HRES 2170 – CompreheNsive Team Assignment
Due Date: November 14, 2018 at the start of class (6:00 PM - Refer to Course Outline for late policy)
Value: 25% of your final grade.
Project Details
Instructions: On the following pages, you will find the details for your comprehensive term project, which you will undertake in groups of 5. This forms a significant portion of your grade and requires your continuous commitment to be successful. The assignment is designed to fulfill multiple learning objectives to develop a range of skills for you, including working in a team.
You will see there are questions assigned to each of the topic areas. Although your writing may not be distributed equally amongst these questions for each topic area, you need to provide a maximum of 3 pages for each topic area (use double space, time new roman font). For each section you have to refer to at least one additional reference (beyond text book and class notes) to illustrate your point. You must follow APA standards and include a reference sheet outlining the additional reference(s) used at the end of each section. Failure to do so will result in reduction in 2 marks from the respective section. Please attach the grading scheme (last 3 pages) to your final submission (Failure to do so will result in 3 marks deduction).
Please make sure that you start this project early. You are in charge of your time and managing the work within your team. This process will be easier if you approach each topic area (chapter) as we are discussing it in class. I hope to provide some time in class for practice with your team, though the responsibility of this assignment is yours and there will be much work required with your team outside of class time to excel at this.
I will provide further clarity in class and always be available to answer questions. If you need clarifications and assistance with the project make sure to reach out (sooner than later). You can always book an appointment to meet me.
The assignment is purposefully designed with some ambiguity and also some leeway as these steps will look different depending on the job that you choose. The purpose is to get to a place of application with this material and this assignment models much of the realistic work of HR practitioners.
Please also be aware of the university policies with respect to Academic Dishonesty and also Plagiarism. This is taken very seriously at the university and even if the dishonesty or plagiarism is unintentional, my obligation to report it does not change. Please also know that taking credit for work you did not contribute to is also considered Academic Dishonesty and will be reported to the Office of Student Conduct as such. As such, all members of the group are expected to work on, review, read and contribute to each section. If your name is on the paper and you did not do so, this is considered grounds for plagiarism.

If you have any questions about this assignment, please post them in the Ask the Professor discussion forum so that everyone can benefit from the answers.
This assignment addresses Course Objectives 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
This assignment has been adapted from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), Managing Virtual Work Teams – A SHRM case study by Frankie S. Jones, PhD.
For this assignment there are three parts.
· Part I: An Introduction to Virtual Teams
· Part II: Building a Virtual Team
· Part III: Managing Conflict Virtually
Directions:
you will review, discuss, and address questions in each of these parts in order to arrive at your collective responses.
After reviewing all three parts associated with this case, you will prepare a 4-7 page paper that addresses the questions in each of the three parts. This paper will serve as your voice to coach Lauren on how to lead her cross-functional team to success and overcome the issues presented in the case study.. Your paper should include a minimum of 8 references from sources published within the last ten years.
Part I: An Introduction to Virtual Teams
Lauren is assigned team leader of a cross-functional team for a very important project to the company. Lauren reviews the profiles of the six team members her boss gave her. She is both intrigued and anxious when she sees that team members are geographically dispersed.
Lauren works in the Atlanta office. One team member is in India; another is in Germany; and the rest live in the United States, but in different time zones. Two staff members are in the eastern time zone (Virginia and North Carolina) and two staff members are in the central time zone (Texas and Louisiana).
Lauren has never managed a virtual team and is unsure what special skills it will take to be successful. She begins to wonder what competencies are necessary for virtual team leaders and members. She studies the team member profiles and creates a matrix to evaluate each member’s strengths and weaknesses from the perspective of working virtually. She includes herself because she realizes she needs to evaluate her own strengths and weaknesses. Lauren thinks about the challenges and opportunities she will face managing this virtual team.
In your assigned groups, you are to:
· Analyze the supplied team member matrix.
· Identify challenges and opportunities Lauren’s team might face.
· Brainstorm ways to capitalize on opportunities and address challenges.
· Record your ideas in the group discussion forum.

