Review of Interventions for Self-Harm in the context of a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder
A human being’s personality is affected by surroundings and life situations experiences (eEnvironment) and , biologically inherited traits and daily life experiences. Individual personalities may develop into long term maladaptive patterns of behavior and experiences that differ significantly from what is ‘normal’ and expected by human beings toincrease the risk of give rise to vulnerability to developing different personality disorders Wetterborg (2015). The personality disorders may be develop gradually from adolescence to adulthood and may cause distress to the individual or problems in functioning. Without proper evidence based care and treatment personality disorders may affect the way of thinking about oneself and others and emotional response that will affect how an individual will relate to other people and how one controls his or her behavior. Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: Could you break this into two sentences? Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: Subtitle- Borderline personality disorder
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a type of personality disorder characterized by ongoing pattern of varying mood, self-image and changing behavior. (Wetterborg, 2015)
These individuals may have mood swings, and be uncertain of their place in the world and how they see themselves, hence they may have an intense and unstable pattern relationships with other people. BPD is mostly a mental disorder and is recognized by the Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DMS) and is thought to affect at least one percent of the population diagnosed and three quarters are women (Daubney, 2015). This may be because of how sexes deal with criticism in different ways with males tending to cast out issues while females internalize or due to different brain functions of the sexes. Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: I am not sure what you mean by mostly a mental disorder? Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: I think this needs to be a separate sentence
These people view things in extreme cognitive biases? and may quickly change individual opinionhow they feel about people and be a result of tense relationssomeone?. There are many other symptoms relating to borderline personality disorderBPD such as unstable and distorted self-image or sense of self, having dangerous and impulsive behaviors during periods of elevated moods, self-harming behaviors and procuring thoughts of suicidal behaviors among many others. Borderline personality disorderBPD is not usually diagnosed before adolescence and symptoms may improve or even disappear with time. Full range of most symptoms appear during teenage life and early child hood because diagnosis is difficult in children and some people may not have prevalent signs and symptoms until their mid to late life.

Paranoid Personality Disorder (301.0), which comes out of general personality disorder. These individuals have a constant distrust and suspicion of others around them, thinking that everyone has a motive against them. These patients start having problems from childhood and it presents in a variety of ways. Some of them are being apprehensive and doubtful of others thinking they are going to exploit, harm, or deceive them. Constantly preoccupied with unjustified doubts about the loyalty or trustworthiness of the people closest to them. Reluctant to confide with the fear that their information will be used maliciously against them. Persistently bears grudges, perceives attacks on their character when it is not so and quick to react with ager or counterattack (A.P.A., 2013).
These individuals or personality disorders are usually treated with cognitive behavioral therapy, which is a collaborative process of empirical investigation, reality testing, and problem-solving between the therapist and the patient (Wheeler, 2014). Depending on what other underlying issues or disorders they have, other therapeutic therapies can also be introduced but for the most part, CBT is the one that is used often for personality disorders. for PPD medication is usually not given and psychotherapy is the route, but depending on what other extreme symptoms the patient may have like anxiety or depression, then medications can be given for them. Unfortunately, these individuals don’t see that they have problems and usually don’t seek medical help, which makes for a poor quality of life for these individuals. It is common for them to have other comorbidities such as substance misuse disorder, major depressive disorder, agoraphobia and OCD (Vollm et al, 2011).
The essential feature here with these patients is distrust and being suspicious of others and their surroundings, therefore in order to be able to have any kind of therapeutic or therapist relationship with them one has to first get their trust completely. Make them feel that you are completely on their side by sharing with them that you respect what they believe but you don’t share it or have the same belief, that you have nothing that can harm them, that you are genuine and are there only for them (Carroll, 2018). Once that is established, which may take some time and patience on the therapist part, then little by little we can point various things out to them to help them see that what they perceived as evil is not it and from these little examples that are clarified then we can explain to them the disorder or problem they have.

