Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a strategic communication case study.
Effective communication skills are critical to success in almost all managerial positions. Several challenges exist surrounding the creation and implementation of
effective communications both internally (inside organizations between individuals and groups) and externally (outside organizations with markets, partners,
and other third parties). Technology, change, and the various needs of stakeholders are just a few of the concerns that impact business communications. This
course is designed to help you communicate effectively in a variety of business settings with both internal and external stakeholders. Effective communication is
a necessary tool for managing people and organizations.
In this project, you will enhance your skills and knowledge of techniques in various communications to lead change, develop and maintain relationships, and
address sources of conflict through effective communications tied to organizational goals and core visions. Through the development of a strategic
communication case study, you will gain comprehensive, hands-on experience in evaluating and constructing communications that inform, persuade, and
influence intended audiences in order to achieve strategic goals. Using the provided case study, you will identify issues that must be addressed from an
organizational perspective. Additionally, you will make informed decisions regarding what actions to take, paying particular attention to appropriateness of
communications and mediums, as well as evaluating effectiveness. To access the final project case study, “Research in Motion: Sincerely, a RIM Employee (A),”
refer to the MGT-550 Textbook/Case Study Bundle mentioned in the syllabus.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three, Five, and Seven. The final product will be submitted in Module Nine.

The document discusses developing a communication infrastructure strategy for a medical facility. It proposes creating organizational charts and chain-of-command diagrams to outline official communication channels. It also recommends developing an action plan identifying different types of information to be communicated, such as new policies and staffing changes. Templates and tools are suggested like agendas, meeting objectives, and feedback mechanisms to evaluate the effectiveness of the communication strategy. However, the essay requires revision to better address the high-level communication framework of a hospital rather than focusing on specific departments.

Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a social media consultation document.
Social media often reaches multiple departments within an organization such as human resources, legal, marketing, operations, sales, and more. Planning
strategically offers an organization a blueprint of sorts that can be communicated to these various stakeholders. These plans help set direction and also help
prioritize initiatives while keeping everyone on the same page. Equally important is planning for social media mishaps. It is never more apparent that strategic
planning was not done or did not include a contingency plan than when social media engagement snowballs into a public relations disaster.
In this assessment, you will explore strategic social media use for an existing organization of your choice. This paper will cover two platforms you feel are relevant
to the organization’s goals and detail how these platforms can be used in tandem to reach organizational goals. You will be both creative and strategic and align
goals to specific tactics on each platform of your choice. You will also include a plan of action to guide decision making when negative comments make a
community toxic or when opportunities present themselves to engage the audience in positive communication.
The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final product will be submitted in Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Illustrate social media best practices for achieving organizational goals
Choose appropriate social media content for meeting the communications needs and goals of organizations
Analyze the effectiveness of social media strategies for various personal, professional, and organizational goals
Devise effective approaches for constructively addressing audience feedback on social media
Prompt
For this assessment, you will first identify a local business with little or no social media presence (if there is an issue with access to a local business, work with
your instructor to identify one you may use). Assume you have been asked to create a social media consultation document to help executives understand and
plan for social media. This paper will be informational and is not specifically a social media strategy. Instead, it is meant to inform decision makers and provide
them the information they would need to begin creating a social media strategy.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

Strategic communication
refers to the deliberate planning, execution, and management of communication efforts to achieve specific goals and objectives. It involves developing a comprehensive communication strategy that aligns with an organization’s overall strategic objectives. Here are key aspects and considerations in strategic communication:
Audience Analysis: Understanding the target audience is crucial in strategic communication. It involves analyzing their demographics, preferences, behaviors, and communication channels they use. This analysis helps tailor messages and select appropriate communication channels to effectively reach and engage the intended audience.
Message Development: Crafting clear, concise, and compelling messages is essential. Messages should align with the organization’s values, vision, and goals. They should be audience-centric, focusing on addressing their needs, interests, and aspirations. Consistency in messaging across various communication channels helps build a strong brand identity.
3 . Communication Channels: Selecting the right communication channels is vital for effective strategic communication. This includes traditional channels like print media, television, and radio, as well as digital channels like websites, social media platforms, email marketing, and mobile applications. The choice of channels depends on the target audience, message content, and the organization’s resources.
4 . Integrated Communication: Integration across different communication channels ensures a cohesive and consistent brand presence. Strategic communication involves coordinating messages, design elements, and timing across various platforms to create a unified and impactful brand experience for the audience.
A communication audit is a systematic evaluation of an organization's internal and external communication efforts, including marketing materials, websites, reports, and more. It assesses the effectiveness of these channels and identifies strengths and weaknesses. An audit collects feedback from employees, customers, and other stakeholders through surveys, interviews, or focus groups. It then provides a comprehensive report on what is working well and what needs improvement, along with recommendations to strengthen future communication strategies.
This document outlines best practices for business writing and communication. It discusses the importance of effective communication skills, including reading, writing, listening and nonverbal communication. Global competition, technology changes, and use of teams require higher communication standards. Business writing should be clear, concise, and audience-focused. Formats like emails, reports, presentations, proposals and plans are examined. Cultural awareness and ethics are also important aspects of business communication. Overall, the key is to understand audience and purpose, and apply best practices across all formats of business writing.

Part 4 Communicating the Change (Due Week 6)An important part.docxherbertwilson5999
Part 4: Communicating the Change (Due Week 6)
An important part of any change project is how the change is communicated to the organization, to the change agents, to the line workers, to the customers, and to the public. Along with media relations issues, communicating change (especially in a publicly traded company) can involve multiple legal and regulatory aspects, as well as personnel and management concerns. Perhaps the single most difficult piece of handling Kotter’s “establish a sense of urgency” is that too many inexperienced or immature change agents read this to mean “panic the troops.” Never do this.
This project piece will have 3 parts:
A. The main part of your project this week will ask you to pick ONE of Apple Inc and Kodak’s change plan, and develop a communication plan for the company. This plan should be submitted by using an excel spreadsheet attachment, setting out the Stakeholders, the timeline of the communication plan, the method of communication, the rationale for why you chose this method of communication, the purpose of the communication and identifying “who” will do the communicating.
B. Pick ONE of the communication pieces which you would have used which is listed in your communication plan, and write the communication in a Word document (either the text or the script, if the communication would have been oral.) If you use any form of communication from templates you find online or in a textbook, be sure to cite your source. Your instructor will grade this based on how well it relates to the audience/stakeholder group to which it is intended.
C. The “real world” aspect of this project is that you will write a 1-2 page analysis of one of the media pieces about one of the company’s changes written (or provided via oral media) by the company. For this section of the project, please analyze any media, news, or other communications which explained the change going on in the organization. Explain in your paper how the company handled communicating the change to its stakeholders.

