Week 3 Discussion – Due

Jul 29, 2020 11:59 PMMCJ6405 Organizational Leadership SU01

Scenario

The discussion assignment provides a forum for discussing relevant topics for this week on the basis of the course competencies covered.

For this assignment, make sure you post your initial response to the Discussion Area by the due date assigned.

To support your work, use your course and text readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Start reviewing and responding to the postings of your classmates as early in the week as possible. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ initial postings. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Cite sources in your responses to other classmates. Complete your participation for this assignment bythe end of the week.

Scenario

You are the chief prosecutor heading an office with a number of assistant prosecutors, support staff, including paralegals and interns. Your paralegals are well-trained in legal research and in building databases for trials. You have to compile data on cases relating to the death penalty as part of a new tracking program that has been implemented by the state’s attorney general’s office. This is an unfunded mandate that does not provide any additional funds or resources to your office to establish a database. The project requires that you analyze cases prosecuted by your office over the previous 50 years, focusing on issues of racial and economic disparity.

Your assistant prosecutors seem to feel that data collection is mechanical work, fit only for fresh interns. However, you view it as an activity that is too important to delegate to your part-time interns or your paralegals without strong supervision.

Therefore, you decide to assign this duty to two of your senior prosecutors. They will have to devote 50 percent of their time to building the new database and performing the required analysis. You have chosen two prosecutors with the most experience prosecuting capital cases, knowing that they will be most familiar with the data. However, neither prosecutor has a strong background in data collection or computer-based statistical analysis. Both have expressed reservations about overseeing the project.

  • Which strategies do you think are most effective for influencing employees to undertake new tasks? Why? Assess the advantages and disadvantages of these strategies in the context of this scenario.
  • Should you use rational persuasion or the tactic of exchange strategy to influence the attorneys you selected for creating and maintaining the new database? Why? Explain how you might combine both, if necessary, to achieve the desired objective.
  • What are the inspirational appeals you could make to the attorneys? Explain. Will inspirational appeals work better than pressure tactics? Why?
  • As a leader, was it appropriate for you to select the two attorneys who would be assigned to this project? Would it have been better to request volunteers? Do you think this would lessen the need to persuade employees to take on this additional responsibility? Would the use of the paralegals change the dynamic as well as the work assignments?
  • How much credence should leaders give to employees’ expressions of concern over assigned tasks? Under what circumstances might it be inappropriate for a leader to continue to apply persuasion tactics with employees who appear resistant to performing certain tasks?
  • Which combination of the various proactive influence tactics would be most successful in influencing the staff? Why?

Support your responses with adequate research and supporting data. Review and comment on the submissions of at least two of your classmates by the end of the week.

Cite any sources using APA format on a separate page. Let’s learn how to cite sources using APA guidelines.

Due Week 4 and worth 140 points

According to the text, crime has been part of the human condition since people began to live in groups. Ancient documents indicate that conduct we now call murder, theft, or robbery was identified as criminal by civilizations that existed thousands of years ago. Criminal laws regulate human conduct and tell people what they can and cannot do and, in some instances, what they must do under certain circumstances. In this assignment, you will explore different types of criminal conduct and the goals of criminal law.

Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you:

  1. Determine whether or not the Ex Post Facto Clause can be used as a defense to prohibit the increase in federal minimum/mandatory sentencing guidelines after a federal defendant has committed the crime. Provide a rationale to support your position.
  2. Explain the distinction between criminal, tort, and moral wrongs. Next, support or criticize the premise that the standards set by moral laws are higher than those set by criminal law.
  3. Identify and discuss the differences between solicitation of another to commit a crime and a conspiracy to commit a crime. Next, support or criticize the use of the unilateral approach to conspiracy convictions.
  4. Identify the four (4) goals of criminal law, and discuss the manner in which these four goals effectuate the purpose of protecting the public and preventing the conviction of innocent persons.
  5. Use at least three (3) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar types of websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • This course requires use of new Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different than other Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details.
  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow SWS or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Describe the nature and history of American criminal law.
  • Explain the role of individuals and federal, state, and local government agencies in crime fighting and prosecution of criminal offenses.
  • Analyze the essential legal elements of criminal conduct.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in criminal law.

Gathering background information is critical for producing records, reports, and other criminal justice documents. Not only does your presentation of the information need to be clear and concise, but the information should be gathered from reliable and credible resources.

