You may work together with another student to create a presentation in which you analyze a great customer experience, and a bad one. 
Create and submit a presentation in which you analyze a great customer experience (CX) based on the CX learning from Chap. 4 of the text, as well as a poor CX brand experience. You may be assigned to deliver the presentation in the next class session.  Include the following:
What are the different aspects of the brand experience that work well to create a great CX, the multiple “touchpoints” and channels?  In the poor example, what aspects detract from a good CX and why?
What key data insights have informed this marketer’s strategy?
Identify key points in the customer brand experience and purchase journey, and what CX components are instrumental to these points.
We have learned that the CX is a multidimensional construct focusing on a combination of emotional, accessible and functional components (see figure 4.5 from Ch. 4 of your textbook). Discuss each of these components in your examples.

 In Discussion #1, we learned that capitalism encourages people to increse prod

 In Discussion #1, we learned that capitalism encourages people to increse productivity: more time + more work = more money.  In other words, “more is better”.  Why is more money better? People are driven to make more money because we think that money gives us more freedom and more freedom means the choices.  However, when we observe how people actually behave, there is a big difference when it comes to making choices.  What people say what they want versus how people act in real life appear to be two very different thing.  This is called the “Paradox of Choice”.  Please view the following videos, photos and reply to the questions.

1. Based on the research, what percent of people were initially attracted when they were given 24 choices of jelly? What percent actually bought it?
2. Based on the research, what percent of people were initially attracted when they were given  6 choices of jelly? What percent actually bought it?
3. Based on this research, why did the store with less choices get higher sales volume?

4. If you have been to each of these restaurants, do you find that one is much more popular than the other?
5. Do the photos of these restaurants support the idea theory of “Paradox of Choice”?  Why do you think that people believe they want more freedom and choice but they actually get less happy when there are more choices in life?

In week 4, we have learned that while capitalism promotes building wealth as

 
In week 4, we have learned that while capitalism promotes building wealth as the most important reason for human behavior, our psychology and behavior shows that we do not always think more is better.  This means that humans may recognize some things in life as more important than money (e.g., family, friends).  We believe that some things in life are priceless and that no amount of money can replace it. 
Assignment Question #1
Do you agree that some things in life are more important money?  Why is that the case? Are humans just flesh and blood or is there more to it than that (e.g., soul, spirit)? 
Assignment Question #2
Based on the story, why is the ship no longer the same ship?
Assignment Question #3
If human beings went through a similar type of change like this boat where you no longer have the same parts as ten years ago, are we still the same person?

Economic Debate- Progressive Income Tax
For this Economic Debate, we are going to discuss the tax system in the United States.  We currently operate under a progressive income tax.  I encourage you to look this up, but in essence, it means that the more money you earn (through income, we are not talking about investments and capital gains), the more, in taxes, you pay.
Advocates of the progressive tax argue that if you make so much more, you can afford a higher share of the government expense.  After all, if you’ve been blessed with so much wealth, you should pay a little extra so that others can benefit from government services!
Opponents to the progressive tax argue that more factors go into wealth than just luck.  If you work harder and put in more time, you deserve the extra earnings.  After all, if you work more hours, invest more in yourself, and sacrificed more in the short-term, you should reap the benefits and benefit from those good decisions you’ve made!
I’ve attached a few resources to give you deeper insight to the debate on the progressive income tax.  Some of the material is heavily in favor, some is heavily opposed, and some argue a slightly different approach. Also, you are not bound to the resource I have provided. If you do your own research, that is fine as long as you are using reputable sources. 
Using your understanding of economics, answer the question:
Do you think the Progressive Income Tax is overall good or bad for America?  Why or why not?
Remember, if we are thinking like economists, the word “greed” should not factor into our discussion.  “Self-Interest” exists, which means that we expect each person to make the most rational decision that will benefit them.  
So, given this discussion and the attached material, in 175 words or more, tell which approach you would implement if you were the sole decision maker.  Be sure to include the BEST arguments from both sides in your discussion, but ultimately, you should choose one side. (You may offer a third solution if interested, but it should be very clear where you stand on the issue). 
You will need to respond to TWO classmates for this post. (75+ words each) —try to find someone who disagrees with you and directly address their concerns.  (It is not a requirement to find someone who disagrees with you, but it makes for a more robust conversation if you do). Remember!! Be respectful in your responses. Any disrespect whatsoever will be an automatic 0 and will result in disciplinary actions.

