Marketing will have the company get there name out to the public, and decision making will require the company to put their best foot forward. Each one of these factors can have a major impact on developing a new product line for your business.

Marketing will help you determine your prices, how to promote your new product and how to sell your product in the market (Sawyers, R., Jackson, S., & Jenkins, G. J, 2012). I, personally, think that marketing is the most important tool for any new product line. In order to get your product to sell, you have to market your product. Having good marking skills is very important. Marking brings exposure to your product, and without the proper exposure, your product will not sell. Lastly, there has to be good decision making. Poor decision making can cause your vision to fail. "Decision making is the process of identifying alternative courses of action and selecting an appropriate alternative in a given decision-making situation" (Sawyers, R., Jackson, S., & Jenkins, G. J, 2012, p. 9). It is very important to make the best decision that can have a positive monetary impact on your new

    As I move through this semester I am learning more and more that teamwork is needed in almost every area of the student affairs profession. If you would have asked me a year ago to draft a conference proposal I would have said it only took one or two people to complete the task needed to submit a good proposal. The last month has changed this previous mindset though, as I have found it takes many dedicated individuals to help draft a good proposal. I decided to work with Rachael Kowbel who is the Director of Admission for the College of Dentistry and we drafted a proposal discussing how closed-door student panels affect incoming students in both a positive and negative way. Below this paper will discuss how the team was formed, my individual role on the team and how all of the information came together during the process.…

    A basic business plan includes: a description of the business (purpose, goals, and mission statement), a description of how the business will be marketed (market research, target demographic, and consumers), financial data (loans, cash flow analysis, and income projections), and how the business will be managed (employment, sales, and sales strategy) (SBA, 2007). Many entrepreneurs put off writing a business plan because they argue that they do not have the time, or it will not be useful because the market changes too fast (SBA, 2007). However, this plan acts as a blueprint for the new business that is being built. Therefore, a business cannot be started without a business plan because it will help start, guide, and promote growth for the new business. Strategic planning involves fully understanding the new business, its strengths, weaknesses and assessing how well it will do in the business environment to develop clear goals, objectives, and a mission.…
