Week 7 Discussion Various studies have shown that organizational effectiveness and culture have a high level of correlation. The cultural modeling in an organization defines it from competitors and may actually serve as an advantage. Quite the opposite is also true. Drawing from your experience as an organizational citizen, share your thoughts on the topic of organizational culture using professional life experience examples. Some things to consider might include: · If you have tenure in your firm (greater than 10 years) share your insights on cultural transformations you have experienced. · If you were part of an acquisition (either side of the equation) how was the cultural disconnects addressed? · For those of you with international experience how do you address cultural differences within your own organization? · What does your firm do to insure all international members recognize the requirements set forth by the corporate team? · Finally do you see a gap in your personal values with your current professional culture? What is your strategy for this gap? While it is not expected that everyone as experienced all of these, hopefully each of you will have experienced at least one. If not, share what you have experienced related to organizational culture and how this week's readings have provided new insights on those experiences. Reference: McShane, S. L., & Von Glinow, M. A. (2015). Organizational Behavior (7th ed ). New York: McGraw-Hill. Discussion Response 1 By D,W I am lucky enough to have seen some very interesting situations within my career at various companies. While at FTD, I have been lucky enough to see the company be part of a large acquisition. When I came on board to FTD, there was discussions centered around the idea of acquiring a company that is located in San Diego. The company was considered to be one of our competitors and would lead to a greater market share while also allowing FTD to become a luxury brand and allowing the new company to be centered toward the value market. A few months later, the company began that process of acquiring this company. Senior leadership had no past experience with acquisitions and early struggles took place in integrating the two teams. Additionally, because of the lack of experience with major mergers like this, there was no internal discussions or training to prevent employees from feeling that major layoffs were coming. For many in the company, they had been around and seen a major layoff take place years before. Nothing was done to prevent these feelings from returning and people began to worry. Finally, after eight months, the company began having both companies take part in town hall meetings with one group being brought in by web-conferencing. Slowing the teams began working together. From my prospective, I was part of the team that worked with San Diego’s finance team. The company also brought in programs like Skype in order to get both companies to talk with each other. .

Why Does This Matter?

In many business situations, you hope to persuade others. In internal business communications, you may want your boss, peers, or colleagues to consider or adopt your ideas when their perspectives differ from yours. In external business communications, you will want to persuade your clients, customers, and prospects to use your products and services. Persuasion involves influencing others to see the merits of your ideas and act on your requests, even when they initially resist. In this chapter, we explore strategies for persuading others through writing.
In some ways, all business messages contain an element of persuasion—that is, you are hoping to influence the way others think, feel, or behave. Many of the concepts in this chapter will enhance your ability to make any kind of request. However, the approaches in this chapter are most applicable to situations in which your audience will initially resist your requests.
Throughout this chapter, you will see examples of persuasive messages at Better Horizons Credit Union. The chapter case provides the background.

Case Study 1
Several large organizations announced recently they would increase efforts to recruit persons of color, in part a response to the Black Lives Matter movement. Some of the same organizations made similar announcements in the past—yet the numbers of persons with minority backgrounds in those organizations have remained about the same.
This is in the face of research findings that organizations with significant minority representation are stronger than their peers. A McKinsey & Company study in May of top executive teams in more than a thousand organizations in 15 countries concluded that the most diverse organizations have an edge in their markets. These firms are “more innovative—stronger at anticipating shifts in consumer needs and consumption patterns that make new products and services possible, potentially generating a competitive edge.”
Of equal significance is a finding that the top third of the organizations in the study are pulling away from the other two-thirds in diversity and inclusion, registering increasingly higher probabilities of being the most profitable. They are exhibiting progress in achieving greater gender and ethnic diversity, and increasingly positive impacts on bottom-line performance, according to the researchers.
Differentiating between diversity and inclusion
I differentiate between diversity and inclusion by thinking of progress in diversity as depending primarily on successful recruiting of diverse talent. It can be measured. It’s what we see on the corporate dashboard of performance measures. It is quite likely that the rich get richer in this effort; organizations exhibiting greater diversity are more attractive to talented people with diverse backgrounds.
Talent retention depends to a large degree on inclusion. At least that’s what people of diverse backgrounds tell us. Inclusion is related to such things as “voice”—the belief by workers that they are heard—as well as recognition and equal opportunity in rewards and promotions. Harder to quantify than diversity, inclusion is more nuanced and measured in comments in interviews and surveys. It doesn’t provide the numbers and simple headlines often associated with diversity.
Some organizations are good at both diversity and inclusion; others can’t seem to get either right. Some companies, for example, are strong recruiters but lack the ability to be inclusive of talent with diverse backgrounds. Try as they might, they are not making progress on diversity. Instead, they have low retention rates for their diverse talent. In many cases, the “last in, first out” phenomenon may apply in times of crisis.
The key to achieving both diversity and inclusion is committed leadership at all levels, not just a few at the top who have already made it. Transformation has to take place on the front lines and the middle levels as well. This takes effort and time, perhaps more than many organizations are willing to invest.

