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 (“Iâ€, “meâ€) 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.
