OL 421 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview .docxcherishwinsland
This document provides guidelines and a rubric for a capstone project in an online business course. The capstone consists of two components: an executive summary analyzing a company's performance based on a business simulation, and a professional reflection on skills developed in the course. The executive summary includes sections on the company's progress, current situation using a SWOT analysis, future plans, ethical/legal challenges, and global expansion considerations. The reflection addresses business communication skills, collaboration, and how the capstone and coursework will benefit future academic or professional pursuits. Students are evaluated based on demonstrating proficiency in areas like strategic problem-solving, decision-making, collaboration, and addressing challenges.
Human Services
Grading guidelines: Compose a journal assignment of at least two paragraphs as a Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Your journal assignments must follow APA formatting guidelines.
Visit the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' website, specifically the pages on Social and Human Service Assistants and Community and Social Service Occupations. Also visit the What Is Human Services? page of the National Organization for Human Services.
· In a journal posting, share what type of agency you might be interested in working for and what type of human services network (e.g., community resources) you would need to familiarize yourself with in order to address the needs of your clients.
· How would you develop this network? For example, if you wanted to work in a Head Start program for children ages 3–4, parents would probably ask you for resources that cover medical care, food, housing, and clothing.
MBA 705 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
For the capstone assessment, you will create a business implementation plan and audiovisual presentation for the product, service, or idea you have been
developing throughout your MBA coursework. You will be assessed through two artifacts. The first will be a business implementation plan, detailing the concept
and proposed implementation for potential investors or senior managers. The second artifact will be an audiovisual presentation designed to pitch the concept
(including implementation) to the same audience.
To effectively respond to the demands of a rapidly evolving business environment, today’s business managers need to possess a solid grounding in the theory,
best practices, and approaches that drive internal decision-making as well as the various external factors that can impact business choices. Perhaps no function
encompasses as many of these critical skills as ushering a new business idea, product, or service from initial conception to implementation. Throughout your
MBA coursework, you have been working to develop a business concept (product, service, or idea), considering the different elements that impact decision
making and creating a business plan for moving the concept forward successfully. As the final step in your journey toward your Master of Business Administration
degree, your capstone will bring all that work to the doorstep of implementation through the creation of a business implementation plan and an audiovisual
presentation designed to present the idea to potential investors or senior managers. You will integrate the knowledge and skills you have developed in previous
coursework and over the duration of the term with the goal of having a “ready to launch” project that you can present to an employer or potential financial
backer moving forward.
The capstone project is composed of two components. The first is a business implementation plan detailing your concept and its proposed imp ...

OL 421 Midway Company Performance Summary Guidelines and Rub.docxcherishwinsland
The document provides guidelines for an OL 421 capstone project consisting of two components: 1) an executive summary analyzing the progression of the student's company from Capsim simulation rounds 1 through 3; and 2) a reflection on business communication skills, collaboration, and the capstone experience. The executive summary must include sections on company progress, current situation (SWOT analysis), future plans, challenges, and global expansion considerations. The reflection addresses skills practiced in the capstone and business core courses. Students are assessed on demonstrating business concepts through both components.
Objective In this assignment, you will not complete a project. Ra.docxcherishwinsland
Objective: In this assignment, you will not complete a project. Rather, you will propose a project. This assignment is designed to allow you to be imaginative and draw on your own life experiences. Making use of a 250-word proposal and 6 slide PowerPoint, you will have the opportunity to demonstrate your mastery of Course Goals 1, 2, and 3 by:
•Accurately and effectively communicate ideas, information, arguments, and messages to present material in a historical context.
•Investigate and evaluate historical information from global, social, and ethical perspectives to guide decision making.
•Applying historical precedent to contemporary roles, responsibilities, and relationships in order to advance the goals of a community or organization.
You will briefly identify and propose a solution for a problem for a community or organization. You should propose sources of funding; detail the means by which you would achieve your project; and support the need or viability of your idea with historical precedents from the course materials.
Instructions: Briefly identify a problem for a community or organization, and propose a solution. You should propose sources of funding; detail the means by which you would achieve your project; and support the viability of your idea with historical precedents from the course materials. Feel free to dream. The sky is the limit. Imagine that you could actually get the Department of Transportation to fund a light rail project to enable dog owners to get home to walk their dogs at lunch time in Los Angeles. This is absurd, of course, but it is fine to dream, so long as the problem is real and your solution would do actual good. In a 250 word summary, identify a problem for a community or organization and propose a project that would either solve that problem or increase the well being of its members. Propose sources of funding; detail the means by which you would achieve your project; and support the viability of your idea with historical precedents from the required readings.
You may always write beyond the minimum guideline. Your proposal must have a thesis statement.
Including additional relevant and substantive content beyond the minimum word count will help your grade. For historical background, if you would like to include it, you may consult any of the course materials, including the required readings and classroom discussion posts (by you, me, or your peers). Cite everything you use, and cite abundantly.
PowerPoint: Your PowerPoint of at least six slides will allow you to illustrate your proposal, providing supporting imagery. Do not fret about the PowerPoint! Remember this is history. The people we study did not have PowerPoint.
· This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a draft of your business plan and an income statement containing your business plan financials (i.e. Week 7 Discussion "The Financials"). Note: You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment.

Assignment 1
Develop and write your personal mission statement.

A well-written mission statement can provide the momentum and motivation to take a company to the next level. The same is true of personal mission statement. If you thought about yourself as a company, what would you say about yourself? What values drive you? What is your marketing message? What is your reason for doing what you do?

Competency 2: Participate collaboratively and respectfully.
Explain how a mission statement reflects personal commitment to responsibility.

Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate format with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics.
Competency 4: Plan strategically.

Competency 7: Use appropriate financial models and principles.
Explain how a mission statement reflects personal economic goals.
Note
: Developing a strategic plan requires specific steps that need to be executed in a sequence. The assignments in this course are presented in order and should be completed in sequence.
Develop and write your own personal mission statement. Be clear about your passion, values, goals, and philosophies. Once you have your mission statement articulated, explain how it:
Expresses your image of yourself.
Expresses your values and philosophies.
Identifies what you have to offer.
Explain how your mission statement answers the following questions:
What are your economic goals?
What is your philosophy in terms of quality and image?
What are your core competencies and competitive advantages?
What "customers" do you serve best?
How do you view your responsibilities to those who rely on you?
Format this assignment as a research paper, following current APA guidelines for both style and citing sources, making sure that you also use correct grammar and mechanics. There is no required minimum or maximum page length; however, you should strive to be as detailed as possible in addressing each bullet point while also being as clear and concise as possible.

Unit 1: Module 1 - Overview of LASAs
Overview of LASAs
The strategy audit is a comprehensive analysis of the company’s business strategy and operating performance, and culminates in a series of recommendations for improving your company’s performance based on the findings and conclusions of your analysis. It involves assessing the actual direction of a business and comparing that course to the direction required to succeed in a changing environment. A company's actual direction is the sum of what it does and does not do, how well the organization is internally aligned to support the strategy, and how viable the strategy is when compared to external market, competitor, and financial realities. These two categories—the internal assessment and the external or environmental assessment—make up the major elements of a strategy audit.
Throughout this capstone course, you will work on a strategy audit for a selected organization. This will provide a summative learning experience that allows you to demonstrate your understanding of most of the MBA program learning outcomes and concepts in the various courses within the program. You will write this report as though you are a consultant to your selected company and are addressing the executive officers of this company. In each module, you will collect and analyze data in producing your report, but your final product will be condensed and focus on presenting your analysis findings and conclusions. You will submit two parts of a course project related to the strategy audit. You will submit these two parts in Modules 3 and 5.
Here is a list of tasks you will complete for your course project.
M1: Assignment 3—Market Position Analysis: You will assess the product portfolio of your selected organization by analyzing its value proposition, market position, and competitive advantage. You will identify the business unit of your company and the product(s) and service(s) you will focus on in this report. To gain a better understanding of these factors you will conduct at least one interview with a mid-level or senior manager.
M2: Assignment 2—External Environmental Scan: You will conduct a comprehensive external environment scan of your business unit along with a five forces analysis. Your analysis will incorporate any key customer-related factors and trends. You will use this information for a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis in Module 4.
M3: Assignment 2—LASA 1: Preliminary Strategy Audit: This is where you submit the first part of your course project assignment. You will develop a preliminary strategy audit, in which you will include an analysis of the company’s value proposition, market position, competitive advantage, and an external environmental scan/five forces analysis. You will also identify the 5–7 most important strategic issues facing the organization or business unit and include a preliminary set of recommended tactics for improving your company’s strategic align ...