Leadership for 2015 - A Dove Nest Thought Paper
This document discusses leadership needs for 2015. It identifies 7 key competencies needed for modern leaders: 1) Challenging the status quo and having the confidence to speak up, 2) Enabling others to challenge as well to foster reflection, 3) Aligning organizational values, structure, culture and people to achieve goals, 4) Adapting to constant change and complexity, 5) Making decisions with incomplete information and being accountable, 6) Developing talent and succession plans, and 7) Role modeling the behaviors needed to lead change. Effective leadership in 2015 requires challenging assumptions, aligning all levels of the organization, and guiding others through an uncertain environment.

Approaching Diversity with the Brain in Mind
Leaders may think that awareness programs are suitable for addressing unconscious bias, but they are just the start. Raising awareness of unconscious bias through presentations and tests does not actually change behaviors or outcomes. To effectively address unconscious bias, organizations need to focus on changing behaviors through shared knowledge, language to discuss biases, and structural approaches like requiring diversity in hiring panels. The most effective strategies are concrete rules and policies that change outcomes by increasing minority applicants and representation, rather than just focusing on awareness.

Diversity And Its Impact In An Organization
Diversity and inclusion in the workplace leads to improved business outcomes. Companies with diverse executive teams are more profitable - those with gender diverse teams are 33% more likely to outperform, and those with ethnically/culturally diverse teams are 21% more likely. However, organizations often fail to implement diversity initiatives effectively and sustain them over time. To ensure diversity and inclusion, companies must define their goals, develop mentoring programs, address unconscious biases, empower learning, and take measurable steps like auditing their spaces and policies. Sustaining initiatives requires ongoing efforts like community involvement and taking stands on important issues.
Diversity and inclusion
#Diversity and #Inclusion - How can companies move from talking the talk to walking the walk?
In recent days Diversity and Inclusion have come to the forefront of what companies are paying attention to even in the midst of a pandemic.
Starting from hiring and promotion practices to processes to the branding offering and more companies are looking at ways to make D&I more real for their employees.
How can we take it from a vaguely abstract concept (to most people) to very concrete steps?
Conflict In Organisations
The document discusses the concept of organization, defining it as a group of people working together to achieve common goals. It also outlines different levels within organizations from individuals to entire groups and departments. Finally, it examines different theories of organizational structure, comparing approaches like functional specialization versus fewer management levels between top and bottom of the organization.
Pivotal Paradigm Project: Theory Of Change Fall 2020
The document outlines a three stage theory of change for making workplaces more inclusive. Stage one involves conducting an analysis of the organization's culture and climate through staff feedback. Stage two includes specialized diversity trainings designed based on stage one findings, and increased transparency about the organization's diversity metrics and efforts. Stage three focuses on establishing employee resource groups and recommendations for long-term cultural change to sustain an inclusive environment. The goal is for this process to help organizations acknowledge issues, provide education, and implement solutions for truly inclusive workplaces.
Boundaryless Organisation
The document discusses boundaryless organizations, which have no defined vertical, horizontal, or external boundaries and aim to eliminate barriers between different parts of the company and with customers and suppliers. It provides background on how traditional organizations are structured and the problems that can arise. Analysis is also given on how many companies are now crossing boundaries and relaxing barriers to encourage communication and a shared understanding.
FWD50
The document discusses insights from a workshop on lean-agile strategies. It provides several brief statements on topics like:
- Transformation is not a project and requires changing organizational culture and systems.
- Strategy development must involve the entire organization, partners, and citizens through collaboration rather than just seeking buy-in.
- Organizations accumulate debt when existing policies and processes developed for a different time continue without change.
- Shared context is key to distributed leadership, decision-making, and gathering insights across an organization.

