dining and many feature drivethru service.
A Brief History (minimum 50 words)
The first McDonald’s restaurant was opened in 1948 by Richard and Maurice McDonald. It
brought production line techniques to the burger business and challenged the dominant carhop drivein
business model. Ray Kroc was one of the earliest franchisees and the key figure in the rapid expansion of
the business after he bought out the McDonald brothers 1961. McDonald’s became a public company in
1965 and opened its first international location in 1967. Sales and locations have continued to grow every
year since.
Key current competitors (minimum 50 words)
Historically, McDonald’s primary competitors were identified to be the large fast food burger
chains like Burger King and Wendy’s. But given McDonald’s size and the expansion of their menu, the
competitive set must be viewed more broadly to include sandwich shops like Subway, other fast food
concepts like ChikfilA, more upscale fast casual restaurants like Panera and Chipotle, as well as coffee
shop chains like Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts.

For this assignment, select
one
of the following options:
Option 1: Imperialism
The exploitation of colonial resources and indigenous labor was one of the key elements in the success of imperialism. Such exploitation was a result of the prevalent ethnocentrism of the time and was justified by the unscientific concept of social Darwinism, which praised the characteristics of white Europeans and inaccurately ascribed negative characteristics to indigenous peoples. A famous poem of the time by Rudyard Kipling, "White Man's Burden," called on imperial powers, and particularly the U.S., at whom the poem was directed, to take up the mission of civilizing these "savage" peoples.
Read the poem at the following link:
(Links to an external site.)
After reading the poem, address the following in a case study analysis:
Select a specific part of the world (a country), and examine imperialism in that country. What was the relationship between the invading country and the native people? You can select from these examples or choose your own:
- Belgium & Africa
- Britain & India
- Germany & Africa
- France & Africa
Apply social Darwinism to this specific case.
Analyze the motivations of the invading country?

Instructions
For this assignment, select
one
of the following options:
Option 1: Imperialism
The exploitation of colonial resources and indigenous labor was one of the key elements in the success of imperialism. Such exploitation was a result of the prevalent ethnocentrism of the time and was justified by the unscientific concept of social Darwinism, which praised the characteristics of white Europeans and inaccurately ascribed negative characteristics to indigenous peoples. A famous poem of the time by Rudyard Kipling, "White Man's Burden," called on imperial powers, and particularly the U.S., at whom the poem was directed, to take up the mission of civilizing these "savage" peoples.
Read the poem at the following link:
(Links to an external site.)
After reading the poem, address the following in a case study analysis:
Select a specific part of the world (a country), and examine imperialism in that country. What was the relationship between the invading country and the native people? You can select from these examples or choose your own:
- Belgium & Africa
- Britain & India
- Germany & Africa
- France & Africa
Apply social Darwinism to this specific case.
Analyze the motivations of the invading country?
How did ethnocentrism manifest in their interactions?
How does Kipling's poem apply to your specific example? You can quote lines for comparison.

InstructionsFinancial challenges associated with changes.docxmaoanderton
Instructions
Financial challenges associated with changes to how healthcare organizations are reimbursed for healthcare services, the cost of implementing new technology and professionals to comply with federal requirements for electronic health records, and the increasing numbers of individuals who cannot pay for their healthcare represent only one issue for healthcare executives in the healthcare delivery system. But it has significant consequences for the viability and solvency of healthcare organizations. Healthcare executives don’t have a crystal ball; however, they do engage in forecasting the future based on what is currently known and examination of trends (Lee, 2015). To do this type of forecasting, healthcare executives are demonstrating techniques found in anticipatory management. According to their seminal research, Ashley and Morrison (1997) reported there are severe consequences for not anticipating future trends in a rapidly changing and complex society. The anticipatory management process they describe begins with scanning the environment to identify issues; creating issues briefs to inform stakeholders; prioritizing issues; assembling the team of experts; creating, implementing, and evaluating action plans and outcomes; and adjusting the course when necessary.
Last week, you compared healthcare delivery and costs in the United States with those in developed countries. This week, you will focus U.S. healthcare executives and how they prioritize the challenges confronting them to minimize the impact to their organizations.
As you prepare your assignment, consider these questions:
What challenges you have experienced in the healthcare workplace or when you have accessed your own healthcare provider?
Have you observed changes to how your personal health information is gathered and documented?
What technology is now being used which may be new to your workplace?
Were you required to take additional training in your current healthcare position due to the implementation of new technology?
Have you experienced a shortage of healthcare personnel in your workplace or at your healthcare provider’s office?
What effect have these situations had on you as the employee and patient?
After your examination of current literature on the trends, issues, and challenges for healthcare executives and their organization's review Ashley and Morrison’s seminal article (1997) on anticipatory management and utilize the sample chart shown for this assignment.
You may recreate this four-column table in a Word document and insert your issues/trends, identify which organizational area is/will be impacted by each issue/trend, and provide your rationale for the priority level you assigned each issue/trend. Be sure to use a title page for this assignment and a reference page in APA format. You will add rows to your tabl.