Overview of LASAs
The strategy audit is a comprehensive analysis of the company’s business strategy and operating performance, and culminates in a series of recommendations for improving your company’s performance based on the findings and conclusions of your analysis. It involves assessing the actual direction of a business and comparing that course to the direction required to succeed in a changing environment. A company's actual direction is the sum of what it does and does not do, how well the organization is internally aligned to support the strategy, and how viable the strategy is when compared to external market, competitor, and financial realities. These two categories—the internal assessment and the external or environmental assessment—make up the major elements of a strategy audit.
Throughout this capstone course, you will work on a strategy audit for a selected organization. This will provide a summative learning experience that allows you to demonstrate your understanding of most of the MBA program learning outcomes and concepts in the various courses within the program. You will write this report as though you are a consultant to your selected company and are addressing the executive officers of this company. In each module, you will collect and analyze data in producing your report, but your final product will be condensed and focus on presenting your analysis findings and conclusions. You will submit two parts of a course project related to the strategy audit. You will submit these two parts in Modules 3 and 5.
Here is a list of tasks you will complete for your course project.
M1: Assignment 3—Market Position Analysis: You will assess the product portfolio of your selected organization by analyzing its value proposition, market position, and competitive advantage. You will identify the business unit of your company and the product(s) and service(s) you will focus on in this report. To gain a better understanding of these factors you will conduct at least one interview with a mid-level or senior manager.
M2: Assignment 2—External Environmental Scan: You will conduct a comprehensive external environment scan of your business unit along with a five forces analysis. Your analysis will incorporate any key customer-related factors and trends. You will use this information for a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis in Module 4.
M3: Assignment 2—LASA 1: Preliminary Strategy Audit: This is where you submit the first part of your course project assignment. You will develop a preliminary strategy audit, in which you will include an analysis of the company’s value proposition, market position, competitive advantage, and an external environmental scan/five forces analysis. You will also identify the 5–7 most important strategic issues facing the organization or business unit and include a preliminary set of recommended tactics for improving your company’s strategic align ...

MBA 599 – Strategic Management Case Project This capsto.docxwkyra78
MBA 599 – Strategic Management Case Project
This capstone course requires each student to construct a detailed and well-thought-out analysis of a
business employing all the relevant strategic analysis tools studied in the course. This project will take the
full term to complete. It is our sincere hope that you will find this project to be the most rewarding effort in
your educational career.
Project Overview
This course is designed to help you develop strategic skills that can be used in management. The
process of strategic planning is an iterative cycle of research and analysis, ending with a series of choices
about what will be attempted and how it will be approached. The most tangible output is the strategic
planning document. The most important output is the increased understanding that the participants
acquire. Accordingly, the assessment of the final project will be heavily dependent on the quality of the
strategic thinking inside that polished report. Students that focus on the expeditious completion of the
steps may find that they have shortchanged the important and time-consuming exploration and thinking
that is necessary to create a quality strategic case. Since not all tools can tell the planner which factors
and alternatives are important to consider, the planner should pull in as much diverse information and
perspectives as possible. Additionally, you should put yourselves in the competitor’s shoes and consider
how the “game” will play out. Your homework and subsequent improvements are intended to become a
primary basis for the exploration and questioning that drives your strategic understanding and creative
ideas. In addition, it is important to test your strategic thinking and your use of analytical tools in
preparation for your final project.
Tips for Selecting an Organization
As you select an organization for your class project, it is important that you select one that is interesting,
possibly useful to you in your career, industry, or interests, and allows you to explore strategic challenges
in a meaningful way. If you select the industry in which you currently work, you must address two critical
issues: (1) integrating and clearly citing existing information. (You will need to delineate work you’ve
contributed as opposed to pre-existing information), and (2) succinctly presenting existing information
while adding new insight, analysis, and plans that substantially add to strategy development,
implementation, and/or assessment of the organization. An organization or industry you are interested in
should give you better access to information although you need to pay careful attention to the points
made above.
Do not underestimate the degree to which you will need to be an expert in the selected industry and
related areas. It is impossible to create a strategy without understanding the terms, technologies, market
changes, and so forth in great depth. A.

MBA 705 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview AbramMartino96
MBA 705 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
For the capstone assessment, you will create a business implementation plan and audiovisual presentation for the product, service, or idea you have been
developing throughout your MBA coursework. You will be assessed through two artifacts. The first will be a business implementation plan, detailing the concept
and proposed implementation for potential investors or senior managers. The second artifact will be an audiovisual presentation designed to pitch the concept
(including implementation) to the same audience.
To effectively respond to the demands of a rapidly evolving business environment, today’s business managers need to possess a solid grounding in the theory,
best practices, and approaches that drive internal decision-making as well as the various external factors that can impact business choices. Perhaps no function
encompasses as many of these critical skills as ushering a new business idea, product, or service from initial conception to implementation. Throughout your
MBA coursework, you have been working to develop a business concept (product, service, or idea), considering the different elements that impact decision
making and creating a business plan for moving the concept forward successfully. As the final step in your journey toward your Master of Business Administration
degree, your capstone will bring all that work to the doorstep of implementation through the creation of a business implementation plan and an audiovisual
presentation designed to present the idea to potential investors or senior managers. You will integrate the knowledge and skills you have developed in previous
coursework and over the duration of the term with the goal of having a “ready to launch” project that you can present to an employer or potential financial
backer moving forward.
The capstone project is composed of two components. The first is a business implementation plan detailing your concept and its proposed implementation for
potential investors or senior managers. This plan should show potential supporters that you have done your homework and assure them that you have covered
all the details necessary to ensure that their money and/or time will be well invested. The second component, an audiovisual presentation (such as a webcam
recording or PowerPoint presentation with audio), will allow you to design and practice your “pitch.” In it, you will briefly present the key features of your
concept (including implementation) with an eye toward convincing busy business executives and potential investors to support your idea. Because many MBA
programs end with the creation of a business plan, your ability to take the next step in planning for implementation will give you an important advantage both in
gaining support for your project and in showcasing your ability to think through all phases of a project.

The Self Directed Learning Plan (SDLP) is a process for students in the MBA program to identify their professional goals and map out the skills and competencies needed to achieve those goals. The plan helps students leverage their strengths and develop areas for improvement. For each course, students outline what they expect to learn that will help them develop professionally, and then assess whether their expectations were met or if they gained additional insights. The sample SDLP provided is for a student named Amit Mathur, who aims to attain a management position in healthcare administration within 3-5 years. He identifies his strengths like analytical skills and areas for development like accounting skills. For a financial management course, he maps out specific learning goals and outcomes.

Overview
As the final stop in your journey toward your Master of Science in Applied Economics, you will complete a final project that will allow you to demonstrate the
knowledge and skills you have gained during your time at SNHU. Over the course of the term, you will immerse yourself in integrating what you have learned in
your coursework and practice to create an authentic demonstration of your abilities as an economist. The final project for this course is an analysis of a
contemporary economic issue relative to a business, policy, or topic of your choice based on your academic area of interest. For instance, general track students
might choose industrial policy, labor economics, international trade, macroeconomic policy, or regulatory economics. For those who are in the Environmental
and Natural Resources concentration, you must choose a topic relative to the field. This analysis will be followed by a presentation and professional reflection of
your journey through the Applied Economics program and how you plan to position yourself professionally. Completion of the analysis, presentation, and
professional reflection components will exemplify your professional identity and represent the skills and abilities you can bring to a potential employer.
This capstone will be assessed somewhat differently than other courses you have taken online at SNHU. There are three separate components that will be
submitted at different times during the course; however, they all operate together to make up the whole capstone experience and are not assessed separately.
You will be evaluated on all three elements as a unit in determining whether you have achieved proficiency in each outcome. All components must be completed
at the highest level, as the strengths of one cannot compensate for the weaknesses in another. Your instructor will guide you through this process, keeping a
running narrative of your strengths and weaknesses in relation to the outcomes as you progress through the class. Your work is expected to meet the highest
professional standards. Remember, you are selling yourself as much as you are selling your ideas.
In this assessment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following outcomes:
Communicate economic principles, problems, findings, and risk in effective verbal, written, visual, and graphical formats
Integrate appropriate economic theories and principles into the analysis of real-world organizational, social, and political issues
Design and execute sound research studies that effectively and appropriately incorporate quantitative data analysis, econometrics, and other key
economic tools and methods
Incorporate accuracy, precision, and ethical decision making into the analysis and reporting of economic data
Evaluate the impact of a wide variety of internal and external influences on personal, professional, and government.

