You have just been promoted from front-line supervisor to be one of the firm’s senior managers. During your business education, you learned that the primary role of a manager is to make good decisions. As a supervisor, you had frequently been making routine decisions, but you realize that decision making for the overall company can and will have far greater impact on the company and its employees.

Your boss, the chief executive officer (CEO), realizes that you do not have much practice in this higher level, decision-making process and has asked you to write a memo describing your understanding of how to make important decisions.

Your memo should address the following questions:

Describe at least 3 criteria that would determine whether the manager is making good decisions. What should be done to better assure that you are making a good decision?
In the realm of decision making, what are assumptions? Rather than use a dictionary definition, cite several specific assumptions that would go with any real-life decision you have made or have seen made at a company at which you have worked.
Given the importance of proper assumptions, your boss asked you to assess the accuracy of certain business assumptions and what could you do to test or confirm the credibility of them. The following were major assumptions for each firm:
An automobile manufacturer’s assumption that the demand for SUVs would continue because gas prices would continue to rise
An airline’s assumption that there was a need for an airline that provided no added amenities

ALL ORIGINAL WORK ONLY!! USE INTEXT CITATIONS WITH CREDIBLE SOURCES ONLY!!!

 

Assignment 3: An Interview of Your Choice

 

Complete the assignment presented below.

 

In order to really learn about interviewing, you must practice doing interviews. There is no substitute for direct experience in learning about interviewing. This assignment will be the first of several interviews you conduct during this course.

 

Find a volunteer to role-play a client. The purpose of this assignment is to introduce you to the experience of formulating questions and gathering information during a clinical interview. You are not expected to have mastered these skills in week 1 nor even by the end of this course. Clinical interviewing is a skill that requires a lot of practice and years of training.

 

Here, you will simply interview the volunteer who is role-playing a client that is having trouble at work. Be sure to develop a plan for the interview ahead of time. What is the purpose of your interview?  How will you achieve that purpose?

 

**Be sure to follow the ethical guidelines you have read about, including competence, confidentiality, and informed consent. The interview should be at least 10 minutes in length but no more than 20 minutes.**

 

After you complete your interview, provide a thoughtful discussion of the following:

 

Based on the Air Force training of OJT, using AFI 36-2201.

Given the changing employee demographics and rapid updates to technology, it is important for organizations to link training and development to the needs and preferences of its workforce. Training facilitates acquisition of new knowledge and skills, and development facilitates the ability to handle future responsibilities. Continual training helps ensure that employees have the skills, information, and motivation required to successfully achieve organizational objectives.

Based on the company you chose for your discussion question this week, create a

10-15 slide PowerPoint presentation which includes the following:

Summarize the current organizational training program.
Explain why you believe the organization’s current training model is effective or ineffective
Present an idea for a new training program or component to the existing training program which would promote employee engagement
Explain why the new program or component would be effective
Describe the desired outcomes of the new training program/component

The speaker notes section should be used to provide an explanation of each slide. APA format should be followed.

The Introduction: Wild pigs, also known as wild hogs or feral pigs, were introduced into the Americas by Spanish explorers in the 1500s. Currently, feral pigs are prevalent in 36 states and sites in 47 states. Most wild pigs originate from escaped domestic pigs and some introduced wild boar, which will freely hybridize. So what’s the problem with invasive species in general and wild pigs in particular?

The Objective:

Discuss invasive species and ecosystem restoration.

The Link:

Feral Pigs Running Wild

The Questions:

Topic 1-The Pig as an Invasive Species. Please answer all of the following:

Why is the feral pig considered an invasive species?
What characteristics make the pig a successful species?
What efforts are underway to prevent the spread of the feral pig?
What is the potential for feral pigs to carry and spread disease? Choose one of the diseases and explain the disease, how it is spread, and why it should be a concern.

Organizational development (OD) interventions are generally described as planned change processes that take into account both technical and human psychology aspects of the organization. Interventions are defined in your readings within four categories: human process interventions, techno-structural interventions, human resource management (HRM) interventions, and strategic change interventions. For this assignment, you will analyze two interventions and offer your recommendations in a 3- to 5-page report.

