Strategy Memo In this simulation, you are assigned the role of Senior Vice President for Marketing at Enhanced Analytics, Inc., a provider of marketing and consulting services, with headquarters in Austin, Texas. In this role, you report directly to the CEO of the company and are responsible for decision-making and marketing strategy. You oversee a department with 25 employees at the company. The CEO of the company has informed you at the weekly executive meeting that Premier Drinks of Sofia, Bulgaria - a key client of Enhanced Analytics, Inc. - has reported a drop-in sales, despite an expensive and carefully managed marketing campaign produced by your department. The management of Premier Drinks reports increased competition in the soft drink market in Bulgaria. Two companies - one from Poland and one from Germany - have recently established operations in the country. You were already aware of the trends in the local competitive environment from the periodic reports received from your campaign manager in Bulgaria. You have also studied the marketing efforts of some of your client's competitors and continue to believe that your campaign, particularly the promotional and pricing strategy adopted, is superior. The managers of Premier Drinks suspect that their local competitors have made payments to some of the local officials in exchange for an opportunity to sell their products in local government buildings and at sporting events, many of which have been off-limits to Premier Drinks. This lack of access has put a dent in the sales figures of Premier Drinks, and the company is now seeking guidance from Enhanced Analytics as to how to proceed. The executive team of Enhanced Analytics, led by the CEO, will be meeting to review options, next week. In your own words, prepare a report for the company's executives, containing the following sections (do not worry about being right or wrong; simply offer your perspective on the company’s situation and your recommendation):

1. Situation analysis - an overview of the client's business and the competitive landscape in the soft drink industry in Bulgaria (if you are unable to locate country-specific data, you may research the Eastern European market or the European Union, as a whole)

2. Problem Identification - in one or two paragraphs, clearly identify the problem faced by your client

3. Decision Options - an outline of 4 specific courses of action / decisions that your client can make to solve the problem. The purpose of this section is to get a clear overview of the options available to management. Because the company has limited resources, management will have to pick the best option

4. Decision - a clear recommendation, outlining which one of the 4 options is the best

5. Justification - a clear, concise justification of your decision from #4 Include outside research to support your ideas and recommendation. There is no page limit to this assignment. The assignment will be considered well-done if it contains all the required sections, if it is clearly written and your thoughts and ideas are supported by specific data and research.

Specifications

• Create an abstract Employee class that provides private attributes for the first name, last name, email address, and social security number. This class should provide functions that set and return the employee’s first name, last name, email address, and social security number. This class has a function: get_net_income which returns 0.
• Create a Manager class that inherits the Employee class. This class should add private attributes for years of experience and the annual salary. This class should also provide necessary set and get functions. It should add a bonus ($1,000/year of experience) to the annual salary. The income tax rate should be 30%. This class should override the get_net_income function of the Employee class. Note that the gross income is calculated as follows:
  • bonus = years of experience * 1000
  • gross income = annual salary + bonus
  • tax rate = 30%
  • income tax = gross income * tax rate
  • net income = gross income - income tax
• Create a Representative class that inherits the Employee class. This class should add private attributes for the weekly hours of work and the pay rate. This class should also provide necessary set and get functions. The income tax rate should be 20%. This class should override the get_net_income function of the Employee class. Note that the gross income is calculated as follows:
  • gross income = weekly hours of work * 52 * pay rate
  • tax rate = 20%
  • income tax = gross income * tax rate
  • net income = gross income - income tax
• In the main function, the program should create Manager or Representative objects from the data entered by the user and save them in a list named employees. After the user has terminated data entries, your program should display the information of all employees on the output with this format: last name, first name, email, social security number, net income.

You are to determine the user requirements for a web phone-mail product. The primary purpose of this product is to give phone-mail users (e.g., faculty and staff) the ability to access the functionality of the phone-mail system from a web page. In general, the product should enable users of the phone-mail system to do their usual phone-mail activities via a web page.

1. Evaluate these requirements. Do your requirements satisfy the eight criteria: Understandable, Verifiable, Independent of implementation, Consistent, Complete, Unambiguous, Realistic, Necessary? Explain your answers. Weed out any requirements that you do not think are good user requirements.

2. Prioritize the requirements as to whether they are (1) absolutely necessary, (2) desirable, or (3) optional.

1. One of the biggest news stories of the past few months is the outbreak of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus), first in China and then throughout the world. Numerous pharmaceutical companies have begun to develop COVID-19 vaccines. If all goes well, it will be at least a year before a vaccine is developed, tested, and approved by the FDA. However, one company—Moderna Therapeutics—has beaten all of the other companies in the race so far and is the first to advance to Phase 1 clinical trials.

Suppose that Moderna is the first company to gain approval for a COVID-19 vaccine in the United States. The monthly demand for COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. is Q = 16 – (P/6) where Q is measured in millions of vials and P is measured in dollars. Moderna’s total cost of producing Q vials of vaccine is 2Q² and Moderna’s marginal cost is 4Q.

1.A As the only company allowed to sell COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S., what price would Moderna charge for its vaccine to maximize profit? How many vials of vaccine would Moderna sell each month? What are Moderna’s monthly profits from the sale of COVID-19 vaccine?

1.B How many vials of vaccine would be produced and what price per vial would be charged if this were a perfectly competitive market?

1.C (Vaccines, like the COVID-19 vaccine being developed by Moderna, provide benefits beyond the benefits received by those vaccinated. For instance, as more people are vaccinated, the odds of disease transmission to vulnerable groups who cannot be vaccinated (e.g., infants) are reduced. Suppose the marginal social benefit of the COVID-19 vaccine is 110 – 6Q, which is greater than the marginal private benefit. Given this, what role do you think the federal government should play in vaccine development, if any, beyond the determination of safety and effectiveness associated with vaccine approval?
