    **Weekly Application Posts**
    To help you integrate your learning, demonstrate your subject matter expertise, and build your professional brand, you will complete a weekly post that focuses on one or more of the topics covered that week.  Each of the 8 weekly posts must be a minimum of 100 words in length (including the original post title) with no maximum limitation.  Posts should be tailored to fit the personal/professional brand and/or expertise that you’re trying to develop.  After you have built your MSM WordPress website (will start this in your MAR 6336), you will upload your posts for each course to that site.  (Thus, by the end of Term 5, you will have at least 50+ uploaded posts on your website).
    Your weekly application posts should go beyond merely reiterating what was covered in the course materials.  They should show your target audience(s) how to apply marketing concepts, techniques, or technologies to real-world problems or opportunities in which they have an interest.  The topic of your post must be one of the main topics covered in each week's lesson and the post must do more than merely mention a term from the week, it must demonstrate knowledge of the topic.  Although the tone, style, voice, and mood of your writing is up to you, be sure to consider what would work best for your target audiences.
    To build and maintain your professional expertise and to avoid appearing as “only a student,” it is imperative that you do not use words like “professor,” “class,” “course,” or other words (e.g., “this week we learned about…”) that infer your role in these posts is one of being a student.
    Also, make sure to submit your post PRIOR to posting it on your website in order to ensure the plagiarism check works properly.  Students showing a high score on the Turnitin results will receive a grade of zero.
    _**Grading:**_
    – _**Posts that infer student status will receive grades of zero.**_
    – Posts that meet or somewhat exceed the minimum criteria will be awarded 3 points.
    – Posts that reasonably exceed the minimum criteria may be awarded up to 4 points.
    – Posts that go far beyond the minimum criteria (in quality and not just quantity) may be awarded up to 5 points.
    – Ensure your target audience is clearly identified, and establish who you are addressing within the opening sentences of your post.
    – Approach this post with creativity and structure. Enrich it with compelling visuals, engaging headers, and concise bullet points to captivate your audience. Imagine you are crafting content for a platform like Forbes or Harvard Business Review—focus on delivering value and sophistication in every detail.
    Topics Recommended* but can choose from any of Week 1’s content in the modules or chapter readings:
    – Dynamics between sales and marketing teams
    – Customer Insights for 2022
    – Integrated Communications
    – Contribution Margin and Breakeven
    – Marketing Mix
    – Components of a Marketing Plan
    *Please note that the topics listed above are merely suggestions. If there is another subject covered in the module or readings that you'd like to explore but isn't mentioned here, you are welcome to do so. Additionally, some weeks may not include suggested topics.

    Sights on Cloud Security

    –Venture capitalists are funding startups that can remove one of cloud computing's few remaining obstacles: data
    security.
    –Companies are worried about the security of data in the cloud
    –And many face government and industry regulations about how data can be stored in the cloud

    By Scott Denne

    As cloud computing continues to take a larger share of computing budgets, venture capitalists have been getting
    behind startups that can remove one of the movements few remaining obstacles: data security.
    Now one of Silicon Valley's most influential venture firms, Andreessen Horowitz, has followed up with more funding
    for one of its early seed investments in the space by leading a new $30 million round for CipherCloud Inc., a company
    that encrypts data in order to keep it secure. Other existing investors Index Ventures and T-Venture, the venture
    capital unit of Deutsche Telekom AG, also participated.
    "One of the problems I noticed in 2010 was all these enterprises wanted to adopt cloud applications," said Pravin
    Kothari, the company's chief executive and founder. "But the big problem they had was that they had no control over
    their data."
    John Jack, a board partner at Andreessen Horowitz, contemplated entering this market when he was CEO of Fortify
    Software Inc., a maker of application security testing software, but decided that it wasn't closely related to the core
    business and "we couldn't quite figure out in our minds how to solve the problem," he said.
    That hasn't stopped other startups from getting into the cloud encryption market. In February, Valutive Inc. raised $10
    million in Series A funding for a similar service that's focused on cloud-based Microsoft applications, and Porticor Ltd.,
    which makes an encryption service centered around Amazon.com Inc .'s cloud services, launched that same month
    with an undisclosed amount of funding.
    Last year PerspecSys Inc. raised an $8 million Series A from Intel Capital and others, and Salesforce.com Inc. acquired
    cloud encryption company Navajo Systems shortly after it raised seed funding from Jerusalem Venture Partners.
    Companies are not only worried about the security of critical data, like customer information, but many also face
    government and industry regulations about how the data can be stored when they're considering implementing
    cloud applications.
    CipherCloud 's service solves that problem by encrypting data before sending it out to a cloud application.
    CipherCloud provides encryption tools built around several specific applications, including Salesforce.com and
    Gmail, or a template for encrypting data for other applications and cloud services.
    Providing such a service may be a simple idea, but it's difficult to execute. The gateway that encrypts the data has to
    be extremely secure and support high levels of traffic for applications that are a crucial part of a business, Mr. Kothari

