Analyze MVPI
The motives, values, and preferences inventory (MVPI) is used to identify the motives and values most important to an individual. Understanding the personal values of the individuals who make up a team can be useful in understanding the team dynamics and help a manager build and sustain teamwork within the organization.
Refer to the 10 core values (listed below) evaluated on the MVPI.
Rank order the traits according to the value you assign to them, with 1 being the trait you value the most in a team member and 10 being the trait you value the least.
Explain the rationale for your ranking. Give an example of each trait drawn from your experience or observations.
MVPI Values
Recognition:
Desire for attention, approval, and praise
Power:
Desire for success, accomplishment, status, competition, and control
Hedonism:
Desire for fun, pleasure, and recreation
Altruism:
Concern about the welfare of others and contribution to a better society
Affiliation:
Desire for enjoyment of social interaction
Tradition:
Concern for established values of conduct
Security:
Desire for certainty, order, and predictability in employment and finance
Science:
quest for knowledge, research, technology, and data
Aesthetics:
need for self-expression, concern over look, feel, and design of work products

Analyze and interpret the following quotation The confrontation of.docxikirkton
Analyze and interpret the following quotation: “The confrontation of Western civilization with other peoples whose values were often dramatically opposed to the West’s…suggests that by the dawn of the twentieth century, the tradition and sense of centeredness that had defined indigenous cultures for hundreds, even thousands, of years was either threatened or in the process of being destroyed. Worldwide, non-Western cultures suddenly found that they were defined as outposts of new colonial empires developed by Europeans, resulting in the weakening of traditional cultural practices, political leadership, and social systems that had been in place for centuries.” (Sayre, 2013, pp. 410-411).
In the later nineteenth and early twentieth century, what would this “loss of centeredness” of culture have meant for a given cultural group? Select from among the non-Western cultural groups noted in the text (Native American, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, or African) and research the impact of Western or European cultures on that group.
What was the selected non-Western culture like prior to the late nineteenth century? How did it change as a result of European expansion? How is this change representative of what Sayre calls a “loss of centeredness?” Be sure to use specific examples and details.
Submit your findings in a 4-page essay in APA format.

Analyze and prepare a critique of the following situationMary h.docxikirkton
Analyze and prepare a critique of the following situation:
Mary has worked for Bob for two years. About 6 months ago, Bob asked Mary out to dinner. They had a good time together and agreed that they had some real interests in common outside of work. The pair dated for two months. Mary initially liked Bob, but he was beginning to get annoying. He called her all the time, was very pushy about her seeing him, and wanted to control all aspects of her life; both at work and at home. Mary decided to call it off. When she told Bob that she did not want to see him personally anymore, he went crazy on her. He told her she would be sorry and that he would see to it that she regretted it. Bob began to make life miserable for Mary at work. She suddenly started to get poor performance evaluations after two years of exemplary reviews. Even the managers above Bob were beginning to make comments about her poor attitude. Mary decided it was time to act. She was worried she would be fired, all because Bob wanted her to continue to date him. She loved her job and knew she did quality work. She made an appointment with the HR manager.
Using the Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1991, discuss the type of sexual harassment Mary thinks she is experiencing. What are the obligations of the HR manager once Mary reports this? Discuss the likelihood that Bob would be found guilty of sexually harassing Mary. If the HR manager investigates and finds Mary is telling the truth, what should s/he do to handle the situation so that the company is not found complicit by the EEOC if further complaint is made? If found in Mary's favor, what options does the HR manager have to remedy the situation?

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Goldcorp's Red Lake Mine
Red Lake is known as the world's richest gold mine. It's
Goldcorp's top producer in bringing 493,000 ounces in 2013. It
covers more around 230 kilometres and located in Red Lake,
Ontario. This mine is 100% owned by Goldcorp and had a
10. production of 670 000 of gold in 2013. (Red Mine Lake, 2014)
Deposits of Red Lake include periodotitic komotite and rhyolite
type. Red Lake is an underground mine which uses
underground cut and fill mining methods and crushing, grinding
and flotation processing methods. Primary mining methods
used are overhand and underhand cut and fill, pillar recovery
and long hole. Red Lake employees approximately 1250
employees and is the world lowest cost producer. The total ore
produced as of 2013 is 768, 900 at a 20.33 gold grade and with
a gold recovery rate at 95%. (Red Mine Lake, 2014)
To improve Red Mine Lake's current robust safety program,
safety training is standardized across the operation for all
employees. In December 2010, Red Lake was certified under
the International Cyanide Management Code. They have also
developed a series of management programs for environmental
activities. Red Lake will be using a similar system as the
Campbell
complex, a nine-hectare wetland reduces the concentrations of
contaminants in the waste rock and tailings pond discharges
through naturally occurring microbial forces as the discharge
water moves through the wetlands. (Red Mine Lake, 2014)
Goldcorp supports a wide range of local activities related to
education, health, community development, arts and culture.
Goldcorp is actively involved in developing a new 54 lot
housing project, as well as supporting the construction of a new
regional medical clinic within the Red Lake municipality.
These initiatives support the corporate vision of Together,
Creating Sustainable Value in the communities.Barrick Gold’s
Hemlo Mine
The Hemlo gold mines property consists of David Bell, an
underground mine, and Williams, an underground and open pit
mine, located approximately 350 kilometres east of Thunder
11. Bay, Ontario, Canada. This mine is 100% owned by Barrick
Gold. (Hemlo, 2014)
Hemlo Mine is a surface and underground with methods using
open pit and longhole stoping. The processing method Cruching,
Grinding, Leaching, and Carbon-in-pulp extraction. As of 2013,
Hemlo produced 204,000 ounces of gold which totalled $1.216
per ounce. As of 2013, Ore's produced were 1,700(000's) with a
grade of 0.078.(Hemlo, 2014)
In 2013 Barrick implemented a toxic substance reduction plan.
Implementation of several
standard policies and procedures pertaining to the Toxic
Substance, from operational and health and safety standpoints.
These policies and procedures include the following: Nitric
Acid Handling; Nitric Acid Mix Procedure; Nitric Acid Wash
Procedure; and Nitric Acid Off. (Hemlo, 2014)

Part C
Comparison of the two companies
Goldcorp seems to be the more diversified company when
looking at the number of mines, range of commodities being
mined and the number of companies it operates in. Goldcorp
operates in Canada, United States, Central and South America
and Mexico, producing commodities including gold, silver,
lead, zinc and copper; opposed to Barrick which operates in
Canada, United States, and Australia Pacific primarily
producing gold and some copper. Goldcorp currently has 18
mining operations and 2 development projects and Barrick gold
has 26 mining operations.
Goldcorp also seem to have a more comprehensive
environmental policy when compared to Barrick and places
more emphasis on its environmental activities. On the Goldcorp
12. website, under each mine and project there is a section labelled
“Health, Safety & Environment” and “Community Initiatives”
(Goldcorp Operations, 2014). This shows that the company has
set out separate environmental policies which are specific to
each mine and project.
Barrick Gold has a section on the company’s website which
explains a general environmental policy, not having a
customized one for each mine and project, therefore is not as
thorough and shows less emphasis on environmental policies for
each mine and project. However, under their Environmental
sustainability, there is detailed information on biodiversity,
materials management, water management, air emissions
management, waste rock & tailings management, and
reclamation.
