​CASE STUDY: SOME DELEGATED RESEARCH

/in /by

You are manager of biomedical engineering at Central Hospital. You are discussing an information need with your superior, general services vice president Peter Gideon. You both agreed that your equipment maintenance and repair records were not revealing the kind of information they needed—nature of breakdown and failures, maintenance problems, and unique situations encountered—to design an effective preventive maintenance program.

Gideon asks, “Since we started the department the year before last haven’t we kept records of all the work done by you and the technicians?”

You respond, “Sure we have, but they won’t tell us anything useful without lots of digging. We have nearly 24 months’ worth of completed work orders filed in chronological order.”

“Could someone sort through the work orders and separate them by kind of work required?”

“I suppose so,” you reply, “but I don’t have time to do it myself and both techs are swamped with open work orders. I guess I could always get my secretary, Sharon, to do it. Just tell her what I want and let her go about collecting it in her own way.”

Gideon asks, “Does Sharon know the language and all of the work order codes? You might want to provide her with some detailed instructions and maybe even give her a deadline for completion or a schedule for finishing various steps of the project.”

You answer, “I don’t see much point in delegating the job if I’m going to have to do all that work just to get ready. It ought to be enough for me to give her my objectives, suggest an approach, let he add her own ideas to it, and turn her loose.”

“Could this become a regular part of her job?”

“It should,” you stated. “Her’s or somebody’s. Then we could monitor the kinds of information we need rather than having to dig for it like we are now.”

Gideon states, “Between us we seem to have tossed out three ways of using Sharon on this project.” He proceeded to outline the three possibilities as:

1. Tell her what is wanted and let her do it in her own way.

2. Provide her with expected results, a procedure or other instructions, and a schedule or deadline.

3. Tell her what is wanted, recommend an approach, and turn her loose.

Questions to guide your response:

1. Assuming Sharon is qualified for the project, what should determine whether you do indeed assign the task to her rather than doing it yourself or looking for another way?

2. Identify the advantages and disadvantages of the three possibilities outlined above

3. Which of the three approaches should you most seriously consider following? Why?

Instructions:

Describe in detail what you would do if you in this situation. Use the questions above to guide your analysis. Written responses should range in length from 250-350 words. Your response should be thoughtfully organized and free from typos. Postings are worth 10 points total. For full credit, you must cite at least one page in our textbook or other reference material (journal article, website, Power Point slides, etc.). Use APA style citations.

You also need to provide feedback to two classmates’. Responses to classmates should be 100-150 words per response and are worth 5 points each.

Using Assessment to Predict Future Success

/in /by

Authors Silzer and Davis (2010) contended that organizations have

much to gain by using assessments to determine the future potential of

individual employees. What, according to these authors, are the

appropriate uses of assessment to identify high potential individuals

for growth and development opportunities? What cautions did Silzer and

Davis believe should be followed when assessing potential? How can

assessments be used both to evaluate past performance and to predict

future success? Which types of assessments are most valid for predicting

future success? Support your answer, referencing course readings and

other academic sources.

Your initial post should be at least 300 words

Environmental Activists

At a lumber mill workers were being injured when the band saw was knocked off the pulleys by metal spikes driven into the trees. Local ecological activists had driven these metal spikes into the trees to make the lumber company stop logging in a specific area. In response, the company ran the trees past a scanner to look for metal. This prevented the men from being injured. So, the activists drilled holes in the live trees and poured concrete into them. The scanners could not pick up the concrete and men began getting hurt again.

  • Were the actions of the environmental activists ethical? Why or why not?
  • What would you do if you were the owner and why?

rel212 week 9 discussion RESPONSE o.a.

/in /by

Please respond in 7 sentences or more to this discussion:

Good evening,

The Five K’s are as follows:

1.Kirpan (A small sword) – willingness to stand up fight for justice

2.Kanga (Comb) – keeping the hair neat

3.Kara (Steel bracelet) – personal reminder of God’s servants

4.Kachhera (cotton underwear) – ensures modesty

5.Kesh (Bushy Hair/Uncut hair) – respect for what God created

Their interpretation was mostly spiritual and the practice of equality of the Sikhism; e.g., same type of clothing for men and women.

Religions use symbols and clothing to express their faith to stand out from the others and in a subliminal way. This one in particular expressed their hairdos and attachments as subliminal messages that Sikhism is the alternative path to find God in the most significant way as opposed to the others.

The one “K” that intrigues me the most is the Uncut hair. Although many cultures wear this type of expression, I find it extremely interesting as to how it is kept neat and healthy through time and space.
I have a few friends that wear their hair like that but yet I have not asked the reasoning behind out of respect.
Perhaps, this will give me the courage to ask as an educational or cultural question without implying or staring.

Measuring Diversity in a Social Environment

/in /by

Hi, Using the paper attached that you wrote a month or so ago, write a 6–8 typed, double-spaced research paper

Please include the following clearly labeled sections in your project. This is considered a best practice for a research project.

Introduction: In this section, you should introduce the topic and social group you are examining. This section should be a brief overview of the topic, your approach to the topic, and why this topic is important to consider from a sociological perspective. Demonstrate why your topic is of value for understanding diversity.

