5. The last task is to prepare an Executive Summary which should be a page describing an overview of your findings in each of the concepts or theories as well as including your 3 key findings.
6. Remember to include a Works Cited page
7. The 10-minute Oral Video presentation of your PowerPoint or Prezi should be 10 minutes
8. Remember to review the rating sheet to ensure you have complied with the requirements for this project.
This course has been about meeting the criteria for each assignment and conforming to an expected timeframe; also known as project management and time management. This approach provides the framework for working within constraints of a business environment.
Once you get into the business/government/non-profit world you will be expected to comply with the organization’s “way of doing things” which means you will need to focus on Why/What/How/Who should be included in successfully meeting the project or program goals. There will also be a time management requirement, that is the “When” will the project be due. This time management of “When” may include incremental milestones as well as a final expected due date.
Administrative Communication is more than writing reports or newsletters. It is about accurately communicating why the organization has certain program goals, what is going on in the organization, how the programs will be implement, and who will be responsible for different aspects of the program. All of these elements are controlled by when the expected program wi ...
Mgmt. 350 Collaborative GuidelinesBusiness Communication many ti.docxbuffydtesurina
Mgmt. 350 Collaborative Guidelines
Business Communication many times requires sending the message so the receiver understands what it is you want them to know.
In this class you will perform 3 methods of communication: 1) written, (2) visual through a PowerPoint or Prezi and (3) orally using a video (e.g. YouTube or Mov) to explain how the theory(ies) or concept(s) apply(ies) to the case study.
An overview of the team collaborative presentation for each of these methods are listed in the Collaborative support documents.
Briefly the written assignment is a TEAM assignment in that only 1 document will be submitted on behalf of the team.
The written assignment will include all of the information on the Rating sheet. The structure of the written assignment is as follows:
1. Cover Page … with the name of your topic, a list of the students presenting the topic, the date and the course name
2. The Table of Contents which is a listing of the topics the written paper will cover
3. The Executive Summary is the first section of the paper however it is the last section to be written.
a. The reason for writing for writing this section last is that you need to have written the entire document so that you are able to provide an overview of the key elements of the written analysis.
b. REMEMBER the Executive Summary is for the EXECUTIVE. This means it needs to attract the Executive to either read the rest of the document or, more likely, refer the document to the appropriate staff person to read e.g. marketing, production, legal, etc.
c. This section can be as long as 1 page and is clearly longer than a paragraph.
4. The Introduction section begins to describe the case study and the issues that cause the analysis to begin.
5. The Body of the written analysis will feature those theories or concepts attached to the case (see the Excel Worksheet for this information).
Remember to use the RULE of 3; 3 theories or concepts and 3 examples of each theory or concept in the analysis of the case. Clearly your team cannot address all of the theories or concepts identified in the text – suggest selecting 3 theories or concepts which relate to your case and then provide 3 examples of how the theory or concept applies to the case.
Theory or Concept 1
1) 1 example of how the theory or concept applies to the case
2) 2nd example of how the theory or concept applies to the case
3) 3rd example of how the theory or concept applies to the case
Theory or Concept 2
1) 1 example of how the theory or concept applies to the case

Whole Foods Market, Inc.The organization for the Integrative C.docxphilipnelson29183
Whole Foods Market, Inc.
The organization for the Integrative Case Analysis that I chose is Whole Foods Market, Inc. Whole Foods Market was founded in Austin, Texas, when four local businesspeople decided the natural foods industry was ready for a supermarket format. The original Whole Foods Market opened in 1980 with a staff of only 19 people. It was an immediate success. Back in 1980, Whole Foods Market started out with one small store in Austin, Texas. Today, there the world’s leader in natural and organic foods, with 477 stores in North America and the United Kingdom.
The Management Theory and the Human Relations Theory are theories that relate to Whole Foods Inc. because of their policies. Last year, the “order- to- shelf” inventory system was implemented. Frederick Taylors, Management theory applies to this situation because employees are having a hard time with the new inventory system. They need to be more aware of tasks and properly trained. The Human Relation theory implies that employees are motivated b6 financial rewards but also by social factors. Currently Whole Foods Market employees do not possess this. In contrast, the workers are feeling unmotivated. Whole Foods Managers need to work on developing their management skills.
Culture, Climate, and Organizational Communication Theory also relates to Whole Foods Market Inc. Climate plays a huge role in this theory, and unfortunately, it’s a factor that’s affecting the company. The current climate of Whole Foods Market is not a stable one. Whole Foods Market has established new “scorecards” that managers are expected to grade their employees with. According to Business Insider, these scorecards record how an employee stocked a certain shelf, or managed the storage area for their department. Supervisors are also expected to quiz employees on the best-selling items or sales goals for that particular week, and deduct points for unsatisfactory results, if necessary. Any employee who scores below an 89.9 is possibly subject to termination, say workers. Lower-scoring employees have been terminated under the new “scorecard” system. Crying over stressful workplace has become a routine for Whole Food employees.
I personally, do not have any role in the organization. I do not remember ever going to a Whole Foods Market. However, I have always been aware of this company being the leader in organic industry. It’s disappointing to be aware of Whole Foods new policies, and how chaotic the work environment has become. I hope they realize they are making huge mistakes.

There will also be a time management requirement, that is the “When” will the project be due. This time management of “When” may include incremental milestones as well as a final expected due date.
Administrative Communication is more than writing reports or newsletters. It is about accurately communicating why the organization has certain program goals, what is going on in the organization, how the programs will be implement, and who will be responsible for different aspects of the program. All of these elements are controlled by when the expected program wi ...