Please response to these two original posts below. When

and explain why. Remember that we are after reasons

Are human lives intrinsically valuable? If so, in virtue of what? (Is
it our uniqueness, perhaps, or our autonomy, or something else?)
To begin, I would like to remind us that being intrinsically valuable
means having values for just being us and nothing else. I believe
that human lives are intrinsically valuable in virtue of our
uniqueness. As a bio nerd, I would like to state the fact that there
are a lot of crossover events during meiosis, which create trillions
of different DNA combinations. Hence, from a biological
standpoint, without considering other aspects, being you is
already valuable because you are that one sperm that won the
race and got fertilized. On a larger scale, there are hardly two
people whose look and behaviors are the same in the same
family, unless they are identical twins. However, identical twins
still act differently and have differences (such as fingerprints).
Since we are raised in different families, we are taught different
things and have different cultures. In general, we all have
different genetic information, appearances, personalities, senses
of humor, ambitions, talents, interests and life experiences. These
characteristics make up our “unique individual value” and make
us so unique and irreplaceable.
I would also love to discuss how our diversities enrich and
contribute to society, but that would be a talk about our extrinsic
values.
Original Post 2
Are human lives intrinsically valuable? If so, in virtue of what? (Is
it our uniqueness, perhaps, or our autonomy, or something else?)
I believe that human lives are intrinsically valuable due to a
number of reasons. Firstly, human lives aren’t replaceable. You
can’t replace a human being with another just like you can
replace a broken laptop with brand new one. Part of the reason
why we tend to think this way is that we were nurtured with the
notion that there is, indeed, a special value to human life. This
could be in virtue of our uniqueness-- the fact that we are
sentient and capable of complex thoughts and emotions
separates us from any other species on this planet. From a
scientific standpoint, this is also one of the reasons as to why
humans became the dominant species in today’s age.
Moreover, human lives aren’t disposable. I think this is largely due
to us humans having the ability to empathize with others. We
understand that it’s morally inappropriate to take the life of
another individual even if they’re complete strangers because
they’re another human being like us who has their own thoughts,
values, memories, and stories. In a way, we have a strong
emotional connection to our own species. As .
Part C Developing Your Design SolutionThe Production Cycle.docxsmile790243
Part C Developing Your Design
Solution
The Production Cycle
Within the four stages of the design workflow there are two distinct parts.
The first three stages, as presented in Part B of this book, were described
as ‘The Hidden Thinking’ stages, as they are concerned with undertaking
the crucial behind-the-scenes preparatory work. You may have completed
them in terms of working through the book’s contents, but in visualisation
projects they will continue to command your attention, even if that is
reduced to a background concern.
You have now reached the second distinct part of the workflow which
involves developing your design solution. This stage follows a production
cycle, commencing with rationalising design ideas and moving through to
the development of a final solution.
The term cycle is appropriate to describe this stage as there are many loops
of iteration as you evolve rapidly between conceptual, practical and
technical thinking. The inevitability of this iterative cycle is, in large part,
again due to the nature of this pursuit being more about optimisation rather
than an expectation of achieving that elusive notion of perfection. Trade-
offs, compromises, and restrictions are omnipresent as you juggle ambition
and necessary pragmatism.
How you undertake this stage will differ considerably depending on the
nature of your task. The creation of a relatively simple, single chart to be
slotted into a report probably will not require the same rigour of a formal
production cycle that the development of a vast interactive visualisation to
be used by the public would demand. This is merely an outline of the most
you will need to do – you should edit, adapt and participate the steps to fit
with your context.
There are several discrete steps involved in this production cycle:
Conceiving ideas across the five layers of visualisation design.
Wireframing and storyboarding designs.
Developing prototypes or mock-up versions.
219
Testing.
Refining and completing.
Launching the solution.
Naturally, the specific approach for developing your design solution (from
prototyping through to launching) will vary hugely, depending particularly
on your skills and resources: it might be an Excel chart, or a Tableau
dashboard, an infographic created using Adobe Illustrator, or a web-based
interactive built with the D3.js library. As I have explained in the book’s
introduction, I’m not going to attempt to cover the myriad ways of
implementing a solution; that would be impossible to achieve as each task
and tool would require different instructions.
For the scope of this book, I am focusing on taking you through the first
two steps of this cycle – conceiving ideas and wireframing/storyboarding.
There are parallels here with the distinctions between architecture (design)
and engineering (execution) – I’m effectively chaperoning you through to
the conclusion of your design thinking.
To fulfil this, Part C presents a detailed breakdown of the many design

Part 4. Implications to Nursing Practice & Implication to Patient Outcomes
Provide a paragraph summary addressing the topics implications to nursing practice and patient outcomes. This section is NOT another review of the literature or introduction of new topics related to the PICOT question.
You may find if helpful to begin each topic with -
Nurses need to know …
Important patient outcomes include …
Example
– please note this is an older previous students work and so some references are older than 5 years.
Be sure to provide the PICOT question to begin this post.
PICOT Question:
P=Patient Population
I=Intervention
C=Comparison
O=Outcome
T=Time (duration):
In patients in the hospital, (P)
how does frequently provided patient hand washing (I)
compared with patient initiated hand washing (C)
affect hospital acquired infection (O)
within the hospital stay (T)
Implications to Nursing Practice & Patient Outcomes
Nurses need to know that they play a significant role in the reduction of hospital acquired infection by ensuring by health care workers and patients wash hands since nurses have the most interactions with patients. Implementing hand hygiene protocol with patients can enhance awareness and decrease healthcare associated infection (HAI). Both nurses and patients need to know that HAI is associated with increased morbidity and mortality as well cost of treatment and length of hospital stay. Nurses and patients also need to know that most HAI is preventable. Gujral (2015) notes that proper hand hygiene is the single most important, simplest, and least expensive means of reducing prevalence of HAI and the spread of antimicrobial resistance. Nurse and patient hand washing plays a vital role in decreasing healthcare costs and infections in all settings.

PART A
Hepatitis C is a chronic liver infection that can be either silent (with no noticeable symptoms) or debilitating. Either way, 80% of infected persons experience continuing liver destruction. Chronic hepatitis C infection is the leading cause of liver transplants in the United States. The virus that causes it is blood borne, and therefore patients who undergo frequent procedures involving transfer of blood are particularly susceptible to infection. Kidney dialysis patients belong to this group. In 2008, a for-profit hemodialysis facility in New York was shut down after nine of its patients were confirmed as having become infected with hepatitis C while undergoing hemodialysis treatments there between 2001 and 2008.
When the investigation was conducted in 2008, investigators found that 20 of the facility’s 162 patients had been documented with hepatitis C infection at the time they began their association with the clinic. All the current patients were then offered hepatitis C testing, to determine how many had acquired hepatitis C during the time they were receiving treatment at the clinic. They were considered positive if enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests showed the presence of antibodies to the hepatitis C virus.
Health officials did not test the workers at the hemodialysis facility for hepatitis C because they did not view them as likely sources of the nine new infections. Why not?
Why do you think patients were tested for antibody to the virus instead of for the presence of the virus itself?

respectfully disagree and explain why. Remember that we are after reasons
and arguments, and not simply the statement of opinions.
Original Post 1
"What is moral relativism? Why might people be attracted to it? Is
it plausible?"
First of all, moral relativism is the view that moral truths are
subjective and depend on each individual's standpoints. Based
on this, everyone's moral view is legitimate. This can be attracted
because it sounds liberating and there is no need to argue for a
particular position. Moral relativism seems convincing in some
cases. For example, some people are okay with giving money to
homeless people, thinking that it's good to provide for the people
in need. Some people, on the other hand, claim that they can
work to satisfy their own needs. Moral relativism works well in
these cases because they all seem legitimate. However, there are
cases that moral relativism does not seem reasonable. For
example, child sacrifice in some cultures seems cruel and
uncivilized to most people. Hence, moral relativism is not
absolutely true.
Original Post 2
“Is your death bad for you, specifically, or only (at most) for others? Why
might someone claim that it isn’t bad for you?”
I'd start off by acknowledging what the two ancient philosophers,
Lucretius and Epicurus, outlined about death. They made the
point that death isn't necessarily bad for you since no suffering
takes place and that you yourself don't realize your own death. In
this way, one could make the claim that death isn't intrinsically
bad for you.
Another perspective I wanted to add was the influence of death
(both on you and others around you). Specifically, the event of
death itself may not be bad for you, but the idea of impending
death could impact one's life. Some may live freely, totally care-
free, accepting of death and enjoy life in the moment. Others may
be frightened by the idea of death that they live in constant fear
and hence death causing their mental health to take its toll. In
this way, I'd argue that death could, in fact, be bad for you. One
common reason for being afraid of death is the fear of being
forgotten. Not to mention the death of an individual certainly
affects others; death doesn't affect one's life but also all that is
connected to it. Focusing back to the point, it's clear that the
very idea of death directly affects the concerned individual. The
fact that those who live in fear of death are looking for legacies
and footprints to leave after they leave this world is telling of how
death could be arguably bad for you before it even happens.

MBA 599 – Strategic Management Case Project
This capstone course requires each student to construct a detailed and well-thought-out analysis of a
business employing all the relevant strategic analysis tools studied in the course. This project will take the
full term to complete. It is our sincere hope that you will find this project to be the most rewarding effort in
your educational career.
Project Overview
This course is designed to help you develop strategic skills that can be used in management. The
process of strategic planning is an iterative cycle of research and analysis, ending with a series of choices
about what will be attempted and how it will be approached. The most tangible output is the strategic
planning document. The most important output is the increased understanding that the participants
acquire. Accordingly, the assessment of the final project will be heavily dependent on the quality of the
strategic thinking inside that polished report. Students that focus on the expeditious completion of the
steps may find that they have shortchanged the important and time-consuming exploration and thinking
that is necessary to create a quality strategic case. Since not all tools can tell the planner which factors
and alternatives are important to consider, the planner should pull in as much diverse information and
perspectives as possible. Additionally, you should put yourselves in the competitor’s shoes and consider
how the “game” will play out. Your homework and subsequent improvements are intended to become a
primary basis for the exploration and questioning that drives your strategic understanding and creative
ideas. In addition, it is important to test your strategic thinking and your use of analytical tools in
preparation for your final project.
Tips for Selecting an Organization
As you select an organization for your class project, it is important that you select one that is interesting,
possibly useful to you in your career, industry, or interests, and allows you to explore strategic challenges
in a meaningful way. If you select the industry in which you currently work, you must address two critical
issues: (1) integrating and clearly citing existing information. (You will need to delineate work you’ve
contributed as opposed to pre-existing information), and (2) succinctly presenting existing information
while adding new insight, analysis, and plans that substantially add to strategy development,
implementation, and/or assessment of the organization. An organization or industry you are interested in
should give you better access to information although you need to pay careful attention to the points
made above.
Do not underestimate the degree to which you will need to be an expert in the selected industry and
related areas. It is impossible to create a strategy without understanding the terms, technologies, market
changes, and so forth in great depth. A.

