In this final unit, we introduce you to the kind of coursework and writing assignments you will be tasked with during the remainder of this business-management program. Just as in the first four units, reading, critical thinking, and strong writing skills are critical to your success!

Once you have carefully read the entire Read section, return to p.18 and re-read the section titled, Business Dilemma, “You’re the Manager … What Would you Do?” regarding Mrs. Acres Homemade Pies. Then answer the following questions below.*

*Please note that EACH question must be answered in a minimum of 200 words. To ensure you reach the word count, break each essay down into at least three paragraphs, with an intro, a body, and a conclusion. Don’t forget to write your work in Word or Google docs, checking carefully for anything underlined by Spell Check and Grammar Check, before pasting your responses. Make sure you cite the reading, in-text, with each sentence that reflects research, even if you are paraphrasing. Avoid direct quotations, please! The correct citation, in this case, will be (O. Ferrell, Gatewood, L. Ferrell, & Taylor, 2010). To create a reference list, use this format:Author Surname, First Initial. Second Initial., Author Surname, First Initial. Second Initial., & Author Surname, First Initial. Second Initial. (Year). Book title: Subtitle.

Q#1. In a minimum of 200 words, and at least three paragraphs, describe in detail the dilemma facing Mrs. Acres Homemade Pies.

In a total of 750-1,000 words, explain how someone from the culture you have been studying is likely to handle interpersonal conflict (according to cultural conflict ethics).

• Create a hypothetical conflict or describe a recent conflict situation in which an individual or group from the culture you have been studying was involved.

Be sure to write out the details of the conflict as communicated by the source of the story and give a consultation for how to resolve/manage the conflict.

• Based on your research in intercultural conflict and the conflict ethics/styles of the cultural group, explain why the conflict arose. Explain how the ethics or expression of conflict was influenced by the individuals’ culture/worldview.
• Write out a consultation outlining what the communicators in the conflict scenario need to know, or do, to best handle the conflict.
• Also include one recommendation that comes from the Christian Worldview, or scripture.

Be specific in your recommendations and justify them with scholarly evidence (when you justify, explain what ethical considerations should be taken into account when handling the situation described in the case study). Two academic sources are required for the consultation.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit the case study and the consultation to Turnitin. Refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

This assignment measures the following competency: Comp 4.1: Evaluate the connection between ethical communication and different worldviews.

The Course Objective we directly address through our discussion is, “Understand ways that social media tools can enhance learning, collaboration, and connectedness between and among students, faculty, and alumni..” Our text said it well: “Any technology or software can be used for good or bad.” (p.115) Since the topic of bullying (and cyber-bullying) have been the subject of news stories, lawsuits, and educational efforts, we will see how social networking have been used for bad – then good. Find a news story about a negative use of social media. What happened? Which social media were used (or abused) in this case? Were laws broken – or policies violated? Okay, once you have addressed the negative side of the topic with a specific example, share ways that social media were used to expose the evil and/or promote healing. What happened? Which tools can be (or were) used to enhance learning, collaboration, and connectedness among stakeholders? Please explain.

You may find a site like the New York Times subject index on social media to be helpful (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/s/social_media/). We also have excellent tools through our library – including librarians.