Course Assignments
In this course, you are expected to write a 6–10-page research paper, outlining a communications
outreach campaign. The paper will also form the foundation for your voiceover PowerPoint
presentation, which is due in Module 7.
You may select one of two options to complete your paper:
Option 1
Think about the health care organization you work in, or an organization in your community with which
you are familiar. Assume that you are a mid-level manager and want to implement an outreach
campaign to target a particular group that is not accessing your services. You want to develop a
communications plan to create awareness of and cultivate buy-in for the service. An example might be
making hospice services available to the Native American community. You will need to present this plan
before your Board of Directors for approval. The fiscal climate is challenging, so you will need to use
available data to develop an evidence-based persuasive paper.
In your paper, you must address the following areas:
Describe the organization, including services provided and service region.
Describe for the board of directors the target group you want to bring in. If you are targeting a
particular service or product for the group, describe that as well.
Include demographic data for the region served by the organization, with particular focus on
current numbers and projected increases for certain cultural groups, if any. You may look at
many facets of culture here, including but not limited to ethnicity, race, age, socioeconomic
status, or gender. This data can be found on your state’s health department website.
Identify current communication technologies that you plan to use for this target group, and
explain your choices. If you cannot find a technology that is culturally or environmentally
appropriate for the group, explain why and describe other ways to reach out to the group.
Provide a rich and detailed description for your communication campaign to the board and
request approval. Your presentation should “sell” the Board on the communications campaign
for the target cultural group using what you consider to be the best currently available
technology.
Option 2
Think about the health care organization you work in, or an organization in your community with which
you are familiar. Assume that you are a manager for a hospital surgical unit and want to implement an
outreach campaign to market the availability of a new medical procedure, such as a heart, liver, renal,
bariatric, neurological, or other surgical procedure. You want to develop a communications plan to
create awareness of and cultivate buy-in for the service. An example might be robot-assisted cardiac
surgery. You will need to present this plan before your Board of Directors for approval. The fiscal climate
is challenging, so you will need to use available data to develop an evidence-based persuasive paper..
Ask Michael E. Mark about his company’s procedures for making a big .docxrandymartin91030
Ask Michael E. Mark about his company’s procedures for making a big capital investment, and he is likely to refer you to the Flextronics International Corporate Policy Manual. It has 80 pages – all of them blank. Although Marks is Flextronics’ chairman and CEO, he says he sometimes lets subordinates such as Humphrey W. Porter, the head of Flextronics’ European operations, do multi-million dollar acquisitions without showing him the paperwork. He disdains staff meetings at his San Jose (Calf.) headquarters, and he refuses to draw up an organization chart delineating his managers’ responsibilities.
One might think Marks’ style is too casual for a growing conglomerate. This is a giant that owns dozens of factories scattered over four continents and has big contracts with some of the most demanding corporate customers on earth, from Cisco Systems Inc. to Siemens. In recent years it has acquired manufacturing plants, design firms, and component makers in the United States, Europe and Asia. It also has landed huge manufacturing contracts with Motorola Inc. and Microsoft Corp.
As Marks sees it, the business of global contract manufacturing is all about speed. The time it takes to get a prototype into mass production and onto retail shelves across the globe can determine whether a leading-edge digital gadget succeeds or flops. And with the Internet and corporate makeovers rapidly reconfiguring entire industries, Marks thinks it’s a bigger sin to miss important opportunities than to make a mistake or two. So he doesn’t want to tie down his top managers with bureaucracy. One of Marks’ favorite dictums: “It’s not the big who eat the small. It’s the fast who eat the slow.”
So far Marks has managed to craft the right balance. A Harvard MBA who had run several small electronics makers, Marks helped engineer a takeover of Singapore domiciled Flextronics in 1993, when it was nearly bankrupt. After turning the company around, he began to rebuild. Flextronics became a favored supplier to companies like Cisco, 3Com, and Palm. Flextronics is poised to become the world’s second-largest contract manufacturer, after Milpitas (Calif.) based Solectron Corp. Beside the industrial parks in Hungary, it also has huge manufacturing campuses in Mexico, China and Brazil.
The basketball hoop hanging in Marks’ modest, somewhat disheveled office seems to sum up his self-image. Marks is a passionate player – even though he stands all of 5 ft. 2 in. Likewise, in the business world Marks seems determined to prove a point. One way or another, he’s convinced he can retain the agile management style of a start-up, while making Flextronics a global enterprise that can play in the big leagues.
1. Based on your reading of the case, describe Marks’ leadership process, style, behavior and the text term that best defines it. Do you think he is successful because of or in spite of his leadership approach?
2. What leadership theories covered in the chapter.

Nurses should advocate for policy issues by getting involved in lobbying. The American Nurses Association believes it is nurses' responsibility to advocate for patient safety, care standards, and healthy work environments. Nurses can make a difference by participating in professional organizations, staying informed on issues, and contacting legislators. When lobbying, nurses should keep messages short and focused, build relationships with legislative staff, and time requests appropriately in the legislative process.

refers to the deliberate planning, execution, and management of communication efforts to achieve specific goals and objectives. It involves developing a comprehensive communication strategy that aligns with an organization’s overall strategic objectives. Here are key aspects and considerations in strategic communication:
Audience Analysis: Understanding the target audience is crucial in strategic communication. It involves analyzing their demographics, preferences, behaviors, and communication channels they use. This analysis helps tailor messages and select appropriate communication channels to effectively reach and engage the intended audience.
Message Development: Crafting clear, concise, and compelling messages is essential. Messages should align with the organization’s values, vision, and goals.

This includes traditional channels like print media, television, and radio, as well as digital channels like websites, social media platforms, email marketing, and mobile applications. The choice of channels depends on the target audience, message content, and the organization’s resources.
4 . Integrated Communication: Integration across different communication channels ensures a cohesive and consistent brand presence. Strategic communication involves coordinating messages, design elements, and timing across various platforms to create a unified and impactful brand experience for the audience.
A communication audit is a systematic evaluation of an organization's internal and external communication efforts, including marketing materials, websites, reports, and more. It assesses the effectiveness of these channels and identifies strengths and weaknesses. An audit collects feedback from employees, customers, and other stakeholders through surveys, interviews, or focus groups. It then provides a comprehensive report on what is working well and what needs improvement, along with recommendations to strengthen future communication strategies.
This document outlines best practices for business writing and communication. It discusses the importance of effective communication skills, including reading, writing, listening and nonverbal communication. Global competition, technology changes, and use of teams require higher communication standards. Business writing should be clear, concise, and audience-focused. Formats like emails, reports, presentations, proposals and plans are examined. Cultural awareness and ethics are also important aspects of business communication. Overall, the key is to understand audience and purpose, and apply best practices across all formats of business writing.