Imagining Diverse, Equitable & Inclusive Workspaces: How Employees Drive Chan...Seattle Interactive Conference
Anna Taylor (Speaker) West Coast DEI Lead, VMLY&R
Demographic transference within organizations is shifting and there will continue to be an upsurge of more diverse and inclusive organizations as they outperform homogeneous organizations. But this is a slow progression, where can we start making organizational transformation now? We can start from the bottom; employees have more power than they may realize, to affect change. And although this may seem like a daunting call-to-action, employees have the power irrespective of budget or team size, to make an indelible impact on organizational change. Like many effectual grassroots movements, employees have the ability to create a new model that renders the existing model obsolete and lead the evolution of organizational transformation.Ideas That Work: Extending the Success of Your Innovation Program
Companies that invest in developing strong innovation teams in their core product areas can extend that skill to other parts of the organization. In this eBook, Mindjet's Doug Collins looks at the skills your innovators are now developing and how they can be repurposed and extended.
Integration by tim lindsay
Integration has been discussed in the advertising industry for generations but depends on an organizing principle and shared belief system. While many agencies now promote their integrated capabilities, true integration requires real expertise across disciplines, unified management, incentives based on group performance, close physical proximity, insights to integrate around, and a clear organizing principle and belief system that unites specialists. No agency currently has all the necessary elements fully in place. Digital is driving increased client demand for integration but agencies' ability to deliver joined-up thinking and execution is still developing.
Owba2017 fallnewsletter
This document summarizes an interview with Deborah Platt Majoras, Chief Legal Officer of Procter & Gamble, conducted by Lisa Kathumbi of Bricker & Eckler LLP. Majoras discusses P&G's commitment to diversity and inclusion. She explains how the legal department has specific goals and programs to promote diversity in hiring, mentoring, and leadership. Majoras also discusses how P&G uses its brand advertising to promote discussions on issues like gender bias and racial bias. She believes companies have a role to play in engaging on important community issues.
Agency of the future - beginning the transformation journey
There is a need for some agencies to re-frame the way they look at their need to evolve. Instead of the default thinking being "we need to implement X technology, hire/fire Y person or merge Z departments" they should start asking, "what is really defining the problem space we are now in and what will be the major factors of change moving forward". Only from this point, can a relevant and grounded future be established.

at least 2 references in each peer responses!
I noticed that there are many proposed policies on the agenda that are related to healthcare. Some of them are specific to the nursing practice. This creates the opportunity for the nurse to advocate for policies that impact nursing and healthcare directly by providing first-hand accounts and professional opinions supported by research. Nurses have insight on issues, such as patient safety and satisfaction, health disparities, access to care, and promoting positive outcomes (Abood, 2016).
The problem is that some nurses are unable to navigate through the politics of regulation and policy (Abood, 2016). This can create a challenge and become discouraging for nurses looking to make an impact or promote an agenda (Abood, 2016). Nurses can overcome this difficulty by participating in internships and workshops that provide the opportunity for a nurse to learn about the legislative process and the current issues being discussed (Abood, 2016). Understanding the political process is an essential method for effectively advocate for an issue. Nurses have to learn to play the game to promote change or obtain the scarcely rationed funding available.
According to Milstead and Short (2019), key opportunities to advocate for policy lies in knowledge and perception. Being knowledgeable on an issue can increase your influence as an advocate. Perception is a significant key in politics. Being perceived as a valuable collaborator or obtaining the support of a mentor that is respected can help push your agenda (Milstead & Short, 2019). Networking plays a significant role in politics. being introduced respected mentor or partner can help a nurse gain influence with rallying for support of a proposed agenda (Milstead & Short, 2019).
Probably the most significant opportunity for a nurse to advocate for a policy comes with becoming a member of a nursing association. Nurses associations like the American Nurses Association (ANA) are set up with the mission of influencing policy and advocating for the nurses and patients (ANA, 2019). The strength lies in numbers with the nursing association. Many of these organizations have built relationships with politicians and political parties to gain influence to support their agendas. For example, the ANA tends to favor and support democratic candidates (Milstead & Short, 2019). Nurses associations have enough members to get the attention of lawmakers. However, the nurse still has to task of advocating within the association to gain support from its members.

