Learning Issues, management homework help

/in /by

Suppose that your organization, or an organization with which you are familiar, is dealing with a major issue in transitioning individual learning (e.g., sharing knowledge, training programs, working as a team, experiences, procedures, processes, etc.) into organizational learning. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has asked you, as the Vice President of Human Resources, to assist with the issue and to help the organization transition its culture to this new way of learning. Before you provide any recommendations to address the issue, you must first research the root of the problem and the resistance to this transition.

Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:

  1. Assess the organization’s culture as it relates to shared knowledge, then specify the significant issue(s) that you discovered with the culture. Determine the disconnect you observed between the culture and organizational learning using three (3) of the five (5) mystifications. Support your response with at least one (1) example of each selected mystification within the organization.
  2. Give your opinion on the current Organizational Learning Mechanism(s) (OLMs) that hinder organizational learning. Support your response with one (1) example of a training or learning initiative (e.g., sharing knowledge, training programs, working as a team, experiences, procedures, processes, etc.) and the outcome when it was applied to the organization.
  3. Determine which one (1) of the following OLMs is suitable for replacing the identified OLM(s) that hinder organizational learning as a corrective action to facilitate the transition from individual to organizational learning: Off-line/Internal, On-line/Internal, Off-line/External or On-line/External. Justify your selection.
  4. Evaluate the norms of the organization’s learning culture to determine the source(s) that currently prevent productive learning by applying two (2) of the following norms: inquiry, issue orientation, transparency, integrity or accountability. Provide at least one (1) example of each of the selected norms’ manifestation within the organization in your evaluation.
  5. Use at least five (5) quality academic references in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia does not qualify as an academic resource.

Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format.

300 word spreadsheet

As an assistant vice president at a regional bank, your boss has tasked you and the other AVPs to work in a group to acquire $100 million of residential mortgages to be securitized in a pass-through MBS. There must be between 250–300 mortgages in the portfolio, none of them with a maturity below 200 months or greater than 360 months. In the interest of time, your boss suggests that the group assign group members to find (meaning create some hypothetical) a group of diverse mortgages (meaning each with a different interest rate, principal amount, and maturity) and then as a group, aggregate each member’s mortgages into a pool to calculate the portfolio WAC and WAM. Your group task is to provide your boss with a summary spreadsheet that shows the individual mortgages and the portfolio’s WAC and WAM calculations, along with a memo of at least 300 words that explains the following:

  • The number of residential mortgages in the portfolio and the range of principal values, interest rates, and maturities
  • The residential mortgage portfolio’s WAC and WAM
  • A discussion of the WAC of the pass-through MBS the group has created and whether it represents a coupon rate indicative of a high credit quality or a lower credit quality pool of mortgages. Include in the discussion the MBS issue’s spread over the comparable Treasury rate.
  • Include in your analysis at least 1 outside source for the Treasury rate.

Drawing on the excerpt of Audra Simpson’s Mohawk Interruptus, answer the following questions:

1. According to Simpson, how is membership in the Iroquois Confederacy different to the concept of citizenship employed by settler states, such as that revealed by the border guards with whom she interacts? Give two to three differences with examples from the article. Use the definition of citizenship given in Guest p. 168.

2. Does the border between Canada and the U.S. and the difficulties members of the Iroquois Confederacy face in crossing it, deepen or undermine a sense of shared Mohawk ethnicity?

TASK 2: Impression Formation (8 points)

For this exercise, you are going to replicate Asch’s “warm/cold” study (please make sure you select this study and not his line study) on a small scale. You will need a total of eight people who will be your participants (if your current circumstances make it difficult to find these people in person, you can even conduct this online if necessary).

1. Select FOUR people and do the following (they shouldn’t know about the others doing this so do this individually):

(a) Ask them to form an impression in their head of an *imaginary* person who has the following 7 characteristics: INTELLIGENT, SKILLFUL, INDUSTRIOUS, WARM, DETERMINED, PRACTICAL, CAUTIOUS.

(b) Then, for EACH of the following list of 4 opposite adjective pairs, read the PAIR to them one by one.

*generous ; selfish*

*ignorant ; wise*

*happy ; sad*

*good-natured ; irritable*

(c) For each pair, ask them to pick which word in the pair best fits the person of whom they have formed an impression.

2. Select FOUR OTHER people and repeat the procedure, but this time, replace the word “warm” with “cold.” so your original list of traits includes: INTELLIGENT, SKILLFUL, INDUSTRIOUS, COLD, DETERMINED, PRACTICAL, CAUTIOUS.

For this post, explain your mini study. Provide each of the following modeled after journal articles:

1. Introduction (this is a biggie) – Don’t forget to clearly explain the study done by Asch, and for your study, clearly identify what the independent and dependent variables were and the hypothesis (based on Asch).

2. Method (subjects, procedure etc.) – explain basics of your study in a few lines

3. Results (since we only have 8 participants this won’t be complicated data but it’s always nice to provide basic info maybe in a table – #? gender? basics of your group? percents?)

4. Discussion (this is the biggie and should be the longest part of the assignment) – In this section, consider if the results match research findings and what they tell us about impression formation. It is very important to provide depth in your discussion section by considering and applying concepts from your readings but also to consider limitations, implications etc. both of the concepts and of the study itself even if you didn’t get the type of results as expected.

Looking forward to reading about your views on NfC and especially to reading about your “experiments” 🙂 Don’t forget to respond meaningfully to others!
