“The future of the global city has already been determined. This ‘already present future’ was brought into being over the past three decades by rapidly emerging and unprecedented connections between security, biopolitics and ubiquitous computation. Accelerating technological innovations continuously drive the production of this new urban/planetary landscape. The shrinking cost and greater efficiency of computation create opportunities for the merging of economic, political, media, and biopolitical landscapes which until now been historically separate. Massively open datascapes, techniques of encryption, of datamining, of disinformation; all are transforming the nature of the citizen/agent, rendering us ever more as ‘bare life’ in the global theatre, but also facilitating a new global collectivity. Design of the city now has to ask how we can harness networked systems of capital, transnational entities, and technologically enabled relationships to devise sustainable, innovative forms of spatial and political organization.” Ed Keller, Carla Leitao

ALL WORK MUST BE ORIGINAL AND NO PLAGIARISM

The Customer as the Principal Driver of Value

The objective of value chain management is to convert customer needs into customer value. Unit 1 begins with the concept of customer delight as an indicator of earning customer value. By researching the Kaplan library and reading articles related to customer delight, you will gain an understanding of one of the ultimate goals of value chain management. This Discussion describes some of the process inherent when customer delight is present.

Directions

  1. Search the Kaplan Library for articles explaining customer delight and customer service excellence. You will include at least one quote from the Kaplan Library article(s) within your response, using APA in-text citations and listing the applied reference(s) at the end of the response. There should be no more than one application of referenced information per paragraph. You may include one referenced sentence from your textbook. Internet references are not accepted for this Discussion, although you may use internet research for your own learning.
  2. Think about when you have experienced customer delight — a purchase experience (product or service) that surpassed your expectations. Customer delight is not simply customer satisfaction, it is exceeding expectations on an ongoing basis. Perhaps you told other people you know about your amazing experience.
  3. The response should use first person (“I”, “me”) perspective.
  4. Include the following information. Describe this purchase experience; include where, when, why, the product, the brand name, and explain the details of this positive, memorable purchase from the beginning, from when you first considered the purchase, to the eventual purchase transaction and outcome. Be specific.
  5. Describe the processes, steps, and phases you believe the company did to make sure your purchase experience was delightful (surpassed expectation and perhaps made you brand loyal). You may make assumptions for this portion of this Discussion. Include the following considerations.
    • Do you think you were a target market customer? Why or why not?
    • How did the company communicate the benefits of their product or service to you?
    • Why did you choose their product?
    • Was the product or service available to you when and where you wanted it? Once you received and used the product or service, did it perform as you expected? Explain.
  6. Support your response’s content with at least one applied and cited reference from a Kaplan Library article. Apply and cite no more than one referenced sentence per paragraph. You may also apply and cite one sentence from the textbook if you wish. Internet references are not accepted for this Discussion. Use APA in-text citation within the response and list the applied reference(s) at the end of the response using APA formatting. APA formatting resources are available in Kaplan’s Writing Center in the “Research, Citation, and Plagiarism” area.

Hope through distraction

The story by of the Shawshank Redemption is an inspiring one played out by Andy Dufreine. The story is mainly geared to showing ways in which we can be able to keep on hoping for some final result even though the situation may be grave. There are various plots and scenes whereby the directors have incorporated the best effective methods possible to ensure that the rhetoric effect of the story is felt. The prison situation is nasty and seems to have no end but instilling hope for better days was the driving factor for Andy. He does not only have hopes for himself but also tends to try and pass the same to his friends. The distractions he uses while in the prison make his days more hopeful as they distract him from concentrating much on his current situation. The main argument of the story is that hope can be found whenever and is almost fully assured if one is able to focus fully on the future without concentrating much on the current situation.

Andy is portrayed as one who is not pushed to the wall by the fact that he is in prison even though he was accused falsely. He accepts what befalls him without resistance and tries to muster the courage and hopes for some change in the future. He hid a rock hammer in the Bible when going to prison. This is one of the distractions that he uses to keep himself physically busy. Through this, he is able to lose concentrations on being despaired; rather, he is more hopeful of the future. He always looked at the hammer and begins having nostalgic moments as he always remembered how the outside life was interesting and full of life. By doing so, his mind is able to relax and focus more on the brighter side. The same hammer is later used in the story when he uses it more significantly to enable his escape from the prison. This is a symbolic encounter as he is able to free himself from bondage with the same instrument that he frequently used to remember of his hope. Being assigned a role at the library was symbolic and also played a large role in making Andy have more hopes of a better future. He was tasked to help with the financial records and other small tasks at the library. When this is compared to what he was doing outside the prison, it seemed to be a smaller extension of his work. Through this, he gained a lot of courage and hope that the future might change for the better. This was a clear distraction that enabled his mind wander away from the thought of being a lockup to a free man.