Part 4 Communicating the Change (Due Week 6)An important part.docxherbertwilson5999
Part 4: Communicating the Change (Due Week 6)
An important part of any change project is how the change is communicated to the organization, to the change agents, to the line workers, to the customers, and to the public. Along with media relations issues, communicating change (especially in a publicly traded company) can involve multiple legal and regulatory aspects, as well as personnel and management concerns. Perhaps the single most difficult piece of handling Kotter’s “establish a sense of urgency” is that too many inexperienced or immature change agents read this to mean “panic the troops.” Never do this.
This project piece will have 3 parts:
A. The main part of your project this week will ask you to pick ONE of Apple Inc and Kodak’s change plan, and develop a communication plan for the company. This plan should be submitted by using an excel spreadsheet attachment, setting out the Stakeholders, the timeline of the communication plan, the method of communication, the rationale for why you chose this method of communication, the purpose of the communication and identifying “who” will do the communicating.
B. Pick ONE of the communication pieces which you would have used which is listed in your communication plan, and write the communication in a Word document (either the text or the script, if the communication would have been oral.) If you use any form of communication from templates you find online or in a textbook, be sure to cite your source. Your instructor will grade this based on how well it relates to the audience/stakeholder group to which it is intended.
C. The “real world” aspect of this project is that you will write a 1-2 page analysis of one of the media pieces about one of the company’s changes written (or provided via oral media) by the company. For this section of the project, please analyze any media, news, or other communications which explained the change going on in the organization. Explain in your paper how the company handled communicating the change to its stakeholders.

Course Assignments
In this course, you are expected to write a 6–10-page research paper, outlining a communications
outreach campaign. The paper will also form the foundation for your voiceover PowerPoint
presentation, which is due in Module 7.
You may select one of two options to complete your paper:
Option 1
Think about the health care organization you work in, or an organization in your community with which
you are familiar. Assume that you are a mid-level manager and want to implement an outreach
campaign to target a particular group that is not accessing your services. You want to develop a
communications plan to create awareness of and cultivate buy-in for the service. An example might be
making hospice services available to the Native American community. You will need to present this plan
before your Board of Directors for approval. The fiscal climate is challenging, so you will need to use
available data to develop an evidence-based persuasive paper.
In your paper, you must address the following areas:
Describe the organization, including services provided and service region.
Describe for the board of directors the target group you want to bring in. If you are targeting a
particular service or product for the group, describe that as well.
Include demographic data for the region served by the organization, with particular focus on
current numbers and projected increases for certain cultural groups, if any. You may look at
many facets of culture here, including but not limited to ethnicity, race, age, socioeconomic
status, or gender. This data can be found on your state’s health department website.
Identify current communication technologies that you plan to use for this target group, and
explain your choices. If you cannot find a technology that is culturally or environmentally
appropriate for the group, explain why and describe other ways to reach out to the group.
Provide a rich and detailed description for your communication campaign to the board and
request approval. Your presentation should “sell” the Board on the communications campaign
for the target cultural group using what you consider to be the best currently available
technology.
Option 2
Think about the health care organization you work in, or an organization in your community with which
you are familiar. Assume that you are a manager for a hospital surgical unit and want to implement an
outreach campaign to market the availability of a new medical procedure, such as a heart, liver, renal,
bariatric, neurological, or other surgical procedure. You want to develop a communications plan to
create awareness of and cultivate buy-in for the service. An example might be robot-assisted cardiac
surgery. You will need to present this plan before your Board of Directors for approval. The fiscal climate
is challenging, so you will need to use available data to develop an evidence-based persuasive paper..
Ask Michael E. Mark about his company’s procedures for making a big .docxrandymartin91030
Ask Michael E. Mark about his company’s procedures for making a big capital investment, and he is likely to refer you to the Flextronics International Corporate Policy Manual. It has 80 pages – all of them blank. Although Marks is Flextronics’ chairman and CEO, he says he sometimes lets subordinates such as Humphrey W. Porter, the head of Flextronics’ European operations, do multi-million dollar acquisitions without showing him the paperwork. He disdains staff meetings at his San Jose (Calf.) headquarters, and he refuses to draw up an organization chart delineating his managers’ responsibilities.
One might think Marks’ style is too casual for a growing conglomerate. This is a giant that owns dozens of factories scattered over four continents and has big contracts with some of the most demanding corporate customers on earth, from Cisco Systems Inc. to Siemens. In recent years it has acquired manufacturing plants, design firms, and component makers in the United States, Europe and Asia. It also has landed huge manufacturing contracts with Motorola Inc. and Microsoft Corp.
As Marks sees it, the business of global contract manufacturing is all about speed. The time it takes to get a prototype into mass production and onto retail shelves across the globe can determine whether a leading-edge digital gadget succeeds or flops. And with the Internet and corporate makeovers rapidly reconfiguring entire industries, Marks thinks it’s a bigger sin to miss important opportunities than to make a mistake or two. So he doesn’t want to tie down his top managers with bureaucracy. One of Marks’ favorite dictums: “It’s not the big who eat the small. It’s the fast who eat the slow.”
So far Marks has managed to craft the right balance. A Harvard MBA who had run several small electronics makers, Marks helped engineer a takeover of Singapore domiciled Flextronics in 1993, when it was nearly bankrupt. After turning the company around, he began to rebuild. Flextronics became a favored supplier to companies like Cisco, 3Com, and Palm. Flextronics is poised to become the world’s second-largest contract manufacturer, after Milpitas (Calif.) based Solectron Corp. Beside the industrial parks in Hungary, it also has huge manufacturing campuses in Mexico, China and Brazil.
The basketball hoop hanging in Marks’ modest, somewhat disheveled office seems to sum up his self-image. Marks is a passionate player – even though he stands all of 5 ft. 2 in. Likewise, in the business world Marks seems determined to prove a point. One way or another, he’s convinced he can retain the agile management style of a start-up, while making Flextronics a global enterprise that can play in the big leagues.
1. Based on your reading of the case, describe Marks’ leadership process, style, behavior and the text term that best defines it. Do you think he is successful because of or in spite of his leadership approach?
2. What leadership theories covered in the chapter.

Nurses should advocate for policy issues by getting involved in lobbying. The American Nurses Association believes it is nurses' responsibility to advocate for patient safety, care standards, and healthy work environments. Nurses can make a difference by participating in professional organizations, staying informed on issues, and contacting legislators. When lobbying, nurses should keep messages short and focused, build relationships with legislative staff, and time requests appropriately in the legislative process.