Whole Foods Market, Inc.The organization for the Integrative C.docxphilipnelson29183
Whole Foods Market, Inc.
The organization for the Integrative Case Analysis that I chose is Whole Foods Market, Inc. Whole Foods Market was founded in Austin, Texas, when four local businesspeople decided the natural foods industry was ready for a supermarket format. The original Whole Foods Market opened in 1980 with a staff of only 19 people. It was an immediate success. Back in 1980, Whole Foods Market started out with one small store in Austin, Texas. Today, there the world’s leader in natural and organic foods, with 477 stores in North America and the United Kingdom.
The Management Theory and the Human Relations Theory are theories that relate to Whole Foods Inc. because of their policies. Last year, the “order- to- shelf” inventory system was implemented. Frederick Taylors, Management theory applies to this situation because employees are having a hard time with the new inventory system. They need to be more aware of tasks and properly trained. The Human Relation theory implies that employees are motivated b6 financial rewards but also by social factors. Currently Whole Foods Market employees do not possess this. In contrast, the workers are feeling unmotivated. Whole Foods Managers need to work on developing their management skills.
Culture, Climate, and Organizational Communication Theory also relates to Whole Foods Market Inc. Climate plays a huge role in this theory, and unfortunately, it’s a factor that’s affecting the company. The current climate of Whole Foods Market is not a stable one. Whole Foods Market has established new “scorecards” that managers are expected to grade their employees with. According to Business Insider, these scorecards record how an employee stocked a certain shelf, or managed the storage area for their department. Supervisors are also expected to quiz employees on the best-selling items or sales goals for that particular week, and deduct points for unsatisfactory results, if necessary. Any employee who scores below an 89.9 is possibly subject to termination, say workers. Lower-scoring employees have been terminated under the new “scorecard” system. Crying over stressful workplace has become a routine for Whole Food employees.
I personally, do not have any role in the organization. I do not remember ever going to a Whole Foods Market. However, I have always been aware of this company being the leader in organic industry. It’s disappointing to be aware of Whole Foods new policies, and how chaotic the work environment has become. I hope they realize they are making huge mistakes.

As a team, you are to do your research and develop a PowerPoint with voice over presentation that can be used to make a formal presentation to the VP of HR. Please note you are making this presentation to your Professor who is the VP of HR for this company.
Remember in your project work you have address the cost of purchase which should include the cost of customization to convert the off-the-shelf purchased system into a ready to use turn-key HRIS/Payroll integrated solution for the company. Also training costs of current employees in the use of the new system should be included. You also have to clearly lay out the benefits of the two
Your paper and presentation has to also include a ROI Analysis and Commentary based on research you do on ROI for HRIS Acquisitions.
There are two deliverables for this project:
First, you are to Prepare a PowerPoint Presentation for the VP of HR. The PowerPoint Presentation should be a voice over Presentation using VoiceThread.
Second, a report should be written as though you were giving it to your client the VP of HR. It should be clear, concise, and well thought out. Writing should be professional and clean.
Not to go over 20 page-count, however, it should be thorough.
· Include all aspects of the assignment grading criteria.
· Cite in text when using thoughts that are not your own. All sources must be appropriately cited—use APA for in text and reference list citation formatting.
· Include a reference page for source(s).
· Put the paper title information on a separate page.
· Use 12-point font (Arial, Times Roman), double spaced, and 1" margins as a standard format.
· Do not include extra lines between paragraphs, and so forth.
· Grammar, punctuation, spelling, and so forth, will all be taken into consideration when awarding points.
· Proofread your paper before submitting; spell check is not foolproof.
· Writing content is critical. If you make a statement, for example, "All people who break the law should improve their communication skills to stay out of jail," you need to substantiate that statement. If that statement is not your own thought or a statistic, cite. If it is your opinion, state that and explain what led you to that conclusion. Provide enough information to validate and explain the statement.
Treat this assignment as a real-world situation. This will give you the opportunity to practice how you would research and provide information as an HRM professional.

Mgmt. 350 Collaborative Guidelines
Business Communication many times requires sending the message so the receiver understands what it is you want them to know.
In this class you will perform 3 methods of communication: 1) written, (2) visual through a PowerPoint or Prezi and (3) orally using a video (e.g. YouTube or Mov) to explain how the theory(ies) or concept(s) apply(ies) to the case study.
An overview of the team collaborative presentation for each of these methods are listed in the Collaborative support documents.
Briefly the written assignment is a TEAM assignment in that only 1 document will be submitted on behalf of the team.
The written assignment will include all of the information on the Rating sheet. The structure of the written assignment is as follows:
1. Cover Page … with the name of your topic, a list of the students presenting the topic, the date and the course name
2. The Table of Contents which is a listing of the topics the written paper will cover
3. The Executive Summary is the first section of the paper however it is the last section to be written.
a. The reason for writing for writing this section last is that you need to have written the entire document so that you are able to provide an overview of the key elements of the written analysis.
b. REMEMBER the Executive Summary is for the EXECUTIVE. This means it needs to attract the Executive to either read the rest of the document or, more likely, refer the document to the appropriate staff person to read e.g. marketing, production, legal, etc.
c. This section can be as long as 1 page and is clearly longer than a paragraph.
4. The Introduction section begins to describe the case study and the issues that cause the analysis to begin.
5. The Body of the written analysis will feature those theories or concepts attached to the case (see the Excel Worksheet for this information).
Remember to use the RULE of 3; 3 theories or concepts and 3 examples of each theory or concept in the analysis of the case. Clearly your team cannot address all of the theories or concepts identified in the text – suggest selecting 3 theories or concepts which relate to your case and then provide 3 examples of how the theory or concept applies to the case.
Theory or Concept 1
1) 1 example of how the theory or concept applies to the case
2) 2nd example of how the theory or concept applies to the case
3) 3rd example of how the theory or concept applies to the case

