/in /by

At the beginning of this course, you developed a graphic representation of the strategic-planning process. How has your understanding of this process grown? For this Application Assignment, you will integrate ideas and perspectives presented throughout this course as you expand upon your initial graphic. Prepare for this Application Assignment as follows: What insights have you gained about the strategic planning process throughout this course? Consider the following questions: What new insights about the internal and external factors that influence strategic planning have you gained? What are the key elements of strategy formulation? How do organizations translate their strategic objectives into operational realities? What factors contribute to successful implementation or create barriers that need to be addressed? Why it is important for marketing to be aligned with strategic planning? Why is it important to have the monitoring and evaluation criteria in mind throughout the strategic planning process? How has your awareness of the relationships and connections among various aspects of strategic planning grown? What insights gained throughout this Master of Healthcare Administration program do you think should be incorporated? Revisit the graphic representation of the strategic-planning process you created for the Week 1 Application. How would you revise your assessment of the strategic-planning cycle in light of what you have learned throughout this course? What recommendations do you now have for creating a strategic-planning process that is flexible yet sets the long-term direction for an organization? Then write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following: Create a graphic representation of the strategic-planning process in a health care organization. (This may be a revised version of your Week 1 Application Assignment.) Describe in writing any elements of the strategic-planning process that you are not able to capture in your graphic representation. Describe how your view of the strategic-planning process has grown, including one or more key insights that will guide your future work in health care organizations.

Product Strategy, Pricing, and Distribution

Marketing information is critical throughout the product life cycle. The marketing function also plays an essential role in determining pricing and distribution for products or services.

Prepare for this Application Assignment as follows:

This week’s media segment, “ Strategic Planning in Action: Good Samaritan Hospital of Maryland” presents some information on the marketing decisions made for the JointExperience and The Spine Center at that hospital. Consider how the information presented in this media segment relates to the concepts and ideas presented in the course text, as well as last week’s media segment.

With this in mind, select a specific health care product or service of interest to you. For instance, you may choose an over the counter medication, medical device, or specialty care within a health care organization. If you would like, you may use the same product or service you selected for the Discussion.

Research the product or service you have selected using the Internet and the Walden Library. Analyze your selected example in terms of concepts related to:

Product strategy, including the product life cycle and branding (Chapter 8 of Essentials of Health Care Marketing)

Price (Chapter 9 of Essentials of Health Care Marketing)

Distribution (Chapter 10 of Essentials of Health Care Marketing)

Also analyze the connection between these aspects of marketing and strategic planning. Why is it important for these elements of marketing efforts to be tied to a strategic plan?

As you formulate your analysis, be sure to include insights from this week’s Discussion, various Learning Resources, and your own research. You should identify at least two journal or news articles that further your understanding of these concepts and how they apply to the product/service you have selected.

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

Analyze your selected example of a health care product or service in terms of product strategy (including product life cycle and branding), price, and distribution. Include references to two or more outside resources that further your understanding of these concepts and their application for this product/service. Make note of any information that would be helpful for your analysis but is not available.