MBA 705 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview AbramMartino96
MBA 705 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
For the capstone assessment, you will create a business implementation plan and audiovisual presentation for the product, service, or idea you have been
developing throughout your MBA coursework. You will be assessed through two artifacts. The first will be a business implementation plan, detailing the concept
and proposed implementation for potential investors or senior managers. The second artifact will be an audiovisual presentation designed to pitch the concept
(including implementation) to the same audience.
To effectively respond to the demands of a rapidly evolving business environment, today’s business managers need to possess a solid grounding in the theory,
best practices, and approaches that drive internal decision-making as well as the various external factors that can impact business choices. Perhaps no function
encompasses as many of these critical skills as ushering a new business idea, product, or service from initial conception to implementation. Throughout your
MBA coursework, you have been working to develop a business concept (product, service, or idea), considering the different elements that impact decision
making and creating a business plan for moving the concept forward successfully. As the final step in your journey toward your Master of Business Administration
degree, your capstone will bring all that work to the doorstep of implementation through the creation of a business implementation plan and an audiovisual
presentation designed to present the idea to potential investors or senior managers. You will integrate the knowledge and skills you have developed in previous
coursework and over the duration of the term with the goal of having a “ready to launch” project that you can present to an employer or potential financial
backer moving forward.
The capstone project is composed of two components. The first is a business implementation plan detailing your concept and its proposed implementation for
potential investors or senior managers. This plan should show potential supporters that you have done your homework and assure them that you have covered
all the details necessary to ensure that their money and/or time will be well invested. The second component, an audiovisual presentation (such as a webcam
recording or PowerPoint presentation with audio), will allow you to design and practice your “pitch.” In it, you will briefly present the key features of your
concept (including implementation) with an eye toward convincing busy business executives and potential investors to support your idea. Because many MBA
programs end with the creation of a business plan, your ability to take the next step in planning for implementation will give you an important advantage both in
gaining support for your project and in showcasing your ability to think through all phases of a project.

The strategy audit is a comprehensive analysis of the company’s business strategy and operating performance, and culminates in a series of recommendations for improving your company’s performance based on the findings and conclusions of your analysis. It involves assessing the actual direction of a business and comparing that course to the direction required to succeed in a changing environment. A company's actual direction is the sum of what it does and does not do, how well the organization is internally aligned to support the strategy, and how viable the strategy is when compared to external market, competitor, and financial realities. These two categories—the internal assessment and the external or environmental assessment—make up the major elements of a strategy audit.
Throughout this capstone course, you will work on a strategy audit for a selected organization. This will provide a summative learning experience that allows you to demonstrate your understanding of most of the MBA program learning outcomes and concepts in the various courses within the program. You will write this report as though you are a consultant to your selected company and are addressing the executive officers of this company. In each module, you will collect and analyze data in producing your report, but your final product will be condensed and focus on presenting your analysis findings and conclusions. You will submit two parts of a course project related to the strategy audit. You will submit these two parts in Modules 3 and 5.
Here is a list of tasks you will complete for your course project.
M1: Assignment 3—Market Position Analysis: You will assess the product portfolio of your selected organization by analyzing its value proposition, market position, and competitive advantage. You will identify the business unit of your company and the product(s) and service(s) you will focus on in this report. To gain a better understanding of these factors you will conduct at least one interview with a mid-level or senior manager.
M2: Assignment 2—External Environmental Scan: You will conduct a comprehensive external environment scan of your business unit along with a five forces analysis. Your analysis will incorporate any key customer-related factors and trends. You will use this information for a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis in Module 4.
M3: Assignment 2—LASA 1: Preliminary Strategy Audit: This is where you submit the first part of your course project assignment. You will develop a preliminary strategy audit, in which you will include an analysis of the company’s value proposition, market position, competitive advantage, and an external environmental scan/five forces analysis. You will also identify the 5–7 most important strategic issues facing the organization or business unit and include a preliminary set of recommended tactics for improving your company’s strategic align ...
The Self Directed Learning Plan (SDLP) is a process for students in the MBA program to identify their professional goals and map out the skills and competencies needed to achieve those goals.

Overview
As the final stop in your journey toward your Master of Science in Applied Economics, you will complete a final project that will allow you to demonstrate the
knowledge and skills you have gained during your time at SNHU. Over the course of the term, you will immerse yourself in integrating what you have learned in
your coursework and practice to create an authentic demonstration of your abilities as an economist. The final project for this course is an analysis of a
contemporary economic issue relative to a business, policy, or topic of your choice based on your academic area of interest. For instance, general track students
might choose industrial policy, labor economics, international trade, macroeconomic policy, or regulatory economics. For those who are in the Environmental
and Natural Resources concentration, you must choose a topic relative to the field. This analysis will be followed by a presentation and professional reflection of
your journey through the Applied Economics program and how you plan to position yourself professionally. Completion of the analysis, presentation, and
professional reflection components will exemplify your professional identity and represent the skills and abilities you can bring to a potential employer.
This capstone will be assessed somewhat differently than other courses you have taken online at SNHU. There are three separate components that will be
submitted at different times during the course; however, they all operate together to make up the whole capstone experience and are not assessed separately.
You will be evaluated on all three elements as a unit in determining whether you have achieved proficiency in each outcome. All components must be completed
at the highest level, as the strengths of one cannot compensate for the weaknesses in another. Your instructor will guide you through this process, keeping a
running narrative of your strengths and weaknesses in relation to the outcomes as you progress through the class. Your work is expected to meet the highest
professional standards. Remember, you are selling yourself as much as you are selling your ideas.
In this assessment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following outcomes:
Communicate economic principles, problems, findings, and risk in effective verbal, written, visual, and graphical formats
Integrate appropriate economic theories and principles into the analysis of real-world organizational, social, and political issues
Design and execute sound research studies that effectively and appropriately incorporate quantitative data analysis, econometrics, and other key
economic tools and methods
Incorporate accuracy, precision, and ethical decision making into the analysis and reporting of economic data
Evaluate the impact of a wide variety of internal and external influences on personal, professional, and government.

programs end with the creation of a business plan, your ability to take the next step in planning for implementation will give you an important advantage both in
gaining support for your project and in showcasing your ability to think through all phases of a project.
Evaluation of Capstone
This capstone will be assessed somewhat .
This unit focuses on developing work priorities by planning work schedules, monitoring performance, and coordinating professional development. Key areas covered include planning and completing your own work schedule, monitoring work performance, and coordinating professional development. Objectives include preparing work plans, scheduling tasks to support goals, seeking feedback, reviewing performance through self-assessment, accessing learning opportunities, and using technology for self-development. Developing effective work schedules requires understanding how individual, team, and organizational plans interconnect and affect one another. It is also important to consider factors that could hinder completing tasks and achieving objectives when creating work schedules and contingency plans.
A1 Experiential Learning Project Apply the Design Thinking App.docxdaniahendric
A1: Experiential Learning Project:
Apply the Design Thinking Approach to the creation of a new service and prepare a presentation of the entire process.
The presentation should include all the following major steps of Design Thinking Approach:
a) Understand. Referring to available sources (own experience, outside experts …) research the status quo on
the concept you would like to develop
b) Observe: conduct an ethnographic research by firsthand observation of potential users
c) Ideate: create as many ideas as possible (use techniques as brainstorming). Select the most promising idea
d) Prototype: translate the idea into a simple representation of the app
e) Test: the model with target users. Interact with them. Observe their reactions and behavior and collect
feed-backs to refine the concept
f) The work should also include the marketing plan of the new service.
Outcome requirements:
The slide/visual presentation (format can be selected by the team) will contain the steps in the agenda
mentioned above and it will present the service concept. A visual representation of the service is mandatory.
The Experiential Learning Project will be scored across four (4) attributes based on:
a) Applying the Design Thinking Model. For this first score, the instructor will assess the extent to which
students are able to apply the model into a simulated-real life situation
b) Transforming observations and data into usable information. For this second score, the instructor will
evaluate the extent to which students were able to organize information collected on field analysis in a
presentable fashion (i.e., table, figures, videos …)
c) Creativity: For the third score, the instructor will assess the extent to which students are able to apply
creativity in a new service development and into the presentation itself
d) Original Results: For the fourth score, the instructor will assess the extent to which students are able to
apply the innovation drivers to their project

Are human lives intrinsically valuable? If so, in virtue of what? (Is
it our uniqueness, perhaps, or our autonomy, or something else?)
To begin, I would like to remind us that being intrinsically valuable
means having values for just being us and nothing else. I believe
that human lives are intrinsically valuable in virtue of our
uniqueness. As a bio nerd, I would like to state the fact that there
are a lot of crossover events during meiosis, which create trillions
of different DNA combinations. Hence, from a biological
standpoint, without considering other aspects, being you is
already valuable because you are that one sperm that won the
race and got fertilized. On a larger scale, there are hardly two
people whose look and behaviors are the same in the same
family, unless they are identical twins. However, identical twins
still act differently and have differences (such as fingerprints).
Since we are raised in different families, we are taught different
things and have different cultures. In general, we all have
different genetic information, appearances, personalities, senses
of humor, ambitions, talents, interests and life experiences. These
characteristics make up our “unique individual value” and make
us so unique and irreplaceable.
I would also love to discuss how our diversities enrich and
contribute to society, but that would be a talk about our extrinsic
values.