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 6
CHEVRON’S INFRASTRUCTURE
EVOLUTION
Chevron Corporation (www.chevron.com) is one of the world’s leading
energy companies. Chevron’s headquarters are in San Ramon, California.
The company has more than 62,000 employees and produces more than
700,000 barrels of oil per day. It has 19,500 retail sites in 84 countries. In
2012, Chevron was number three on the Fortune 500 list and had more than
$244 billion in revenue in 2011 [STAT12].
IT infrastructure is very important to Chevron and to better support all
facets of its global operations, the company is always focused on improving
its infrastructure [GALL12]. Chevron faces new challenges from increased
global demand for its traditional hydrocarbon products and the need to
develop IT support for new value chains for liquid natural gas (LNG) and the
extraction of gas and oil from shale. Huge investments are being made
around the world, particularly in Australia and Angola on massive projects of
unprecedented scale. Modeling and analytics are more important than ever
to help Chevron exploit deep water drilling and hydrocarbon extraction in
areas with challenging geographies. For example, advanced seismic imaging
tools are used by Chevron to reveal possible oil or natural gas reservoirs
beneath the earth’s surface. Chevron’s proprietary seismic imaging
http://www.chevron.com/
C6-2
technology contributed to it achieving a 69% discovery rate in
2011[CHEV12].
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
Systems
Chevron refineries are continually collecting data from sensors spread
throughout the facilities to maintain safe operations and to alert operators to
potential safety issues before they ever become safety issues. Data from the
sensors is also used to optimize the way the refineries work and to identify
opportunities of greater efficiency. IT controls 60,000 valves at Chevron’s
Pascagoula, Mississippi refinery; the efficiency and safety of its end-to-end
operations are dependent on advanced sensors, supervisory control and data
acquisition (SCADA) systems, and other digital industrial control systems
[GALL12].
SCADA systems are typically centralized systems that monitor and
control entire sites and/or complexes of system.

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.

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?”

Paranoid Personality Disorder (301.0), which comes out of general personality disorder. These individuals have a constant distrust and suspicion of others around them, thinking that everyone has a motive against them. These patients start having problems from childhood and it presents in a variety of ways. Some of them are being apprehensive and doubtful of others thinking they are going to exploit, harm, or deceive them. Constantly preoccupied with unjustified doubts about the loyalty or trustworthiness of the people closest to them. Reluctant to confide with the fear that their information will be used maliciously against them. Persistently bears grudges, perceives attacks on their character when it is not so and quick to react with ager or counterattack (A.P.A., 2013).
These individuals or personality disorders are usually treated with cognitive behavioral therapy, which is a collaborative process of empirical investigation, reality testing, and problem-solving between the therapist and the patient (Wheeler, 2014). Depending on what other underlying issues or disorders they have, other therapeutic therapies can also be introduced but for the most part, CBT is the one that is used often for personality disorders. for PPD medication is usually not given and psychotherapy is the route, but depending on what other extreme symptoms the patient may have like anxiety or depression, then medications can be given for them. Unfortunately, these individuals don’t see that they have problems and usually don’t seek medical help, which makes for a poor quality of life for these individuals. It is common for them to have other comorbidities such as substance misuse disorder, major depressive disorder, agoraphobia and OCD (Vollm et al, 2011).
The essential feature here with these patients is distrust and being suspicious of others and their surroundings, therefore in order to be able to have any kind of therapeutic or therapist relationship with them one has to first get their trust completely. Make them feel that you are completely on their side by sharing with them that you respect what they believe but you don’t share it or have the same belief, that you have nothing that can harm them, that you are genuine and are there only for them (Carroll, 2018). Once that is established, which may take some time and patience on the therapist part, then little by little we can point various things out to them to help them see that what they perceived as evil is not it and from these little examples that are clarified then we can explain to them the disorder or problem they have.

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 6
CHEVRON’S INFRASTRUCTURE
EVOLUTION
Chevron Corporation (www.chevron.com) is one of the world’s leading
energy companies. Chevron’s headquarters are in San Ramon, California.