Last week, we discovered that capitalism is based on the idea that different

 
Last week, we discovered that capitalism is based on the idea that different people can make different amounts of money based on what they can offer society (e.g., skills, knowledge, talent) and how hard they are willing to work (e.g., a person who works 10 hours a day versus 4 hours in the same job).  We also learned that to be wealthy, you have to have time on your hands (e.g., doubling a penny for a month).  There is a fundamental rule in economics: We work hard for our money, so money should work hard for us.  Here is another rule in economics: When we are younger, we use our health to build our wealth and when are a older, we use our wealth to hold onto our health.  Therefore, this week we will clarify some basic terms used in economics when talking about money.
Active versus Passive Income
Active Income -> The act of trading time for money.  For instance, a person goes to work and gets paid for being there for a certain amount of time (e.g., Bill works at a restaurant as a manager for $30 per hour so he makes $240 in 8 hours.  But if he works only 4 hours, he gets $120)
Passive Income -> The act of investing.  In passive income,  a person gives money to a company or government that will return money over time if that company or government  continues to grow (e.g., Bill invests $100 dollars in a burger restaurant.  It increased 10% in value.  Now, Bill earned 10 dollars) 
This week, we will dive into the world of “stocks” (e.g., how to invest in companies or governments to make passive income).  Remember that ERISA 1974 (Employee Retirement Income Securities Act) is a law that requires all employees to have retirement plans and retirement plans invest in stocks. 
Please follow the steps below to complete this discussion
Step 1
Look at the stock charts of all four companies in alphabetic order: Autozone, Bank of America, Dollar tree, Ford Motor Company 
AZO – Autozone (Stock Price -> $26 in year 2000,   $2823 in year 2024) 
BAC – Bank of America (Stock Price $26 in year 2000,   $40 in year 2024)
 
DLTR – Dollar Tree (Stock Price $9 in year 2000,   $106 in year 2024)
F – Ford (Stock Price $16 in year 2000,   $13 in year 2024)
 
Discussion Questions
1. Please pick a person to do a brief interview (Ideally somone over 25 because the stock charts go at least 24 years).  If you have know one to ask, you can ask this to yourself as well.  
2. List the companies in alphabetical order and ask the person which company would bring the highest profit if we started investing in the year 2000
3. Ask them if they were surprised? Why?
4. What does this little experiment say about out perception of a company and its size and image versus real profit that we can gain from?

Assume that as of today, the annualized interest rate on a three-year security is 8 percent, while the annualized interest rate on a two-year security is 6 percent. Use only this information to estimate the one-year forward rate two years from now.
You need to choose between investing in a one-year municipal bond with a 6 percent yield and a one-year corporate bond with a 9 percent yield. If your marginal federal income tax rate is 20 percent and no other differences exist between these two securities, which one would you invest in?
Assume that interest rates for one-year securities are expected to be 3 percent today, 6 percent one year from now, and 7 percent two years from now. Using only the pure expectations theory, what are the current interest rates on two-year and three-year securities?
Identify some factors that influence the shape of the yield curve. Describe how financial market participants use the yield curve to make decisions.
Assume there is a sudden expectation of increasing interest rates in the future. What would be the effect on the shape of the interest curve? Explain.
Identify the primary objectives of the Federal Open Market Committee and the means by which it attempts to achieve these objectives.
What is the Beige Book and why do market participants pay attention to it?
Is it the role of the Fed or Congress to determine the fate of large financial institutions that are near bankruptcy?
Does the Federal Reserve directly or indirectly influence equity security prices? Based on your response, do equity market participants focus on current Fed actions or the expected ones when it comes to pricing equity securities?
Visit the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s website. Identify one policy objective and its effects on consumers and businesses.