Develop an iconographic essay. Select a work from this module to write the essay on. Utilize the objectives and above information to develop the statement. The essay must include a thesis statement/introduction, supporting body, and conclusion. The conclusion should provide a synthesis of the statements and thesis into a final idea about what the audience should remember and take away from the assignment.
List the objects and subjects included in the painting
Provide an iconographic definition (ala dictionary or glossary for each item)
Identify the narrative source for each item (artist invention, poem, narrative, biblical, greco-roman, other presence, real life historical or cultural artifact as symbol, other artworks and ideas as symbols, etc.) (
ex. Alexander the Great as a symbol; American Flag as a symbol; Greek mythology as symbols; The hammer and sickle in Russia, the american eagle, a soldier, etc.)
Is there more than one context for the iconographic or symbolic representation of the idea? How many contexts or roles is each symbolic object fulfilling in presenting, adding, or relaying meaning about the subject; (current age vs. past age; multiple metaphors; multiple layers of ideas etc.)
Symbols and Icons in different contexts - define how the symbols and subjects make one idea serve another idea (A Greek god is rebranded and used in Rome. What does this act mean for Rome to use a Greek Religious concept)
What do the symbols mean in the age, or multiple ages, and how are we supposed to connect to them in the context of the work? - ex. How are greco-roman subject and symbols used and perceived in a Renaissance age? Why would someone in the Renaissance care about Ancient Greco-Roman gods and subjects, what’s in it for a Renaissance Italian or Renaissance Italy for that matter?
Analysis through Iconology
This kind of analysis usually is most useful for narrative works and art before the Modern period. Non-objective art or art with arbitrary subjects (such as DADA) don't work as well with this kind of analysis because narratives and conventional symbols are not a part of these works. Here you will look for a particular element that occurs in the object (an object, action, gesture, pose) and explain either:
when that same element occurs in other objects through history and how this object’s representation of it is unique, or
what that element means generally in art or to art historians—in other words, the traditional association an art historian might make between that depiction and some other thing.
The following video provides an example of Iconological analysis. The video speaks to the meaning of the gestures, iconography, meaning of certain types of depiction, and other narrative imagery and symbolism related to those narrative elements. https://youtu.be/rKhfFBbVtFg
If you are confused, read Erwin Panofsky’s essays on iconology and iconography, in which he defines these terms more extensively. Be w.

InstructionsCommunities do not exist in a bubble. Often changes .docxmaoanderton
Instructions
Communities do not exist in a bubble. Often changes made in the larger society, driven by technology, have an unexpected effect on local communities. Consider the effects of the advancements in transportation technologies on communities. Routes of transportation have evolved from water to train to the road and then to air. Each of these advancements led to job displacement and changes in travel routes. In the United States, prior to the mid-1800s, the communities that thrived had water access and ports where the exchange of goods and services occurred. With the building of the transcontinental railway and the growth of transportation by rail, the communities that thrived had train depots. With the building of major highways in the 1900s, access to those roads became critical to survival. With each advancement, local communities were impacted, such that many communities that grew around train depots became ghost towns full of poverty, homelessness, and despair once train travel was no longer the primary means of human transportation.
In this assignment, you are asked to create a presentation on one of the following topics:
Green Energy

