Question 6 Project Communications Management:
Part A) A project manager (PM) should focus on actively managing stakeholders’ expectations.
This includes addressing concerns that have not yet become issues and clarifying issues that have
been identified. In order to be successful at these tasks, the PM needs to develop interpersonal
and management skills. Several important interpersonal skills for a PM are the ability to build
trust, resolve conflicts, and overcome resistance to change. Management skills include
presentation/public speaking, negotiating, and writing. Pick one of these critical interpersonal or
management skills and discuss your personal experience(s) with this skill. Then explain this skill
to the class as if you were trying to assist a colleague in better developing that skill.
Part B) Reporting performance is an essential part of project communications management.
Project managers spend a significant amount of time creating various types of reports. The most
obvious forms of reporting are reporting on status, current performance, work to be completed,
and approved changes. Based on your experience or cases in the literature, characterize the types
of reporting that are required of project managers, the content of such reports, and the frequency
of the reports.
Solution
Part A) Let us Pick Negotiating skill from Management skills. Let us know briefly about
negotiation before knowing further.
Negotiation is a strategic discussion that resolves an issue in a way that both parties find
acceptable. In a negotiation, each party tries to persuade the other to agree with his or her point
of view. Negotiation is essential to healthy professional relationships. Learning how to merge the
wants and needs of the group and build mutually viable solutions is key to a healthy, happy work
life.
Personal experience with Negotiation skills:
1) Preparing for the negotiation: Before you actually start any negotiation take a few moments or
a few weeks, depending on the importance and complexity of the negotiation, to prepare for the
negotiation session.
a. Separate facts from assumptions. I usuall try to Understand about the situation and what I
assume to be true.
b. Validate facts. Sometimes facts change. I will make sure information is current. If I can\'t do
this, I will consider the unverified facts to be assumptions
c. Validate assumptions. Assumptions should be validated by third party confirmation or simply
asking the other person if they are valid.
d. Test assumptions. Assumptions that can\'t be validated need to be tested or discarded.
Erroneous assumptions can impair an otherwise sound negotiating strategy. I will not set myself
up for failure relying on an invalidated assumption because I like it or it helps my case.
e. Adjust your strategies. Using the newly acquired information, I will make sure initial
strategies, objectives and goals are still appropriate. The new information can often change
strategies and on occasion can obviate .
Negotiation skills is very important in day to day life be it a informal or formal situation a good negotiation skills can make you a successful person.

Question 3
Carlton Containers has a dividend policy whereby the firm pays a constant annual dividend of
$1.95 per share of common stock. The firm has 10,000 shares of stock outstanding. The
company
must always show a current liability of $19,500 ($1.95 x 1,000) for dividends payable.
is obligated to pay $1.95 per share each year in perpetuity.
must still declare each dividend before it becomes an actual company liability.
will be declared in default if it does not pay at least $1.95 per share per year on a timely basis.

dividend payment.

will be declared in default if it does not pay at least $1.95 per share per year on a timely basis.
has a liability that must be paid at a later date should the company miss paying an annual
dividend payment.
Solution
The company must still declare each dividend before it becomes an actual company liability.
Dividend on common stock is genearally paid only if the company is in profits. So, by default a
current liability cannot be created, because it is not certain that every year the company will
make profits.
It is only the policy of the company, it does not create an obligation that the company must pay
dividend.
Therefore, the company must declare its dividend in the Annual general meeting by means of a
resolution, only then the dividend liability will arise. Hence the correct statement is the third
statement..

QUESTION 51. This bull reincarnation increased in popularity .pdfalamshoes001
QUESTION 5
1. This bull reincarnation increased in popularity during the Late and Ptolemaic Periods. Who
does it represent, how is its divinity signified, and what are traditional markings on this type of
statue?
See image
https://content.grantham.edu/at/AR310/ar310-quiz-8-q-5.png
Solution
Ceremonial burials of bulls indicate that ritual sacrifice was part of the worship of the early cow
deities and a bull might represent a king who became a deity after death.
It represents \"the renewal of the life\" of the Memphite god Ptah: but after death he became
Osorapis, i.e. the Osiris Apis, just as dead humans were assimilated to Osiris, the king of the
underworld. This Osorapis was identified with the Hellenistic Serapis, and may well be identical
with him. Greek writers make the Apis an incarnation of Osiris, ignoring the connection with
Ptah.
Apis was the most important of all the sacred animals in Egypt, and, as with the others, its
importance increased as time went on. Greek and Roman authors have much to say about Apis,
the marks by which the black bull-calf was recognized, the manner of his conception by a ray
from heaven, his house at Memphis with court for disporting himself, the mode of
prognostication from his actions, the mourning at his death, his costly burial, and the rejoicings
throughout the country when a new Apis was found. Auguste Mariette\'s excavation of the
Serapeum at Memphis revealed the tombs of over sixty animals, ranging from the time of
Amenophis III to that of Ptolemy Alexander. At first each animal was buried in a separate tomb
with a chapel built above it.
The bovines in the region in which Ptah was worshipped exhibited white patterning on their
mainly black bodies, and so a belief grew up that the Apis bull had to have a certain set of
markings suitable to its role. It was required to have a white triangle upon its forehead, a white
vulture wing outline on its back, a scarab mark under its tongue, a white crescent moon shape on
its right flank, and double hairs on its tail..

