*IMPORTANT NOTE*
This assignment will be submitted to Turnitin® by the professor so make sure no plagiarism.
Thus far in the semester you have been assigned readings and module activities, and more recently have been assigned a major written assignment you must complete by the end of the semester. Each of these, of course, serves a purpose in your learning: the readings and modules provide you with a basic foundation of material in this particular field, while the major written assignment expects you to discover what others (i.e. leading experts in the field) have to say about your chosen topic. This activity, however, allows you to identify a real-world topic or issue from within the field and share it with the rest of the class. Think of it as a college version of “show and tell”.
As is detailed in the syllabus, this assignment can be either a photo essay or a video, produced by the student that highlights an issue pertaining to the public sector and that has a decidedly fiscal management focus. Again, you only have to do one or the other (i.e. you do not have to do both the photo essay AND the video as I have. I produced both merely to demonstrate both approaches). See below for examples of both, as posted by your professor.
The project activity has two components.
Subsequently, the two activity components have different due dates. Be sure to consult the course calendar for exact dates (by semester); however, the due dates follow the general guidelines below.
Note: While the DUE DATE of this activity shows the last day of active classes (i.e. the end of finals week), students must post their project to this portal one week before that date (according to the course calendar). Because this activity has two components (submitting the project and then commenting on the project(s) of others) it necessitates two due dates, which cannot be accommodated by this system.
| This project pertains to an idea I had (but never got the chance to implement) while I worked from 2008 to 2011 as the sole Park Planner for Osceola County. Just prior to my arrival to the Parks Department, the County (in cooperation with the City of Kissimmee, other State agencies, and non-profit entities) purchased a little over 1,000 acres of land along Shingle Creek. Aside from the creek itself, a central component of this new regional park was a recreational trail that proposed to run from Lake Tohopekaliga (near Kissimmee), through the wetlands of Shingle Creek, across the Osceola Parkway into Orange County, where it was to meet up with a similar recreational trail network that Orange County and the City of Orlando were constructing. This new trail offered considerable promise for the multitude of failing businesses found along US-192 in Osceola County, because it was being touted to the region’s policymakers as a state-of-the-art eco-tourist destination. |
| One obstacle to connecting the Osceola County portion of the trail (south) with the Orange County side (north) was the Osceola Parkway – a major, four lane toll road that straddles the county line. Because the land surrounding Shingle Creek is generally swamp land, which is prone to flooding, and because the Parkway sits relatively low in elevation, it was decided that building a path underneath the Parkway was not practical. The alternative, of course, was to take the trail up and over the Parkway by way of a bridge. Such bridges, however, often come with a hefty price tag. For instance, the one shown below, spanning John Young Parkway just north of Kissimmee, cost taxpayers over $8-million. So, as it pertains to this project, this is where the “thrift” comes in. |
| As luck would have it, the Osceola Parkway has but one toll plaza, which just happens to be sited a mere 150-200 yards due east of where the proposed trail exits the park to the south.As is shown in the image to the right, the yellow lines represent the proposed trail alignment, both to the south of the Parkway and to the north. Moreover, the area circled in red shows the site of the existing toll plaza, while the blue circle shows a general location where a new and modified toll plaza could be constructed to serve all stakeholders. |
| Now, noting that the existing toll plaza for the Parkway is becoming antiquated (i.e. it has an express lane for those drivers with toll transponders, but the lane requires drivers to slow to a mere 25 MPH), my thought was that if/when the Expressway Authority decided to retrofit the toll plaza to add free-flow travel lanes (i.e. lanes that don’t require drivers to slow down in order to pay their toll), they could simply shift their site due west and coordinate the construction of the new plaza with the other park entities. | |
| Building a joint-use plaza that accommodates trail users above and motorists below could save millions of dollars for both agencies. The Parks folks would not have to construct a full bridge, as the trail would rest atop the plaza. And, the Expressway Authority would have a good deal of their construction costs deferred, as they would be shared by the Parks Department. Moreover, the small carbon footprint of the facility (i.e. the fact that less permeable surface area (ground) would be covered by concrete could qualify this as a “green” project because of the lessened adverse environmental impacts. |
OK, the material above was created as an example of what a project might look like, should a student decide to use only photos and text. The following embedded videos, however, were shot to provide students with an example of what you can do, using a simple cellphone camera. Please note: I’ve used the most basic technology – as if I were a student. While I have access to UCF’s state-of-the-art video editing software and hardware, I’ve nonetheless decided against using that, as I want to encourage and convince you (the student) that this project can be completed with relative ease.
To start, know that it took me less than an hour (including travel) to complete this short series of videos for this project. Sure, they are a little rough around the edges (…yours won’t be, however) but as I mentioned above, I wanted to demonstrate what could be done on short notice with a regular cellphone.
L & H Construction Company was a general contractor involved in the renovation of the Thomas Edison historic site in West Orange, New Jersey, for the National Park Service. L& H contracted with Circle Redmont, Inc., which is based in Melbourne, Florida, to make a cast- iron stair-case and a glass flooring system. Redmont’s original proposal was to “engineer, fabricate, and install” the staircase and flooring system.