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

MCDONALD’S SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

3. McDonald’s Marketing Plan: Frie-day with RedBox
Brand or Company Description (minimum 25 words)
McDonald’s is the world’s largest fast food chain with over $25
B in annual sales and more than
35,000 retail locations in more than 100 countries (McDonald’s
Corporation, 2015).
Core Products or Services (minimum 25 words)
Beyond the burgers, french fries and milkshakes that they’ve be
en selling since its founding,
McDonald’s sells a variety of wraps, salads, sandwiches and be
verages – more than 200 items in all (The
Economist, 2015). McDonald’s locations are typically open for
breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night
dining and many feature drive-thru service.
A Brief History (minimum 50 words)
The first McDonald’s restaurant was opened in 1948 by Richard
and Maurice McDonald. It
brought production line techniques to the burger business and c
hallenged the dominant carhop drive-in
business model. Ray Kroc was one of the earliest franchisees an
d the key figure in the rapid expansion of
the business after he bought out the McDonald brothers 1961. M
cDonald’s became a public company in
4. 1965 and opened its first international location in 1967. Sales a
nd locations have continued to grow every
year since.
Key current competitors (minimum 50 words)
Historically, McDonald’s primary competitors were identified t
o be the large fast food burger
chains like Burger King and Wendy’s. But given McDonald’s si
ze and the expansion of their menu, the
competitive set must be viewed more broadly to include sandwi
ch shops like Subway, other fast food
concepts like Chik-fil-A, more upscale fast casual restaurants li
ke Panera and Chipotle, as well as coffee
shop chains like Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts.

SWOT Analysis (minimum 500 words)
SWOT Analysis: Strengths
(Describe a minimum of 3 positive controllable factors)
1. Anytime, anywhere convenience
With over 14,000 locations in the U.S. alone, there’s a McDonal
5. d’s within a short drive of almost
everyone and most are open from 6am to 11pm. The number of l
ocations also means that McDonald’s can
purchase media nationally which is more cost efficient than buy
ing locally.
2. Brand equity
As a results of its many locations, consistent brand experiences
and hundreds of millions of
dollars spent on marketing each year-- McDonald’s has develop
ed a very strong brand. For example, they
ranked 5th on BrandZ’s 2014 most valuable global brand list (R
ooney, 2014).
3. The Best French Fries
McDonald’s french fries are universally loved -- even by people
who don’t otherwise like
McDonald’s food. McDonald’s fries were voted #1 in a 2015 Yo
uGov study (Peterson, 2015).
4. Kid appeal
McDonald’s is a popular destination amongst younger kids. Man
y locations have indoor
playgrounds and there are menu items such as Happy Meals whi
ch combine several kid friendly food
offerings in a fun box that includes a toy. The brand does a lot o
6. f advertising on kid targeted programs
and Ronald McDonald is a highly recognizable spokesperson.
5. Inexpensive
With it’s well known dollar menu, McDonald’s is perceived by
most consumers as an
inexpensive place to go for breakfast, lunch or dinner -- or a bet
ween meal snack.
SWOT Analysis: Weaknesses
(Describe a minimum of 3 negative controllable factors)
1. Menu bloat
MCDONALD’S SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
4
In their attempt to compete with a wide range of competitors, M
cDonald’s menu has swollen to
more than 200 items. This is driving down operational efficienc
y as it takes longer for consumers to order
and longer for the food to be prepared (Walton, 2015). Franchis
ees also have to invest in additional
kitchen equipment and training.
2. Dining environment appeal
7. Many McDonald’s locations are outdated relative to chains like
Starbucks or Panera which offer
comfortable seating, amenities like fireplaces and greater cleanl
iness (Walton, 2015).
3. Low customer satisfaction
In a 2014 ACSI survey, McDonald’s ranked last with a rating of
71%, some 7 points below competitors
like Wendy’s and Subway (Comoletti, 2014). The rating reflects
factors such as order accuracy, food
quality, staff courtesy and menu variety.
4. Low employee wages
McDonald’s does not pay its restaurant workers what most woul
d consider to be a “living wage”. As a
result, McDonald’s does not always attract the highest quality e
mployees and turnover can be high,
resulting in a constant need for re-hiring and re-training.
SWOT Analysis: Threats
(Describe a minimum of 3 negative uncontrollable factors)
1. Healthier eating trends
While McDonald’s menu does feature some healthier items like
salads and wraps, they are still
primarily associated with burgers, french fries, mass production
and processed food. As such, healthier
8. eating trends represent a threat to McDonald’s business.
2. Aging of the population
The percent of population in the United States over the age of 6
5 is growing. From 10% in 1970
to a projected 20% by 2030 (Ortman, Velkoff, & Hogan, 2014).
The aging of the population is a threat for
a business whose core consumer franchise has historically been
families with younger children.
MCDONALD’S SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