Are human lives intrinsically valuable? If so, in virtue of what? (Is
it our uniqueness, perhaps, or our autonomy, or something else?)
I believe that human lives are intrinsically valuable due to a
number of reasons. Firstly, human lives aren’t replaceable. You
can’t replace a human being with another just like you can
replace a broken laptop with brand new one. Part of the reason
why we tend to think this way is that we were nurtured with the
notion that there is, indeed, a special value to human life. This
could be in virtue of our uniqueness-- the fact that we are
sentient and capable of complex thoughts and emotions
separates us from any other species on this planet. From a
scientific standpoint, this is also one of the reasons as to why
humans became the dominant species in today’s age.
Moreover, human lives aren’t disposable. I think this is largely due
to us humans having the ability to empathize with others. We
understand that it’s morally inappropriate to take the life of
another individual even if they’re complete strangers because
they’re another human being like us who has their own thoughts,
values, memories, and stories. In a way, we have a strong
emotional connection to our own species. As .
Part C Developing Your Design SolutionThe Production Cycle.docxsmile790243
Part C Developing Your Design
Solution
The Production Cycle
Within the four stages of the design workflow there are two distinct parts.
The first three stages, as presented in Part B of this book, were described
as ‘The Hidden Thinking’ stages, as they are concerned with undertaking
the crucial behind-the-scenes preparatory work. You may have completed
them in terms of working through the book’s contents, but in visualisation
projects they will continue to command your attention, even if that is
reduced to a background concern.
You have now reached the second distinct part of the workflow which
involves developing your design solution. This stage follows a production
cycle, commencing with rationalising design ideas and moving through to
the development of a final solution.
The term cycle is appropriate to describe this stage as there are many loops
of iteration as you evolve rapidly between conceptual, practical and
technical thinking. The inevitability of this iterative cycle is, in large part,
again due to the nature of this pursuit being more about optimisation rather
than an expectation of achieving that elusive notion of perfection. Trade-
offs, compromises, and restrictions are omnipresent as you juggle ambition
and necessary pragmatism.
How you undertake this stage will differ considerably depending on the
nature of your task. The creation of a relatively simple, single chart to be
slotted into a report probably will not require the same rigour of a formal
production cycle that the development of a vast interactive visualisation to
be used by the public would demand. This is merely an outline of the most
you will need to do – you should edit, adapt and participate the steps to fit
with your context.
There are several discrete steps involved in this production cycle:
Conceiving ideas across the five layers of visualisation design.
Wireframing and storyboarding designs.
Developing prototypes or mock-up versions.
219
Testing.
Refining and completing.
Launching the solution.
Naturally, the specific approach for developing your design solution (from
prototyping through to launching) will vary hugely, depending particularly
on your skills and resources: it might be an Excel chart, or a Tableau
dashboard, an infographic created using Adobe Illustrator, or a web-based
interactive built with the D3.js library. As I have explained in the book’s
introduction, I’m not going to attempt to cover the myriad ways of
implementing a solution; that would be impossible to achieve as each task
and tool would require different instructions.
For the scope of this book, I am focusing on taking you through the first
two steps of this cycle – conceiving ideas and wireframing/storyboarding.
There are parallels here with the distinctions between architecture (design)
and engineering (execution) – I’m effectively chaperoning you through to
the conclusion of your design thinking.
To fulfil this, Part C presents a detailed breakdown of the many design

You may find if helpful to begin each topic with -
Nurses need to know …

T=Time (duration):
In patients in the hospital, (P)
how does frequently provided patient hand washing (I)
compared with patient initiated hand washing (C)
affect hospital acquired infection (O)
within the hospital stay (T)
Implications to Nursing Practice & Patient Outcomes
Nurses need to know that they play a significant role in the reduction of hospital acquired infection by ensuring by health care workers and patients wash hands since nurses have the most interactions with patients. Implementing hand hygiene protocol with patients can enhance awareness and decrease healthcare associated infection (HAI). Both nurses and patients need to know that HAI is associated with increased morbidity and mortality as well cost of treatment and length of hospital stay. Nurses and patients also need to know that most HAI is preventable. Gujral (2015) notes that proper hand hygiene is the single most important, simplest, and least expensive means of reducing prevalence of HAI and the spread of antimicrobial resistance. Nurse and patient hand washing plays a vital role in decreasing healthcare costs and infections in all settings.

PART AHepatitis C is a chronic liver infection that can be e.docxsmile790243
PART A
Hepatitis C is a chronic liver infection that can be either silent (with no noticeable symptoms) or debilitating. Either way, 80% of infected persons experience continuing liver destruction. Chronic hepatitis C infection is the leading cause of liver transplants in the United States. The virus that causes it is blood borne, and therefore patients who undergo frequent procedures involving transfer of blood are particularly susceptible to infection. Kidney dialysis patients belong to this group. In 2008, a for-profit hemodialysis facility in New York was shut down after nine of its patients were confirmed as having become infected with hepatitis C while undergoing hemodialysis treatments there between 2001 and 2008.
When the investigation was conducted in 2008, investigators found that 20 of the facility’s 162 patients had been documented with hepatitis C infection at the time they began their association with the clinic. All the current patients were then offered hepatitis C testing, to determine how many had acquired hepatitis C during the time they were receiving treatment at the clinic. They were considered positive if enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests showed the presence of antibodies to the hepatitis C virus.
Health officials did not test the workers at the hemodialysis facility for hepatitis C because they did not view them as likely sources of the nine new infections. Why not?
Why do you think patients were tested for antibody to the virus instead of for the presence of the virus itself?

"What is moral relativism? Why might people be attracted to it? Is
it plausible?"
First of all, moral relativism is the view that moral truths are
subjective and depend on each individual's standpoints. Based
on this, everyone's moral view is legitimate. This can be attracted
because it sounds liberating and there is no need to argue for a
particular position. Moral relativism seems convincing in some
cases. For example, some people are okay with giving money to
homeless people, thinking that it's good to provide for the people
in need. Some people, on the other hand, claim that they can
work to satisfy their own needs. Moral relativism works well in
these cases because they all seem legitimate. However, there are
cases that moral relativism does not seem reasonable. For
example, child sacrifice in some cultures seems cruel and
uncivilized to most people. Hence, moral relativism is not
absolutely true.

“Is your death bad for you, specifically, or only (at most) for others? Why
might someone claim that it isn’t bad for you?”
I'd start off by acknowledging what the two ancient philosophers,
Lucretius and Epicurus, outlined about death. They made the
point that death isn't necessarily bad for you since no suffering
takes place and that you yourself don't realize your own death. In
this way, one could make the claim that death isn't intrinsically
bad for you.
Another perspective I wanted to add was the influence of death
(both on you and others around you). Specifically, the event of
death itself may not be bad for you, but the idea of impending
death could impact one's life. Some may live freely, totally care-
free, accepting of death and enjoy life in the moment. Others may
be frightened by the idea of death that they live in constant fear
and hence death causing their mental health to take its toll. In
this way, I'd argue that death could, in fact, be bad for you. One
common reason for being afraid of death is the fear of being
forgotten. Not to mention the death of an individual certainly
affects others; death doesn't affect one's life but also all that is
connected to it. Focusing back to the point, it's clear that the
very idea of death directly affects the concerned individual. The
fact that those who live in fear of death are looking for legacies
and footprints to leave after they leave this world is telling of how
death could be arguably bad for you before it even happens.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