    said.
    Though CipherCloud 's latest round is technically its Series A round, the two-year-old company is well past that stage
    of development, Mr. Kothari said. It already has over 40 enterprise customers, 1.2 million people using the service and
    a revenue run-rate that's over $10 million, he said.
    As the market for cloud computing continues to grow, CipherCloud will grow with it, said Mr. Kothari, who previously
    founded ArcSight Inc . Research firm Gartner predicts that a quarter of enterprises will use cloud security applications
    by 2016. The same firm predicts the market for cloud computing to grow 20% this year to $109 billion.
    Prior to this round, CipherCloud raised $1.4 million in seed funding. Mr. Kothari declined to disclose the valuation on
    the round.

    be extremely secure and support high levels of traffic for applications that are a crucial part of a business, Mr. Kothari

    said.
    Though CipherCloud 's latest round is technically its Series A round, the two-year-old company is well past that stage
    of development, Mr. Kothari said. It already has over 40 enterprise customers, 1.2 million people using the service and
    a revenue run-rate that's over $10 million, he said.
    As the market for cloud computing continues to grow, CipherCloud will grow with it, said Mr. Kothari, who previously
    founded ArcSight Inc . Research firm Gartner predicts that a quarter of enterprises will use cloud security applications
    by 2016. The same firm predicts the market for cloud computing to grow 20% this year to $109 billion.
    Prior to this round, CipherCloud raised $1.4 million in seed funding. Mr. Kothari declined to disclose the valuation on
    the round.

    Tesla’s plan to upgrade its information management systems is a smart move for both security and better decision making. With the right approach, the internet, intranet, and extranet can each play a specific role in making the upgrade more effective.

    The internet can be used to strengthen Tesla’s public facing presence by sharing product updates, sustainability initiatives, and investor information. It is also a valuable tool for gathering industry trends and competitor data, which can feed into strategic planning. The intranet should be the central hub for internal communication and collaboration. Housing company policies, training materials, and project updates in one secure place ensures employees have quick access to the information they need without relying on external sources. The extranet can serve as a secure bridge to connect Tesla with suppliers, partners, and key stakeholders, making it easier to coordinate production timelines, share design files, and track supply chain performance.

    Business intelligence systems can make these tools even more powerful by turning collected data into actionable insights. By tracking key performance indicators such as production efficiency, supply chain lead times, customer satisfaction scores, and energy consumption, Tesla can quickly identify where improvements are needed. Dashboards and real time reporting can help leadership monitor performance across departments, spot trends, and respond before small issues become major problems.

    With this upgrade, Tesla can combine stronger security, better collaboration, and more precise analytics to make faster data driven decisions that keep the company competitive and innovative.

    Upgrading XYZ Company’s information management systems provides a strong opportunity to align technology with strategic goals. The internet, intranet, and extranet each serve unique functions that can enhance communication, collaboration, and data-driven decision making. The internet allows the company to maintain its external presence through websites, e-commerce platforms, and customer portals. The intranet offers a secure internal environment for employees to access policies, training modules, and organizational announcements. The extranet creates a controlled network where partners, suppliers, and select clients can share data, strengthening supply chain efficiency and customer relationships (Turban et al., 2018).

