PART ONE: GENERAL ASSIGNMENT ( SEE AND COMPLETE ATTACHED S.A.W. WORKSHEETS)

This presentation introduces you to the essential four questions that management must answer for its employees when goals and activities are developed. The presentation also helps to answer the first three questions; the feedback you gather from your instructor will help to answer the last question.

  • What do I do?
  • How do I do it?
  • What does good look like?
  • How am I doing?

Now that you have declared the functional area you want to focus on, it is time to identify and develop goals for that area and for the human resources area. Follow these steps to complete this project component (all of the required documents are given in the Resources):

  1. Download the SAW for human resources.
    • Complete the section 1.0 Goals and Activities.
    • Develop three goals (in addition to the four provided) for the manager of human resources.
    • Identify activities that support achievement of each goal, and the achievement deadline needed to complete the activity.
  2. Download the SAW for your declared functional area.
    • Complete the section 1.0 Goals and Activities.
    • Develop three goals (in addition to the four provided) for the manager of the area you have chosen.
    • Identify activities that support achievement of each goal, and the achievement deadline needed to complete the activity.
  3. Prepare a one-page reflection write up on the sections you just completed for both the human resources area and your declared functional area, which addresses the following questions:
    • Justify the goals and activities you included in your SAW for the human resources area and your declared functional area.
    • Why is planning important to strategic management?
    • How is it important to the achievement of organizational goals?
    • What current or past experience did you draw from, if any?
    • What research was used to support your work in arriving at the goals and activities? Use APA style and formatting to cite your sources.

You will continue to complete the other sections in the SAWs throughout the remainder of the course. Keep in mind that your completed SAWs for the human resources area and your declared functional area will be incorporated into your final course project, Atha Executive Plan.

Prior to submitting your assignment, review the course project description and the Project Goals and Activities Scoring Guide to ensure you have met overall project requirements and all of the criteria for this assignment.

Submit these three items as attachments to the assignment area:

  1. SAW (for the human resources area).
  2. SAW (for the functional area you chose—sales and marketing, accounting and finance, or operations and production).
  3. Reflection write up.

PART TWO DISCUSSIONS: DISCUSSION ARE GENERAL RESPONSES THEY NEED TO BE IN APA FORMAT AND PROFESSIONAL THOUGH THEY DO NOT HAVE TO BE FORMATTED LIKE A RESEARCH PAPER.

DISCUSSION ONE:

Managers as Leaders

In some cases, individuals believe they are capable of managing others, but they fail to live up to the expectations of organizational leadership and their direct reports. You have most likely heard the saying: “People leave managers, not companies.”

Prepare a post that answers the following:

  • What does this quote mean to you?
  • What kinds of information from your readings and independent research support your perspective?
  • What are some examples and anecdotes to illustrate this? Feel free to draw from your own professional experiences.
  • How can you use the Understanding Yourself: How Motivated Am I to Manage? self-assessment (from Unit 1 studies) to expand on this quote?

DISCUSSION TWO:

Decision Making( SEE ATTACHMENTS FOR TEXT TO GO WITH PART 1 &2)

In this discussion, you will start to expand on the concepts introduced in Chapter 4 of your text. Prepare a discussion post that responds to the following:

Part 1

Review “Three Approaches Managers Can Use to Make Decisions” in your text and answer the following questions:

  • Do these approaches make sense to you? Support your answer with your readings and independent research.
  • Which of the three approaches did you use when you were required to make a business-related decision? Describe the situation. What was the impact on the organization?

Part 2

Review “How Can You Improve Group Decision Making” in your text and answer the following:

Describe a time when you were part of a team that was assigned to make a decision.

  • What were the circumstances?
  • How did the process work?
  • Were you in agreement with the decision? What were the results or effects of the decision?
  • What would you have done differently?

Contextual Analysis Discussion

/in /by

Engagement and participation are important aspects of any college course. For this online course your engagement and participation are partly determined by your presence on the Discussion Boards.