Groups and Teams
Case Assignment
A rapidly growing trend in the business world is the growth of virtual teams. Some companies are allowing teleworking, which means that more and more workers have to coordinate their activities with other team members through the phone or internet. Even among workers who are working from their office, more and more companies are having employees work in teams with employees who work at other locations who they may or may not have ever met in person. New technologies have been developed to help facilitate virtual teamwork, but challenges still remain.
Review the background materials and also do some research on virtual teams. Here are a few articles on virtual teams to get you started:
Garfoot, A. (2003, 05). The reality of virtual teams.
IT Training,
, 32-34. [ProQuest]
Sadri, G., & Condia, J. (2012). Managing the virtual world.
Industrial Management, 54
(1), 21-25. [ProQuest]
Rigby, R. (2013). How best to manage a virtual team.
The Financial Times
[ProQuest]
When you are finished with your research, integrate what you learned in general about group dynamics in the background materials with more specific information you learned about virtual teams. Write a four to five page paper addressing the following issues:
How do you think the five stages of group development (forming, storming, norming, performing, adjourning) will be different for virtual teams as compared to traditional teams? Discuss in regard to all five stages of group development.
Do you think virtual teams will be more or less cohesive than traditional teams? Include a discussion of the issue of groupthink in your discussion.
Overall, do you think virtual teams will perform better or worse than traditional teams? Explain your answer with references to the background readings.
Case Assignment Expectations
Answer the assignment questions directly. Stay focused on the precise assignment questions; don’t go off on tangents or devote a lot of space to general background materials.
Make use of both the required Case Assignment articles as well as the required general background materials in your paper. Apply concepts that you learned in the background materials in your answers to the assignment questions.
Review our “Writing Style Guide” for more detail on referencing and writing expectations. This guide is found under “My Resources” in the TLC portal.

Organic vs Mechanistic StructuresMechanistic OrganicIn.docx
This document compares and contrasts organic and mechanistic organizational structures. Organic structures employ less formalized coordination methods like mutual adjustment, have decentralized decision-making and communication, and view the organization as a flexible network of teams. Mechanistic structures rely on formal rules and procedures, have centralized decision-making and vertical communication, and view the organization as fixed positions corresponding to tasks. The document also notes that real organizations exhibit elements of both structures.

COM510 ASSIGNMENT COMMUNICATION CHALLENGE TOPICS
In the world of business, we can create opportunities through strategic communication. Throughout our professional careers, there are key events that raise the stakes of our communications approach.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
1) Review the Communication Challenge Topics and their accompanying case study examples.
2) Select 1 topic that is professionally relevant for you.
3) Use for your COM510 assignments (the topic you have selected, not the case study example).
Note: If there is another challenge or current opportunity in your professional life that is more relevant for you, you may choose a topic that is not on this list. Keep in mind that the communication challenge you select must in- clude both written and verbal communication elements to meet the needs of this course. (Your professor must approve your selection before you proceed.)
1
Examples of each scenario are provided to demonstrate what thoughtful, professional communication would look like in each of these situations. These are only examples and should not be used for completing the assignment. You can create and establish all necessary assumptions. The scenario is yours to explain.
COMMUNICATION CHALLENGE TOPICS
Choose one of the following topics for your assignments.
• Internal Promotion Opportunity
• New Job Opportunity Interview
• Running a Meeting
• Coaching Your Direct Employees
• Pitching a Project Idea
INTERNAL PROMOTION
Seeking a promotion from within your company is one opportunity in which strategic communication could mean the difference be- tween success and failure. If you choose this scenario, you’ll need to create both a written and a verbal (audio or video) communica- tion. These elements should explain why you are the right person for the internal promotion while addressing potential questions you might need to answer as part of the process.
Things to Consider
• Have you checked the listings on your company’s job board lately?
• Is there a new position you would like to secure?
• Have you taken on more responsibility at work?
• Have your outcomes been positive?
• Do your job title and job description match what you do? .