Asian American ResearchHello class, I hope this finds you all we.docxrandymartin91030
Asian American Research
Hello class, I hope this finds you all well!
For this week and the last we have been looking at an overview of Asian American Theatre, some of its origins, traditions, the rise of xenophobia against specific yet different Asian cultural groups, and Asian immigration over the last 150 years, as well as a brief look at where this culturally specific kind of Theatre and cinema stands today nationally and more locally with respect to the kinds of stories that are being told that are from an Asian P.O.V. as well as the actors that are cast to play these roles in the last 80 years of cinema, television and theater.
Consider your own overall outlook, knowledge and familiarity (including from our class) with Asian history in the U.S. and the potential struggles that Asian Americans have endured in the last century(s) with the mass migrations in the middle of the 1800’s, the struggle of the Gold and Railroad industries, the rise of wars and conflicts that set Asian Americans and immigrants against the prevailing attitudes in the U.S. about race in the last 150 years.
Looking at the Asian American experience in the U.S. is important as we consider the building blocks of our nation, with railroads, industry, wars, working and labor rights, internment camps during WWII, the deep culture of education and rich traditionalism that is so socially important to the overall history of this group of study, and the important contributions that we as a society have enjoyed from key figures in Asian American history.
We can all speak with a certain level of experience and knowledge, either directly or indirectly, to what we think would be important elements and issues to discuss within the Asian American culture.
Your assignment for this week is to research our topic of Asian American Arts and find an article or video link that deals with this topic in some way and then respond to it with a response paper.
This can be topics of:
1. The Issue of "Yellow Casting" and it's affects on modern Cinema
2. Insufficient roles for Asians in Cinema, T.V. and Theatre
3. Pay gap for Asian actors compared to white actors,
4. How many of the common stereotypes that we discussed are still seen and expressed in film and TV. today.
5. Highlighting an Individual Artist and their impact on pop culture and elevating Asian culture in some way:
- Director(s)
- Actor(s)
- Playwright(s)/Screenwriter(s)
- Any article or video you feel are relevant to our topic and this assignment that
you can write a reaction to in line with this assignment
Please upload your link with your 2-3 page reaction paper. (double space / MLA format)

Asian Americans had been excluded from entering the U.S. for more th.docxrandymartin91030
Asian Americans had been excluded from entering the U.S. for more than half a century through the litany of anti-Asian immigration legislation passed in the years (1882, 1917, 1924, 1934) leading up to WWII. How did the 1965 Immigration Act (Hart-Cellar Act) change this situation? Why have so many well-educated Asians immigrated into the U.S. after the passage of this act? To what extent will Asian immigrants continue to enter the U.S. in the 21
st
century? Drawing upon evidence presented in the course reading (Fong's chapter), make a case that Asian immigrants will continue to come in a steady pace to the U.S., or slow down significantly, or halt altogether.

Education and Technology
The benefits of technology cannot be denied in how they help students getting their work done both in and outside of the classroom. Technology also saves students time by helping them submit their work when it’s due. Even with these great benefits, using screen-based-devices can distract students from staying focused. Handwriting notes is more efficient than typing it because the notes will be more specific. In this essay, I will discuss the benefits of screen-based-devices in education and their disadvantages. I will discuss a potential policy which California State University Long Beach should adopt in order to prevent students from multitasking and staying focused on getting one task done at a time. Administrators and instructors should develop ways to help students stay engaged in class by providing them with a productive environment for learning with the use of screen-based-devices.
Students who try to multitask can’t get things done in a timely manner since their brain can’t process two different things at the same time. According to Dr. Adam Gazzaley, who is a neuroscientist at the University of San Francisco, the prefrontal cortex faces challenges when the brain tries to process multiple tasks at the same time. Studies show that the brain works in harmony with the prefrontal cortex when one task is being accomplished. However, as soon as students start multitasking, the right hemisphere and left hemisphere of the brain are forced to work independently which stops them from getting things done on time. However, if they focus on doing schoolwork or taking notes individually from start to finish, they won’t be worried or concerned about checking their devices. In order for the prefrontal cortex to process things in harmony with the rest of the brain, students should minimize the use of screen-based-devices while they are in class or doing homework so that they can get tasks done on a timely manner.
Another disadvantage about screen-based-devices is the ability to retain information during lectures. Students spend the entire class time taking notes on their electronic devices without paying full attention to the material being taught. I have experienced this issue myself when I would be taking notes during class, and when I went home to study. I had a hard time understanding my notes because I didn’t spend as much time paying attention during class. With some professors drawing diagrams or not having uniform notes, I would not be able to copy down the information on my screen-based-device as quickly or in a manner that would make as much sense as what the professor wrote on the board. I also would get distracted as soon as I received a notification from either Facebook, Twitter or when I receive an important email. I would often find myself switching from one screen to another and oftentimes forget that I am in class. It came to a point where I prefer.
Ashford Graduate Intro Week Six Discussion Two 2 Examples.docxrandymartin91030
Ashford Graduate Intro Week Six Discussion Two: 2 Examples
Example One:
The purpose of this discussion is to compare and contrast a popular mainstream article
on cyber bullying with an article on the same topic in peer-reviewed scientific literature.
Cyber bullying is certainly a very important issue in the modern world, where we are, in
many ways, more connected and able to interact with each other technologically than ever
before. With the overall volume of social networking among youths and adolescents up, the
dangers posed by online abuse and bullying has come to the forefront in public awareness
and has become a topic often discussed in the mass media. With multiple high profile cases
of adolescents committing suicide as a result of constant cyber bullying, it is clear that the
issue is a serious one with deep psychological effects.
The two articles used in this discussion are a USA Today article by Robin Erb, entitled
Social-media abuse rampant in middle, high school, and an entry from a 2013 edition of
the Journal of Youth and Adolescence entitled, Cyber bullying and internalizing
difficulties: Above and beyond the impact of traditional form of bullying.
The most striking difference between the two articles can be found in the use of
language. The USA Today article is well-written, but it is done so in a manner that is
clearly intended to be easily consumable for both parents and potential young readers. The
scholarly article, naturally, is much more matter-of-fact and is clearly not designed for the
casual reader, void of the colorful language and first-person accounts heavily featured in
Erb’s piece. For instance, terms such as “throwing shade” are mentioned, and one quote
reads, “teenagers have these squishy little half-formed brains” (Erb, 2015). This use of
casual language is not brought up to belittle the article in any way, because it actually is
written in a way in which the average reader is much more likely to read the article to its
completion and also more likely to understand the content once they are finished than is the
more complex journal entry. However, for someone who is truly interested in the topic and
wants to explore it more fully, the journal entry provides a much deeper insight into the
psychological effects of cyber bullying and how those psychological effects correlate with
real-world consequences. It also brings up a few factors and concepts that are not openly
discussed in the USA Today article, such as the fact that evidence shows that “students
who are cyber victimized are less likely to report or seek help than teens who were
victimized by more traditional means” (Bonnano & Hymel, 2013, p. 695).
Perhaps the most important commonality between these two articles, besides the overall
topic itself, is the intent of the work. While the information is disseminated in a very
different manner, the overall message may be the same. Both articles are meant to bring .