MEAL planMain idea Topic sentence stating the focus of th.docxARIV4
MEAL plan
Main idea: Topic sentence stating the focus of the
paragraph (no citation).
Evidence: Paraphrase from source(s) to support the
topic sentence.
Analysis: Explanation and evaluation of the evidence
cited and its relevance in the student’s own words.
Lead out: Wrap-up for the paragraph, leading the
reader to transition to the next paragraph (and the
next point/topic sentence).
MEAL plan: Example I
Researchers have studied the effectiveness of a
variety of leadership theories in different
contexts. Transformational leadership has been
shown to be more effective than transactional
leadership (Bass & Riggio, 2012). Supervision, a
form of transactional leadership, is a also
successful leadership practice (Kai, 2012).
Executives from Citibank and Target to local mom-
and-pop hardware stores use transformational
leadership in their executive models (B. Rye,
personal communication, May 1, 2010). Both the
leadership style and the organizational context
can affect which leadership style is the best
choice for each organization.
MEAL plan: Example II
Supervision, one practice in transactional
leadership theory, is effective for small
business owners. The form of reward and
punishment associated with this practice
increases employee retention rates (Duffy,
2011). Improved retention not only contributes
to an efficient workplace, but it promotes local
commercial stability and cultural unity (Smith,
2012). Other management styles that are
informed by transactional theory can also
benefit communities.
Literature Review
1. A literature review is a research paper about your topic. Using at least eight (8)
professional (subject matter expert) and/or scholarly references.
2. This section is three to four pages long using a themed (topic sections) presentation
approach with as much detail as possible.
3. Depending on your topic, specific examples or literary support may be difficult to find. In
cases where there is little current research, describe how this was handled.
a. You may need to use a surrogate (somewhat related) topic in order to complete
the literature review. For example, improving the ‘needs assessment’ process in
organization XYZ may not yield research results, so you will need to generalize
the topic. Generalizing the topic could may require examining research on the
value of need assessments, the processes associated with needs assessment, or
how to a conduct needs assessment.
The literature review section/paper must include:
4. Provide a concise synopsis of the current literature that establishes the relevance of the
problem.
5. Describe studies related to the constructs of interest and chosen methodology and
methods that are consistent with the scope of the study.
6. Describe ways researchers in the discipline have approached the problem and the
strengths and weakness inherent in their approaches.
7. Justify from the literature the rationale for sel ...

MGMT 1120 Course Project InstructionsInstructions
You will be completing Parts 1 through 4 in small groups and submitting a written report. The report will include an introduction, a conclusion, and headings for each of the (4) parts. One report will be submitted for each group.
To complete this project, you will be reading and analyzing the following case, Harlequin Enterprises: Assessing e-books. For more instructions regarding retrieving the case study, please go to the end of this document.
Your group will act as consultants to the organization presented in the case. To help this organization, you will 1) identify the major problem/decision facing the organization, 2) complete internal and external analyses that you have learned in the course to make sure you understand and can apply important information from the case that relates to solving this problem, 3) identify three feasible alternatives to solving the problem/decision, 4) make a recommendation for how the organization should solve the problem (or make their decision), including an action plan that includes specific steps.
At the conclusion of the project, each student will submit his or her own individual reflection for Part 5, on the same day that the group project is due.
Here is a more detailed breakdown of each of the parts:
Part 1: Identify the problem that management needs to solve. What priority decision needs to be made? Make sure you describe the nature of the problem and why it is important; i.e., what impact will this decision have on the organization and other stakeholders?
Part 2: Perform some analyses to help you determine what factors are important for management to consider in making this decision:
a. SWOT analysis
b. NPEST analysis
c. Porter’s 5-Force Analysis
d. Stakeholder analysis
For each of these analyses, present the analyses (use a table or lists if this helps to make the information more clear). Then, write a brief paragraph after each analysis summarizing the highlights of that analysis that you think are most relevant to this decision. You will need more information about this particular industry or about environmental factors, so you will have to do some research. You will need at least 5 (five) sources (Wikipedia and the Dictionary do not count as sources.)
Part 3: Based on your analyses, identify 3 (three) possible decisions you might make. In other words, what are three reasonable alternatives that management might choose to pursue to help solve this problem? (Don’t forget to consult Chapter 7 as you consider strategic options.)
For each of these three options, identify what you perceive to be the pros and cons of pursuing that particular alternative. Use the information you discovered in your analyses and course concepts to guide you, and try to list as many as you can think of. Resist the urge to make a decision too soon!!! Try to remain objective as you consider each alternative.
Part 4: Make a decision and create an action plan for 1 ( ...
There are two objectives for the Course Project.To analyze.docxrelaine1
There are two objectives for the Course Project.
To analyze a complex negotiation (work, personal, or historical)
To apply negotiation course concepts in your analysis.
These objectives, while straightforward, are critical to your learning. Application knowledge is the key. If you can apply what you have learned in the course to the project, you will also be able to apply what you have learned in other environments after the course has ended.
Proposal Topic Ideas
The proposal
(one page is due during Week 3)
should describe the focus of the paper and your method. The negotiation can be one in which you were a participant or one in which you have been an active observer. Some examples of applicable negotiations include
a workplace negotiation, such as a complex contract, new position, or new salary (preferred);
a complex business transaction, such as a merger or acquisition;
a complex real estate purchase;
a union-management contract (including professional
sports
leagues);
a neighborhood group negotiating zoning concerns with a city government;
a negotiation between divorcing spouses who have complex
settlement
issues; and
a negotiation between a vendor and business over products and services.
The above are representative examples of possible topics. The important thing to keep in mind in your topic selection is that the negotiation should be complex enough that you can perform a thoughtful and critical analysis in your paper using concepts learned in this course.
Guidelines
Paper must be 10 pages minimum in length, not including the title, abstract, or reference pages.
Paper must apply APA formatting.
Paper may apply up to but no more than three pages in describing the negotiation.
Negotiation should be complex enough to challenge students' analytic skills.
Paper Topic Proposal (for faculty review and approval) is due in Week 3
(approximate length is one page).
Paper is due in Week 7.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Introduction
In this section, present enough information about the proposed work such that the reader understands the general context or setting. It is also helpful to include a summary of how the rest of this document is organized.
Problem Statement
In this section, present a concise statement of a research-worthy problem addressed (i.e., why the work should be undertaken – don’t say required for the class). Follow the statement of the problem with a well-supported discussion of its scope and nature. The discussion of the problem should include: what the problem is, why it is a problem, how the problem evolved or developed, and the issues and events leading to the problem.
Goal
Next, include a concise definition of the goal of the work (i.e., what the work will accomplish).
Aim to define a goal that is measurable.
Research Questions
Research questions are developed to help guide the authors through the literature for a given problem area. What were the open-ended questions asked and why did the student find (or not find) them adequate.
Relevance and Significance
The student should consider the following questions as they read through an article stating how the author(s) supported, or left unsupported the evidence, relevance, and significance of their research literature:
Why is there a problem? What groups or individuals are affected?
How far-ranging is the problem and how great is its impact? What’s the benefit of solving the problem?
What has been tried without success to correct the situation? Why weren’t those attempts successful? What are the consequences of not solving the problem?
How does the goal of the study address the research problem and how will the proposed study offer promise as a resolution to the problem?
How will the research add to the knowledge base?
What is the potential for generalization of the results?
What is the potential for original work?
Barriers and Issues
In these paragraphs, identify how the problem is inherently difficult to solve. How did the solution the author(s) propose address the difficulties?
Chapter 2 Literature Review
In this section, it is important to clearly identify the major areas on which the student will need to focus the student research in order to build a solid foundation for the study in the existing body of knowledge. The literature review is the presentation of quality literature in a particular field that serves as the foundation and justification for the research problem, research questions or hypothesis, and methodology. The student will develop a more comprehensive review of the literature as part of the research.