---------------------------------------------------------
A.Your Co-operative Education Role: being knowledgeable in
your major field(s) of study by demonstrating the application of
knowledge from your major(s) to your Co-operative Education
Placement
The aim of Section A is as follows:
To introduce the reader to your placement organisation as
well as the specific role you will have
To examine how the role and tasks you will be doing
might draw on theory and concepts covered in your major
To explore how you personally, and your role, might add
value to the organisation.
In this Learning Plan you will explain how your in-depth
3. knowledge from your major(s) might apply to your tasks and
discuss the value of your role.
You are required to address all of the points below and attach a
copy of your job description as Appendix 1.
You may include further comments or discussion that is
relevant.
You must integrate relevant concepts, models, frameworks,
theories and/or technical competencies (use in text references)
to support your discussion.
THE TASK:
1. Provide a brief overview of
your Co-operative Education Placement Organisation
your role
My placement will be at Almajdouie Holding Group. This is a
Saudi Company that was established in 1965 as a land-
transport company. It then became a group of companies
offering a variety of services in different industries, including
automotive and other manufacturing, education, logistics, real
estate and investment. They are the official dealer of Hyundai
motors in the eastern and northern regions of Saudi Arabia. I
will be working at the Hyundai showroom in Dammam in the
sales and marketing department. My role will be as an
accounts receivable clerk, and there will be 17 people working
with me in the same department (Al-Majdouie Group, n.d.).
2. Linking knowledge from your major to your tasks: For
each key task that relates to your major(s) outlined in your job
description (attach – Appendix 1), identify and discuss how a
range of theories, concepts, models, frameworks and/or
technical competencies from your major(s) might apply.
Accounts receivable is part of the billing process, which is one
of the main activities of the revenue cycle. The revenue cycle is
defined as "a recruiting set of business activities and related
information processing operations associated with providing
goods and services to customers and collecting cash in payment
4. for those sales” (Sinclair, 2013, p. 333).
As an accounts receivable clerk, my role will be to use the
information on the invoice to debit the customer accounts and
then to credit the accounts when we receive the payment. There
are two methods to control the accounts receivable: the open-
invoice method and the balance-forward method. The open-
invoice method is when a customer receives the goods with the
invoice attached and pays for it immediately, either by
returning money with the invoice or by an online payment. By
contrast, in the balance-forward method, the customer receives
a monthly statement that contains the outstanding balance
(Sinclair, 2013).
Usually, medium- and large-sized companies use the balance-
forward method because they deal with many customers and
suppliers, and this method makes the billing process more
efficient as it is not necessary to check individual invoices. The
open-invoice method has both advantages and disadvantages.
One of its advantages is that it encourages customers to pay the
outstanding balance faster by offering a discount if they pay
within a certain period, and this benefits the company by
maintaining a regular cash flow. However, this method can have
complications associated with reviewing individual invoices for
each customer (Sinclair, 2013).
3. Discuss the value that your role and personal
attributes may bring to your Organisation.
My role at the organisation is as an accounts receivable clerk.
Therefore, part of my role is to maintain reliable and accurate
accounting records and to produce reports to the A/R
supervisor. As a result, it is important to be a very reliable
employee, maintaining honesty and punctuality in delivering the
information. My role also involves providing advice on
accounting issues to division heads and staff, as required. Thus,
I should be creative and open-minded and keen to help and take
tasks without being asked. Another aspect of my role is to take
part in the preparations of the annual budget and to generate a
cash flow forecast against budget projections to assist in
5. decision making. Therefore, I need to be a friendly, culturally
aware team player who is confident and aware of the
surrounding environment so that I can communicate with my
team. The organisation requires me to be excellent in computer
skills, such as MS Office; therefore, I have taking an Excel
diploma in order to save time while working on tasks and to
help others if needed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------
A.Your Professional Identity: communicate effectively in
professional settings, working effectively with others including
intercultural perspectives
The aim of Section B is as follows:
To develop an understanding of your personal qualities
through completion of a series of self-assessment tools
To propose two SMART goals for self-development
during your work placement
To strategise how these two goals might be developed
during the placement
In this section you will develop TWO goals for your
professional development to work on during your
placement. These will relate to
1. working effectively with others to make constructive
contributions
2. working with one’s own and other cultures and diverse
perspectives in professional settings
These goals will relate to either further developing a strength
and/or addressing a weakness. Your goals should relate to the
development of generic professional skills or capabilities in the
two areas above that could be transferred to other roles and
workplaces in the future.
Your goals should not relate to job-specific technical skills. If
you are in a permanent role you may choose different aspects
particular to your work situation and career development
(discuss with your Workshop Supervisor).
6. THE TASK: PREPARATION
In order to prepare for this, you must:
1. Complete Jung’s personality test identify and discuss your
personality type and the implications for you and your role as a
professional.
My personality type is ESTP (The Doer) according to the
personality test we’ve done in class
2. Complete your personal SWOT analysis below: (for further
information refer to the materials on Blackboard and the
Workshop handouts)
S:
1: Full of vitality, intelligent and liked by everyone.
2: Excellent and very creative in dealing with emergency
situations.
3: Excellent at remembering details.
4: Good ability to detect problems and find quick solutions.
W:
1: Good in the management of financial matters but take risks
from time to time.
2: Difficulty in planning for the future.
3: Sometimes ignore the problem instead of fixing it.
4: Get bored very quickly.
O:
1: Able to read what people want by noticing their behaviours; I
can guarantee customer satisfaction because I will know what
customers want and so save them time and money.
2: High ability to recall the precise details of my surroundings
at any moment; therefore, when attending meetings with my
supervisor or working with a team, I can remind them of the
small details that they may have forgotten.
7. T:
1: When things become difficult, I may not want to continue to
work on something that requires commitment; therefore, I may
fail in my mission.
2: May become obsessed with competition and achieve
victories; hence, I may forget about my family and myself.
SWOT analysis reference: (Samson, Catley, Cathro, & Daft,
2012)
My personality information from ("ESTP Personality Types In-
Depth," 2017)
THE TASK: GOAL ONE
Goal ONE: Working productively with others to make
constructive contributions
1. Clearly identify one specific aspect relating to the area
above (for further information please refer to materials on
Blackboard and Workshop handout) and comment on why this
particular aspect is significant in developing your ability to
work effectively with others to make constructive contributions
I am very much aiming to develop a range of professional skills,
particularly in building effective working relationships. This is
because I will be working in many teams during my placement
(there are more than 10 people in the department that I will be
working in). Therefore, it is essential to know my team
members, respect them and listen to their points of view rather
than being selfish in my decisions.
8. 2. Discuss your strength and/or weakness in this specific
aspect.
One of my strengths is that I have worked in many teams,
especially during my studies at university. For example, I
worked in teams during group assignments; in almost every
semester, I had one, two or sometimes three group assignments.
Most of the time, I took the leadership role in the group because
achieving the highest mark was always my aim. I also
participated for a year as a financial manager at the SAUDI
student club in Palmerston North. I would provide and interpret
financial information to the executive members, conducting
reviews and evaluations for cost-reduction opportunities. I also
made accurate quarterly financial reports using Excel for the
Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission in New Zealand. Moreover,
because I was an executive member, I was responsible, along
with the other members, for organizing some of the events run
by the club (ESTP Personality Types In-Depth, 2017).
However, I sometimes encountered difficulties in dealing with
the other members. For example, some people disagree with you
for the sake of making you wrong and showing that they are
correct. Such people cling to their opinion regardless of its
validity. I also sometimes encountered lazy members who relied
on others to do the job, which I genuinely disliked (ESTP
Personality Types In-Depth, 2017).
3. Set out your goal in this aspect, in a statement that meets
the SMART criteria and commences: “By the end of my Co-
operative Education Placement, I will …..”
During my Co-Operative Education Placement, my goal is to
continue to work in teams in order to achieve the optimal results
for my organization. Although I will face many challenges in
my new role, by the end of the internship period I will need to
prove my abilities in coping with others.
4. Research some models or frameworks and draw on these as
a guide to outline a plan including specific actions that you will
put in place to achieve your goal. (You must ensure that the
9. specific actions planned are practical and draw on authoritative
sources using in-text references)
Professional communication theory is an important method for
achieving my goals in the organisation. Communicating with the
team members is an important tool for ensuring that the team
achieves the company's goals effectively. The most important
part of communication is confirming the members’ clear
understanding of the common goals of the company. We need to
develop an effective action plan with all the team members in
order to facilitate the success of the tasks. We should not allow
conflicts of interest; the company's goals and objectives come
first (Mohan, McGregor, Saunders, & Archee, 2008).
5. What evidence and/or measurements might you use to
demonstrate that you have achieved your goal?
I will discuss my learning plan with my supervisor at work and
show him my SWOT analysis results, and I will ask him to
monitor my performance by giving me feedback at the end of
each week or at the end of each task.
THE TASK: GOAL TWO
Goal TWO: Work with one’s own and other cultures and diverse
perspectives in professional settings
1. Clearly identify one specific aspect relating to the area
above (for further information please refer to materials on
Blackboard and Workshop handout) and comment on why this
particular aspect is significant in working with one’s own and
other cultures and diverse perspectives
Because I will be working with a group and exchanging
information with my supervisor, it is important for me to
develop my listening skills. Developing my listening skills will
help me to be very efficient at work; if my listening skills
improve, my understanding of the tasks I am given will be
clearer.
2. Discuss your strength and/or weakness in this specific
10. aspect.
A weakness of my personality is that I get bored very quickly,
and listening for long hours to my supervisor or any of the team
members may not be enjoyable. If I do not overcome this, it
could become a serious issue; if I neglect this matter, I may end
up doing my tasks incorrectly, which would displease my
supervisor (ESTP Personality Types In-Depth, 2017).
3. Set out your goal in this aspect, in a statement that meets
the SMART criteria and commences: “By the end of my Co-
operative Education Placement, I will …..”
During my Co-Operative Education Placement, my goal is to
continue to work on improving my listening skills in order to
achieve the desired results for my organization. Although I will
face many challenges in my new role, I can show my supervisor
and the people I am working with that I can improve my
listening skills by the end of the internship period.
4. Research some models or frameworks and draw on these as
a guide to outline a plan including specific actions that you will
put in place to achieve your goal. (You must ensure that the
specific actions planned are practical and draw on authoritative
sources using in-text references)
In developing my listening and communication skills, I need to
follow procedures such as the following:
1: Sit in a quiet place.
2: Look attentively at the speaker.
3: Avoid all distractions that can make you busy and prevent
you listening to others, such as my phone.
4: After a long conversation, write my questions in a note and
ask the speaker to clarify the points that I did not understand
(Brownell, 2016).
5. What evidence and/or measurements might you use to
demonstrate that you have achieved your goal?
I will discuss my learning plan with my supervisor at work and
show him my SWOT analysis results. I will ask him to monitor
11. my performance by giving me feedback at the end of each week
or at the end of each task. In addition, compliments from my
colleagues could be a sign of success.

