Pathogen Analysis Report Overview.docx
The Pathogen Analysis Report is designed to assess a student's ability to understand microbiology and apply that knowledge to clinical situations. Students must write a 750-1000 word report describing the characteristics, structure, pathogenicity, stages of infection, and diagnostic methods of a disease. They must also evaluate how conditions or procedures could have changed the outcome of a case study. The report aims to demonstrate understanding of how pathogens are transmitted and impact human health.
Case Presence and effects of alteration in the homeostatic state.docx
Marshall, a 3.5 year old boy, was feeling tired and achy in the morning. At daycare, his cheeks became red and he felt warm. He did not want to play and was crying. Later, he developed a fever, chills, sore throat, runny nose, and dry cough. His mother Patricia suspected he had influenza and took him to the clinic. Influenza needs to be medically evaluated due to its potentially serious complications. The influenza virus can cause secondary bacterial pneumonia in children like Marshall due to weakening of the respiratory tract. Pneumonia may cause cyanosis or blueness of the skin due to lack of oxygen.

Organism Profile
Assignment Instructions
:
You will write an organism profile based on literature researched about your chosen organism.
Research should come from scientific information on the internet and research articles at the APUS library. Your paper should include, but not be limited to, the following topics:
1.
Introduction/background information about the species
-
Include common and scientific names of the organism, the area you and this species live (country, state, city, etc.), the area’s biome classification, etc.
2.
Life cycle of the species
-
Describe the life cycle of the organism you have chosen. The life cycle of an organism refers to the series of changes in both development and growth from its beginnings as an independent life form up until maturity, when it is able to reproduce. Organisms like bacteria have relatively simple life cycles; however other organisms (e.g., plants) have very complex stages to their life cycle.
3.
Structure and Function
-
Describe the structure and function of at least one major organ system of the species (e.g., digestive system, reproductive system). Choose one system and explain how this organism’s system is structured anatomically and physiologically. Identify any species-specific characteristics or adaptations that are particularly unique to this organism and explain why.
4.
Evolution of the organism
-
Evolution is simply heritable change over time. Sometimes changes from one generation to the next can give individuals an advantage. Specifically a trait that increases reproductive success or survival ability could be advantageous. Include a section in your profile paper about your organism’s evolution. Here are possible ways to research the topic:
a.
Conduct a review of scientific literature to understand what is known about your organism’s past evolution. Search key words may include evolution, fossil, ancestor. Often technical reports from wildlife and
conservation agencies have
descriptions of an organism’s evolution.
b.
Summarize research on any adaptive traits. Search key words include adaptation, evolution, trait, and character.
c.
Find an article on the family tree or phylogeny of your organism. Summarize the information describing related species. Search key words might include phylogeny, phylogenetic, and genetic analysis
.
d.
Use the
Tree of Life Project
to describe the phylogeny of your organism. Start at species, if possible, and trace back to the root. In addition to your summary, include any interesting patterns or unknown data.

Staphylococcus Aureus ( Mrsa ) Essay
The document discusses the pharmacology of the antibiotic ceftobiprole. It was approved in 2015 for treating community and hospital-acquired pneumonia. Ceftobiprole is a fifth-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that has activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It is administered intravenously and converted into an active form in the body. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and a metallic or buttery taste due to production of diacetyl during metabolism of the drug.
Epidemiology of yellow fever.docx
Yellow fever is caused by a virus transmitted by mosquitoes. It has an incubation period of 3 to 6 days. Recent outbreaks have occurred in Brazil, where the virus is endemic. The at-risk population in Brazil has a higher rate due to environmental factors that allow mosquitoes to thrive. Surveillance methods like screening tests can detect the virus in at-risk populations. Education on prevention of mosquito bites and vaccination are key to controlling future outbreaks.