The company has more than 62,000 employees and produces more than
700,000 barrels of oil per day. It has 19,500 retail sites in 84 countries. In
2012, Chevron was number three on the Fortune 500 list and had more than
$244 billion in revenue in 2011 [STAT12].
IT infrastructure is very important to Chevron and to better support all
facets of its global operations, the company is always focused on improving
its infrastructure [GALL12]. Chevron faces new challenges from increased
global demand for its traditional hydrocarbon products and the need to
develop IT support for new value chains for liquid natural gas (LNG) and the
extraction of gas and oil from shale. Huge investments are being made
around the world, particularly in Australia and Angola on massive projects of
unprecedented scale. Modeling and analytics are more important than ever
to help Chevron exploit deep water drilling and hydrocarbon extraction in
areas with challenging geographies. For example, advanced seismic imaging
tools are used by Chevron to reveal possible oil or natural gas reservoirs
beneath the earth’s surface. Chevron’s proprietary seismic imaging
http://www.chevron.com/
C6-2
technology contributed to it achieving a 69% discovery rate in
2011[CHEV12].
Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
Systems
Chevron refineries are continually collecting data from sensors spread
throughout the facilities to maintain safe operations and to alert operators to
potential safety issues before they ever become safety issues. Data from the
sensors is also used to optimize the way the refineries work and to identify
opportunities of greater efficiency. IT controls 60,000 valves at Chevron’s
Pascagoula, Mississippi refinery; the efficiency and safety of its end-to-end
operations are dependent on advanced sensors, supervisory control and data
acquisition (SCADA) systems, and other digital industrial control systems
[GALL12].
SCADA systems are typically centralized systems that monitor and
control entire sites and/or complexes of system.

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.

:
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?

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.

#2: To obtain the necessary transportation capabilities in a short timeframe, what type of software purchase option should myIoT pursue? Explain.
The software purchase option that myIoT, Inc. should pursue would be a SaaS application. This is an Internet based service where the software is accessed online and there is no need to have it installed on site. 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.

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

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.

· 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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Different types of self-harming treatment for Borderline
Personality Disorder I would change title to something like:
Review of Interventions for Self-Harm in the context of a
diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder
A human being’s personality is affected by surroundings and
life situations experiences (eEnvironment) and , biologically
inherited traits and daily life experiences. Individual
personalities may develop into long term maladaptive patterns
of behavior and experiences that differ significantly from what
is ‘normal’ and expected by human beings toincrease the risk of
give rise to vulnerability to developing different personality
disorders Wetterborg (2015). The personality disorders may be
develop gradually from adolescence to adulthood and may cause
distress to the individual or problems in functioning. Without
proper evidence based care and treatment personality disorders
may affect the way of thinking about oneself and others and
emotional response that will affect how an individual will relate
to other people and how one controls his or her behavior.
Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: Could you break this into two
sentences? Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: Subtitle-
Borderline personality disorder
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a type of personality
disorder characterized by ongoing pattern of varying mood,
self-image and changing behavior. (Wetterborg, 2015)
These individuals may have mood swings, and be uncertain of
their place in the world and how they see themselves, hence
they may have an intense and unstable pattern relationships with
other people. BPD is mostly a mental disorder and is recognized
by the Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DMS) and is
thought to affect at least one percent of the population
diagnosed and three quarters are women (Daubney, 2015). This
2. may be because of how sexes deal with criticism in different
ways with males tending to cast out issues while females
internalize or due to different brain functions of the sexes.
Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: I am not sure what you mean
by mostly a mental disorder? Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: I
think this needs to be a separate sentence
These people view things in extreme cognitive biases? and may
quickly change individual opinionhow they feel about people
and be a result of tense relationssomeone?. There are many
other symptoms relating to borderline personality disorderBPD
such as unstable and distorted self-image or sense of self,
having dangerous and impulsive behaviors during periods of
elevated moods, self-harming behaviors and procuring thoughts
of suicidal behaviors among many others. Borderline
personality disorderBPD is not usually diagnosed before
adolescence and symptoms may improve or even disappear with
time. Full range of most symptoms appear during teenage life
and early child hood because diagnosis is difficult in children
and some people may not have prevalent signs and symptoms
until their mid to late life. AfterIf symptoms begin and are not
acted upon with treatment or therapy, the symptoms may
increase in intensity and frequency and may be triggered by
stressful situations to come sporadically during stretches of
normal behavior. Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: Did you mean
don’t appear? Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: Subtitle- Pathways
in the development of BPD
No one cause has been identified as the general cause of
borderline personality disorder although some theories and
explanations have been generated to determine what causes and
influences borderline disorder. (Schulze, 2016) Comment by
Ibrahim, Jeyda: If you have abbreviated this earlier as BPD, you
can use BPD throughout.
Developmental explanation shows how people with this type of
disorder are often related to a childhood of sexual abuse,
emotional abuse, physical abuse, regular domestic violence and
cases of neglect ion hence the trauma and suffering may be a
3. key factor of self-harming behaviors or genetic factors from the
biological theory increase the likelihood of self-harming
behaviors in the presence of a triggering environment. It has
also been theorized that brain damage maybe a cause or a
chemical dysfunction in the brains of people with borderline
personality disorder and self-harm disorder for the patients to
harm themselves or begin having suicidal behaviors. Self-
mutilation or self-harming can be scary, confusing, and
frustrating and treatment for the disorder may be helpful to
people with self-mutilation characteristics during treatment
which is vital with other personality disorders to create a
structure and therapeutic eminent because treatment may be
difficult and may take months or even years to improve the
clients ability to live more independently without engaging in
self-harming activities. (Daubney, 2015)
Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: Separate out environmental
and biological factors Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: You
need references for the theories you have mentioned
Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: You have gone into
describing symptoms again, best to separate this out and subtitle
self-harm or actually interventions for self harm,
Patients who engage in deliberate self-harm partake
psychotherapeutic interventions that will give therapist insight
to create treatment plans to the requirements of the patient and
detect important ingredients for treatmenPsychological
treatment can help individuals to formulate their self-harm and
inform care planning areas which are triggering self-harm
episodest. Cognitive Behavior therapy will works by helping the
individual to change the way the patients perceives events
thinks and what he or she does in everyday situationshow he or
she responds. Cognitive Behavior Therapy analyzes different
ways of boosting the state of mind and how to solve problems
considering the physical feelings, thoughts, emotions, and
action that may trigger self-harm and make it easier to do see
the effect on the patient and how it can be changed with time.
Cognitive behavior therapy can be done individuallydelivered
4. by awith the therapists ranging from daily toor weekly sessions
depending on the severityely of the problem or within a group a
group of people that is a self-help group guided by a therapist to
help reduce self-harming behavior or thoughts. Comment by
Ibrahim, Jeyda: I think you need to explain how or why it does
this? Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: Reference?
A cognitive behavior therapy is a short term intervention and
very goal oriented by focusing on what causes self-harm and
analyzing them to replace them with positive healthier ways of
dealing with situation in their lives. The main goals focused on
are usually; developing a positive problem orientation,
tTraining in rational problem solving to define and formulate
the basis of problem and creating alternative solutions other
than self-mutilation and reducing avoidance of problem solving,
and impulsive and careless decisions making. (Wetterborg,
2015)
Dialect behavior therapy is another form of treatment and
regarded as effective treatment of clients with borderline
personality behavior which was specifically created to treat
those with the disorder. Dialect behavior therapy assumptions
are based on people who self-harminjure behavior are
unbearable and the individual with the disorder are doing the
best they can and want to improve. The primary goal is to
change problem behavior and can be achieved by focusing on
changing the emotions and thoughts that precede problem
behaviors as well as solving the problem of individuals that
contribute to problematic thoughts, feelings and behaviors. It
addresses the problem of keeping patients in therapy based on a
clear and potentially testable theory of borderline personality
disorder and encourages a positive and validating attitude in
light of the theory. The therapy is in structured stages with each
stage the patient is helped to understand his/her problem and
taught necessary skills to enable him/her to deal with the
problem and situations more effectively (Dobson, 2019).
Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: Reference for efficacy studies
Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: I am not sure this makes
5. sense, You probably want to talk about more the theory based
on cognitive, behavioural and attachment models
According to Dobson, (2019, the techniques are extensive and
varied addressing especially every aspect of therapy
underpinned by a dialectical philosophy that emphasize on
balance, flexibly and a systematic approach to the work therapy.
This will help theis hoped to help the client deal with any
problem that she may have in applying them in life situations
that lead to self-mutilation and thoughts of self-mutilation. This
method is supported by empirical evidence which suggest that it
is successful in reducing self-harm and time spent in psychiatric
inpatient treatment. General advice and advice concerning self-
mutilation is encouraged and helps to take responsibility for
dealing with life’s problems him/herself. (Daubney, 2015)
Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: Perhaps at the beginning of
the whole treatment section you could put what is recommended
by the nice guidelines for self-harm to give an overview before
describing each approach individually
The course of dialect behavior therapy over time is organized
into a number of stages and structured in terms of hierarchies of
targets at each stage, this is because patients with borderline
personality disorder or self-harm disorder may present multiple
problems for the therapist in deciding what to focus on and
when. The pretreatment stage focuses on assessment of the
patient’s behavior and triggers that cause self-mutilation and
commitment of the patient to therapy and stop self-injury. It is a
stage for orientation of the patient to therapy to get to know the
structures therapists, what is expected and a general
introduction to dialect behavioral therapy. The first stage of
dialect behavioral therapy focuses on therapy interfering
behaviors and behaviors of the patients that interfere with the
quality of his/her life and how to try and develop the necessary
skills and method to resolve this problem. Focus may be on
suicidal behavior and thoughts that will harm the patient or
become fatal. Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: Self-harm is not a
disorder Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: I would re word this
6. Coaching and training for skills to handle self-injurious
behavior or life threatening thoughts help the patients stay
motivated in treatment despite the tremendous difficulties they
may face. The second stage of dialectical behavioral therapy
focusesd on post-traumatic stress related problems that triggers
borderline personality disorder and enhance self-injurious
behavior in the patient. This These are stressful situations to the
patients that may have activated self-injury in the past or drive
self-suicidal actions o or harmful thought. (Wetterborg, 2015)
Stage three of dialectical behavior therapy focuses on the self-
esteem of the patient and individual treatment goals made by
the patient or the patient and the therapist together working on
the motivation of the patient is an important priority to help him
have the drive to keep on with therapy and try hard to achieve
his/her goals. This stage have targets behaviors and must be
brought into control before moving onto the next phase. This
These stages are designed d to increase dialectical thinking
having hierarchy targets instituted to make therapy effective
and achieve goals. Some targets such as dDecreasing suicidal
behavior, decreasing therapy interfering behavior, decreasing
behavior that interfere with quality of life, increasing
behavioral skills, improving self-esteem and decreasing
behavior related to post traumatic stress help increase
dialectical thinking and help the patients less prone self-injury.