The Morrill Land-Grant Acts had the most significant positive impact on students' access to higher education. This is because this act made it possible for the new states in the west to put up colleges for their students. The institutions that were established gave a chance to a lot of farmers and other working-class people who could not previously access higher education. Since the land was the most readily available resource, it was given for these states to establish colleges. According to Christy (2017), even though some individuals misused the earnings from those lands, the Morrill land-grant Act gave the foundation of a national system of state colleges and universities. Finances from the lands even helped existing institutions, helped build new institutions, and other states were able to charter new schools.
Grutter v. Bollinger & Gratz v. Bollinger had the most influence in shaping how higher education institutions recruit and retain students from diverse backgrounds. This is because this ruling recognizes the benefits of diversity in education and validates any reasonable means which can be used to achieve that diversity. The verdict is even supported by a lot of studies which show that student body diversity promotes learning outcomes, and 'better prepares students for an increasingly diverse workforce and society…'" (The Civil Rights Project, 2010). Grutter vs. Bollinger laid a foundation for the diversity we see today in universities and colleges. Garces (2012) asserts that in our current world, which is diverse, access to higher education is what determines our legitimacy and strength. This all has been made possible by the Grutter v. Bollinger & Gratz v. Bollinger. The ruling helped break down stereotypes and for students to understand others from different races.

Spring 2019
Writing Assignment 3
In this assignment, you must select a topic, condition, or problem related to ‘water, sanitation, and hygiene’ or climate change that you consider to be a global health priority. This priority needs to be specific rather than a general concept such as ‘climate change.’
After describing the issue and justifying why it is a priority, design a health intervention to address the issue. The intervention must include at least two components: an educational component (e.g. dealing with beliefs and behavior); and an infrastructure or policy component (for example new construction, policy to limit emissions, etc.). For each component, state what you would do as well, why and how your intervention would have an effect, and how you would measure success (e.g. increasing handwashing rates).
You are encouraged to use visuals to help explain your intervention or to provide examples of your interventions. If you use images from the internet, please provide the website where you found the image.
Make sure that you address the ‘who, what, where, when, and why’ issues in both your justification as well as your proposed intervention. For example, do you focus on areas that lack access to adequate sanitation versus places where the quality of services may be an issue? Do you focus on areas that are at highest risk of climate change impacts, or areas that contribute the most to greenhouse gases? Do you focus on urban or rural areas? For the educational component, do you provide ads on tv, billboards, or in schools? Do you focus on adults, teenagers, or children? Do you propose policy at the global or national level?
You must include at least one unique source for each section of the proposal (justification, education/behavior, infrastructure/policy). You may use the same author or institution for each section (such as the World Health Organization), but the documents must be unique for each part. Please make sure that you identify the source of any information you use by using in-text citations (e.g. the WHO (2016) states…), and well as identifying any direct quotations with quotation marks (“”).
Topic:
Justification: (approximately 200 words)
Educational / Behavioral Component: (approximately 300-400 words)
Infrastructure / Policy Component: (approximately 300-400 words)

In the article Immigration and Livelihood, 1840s to 1930s, the key reason why the Asians moved to the United States was to look for jobs. The Asians were desperate for jobs and were ready to work even if they received low salaries. On the other hand, their employers loved the situation since they made a lot of profits. The first Asians to enter the United States made it through the Manila galleon trade. “An act for the governance of masters and servants” (Chan, 1991 p25). However, other communities felt as if the Asians brought competition, which could result in a reduction of job opportunities. Some of these were the Euro-Americans employees who saw the Asians as their competitors. Others were the nativists for all levels who were aggressive to them since they stopped them for restless reasons to prevent their coming.
Azuma Introduction tells that people who were born in Japan and later on shifted to America for studies had the right to express their views without any restrictions. Both the Tateishi and the Hoashi had not gotten a chance to become leaders in the Japenese colonist community, and they were not even recognized in America. “East is West West is East” (Azuma, 2005 p9). However, their routes were not highly valued compared to their expressions, especially during their times. These two communities had the capability of offering their shared predicament comprehensibly in public. Linking with the article on Mercantilists, Colonialists, and Laborers, the dilemma of these communities living through the claimed the separation for the East-West separation and linked binaries. The article also concentrates on the global history of Japanese immigrants and the procedure of creating the racial process. Additionally, the collective impacts of the organizational and figurative regulators control the experience of a marginal group that was viewed as a racial project.Chapter one talks about theoretical groups and how they are confusing. There was considerable confusion on whether the Japanese who relocated to the United States were there to colonize the U.S, or they had just come as immigrants. “Going to America” (Azuma, 2005 p23). The difficulty categorized the historical course of Japanese relocation to the United States as a varied nature of the early Issue community. It is clear that later on, after the Japanese had shifted to the United States, they implemented their capitalist economy, which brought more confusion concerning the issue of immigration and colonization. Therefore, this was one of the intercontinental histories of Japanese immigration in the American West, which brought about the contradiction issue.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