Directions:

In 3 to 5 pages:

Using the Argosy University online library resources, identify a category of organizational development (OD) interventions that is of particular interest to you for research.
Identify and explain two interventions conducted in organizations between 1990 and the present year within your category of interest along with the results. Be sure to find interventions representing different time periods and industries.
Explain both technical and psychological aspects of the two interventions.
Identify the issues, processes, theories, and business outcomes of the interventions.
As an organizational development (OD) practitioner, recommend one improvement that would now be appropriate for the organization to consider in an effort to continuously improve. Justify your recommendations.

Your final product will be in a Microsoft Word document of approximately 3 to 5 pages. You will utilize two to four scholarly sources in your research. Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Confronting issues in globalization is a daunting task but it cannot be avoided for anyone living or working in the 21st century.  Today’s business models of Multinational Corporation’s stress the importance of ‘sustainability’ in the global supply chain’ and ‘maximizing global efficiencies’.  These concepts are complex and require a supported network of integrating mechanisms to successfully sell a product that is consumed across the globe.

This project allows you to experience a practical application of the effects of globalization.  You will select a product that you currently use in your home and through an analysis of its manufacturing, sourcing, and sales demonstrate those issues in globalization that affect the product and customer and develop business strategies to address them.

First, find a product you have in your home which is sold in multiple countries.  In order to select this product, look for items that bear markings of multiple countries.  This marking may include references to ‘distributors’, ‘licensors/licensees’, or manufacturer’s with ‘made in’ or ‘made of’ references.  You may also see wording on these products such as ‘Assembled in [country name] from US components’.  Products marked ‘Made in the USA’ may not be used for this project.  These product markings may be in multiple languages.

Next, consult the company web site to see if they have manufacturing or raw material supply operations in two or more countries.  If you select a US company that is publicly traded, you will find this in the 10-K report that they file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Do not write a paper about an existing company but make one up yourself.  You may use a current business that you’re familiar with to model your own company after.

Before starting to write your paper, you must get an outline approved by your instructor.  You will find a dropbox for submission of this outline.  Your outline must include a short description of your product, the country or countries selected to analyze, and an overview of the issues in globalization that you will explore.

It is critical that your paper include what proactive measures your company would undertake to address the risks or challenges in globalization that you have identified.  Be creative, original, and make sure to be very comprehensive in your analysis and evaluation of what issues in globalization impact your company and what solutions you have developed to address those concerns.

At minimum, your paper should be a minimum of 10-15 pages (not including the cover sheet or references but you may exceed that limit without point deduction.   Your final project must be submitted in Microsoft Word, be formatted using the APA style, double-spaced, minimum of 12 inch font, and contain adequate references to support your analysis.

 

At minimum, your project will contain the following sections:

1. Company background and industry
2. Explanation of the product
3. Customer demographic and profile who consumes your product
4. A detailed explanation of the operations performed in multiple countries.  For example, Toyota Motor Corporation of North America has a automobile manufacturing corridor which spans a from sourcing and/or manufacturing of auto parts in Mexico, to an automobile factory assembly plant in Texas, through distribution of after-market products in North and South Carolina.  You will find some products or industry have like manufacturing corridors.
5. Identify any incentives or subsidies provided by host countries to support the manufacturing operation.
6. Analysis of the corporate strategy to maximize global efficiencies.  Examples in this areas may be how the company uses offshoring to support ‘lean manufacturing’ or outsources certain parts of labor for production of the final product.
7. Identification and discussion of the economic integration policies that the involved countries have formed to support manufacturing, sourcing, and marketing of your product.  An example might be the country or countries have joined a common market such as Mercosur, common market formed between some countries in South America.
8. Identification and discussion of any free trade agreement/agreements used by the company to facilitate the movement of the product internationally.
9. Identification of any controls used in the labor markets that would subvert attempts to unionize or manage regional wage rates.
10. An analysis and evaluation of any economic impacts to the communities where manufacturing operations take place.  Your research will probably identify advantages and disadvantages in the host or home country/countries.  An example of an economic impact would be the loss of tax revenues or tax grants from a home to a host country.
11. An analysis and evaluation of any environmental damages in the manufacturing area.
12. An analysis and evaluation of any intellectual property issues that have occurred through doing business in multiple countries.
13. An analysis and evaluation of any laws impacted by the effects of globalization in this industry
14. An analysis of any significant changes to the company’s business model that you can find based upon the effects of globalization.
15. If your country or industry is represented is impacted by any programs, policies, or charters underway through WTO or NGO actions.
16. A closing to your paper which outlines your personal opinion of the effects of globalization for your product.
