services are uniquely different from products in a number of ways. Based on the unique characteristics/differences of services, discuss whether or not the traditional marketing mix (4Ps) is entirely applicable to the marketing of services. Explain the implications of the “people” aspects of the extended marketing mix for non-profit organisations, such as a local or regional charity or museum 600 words

n this unit, we explore the structured approach to modeling business processes. In this practical assignment, using the business process of a fictional package delivery service (a courier company) called On the Spot Courier Services, you will create data flow diagrams that demonstrate the business processes that would need to be supported by a new system.

Scenario:

When Bill got an order, at first, only on his phone, he recorded when he received the call and when the shipment would be ready for pickup. Sometimes, customers wanted immediate pickup; sometimes, they were calling to schedule a later time in the day for pickup.

Once he arrived at the pickup location, Bill collected the packages. It was not uncommon for the customer to have several packages for delivery. In addition to the name and address of the delivery location, he also recorded the time of pickup. He noted the desired delivery time, the location of the delivery, and the weight of the package to determine the courier cost. When he picked up the package, he printed out a label with his portable printer that he kept in the delivery van.

At first, Bill required customers to pay at the time of pickup, but he soon discovered that there were some regular customers who preferred to receive a monthly bill for all their shipments. He wanted to be able to accommodate those customers. Bills were due and payable upon receipt.

To help keep track of all the packages, Bill decided that he needed to scan each package as it was sorted in the warehouse. This would enable him to keep good control of his packages and avoid loss or delays.

The delivery of a package was fairly simple. Upon delivery, he would record information about when the delivery was made and who received it. Because some of the packages were valuable, it was necessary in those instances to have someone sign for the package.

On the Spot courier services grew and changed over the years. At first, Bill received requests for package pickups on his mobile phone, recorded that information in a log, and would then drive around to retrieve all the packages later in the day. However, he soon discovered that with another driver, it was difficult to coordinate pickups between the two of them from his van. It was not long before he reorganized his business and turned the warehouse employee into a driver. Then, he stayed in the warehouse himself, and his two employees made all the pickups and deliveries. This worked well because he could control and coordinate the pickups and deliveries better. It was also easier for him to receive pickup requests working at a desk rather than trying to do it while driving a delivery van.

As he thought about how his business was growing and the services he provided to his customers, Bill began to itemize the kinds of information he would need to maintain.

Of course, he needed to maintain information about his customers. Some of his customers were businesses; some were individuals. He needed to have basic address and contact information for every customer. Also, for his corporate customers, he needed to identify a primary contact person. It was mostly his corporate customers who wanted to receive monthly statements listing all their shipments during the month and the total cost. Bill needed to distinguish which customers paid cash and which wanted monthly statements. In fact, for those that paid monthly, he needed to keep a running account of such things as when they were last billed, when they paid, and any outstanding balances. Finally, when payments were received, either for individual shipments or from monthly invoices, he needed to record information about the payment: type of payment, date, and amount. Although this was not a sophisticated billing and payment system, Bill thought it would suffice for his needs.

Next, he started thinking about his packages and shipments. At the time that a request for a pickup came in, he needed to keep track of it as some type of delivery request or delivery order. At that point in time, Bill mostly needed to know who the customer was, where the pickup location was, and what date and time the package(s) would be ready for pickup. He also recorded the date and time that he received the order. A delivery order was considered “open” until the delivery van arrived at the pickup location and the packages were all retrieved. At that point, the delivery order was satisfied.

Once the packages were retrieved, each package needed to be uniquely identified. Bill needed to know when it was picked up and which delivery person picked it up. Other important information was the “deliver to” entity name and the address. He also needed to identify the type of delivery. Some packages were high priority, requiring same-day delivery. Others were overnight. Of course, the weight and cost were recorded so the customer could either pay or have it added to the monthly invoice.

In the courier and delivery business, one of the most important information requirements is the date and time stamp. For each package, it is important to know when it was picked up, when it arrived at the warehouse, when it went back out on the delivery run, and when it was delivered. When possible, it is also important to have names associated with each of these events.

First, start with a context level data flow diagram by brainstorming the sources/sinks (which are the people/systems that interact with this system). Next, you will list the tasks performed by these entities, and show them on the diagram.

Next, you will begin decomposing the system by showing its various processes (and labeling them x.x, ex: 1.0, 2.0, etc). Be sure to also include any datastores (any time data is stored/retrieved, a process must use a datastore). You should then be able to decompose these processes to an additional level, where each process will have a more granular identifier (ex: 1.1, then 1.1.1, etc). You should be able to develop a data flow diagram up to level 2, with no fewer than 6 data flow diagrams.

One path to understand the interplay between ingroup preference and status-based enculturation is to focus on the origins. How does their origins benefit us/others in today's society?

Natural gas for a typical residence has a monthly demand (in MMBtus) of D(P)=12-0.2P. The market price of natural gas is $4 per MMBtu, and natural gas has an external cost from CO2 emissions of $2.60 per MMBtu^3. Assume natural gas is competitively supplied.

1. Calculate the market equilibrium price and quantity of natural gas.

2. Calculate the social benefit of the market equilibrium (i.e. consumer surplus plus consumer surplus minus the external cost)

3. How much natural gas should be used? (i.e. calculate the socially efficient quantity of natural gas)

4. Calculate the deadweight loss of the market equilibrium. Illustrate on a graph.