Her love of chocolates and hot and spicy foods spurred the idea of making hot and spicy chocolates to be sold in creative, artistic tins and packaging, which she labeled Cowgirl Chocolates. Her small business, begun in 1997, had won a number of awards in fiery food competitions. While Cowgirl Chocolates had grown steadily over its four years in business, it still had only generated $30,000 in sales revenue in 2000, which was not enough to cover expenses. Marilyn had drained much of her personal savings to keep Cowgirl Chocolates in business. Her cash accounting methods and record keeping were not very sophisticated although she seemed to have a good sense of her costs in production and raw materials and the packaging. However, Marilyn had taken a shotgun approach to most of her marketing efforts and had tried a number of activities to increase product demand. She allowed herself to make one risky financial move each year in her pursuit of profitability and increased sales. She had just made her one risky move for year 2001: She had taken out a full-page ad in Chile Pepper magazine for $3,000.
Questions
1. The suggested retail price and wholesale prices of Cowgirl Chocolates products are displayed in Exhibit 2 (p. 491) along with the product and packaging costs. Based on this information, discuss the relative merits of using a cost-based, demand-based, and competition-based pricing method. (50 points)
2. What are four (4) options that Cowgirl Chocolates may consider as far as pricing? What would you recommend? (50 points)

Diversity And Its Impact In An Organization
Diversity and inclusion in the workplace leads to improved business outcomes. Companies with diverse executive teams are more profitable - those with gender diverse teams are 33% more likely to outperform, and those with ethnically/culturally diverse teams are 21% more likely. However, organizations often fail to implement diversity initiatives effectively and sustain them over time. To ensure diversity and inclusion, companies must define their goals, develop mentoring programs, address unconscious biases, empower learning, and take measurable steps like auditing their spaces and policies. Sustaining initiatives requires ongoing efforts like community involvement and taking stands on important issues.
Diversity and inclusion
#Diversity and #Inclusion - How can companies move from talking the talk to walking the walk?
In recent days Diversity and Inclusion have come to the forefront of what companies are paying attention to even in the midst of a pandemic.
Starting from hiring and promotion practices to processes to the branding offering and more companies are looking at ways to make D&I more real for their employees.
How can we take it from a vaguely abstract concept (to most people) to very concrete steps?
Conflict In Organisations
The document discusses the concept of organization, defining it as a group of people working together to achieve common goals. It also outlines different levels within organizations from individuals to entire groups and departments. Finally, it examines different theories of organizational structure, comparing approaches like functional specialization versus fewer management levels between top and bottom of the organization.
Pivotal Paradigm Project: Theory Of Change Fall 2020
The document outlines a three stage theory of change for making workplaces more inclusive. Stage one involves conducting an analysis of the organization's culture and climate through staff feedback. Stage two includes specialized diversity trainings designed based on stage one findings, and increased transparency about the organization's diversity metrics and efforts. Stage three focuses on establishing employee resource groups and recommendations for long-term cultural change to sustain an inclusive environment. The goal is for this process to help organizations acknowledge issues, provide education, and implement solutions for truly inclusive workplaces.
Boundaryless Organisation
The document discusses boundaryless organizations, which have no defined vertical, horizontal, or external boundaries and aim to eliminate barriers between different parts of the company and with customers and suppliers. It provides background on how traditional organizations are structured and the problems that can arise. Analysis is also given on how many companies are now crossing boundaries and relaxing barriers to encourage communication and a shared understanding.
FWD50
The document discusses insights from a workshop on lean-agile strategies. It provides several brief statements on topics like:
- Transformation is not a project and requires changing organizational culture and systems.
- Strategy development must involve the entire organization, partners, and citizens through collaboration rather than just seeking buy-in.
- Organizations accumulate debt when existing policies and processes developed for a different time continue without change.
- Shared context is key to distributed leadership, decision-making, and gathering insights across an organization.