MGT 550 Milestone Three Rubric feedback: Good job, Manuel!
External Communication: Medium(s): While you share a lot of
great information on communication and ways to disseminate
information through different channels, it is not clear to me
what medium RIM is actually using. You discuss a media
statement, what is that exactly? Is that similar to a press
2. release? More detail on the actual medium being used would be
good.
External Communication: Audience: This is written well and
captures your external audience well.
External Communication: Conflict: These are thoughtful
examples of conflicts. Good job!
MGT 550 Milestone Two Rubric feedback: Overall, good job,
Manuel!
Internal Communication: Message: While your internal message
looks good, I do not see where you have explained the change
management principles that were considered in its development,
supported by text and other scholarly sources. I am also not
clear on how the memo will be disseminated to employees?
Your description states that the Sr. Leadership will receive an
email. Since they are cc'd on this memo, are we also emailing
the memo to employees as well?
Articulation of Response: Always double check your work for
grammatical errors. There are a few misspelled words and an
incorrect citation.
MGT 550 Milestone One Rubric feedback: Overall, this is a
great start, Manuel. Flesh out a bit more of the details regarding
the communication goals.
Introduction: Context: Your introduction context shares a lot of
good information both in relation to the RIM situation and in
clearly indicating which issues will be addressed.
Introduction: Communication Goals: While you discuss the
goals of the communication and the share the audiences, I do
not see much detail on the actual message or channels to be
used.
Articulation of Response: Double check your word usage. Did
you mean to use synonymous rather than anonymous?
3. MGT 550 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a strategic
communication case study.
Effective communication skills are critical to success in almost
all managerial positions. Several challenges exist surrounding
the creation and implementation of
effective communications both internally (inside organizations
between individuals and groups) and externally (outside
organizations with markets, partners,
and other third parties). Technology, change, and the various
needs of stakeholders are just a few of the concerns that impact
business communications. This
course is designed to help you communicate effectively in a
variety of business settings with both internal and external
stakeholders. Effective communication is
a necessary tool for managing people and organizations.
In this project, you will enhance your skills and knowledge of
techniques in various communications to lead change, develop
and maintain relationships, and
address sources of conflict through effective communications
tied to organizational goals and core visions. Through the
development of a strategic
communication case study, you will gain comprehensive, hands-
on experience in evaluating and constructing communications
that inform, persuade, and
influence intended audiences in order to achieve strategic goals.
Using the provided case study, you will identify issues that
must be addressed from an
organizational perspective. Additionally, you will make
4. informed decisions regarding what actions to take, paying
particular attention to appropriateness of
communications and mediums, as well as evaluating
effectiveness. To access the final project case study, “Research
in Motion: Sincerely, a RIM Employee (A),”
refer to the MGT-550 Textbook/Case Study Bundle mentioned
in the syllabus.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be
submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold
learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules
Three, Five, and Seven. The final product will be submitted in
Module Nine.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the
following course outcomes:
address a variety of audiences
promote
strategic goals
principles for supporting employee development
communication for informing appropriate next steps
ct for determining appropriate
communication response techniques for internal and external
stakeholders