Literature Review: In this section, you will review the previous research and current statistical data on your topic. Include a brief overview of the history of your topic or social group in the United States, and refer to key concepts encountered in this course. Address how power, particularly power difference between dominant and minority groups, connects to your topic.

You will present relevant, reliable data that indicate any important characteristics of your chosen social group. Examples might include differences in life expectancy, differences in pay, education levels, or any other data that indicate that your group experiences discrimination at the macro level.

Be sure to use information from the course material and your outside sources to illustrate your points. You should include a minimum of five sources, one of which should include statistical data.

Methods: In this section, discuss the data collection process. Explain in detail how you collected your data (questionnaire, observation, or content analysis), the tool you used to collect this data (questionnaire, or observation or content analysis checklist), the number of subjects in your study, and where and how the data was collected. Include at least one table, chart, or graph that illustrates your findings.

Discussion, Analysis, and Theoretical Application: This portion of your project should interpret your findings. Discuss at least three important findings revealed by your project and explain what these findings tell us from a sociological perspective. In this section, refer to pertinent information from the literature review and use it to interpret your findings or analysis within a sociological perspective. In your analysis, apply at least one sociological theory covered in the course, one that you think best explains the discrimination the group has faced or patterns of dominant-minority relations the group may have encountered.

Policies and Strategies: Based on your research review, data collection, and analysis, share your suggestions regarding policies and strategies to address the issues your project raises. For example, if your project focused on gender stereotypes, explain how that knowledge can be applied to workplace policies geared toward promoting equal advancement opportunities for women. In other words, think about how the knowledge gained can be used in the job sector, education, or our personal interactions to improve relationships between members of diverse social groups or capitalize on the advantages that diversity brings.

Conclusion: This will wrap up your project. Summarize the overall lessons learned and offer any personal comments you wish to include—do this here rather than throughout the body of the paper.

Also

in addition share a 2–3 paragraph summary of your Measuring Diversity in a Social Environment project. Identify your topic and touch on the key points of what you sought to measure, how you measured, and what you found in your research.

Synthesis Matrix

/in /by

This discussion will help you develop the skills you need to synthesize several sources together. Here’s what you’ll need to do:

Step #1: Read any three (3) of the four articles listed below on the movie Bombshell (2019).

Step #2: Review the worksheet on creating a synthesis matrix (North Carolina State University) featured in this week’s Content.

Step #3: Complete a synthesis matrix for the three articles you’ve read. This includes:

  • Identifying at least three (3) main ideas or topics covered by the reviews (e.g., plot, actors, #MeToo, gender bias, etc.)
  • Taking notes on what the critics write about these main ideas (e.g., “Lee praises the plot as interesting…” and “Reed finds the plot too confusing…”)
  • Jotting down quotes that support your observations (e.g., “Lee writes, ‘The story has movie-goers at the edge of their seats the whole three hours…”)

Step #4: Identify at least two key issues or questions that are particularly problematic or controversial or striking or worthy of exploring. These would be issues/questions that can be supported by at least two of the articles. They may be points on which the critics agree or disagree, issues that weren’t adequately addressed, or ideas that are explored in the reviews (e.g., “What did the critics think about Colin Firth’s cameo?” or “Discussion of political bias in the movie’s portrayal of the vice president”). Ask yourself, what ideas/issues that are shared among the articles might be interesting to pursue further?

Step #5: Explain how these issues are played out in the reviews (1-2 sentences). What are the critics’ positions on these issues? What was stated/not stated? What other questions does this issue introduce? (For example, for “Why didn’t the critics recognize the cinematography?” you might write about how one critic barely mentioned the cinematography, while another stated how it was overrated, focusing more on the acting.)

Note that a sample response to this discussion, based on three reviews of Danny Boyle’s _Steve Jobs_, appears in the Content for this week.

Step #6: Post your matrix, your two issues/questions, and your 1-2 sentence analysis

AT5 Assignment

/in /by

Over the course of the week, do five nice things for people you do not know. Describe each situation paragraph by paragraph. For instance, what prompted you to perform the nice deed, what was the deed, and how did the person react to the deed? How did it make you feel afterward? Do you think your life would change if this one good act a day requirement was permanently enacted?

If you use any outside sources be sure to include a separate reference page. Refer to the resources mentioned in the Assignment Requirements Document for specific format requirements.

Criteria

This assignment needs to meet the following criteria:

  • Include the following sections (with a minimum of 2 double-spaced pages of text beyond the title & reference pages):

-Title page (course #/your name/assignment #)

– Discuss your random acts of kindness (5-6 paragraphs)

– Discuss others/your own reaction to these good deeds (5-6 paragraphs)

– Conclude with your thoughts on this becoming a repertoire of behavior (1-2 paragraphs)

– Reference page (if you used any outside resources to garner your opinions)

  • Do not “directly quote” outside resources (e.g., the textbook). You should get used to paraphrasing outside resources, whereby you put the information in your own words while still citing the source from which you derived your information. Keep in mind that using anything more than three consecutive words of the outside source is considered plagiarism.