Demographic transference within organizations is shifting and there will continue to be an upsurge of more diverse and inclusive organizations as they outperform homogeneous organizations. But this is a slow progression, where can we start making organizational transformation now? We can start from the bottom; employees have more power than they may realize, to affect change. And although this may seem like a daunting call-to-action, employees have the power irrespective of budget or team size, to make an indelible impact on organizational change. Like many effectual grassroots movements, employees have the ability to create a new model that renders the existing model obsolete and lead the evolution of organizational transformation.Ideas That Work: Extending the Success of Your Innovation Program

Integration by tim lindsay
Integration has been discussed in the advertising industry for generations but depends on an organizing principle and shared belief system. While many agencies now promote their integrated capabilities, true integration requires real expertise across disciplines, unified management, incentives based on group performance, close physical proximity, insights to integrate around, and a clear organizing principle and belief system that unites specialists. No agency currently has all the necessary elements fully in place. Digital is driving increased client demand for integration but agencies' ability to deliver joined-up thinking and execution is still developing.

Agency of the future - beginning the transformation journey
There is a need for some agencies to re-frame the way they look at their need to evolve. Instead of the default thinking being "we need to implement X technology, hire/fire Y person or merge Z departments" they should start asking, "what is really defining the problem space we are now in and what will be the major factors of change moving forward". Only from this point, can a relevant and grounded future be established.

I noticed that there are many proposed policies on the agenda that are related to healthcare. Some of them are specific to the nursing practice. This creates the opportunity for the nurse to advocate for policies that impact nursing and healthcare directly by providing first-hand accounts and professional opinions supported by research. Nurses have insight on issues, such as patient safety and satisfaction, health disparities, access to care, and promoting positive outcomes (Abood, 2016).
The problem is that some nurses are unable to navigate through the politics of regulation and policy (Abood, 2016). This can create a challenge and become discouraging for nurses looking to make an impact or promote an agenda (Abood, 2016). Nurses can overcome this difficulty by participating in internships and workshops that provide the opportunity for a nurse to learn about the legislative process and the current issues being discussed (Abood, 2016). Understanding the political process is an essential method for effectively advocate for an issue. Nurses have to learn to play the game to promote change or obtain the scarcely rationed funding available.
According to Milstead and Short (2019), key opportunities to advocate for policy lies in knowledge and perception. Being knowledgeable on an issue can increase your influence as an advocate. Perception is a significant key in politics. Being perceived as a valuable collaborator or obtaining the support of a mentor that is respected can help push your agenda (Milstead & Short, 2019). Networking plays a significant role in politics. being introduced respected mentor or partner can help a nurse gain influence with rallying for support of a proposed agenda (Milstead & Short, 2019).
Probably the most significant opportunity for a nurse to advocate for a policy comes with becoming a member of a nursing association. Nurses associations like the American Nurses Association (ANA) are set up with the mission of influencing policy and advocating for the nurses and patients (ANA, 2019). The strength lies in numbers with the nursing association. Many of these organizations have built relationships with politicians and political parties to gain influence to support their agendas. For example, the ANA tends to favor and support democratic candidates (Milstead & Short, 2019). Nurses associations have enough members to get the attention of lawmakers. However, the nurse still has to task of advocating within the association to gain support from its members.