3. Rising social consciousness
While McDonald’s business or environmental practices have lik
ely improved over time, the level
of scrutiny surrounding the triple-bottom line and associated ne
gative publicity has increased in recent
years. Popular documentaries like Super Size Me and
Fast Food Nation have not portrayed McDonald’s
food or its business practices in a positive light.
SWOT Analysis: Opportunities
(Describe a min. of 3 positive uncontrollable factors)
9. 1. Positive childhood associations
Regardless of people’s current perceptions or level of satisfacti
on, most McDonald’s consumers
have fond childhood memories associated with the brand that ca
n be potentially activated with the right
messaging or product offerings. This creates an opportunity wit
h the next generation of parents.
2. The prolonged U.S. economic recession
The more people’s budgets are pinched, the more they are apt to
“trade down” to less expensive
options like fast food. With its well-known dollar menu, McDon
ald’s has the opportunity to benefit from
a prolonged economic downturn.
3. Growth in speciality coffee
The percentage of Americans drinking speciality coffee in the U
S has more than doubled since
2009 (Ward, 2004) and teenagers are a particularly high growth
segment. McDonald’s McCafe specialty
coffee product line should continue to benefit from this trend.
Marketing Plan Focus
(What you’re marketing and why, minimum 100 words)
Based on my SWOT analysis, I believe there is an opportunity t
o significantly grow the
10. after-dinner snacking business (i.e., french fries and McCafe be
verages) amongst teenagers and young
adults. This is also a way to showcase updated facilities and am
enities like Wifi to customers who may
not have visited McDonald’s recently. I think it’s important to r
e-establish brand liking with this age
group prior to them having kids of their own. This will be the fo
cus of my marketing plan.

Your organization has just completed the Initiation Process for
implementing an Email System Upgrade. It was identified in a
recent meeting with management leaders from the Sales,
Consulting and IT departments that the current email system is
causing significant amount of business interruptions and must
be updated immediately. You have been assigned the role of
project manager to develop the project schedule and budget. As
project manager, you are responsible for implementing and
enforcing the project schedule and its estimates, expected costs,
and the techniques and methods that will be chosen to execute
and control the project. The project is being initiated with the
following initial project scope in mind:
· There are five email systems currently being used across
twelve departments and offices. These will be replaced and
consolidated into one email system.
· New Email Standards and Protocols will be established and
training provided to all departments.
· All 2000 current email users will be converted to the new
system, and 500 new users that did not have email before will
be added.
· Users will have both LAN and remote access to email.
· Help desk and support infrastructure will be set-up to
accommodate the new system.
· Equipment will be salvaged.
User PCs will be upgraded to accommodate the new email
system.

Scheduling Notes: This project is currently scheduled to be
completed within 44 days (start to finish), with time buffers
included. Training for all departments is the largest time
consumer and could be condensed, which would allow for the
remaining tasks to be bumped up to the previous weekend of 20-
21 May (starting with Task #13), which would effectively
shorten the total project down to 37 days.