----------------------------------------------------
A.Your Co-operative Education Placement Organisation and the
environment it operates in: being critical enquirers and creative
problem solvers, being able to make business decisions that take
into account social, ethical, environmental and global
dimensions and being engaged with business
The aim of Section C is as follows:
To start compiling a resource of current events and issues
relevant to your industry and organisation during your
placement period (for use in portfolios)
To demonstrate knowledge of factors impacting in and on
your organisation
To critically examine the relevant impact of such factors
on business operations
During your Placement you will need to keep a log of current
events and issues from media sources that are relevant to your
Industry and Organisation to use in your Portfolios. A template
for your log is attached to each of your Portfolios.
You are required to address all of the points below. You may
include further comments or discussion that is relevant. You
must integrate relevant concepts, models, frameworks, theories
and/or technical competencies (use in text references)
from secondary research and other business disciplines you have
studied e.g. Management, to support your discussion.
THE TASK:
1. Include a copy of, or produce, an organisational chart of
your organisation, showing your role and briefly discuss where
your role fits in the organisation. Drawing on relevant
management theory, comment on the advantages and
disadvantages of the structure of your organisation.
My role will be in the Almajdouie Automotive department, in
12. the Motor Sales and Marketing section.
Almajdouie Holding Group implements a divisional structure,
with six different divisions (Samson, Catley, Cathro, & Daft,
2012). A divisional structure is an organisational structure that
is based on related departments that have a similar output.
There are several reasons why a divisional structure is one of
the main structures that large enterprises use:
1: It has flexibility and clarity.
2: It leads to speed in decision-making processes.
3: It establishes the concept of decentralisation, which means
that each level of managers has considerable autonomy over
their expenses, according to their budget.
4: It leads to customer satisfaction because customers deal with
one department, which means that coordination is generally
high among the employees (Samson, Catley, Cathro, & Daft,
2012).
However, a divisional structure also has certain disadvantages:
1: It may retain some central departments, such as human
resources management.
2: It may lead to poor communication with the other
departments (Samson, Catley, Cathro, & Daft, 2012).
("Al-Majdouie Group Organization Chart," n.d.)
2. Identify the following:
Name of Organisation:
Almajdouie Holding Group.
Organisation’s core business:
Logistics and supply chain.
13. Industry sector to which they belong:
Almajdouie is a group of companies which offer a variety of
services in different industries such as, manufacturing,
education, logistic, real estates and investment and automotive.
They are the official dealer of Hyundai motors in the eastern &
northern region of Saudi ("Al-Majdouie Group | Overview,"
n.d.)
3. Identify three key facts for each of the following to
demonstrate your understanding of your organisation and
industry sector:
a. Your Organisation, and
1: It has eight divisions or departments.
2: Family owned company.
3: Its 52 years old.
("Al-Majdouie Group | Overview," n.d.)
b. Its industry sector (e.g. size, competitors)
1: Large company more then 5000 employees.
2: Its competitors in the automotive industry
are Toyota,Nissan, Kia and Mazda.
3: It's automotive department won several awards during the last
10 years, an example of this awards is “Global Distributor of
the Year 2014 for HYUNDAI Car” ("AlMajdouie Motors Sales,"
n.d.).
c. Discuss the relevance of this knowledge to an employee
It is important for employees to know about their organization
for several reasons:
1: It gives them a better understanding of their field and how it
relates to the overall organization.
2: It gives them an understanding of the performance of their
organization and whether they should continue to work for them
or look for another position.
4. Identify one current event/ issue relating to
your organisation and/or industry and discuss what you think
the implications of this are for your organisation and/or
industry sector.
14. In March 2017, Almajdouie Motors, dealers of Hyundai cars in
the eastern and northern regions of Saudi Arabia, opened the
Almajdouie Hyundai Academy for Training and Technology
(Almajdouie Motors launches training academy for Saudis,
2017).
The goal of this academy is to help the community by offering
training courses in Hyundai mechanics to Saudi youth that will
help to them find a job after graduation or even to start their
own business (e.g., a car garage). In the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia, South Korean cars (e.g., Hyundai and KIA) have a bad
reputation. We believe that Japanese cars (e.g., Toyota) are the
best in all aspects. However, Hyundai is now competing
aggressively with not only Japanese cars but also European cars
(e.g., Audi and Mercedes–Benz). Hyundai recently introduced
its luxury brand, Genesis, in order to compete with
Lexus, Audi and Mercedes–Benz. In the meantime, Almajdouie
is helping Hyundai with its success, and it has opened this
academy to train Hyundai mechanics who can repair Hyundai
cars. When customers see this initiative from Almajdouie, they
feel comfortable in buying Hyundai cars because they know for
certain that there are well-trained car mechanics to work on
their cars (Almajdouie Motors launches training academy for
Saudis, 2017).
In addition, since 2009, Almajdouie has won awards for
delivering the best service for its Hyundai customers. Since
2000, it has also won awards for both its sales and parts
divisions (AlMajdouie Motors Sales, n.d.).
5. Why do you think that as an employee of an organisation it
is important that you have this knowledge about the external
environment of your organisation and/or industry?
It is essential for an employee to know about the external
environment because that gives him or her an excellent
understanding of how the organization works and who the
competitors are. If an employee knows what the competitors are
doing, he or she might come up with an idea to beat the
15. competitors.
6. For each of the following provide an authoritative
definition of the term. Demonstrate your understanding of these
terms by discussing current business examples of these terms in
practice:
a. Corporate social responsibility:
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) refers to when a
corporation or company donates some of its profits to charitable
purposes. However, some argue that social responsibility is not
about the size of financial contributions; rather, it is about
disbursements for social programmes and sustainable projects
that meet the community’s needs (Rangan, 2015).
A good example of CSR in New Zealand is the Westpac Rescue
Helicopters programme. This programme is responsible for
many issues, including rescuing people involved in motor
vehicle accidents on highways (What we do | Auckland Rescue
Helicopter Trust, 2013).
b. Ethics & business:
It is hard to define ethics because each person has their own
ethical understanding. Nonetheless, each business has its own
code of ethics that every new employee must read and follow in
order to protect the interests of both parties (the employer and
the employee) (Frias & Fajardo, 2008).
c. Sustainability:
Sustainability is a wide topic that covers different areas (e.g.,
economic sustainability and environmental sustainability). All
of these areas are important to business, but the most important
type is sustainable development, which is defined as
development that meets the needs of humans in the present
without compromising the needs of the coming generations
(Sustainability begins at home, 2006).
d. Globalisation:
Globalisation is about opening up the world so that there is
increased cultural, economic, political and technological
movement. All people today deal with a world where
geographical and political boundaries have faded. We have
16. capital movements without restrictions, and the information
flow is unimpeded. There are globally
influential organisations such as the World Bank, the
International Monetary Fund, and the specialised agencies of
the United Nations that affect, to one degree or another, the
economies and currencies of countries as well as the living
conditions of people across the world (Gangopadhyay &
Chatterji, 2005).
Because of globalisation, there are trends that can affect the
businesses. For example, Almajdouie is the official importer of
the Korean car manufacturer Hyundai in east and north Saudi
Arabia. Therefore, currency differences and the exchange rate
can affect the price of the cars, which can affect consumers’
decisions on whether to buy a Hyundai (Gangopadhyay &
Chatterji, 2005).
Note: for all questions in section C use a range of relevant
theoretical concepts, models, framework, theories, technical
competencies and/or secondary research (use in text references)
to support your answers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
A.Your Topic: developing your skills as a critical enquirer and
creative problem solver, being knowledgeable in your major
field of study by demonstrating the application of knowledge
from your major(s) to your Co-operative Education role, or
placement, or industry
The aim of Section D is as follows:
To introduce the reader to a relevant topic/current issue
related to your Co-operative Education major affecting your
role and/or organisation and/or industry
To demonstrate the relevance of this topic/issue
To (later, in your final report) critically examine the
issue in depth, reflecting on its application to either to your role
and/or your organisation and/or industry sector
Throughout Co-operative Education you will be working on an
17. area of focus arising out of an organisational or industry
practice, linked to your major and developing a critical enquiry
approach. This MUST be applied either to your role and/or your
organisation and/or industry sector.
In the Final Report you will be required to
critically analyse and evaluate your chosen topic from your
discipline perspective. This topic should develop your
discipline knowledge beyond that acquired in your role and your
skills as a critical enquirer and creative problem solver. Your
Final Report must demonstrate comprehensive understanding of
this topic through research and be applied to your role and/or
industry and/or organisation.
Your approach could include:
Making some recommendations to solve a current
business challenge related to your industry based on research
Analysing opportunities and challenges and making
a judgement about the feasibility of a new or alternate idea
relating to your organisation or industry
Investigating a current business challenge or situation
from a fresh perspective and generating novel solutions
All topics must draw on academic and business literature
The topic will be researched using academic
literature and secondary data.
You must not disclose any confidential information from
your organisation or complete any primary research
Your work must not have been previously submitted by
yourself or another person.
All researched information has been acknowledged by in-
text references in APA 6th ed.
You will make regular submissions in your portfolios to develop
your thinking and receive feedback on your progress:
In this Learning Plan you must list 2-3ideas for a topic in an
area of focus from your discipline perspective and provide
18. a rationale including how this could be applied either to your
role and/or your organisation and/or industry. You may choose
to outline your topic as a question.
THE TASK:
1. Outline your topic ideas and rationale:
Following a meeting, my supervisor, Dr Roger Su, agreed to my
topic: The adoption of IFRS in Saudi Arabia and its related
issues. I will do my placement in Saudi Arabia where IFRS has
been adopted recently, and I know that in Saudi Arabia there
have been problems with the adoption process. In Saudi Arabia,
we have a different kind of tax system, and this could be one
reason for making it more difficult in the adoption process.
2. Discuss how your topics could be applied either to your
role and/or your organisation and/or industry:
My topic will be mainly focused on the Saudi financial system.
However, after I start my placement, I will know clearly how
the adoption of IFRS has affected my organisation and what
issues the finance department has faced in beginning to adopt
IFRS.
3. Outline your research steps that you will follow to
investigate your topics:
I will divide up the research on my topic. I will begin with
literature searches on "IFRS in Saudi Arabia" and "IFRS
adoption issues". I will first outline the issues and then see if I
can find links between the general issues and the adoption
issues in Saudi Arabia. I will also read about the Saudi tax
system. I may compare some aspects of Saudi IFRS with New
Zealand IFRS. I will include theories and views relating to the
adoption, perhaps examining some of its advantages and
disadvantages.
I will use Google Scholar, the library databases, and Saudi news
articles to locate the research materials.
4. Provide a list of key words you will use for an electronic
search:
IFRS, IFRS in Saudi Arabia, Adoption of IFRS, Adoption of
IFRS in Saudi, Saudi TAX system, Advantages of IFRS,
19. Disadvantages if IFRS, Theories of IFRS, concepts of IFRS,
New Zealand IFRS and Issues of IFRS.

