Introduction
Note: It is recommended that you take the assessments in this course in the order that they are presented.
Red Bull must find a way to maintain its leadership in the energy drink category. Looking for ways to grow sales, Red Bull’s marketing manager has tasked you with preparing a plan to introduce a new product line of energy drinks with a coffee flavor. The first three drinks will be Cinnamon Latte, Café Mocha, and Blonde Roast Light. In this assessment, you will submit a detailed analysis of these new products.
Effective marketing begins with great products, and Red Bull’s new products must meet their customer’s needs. A product analysis focuses on the design, packaging, product positioning, brand identity, and the other elements that are part of a company’s efforts to maintain a unique set of values in the customer's mind, maintaining market share leadership against the onslaught of competitive products.
Overview
The central focus of a marketing program is the product. It is the sole basis and driving force behind all marketing activities and what excites a target market.
This assessment allows you to analyze in depth a hypothetical new line of coffee energy drinks, something you might do in a marketing position as part of a complete promotion analysis and sales plan. In doing this analysis, you will look in detail at how Red Bull maximizes the branding of its products, its design and packaging, and recommend what you think is the best way for the company to position the new product in the marketplace, based on your analysis of that market.
Preparation
Start to familiarize yourself with Red Bull and its current marketing strategy by reviewing the reading list below. Check out its website and learn about the company, its goals, strategies, and successes. Use this same company for all assessments in this course.

Introduction
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010 brought significant changes to the U.S. healthcare system by improving access to care. However, it also highlighted the need for better policies, increased funding, and streamlined enrollment processes. To build on the ACA’s foundation, additional policies have been introduced over the years, such as the Hospital Quality Initiative (2012), the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA) (2015), the Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS), and the American Rescue Plan Act (2021). These initiatives aim to enhance healthcare quality through targeted regulations and reforms.This assessment lets you focus on one of five key policy areas, helping you understand healthcare reform, policy, and regulation in the United States. You’ll describe the ACA and its impact and then choose one additional healthcare program initiative introduced after 2010 to discuss. You'll explore how these policies have shaped today’s healthcare system.Preparation

Introduction
The continuum of care includes all the healthcare services a person might need, from prenatal to end-of-life, or preventive care to treatment and recovery. It focuses on keeping care connected and organized across different stages of health and providers. Primary care involves routine check-ups and basic healthcare needs. Secondary care includes specialists for more specific conditions. Tertiary care focuses on advanced treatments, like surgeries or specialized therapies. Quaternary care provides highly complex and rare services, such as experimental treatments.Healthcare administrators work in various settings, such as hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities. The smaller the organization, the more “hats” they wear. Larger organizations always have a C-Suite management team, which includes the board of directors, chief executive officer (CEO), chief financial officer (CFO), chief operations officer (COO), chief medical officer (CMO), chief nursing officer (CNO), chief compliance officer (CCO), and chief information officer (CIO).For this assessment, imagine you have taken a job as an administrator at a physician's practice that belongs to a large accountable care organization (ACO). This ACO includes three hospitals, several clinics, and services like pharmacies, surgery centers, and other facilities, all connected within a vertically integrated delivery system. One of your first tasks is to hold a lunch-and-learn session where you meet your team, introduce yourself, and talk about the practice’s operational priorities across the continuum of care.Preparation