Dr. Joubert and colleagues, the study of leadership has developed, giving forth new theories and structures that explore the description of what it means to be a leader, and how to carry out the same effect. It would be pragmatic to note that one is not made a leader by a job title but through practical impact in. The situational theory is one such theory that can be effective in the medical field. This theory, often referred to as the Hersey-Blanchard situational leadership theory, suggests that no single leadership theory style is the best. However, Researchers and developers of leadership theories have not agreed on the leadership theories (Duggan et al., 2015)
.
Nursing leadership is a multidimensional concept. The nursing profession involves role model leaders that can transform their environment and leading their teams to succeed by overcoming obstacles. Situational leadership requires the leader to transform their leadership style to meet the followers' leadership needs (Marshall & Broome, 2017). Developing a single satisfying leadership theory has become problematic due to these phenomena. Leadership style has a direct impact on the quality of care administered by the nurse team. The leadership style defines the quality of the relationship between the leader and the followers and sets the tone and mood of the work environment (Laureate Education, 2018).
Our director of nursing practice a contingency leadership style. Aware of the different dispositions on our team, she treats each nurse based on their abilities and needs. At times, she exercises Laissez-fair leadership, dictatorial, transformational, democratic, and other transformational styles. I was amazed by the approach. It helped to manage the team. For instance, the recalcitrant nurse received warnings, punishment for mistakes, and reward for an excellent performance. These restrained her actions and caused her to develop positive behaviors and care towards patients.
In Addition to the application of situational leadership style, she had leadership characteristics such as charisma, honesty, communication skills, creativity, innovativeness, decision-making, and integrity. Combination of the style and the qualities facilitated leading our team initiatives. to create a leader that we were all revered. According to Calderon-Mafud and Pando-Moreno (2018), organizations experience cultures of flexibility, social support, innovation, an also increased personal confidence, and openness to change. Furthermore, the implementation of an authentic leadership style mostly behaved as a middleman in the organization as it increased work productivity, helped implement staff engagement, and improving job satisfaction.

At least 500 words
Pay attention to the required length of these assignments. These assignments consist of reading a newspaper article about a designated region of the world--specific for each assignment--and writing an essay about it.
Primary sources are documents or other materials such as photographs, art work, coins, tapestries, etc. produced at the time period under consideration. https://library.uncw.edu/guides/finding_primary_sources is a website that gives information on what a primary source is and how historians [or anyone writing about history] use them. Look at the attached file for questions to ask of any source that you would consider a primary source.
For these newspaper article and extra credit assignments you are to find a substantive newspaper article [most newspapers are available online--it must be from a newspaper, not a website only or cablenews organization--NOT yahoonews, not cnn.com, not foxnews, not msnbc--only a published newspaper.] about the region designated for that assignment. If the article you choose is too short you will have trouble doing the assignment. Also, note that if an article is about birds, or insects or any non-human source that is not connected to humanity, it is not appropriate for this assignment. Any good newspaper article is based on sources, which historians would designate as primary sources. So an important part of these assignments is to identify the primary sources used by the author of the article you choose. Primary sources are the building blocks of history. You can think of them like eyewitness accounts or physical evidence produced at the time of an incident or crime being considered in a courtroom proceeding or trial. Without evidence a jury couldn’t make a fair decision in a case. In the same way, without primary sources, history cannot be written--and good newspaper articles cannot be written. So part of this assignment is asking you to decide if the reporter writing the article you select has actually used good primary sources. Does he or she have real evidence and enough of it to write the article? Does the reporter have a particular viewpoint or bias? Could you imagine the article being used as a primary source by a historian in the future for writing history about this time period? How useful would the document be and does it have any weaknesses or drawbacks as a piece of evidence? What else might a historian need, besides the article you are analyzing, to give a more complete or balanced discussion of the topic?
Your assignments will be graded on:
Formatting: 1 inch margins; your name, course number & assignment number [first, second or third] on top of first page. No other information is needed for a heading, and no repeat headers allowed. Following this formatting, cite the author(s) of the article, the title of the article, the name of the newspaper in which it appears [the title of the newspaper should be underlined] and the date of its publi.
At a generic level, innovation is a core business process concerned .docx
At a generic level, innovation is a core business process concerned with renewing what the
organization offers the world and the ways in which it creates and delivers that offering. And
to do this they all need to carry out these activities:
• Searching – scanning the environment (internal and external) for, and processing relevant signals about, threats and opportunities for change.
• Selecting – deciding (on the basis of a strategic view of how the enterprise can best
• develop) which of these signals to respond to
• Implementing – translating the potential in the trigger idea into something new and launching it in an internal or external market. Making this happen is not a single event but requires attention to:
Acquiring the knowledge resources to enable the innovation (for example, by creating something new through R&D, market research, etc., acquiring knowledge from elsewhere via technology transfer, strategic alliance, etc.).
Executing the project under conditions of uncertainty which require extensive problem-solving.
Launching the innovation and managing the process of initial adoption
Sustaining adoption and use in the long-term – or revisiting the original idea and modifying it – reinnovation.
Learning – enterprises have (but may not always take) the opportunity to learn from progressing through this cycle so that they can build their knowledge base and can improve the ways in which the process is managed.
But they differ widely in the ways in which this is done and the importance of different elements.
In this exercise pick a sector – e.g. food retailing, airlines, chemicals, public administration – and draw a map of their particular version of this process. How does it work out in practice? Where are they likely to need or to place most emphasis?