If in between the therapy sessions, self-ham or any other
incidences have occurred, the therapist must deal with this first
before moving to anything else (Bateman, 2015) Comment by
Ibrahim, Jeyda: This sentence needs to be broken down
According to Schulze (2016), the dialectical behavior therapy
sessions are also categorized into four, with client experiencing
three categories. The individual therapy which is a live therapy
with dialectical behavioral therapy therapist to help the patient
work on self-damaging behaviors and make sure he or she is
following skills learned to avoid stress and self-injury. Group
work helps the patient work on social skill as sand teach new
skills from the dialectic behavior therapy modules and the most
7. effective ways of implementing them. A telephone support may
come in desperate moments when the patients is having self-
injury thoughts or urges , the patient may call the therapist or a
member of the group team to discuss the urge or thoughts and
how to avoid a situation of self-injury or risking ones quality of
life. (Daubney, 2015)
The last part is for the therapist and hasto be a part of a
consultation group to help him/her keep in track and help
remain non judge mental and validating of the person’s thoughts
and feelings. This would be a therapist groupgroup of therapists
who have trained in dialectical behavior therapy. Dialectical
behavior therapy requires the patient to become mindful of the
skills and advice being advised to them to be able to optimally
gain from the therapy and be able to reduce or even stop self-
harming behaviors which may be achieved by engaging in open
discussions group therapies or discussions with the therapist
during the different stages to enable understanding of the
activities being undertaken and their importance in reducing
self-harming disorder and borderline personality disorder.
(Schulze, 2016)
Another important skill to develop is stress perseverance and
enables the patient to be able to accepting and finding meaning
to be able to stand durations in the patient’s daily life with
distress. By learning to deal with stressful situations and having
the tolerance to bear emotional pain will help the patient
become consciously aware of his or her situations and accept
them the way they are to help reduce instance of self-mutilation
due to circumstances that are distressful and events in the life
of individuals. A vital focus in stress perseverance is radical
acceptance by Lienhan which describes radical acceptance as a
tool to enable an individual to free ones feelings and mental
capacity from tormenting incidences and suffering and needs an
individual to make a choice to stop fighting with reality.
(Daubney, 2015)
This skill of letting go enhances the ability of a person to easily
favor acceptance without any judgment or self-evaluation, or
8. the circumstances in general. Emphasis on the acceptance of
reality rather than reality approval which will create an
understanding of the controllable versus factors that are
uncontrollable and help facilitate manageability of emotional
pain. Interpersonal efficiency skills that are used in dialectical
behavior therapy sessions focus on making the assertiveness of
the patient to grow and being able to say no , making requests
and coping with problems. (Schulze, 2016)
This will improve the social connections of the patient to
create better relations and allow the individual to increase their
chances of achieving their goals, while maintaining self-respect
and maintaining good relationships. This will help avoid
distressful situations to the patient by keeping good relations
and in turn reduce incidence of self-mutilation or thoughts of
self-mutilation. Emotional regulation of feelings is also an
important skill in dialectical behavior therapy and assists
individuals to reduce their vulnerability to an emotional state of
mind. To help make clear and unclouded decisions that lead an
individual to self-harm behaviors and can be achieved by having
techniques to recognize and label emotions ,finding emotional
and mental barriers to help increase emotional perseverance and
apply distress tolerance skills. (Wetterborg, 2015).
Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: What will? Think this needs
to be with previous paragraph Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda:
Needs to be restructed
This skill set is quite important to enable acceptance and find
ways to increase positive emotional events through healthy
living and participation in activities that increase self-
confidence. Dialectical behavior therapy is an effective
treatment for borderline patients however the program is quite
intense and difficult and requires high perseverance and
commitment to the program for patients to start seeing results .
Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: Which skill set?