Introduction
An organization is bound to experience a crisis at one
point in its existence. The manner in which the organization
manages the disaster will determine the success or failure of the
organization. Communication is an essential tool in an
organization. It is through communication that organizations
find it easy to coordinate their activities. Conversely, there is
no better time when organizations need to be effective in
communication than in times of crisis. In many instances, when
an organization is in crisis, there is confusion since many
people may be attempting to do what they think is in the best
interests of the organization. Unfortunately, their efforts may
not be coordinated, and that may end up having adverse effects
on the ability of the organization to manage the crisis.
Communication plays an integral role in crisis management to
the extent that it makes sure that all the stakeholders are
reading from the same script, and that all of the stakeholders are
25. moving toward the same direction (Coombs, 2014). In the
absence of effective communication, there will be confusion,
and that will have adverse effects on the organization.
Company History
Research in Motion is a Global telecommunications company.
In 2011, the company’s co-chief executives found themselves
facing a serious crisis which needed them to take actions to
prevent the company from experiencing a further decline in
market performance. The previous year, the company had faced
one of the most challenging times when it had a decline in its
market share while its stock price also experienced a serious hit.
In this particular crisis, one of the senior executives in the
organization addressed a damning anonymous letter which
revealed some of the weaknesses and cultural problems of the
company. The letter questioned, among other things, the
leadership style of the organization, the organizational culture
as well as the product development systems in the company.
The anonymous senior executive offered personal insights and
possible solutions which could be used to bring back the
company to its lost market standing. While the letter was
addressed to the executives of the company, it was unfortunate
that the letter got leaked and it was picked up by an online
technology news provider referred to Boy Genius Report. The
contents of this letter were later published in an online article
of Boy Genius Report, thereby exposing the weaknesses of the
company to the public (Thecasecentre.org, 2012).
Further, the letter seriously exposed the leadership weaknesses
of Research in Motion. The co-chief executives of the company
were under pressure to find out the best ways to address the
public over the issues addressed in the letter. Most importantly,
since it was evident that they were being questioned by their
employees, the co-chief executives had to find the most suitable
approaches to communicate with the employees internally. It
was necessary for the co-chief executives to assure the employ
the most suitable mechanisms to address the problems
internally.
26. The specific problems to be addressed
There are two specific problems which need to be addressed in
this case study. The following is an illustration of some of the
problems which would have to be addressed in this case study;
Change the perception of the outsiders concerning the problems
facing company; form the case study, it is apparent that the
company has come from a difficult financial year which was
characterized by poor performance in the market as well as
dwindling share prices. When this letter went public, it affected
the reputation of the company in the market since it exposed its
weaknesses to outside parties. Thus, it is necessary to execute a
communication strategy which will restore the reputation of the
company in the market (Ulmer et al., 2017).
Address the confidence and faith of the employees in the
leadership of the organization; from the letter, it is notable that
the employees have lost faith in the company and its leadership.
To some of the employees, the leadership is prepared to address
the ills facing the company. Besides, it would be helpful for the
organization to carry out communication, which would address
the concerns of the company. Most importantly, it would be
necessary to make the employees understand that the leadership
is aware of the challenges, and it is taking necessary steps to
address them (Coombs, 2014).
Communication goals
There are two primary targets of this communication exercise.
The first target is the employees of the organization. The second
target of this communication is the outside stakeholders of the
company, including clients, suppliers and partners. Among the
employees, the communication goal is to reassure them that the
organization is doing whatever is possible to address their
concerns. However, communication also seeks to help establish
a communicating structure between the leadership and the
employees (Coombs, 2014). Apparently, the employee might
have written the synonymous letter because there was no
alternative communication channel which he could use. Another
27. goal of communication is to provide an opportunity for the
employees to understand the operations of the company. It may
be argued the employee who had a problem with the product
development and employee culture of the organization did not
have an adequate understanding of the operations of the
company. Nonetheless, the main goal of outside communication
is to rebuild the image of the company. The publication of the
contents of the letter had caused a serious dent to the image of
the company, and it was necessary to rebuild it.
The mediums of communication applicable
There are two primary mediums of communication which will
be used in this communication. One of the mediums is memos
while the second medium is the use of emails. The main purpose
of using memos is because it is capable of being used to reach a
wide range of audience. For instance, since it will be necessary
to communicate with all employees about a wide range of
concerns, the use of memos will be most appropriate. When a
memo is used, it is possible to summarize the information in
such a manner that will make it easily accessible to all the
employees. One of the advantages which makes the use of
memos suitable in this case is that memos are easy to produce,
and they are also easy to read since they are not loaded with
many words (Guffey & Loewy, 2012).
However, since there are only a few senior executives working
for the organization and it would be possible to reach out to
them. The most suitable medium for reaching senior executives
is the use of emails. At their level, it would be possible to draft
emails which will be directed at each senior executive. The first
benefit of this medium is that it will affirm to the senior
executives that the management recognizes their rank and status
in the organization. Additionally, the use of emails allows
senior executives to provide immediate responses to
communication.
Targeted audience
For this internal communication, there are two primary targets
of communication; employees and senior executives. The issues
28. arising from the leaked letter to the management concerned
mainly the employees and the senior executives. A critical
examination of both the executives and the employees reveal
that they have unique features and cultural dispositions which
determine the interaction among them (Thorson & Moore,
2013). Firstly, it is important to note that not all employees
speak the same language. While a significant majority of the
employees have English as their first language, it is also notable
that there are many employees who are not English speakers.
Thus, when making internal communication, it would be
necessary to make sure that there is consideration of the
interests of these groups. Perhaps it would be necessary to
consider translating the messages or using simple language for
the benefit of the employee who does not have English as their
first language.
The message
MEMO
TO: All Employees
FROM: Co-Chief Executive Officers
CC: Senior Executives
DATE: 27.06.2019
SUBJECT: Clarification on Employee Concerns
Research in Motion (RIM) has been one of the most effective
companies in the industry for the last decade. In an environment
which is a highly competitive industry, there is a reason which
has made the company stand out among its peers. It is through
sheer determination and commitment to the highest standards of
quality and innovation that the company has managed to stand
tall in the industry. Besides, the stable leadership which the
management has shown has provided a favorable environment
for the growth of the company. Although it is notable that the
company has in the recent years lost a little ground to its rivals
with regards to market share and share prices, there is no reason
to suggest that the county is heading south. While appreciating
that the recent performances do not indicate the direction which
the company wants to take in its growth agenda, it is notable
29. that the challenges are not insurmountable. In a letter which has
been circulated in various online platforms, there has been a
projection that the company is directionless and disorganized as
a result poor leadership, unsuitable organizational culture as
well as the product development problems.
Concerning these accusations leveled against the company, we
have the following to say; we have the following to say;
Firstly, in the face of the massive growth which RIM has
experienced in the last few decades, it is not fair to say that
there is poor leadership. Perhaps the accusation concerning poor
leadership arises from the fact that the company has lost some
economic and competitive ground in the last few years. It is
important to note that the performance of an organization in the
market is determined by a wide spectrum of political, economic
and social factors. Thus, it would be very shortsighted to place
the blame on the management. Throughout the time when this
company has existed, the leadership has always desired to make
decisions which it feels best serves the interest of the business.
In many times, the decisions have been favorable, but there are
also times when the decisions may fail to achieve the desired
objectives. These challenges do not mean there is poor
leadership. We would like to assure you that the leadership is
steadfast and has an unwavering commitment to take this
organization to the next level.
The organizational culture of RIM has also come into sharp
focus. Just like many other aspects of the business, the culture
of the organization has always kept changing. The management
realizes that as times change, it becomes necessary to lead a
cultural change which would make sure that the culture in line
with the contemporary environment in which the organization
operates (Schein, 2010). It is true that the leadership
appreciates that there could be problems with the organizational
culture which could have been responsible for the poor
performance of the organization in the recent past. However, the
cultural problem is not so massive that it could be a cause for
concern to the organization. The leadership is currently
30. adopting a wide range of measures to influence the development
of an organizational culture which would enable RIM to
enhance its competitiveness in this ever-changing environment.
While appreciating that the employees may at times have
concerns with several issues in the organization, it is, however,
essential that employees must use the most appropriate ways or
mediums to relay these concerns to the concerned authorities.
The leadership of RIM has an open-door policy, which means
everybody with concerns is free to knock any door and present
grievances without having any disciplinary action taken against
him. The adherence to the proper communication channels will
not only protect the image of the company, but it will also make
sure that solutions to the challenge are found in time.
Needs and Development
During the development of the message, it was important
to consider the levels of professional training of the employees.
One of the primary challenges which are responsible for the
disorganization of most organizations is poor training on a wide
range of organizational processes. While employees may be
skilled in their various fields, it is possible that they may not
have an adequate understanding of the mode of operations in the