1. If the Solar System had formed right after the Big Bang, it would
have lacked oxygen (O), and therefore water (H2O). Using the solar
nebula theory, describe what would have been most different about
the planet formation process and the planets formed in this alternative
Solar System. [NO MORE than 15 sentences].
2. Halley’s comet is the only-naked eye comet that might appear twice in
a human lifetime (since it comes back every 76 years).
(a) Based on this comet’s orbital period, would you say that it is more
likely to have originated from the Kuiper belt or from the Oort
cloud? [A quantitative answer is expected to justify your choice]
(b) What other orbital feature, besides the comet’s orbital period,
could be used to distinguish its origin [NO MORE than 5 sen-
tences]
3. (a) Collect data on the mass and radius of Earth (made of rock) &
Jupiter (made of gas) and calculate the overall average density of
each planet, expressed in g/cm3.
(b) The density of water that we drink is about 1 g/cm3. Use your
everyday experience to describe the difference in density between
rock, air, and water. [State your answers in terms of “much
more/much less” or “a little more/a little less”].
(c) Is the mean density of Earth consistent with our everyday experi-
ence of similar composition material? What about Jupiter (same
question)?
(d) Propose a physical mechanism that might explain the discrepancy
between the mean density of a planet and the density of similar
composition material as we experience it in our everyday life.

A strategic plan to inform emerging fashion retailers
about social media research and best practices.
2
Proposal Overview
Social media can take the form of various outlets, including, but not limited to: Instagram,
Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, YouTube, etc. Each social media platform has its specific use and
benefits, with a wide range of active users. It is important to note that successful retailers are
using these online strategies to penetrate new markets, to champion for social media
movements, and to effectively develop connections with consumers.
In this social media blueprint, we suggest using Instagram as our company’s main social media
platform. Our primary research examines H&M, Topshop, and Uniqlo’s Instagram accounts and
revealed the importance of using models, creating effective hashtags, and providing customer
service. The secondary research presents the best practices of social media and how the public
and specific individuals view social media. To conclude the proposal, we will provide a
comprehensive strategy that includes a detailed plan with suggestions for a stellar social media
presence.
Primary Research Summary & Key Takeaways
We have compiled the following key takeaways using Instagram. Our primary research includes
a variety of retailers who specialize in different products and promote to diverse markets.
These three key findings will provide an all-encompassing approach which will ultimately tie
into our strategic recommendations going forward.
#1: Using models to showcase the retailer's products increases follower satisfactions. Each one
of our retailers uses this form of posting. The following three pictures are example images used
by retailers to promote their products through outfit modeling. Our retailers provide
consumers with the option to directly purchase clothing, accessories, and shoes via online
portals. These types of posts provide followers with a visualization of how the products will look
once worn, which is part of the purchasing decision many consumers take into account. In
addition, these types of images also provide outfit inspirations when consumers are in need of
assistance with outfit coordination.
(Uniqlo) (H&M) (Topshop)