Psychodynamic or cognitive analytical therapy is another type
of treatment to borderline disorder and self-harming disorder
and particularly effective inwhen reducing feelings of anxiety
9. or depression that are mostly related to self-mutilation and
other types of mental disorders and focusses on repeating
patterns of what? that develops fromwere gain from past
childhood experiences to help cope with emotional difficulties
and deprivations. Discussing how ones past experiences might
be affecting how the individual feels in the present days and the
therapist might be able to make connections between significant
events or periods in the patient’s life one can be able to begin
making positive changes to affect how one is feeling in the
present day and help reduce stressful situations brought about
by past experiences, occupations, acquaintances or traumatic
events. (Wetterborg, 2015). Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda:
These are two different types Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda:
This sentence is very long
The chances of positive outcome increase for self-harm
recovery happens by establishing a trusting relationship
between the patient and clinicians at therapy, providing
treatment for any existing mental issues that may be
contributing to the desire of self-mutilation or suicidal thoughts
as well as support and help from friends. A licensed mental
health professional i.e. psychiatrist, psychologist or clinical
social worker experienced in diagnosis and treatment of
borderline personality disorder can assess test symptoms offor
the disorder by conducting a thorough interview including a
discussion about symptoms or perform a careful and thorough
medical exam to self-harming patient which will help determine
the extent of self-harm behavior in the individual or ask about
family medical histories if any including history of mental
illness ,to find out the prevalence of borderline personality
disorder before finding a way to administer psychodynamic
therapy to help reduce self-harm disorder. (Schulze, 2016)
Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: This should be a separate
sentence Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: Why just
psychodynamic
Medication treatment for self-mutilation on self-harm is not
frequent but patients who have self-harm disorder require
10. medication for co-occurring disorder such as depression that
follow suite. Self-injure treatment centers and programs are also
available in case of need for intensive treatment and care of the
patient. The treatment center may exist to specifically deal with
self-harm disorder or may treat other mental issues but are a
good place to have a peaceful environment and keep patient
from committing suicide or hurting themselves .The treatment
centers provide inpatient treatment programme where the
patient stays for the whole week to help him with disorder,
intensive outpatient programs to help patients come in for
sessions and in desperate times to stop their urge of self-injure
or suicide thoughts and group psycho therapy in different times
of the week . This is to have self-injury evaluations for proper
program placement education and support, medication and case
management and aftercare planning of help the patients after
finishing his/her program and session at the treatment center
(Schulze, 2016) Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: Are these
centres in America? Needs referencing
The treatment center has a qualified team of care givers who
will be able to give therapy, monitor and administer medication
when needed. This may include psychiatrist, clinical therapists,
and registered nurses among others.
Mentalization base therapy is another form of treatment for
patients with borderline personality disorder and may also treat
self-harm behavior. This is a psychodynamic approach and
helps with analyzing thoughts and try to figure out how the
thoughts are different from others and harmful to the individual.
This will help the individual understand the motive behind the
actions of others by understanding their mental states. This
process is to enable an individual with self-harm disorder be
more attuned to his/her emotions, thoughts and means by trying
to understand the person mental state and the person mental
actions. (Wetterborg, 2015).
The therapist using Mentalization based therapy will focus more
on the past and present relationship of the patient to try and
help the patient decrease self-harm behavior or thoughts and can
11. be used both during group therapy and individual treatment.
This therapy may be used in conjunction with medication
management to increase effectiveness. The Mentalization based
therapy helps patients become emotionally better to have
decreased levels of deliberate self-harm, suicide, anxiety and
depression to function better socially (Bateman, 2015)
In summarytion of the document this review borderline
personality behavior is one of the ten personality disorders
recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
disorders (DMS) which may highly involve self-harming
behavioral not well tended or treated .Borderline personality
behavior develops from early teenage life to late midlife of
adulthood and symptoms may increase in frequency severity and
range as years are going by when left untreated. Causes can be
attributed to Developmental theory that focusses on past life
experiences and any abuse that might have taken place either
physical like sexual abuse or mental abuse such as neglect that
also has lingering emotional effects or Biological theory that
explains causes are attributed to genetic traits and inherited
genes that enhance self harm disorder or borderline personality
disorder. Treatment options include Psychotherapy with
relevant therapies to treat the disorder such as cognitive
behavior therapy that focuses on here and now problems things
the person with the disorder finds difficult, Cognitive
Analytical Therapy that which focusses on repeating patterns
from childhood experience. (Schulze, 2016) Comment by
Ibrahim, Jeyda: Usually a combination of both
Dialectical Behavior therapy focuses on how to meet the needs
of Borderline Personality Behavior patients with three stages
and structured sessions to help reduce self-mutilation behavior.