Case Study Scenario Part 3
Introduction
This media piece explains four ethical theories in order to prepare you for the Unit 3 assignment,
Case Study Resolution
. This media piece also includes parts 1 and 2 of the case study videos for your review.
Part 3
Deontology
The ethical position to do what is right out of duty or obligation. It is often called rule-based ethics.
Deontology has been described as "absolutist," "universal," and "impersonal" (Kant, 1785/1959). It prioritizes absolute obligations over consequences. In this moral framework, ethical decision making is the rational act of applying universal principles to all situations irrespective of specific relations, contexts, or consequences. This reflects Immanuel Kant's conviction that ethical decisions cannot vary or be influenced by special circumstances or relationships. Rather, a decision is "moral" only if a rational person believes the act resulting from the decision should be universally followed in all situations. For Kant, respect for the worth of all persons was one such universal principle. A course of action that results in a person being used simply as a means for others' gains would ethically unacceptable.
With respect to deception in research, from a deontological perspective, since we would not believe it moral to intentionally deceive individuals in some other context, neither potential benefits to society nor the effectiveness of participant debriefing for a particular deception study can morally justify intentionally deceiving persons about the purpose or nature of a research study. Further, deception in research would not be ethically permissible since intentionally disguising the nature of the study for the goals of research violates the moral obligation to respect each participant's intrinsic worth by undermining individuals' right to make rational and autonomous decisions regarding participation (Fisher & Fyrberg, 1994).
Utilitarianism
The ethical position depends on the consequences of the action with the goal being producing the most good.
Utilitarian theory prioritizes the consequences (or utility) of an act over the application of universal principles (Mill, 1861/1957). From this perspective, an ethical decision is situation specific and must be governed by a risk-benefit calculus that determines which act will produce the greatest possible balance of good over bad consequences. An "act utilitarian" makes an ethical decision by evaluating the consequences of an act for a given situation. A "rule utilitarian" makes an ethical decision by evaluating whether following a general rule in all similar situation would create the greater good. Like deontology, utilitarianism is impersonal: It does not take into account interpersonal and relational features of ethical responsibility. From this perspective, psychologists' obligations to those with whom they work can be superseded by an action that would produce a greater good for others (Fisher, 1999).

CASE STUDY RUBRIC MICROBIOLOGY For the Case Study assig.docx
CASE STUDY RUBRIC MICROBIOLOGY
For the Case Study assignment the current pathogen selections may be requested by sending
an email to your instructor!
Assigned Case Study Problem:
You will create a case study for a microbial infection selected from the current pathogen list. Your case
study will be assembled using a detailed rubric (see below). Upon completion, you will submit your
case study to the Blackboard gradebook in Unit 5 and to SafeAssign.
How to create a case study
The case studies are meant to be an enjoyable, interesting, and informative assignment. This is your
chance to show that you understand the key teaching points about a microbe and to communicate
these points in a written format.
What information belongs in my case study?
Have at least 3-4 key referenced points in each of the five areas shown in the Case Study Information
Chart (see below). The left-hand heading in the chart suggests the type of information requested for the
pathogen. Outlines can be in whatever form you prefer (bullets/charts/outlines/diagrams or a mix). Be
sure to include two discussion questions (and provide complete answers) that you can incorporate
into your case study (place them at the end of your write-up). These questions should help connect your
case to other material in the course. For example, what other microbes have an A-B toxin? What other
viruses are transmitted by fecal-oral spread?
How much information should I provide for my case study?
For the Case Study, you are asked to provide at least the information requested in the chart below. The
boxed questions are suggestions for the minimum amount of information within each category. The
more detailed the information, the better the study. You may consult your textbook, CDC, WHO, Access
Medicine, Google Scholar, NCBI, WebMD, etc. to find the information. For example, if you perform a
Google search using the name of the pathogen and the word ‘vaccine’, you will find information on
current vaccines (if any), those in clinical trials, vaccines used only in animals, etc.
Case Study Information Chart
Typical Case What does a typical case look like? Use the standard format for a
patient presentation with chief complaint (CC), history of present illness
(HPI), key physical exam details (PE), lab findings, signature signs, and
any other important findings.
Description of the infectious
agent
If it is a bacterium, how is it classified? If it is a virus, what kind of
nucleic acid does it have? Does it target specific cellular types
(tropism)? Does it form a spore? Is it aerobic? Is it intracellular? Can it
only be grown in a specific type of media? How is it distinguished from
other members of the species? Does the pathogen have a significant
history with humans or animals?
Epidemiology What do you feel are the most important points about the
epidemiology of the disease? Incidence? Portal of entry? Source? Is it a
normal microb.