#2: The use of hashtags connects posts to a broader conversation and trend. Our retailers use
various hashtags that either connected their post to an on-going product line, style, event, or
motto and “catchphrase”. For example, Uniqlo wants to be known for their fashionable, yet
simple clothing. Their hashtag, #simplemadebetter, allows Uniqlo to actively promote the
company’s business strategy of revamping basic clothing to make it ‘better’ quality and more
fashion forward. London Fashion Week is one of the most prominent events in the fashion
industry, known to set the latest fashion trends. The #LFW (London Fashion Week) establishes
Topshop as a brand that is compatible against the haute couture f.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

- 1. Week 7 Discussion Various studies have shown that organizational effectiveness and culture have a high level of correlation. The cultural modeling in an organization defines it from competitors and may actually serve as an advantage. Quite the opposite is also true. Drawing from your experience as an organizational citizen, share your thoughts on the topic of organizational culture using professional life experience examples. Some things to consider might include: · If you have tenure in your firm (greater than 10 years) share your insights on cultural transformations you have experienced. · If you were part of an acquisition (either side of the equation) how was the cultural disconnects addressed? · For those of you with international experience how do you address cultural differences within your own organization? · What does your firm do to insure all international members recognize the requirements set forth by the corporate team? · Finally do you see a gap in your personal values with your current professional culture? What is your strategy for this gap? While it is not expected that everyone as experienced all of these, hopefully each of you will have experienced at least one. If not, share what you have experienced related to organizational culture and how this week's readings have provided new insights on those experiences. Reference: McShane, S. L., & Von Glinow, M. A.

- 2. within my career at various companies. While at FTD, I have been lucky enough to see the company be part of a large acquisition. When I came on board to FTD, there was discussions centered around the idea of acquiring a company that is located in San Diego. The company was considered to be one of our competitors and would lead to a greater market share while also allowing FTD to become a luxury brand and allowing the new company to be centered toward the value market. A few months later, the company began that process of acquiring this company. Senior leadership had no past experience with acquisitions and early struggles took place in integrating the two teams. Additionally, because of the lack of experience with major mergers like this, there was no internal discussions or training to prevent employees from feeling that major layoffs were coming. For many in the company, they had been around and seen a major layoff take place years before. Nothing was done to prevent these feelings from returning and people began to worry. Finally, after eight months, the company began having both companies take part in town hall meetings with one group being brought in by web-conferencing. Slowing the teams began working together. From my prospective, I was part of the team that worked with San Diego’s finance team. The company also brought in programs like Skype in order to get both companies to talk with each other. Unfortunately, the company hasn’t done much more to integrate the two companies. This has been seen by outsiders as a failure of an acquisition as the company had high hopes and has not been able to take advantage of the new market. From an organizational culture standpoint, it is very much the same. The company still has done nothing to give either company the comfort in knowing that they won’t be merged together or removing one of the groups of employees. Recently, the finance team from one of our smaller companies has recently been moved from Illinois out to San Diego which again created the fear within the employees that other positions would be moved there too. While the company has a very tall span of control, “the number of people directly reporting to the
- 3. next level in the hierarchy,” (McShane & Von Glinow, 2015, p 374), as well as employs a divisional structure, “organizational structure in which employees are organized around geographic areas, outputs (products or services, or clients” (McShane & Von Glinow, 2015, p 381) it has led to less communication getting to lower level employees in all departments. Talking with different departments you get different pieces of information because information is sent through different vice presidents or directors within the company. Very rarely does a company-wide memo get sent out. Four times a year, we have town hall meetings where general information is given out. At no point are employees given full view of where the company is headed or what the company is planning next. McShane, S. L., & Von Glinow, M. A. (2015). Organizational Behavior (7th ed ).