Directions Choose one (1) from the following three options below an.docx
Directions: Choose one (1) from the following three options below and write a 3-4 full page essay.
OPTION #1
Responding to Mike Rose’s article “Blue Collar Brilliance,” write an essay that argues for a “cognitive biography” of a blue collar job you are familiar with. You may write about a job you currently or previously have been involved with or one which your friends or family have been engaged in.
In order to argue for a “cognitive biography,” you will need to apply direct sentences (three quotations) from Rose's article which describe the “on the job intelligence” needed in the job you are writing about.
In your conclusion, put into your own words what you think the meaning is of Rose’s idea that a separation between mind and body “cripple[s] our ability to talk across cultural divides.”
NOTE: If you write about food service or factory work, be sure to include new elements of “cognitive labor” to avoid repetition.
OPTION #2

Assignment 2 - Analyze a Literary Descriptive Essay
A Fulfilled Purpose
Written by Austin A. Wheeler
It is worse to be living but lacking life than it is to be dead. Therefore, one who exist in vain is one who does not exist at all. Mankind often becomes inclined to follow a particular established order, regardless of how right or wrong it is. The progression of the established is strictly dependent on the vision of the establisher. The authors of Pride & Prejudice and Watership Down pinpointed a particular direction that was to be followed…or to be created. In both novels, an inordinate decision was presented to the main characters and influenced by outside forces. Austen and Adams highlighted the pro et contra of society by instituting a societal standard, presenting a decision, and unveiling the product of consequence.
Fore mostly, Austen and Adams incorporate the influence of the setting. The reader is shown a prosaic establishment by the authors. After examining the exposition of each book, the audience will notice how the established order will act as a catalyst to the events to come. For example, when Fiver states, “There isn’t any danger here, at this moment. But it’s coming-it’s coming. Oh Hazel, look! The field! It’s covered in blood!” (Adams 7). Specifically, in Watership Down, the phenomena to come were clearly foreshadowed in the beginning. Fiver was purposefully given a supernatural ability to anticipate the future. Adams used fivers character to present a particular retrospective to his audience-the blindness of hoi polloi. The events within the setting of the novel makes it clear that society is being criticized, and not praised. The initial conversation between Hazel and Fiver is a prime example of Adam’s distaste in society’s thoughtlessness. Hazel emphasized, “The whole warren? Don’t be silly. They won’t come. They’ll say you’re out of your wits” (Adams 7). Regarding this, Fiver immediately replied, “Then they’ll be here when the bad thing comes. You must listen to me, Hazel. Believe me, something very bad is close upon us and we ought to go away” (Adams 7). The setting is representative of how lethal it is to ignore the signs of the present, because the future is not so forgiving. Considering this, the purpose behind the setting’s constant fluctuation is justified. Jane Austen took a far different foreboding approach to the process, in which, the imperilment would strike. The setting of Pride & Prejudice is more imbibed within the actual character itself. Austen specifically uses setting as a means to uncloak what type of society the characters live in. Pride & Prejudice unhinges another type of blindness present in society-inferiority. On the subj.

Be prepared to either defend or take the other side of each of the following propositions using analysis and facts from the readings in this chapter.
A two-tier health care system – one that tolerates different standards of access and care according to wealth and social position – is morally unjustified because health care is a basic human right of fundamental importance.
A system of socialized medicine like that in Canada is distinctly un-American and will lead to massive rationing of services.
In order to have a coherent health care financing system, it is essential to sever the link between employment and insurance.
The best feasible way to guarantee everyone access to a decent minimum level of health care is to fund a comprehensive network of public hospitals and outpatient clinics as a safety net for those without health insurance.

Sample Eulogy - EULOGY FOR ERWIN SCHAEFFER
by his son, Garry Schaeffer 12/20/01
My father had a huge heart and a remarkable sense of humor. What more could any of us ask than to be loved and amused. My father did both with ease, he loved us and made us laugh. But, of course, there was so much more.
Born in Syracuse, NY to parents, Robert and Shelly and raised with his brother, Luke and sister, Colleen, he graduated high school and college before working as a teacher for over 40 years at Marcellus High School. He married, Ellen and had 3 wonderful sons, Luke Jr., Garry and Neil, whom he loved dearly.
He was a wonderful and honorable man. I don't consider myself merely lucky to be his son, I've been downright blessed. He and my mother gave me the most profound gift that parents can give--the feeling deep down inside that I am loved and cherished. My father respected, admired, and trusted me. And I loved and respected him equally.
Of course, my father played a huge role in shaping who I am. I learned from the master how to think funny and make people laugh. He was my comedic sparring partner. His sense of humor never, ever failed him, even a couple of weeks ago when a hospice social worker came to the house. When she drove up, my father and I launched into "Dear Kindly Social Worker..." from West Side Story.