What If the Facts Were Different?
Suppose that Redmont had intentionally misled L & H to believe that installation was included in the price. Would the court’s decision on the mutual mistake issue have been different? Discuss.
The Economic Dimension
The parties performed as agreed, with Redmont working on schedule and L& H making on schedule and L & H making timely payments, until the issue of installation arose. Assuming that no further disputes arose, what might be the appropriate remedy?
Analyze specific countermeasures for each of the below threats
1) Malicious software
2) Poor management of third party entries
3) Outdated security software
4) Social engineering
5) Environmental threats
Requirements:
The paper should include a minimum of five peer-reviewed scholarly references published since 2015 and should be a minimum of 2000 words with no plagiarism please.
Theme 1: Helping a business to create a competitive edge among competitors is a crucial job of the manager
Organizational Theory
Competitive advantage in the 20th century was created by making quality products and services faster, cheaper, and moving them quickly around a town, state or nation Business organizations in the 21st century must continue to produce goods and services faster and cheaper than its competitors; however, unlike the 20th century, competitive advantage is gained only when a business can customize the goods and/or services to meet customer demands and have them delivered around the world Ironically, while the pace of doing business has magnified thousands of times, employees desire more than ever to slow down and balance work with family People who successfully manage this 21st century paradigm must comprehend all facets of the organization and how they compose the company’s competitive advantage Manager’s in particular have to find ways to secure competitive advantage via innovation of the process of planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling the organization’s rules, procedures, processes and people who execute them
As seen in week one organizational theory has evolved to embrace a human centric framework This week theme one seeks to explain how 21st century businesses’ must blend 20th and 21st century management theory and application to create a competitive edge In theme two the material for the week begins to explain that the foundation of most existing managerial practices stems from Fayol’s four functions of management It is upon Fayol’s foundation that manager’s will have to build their practices for a new agile organization structure In the coming weeks, students will examine the four functions so that they can understand the common practice upon which new ideas of management are built

Learning Activity #1 – Theme 1
In the 20th century, West focused on goals, cost, quality, and efficient production to keep the business profitable For businesses to remain sustainable today they must maintain a competitive edge either by price or innovation in the marketplace In theme 1, we take a closer look at the way managers maintain sustainability through innovation in the 21st century organization
Artemus Gordon has noticed an increase in the cost of water supply in the last three years Since many of the products produced in the health care line are water based this discovery is significant enough to bring to West’s attention Artemus decided to research the reasons for the increase to determine if a recommendation for a budget adjustment is in order or even a need for a change of supplier What he found was a great deal more significant A serious shortage of potable water supply globally A problem of this magnitude could potentially knock Biotech out of the marketplace altogether
Research the affect that a global water shortage would have on business today and write a memo to West outlining the problem, its potential effects on Biotech and some of the recommendations West should consider taking to the Strategic Planning Team Be sure to present to West the urgency in making this a proactive measure for the company and ways the company could make this an opportunity rather than a problem
Theme 2: The Functions of Management and the New Organization
The role of the manager in a business organization has been defined as a person who can implement the vision, purpose and mission of the business by creating processes, procedures, and short/long term goals that put the organization on a competitive path The manager does this through the implementation of the four primary functions or pillars of management – planning, organizing, leading/directing, and controlling Henri Fayol’s functions of management mentioned in our organizational theory timeline has created a foundation for the modern management role and are very much alive in running businesses today (it should be noted that it is currently five not four [to include staffing] management pillars) The challenge for the manager in the 21st century is to merge the traditional functions of a manager to include a greater role in developing long term goals and leading people while still maintaining the traditional functions of management This week’s themes explore the definition of the four functions of management and how they form the foundation of the manager’s job

Learning Activity #2 – Theme 2
A challenge for the manager in the 21st century is to merge the traditional functions of a manager with the new demands of workplace life The change of value regarding human resources to the organization coupled with technology is shifting the design of organizations toward “boundaryless†or a flat organizational structure In this theme we examine Fayol’s Five Functions of management as well as the 14 lesser functions of management upon which most management roles are based today, and how they are bumping up against the constructs of new 21st century management theory and technology to create tension in the workplace
In a recent conversation at lunch West and Gordon were once again facing off over the idea of changing the Production Department to include a new people- centric theory of management Gordon would like to see staff be given time to do paperwork at home or to be given a computer center space where they can log in their weekly statistics, requests, and general paperwork during set work hours This would allow less overtime and make workers happier and potentially prevent a government citation for overtime West replied, “Fayol would tell you that employees need strong task and time-centered management Workers can do tasks on their own time if they do not get the work done on ours Fayol would have no patience for human resource theory It doesn’t belong in a production line It may be okay for Google but not hereâ€
· Is West correct?
· Do today’s management theories not work for the manufacturing business? Explain how Gordon should reply to West Be sure to explain Fayol’s Five Functions of Management and how these functions have been expanded over the years to include staffing
· Also discuss how technology has changed the workplace to allow for worker preferences and flexibility
· Why would Google be okay with new theory and technology and not Biotech (difference between the service and manufacturing purpose of business)?