In 2007 San Francisco began its Healthy San Francisco Plan designed to provide health care for all San Francisco citizens. In 2007, it was estimated that San Francisco had 82,000 uninsured citizens. Under the plan, all uninsured citizens residing in San Francisco can seek care at the city's public and private clinics and hospitals. The basic coverage includes lab work, x-rays, surgery, and preventative care. The city plans to pay for this $203 million coverage by rerouting the $104 million the city currently spends treating the uninsured in the emergency rooms, mandating business contributions, and requiring income-adjusted enrollment fees. The plan requires all businesses with more than 20 employees to contribute a percentage toward the plan. Many business owners consider this a burden and warn they will not stay in the city. The Mayor sees universal health access a moral obligation for the city.
Take one of the following positions.
San Francisco has an obligation to provide its citizens with health access.-OR-
San Francisco does not have an obligation to provide its citizens with health access.
Discuss the following in your assignment
:
What is the government's role in regulating healthy and unhealthy behavior?
Has the balance between personal freedom and the government's responsibility to provide health and welfare of its citizens been eroded? Why or why not?

The organism you choose was agaricus
Organism Profile
Assignment Instructions
:
You will write an organism profile based on literature researched about your chosen organism.
Research should come from scientific information on the internet and research articles at the APUS library. Your paper should include, but not be limited to, the following topics:
1.
Introduction/background information about the species
-
Include common and scientific names of the organism, the area you and this species live (country, state, city, etc.), the area’s biome classification, etc.
2.
Life cycle of the species
-
Describe the life cycle of the organism you have chosen. The life cycle of an organism refers to the series of changes in both development and growth from its beginnings as an independent life form up until maturity, when it is able to reproduce. Organisms like bacteria have relatively simple life cycles; however other organisms (e.g., plants) have very complex stages to their life cycle.
3.
Structure and Function
-
Describe the structure and function of at least one major organ system of the species (e.g., digestive system, reproductive system). Choose one system and explain how this organism’s system is structured anatomically and physiologically. Identify any species-specific characteristics or adaptations that are particularly unique to this organism and explain why.
4.
Evolution of the organism
-
Evolution is simply heritable change over time. Sometimes changes from one generation to the next can give individuals an advantage. Specifically a trait that increases reproductive success or survival ability could be advantageous. Include a section in your profile paper about your organism’s evolution. Here are possible ways to research the topic:
a.
Conduct a review of scientific literature to understand what is known about your organism’s past evolution. Search key words may include evolution, fossil, ancestor. Often technical reports from wildlife and
conservation agencies have
descriptions of an organism’s evolution.
b.
Summarize research on any adaptive traits. Search key words include adaptation, evolution, trait, and character.
c.
Find an article on the family tree or phylogeny of your organism. Summarize the information describing related species. Search key words might include phylogeny, phylogenetic, and genetic analysis
.
d.
Use the
Tree of Life Project
to describe the phylogeny of your organism. Start at species, if possible, and trace back to the root. In addition to your summary, include any interesting patterns or unknown data.

The document discusses the pharmacology of the antibiotic ceftobiprole. It was approved in 2015 for treating community and hospital-acquired pneumonia. Ceftobiprole is a fifth-generation cephalosporin antibiotic that has activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It is administered intravenously and converted into an active form in the body. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and a metallic or buttery taste due to production of diacetyl during metabolism of the drug.
Epidemiology of yellow fever.docx
Yellow fever is caused by a virus transmitted by mosquitoes. It has an incubation period of 3 to 6 days. Recent outbreaks have occurred in Brazil, where the virus is endemic. The at-risk population in Brazil has a higher rate due to environmental factors that allow mosquitoes to thrive. Surveillance methods like screening tests can detect the virus in at-risk populations.

