Compare and Contrast Various Selling Models

The purpose of this assignment is to compare and contrast two or more competing selling models. The basis for this paper will be The Challenger Sale (Dixon and Adamson) versus Strategic Selling (Miller & Heiman).

1. Provide an overview of both approaches. This overview should include the theoretical basis, practical application, and general steps or stages.
2. Take a position on which approach would be more effective for managing customer accounts that would be considered “Key Customers” or “Strategic Customers”. An example of a key or strategic account would be one where a the sale involves:
   1. A complex solution
   2. Multiple decision makers
   3. Significance in terms of revenue opportunity

Your arguments should provide rationale for your position and relate to specific outcomes (e.g., closing business, positioning as a business partner/consultant, long term relationship building, etc.)

3. Give a detailed example of how your approach would be applied to a sales opportunity (can be real or hypothetical) to achieve a very specific sales goal.

(a) all of them dislike their mother-in-law

The purpose of the task is for you to demonstrate high-level critical reflection and analytical reasoning skills in the context of the application of Australian taxation law and taxation law policy. You must undertake academic research which demonstrates the following:
1. An in-depth your understanding of how the specific tax law applies,
2. The policy context of the law and if relevant how other jurisdictions deal with similar issues,
3. Critical reflection as to whether the law achieves its stated purpose aligns with principles of good tax policy or could be improved/amended. These critical reflections should be supported by the research you have undertaken as well as your own independent thought.

International Tax Avoidance – The avoidance and/or minimization of tax by large multi-national corporations are of great concern to Governments and tax administrators. Identify and discuss at least one common method multi-national corporations might use to avoid tax in Australia. Then identify and critically evaluate at least one current strategy implemented by the Government and/or the ATO that is used to prevent this.

Substitutes for Leadership Leadership effectiveness is defined as the degree to which a leader's actions result in the achievement of goals, the continued commitment of employees, as well as the development of mutual trust, respect and obligation between leaders and members. In this exercise, please read the mini-case and answer the questions that follow. Agusto owns and manages Frappacup, a coffee shop on Main Street. Although his business is successful, Agusto has been questioning his own role. Frappacup is a popular hangout for university students, right across the street from the main campus. Agusto opened Frappacup three years ago, and the business has been successful. He employs primarily college students who enjoy their work and their ability to have flexible schedules on early mornings, evenings, or weekends, not to mention the free coffee given as a benefit of employment. Lately, however, Agusto has noticed his leadership is not as effective as it used to be. On the one hand, operations are running smoothly and profits are stable. On the other hand, Agusto noticed some changes, even some positive ones, were being made without his input. It was as if the shop was running on its own steam at times. For example, the night shift started holding poetry slams on Thursday evenings due to one of the night shift workers’ prior experience with this type of event. The events were drawing a new crowd and higher profits. The night shift manager, Alexa, has been at Frappacup for two years. She has forged bonds with the night employees, who hang out outside of work and have classes together on campus. No performance problems had ever been reported and profits are good. Other than feeling on the outside of the evening shift's successes, Agusto also was feeling less like the expert at the business. In the past, Agusto had trained all the new baristas because he was considered "the best." Ever since the day shift assistant manager, Christopher, made laminated cue cards for quick-look directions for making a variety of the shop's most popular drinks, employees hardly ask Agusto for advice. Of course, the drinks tasted the same, but he was starting to wonder if he still had value on the store floor and should take on a more administrative role in running the business.

A) Augusto is afraid that the laminated cue cards for making drinks lower his importance as a leader by using... (spatial distance, cohesion, formatilization, professionalism, or inflexibility).

B) One night shift worker's prior experiences with poetry slams bring what leadership substitute to Frappacup? (spatial distance, training and experience, cohesion, formalization, or task feedback)

C) The night staff's ability to work together effectively and maintain close bonds in getting along shows what leadership substitute? (training and experience, formalization, task feedback, cohesion, or spatial distance)

D) Because Agusto is not present for the night shift work, his leadership is neutralized due to... (spatial distance, training and experience, formalization, task feedback, or cohesion).

Water moves through a constricted pipe in steady, ideal flow. At the lower point shown in the figure below, the pressure is 1.80 ✕ 10⁵ Pa and the pipe radius is 2.90 cm. At the higher point located at

y = 2.50 m,

the pressure is 1.30 ✕ 10⁵ Pa and the pipe radius is 1.60 cm.

1. find the speed flow for lower section

2. find the speed of flow in the upper section

3. find the volume flow rate through the pipe

Monopoly is the least competitive of the market structures. Patents are a major source contributing to the development of monopolies; explain why that might be a good thing. In general, what makes this market structure "bad" from a public policy perspective (the key is how price relates to marginal cost)? What does it mean to say that a monopolist is a "price maker" and explain the process a monopolist goes through to maximize profits.