    Business intelligence systems will be especially valuable in improving decision making by transforming raw data into actionable insights. For example, real-time dashboards can track sales performance, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency, allowing managers to quickly identify trends and respond proactively (Laudon & Laudon, 2022). Monitoring key performance indicators such as employee productivity, cost per unit, and customer retention will help leadership align performance with corporate strategy. By integrating ethical considerations into system design, the organization can also protect sensitive information and ensure responsible data use. Overall, these upgrades position XYZ to become more competitive and resilient in a global business environment.

    Topic: Tourism Industry
    To help integrate what you are learning, as well as to help you communicate your growing subject matter expertise, you'll complete a series of blog-style posts that focus in some way on one or more of the topics covered that week. Each post must be a minimum of 100 words in length (including the post title) with no maximum (unless otherwise stated). They should be tailored to fit the personal/professional brand or expertise that you’re trying to develop. Note that later this academic term (and beyond), you'll begin to upload all of your posts (for this course and all other courses) to the website that you will be developing in this course.
    Your application posts should go beyond merely reiterating what was covered in the course materials. They should teach your target audiences how to apply marketing concepts, techniques, and/or technologies to real-world problems or opportunities for which they have an interest. Your posts can be serious, light-hearted, tell stories or experiences, give advice, offer critiques of marketing practices you encounter, make comparisons across companies or techniques, describe innovative marketing practices, predict the future of marketing, etc. The key is that they must (1) be useful to your target audiences, (2) use one of the provided topics, and (3) be in your own words from your own perspective. Do NOT write “academic-style” posts with multiple references! People normally don't want to read those. (Use hyperlinks to reference any sources that are used, but you should NOT be using many other sources.) Remember that the tone, style, voice, and mood of your writing is up to you, but you should always consider what works best for your target audiences. You may even decide to have a general theme to your posts, perhaps staying focused on a particular industry or area of marketing or marketspace.
    Posts must include an original title (do NOT use my topic statement as your title) and have proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Also, they should NOT indicate your student status (see the syllabus).
    Please review the Module discussing this particular assignment series: **Important Info re: Website Application Posts**
    **Ideas for this week's Website Application Post**
    To earn credit for the post, you must write about one of the topics listed below. In the submission comments, copy and paste the instruction topic you used so it's clear which one you wrote about. (Not listing your instruction topic will reduce your score by 1 point.)
    – How the buying decision process (as described in this week's materials) works for your particular industry.
    – An innovative way you have seen a company or organization use communications to inform, remind, persuade, connect, or motivate.
    – How understanding the communication/marketing/sales funnel can improve efficiencies.
    – How to eliminate noise issues you have experienced in a particular communication channel (perhaps for your industry).
    – Why changing customer attitude is important for changing customer behavior for your particular industry.
    – Why it's critical for business people to understand funnel conversion rates for your particular industry.
    – What's truly being exchanged when people buy from a particular retailer (e.g., Starbucks or Apple, but don't use these as examples)?
    – How communication is enhanced (or hurt) by emojis and what marketers should do about it.
    – Where and when strong branding helps conversion rates in communication/marketing/sales funnels.
    – Why all levels of marketers (from the CMO to the marketing coordinator to the customer service representative) need to understand the communication/sales funnel.
    – Applying one of the topics from Berinato's _Good Charts_ Introduction or Chapter 1 to your industry (be sure to reference the book).
    **Important Notes**
    – If you discuss a model or process from one of the readings or videos (or directly from your professor), be sure to reference the author and source (if public) in some manner. This can be done casually by simply stating the name without the need for academic-looking citations. For example, _“According to SEO expert Neil Patel, the best way to optimize your website is to…”_ Not providing attribution is considered plagiarism and is against the FIU student conduct code.
    – Posts missing an original title will receive a 1-point deduction after grading. (Using the instruction prompt is not an original title.)
    – If you use ChatGPT or some other generative A.I. system, please mention HOW it was used. You should only use these systems to enhance your work and not to create your work. For example, you might use A.I. to proofread, check for spelling/grammar/usage, assist in creating a title or headings, generate ideas, and/or make your writing more concise. Please do NOT use A.I. to generate your article as a whole or to increase the quantity of words. The former is not a representation of your work and the latter typically results in verbose posts.
    **Word Limit for Application Post #1:** Please do NOT exceed 250 words (including the title).