Assessment Task
Your Sydney HQ is developing a new marketing team with team members located in New York, Beijing and Mumbai. This will necessitate the establishment of a virtual team spread over four different time zones to use both synchronous (real time) and asynchronous (not concurrent) communication. A number of the team have expressed concerns about how it will all work, and meetings might be scheduled when one part of the team is about to go to lunch, while the other part is asleep.
To help 'sell' the idea to the team, your boss, the Marketing Director, is planning a virtual meeting with all team members. She is aware of the concerns and knows how important the presentation will be in creating a favourable association with virtual teams, as well as a good opportunity to build engagement, trust and candour among the team members.
To prepare for the virtual meeting she has asked you to: (i) evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of synchronous and asynchronous communication, and (ii) develop recommendations on how to use both synchronous and asynchronous communication tools, to not only be productive, but to maintain positive working relationships.
Please note: Part 1 will be presented as a memo. Part 2 will be presented as five (5) Powerpoint slides.
Persuasion aims to influence other people’s behaviours and attitudes. Successful persuasion shows readers ‘what’s in it for them’. Persuasive writing is one of the main types of academic writing. At work, some of the persuasive documents you might have to write are proposals, offers to clients, and memos suggesting alternative methods or new ways of doing particular tasks.
Persuasive writing has all the features of analytical writing (that is, information plus reorganising the information), with the addition of your own point of view. Most essays at university are persuasive, and there is a persuasive element in at least the discussion and conclusion of a research article. Points of view in academic writing can include an argument, a recommendation, interpretation of findings or evaluation of the work of others.
In persuasive writing, each claim you make needs to be supported by some evidence, for example a reference to research findings or published sources. The kinds of instructions for a persuasive assignment include: argue, evaluate, discuss, take a position.
Please follow these guidelines to complete the assessment:
1. To help reach your own point of view on the facts or ideas:
· read some other points of view on the topic. Who do you feel is the most convincing?
· look for patterns in the data or references. Where is the evidence strongest? ◦
· list several different inte ...
Humans, especially children, have an amazing capability to learn l (2).docxpauline234567
Humans, especially children, have an amazing capability to learn language. Within the first year of life, children will have learned many of the necessary concepts to have functional language, although it will still take years to develop fully. But are humans unique in their ability to acquire language? As you know, as a graduate student I was chosen to work with Dr. Roger Fouts at the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute (CHCI), a sanctuary for chimpanzees used in ape language research and home to world renowned Washoe, the first nonhuman to acquire a human language. Four of the chimpanzees, Washoe, Moja, Tatu and Dar were immersed in American Sign Language (ASL), and they learned to communicate by using signs in their daily interactions. Loulis, Washoe's adopted son was not cross-fostered. He acquired his signs from Washoe and the three other chimpanzees. He was the first non-human to learn a human language from other non-humans. Thus, Loulis observed the other chimpanzees using the signs of ASL around him, like CHASE and TICKLE during play interactions. Washoe would even mold his hand into signs like MORE for new food. By observing and researching how Washoe and her family learn and use the signs of ASL, we have gained a better understanding of the patterns of language development that bridge species barriers. In addition to our use of language, we have also seen that our emotions and social bonds are very similar to chimpanzees. Read the attached excerpt from "Next of Kin" by Dr. Roger Fouts & Stephen Tukel Mills and answer the following questions:
1. What was Washoe doing in the tree that day that "left Harre shaken"?
2. What did Washoe do that deaf human children also do? (Give five examples)
3. What were some behaviors Washoe exhibited that proved she hadn't been trained? (Give four examples)
4. Explain how a language study like this can change a person's view of the world.