knowledge from your major(s) to your Co-operative Education
Placement
The aim of Section A is as follows:
· To demonstrate how relevant the various theories and concepts
from your major have been in completion of your tasks to date
· To reflect on your performance to date
THE TASKS:
1. For each key task that you have undertaken so far, briefly
describe the task and explain how theories, concepts, models,
frameworks and/or technical competencies, from your major(s)
have applied. In your discussion you should:
· refer to a comprehensive range of theory, concepts, models,
frameworks and/or technical competencies using in-text
citations.
· explain how the theory was relevant and guided you to
complete your tasks.
2. Evaluate your performance to date: discuss and reflect on
how well you perceive you have performed your tasks and other
activities to date. You must use supporting evidence and/or
examples of progress made.
B. Your Professional Identity: communicate effectively in
professional settings, working effectively with others including
intercultural perspectives
27. The aim of Section B is as follows:
· To restate (and revise if required) your TWO chosen goals and
actions for professional development
· To reflect on your progress and development to date in both of
these chosen goals
· To review how your planned actions are supporting your
progress
In your Learning Plan you developed TWO goals for your
professional development to work on during your
placement. These related to you
1. working effectively with others to make constructive
contributions
2. working with one’s own and other cultures and diverse
perspectives in professional settings
In this section you will reflect on your placement experiences in
your chosen aspects of your Professional Practice so far.
NOTE: You may have refined or revised your goal(s)from
feedback in your Learning Plan, as well as your specific actions
you have put in place to achieve your goal(s). Please include
these updates in your reflection below.
THE TASKS:
Goal ONE: Working effectively with others to make
constructive contributions
State your specific aspect here: Building effective working
relationship.
· My current goal is (include any changes):
By the end of my Co-operative Education Placement, I will
continue to work in teams in order to achieve the optimal results
for my organization. Although I will face many challenges in
my new role, by the end of the internship period I will need to
prove my abilities in coping with others.
· Outline your planned actions (include original and any
additional/new actions)
My planned action was to use the professional communication
28. theory, where I need to communicate effectively with my
teammate. Communicating with my team members is an
important tool because it clarifies any vague information for
me; also it helps to do my task correctly (Mohan, McGregor,
Saunders, & Archee, 2008).
· Evaluate how your actions have helped towards achieving your
goal. Discuss achievements you are making and/or issues you
are encountering that may be preventing progress being made,
include specific workplace examples and evidence. Note: You
are required to integrate authorised sources to support your
actions
My first week at Almajdouie was excellent in all aspects; my
primary goal was to be working effectively with others. The
accounting department is divided into many sections, which are
account receivable, account payable and cashier. I am working
with the A/R team next to the other sections. I mean by section
that the offices have partitions, so it looks like sections. I like
this idea because it helps in the communication process and in
the exchange of tasks. Also, because we are using new
accounting software, which is called Oracle, if some workmate
faces an issue in it, they don't need to leave their desk they just
ask their neighbour over the partition for help. Also, it is easy
in exchanging the papers from and to the workmate. At the first
day, I was nervous and shy, so I decided to break the barriers
between my workmates and me. Firstly, I introduced myself to
the people I will be working with, I told them that I am doing
co-op for the sake of learning and helping in achieving any
tasks. Honestly, they were helpful and kind to me, they explain
to me anything I don't understand. For example, one day my
supervisor emailed me the code number for a customer and
asked me to find the statements this particular customer from
the Oracle then send it to him. He verbally explained to me how
to find it but the system was complicated so I have asked my
workmate to help and he did. After that, I was really good at
this task I have submitted more than 35 statements to my
supervisor. I think that introducing my self at the first day was
29. a good reason in achieving my goal. Also, I always keep
smiling, because I believe that it gives an impression to the
person in front of me that I am easy-going person and willing to
help. https://www.themuse.com/advice/how-to-make-your-new-
employees-first-day-a-huge-success
Goal TWO: Work with one’s own and other cultures and diverse
perspectives in professional settings
State your specific aspect here: Improve my listening skills.
· My current goal is (include any changes):
During my Co-Operative Education Placement, my goal is to
continue to work on improving my listening skills in order to
achieve the desired results for my organization. Although I will
face many challenges in my new role, I can show my supervisor
and the people I am working with that I can improve my
listening skills by the end of the internship period.
· Outline your planned actions (include original and any
additional/new actions)
· Evaluate how your actions have helped towards achieving your
goal. Discuss achievements you are making and/or issues you
are encountering that may be preventing progress being made,
include specific workplace examples and evidence. Note: You
are required to integrate authorised sources to support your
actions C. Your Co-operative Education Placement Organisation
and the environment it operates in: being critical enquirers and
creative problem solvers.
The aim of Section C is as follows:
· To critically examine the impact of a current event or issue
from your media log on your organisation
· To reflect on your integration into your organisation
· To provide evidence and discuss your personal work
environment
30. In this section you must:
· support your answers with examples and evidence and
reference using APA 6th ed.
THE TASKS:
1. Briefly state who your CPO is, their core business and the
industry sector to which they belong
2. Identify and discuss one current event from your media log
(Appendix 1) that is particularly relevant to your Co-operative
Education Placement Organisation, including your
understanding of this current event and the implications for
your Organisation and how they could manage this.
3. Reflect on your integration into your organisation and its
internal environment. You should include discussion on your
personality type and the strengths and weaknesses identified in
your Learning Plan together with any challenges or successes
achieved to date.
4. Personal Work environment:
· Use visual images to illustrate your personal work
environment (insert below) e.g. work stations, office space and
facilities.
· Discuss why you have chosen these images.
I agree to the following (please tick)
☐ Permission has been given by my workplace supervisor to

solver. You must demonstrate comprehensive understanding of
your topic through research and apply it to your role and/or
industry and/or organisation.
In your Learning Plan you listed your initial ideas on your area
of interest from your discipline perspective. This is an
