what are the 4 P's of storytelling

Answer:

I believe it is People, Passion, Purpose and Product

Explanation:

Answer:

People, Passion, Purpose, and Product.

Explanation:

 When crafting a good story you need to keep the following four elements in mind: People, Passion, Purpose, Product.

People – Your story should describe the role you play in people’s lives. Therefore, your story needs to resonate with the listener. To do so, first write for the emotions you want to elicit then find the words that help you convey them.

Passion – Effective storytelling helps erase doubts in a prospect’s mind. Since what you’re really doing when you’re agvocating is selling you and your industry, a properly crafted story can garner attention, dispel doubts and solidify the truth, help build critical relationships, and resonate enough to leave a lasting impression. Finding the fodder for a well-crafted story means drawing on the passion and belief you have in your life’s work and speaking from the heart.

Purpose – Stories can help increase the value of a product. In a 2009 experiment, a couple of researchers bought $129 worth of junk at garage sales then put it all up for sale on eBay, but only after they added a ‘background’ story about each piece. They ended up making $3,600 on $129 worth of stuff due to people connecting emotionally with each piece through the story. Your purpose as an agvocate is to not only spread correct information about Canadian agriculture, but to elevate the brand by demonstrating its value to individuals and society.

Product – Don’t focus solely on the product. While it might be the best thing since sliced bread (and I think we can all agree farming is pretty great – who doesn’t love or need to eat?!), an amazing product in and of itself doesn’t necessarily make a great story. The reason behind (the passion, the benefits) the product, however, can be captivating.

2) Consider the taxi market, a constant cost competitive industry. To operate a taxi an entrepreneur needs a license. Show graphically the impact of this regulation on the market supply and the efficiency of this market (as measured by the deadweight loss). A taxi medallion used to sell for up to 1.3 million dollars in NYC. After the entry of UBER the cost dropped these days to approximately 200,000. Discuss the impact of this change on the performance of this market.

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine producers a tax. Before the tax, 30,000 bottles of wine were sold every week at a price of $6 per bottle. After the tax, 25,000 bottles of wine are sold every week; consumers pay $8 per bottle, and producers receive $5 per bottle (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $ per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $ per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $ per bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been smaller if the tax had been levied on consumers. True False

"If our company achieves a high level of relational coordination, what can we expect in terms of employee behavior?" Check all that apply. Employees will be empowered to collaborate directly with each other across organizational boundaries. Employees in different departments or divisions will share information easily. Project managers, cross-functional teams, and task forces will play a vital role in sharing information between departments or divisions. Information will flow across a network of informal relationships rather than primarily through a formal chain of command.

Krumbly Corporation uses the FIFO method in its process costing system. At the beginning of the month, Department D's work in process inventory contained 2,000 units. These units were 100% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion costs, with a total cost at that point of $13,600.

Why do managers suggest that ignoring all cash flows following the assigned payback period is not a major flaw of the payback method of capital budgeting analysis? Payback is never used in real practice so it makes no difference how academics apply the method in their studies If the cash flows after the required payback period are significant, managers will use their discretion to override the payback rule. All cash flows after the first two years are highly inaccurate so including them lessens the reliability of the resulting decision. All cash flows after the assigned payback period are relatively worthless in today’s dollars so ignoring them has no consequence. The results of including the cash flows after the required payback period rarely have any effect on the accept/reject decision.v

Yolanda and Mack are negotiating a contract deal for sale of goods. Yolanda offers Mack $2 per pound for Mack’s peanuts. Mack wants to sell them for $2.50. Under UCC, what happens when Mack asks for the higher amount, assuming both parties are merchants?

Mack’s offer becomes a counteroffer in this transaction, and Yolanda is the offeree.
Mack’s change of terms is incorporated into the standing deal.
Mack cannot make a new offer under UCC – he can only accept or reject Yolanda’s standing offer.
Mack’s offer negates the terms of the contract, and a new contract must be drawn up when both parties can meet.