· Your ability to use APA format to type your essay
· Your ability to find and incorporate a quote in your essay to support your thesis
· Your ability to cite the quote in APA format
· Your ability to articulate your ideas grammatically
Overview
A summary/response is a natural consequence of the reading and annotating process. In this type of essay, writers capture the controlling idea and the supporting details of a text and respond by agreeing or disagreeing and then explaining why.
The first step after active reading is writing a summary. Writing summaries is a common practice in college. They pull together the general conclusions and approaches of experts who have done research in a particular subject. Summaries should be written in your own words although you could include short quoted excerpts if you decide the author’s or speaker’s words summarize a point most precisely. Try to use pertinent quotations from the source, working them in gracefully where appropriate. Probably the best way to write a summary is ask yourself the following questions:
--What issues are described, explained or resolved in this work? --What is the controlling idea?
--What are the supporting details?
--What results or conclusions are made?
--What opinion does the author want readers to keep in mind about this topic? --What information does the author use to convince readers?
After you have written your summary, double-check to be sure that all facts you included are correct.
Summary Writing Guidelines
To move from an outline to a draft of a summary, follow these guidelines:
1. a) State the author’s name and the title of the text you’re summarizing in the first 1-2 sentences of the summary.
2. b) Express the author’s main idea in your own words in the first 1-2 sentences of the summary (no more than three words in a row from the text you’re summarizing.).

Also training costs of current employees in the use of the new system should be included. You also have to clearly lay out the benefits of the two
Your paper and presentation has to also include a ROI Analysis and Commentary based on research you do on ROI for HRIS Acquisitions.
There are two deliverables for this project:
First, you are to Prepare a PowerPoint Presentation for the VP of HR. The PowerPoint Presentation should be a voice over Presentation using VoiceThread.
Second, a report should be written as though you were giving it to your client the VP of HR. It should be clear, concise, and well thought out. Writing should be professional and clean.
Not to go over 20 page-count, however, it should be thorough.
· Include all aspects of the assignment grading criteria.

Mgmt. 350 Collaborative Guidelines
Business Communication many times requires sending the message so the receiver understands what it is you want them to know.
In this class you will perform 3 methods of communication: 1) written, (2) visual through a PowerPoint or Prezi and (3) orally using a video (e.g. YouTube or Mov) to explain how the theory(ies) or concept(s) apply(ies) to the case study.
An overview of the team collaborative presentation for each of these methods are listed in the Collaborative support documents.
Briefly the written assignment is a TEAM assignment in that only 1 document will be submitted on behalf of the team.
The written assignment will include all of the information on the Rating sheet. The structure of the written assignment is as follows:
1. Cover Page … with the name of your topic, a list of the students presenting the topic, the date and the course name
2. The Table of Contents which is a listing of the topics the written paper will cover
3. The Executive Summary is the first section of the paper however it is the last section to be written.
a. The reason for writing for writing this section last is that you need to have written the entire document so that you are able to provide an overview of the key elements of the written analysis.
b. REMEMBER the Executive Summary is for the EXECUTIVE. This means it needs to attract the Executive to either read the rest of the document or, more likely, refer the document to the appropriate staff person to read e.g. marketing, production, legal, etc.
c. This section can be as long as 1 page and is clearly longer than a paragraph.
4. The Introduction section begins to describe the case study and the issues that cause the analysis to begin.
5. The Body of the written analysis will feature those theories or concepts attached to the case (see the Excel Worksheet for this information).
Remember to use the RULE of 3; 3 theories or concepts and 3 examples of each theory or concept in the analysis of the case. Clearly your team cannot address all of the theories or concepts identified in the text – suggest selecting 3 theories or concepts which relate to your case and then provide 3 examples of how the theory or concept applies to the case.
Theory or Concept 1
1) 1 example of how the theory or concept applies to the case
2) 2nd example of how the theory or concept applies to the case
3) 3rd example of how the theory or concept applies to the case
Theory or Concept 2
1) 1 example of how the theory or concept applies to the case
2) 2nd example of how the theory or concept applies to the case
3) 3rd example of how the theory or concept applies to the case

Quality of content – 70% of points
Organization and cohesiveness of work – 20
MEAL planMain idea Topic sentence stating the focus of th.docxARIV4
MEAL plan
Main idea: Topic sentence stating the focus of the
paragraph (no citation).
Evidence: Paraphrase from source(s) to support the
topic sentence.
Analysis: Explanation and evaluation of the evidence
cited and its relevance in the student’s own words.
Lead out: Wrap-up for the paragraph, leading the
reader to transition to the next paragraph (and the
next point/topic sentence).
MEAL plan: Example I
Researchers have studied the effectiveness of a
variety of leadership theories in different
contexts. Transformational leadership has been
shown to be more effective than transactional
leadership (Bass & Riggio, 2012). Supervision, a
form of transactional leadership, is a also
successful leadership practice (Kai, 2012).
Executives from Citibank and Target to local mom-
and-pop hardware stores use transformational
leadership in their executive models (B. Rye,
personal communication, May 1, 2010). Both the
leadership style and the organizational context
can affect which leadership style is the best
choice for each organization.
MEAL plan: Example II
Supervision, one practice in transactional
leadership theory, is effective for small
business owners. The form of reward and
punishment associated with this practice
increases employee retention rates (Duffy,
2011). Improved retention not only contributes
to an efficient workplace, but it promotes local
commercial stability and cultural unity (Smith,
2012). Other management styles that are
informed by transactional theory can also
benefit communities.
Literature Review
1. A literature review is a research paper about your topic. Using at least eight (8)
professional (subject matter expert) and/or scholarly references.
2. This section is three to four pages long using a themed (topic sections) presentation
approach with as much detail as possible.
3. Depending on your topic, specific examples or literary support may be difficult to find. In
cases where there is little current research, describe how this was handled.
a. You may need to use a surrogate (somewhat related) topic in order to complete
the literature review. For example, improving the ‘needs assessment’ process in
organization XYZ may not yield research results, so you will need to generalize
the topic. Generalizing the topic could may require examining research on the
value of need assessments, the processes associated with needs assessment, or
how to a conduct needs assessment.
The literature review section/paper must include:
4. Provide a concise synopsis of the current literature that establishes the relevance of the
problem.
5. Describe studies related to the constructs of interest and chosen methodology and
methods that are consistent with the scope of the study.
6. Describe ways researchers in the discipline have approached the problem and the
strengths and weakness inherent in their approaches.
7. Justify from the literature the rationale for sel ...

