After completing this week’s reading, address the following: In Chapter 1, it presents that gerontologists are increasingly interested in life course and intersections of identity in relation to aging and later life outcomes. Explain why this is important. In this course, we discuss those who are over the age of 55. In Chapter 3, the concepts of the young old, and old old, as well as the oldest old are presented. Describe who fall under each of these terms. The Chapter 1 reading covers the various ways gerontologists perform research. Present at least three reasons why it is important for research to be performed on the demographic of those aged over 55. Now it is your turn to perform some research of your own! Contact a person who would fall into one of the categories of old age (i.e., young old, old old, or oldest old) and interview them about how their lives have changed since they reached the milestone of being an older adult. In your post, include a brief synopsis of what you learned with regard to that person’s activities which may link to some of the concepts presented in Chapter 2: living arrangements, housing, illnesses, relationships (with partners and family), social support networks, specifics associated with race, gender, or sexual orientation, and employment situation. Based upon your Chapter 3 reading, which theory (or theories) provides the best theoretical framework for understanding the process of aging for the person that you interviewed? Be sure to support your answer. This part of the discussion should be a minimum of 300 words.

THIS IS TO SEE THE RESULTS OF MY MARKETING SIMULATOR if the username or password docent work let me know I will help you get access.  Simulation Paper In addition to the 100 points of your grade that is your performance on the simulation, there is a corresponding 100 point written paper (10% of your overall grade) due on Tuesday, June 25th, at 11:59 pm.  The paper grade will be based on your ability to describe and analyze your strategic decisions from our marketing simulation.  These points are completely independent of your actual simulation results; in other words, one could dominate in the simulation but write an awful paper and vice versa. Your paper will be submitted AFTER you’ve completed all six quarters and due on Tuesday, June 25th, at 11:59 pm. Papers will automatically lose 10 points per hour past the deadline (1-60 minutes late = 10 point penalty). In one sentence, the paper is all about explaining *why you did what you did* - it's as straightforward as that.  I'm grading you on the quality of your explanations.  The more thoughtful/insightful/analytical your explanations are, the more points you will receive. Paper Guidelines Must-Haves For each of the six quarters you need to extensively address/explain the following: Major decisions made for this quarter (what did you do?) and most importantly a thorough explanation as to why each decision was made (why did you do it?) After you receive the simulation results for each quarter (there are none for Quarter 1), describe your company’s results in depth (how did it turn out?) – I want you to analyze to find opportunities in your performance with respect to. Here is a checklist that each section (starting with Q2) of your paper needs to include. You can start with describing your results, but I need an analysis ("WHY") of your decisions with respect to: Brand/ad/price judgments for each product Number of salespeople per market per product Number of ads per product per market Major Competitors’ results for the above Balanced scorecard results - INCLUDING the FINAL RESULTS of the game found in Quarter 7 in your simulation!! So, reflecting upon your strategy, detail the changes you would make to your strategic decisions and explain why this would improve your strategy and results (what did you learn from these results and how can you improve your decision-making strategies for next quarter?). We will combine Q1 and Q2 since there are no results to discuss for Q1.  Therefore, your paper should have five sections to it (Q1+Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6).  Each of these sections will constitute 20 of the 100 points. I strongly suggest you write the paper as you go.  While this is obvious, it will truly show as your explanations will be significantly stronger than if you wait until the end to put the paper together.  Formatting Instructions NONE - This paper is meant to capture your thoughts as to how you are proceeding with the simulation as well as reflecting back upon your actions so that we may learn from any mistakes.  I do not care about the format, just the content (FYI, headings throughout the paper make it much easier to read).  Type size, type font, margins single-/double-spaced are all irrelevant to me, as I am grading solely on the quality of your explanations of your decisions. I don't have any set page-length in mind but I would argue that for this assignment if you spent a paragraph or two on every quarter, you wouldn't be supplying me with an *extensive* analysis of your simulation decisions/results.  For comparison, decent papers average 12 pages, double-spaced. Helpful Hints Picture yourself in front of a board of directors to explain how you’re spending their money.   They want in-depth explanations of *why* you’re doing what you’re doing.  SO DO I. You need to sell me on your strategic thought process. Failure to thoroughly discuss how your competitors’ actions affect your actions will kill your score. Oh yeah, did I mention that you should write your paper as you go?  I did?  Well, it's important enough to mention again!