Imagine you have been asked to complete an executive summary on a criminal justice policy related to recidivism rates, gun control, victimization, or any other criminal justice topic of interest to you. Consider how you would get started to begin gathering your research. What places would you visit to gather your data? Examples include United States Department of Justice databases, journals, and general databases.

By Day 4 of Week 9

Juvenile Delinquency (Criminal Justice Area of Interested)

Post an explanation of the criminal justice area you are interested in that you have been working on since Module 2.

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapters 1, 2, and 3 from the Wager, Lee, & Glaser (2017) text and the article by Campanella et al. (2016).

Understanding the role information systems play in health care is essential to the success of health care professionals. Data and information share a common thread; they work together to facilitate decisions. In health care, they can mean the difference between life and death. Both data and information assist in providing quality health care.

Participate in one of the following discussion subtopics as directed by your instructor on or before Day 3 of the course in a 300-word initial post.

  • Evaluate the different types of data and/or information consumed by health care organizations as it relates to patient health technology.
  • Compare and contrast the role of data and information in planning, include how data and information are implemented, managed, and accessed.
  • Assess an issue related to health care data that illustrates why data quality is important.

In this assignment, you will have the opportunity to apply concepts in a situation emphasizing alignment of external competitiveness with the organization’s ongoing recruitment efforts.  XYZ, a construction company, has recently obtained a large project that requires them to hire 15 experienced welders in Casper, Wyoming.  Casper has very few welders locally so XYZ needs to recruit welders who will relocate to Wyoming for the duration of the project.  XYZ is not familiar with compensation methods for welders and is unsure how to design a compensation plan that will be attractive to welders.  Determine the problems XYZ might encounter in developing a competitive compensation plan that will attract welders to work for their company in Casper.  Propose how XYZ should begin the process of establishing a competitive compensation plan for welders and the techniques and data collection methods they should use to develop an effective compensation plan for the welders.  Write your initial response in 3-4 paragraphs

Assume you are leading a team of consultants hired by MPBS to help develop their total compensation plan.  MPBS wants to implement a compensation plan to support their business strategy. Your team has completed the preliminary review of the organization, including discussions with management, and compiled initial information about MPBS.  That information is detailed in the team report.  MPBS views their mission statement as the driver behind the alignment of policies, purposes and objectives of all operating units in the entire organization.   Your first task is to help the human resources department create a compensation mission statement as the first step in designing their compensation plan.  You are to consider the various factors affecting mission statements and objectives and then: •Recommend a specific compensation mission statement and the specific objectives of the MPBS compensation system that aligns the compensation plan to the company’s mission and strategy.  Provide a rationale to support your mission statement and objectives.  Your second task is to overcome the past reluctance of top management at MPBS to have anyone put much effort into administrative detail.  They have generally opted for a quick and easy approach to policy and practice.  You should plan to educate the top management group regarding the need for more sophisticated and detailed approaches to compensation.  To do so, you must include answers to the following questions that were posed by the new HR manager.  Justify your responses using scholarly sources. •What are the relevant markets that each of MPBS’s major occupational groups should be compared to? •Should MPBS lead, match, or follow competitors? Why? •How will decisions on external competitiveness help MPBS align compensation policies with mission and strategy? •Why is it important and is it worth the effort and cost for MPBS to bother with specifying pay grades and pay ranges? •If pay grades are used, is it better to have few or more grades?   •How should the ranges vary by job type and level? •How much overlap should be built into the grade ranges? •In what ways might the plan MPBS develops and the related compensation policies impact job performance?  To complete this assignment, write a 5–7 page report in Word format and provide rationale and scholarly support.   Apply APA standards for writing style to your work.  By the due date assigned, deliver your assignment to the Submissions Area.     Assignment 2 Grading Criteria   Maximum Points   Developed compensation mission statement and objectives that aligns the compensation plan to the company’s mission and strategy  20   Determined the relevant markets for each major occupational group.  16   Rationalized whether MPBS should lead, match, or follow competitors and why.  16   Examined how decisions on external competitiveness will help MPBS align compensation policies with mission and strategy.  16   Explained why it is important and worth the effort and cost to specify pay grades and pay ranges.  20   Determined whether it is better to have few or more pay grades.  16   Assessed how the ranges should vary by job type and level.  16   Explained how much overlap should be built into the grade ranges.  16   Evaluated the ways in which the plan and related compensation policies might impact job performance.  20   Written Components: Organization (12) Usage and mechanics (12) APA elements (16)  Style (4)  44   Total:  200    Attachments           Submissions