MGMT 1120 Course Project InstructionsInstructions
You will be completing Parts 1 through 4 in small groups and submitting a written report. The report will include an introduction, a conclusion, and headings for each of the (4) parts. One report will be submitted for each group.
To complete this project, you will be reading and analyzing the following case, Harlequin Enterprises: Assessing e-books. For more instructions regarding retrieving the case study, please go to the end of this document.
Your group will act as consultants to the organization presented in the case. To help this organization, you will 1) identify the major problem/decision facing the organization, 2) complete internal and external analyses that you have learned in the course to make sure you understand and can apply important information from the case that relates to solving this problem, 3) identify three feasible alternatives to solving the problem/decision, 4) make a recommendation for how the organization should solve the problem (or make their decision), including an action plan that includes specific steps.
At the conclusion of the project, each student will submit his or her own individual reflection for Part 5, on the same day that the group project is due.
Here is a more detailed breakdown of each of the parts:
Part 1: Identify the problem that management needs to solve. What priority decision needs to be made? Make sure you describe the nature of the problem and why it is important; i.e., what impact will this decision have on the organization and other stakeholders?
Part 2: Perform some analyses to help you determine what factors are important for management to consider in making this decision:
a. SWOT analysis
b. NPEST analysis
c. Porter’s 5-Force Analysis
d. Stakeholder analysis
For each of these analyses, present the analyses (use a table or lists if this helps to make the information more clear). Then, write a brief paragraph after each analysis summarizing the highlights of that analysis that you think are most relevant to this decision. You will need more information about this particular industry or about environmental factors, so you will have to do some research. You will need at least 5 (five) sources (Wikipedia and the Dictionary do not count as sources.)
Part 3: Based on your analyses, identify 3 (three) possible decisions you might make. In other words, what are three reasonable alternatives that management might choose to pursue to help solve this problem? (Don’t forget to consult Chapter 7 as you consider strategic options.)
For each of these three options, identify what you perceive to be the pros and cons of pursuing that particular alternative. Use the information you discovered in your analyses and course concepts to guide you, and try to list as many as you can think of. Resist the urge to make a decision too soon!!! Try to remain objective as you consider each alternative.

There are two objectives for the Course Project.To analyze.docxrelaine1
There are two objectives for the Course Project.
To analyze a complex negotiation (work, personal, or historical)
To apply negotiation course concepts in your analysis.
These objectives, while straightforward, are critical to your learning. Application knowledge is the key. If you can apply what you have learned in the course to the project, you will also be able to apply what you have learned in other environments after the course has ended.
Proposal Topic Ideas
The proposal
(one page is due during Week 3)
should describe the focus of the paper and your method. The negotiation can be one in which you were a participant or one in which you have been an active observer. Some examples of applicable negotiations include
a workplace negotiation, such as a complex contract, new position, or new salary (preferred);
a complex business transaction, such as a merger or acquisition;
a complex real estate purchase;
a union-management contract (including professional
sports
leagues);
a neighborhood group negotiating zoning concerns with a city government;
a negotiation between divorcing spouses who have complex
settlement
issues; and
a negotiation between a vendor and business over products and services.
The above are representative examples of possible topics. The important thing to keep in mind in your topic selection is that the negotiation should be complex enough that you can perform a thoughtful and critical analysis in your paper using concepts learned in this course.
Guidelines
Paper must be 10 pages minimum in length, not including the title, abstract, or reference pages.
Paper must apply APA formatting.
Paper may apply up to but no more than three pages in describing the negotiation.
Negotiation should be complex enough to challenge students' analytic skills.
Paper Topic Proposal (for faculty review and approval) is due in Week 3
(approximate length is one page).
Paper is due in Week 7.

Relevance and Significance
The student should consider the following questions as they read through an article stating how the author(s) supported, or left unsupported the evidence, relevance, and significance of their research literature:
Why is there a problem? What groups or individuals are affected?
How far-ranging is the problem and how great is its impact? What’s the benefit of solving the problem?
What has been tried without success to correct the situation? Why weren’t those attempts successful? What are the consequences of not solving the problem?
How does the goal of the study address the research problem and how will the proposed study offer promise as a resolution to the problem?
How will the research add to the knowledge base?
What is the potential for generalization of the results?
What is the potential for original work?

Assessment Task
Your Sydney HQ is developing a new marketing team with team members located in New York, Beijing and Mumbai. This will necessitate the establishment of a virtual team spread over four different time zones to use both synchronous (real time) and asynchronous (not concurrent) communication. A number of the team have expressed concerns about how it will all work, and meetings might be scheduled when one part of the team is about to go to lunch, while the other part is asleep.
To help 'sell' the idea to the team, your boss, the Marketing Director, is planning a virtual meeting with all team members. She is aware of the concerns and knows how important the presentation will be in creating a favourable association with virtual teams, as well as a good opportunity to build engagement, trust and candour among the team members.
To prepare for the virtual meeting she has asked you to: (i) evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of synchronous and asynchronous communication, and (ii) develop recommendations on how to use both synchronous and asynchronous communication tools, to not only be productive, but to maintain positive working relationships.
Please note: Part 1 will be presented as a memo. Part 2 will be presented as five (5) Powerpoint slides.
Persuasion aims to influence other people’s behaviours and attitudes. Successful persuasion shows readers ‘what’s in it for them’. Persuasive writing is one of the main types of academic writing. At work, some of the persuasive documents you might have to write are proposals, offers to clients, and memos suggesting alternative methods or new ways of doing particular tasks.
Persuasive writing has all the features of analytical writing (that is, information plus reorganising the information), with the addition of your own point of view. Most essays at university are persuasive, and there is a persuasive element in at least the discussion and conclusion of a research article. Points of view in academic writing can include an argument, a recommendation, interpretation of findings or evaluation of the work of others.
In persuasive writing, each claim you make needs to be supported by some evidence, for example a reference to research findings or published sources. The kinds of instructions for a persuasive assignment include: argue, evaluate, discuss, take a position.