For about 71 million Americans and approximately 73 percent of all U.S. women, the answer is yes, and for weight loss companies, that is the right answer. The weight loss industry, worth over $60 billion in 2010, is growing steadily because lifestyles and food choices keep working against people's desire to lose weight. Many Americans spend their days sitting in front of a computer and their evenings sitting in front of a television. Restaurant meals, prepared foods, and high-fat/high-sugar snacks have replaced home-cooked meals, whole grains, and fresh produce. Exercise is limited to clicking a mouse or turning an ignition key. These habits are fattening (both literally and figuratively) the profits for the weight loss industry as well as expanding belt sizes. By the time we factor in diet pills, specially packaged weight-loss meals and snacks, diet programs, and the whole range of products and services promising bathing-suit bodies, we've got a highly lucrative market.  Three recognized diet aid behemoths, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, and Slim-Fast, share a substantial piece of the pie. These companies stress flexibility to fit a wide range of lifestyles and showcase success stories. But they approach dieting differently in their quest for new members.  THE BIG THREE  Founded in 1963, Weight Watchers International now boasts groups in more than 30 countries worldwide. The program teaches portion control and the basics of good nutrition, allowing members to select their own foods. A point system, based on nutritional value, encourages members to select healthy foods, exercise appropriately, and control portions.4 Dieters record meals and snacks in a paper or electronic journal. Although members can follow the Weight Watchers regimen without support, the company notes that the most successful members are those who weigh in at weekly group sessions and attend meetings. Weight Watchers members can prepare their own food, dine out, or purchase Weight Watchers–prepared or –endorsed dinners, snacks, and desserts at most grocery stores. To further support dieters in making healthy food choices, Weight Watchers recently changed its point system, increasing the number of points for fat content and reducing them for fiber.  Recently rated the top weight loss program by Consumer Reports Health, Jenny Craig promises a unique and comprehensive plan for food, body, and mind. Members eat meals and snacks prepared and packaged by Jenny Craig, supplemented by fresh fruits and vegetables. Jenny Craig's offerings provide portion control and accommodate busy schedules by reducing meal prep time. Members meet weekly on a one-on-one basis with a personal counselor and are encouraged to develop an exercise program. Like Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig offers customized programs for men and teenagers and for those who prefer to lose weight on their own rather than travel to a center. Jenny Craig lapped Weight Watchers and other diet programs in the Consumer Reports Health ranking because of members' success in weight loss, the duration of time they remained committed to the program, and the nutritional value of the foods.  Slim-Fast, which ranked second in the Consumer Reports Health ratings, offers dieters a combination of three small and healthy snacks, two meal-replacement shakes, and one 500-calorie meal daily. By eating six small meals daily, dieters maintain steady glucose levels, and the plan ensures adequate intakes of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber.  Other diet programs abound, but even when people lose weight on these regimens, the losses tend to be temporary because the diets are based on unsustainable eating patterns, such as eliminating major food groups (e.g., no carbohydrates). Two of the big diet companies also offer social reinforcement and flexibility, which appears to help people remain committed to their weight-loss programs.  DEFINING THE DIFFERENCE  Perhaps the most significant difference among Jenny Craig, Slim-Fast, and Weight Watchers is the amount of effort required. Jenny Craig dieters don't have to think about what they eat; everything is prepared for them. Dieters on the Weight Watchers plan must learn how to make the right choices from among the foods that surround them in their daily lives. Slim-Fast combines both ease and education, but it provides fewer choices for controlled meals than Jenny Craig does. Each program competes heavily for members, particularly in the early months of the year, when Americans return to the scales after indulging over the holidays.  The diet giants are locked in another battle as well, this one targeted at men. Although a completely different program isn't necessary—both genders need to cut calories and increase exercise to lose weight—marketing specifically to men has the power to bring in new members.  While the Weight Watchers' programs are identical for men and women, the men's website is tailored to their interests and concerns, focusing more on working out and less on the eating plan. The men's site also mentions the link between obesity and erectile dysfunction, implying that a man's sex life might improve if he loses weight.  Jenny Craig's men's program also is very similar to its women's program, but tweaked, to accommodate differences in food cravings and issues with portion control. Men on this program, Jenny Craig promises, can still have a beer and fries once in a while. To further entice men to its program, Jenny Craig uses Jason Alexander, the actor who played George Costanza on the television series Seinfeld, as a spokesperson.  The Slim-Fast program tends to appeal to men because they like to lose weight on their own rather than participating in group meetings. The company has used male celebrities, including a former New York mayor, to sell its products.  TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT FOR DIETERS  Dieters have a variety of electronic devices to help track food consumption and exercise. Using any Internet-ready device, Weight Watchers members can check points values for foods including meals at popular restaurants, and add snacks or meals to their daily journal. Similar services and applications for fitness training are available via cell phone applications. Using a camera-equipped cell phone, for example, dieters can photograph a meal and send the picture to a registered dietitian, who replies with recommendations for modifying portions or food choices. Theoretically this approach is more honest than keeping a food diary because dieters may be tempted not to record full amounts. These services require additional fees though.  CASE QUESTIONS - Provide answers to the following questions to complete this assignment:  Trace how you might go through the steps in the consumer decision process if you were thinking of going on a diet and using either of these diet programs. Make sure that at each stage, you discuss how the marketers can attempt to influence you.  How have Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, and Slim-Fast created value? Value is defined to mean the relationship of benefits to cost. Please make sure that you address the key benefits and costs associated with each program. Identify the determinant attributes that set Weight Watchers', Jenny Craig's, and Slim-Fast's programs apart from each other (please make sure that you read what is meant by a determinant attribute). Use those attributes to develop a compensatory purchasing model like the one found in the lecture note. The weights that you assign represent your perceptions of the importance of each attribute. Explain your logic for the weights and explain the three plans' differences for each of the determinant attributes. Then illustrate what is meant by a compensatory model. What implications does this have for a marketer?  Which factors examined in the chapter do you think would have the most impact on consumers' propensity to go on a diet and choose either of these diet programs? Please ensure that your answer includes at least one factor from each of the three categories mentioned in the lecture (i.e., psychological, situation, or social).
