Scenario: Davis Skaros has recently been promoted to production manager. He has just started to receive various managerial reports, including the production cost report you prepared. It showed his department had 2,000 equivalent units in ending inventory. His department has had a history of not keeping enough inventory on hand to meet demand. He has come to you, very angry, and wants to know why you credited him with only 2,000 units when he knows he had at least twice that many on hand.

Prepare a maximum 700-word informal memo and explain to Mr. Skaros why his production cost report showed only 2,000 equivalent units in ending inventory. Using a professional tone, explain to him clearly why your report is accurate.

Format the assignment consistent with APA guidelines.

1. Most primary and secondary schools around the country have policies concerning marijuana use (and drug paraphanalia) on school grounds. Identify and specify what your local public school district’s policy is concerning these matters. How and to what extent do the normative theories of consequentialism (i.e., ethical egoism, contractualism, and utilitarianism) provide (or fail to provide) an ethical framework for understanding these policies?.

2. Whose interests are advanced by sustaining the “war on drugs”? Are these interests designed to advance the greatest good for the greatest number of citizens? What ethical arguments by way of consequentialism facilitate your analysis?

/in /by

This activity describes what researchers have learned about the special abilities of the left and right sides of the brain. You will learn how information is transmitted to these two hemispheres and about the unique function of each.

• What is the name of the band of fibers connecting the left and right hemispheres of the brain? What is its function?

• Each hemisphere is primarily connected to the opposite side of the body. This means that a touch on the left hand would be registered in which hemisphere?

• When sound waves enter the right ear, which hemisphere receives the primary information?

• This crossover pattern is also true in part for the visual pathway. When light enters the left eye, which hemisphere receives the information?

• How is the visual pathway from the eye different from that of the ear or hand?

EXPLORING PSYCHOLOGY 7TH EDITION MODULE 4

The Denis, Lamothe, and Langley (2001)

/in /by

The Denis, Lamothe, and Langley (2001) article is not that recent, so it depends on how much work has been done on collective leadership as to whether can find anything more recent than this article. This is not important. The point of the exercise is to find another article dealing with leadership and strategic change in healthcare organizations. If that is not possible, find another article dealing with leadership and strategic change.

To that end it may be helpful to:

  1. Use the library databases to search on “leadership” and “strategic change model” and “health care” or “healthcare” to find related articles.
  2. Use Research report 9.1 to generate search terms, as previously suggested. The methods and research process sections have useful phrases that can be used for a literature search.
  3. You do not want to merely summarize the article. You want to indicate whether the article you found is consistent or inconsistent with the Denis,Lamothe and Langley (2001) findings. Then you want to discuss what these results, as a whole (both articles together), mean to leaders and managers in terms of being able to plan and conduct a change effort.

NOTE: These are the 3 assignments for this week.

You should consider the discussion threads as being analogous to the kind of discussions you would have in a face-to-face class: our goals should be to say things that are interesting, provocative, and respectful. Since this is a classroom setting, you are encouraged to proofread, and to avoid the more slang- and emoticon-fueled discourse that appears on Twitter and Facebook. One of the goals here is professional preparation; if you would not say or do something in the workplace, then you should not post similar material in a discussion thread. You can post more than twice to the postings of your peers; the two longest postings are the ones that will be evaluated.

Where possible, the threads will cover supplemental material incorporated into each chapter, via videos related to the supporting discussion integrated into your textbook chapters. Postings should not merely summarize the material, but should deal with how to apply the material in practice.

DISCUSSION 1 (RESPONSE FOR QUESTIONS 1 & 2, FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT YOU MUST USE POWERPOINTS CHAPTER 14, and Related Links (Student Resource Web Site) at http://www.palgrave.com/companion/hayes-change-management4 (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., Let me know if you need additional information from the book )

The threads will cover supplemental material incorporated into each chapter, via videos related to the supporting discussion integrated into your textbook chapters. Postings should not merely summarize the material, but should deal with how to apply the material in practice.

Directions

The posting should consist of no less than 250-400 words, excluding references and should incorporate at least one outside, i.e., from a library database search, APA formatted reference at the end of the post.

1. Managing change in practice 14.1 – Steve Gorton: Soft skills for hard results (ATTACHED)

DISCUSSION 2

Directions

200-300 words, excluding references. The answer may include information from the text, handouts, personal experiences and opinion to demonstrate critical thinking and application. At least one source must be cited and referenced.

1. After completing the text readings, find a stock owned organization whose web site mentions corporate governance (search “corporate governance at _XYZ_”). How does the organization appear to ensure that the organization’s goals are aligned with the those of the shareholders? Are stakeholders also addressed? Do you think the organization is doing a poor, fair or excellent job of balancing the interests of shareholders and stakeholders? Support your opinion with information from the organization’s web site or articles about their structure and governance.

DISCUSSION 3 (100-200 words, excluding references)

Cultural Differences

/in /by

While cultural differences are abound across cultures, there are some common human values and principles shared by managers across the globe.

GLOBE study results suggest that ethical global leaders share certain common characteristics, such as integrity and altruism. Do you agree with the assertion? Why or why not? Is there a difference in the way integrity and morality are perceived and practiced by people from different national cultures? Please provide specific practical examples, discuss relevant theories and models, and document the sources of information.

Note: To answer to the discussion question, you should read Chapter 8 and review the additional resources. Your response must reflect your learning from the reading materials. You can do so by citing from the textbook. Please follow the APA 6th citation and referencing style. Try to participate on at least two days each week.