Humans, especially children, have an amazing capability to learn l (2).docxpauline234567
Humans, especially children, have an amazing capability to learn language. Within the first year of life, children will have learned many of the necessary concepts to have functional language, although it will still take years to develop fully. But are humans unique in their ability to acquire language? As you know, as a graduate student I was chosen to work with Dr. Roger Fouts at the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute (CHCI), a sanctuary for chimpanzees used in ape language research and home to world renowned Washoe, the first nonhuman to acquire a human language. Four of the chimpanzees, Washoe, Moja, Tatu and Dar were immersed in American Sign Language (ASL), and they learned to communicate by using signs in their daily interactions. Loulis, Washoe's adopted son was not cross-fostered. He acquired his signs from Washoe and the three other chimpanzees. He was the first non-human to learn a human language from other non-humans. Thus, Loulis observed the other chimpanzees using the signs of ASL around him, like CHASE and TICKLE during play interactions. Washoe would even mold his hand into signs like MORE for new food. By observing and researching how Washoe and her family learn and use the signs of ASL, we have gained a better understanding of the patterns of language development that bridge species barriers. In addition to our use of language, we have also seen that our emotions and social bonds are very similar to chimpanzees. Read the attached excerpt from "Next of Kin" by Dr. Roger Fouts & Stephen Tukel Mills and answer the following questions:
1. What was Washoe doing in the tree that day that "left Harre shaken"?
2. What did Washoe do that deaf human children also do? (Give five examples)
3. What were some behaviors Washoe exhibited that proved she hadn't been trained? (Give four examples)
4. Explain how a language study like this can change a person's view of the world.

· Your ability to cite the quote in APA format
· Your ability to articulate your ideas grammatically
Overview
A summary/response is a natural consequence of the reading and annotating process. In this type of essay, writers capture the controlling idea and the supporting details of a text and respond by agreeing or disagreeing and then explaining why.
The first step after active reading is writing a summary. Writing summaries is a common practice in college. They pull together the general conclusions and approaches of experts who have done research in a particular subject. Summaries should be written in your own words although you could include short quoted excerpts if you decide the author’s or speaker’s words summarize a point most precisely. Try to use pertinent quotations from the source, working them in gracefully where appropriate. Probably the best way to write a summary is ask yourself the following questions:
--What issues are described, explained or resolved in this work? --What is the controlling idea?
--What are the supporting details?
--What results or conclusions are made?
--What opinion does the author want readers to keep in mind about this topic? --What information does the author use to convince readers?
After you have written your summary, double-check to be sure that all facts you included are correct.
Summary Writing Guidelines
To move from an outline to a draft of a summary, follow these guidelines:
1. a) State the author’s name and the title of the text you’re summarizing in the first 1-2 sentences of the summary.
2. b) Express the author’s main idea in your own words in the first 1-2 sentences of the summary (no more than three words in a row from the text you’re summarizing.).

This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Analysis (see schedule)
b) Remember to use the RULE of 3. Three (3) theories or
concepts and three (3) examples of each theory or concept in the
analysis of the case. Clearly you cannot address all of the
theories or concepts identified in the text – suggest selecting 3
theories or concepts which relate to your case and then provide
3 examples of how the theory or concept applies to the case
c) Individual 10 minute oral PowerPoint presentation.
5. Written and oral report will determine 40% of a student’s
final grade for the course. (see individual presentation rating
sheet)
Overview of paper

Conclusion
Works Cited
Written Analysis will include all of the information on the
Rating sheet. The structure of the written assignment is as
follows:
· Cover Page … with the name of your topic, a list of the
students presenting the topic, the date and the course name
3. · The Table of Contents which is a listing of the topics the
written paper will cover
· The Executive Summary outlines the observations of the
organization. The Executive Summary is the first section of the
paper however it is the last section to be written.
· The reason for writing this section last is that you need to
have written the entire document so that you are able to identify
the key ideas the reader expects in the paper.
· REMEMBER the Executive Summary is for the EXECUTIVE.
This means it needs to attract the Executive to either read the
rest of the document or, more likely, refer the document to the
appropriate staff person to read e.g. marketing, production,
legal, etc.
· This section can be as long as 1 pages and is clearly longer
than a paragraph.
· The Body of the written analysis will feature those theories or
concepts attached to the case (see the Excel Worksheet for this
information).
· Introduction Overview of organization
· The Introduction section begins to describe the case study and
the issues that cause the analysis to begin.
· Type of Organization – vertical, horizontal, etc.
· Organizational Chart