As mentioned in the syllabus, each of the three Contextual Analysis Discussions gets progressively more complex as your skills increase. For this second Contextual Analysis Discussion, you should make at least one original contextual analysis post and two comments to other posts for each module. Posts should be in full, grammatically correct sentences that create at least one solid response of at least 900 words–make sure you include a word count. The word count does NOT include any headers or references section. All posts must be relevant to the assigned materials (although you may build upon previous knowledge from earlier weeks and include personal observations). Start by answering the prompt, and then build upon the prompt to consider your own perspectives and experiences. You MUST attach photos and web links to support your position. An important part of your grade for this assignment is to communicate with your classmates. Because this is intended to be your opportunity to discuss topics with your classmates, the professor/TA will generally refrain from commenting or actively participating in the discussions aside from reading and grading them.

Each of the two comments should be at least 300 words (include a word count) on two different classmates’ posts each module to receive full credit.

Posts: For this post, select one work of art (architecture, literature, music) that has NOT been already analyzed or extensively discussed in the course readings or videos…part of the fun in learning about art is in DISCOVERING it! You are required to make one post to conduct both a formal and contextual analysis or your chosen work. Then, you will compare it to the work you selected in Module 1 AND to any other work in Module 1 that was analyzed by another student in this class. This will give you THREE works to discuss in this assignment:

  • One work of art you select from the mediums we discussed in this module (architecture, literature, or music) in which you conduct a formal and contextual analysis with social angles.
  • You then compare the work you chose in this module (architecture, literature, or music) with the work you chose in module 1 (two-dimensional art or three-dimensional art). This comparison will be a brief compare/contrast/ways of seeing between the two works.
  • Last, you compare the work you chose in this module to any other work analyzed in module 1 by a peer. Again, this comparison will be a brief compare/contrast/ways of seeing between the two works.

This process expands your skills of doing a contextual analysis by comparing works to each other.

In a narrative format, the post should contain the following elements:

  • Define and Identify: Brief information about the artist and work. For example, birth/death dates, place of birth or work, where work is displayed, name of work, medium of work, context for creation of work.
  • Experience and Appreciation: For example, where you found the work (website, another book, museum), what made you select the work, what about this work speaks to you.
  • Observe and Analyze: Use and underline three terms that were introduced in the module to observe/analyze your chosen work. Add any other relevant information to improve your paper.
  • Critique and Compare: Compare your work to similar pieces or to examples used in the book. Consider the impact of the work on a particular social angle and/or the evolution of the media. Consider the impact of experiencing the work on your general outlook on the medium or appreciation of art.
  • Apply Social Angles AND Context: Identify at least one social angle from the list below that can be observed or analyzed as part of the work. Address how the social angle is connected to the work. Plus, a thorough contextual analysis of the historical, cultural, and social implications should be discussed.
    • race and ethnicity,
    • gender and sexuality,
    • class and highbrow/low,
    • colonialism, postcolonialism, place and regionalism,
    • nature (environment, ecology) and culture,
    • memory, history, generational identity,
    • food culture, and
    • body and mind

Students will be expected to define, identify, and apply at least three terms (underline them so I can quickly find them) from the module in the post. Make sure to underline the terms so that I can quickly identify them. College-level writing and mechanics are expected; however, the purpose of this assignment is to move from experiencing art to analyzing art to evaluating art. Make sure to include a references section at the end of every post, even if you only cite the lecture video. All in-text citations and references should be in MLA.

Comments: For each of the two comments, select a classmate’s post, read the post, critique the post, indicate your reaction to the chosen work, discuss a comparison work from the module or any other outside source that is similar to the work identified in the post, and either add personal commentary or pose a question to stimulate conversation.

Here are some examples:

Intermediate Sanctions and Community Corrections

/in /by

Complete all assigned reading before attempting the assignment. Your
answers must be based on the reading plus add your own insightful comments as well. Answer the following question(s)
in one paragraph. DO NOT write both answers in the same paragraph. *List the question and then put the answer underneath. Read pages 323-332. https://intervisualtechnology.us/uploads/PDFs/Crim…

  1. Review our discussion of California’s Substance Abuse and Crime
    Prevention Act on page 323. The program has had one unintended
    consequence: in its first four years, drug arrests in California
    increased significantly. Before 2000, these rates had been falling. How
    might the new law have contributed to this increase in drug crime?
  2. Why might probationers or those subjected to intermediate sanctions
    want to limit their social media activity? Give an example of a
    circumstance in which a Facebook posting could cause probation to be
    revoked.