organization (Cohen, 2017). For example, in the case of the
senior level executive who authored the anonymous letter, it is
possible that an individual may not have understood
organizational processes. Thus, when developing the message, it
was necessary to understand that a significant number of
employees may not understand the organization. Besides, it was
considered that when the employee accused the organization of
having a poor organizational culture, the individual may have
been new in the organization and as a result, may not have had a
clear understanding of the foundations of the culture of the
organization (Rao, 2002). As a result of this, it was essential for
the message to clearly demonstrate the process of cultural
development in the organization and the way it has served the
organization.
Support
31. As the organization goes through this period of transition, it is
possible that employees may be affected in a certain way. Thus,
the organization has taken several steps to make sure that it
helps the employees through the critical transition phase.
Firstly, the organization has clearly provided a communication
channel which employees may use to seek any clarification. It is
important to note that poor communication is one of the factors
which lead to confusion and despair among the employees
(Cadon, n.d). Through effective communication, it is possible to
address the concerns of the employees and help them settle in
the organization. Besides, the organization is embarking on a
continual training of employees to improve their exposure to
current trends.
Potential conflicts arising from the communication
One of the potential sources of conflict arising from
communication is the possible misinterpretation of the
communication by the recipients (List, 2011). Among the people
who accessed the message through the memos, it is not possible
for them to seek clarification. Thus, each recipient is entitled to
interpret the message in his way, and that can cause a
misunderstanding and a subsequent conflict.
External Communication
Effective external communication serves as a critical strategy
when it comes to proper crisis management. For-profit, as well
as non-profit organizations in present-day society should adopt
and incorporate effective communication frameworks in their
operations; given they remain subject to a great deal of public
scrutiny. In essence, the 21st century remains characterized by a
wide range of complicated and multifaceted crises, which
require any given organization to take a comprehensive
approach to developing appropriate and result-driven external
communication strategies. Typically, an efficient crisis
management plan must factor in a seamless external
communication framework because the manner in which an
organization manages disasters determines its success or failure.
32. In this case study, the various instances of failure show that
Research in Motion (RIM) is in a crisis, which can only be
addressed or solved through an effective external
communication framework. The communication model should
be developed and implemented in manner that it aptly manages
the situation facing the company’s external stakeholders. In
particular, the company’s external communication should go a
long way in assuaging the fears of its customers and other
stakeholders, such as suppliers and service providers (Ahmed,
2018). A proper external communication channel will ensure
that the intended message reaches the target audience and works
towards improving the company’s already tainted public image.
Medium
RIM can utilize a variety of communication channels with the
sole purpose of disseminating information to the public and all
other responsible stakeholders. Most importantly, these media
possess different characteristics, as well as scope, meaning the
company should place great emphasis on identifying and the
most appropriate and effective medium. In this respect, RIM can
achieve this by evaluating how each of the media performs
regarding the target audience, costs, and the conveying the
intended message. In other words, some external communication
channels tend to enhance convenience and reliability, especially
when tasked with the responsibility of delivering information to
a given audience. On the same note, the cost incurred
determines the type of external communication media to use.
Although some communication methods are more effective than
others, communication experts associated with successful and
international firms have so far recommended the need for using
at least two media as way of dealing with or handling any given
organizational crisis. According to Burdstrom (2018), this
multidimensional and pragmatic approach allows a firm to
benefit a great deal from the strengths of each channel. Sensibly
speaking, the use of different media plays a leading role in
creating communication synergy, which, in turn, presents an
organization with the opportunity to reach a broader audience
33. base. In this way, the company in question can quickly
disseminate the message in an efficient manner.
RIM should convey the intended message by considering and
using external communication channels. In essence, the
company can effectively disseminate its position regarding the
leaked letter to the management. The firm should make this
consideration; given the rapidly developing information and
communication technologies and social networking sites and
associated platforms. Change-driven companies from across the
globe are increasingly becoming digitized as they have and
continue to embrace social media, Facebook, Snapchat, and
Twitter to communicate with their customers. Information
technology (IT) is fast revolutionizing the communication
sector with billions of people interconnected through these
platforms. The increased uptake of the internet and the use of
computers have enabled customers to quickly gain access up to
date information about the various developments and trends in
the corporate world (Hall, 2014). In this sense, RIM should
prioritize the use of their website in disseminating information
to external stakeholders. For instance, the company should
create a statement on its website and other social media handles,
highlighting issues facing the firm, the interventions it has put
in place, as well as the way forward.
The use of online platforms in the dissemination of information
is advantageous on numerous fronts. When compared to
traditional communication channels, such as TV, radio,
billboards, and letters, social media networking sites are
relatively cheaper. Second, the use of Facebook and other social
media platforms would play a fundamental role in ensuring the
company reaches the target audience because the leaked letter
reached the platform through the same media. Therefore, using
the same medium to counter the narrative and set the record
straight gives the company an equal opportunity to pass its
message to its external stakeholders, especially those who might
have been adversely impacted by the letter. Moreover, that the
use of online platforms in disseminating information would
34. enable the company reach its millions of customers from
wherever they are in the globe (Lazzari, 2018). Concisely,
social media has globalized external communication.
In addition to social media, RIM should make a comprehensive
media statement on local and international print and electronic
media. In the statement, the company should identify, state, and
respond accordingly to each of the issues raised by employees
in the leaked letter. Equally important, the management should
examine and make necessary changes to the statement before it
goes public as a precautionary measure; avoiding errors and
omissions. The media statement will allow RIM to respond to
the various issues affecting the company and reassure its
customers and other stakeholders of the initiatives it is
undertaking to remedy the situation. A media statement helps
the organization to formally narrate its story to the public,
which helps in controlling the situation. Hall (2014) argues that
an organization can manage a crisis by going ahead of the
damaging story. Accordingly, the whole process of arresting the
situation allows the firm to shape the narrative of the ongoing
crisis and remedy the image of the company.
Target Audience
In the case at hand, the target audience for the external
communication comprises the company’s existing and potential
clients, shareholders, service providers, and the general public.
In particular, RIM is currently facing a crisis that has led to
poor share performance in the stocks market and reduced
profits. The leaked letter to management highlighting the
leadership deficiencies in the organization has had had a
negative impact on the company's corporate reputation. With the
perception among shareholders that the company is being poorly
managed, the RIM’s share prices have decreased significantly
because individual investors have lost confidence in the
company. Besides shareholders, the general public and potential
investors shied away from the company’s shares as it seemed
that the company was experiencing significant leadership and
organizational challenges. In his recent article, Ahmed (2018)
35. corroborates that investing in a business with significant the
identified management and performance problems serves as a
severe risk that both short-term and long-term investors often
consider before investing.
Apart from the identified external stakeholders, the company
should invest in assuring the general public of the high levels of
professionalism and competence that the firm ascribes to. RIM
should make the general public aware of its principles as way of
ensuring people embrace and identify with it the organization.
Cardon (2016) argues that people tend to associate not only
with successful but also socially responsible brands that
promote their ideals and public policy. The general public is a
critical target audience as they are the consumers of the
organization’s products and services. In essence, the company’s
sales volume depends on the level of consumer loyalty. The
relevance of the general public has been reflected by the poor
performance posted by RIM in the recent past as the market
refrained from purchasing its products.
Draft of External Communication
Media Statement by Jones Whitaker about the Leaked Letter to
the Management of RIM
Research in Motion is a dedicated and responsible company
driven by high standards of corporate governance.
The company has learnt of the public dissemination of the
contents of a letter to the management. As an organization, RIM
encourages its employees to continuously critique and make
suggestions of how the organization may improve its operations.
Through this policy, the company has tremendously improved
its capacity and organizational efficiency thereby enabling the
organization to meet its objectives. As such, the leaked letter is
a testament to the expanded freedom of employees to air out
their grievances and highlight areas in need of improvement.
To this end, RIM has forwarded the issues highlighted in the
latter to a special task force, as is ordinarily the case, to
investigate the allegations raised therein. The company assures
its stakeholders that appropriate action will be taken to address
36. these organizational weaknesses, if any, upon receiving the
official taskforce report.
Thank you for your continued support.

Conflicts
One of the anticipated conflicts expected by the issuance of the
above media statement is the possible misinterpretation of the
message. The company's external stakeholders may have
numerous questions arising from the statement because it
appears to take a general approach to conveying the intended
message. In essence, the statement at hand has not identified
any of the issues raised by RIM employees. In this respect,
stakeholders are more likely to demand for clarifications.
Another conflict would result from external stakeholders’
relationship with the already appointed special contact person
tasked with the responsibility of to conducting further
interviews and queries. Other players might have difficulty
developing and maintaining the much-needed rapport with the
contact person thereby keeping crucial information. Cardon
(2016) has noted with a great deal of concern that this type of
misinformation might compel stakeholders to not fully
appreciate the company’s efforts in addressing the various
issues highlighted in the leaked letters.