Assignment 2 - Analyze a Literary Descriptive Essay
A Fulfilled Purpose
Written by Austin A. Wheeler
It is worse to be living but lacking life than it is to be dead. Therefore, one who exist in vain is one who does not exist at all. Mankind often becomes inclined to follow a particular established order, regardless of how right or wrong it is. The progression of the established is strictly dependent on the vision of the establisher. The authors of Pride & Prejudice and Watership Down pinpointed a particular direction that was to be followed…or to be created. In both novels, an inordinate decision was presented to the main characters and influenced by outside forces. Austen and Adams highlighted the pro et contra of society by instituting a societal standard, presenting a decision, and unveiling the product of consequence.
Fore mostly, Austen and Adams incorporate the influence of the setting. The reader is shown a prosaic establishment by the authors. After examining the exposition of each book, the audience will notice how the established order will act as a catalyst to the events to come. For example, when Fiver states, “There isn’t any danger here, at this moment. But it’s coming-it’s coming. Oh Hazel, look! The field! It’s covered in blood!” (Adams 7). Specifically, in Watership Down, the phenomena to come were clearly foreshadowed in the beginning. Fiver was purposefully given a supernatural ability to anticipate the future. Adams used fivers character to present a particular retrospective to his audience-the blindness of hoi polloi. The events within the setting of the novel makes it clear that society is being criticized, and not praised. The initial conversation between Hazel and Fiver is a prime example of Adam’s distaste in society’s thoughtlessness. Hazel emphasized, “The whole warren? Don’t be silly. They won’t come. They’ll say you’re out of your wits” (Adams 7). Regarding this, Fiver immediately replied, “Then they’ll be here when the bad thing comes. You must listen to me, Hazel. Believe me, something very bad is close upon us and we ought to go away” (Adams 7). The setting is representative of how lethal it is to ignore the signs of the present, because the future is not so forgiving. Considering this, the purpose behind the setting’s constant fluctuation is justified. Jane Austen took a far different foreboding approach to the process, in which, the imperilment would strike. The setting of Pride & Prejudice is more imbibed within the actual character itself. Austen specifically uses setting as a means to uncloak what type of society the characters live in. Pride & Prejudice unhinges another type of blindness present in society-inferiority. On the subj.

Be prepared to either defend or take the other side of each of the following propositions using analysis and facts from the readings in this chapter.
A two-tier health care system – one that tolerates different standards of access and care according to wealth and social position – is morally unjustified because health care is a basic human right of fundamental importance.
A system of socialized medicine like that in Canada is distinctly un-American and will lead to massive rationing of services.
In order to have a coherent health care financing system, it is essential to sever the link between employment and insurance.
The best feasible way to guarantee everyone access to a decent minimum level of health care is to fund a comprehensive network of public hospitals and outpatient clinics as a safety net for those without health insurance.

Sample Eulogy - EULOGY FOR ERWIN SCHAEFFER
by his son, Garry Schaeffer 12/20/01
My father had a huge heart and a remarkable sense of humor. What more could any of us ask than to be loved and amused. My father did both with ease, he loved us and made us laugh. But, of course, there was so much more.
Born in Syracuse, NY to parents, Robert and Shelly and raised with his brother, Luke and sister, Colleen, he graduated high school and college before working as a teacher for over 40 years at Marcellus High School. He married, Ellen and had 3 wonderful sons, Luke Jr., Garry and Neil, whom he loved dearly.
He was a wonderful and honorable man. I don't consider myself merely lucky to be his son, I've been downright blessed. He and my mother gave me the most profound gift that parents can give--the feeling deep down inside that I am loved and cherished. My father respected, admired, and trusted me. And I loved and respected him equally.
Of course, my father played a huge role in shaping who I am. I learned from the master how to think funny and make people laugh. He was my comedic sparring partner. His sense of humor never, ever failed him, even a couple of weeks ago when a hospice social worker came to the house. When she drove up, my father and I launched into "Dear Kindly Social Worker..." from West Side Story.