Consideration and Strategic Ambiguity
· The conclusion represents the 3 key ideas you want the
audience to remember as the result of your analysis.
· Works Cited Page contains all of the resources you are using
to understand the case and the text(s) where you retrieved the
theories or concepts.
· Remember to check the rating sheet:
a. To ensure you have included all of the Organizational
requirements
b. The content section rates how the paper is written with the
focus on the theories or concepts required for your topic and if
there were 3 case examples for each theory or concept.
c. Remember the information in the written analysis should be
presented in the PowerPoint or Prezi; that is bot documents
should mirror each other.
· See Course Information for ICA support documents.
Grammar and style. Papers must be written in proper English.
Avoid colloquialisms, slang, contractions, sexist language, etc.
Good grammar and appropriate style are essential; papers using
5. poor grammar and style will lose points. Write in a narrative
style; third person probably will be best, but use "I" when you
refer to your thoughts, interpretations, observations, opinions,
etc.
GET WRITING HELP IF YOU NEED IT -- AS SOON AS YOU
CAN!!
Use appropriate transitions so that your narrative "flows"
smoothly from one idea to the next. Clear, short sentences are
always better than long, convoluted ones.
Proofreading. Proofread your paper before turning it in,
especially to catch typographical errors. Better yet, exchange
papers with someone in the class so that you can point out
confusing parts or problems with mechanics and style in each
other's paper.
Also, before you turn it in, make a photocopy of your paper.
This protects you against the inadvertent loss, theft, or
plagiarism of your paper.
Visual aids.
The visual portion of the collaborative assignment will include
all of the information on the Rating sheet.
1. Ten (10) slides is the rule of thumb which works out to about
1 minute oral for each slide. The visual presentation should
include the following information:
· Slide 1: is a cover page should list the title of your case, the
team members, the course and the quarter & year you are taking
the course
· Slide e2 is a Table of Contents or a list of information your
team plans to present in the following slides
· Slides 3 is an overview of the case
6. · Slides 4 through 9 features the theories or concepts and 3
examples of how each theory or concept applies to the case.
· Slide 10 should list the conclusion --- the 3 KEY points you
want the audience to REMEMBER
· Slide 11 should be your works cited page, a reference listing
of where you culled the information in your presentation
2. Unlike the written analysis the visuals should use key words
to showcase the theories or concepts required for your topic and
the 3 examples for each theory or concept.
3. Remember you also need a 1 to 2 minute YouTube video link
about your topic as part of your PowerPoint or Prezi
presentation.
4. Remember the information in the PowerPoint or Prezi should
be presented in the written analysis; that is both documents
should mirror each other.
Oral Presentation
Your presentation should include these elements:
· An Cover Page of what you will be discussing include:
· Your name
· Company analyzed
· Date and name of course
· Table of Contents = a list of topics you will be discussing
· Introduction = brief background of company
7. · Body of Presentation.
Human Relations Theory
Communication issues
Intercultural
Ethics
· Include similar "real world' situations from your personal
experiences, as applicable.
· Focus on the relative theories per frame
· Remember to use the rule of 3 (3 examples per theory/concept)
· A Conclusion should include:
· Restate an overview of three (3) of your key findings.
· Your opinion regarding success of company and/or
recommendations for improvement
Details
· The time limit is 10 minutes. (Option in person OR Video)
· You should rehearse the presentation with the clock running,
at least 2-3 times.

company fits into the various theories.
· Spend a little time on the background (who/what/where is the
business/ nonprofit/government)
· Remind the class of the three (3) important concepts as
discussed in class; NO NEED TO RESTATE THEORY … give
examples of how the theory/concept applies to your
company/organization
Submit your ICA presentation PowerPoint or Prezi to the

SAMPLE Executive Summary
The organization selected is Cool Sonic International, Inc.,
which operates its headquarters in California and a subsidiary in
Australia. The company produces automotive audio amplifiers
designed to be placed in the door compartments and the rear
deck thereby providing space in the dash for other components
i.e. GPS, cell phone, computer, DVD, etc.
The human relations model is based on a combination of
Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs and McGregor’s Y Theory.
Although each department has specific tasks, the overall
approach focuses on the goals of the organization and the
variety of methods to reach each of the goals. The engineering
and marketing departments have the greatest flexibility in
determining the approach to completing their projects. The
Controller is required to follow certain federal, state, local, and
business requirements, which limits their flexibility and yet the
team appears to enjoy their jobs.
Communication is a major issue as the time zones are not the
same. California is half way through its work day before
Australia begins working, and it is the next day for Australia.
The “tyranny-of-distance” is overcome with frequent emails and
teleconferences, with occasional in-country visits.
There are intercultural issues. Culturally there is a clash
between the marketing department in the USA and engineering
department in Australia. The USA pace is faster than the
9. Australians which tends to be “NO WORRIES MATE!”
Ethically the company has some trust concerns. The
headquarter company is structured separately from the
subsidiary, which is located in Australia, with each company
complying with separate federal, state, and local regulations.
Although the Chair and the President are represented on each
Board of Directors, there is uneasiness with the relationship.
All of the departments recognize the objective of the company
is to produce an audio amplifier which supports the next
generation sound system. Cool Sonic International, Inc.
continues to strive to build a Class D audio amplifier for the
automotive industry.

discussed throughout the paper in sufficient detail, and is
clearly written in the author’s words.
Organizational Context
The organizational background is brief and incomplete, or
longer than two pages.
The organizational background is descriptive and satisfactory
but could include some fundamental concepts to help the reader
understand the analysis to come.
The organizational background contains most details and
concepts needed to understand the organization and the analysis
that follows.
The organizational background is complete, informative, and
prepares the reader for the analysis to come.
Reframing Problem/ Issue
Discussion of issue or problem for reframing analysis is not
included or unclear.
The problem presented could be developed in a way more
suitable for a reframing analysis.
The problem used in the reframing analysis could be more
detailed with respect to the person(s) involved (including the
author) as well as the place, time, and situation.
The problem is clearly suitable for a reframing analysis and is
highly detailed with respect to the person(s) involved (including
the author) as well as the place, time, and situation.
Description of Problem
The problem is reported with no or only a few facts or details
13. and/or is dominated by strong personal speculations about why
it occurred.

sentences for each paragraph. They introduce and expand on
the content of the subheading; transitions clearly show how
ideas/topics/paragraphs are connected throughout the paper.
Conclusions
There is no obvious conclusion; the paper just ends.
There is a concluding paragraph but it merely repeats the
introduction without tying together topics discussed throughout
the paper; again the writing is highly similar to phrasing in the
