ECOM 201 Project

Overview
Suppose your group works as a virtual team in a Saudi company that deals with local and global clients. The company mainly aims to provide digital marketing services and solutions in one field (e.g., cars, real estate, perfumes, fashion, flowers, healthy food, medicines, etc.). A task has been given to you by the CEO. The task includes connecting with a Chinese brand that wants to open an office in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The task is considered completed when the team proposes a strategy to the Chinese company representative and receives their feedback.
Requirements
The group needs to be divided as follows: one team manager, one representative from the Chinese brand, one technical support expert, and one or two general members.
Write a reflection on your group work process in creating the team, choosing the tools, working on the tasks, and reporting the strategy to the client.
Reflection (due by Week 10) [20 marks]
The reflection should be written after you establish a successful virtual team. The reflection should describe the process of 4 main components of virtual management: team building, tools, procedures, and task management. Please use these guidelines on how to do so:
1. Virtual Team: (4 marks- 200 words)
In this section, you need to describe the virtual team.
Name your team and specify the field you will focus on.
Who are your team members, and what are their roles?
What are the personal objectives of each member (why you joined the team)?
What is the collective goal for your team (how will your team be successful in that field)?
How the team experienced Bruce Tuckman’s four different stages of team building?
2. Virtual Tool (5 marks- 700 words)
In this section, you describe choosing a tool for your virtual team.
What are the main and complimentary virtual tools did you use to manage the tasks? (provide pictures)
Describe the features of these tools that were useful to your teamwork (provide pictures).
Why did you choose these tools? What are the other options?
Suppose your budget was SAR 10k; how did you use that budget to get the best possible tool?
How frequently does the team meet? How long is each meeting? (Provide photos of the team meetings at different times)
How the meeting minutes helped your team stay focused? (Provide an example of your team meeting minutes).
3. Virtual work dynamics (5 marks- 700 words)
How did you create a virtual office? What are the technical challenges that you faced in your work?
Give some examples of work ethics/ culture in China.
How did you utilize vacation time and holiday time?
What are the challenges that your team faced in communication? Specify how space, time, and cultural differences affected the communication process.
How did you overcome those challenges? (discuss from different roles’ perspectives).
4. Reports and presentations (5.5 marks- 500 words)
Provide an example of a proposed strategy your team worked on to make the marketing campaign successful for the Chinese company in the chosen field.
The report should be 300 words describing the status and statistics of the chosen field and how customers (target audience) can be reached. The report should have an introduction, a brief strategy, and a conclusion.
Include graphs and statistics to support your report (use local resources. If they were in Arabic, translate them).
The Chinese company representative in your team should provide his/her feedback on the report (one or two comments)
The rest of the team should address those comments.
Tell us how your teamwork was, what you would do better, and how you will thrive in the future.

ECOM 201 Group Presentation

Group Presentation (due by Week 10) [10 marks)
This is a group presentation and must be done in-class or virtually using Power Point or any other tool. The presentation should reflect your answers and experience in Assignment 2 (the project). Please refer to the following criteria:
Create 10 slides maximum
The slides should contain the following: Group members names, IDs, and CRN
A brief description of the virtual team
A brief description of the virtual tool
A brief description of the Virtual work dynamics
A brief description of the proposed reports
Suggestions for future teams.

Support your presentation with pictures from your virtual teamwork.
Each group has 10m (8 minutes presentation + 2 minutes Q & A).
Each student presents for ~2 minutes to divide the time equally between group members.
The presentation should be written and presented in English.
Upload the slides to Blackboard under the Assignment 3 tab by the specified due date.

Lagatt Green is a monopoly beer producer and distributor operating in the hypothetical economy of Lightington. Assume that Lagatt Green is not able price discriminate, and so it sells its beer to all customers at the same price per bottle. The following graph gives the marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and demand (D) curves that Lagatt Green faces for beer in Lightington.
Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for Lagatt Green. If Lagatt Green is making a profit, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. On the other hand, if Lagatt Green is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing its loss.

Suppose Lagatt Green charges $2.75 per bottle. Your study partner Gabriel says that because Lagatt Green is a monopoly with market power, it should charge the higher price of $3.00 per bottle in order to increase its profit.
Complete the following table to determine whether Gabriel is correct.
PriceQuantity DemandedTotal RevenueTotal CostProfit
(Dollars per bottle)(Cans)(Dollars)(Dollars)(Dollars)
2.75750

3.00750

Given the earlier information, Gabriel correct in his assertion that Lagatt Green should charge $3.00 per bottle.
Suppose that a technological innovation decreases Lagatt Green’s costs so that it now faces the marginal cost (MC) and average total cost (ATC) given on the following graph. Specifically, the technological innovation causes a decrease in average fixed costs, thereby lowering the ATC curve and moving the MC curve.
Place the black point (plus symbol) on the following graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for Lagatt Green. If Lagatt Green is making a profit, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. On the other hand, if Lagatt Green is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing the loss.

4. Reports and presentations (5.5 marks- 500 words)

I suggested touching on the idea that in China, some of the tools we use for communication are certainly not the same as what we have, so write how you solved this problem.the fourth question
– Propose a marketing strategy for the Chinese brand in the field you chose
– The fourth question as a whole contains 500 words, but in explaining the complete strategy, we suffice with 300 words, which include statistics about the Saudi market in this field and the target audience.
– It must include an introduction + strategy + conclusion within the required 300 words above
– Charts and statistics that support the data we mentioned (the statistics are for the Saudi market)
From here, the remaining 200 words are in the fourth question. What is required is that the representative of the Chinese brand give a feedback on the strategy that you presented to the Chinese brand (meaning, imagine that you are in the place of the Chinese brand and give a comment on the report that you submitted to them), either by rejecting or accepting, and stating the reason for rejection or acceptance.
– They remind the team members of their observations and their response to the feed back that they received from the representative of the Chinese team, and if there are no comments, they thank them and begin working with them.
The fifth and final question
Did the strategy succeed or fail? In 100 words, write about your work as a team and how it was
Important notes:
We use the same template in Blackboard and follow the format instructions
– Its name is what we forget, and it does not detract from a quarter of the same breath. 1
– How to solve: Copy all the questions and write the answer after each paragraph
– The required sources are a minimum of three
– The source book first and two or three additional ones