Other treatments include treatment in treatment centers,
medication treatment, and Mentalization Based Therapy.
Comment by Ibrahim, Jeyda: You may want to also write
which has been shown to be more effective or which is in the

Goal choice
One of the goals chosen from the first assignment was the
global expansion of Target Corp. In essence, Target is an
international organization working with over three hundred
thousand team members worldwide. As such, the company
should expand its branches globally and not only in the United
States and India where its headquarters are located. The
corporation tends to operate in Bangalore entire organizations
as a support function. However, it has not yet expanded its
stores outside the United States. In regards to the expansion,
Target Corp is planning to launch more than 125 stores across
the provinces in Canada and Brazil among other parts of the
developing countries.
Attract
Most managers in the current global business environment
tend to face a significant challenge in deciding on the best
employees to recruit in regards to different positions within an
13. organization. One of the most notable traits that employees
should portrait is cultural competence. Based on diversity
resources, cultural competence employees are regarded as
important aspects for the twenty-first-century business world
with globalization goals (Noe et al., 2017). Typically,
employees with this trait tend to have an easy time working
with their managers as well as growing the organization
business to the next level. Also, based on diversity, employees
will be able to communicate with different customers regardless
of their different cultures effectively. Another trait is agile
which reflects flexibility, nimble and speed an employee has
when performing various activities within the organization. The
corporation should concentrate on finding employees with
capabilities of changing with the environment and acting fast in
regards to such changes. Finally, employees who will help the
corporation in achieving its goal should be friendly and open.
The organization management should focus on individuals with
compassionate, approachable and kind qualities when dealing
with customers and clients.
The two strategies that the corporation will initiate to
attract high potential employees who best suit various positions
within the organization include the building of cultural diversity
and tackling of long-distance communication challenges. Since
Target Corp is aiming at expanding its stores to other parts of
the world, there are high chances that the corporation will
encounter different cultural practices within communities. As
such, it will have to consider its culture by imitating the
cultural practices it finds in the country they operate their
business (Yamao, 2015). Further, the corporation may decide to
send some of its competent employees to foreign countries
where they will be performing some of their business.
Therefore, it is essential for the Target management
organization to figure out how such employees will be
communicating with their loved ones back at home. Diversity
within the workforce of the organization will help to have
effective communication among the staff members and the
14. management team which in turn will contribute to efficient and
productive operations.
Develop and retain
In dealing with global customers and client, it is
significant that employees are equipped with skills relating to
online services since most customers will be located outside
borders which make it impossible to meet them on face to face
term. One of the areas that the employees will be taught
includes social simulation training to help them in responding to
culturally sensitive ways. Another significant area is filed
simulation training where employees will show techniques of
collecting information from the people living around the region
of its operations. Based on the existing employees, the
corporation should educate its workforce on general terms used
in the country they operate from. When employees are capable
of communicating the language spoken in the region, it will
enhance more customers to visit the stores hence high revenue
generation. Another area that is essential is time. In other
words, existing employees may get confused with the business
timing in the host country and that one of the home corporation.
As such, they should be taught on when is the best time to
operate in gaining more customers.
For practical training, the organization should consider setting
up classroom within the corporation where work staff will be
assembling and taught together with similar perspectives to
encourage teamwork within employees since they will tend to
have related knowledge on how to do things. Permanently,
educating employees together within the same room and
awarding those who exploit their effort than others will bond
them together and also enabling them to work in achieving
similar objectives. The main advantage of this is that when
working together as a team, the corporation will experience a
mass production from its operations which will earn it a good
income. However, the disadvantage is that when some of the
employees are promoted as a result of their effort, the others
15. may tend to fill jealousy and this may inflict conflict among
employees. The teaching of employees in the same room will
bond them together and also enabling them to work in achieving
similar objectives.
