Unit 1 Assignment: The Contemporary Value Chain Model in Action

This Assignment is an opportunity for you to relate what you learned about the Contemporary Value Chain

Model to your own knowledge and experience. The purpose of the Assignment is for you to demonstrate a

graduate level understanding of the direct correlation between the elements comprising the Contemporary

Value Chain and the customer’s purchase experience.

Directions

1. Use the already APA formatted template in Doc Sharing titled “Unit 1 Assignment Template Contemporary

Value Chain” as your starting point for this Assignment. Download the template and save it as your own

document, for example, YourNameUnit1GB570.docx.

2. Think about a horrible purchase experience— one you will never forget and perhaps because of it you will

never buy anything from that brand ever again. Perhaps you told other people how shockingly bad this

purchase experience was. In your paper you will describe the experience using the directions included within

the Unit 1 Assignment template.

3. Consider your Kaplan Library research from the Unit 1 Discussion and Chapter 1 of your textbook. Internet

references are not accepted for this Unit 1 Assignment, although you may use internet research for your own

learning. At least two different sources are required to be used as references for this Assignment, one from the

textbook and at least one from at least one Kaplan Library article.

4. Think about what the (brand name) company could/should have implemented within their value chain to

have ensured your experience was not bad, but instead left you with surpassed expectations (a delighted

customer).

5. Write a 4–6 pages paper, not including title and reference pages, applying at least four of the elements in

the Contemporary Value Chain Model and suggest how the company can improve the customer experience by

fixing value chain elements. This is your opportunity not only to see where the brand’s value chain was not

working properly, but to recommend what needs to be done so future customers have delightful experiences.

6. Write your paper using first person (“I”, “me”) perspective.

7. Include a conclusion summarizing the paper’s content without introducing any new information.

8. Support your response’s content with at least two separate sources, applied and cited references from a

Kaplan Library article and your textbook. Apply and cite no more than one referenced sentence per paragraph.

Internet references are not accepted for this Unit 1 Assignment. Use APA in-text citations 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.

9. Proofread your paper, confirm correct APA formatting, run spell check and grammar check, and proofread

again. Submit your completed paper into the Unit 1 Assignment Dropbox.