    ## **Introduction**
    **Note**: The assessments in this course build upon each other, so you are required to complete them in sequence.
    Healthcare leaders function within a complex, high-risk environment where errors can lead to injury and death. The goal of any healthcare leader is to assess and manage risk, while concurrently promoting a culture of patient safety.
    Patient safety is the cornerstone of high-quality care.
    Youngberg (2011) addresses the need for leaders to create a systemic mindfulness of patient safety within the high-risk healthcare delivery environment. Further, the author discusses high-reliability organizations, which attain next to zero error rates, despite a great propensity for error or catastrophic events.
    Read further in the [Assessment 5 Context [PDF]](https://courseroom.capella.edu/courses/46736/files/8761627?wrap=1) [Download Assessment 5 Context [PDF]](https://courseroom.capella.edu/courses/46736/files/8761627/download?download_frd=1) document, which contains important information on the following topics related to change leadership, risk management, and patient safety:
    – Themes for Success in Leadership.
    – The National Patient Safety Goals and Strategic Direction.
    – Personal Reflection.
    – Ethical Leadership.
    – Professional Communication.
    As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as a part of your assessment.
    – How does a healthcare leader establish a culture of patient safety?
    – How are risks to patient safety assessed and managed in your current or future work setting?
    – What are the other types of risks that are assessed and managed?
    – What are the important factors that need to be monitored in your selected work setting?
    – How can you contribute to risk management and patient safety within your job?
    Imagine that you are the new CEO of your organization, and are charged with transforming the previous status quo to an efficient, high-performing accountable care organization.
    – Which tools would you put to work in your new position?
    – What types of individuals would be needed for your executive leadership team?
    – What competencies might be important to the team members?
    – What processes, structural models, or frameworks from this course might help you as a transformational leader?

    – Read Chapters 1, 2, and 3 from the course textbook, _Essentials of Health Care Finance_.
    As Cleverley and Cleverley (2018) suggest,
    Until the early 1980s, cost reimbursement by Medicare was the predominant form of payment for most hospitals and other institutional providers. In addition to Medicare, most state Medicaid plans and a large number of Blue Cross plans paid hospitals on the basis of “reasonable” historical cost. Today, the major payers have abandoned historical cost reimbursement and substituted other payment systems. (p.36)
    A healthcare organization’s revenue cycle depends on its ability to provide services to patients. Along with this, it is equally important that healthcare providers accurately charge for services rendered.
    In other words, capturing what, when, where, how, why, and who received the service produces the revenue. In your initial post,
    – Define the two key elements in historical cost reimbursement (reasonable cost and apportionment); additionally, provide two applicable examples.
    – Discuss the relationship between charge capture, charge entry, and charge master.
    – Compare and contrast the five major payment units (historical cost reimbursement, specific services, fee schedules, capitated rates, and bundled services).
    Guidelines:
    – Your initial post must be a minimum of 500 words.
    – Cite sources, if necessary, using APA style.
    – Refer to [_APA Style_Links to an external site.](https://writingcenter.uagc.edu/apa-style) for citing within your paper and formatting your references list.
    – Use your textbook or other sources as needed.

    This week we examined tips on becoming a successful evaluator and avoiding potential pitfalls of program evaluations.
    Engage in a conversation with your course community about **one** of the following:
    – Discuss what qualities you see as relevant for you and your future career goals.
    – Consider the potential pitfalls of outcome evaluations and discuss strategies on how you could avoid these potential pitfalls before they occur. How might you plan to use these if you were assessing your sample program from Week 1?
    As always, if you are relying on someone else's ideas when presenting yours, you should reference their paper, article, etc. This includes sharing references to your fellow students' ideas!