Case Study Scenario Part 3IntroductionThis media piece exp.docx
Case Study Scenario Part 3
Introduction
This media piece explains four ethical theories in order to prepare you for the Unit 3 assignment,
Case Study Resolution
. This media piece also includes parts 1 and 2 of the case study videos for your review.
Part 3
Deontology
The ethical position to do what is right out of duty or obligation. It is often called rule-based ethics.
Deontology has been described as "absolutist," "universal," and "impersonal" (Kant, 1785/1959). It prioritizes absolute obligations over consequences. In this moral framework, ethical decision making is the rational act of applying universal principles to all situations irrespective of specific relations, contexts, or consequences. This reflects Immanuel Kant's conviction that ethical decisions cannot vary or be influenced by special circumstances or relationships. Rather, a decision is "moral" only if a rational person believes the act resulting from the decision should be universally followed in all situations. For Kant, respect for the worth of all persons was one such universal principle. A course of action that results in a person being used simply as a means for others' gains would ethically unacceptable.
With respect to deception in research, from a deontological perspective, since we would not believe it moral to intentionally deceive individuals in some other context, neither potential benefits to society nor the effectiveness of participant debriefing for a particular deception study can morally justify intentionally deceiving persons about the purpose or nature of a research study. Further, deception in research would not be ethically permissible since intentionally disguising the nature of the study for the goals of research violates the moral obligation to respect each participant's intrinsic worth by undermining individuals' right to make rational and autonomous decisions regarding participation (Fisher & Fyrberg, 1994).
Utilitarianism
The ethical position depends on the consequences of the action with the goal being producing the most good.
Utilitarian theory prioritizes the consequences (or utility) of an act over the application of universal principles (Mill, 1861/1957). From this perspective, an ethical decision is situation specific and must be governed by a risk-benefit calculus that determines which act will produce the greatest possible balance of good over bad consequences. An "act utilitarian" makes an ethical decision by evaluating the consequences of an act for a given situation. A "rule utilitarian" makes an ethical decision by evaluating whether following a general rule in all similar situation would create the greater good. Like deontology, utilitarianism is impersonal: It does not take into account interpersonal and relational features of ethical responsibility. From this perspective, psychologists' obligations to those with whom they work can be superseded by an action that would produce a greater good for others (Fisher, 1999).

CASE STUDY RUBRIC MICROBIOLOGY For the Case Study assig.docx
CASE STUDY RUBRIC MICROBIOLOGY
For the Case Study assignment the current pathogen selections may be requested by sending
an email to your instructor!
Assigned Case Study Problem:
You will create a case study for a microbial infection selected from the current pathogen list. Your case
study will be assembled using a detailed rubric (see below). Upon completion, you will submit your
case study to the Blackboard gradebook in Unit 5 and to SafeAssign.
How to create a case study
The case studies are meant to be an enjoyable, interesting, and informative assignment. This is your
chance to show that you understand the key teaching points about a microbe and to communicate
these points in a written format.
What information belongs in my case study?
Have at least 3-4 key referenced points in each of the five areas shown in the Case Study Information
Chart (see below). The left-hand heading in the chart suggests the type of information requested for the
pathogen. Outlines can be in whatever form you prefer (bullets/charts/outlines/diagrams or a mix). Be
sure to include two discussion questions (and provide complete answers) that you can incorporate
into your case study (place them at the end of your write-up). These questions should help connect your
case to other material in the course. For example, what other microbes have an A-B toxin? What other
viruses are transmitted by fecal-oral spread?
How much information should I provide for my case study?
For the Case Study, you are asked to provide at least the information requested in the chart below. The
boxed questions are suggestions for the minimum amount of information within each category. The
more detailed the information, the better the study. You may consult your textbook, CDC, WHO, Access
Medicine, Google Scholar, NCBI, WebMD, etc. to find the information. For example, if you perform a
Google search using the name of the pathogen and the word ‘vaccine’, you will find information on
current vaccines (if any), those in clinical trials, vaccines used only in animals, etc.
Case Study Information Chart
Typical Case What does a typical case look like? Use the standard format for a
patient presentation with chief complaint (CC), history of present illness
(HPI), key physical exam details (PE), lab findings, signature signs, and
any other important findings.
Description of the infectious
agent
If it is a bacterium, how is it classified? If it is a virus, what kind of
nucleic acid does it have? Does it target specific cellular types
(tropism)? Does it form a spore? Is it aerobic? Is it intracellular? Can it
only be grown in a specific type of media? How is it distinguished from
other members of the species? Does the pathogen have a significant
history with humans or animals?
Epidemiology What do you feel are the most important points about the
epidemiology of the disease? Incidence? Portal of entry? Source? Is it a
normal microb.

In 2007 San Francisco began its Healthy San Francisco Plan designed to provide health care for all San Francisco citizens. In 2007, it was estimated that San Francisco had 82,000 uninsured citizens. Under the plan, all uninsured citizens residing in San Francisco can seek care at the city's public and private clinics and hospitals. The basic coverage includes lab work, x-rays, surgery, and preventative care. The city plans to pay for this $203 million coverage by rerouting the $104 million the city currently spends treating the uninsured in the emergency rooms, mandating business contributions, and requiring income-adjusted enrollment fees. The plan requires all businesses with more than 20 employees to contribute a percentage toward the plan. Many business owners consider this a burden and warn they will not stay in the city. The Mayor sees universal health access a moral obligation for the city.
Take one of the following positions.
San Francisco has an obligation to provide its citizens with health access.-OR-
San Francisco does not have an obligation to provide its citizens with health access.
Discuss the following in your assignment
:
What is the government's role in regulating healthy and unhealthy behavior?
Has the balance between personal freedom and the government's responsibility to provide health and welfare of its citizens been eroded? Why or why not?

