, for me, is figuring how to use logic and fact, and my emotions. I am a very emotional speaker, which is a good trait. If I only use emotion and what I feel, that can leave me unvalidated. But if I can use logic and fact first, and then drive home those points personally and use my emotions, that can make for a very powerful speech. Emotions and how we feel should evident and in a speech, but they most coincide with logic and facts. That what makes someone’s speech believable and powerful, you must have both. What makes something very compelling and believable is facts and personal experience. Everyone loves identifying with someone, knowing we all go through the same things as humans. So, personal experience can be very powerful, the speaker relating and becoming vulnerable with the audience.

Traveling is becoming an increasing hobby for people in the United States. Also, the pet parenting phenomenon is also growing rapidly. One of the issues, however, is the dilemma of traveling with a pet. There have been many reports of airlines that have lost a pet or the pet did not survive the trip.

Recently, there was a couple who were both professional pilots and also pet owners. Upon retirement, they decided to start an airline that catered specifically to pets. They identified the key routes that commercial airlines fly that also have a smaller airport in the community. For a fee, the traveler can fly his or her pet to the destination city. The pet owner is responsible for dropping off and picking up the pet from the smaller airport. The animals are transported in plush cages in a pressurized cabin. They are provided, for a fee, snacks during their travel.

Reflecting on the above from a Marketing Strategy Perspective, address the following issues: a.) Develop a target market for this project. Make sure to address at least three market segmentation variables that would be important to consider and how you arrived at the target market you are suggesting for this project. b.) Develop a customer retention program for this business. Discuss the concept of customer orientation and the importance of a customer retention program and what factors should be considered for this business. Identify the type of information the company needs to design this program and from where the company will obtain this information.c.) Marketing strategy focuses on solving problems. Many of the problems originate from specific needs. Identifying the appropriate needs assists in the product differentiation process, as well. Identify the Primary Needs and Secondary Needs this product will satisfy. How will this be used in the product differentiation, positioning of the product, and the impact within the consumer buying process?

What resources may be a concern in the country you selected?    How will this impact the decision to move to the country that you selected?

Mike, one of the marketing strategists on your team, stops at your office door wanting to talk. “We use fabrics that are made domestically; however, there are issues with using these same fabrics globally. There are laws and regulations that prevent us from shipping these fabrics to other countries. This is a huge concern. One of our primary selling points is the consistency of quality of our product.”

You confirm Mike’s concern, “That’s an excellent point,” you say. “Now you’ve just given yourself and our team more work for the presentation. I’m sure that will come up. One of the board members used to run a textile plant in China.”

Mike nods his head in agreement. “I imagine textiles will not be the only resource concern,” he says.

Consider the following in your response:

  • Why should resources be a concern in a global strategy?
  • What resources may be a concern in the country you selected?
  • How will this impact the decision to move to the country that you selected?
  • How will this impact your competitive strategy in your global market?