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Question 6 Project Communications ManagementPart A) A project man.pdf
1. Question 6 Project Communications Management:
Part A) A project manager (PM) should focus on actively managing stakeholders’ expectations.
This includes addressing concerns that have not yet become issues and clarifying issues that have
been identified. In order to be successful at these tasks, the PM needs to develop interpersonal
and management skills. Several important interpersonal skills for a PM are the ability to build
trust, resolve conflicts, and overcome resistance to change. Management skills include
presentation/public speaking, negotiating, and writing. Pick one of these critical interpersonal or
management skills and discuss your personal experience(s) with this skill. Then explain this skill
to the class as if you were trying to assist a colleague in better developing that skill.
Part B) Reporting performance is an essential part of project communications management.
Project managers spend a significant amount of time creating various types of reports. The most
obvious forms of reporting are reporting on status, current performance, work to be completed,
and approved changes. Based on your experience or cases in the literature, characterize the types
of reporting that are required of project managers, the content of such reports, and the frequency
of the reports.
Solution
Part A) Let us Pick Negotiating skill from Management skills. Let us know briefly about
negotiation before knowing further.
Negotiation is a strategic discussion that resolves an issue in a way that both parties find
acceptable. In a negotiation, each party tries to persuade the other to agree with his or her point
of view. Negotiation is essential to healthy professional relationships. Learning how to merge the
wants and needs of the group and build mutually viable solutions is key to a healthy, happy work
life.
Personal experience with Negotiation skills:
1) Preparing for the negotiation: Before you actually start any negotiation take a few moments or
a few weeks, depending on the importance and complexity of the negotiation, to prepare for the
negotiation session.
a. Separate facts from assumptions. I usuall try to Understand about the situation and what I
assume to be true.
b. Validate facts. Sometimes facts change. I will make sure information is current. If I can't do
this, I will consider the unverified facts to be assumptions
c. Validate assumptions. Assumptions should be validated by third party confirmation or simply
asking the other person if they are valid.
2. d. Test assumptions. Assumptions that can't be validated need to be tested or discarded.
Erroneous assumptions can impair an otherwise sound negotiating strategy. I will not set myself
up for failure relying on an invalidated assumption because I like it or it helps my case.
e. Adjust your strategies. Using the newly acquired information, I will make sure initial
strategies, objectives and goals are still appropriate. The new information can often change
strategies and on occasion can obviate the disagreement altogether.
2. Identification of the problem: It is very essential to establish what the issue is before trying to
resolve it. Often arguments occur because me and the other person are discussing different issues
not apparent to one another.
3. Selecting the participants. Both me and the other person are entitled to add or object to a
potential participant in any negotiation. How the two sides populate their teams usually will have
an impact on the outcome. Among other things you should try to keep people out of the
negotiation who tend to inflame the situation.
4. Researching the participants. Once I and the other person have established the people to be
involved in the discussion/negotiation I will assess who The other person has on his or her team,
why they were added and what position they are likely to advocate. The other person's selection
of co-negotiators will indicate the areas he feels are important to his position or the areas he feels
he lacks expertise.
5. Meeting the Participants. When the participants first get together to start the negotiation there
is usually a short period of time when people meet each other and get settled. This is an excellent
period during which i would take the measure of everyone about to take a seat at the table. I will
observe who are comfortable and who appear uneasy. I prefer to participate in casual
conversations to determine the interests and backgrounds of the other person's co-negotiators. I
will make sure my advocates are comfortable and ready.
The most attributes of Negotiation to make it successful are:
1. Negotiate Towards a Win-Win Outcome: This stage focuses on what is termed a 'win-win'
outcome where both sides feel they have gained something positive through the process of
negotiation and both sides feel their point of view has been taken into consideration. A win-win
outcome is usually the best result. Although this may not always be possible, through
negotiation, it should be the ultimate goal. Suggestions of alternative strategies and compromises
need to be considered at this point. Compromises are often positive alternatives which can often
achieve greater benefit for all concerned compared to holding to the original positions.
2. Agreement: Agreement can be achieved once understanding of both sides’ viewpoints and
interests have been considered. It is essential to for everybody involved to keep an open mind in
order to achieve an acceptable solution. Any agreement needs to be made perfectly clear so that
both sides know what has been decided.
3. 3. Discussion: During this stage, individuals or members of each side put forward the case as
they see it, i.e. their understanding of the situation. Key skills during this stage include
questioning, listening and clarifying. Sometimes it is helpful to take notes during the discussion
stage to record all points put forward in case there is need for further clarification. It is extremely
important to listen, as when disagreement takes place it is easy to make the mistake of saying too
much and listening too little. Each side should have an equal opportunity to present their case.