MINI CASE
Delivering Business Value with IT at Hefty Hardware2
"IT is a pain in the neck," groused cheryl O'Shea, VP of retail marketing, as she
slipped into a seat at the table in the Hefty Hardware executive dining room, next to her colleagues. “It’s all technical mumbo-jumbo when they talk to you and I still don’t know if they have any idea about what we’re trying to accomplish with our Savvy Store program. I keep explaining that we have to improve the customer experience and that we need IT’s help to do this, but they keep talking about infrastructure and bandwidth and technical architecture, which is all their internal stuff and doesn’t relate to what we’re trying to do at all! They have so many processes and reviews that I’m not sure we’ll ever get this project off the ground unless we go outside the company.”"You have got that right", agreed Glen vogel, the COO. " I really like my IT account manager, Jenny Henderson. She sits in on all our strategy meetings and seems to really understand our business, but that’s about as far as it goes. By the time we get a project going, my staff are all complaining that the IT people don’t even know some of our basic business functions, like how our warehouses operate. It takes so long to deliver any sort of technology to the field, and when it doesn’t work the way we want it to, they just shrug and tell us to add it to the list for the next release! Are we really getting value for all of the millions that we pour into IT?”

Case Study Project Part 2: Economic Development Analysis and Proposal Instructions
You will submit an Economic Development Analysis and Proposal Plan, consisting of 15-20 pages, not including the title page, abstract, or reference page. In order to complete this assignment, you must choose a specific locale that you want to use for your case study. You may wish to select the community in which you currently live or a hometown as the focus of this report. A case must be a “bounded system” with definable parameters (Stake, 1995). Thus, you must choose a locale that you can define and limit. For example, you should not use New York City. Its size is far beyond what you will be able to accomplish in this course. Likewise, you would not want to choose Huston, Idaho, as it is far too small to have a need for a cohesive economic development plan. In this assignment, you will target the specific situations found in an American city, town, or county. This assignment will require that you address the following six specific areas:
Locale
When choosing your locale, make sure that you will be able to find demographic and economic information. You will want to choose an area with which you are familiar or an area where there is obvious need. Attempt to pick a city or a town that is not extremely large (i.e., New York City, however, Staten Island could be a viable project). Choosing wisely will make your research more focused so that you can complete the research by the time the course has finished.
Economic Situation
You must detail the specific economic situation facing this location. For example, if you were to choose Flint, MI, you would have to discuss the impact of the auto industry moving away from the city and the subsequent economic and social conditions of the city. How has the economic shift impacted the city and how has the city responded in the last 30 years? Additionally, what initiatives.

This is a less expensive option than purchasing software and licenses, and it allows access to the outside vendors. It is also cheaper than hosted software. Based on the cloud location, the setup time is faster, which is what myIoT needs for a two-month turnaround.
#3: What types of technology implementation challenges might myIoT face? How can these risks be minimized?
Application integration would pose a challenge. Since there is a short time-frame, ensuring all partners are “up and running” could be their biggest issue. There will need to be a training period for all that access the data. Should any of their vendors not have the same capabilities, this could throw off their entire operation. Also, due to the variety of systems organizing and sharing information might be a problem. MyIot would need to work with its supply chain partners and vendors to ensure they are all capable using the chosen TMS and begin to implement it right away. This will allow extra time to make changes and enforce training sessions.
Desmond Post
2. To obtain the necessary transportation capabilities in a short timeframe, what type of software purchase option should myIoT pursue? Explain.
My Iot should pursue a well designed TMS software system. This system specializes in planning the flow of materials across the supply chain. It's the core of routing, rating, and, executing shipments across multiple modes tracking, load tracing, and freight settlement. The capabilities and scope of TMS expands the software to a much more integrative system. It provides support for transportation strategic, tactical, and operational planning, as well as delivery execution, in transit visibility and performance evaluation. TMS also supports appointment scheduling, metrics monitoring, and freight bill auditing.
3. Whats types of technology implemenation challenges might my iot face? How can these risks be minized?
My Iot could potentially loose time in wages, delay of shipment, and possibly loose business with customers, but these risks could be minimized by implementing better planning, develop training within your team, create effective structure and monitor the technology program by following these simple steps below to correct system and human error as they occur:
· Secure the commitment of senior management
· Remember .

Case Study Planning for GrowthKelly’s Sandwich Stop is one of t.docx
Case Study: Planning for Growth
Kelly’s Sandwich Stop
is one of the best-known and most loved sandwich concessions in town. In business for about five years, she sells sandwiches and other lunch items made from locally produced food from her mobile food trailer. Kelly’s passion and talent for creating reliably fresh, tasty lunch fare popular among a business clientele (largely employees and shoppers) has made her small enterprise a booming success.
In the last year, Kelly added a bicycle-towed concession that travels to different strategic locations in town, selling her popular sandwiches to customers who work beyond walking distance of
Kelly’s Sandwich
Stop
. She now has a total of four employees, all part-time, working both concessions. Because she caters to urban customers, her concessions operate on week days from 10 am to 2 pm. To promote word-of-mouth advertising, Kelly uses Facebook to publish her daily menus and the locations of the bicycle concession.
As a sole proprietor, Kelly has been pleased with her lunch business success. Now it’s time to get serious about the future of her business. In the short and medium term, she wants to see it grow into a potentially more lucrative enterprise, implementing a greater variety of food products and services, and increasing her competitive edge in the region. Ever the ardent entrepreneur, Kelly’s long-term dream is to develop her creative, health-conscious culinary skills and services into a wider clientele outside the region.
An opportunity has arisen to lease restaurant space about 10 miles away from her trailer concession location, close to a mall and the suburbs and nearer to her local food producers. Kelly has jumped at the chance. While she has hired professional business consultants to help her set up the space, design the menu, and implement the opening of the restaurant, she must also consider the short- and long-term financial, HR, and management needs of such an expansion. Kelly is particularly sensitive to her relationship to her customers, employees, and the community.

Case Study One:
BMGT 464 Portfolio Activity Two
Purpose:
In this case the committee is looking to see how you can apply communication skills to obtain the maximum job performance of the employee in each of the short scenarios. After reading each short case, prepare answers to the questions for the upcoming search committee interview to review.
Outcomes:
The students will demonstrate understanding of the following outcomes:
· How to manage, organize, and lead employees;
· To identify the organizational theory related to increasing job performance to raise company effectiveness;
· How to communicate effectively to affect change or motivation; and
· Writing for persuasiveness.
Scenarios and Questions:
After reading each short case, prepare answers to the questions for the upcoming search committee interview to review.
1) “RLI Home Builds a Castle on Communication”
Since the outset the owner Ralph Lorean has prided himself on focusing the culture of the company on excellent customer service. Managers know that a culture like this would only work if the company’s employees enjoyed their work and the company. He wanted to build a company where every employee felt they owned the castle. Ralph believed that communication was essential to making an employee feel a part of the group, so he often said that he never wanted employees to “read about their company in the media and learn something new.”
Because RLI is international in scope it is possible that on any given day or time two thirds of its 2,000 employees are outside an office. To conquer the communication this problem imposes Ralph is surveying his managers to see if they think a new, but very expensive, “dashboard” intranet system would be worth the expenditure. The system would ensure optimal communication strategies allowing every employee remote access from wherever they are. Regardless, of location every employee can share information on the dashboard from their cell phone. However, it does not offer a “SKYPE” feature. Management has sent a short questionnaire to you asking the following questions:
A) How would the new tool influence job performance positively in RLI?
B) Could dependence on a program which does not permit access to verbal or face to face communications hinder job performance in a global setting? If so why?
C) If the dashboard was only presented in English would this be a factor in its intracompany success?
D) One of the biggest reasons suggested for purchasing the system is that it allows information to flow both from top down to bottom up. Do you see this as possible if the company is not structured in a similar way? If so why, if not why not?
2) Email Over All! Richard Burton is one of the production supervisors at Lighting R Us a branch of RLI. Richard supervises 25 employees and has been performing well in this same job for 5 years. Burton wants a promotion in the foreseeable future but feels it unlikely. Burton is always “on”. He has 24/7 email access, texts al.
