  • From the Activity, determine key reasons why a multinational corporation might decide to borrow money from a country such as Brazil, where interest rates are high, rather than from a country like Switzerland, where interest rates are low. Provide support for your rationale.
  • From the scenario, select two (2) potential international markets in which TFC may wish to do business.

Communications And Technology Case Study, management homework help

/in /by

I need help with this case study, please! I’m not sure what I should post for this forum, so forgive me if its a bit verbose.

Preparation

To prepare for this assessment, complete the following:

  • Research examples of team charters that are used in an organizational setting.
  • Research the different types of virtual communication technologies currently available in the workplace, including both synchronous and asynchronous options.


Write recommendations that provide guidance to a hypothetical team about developing a team charter and choosing communications and collaboration technology, based on a provided scenario.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

  • Competency 2: Apply the principles and practices of effective virtual team collaboration.
    • Analyze strategies for effective virtual team collaboration.
    • Analyze strategies for addressing conflict in a virtual team.
  • Competency 3: Assess types of information and communication technologies.
    • Analyze the use of synchronous technologies in virtual team collaboration.
    • Analyze the use of asynchronous technologies in virtual team collaboration.
    • Evaluate types of communication technology in relation to specific use in virtual team collaboration.

Deliverable

Consider the following scenario:

You are a human resource manager for a national organization with offices in all four U.S. time zones. You have been tasked with facilitating the launch of a virtual team that will collaborate on an important and highly confidential project. Team members will come from all major business units of the organization, and will be made up primarily of senior managers and directors. The team is expected to have its orientation meeting in two weeks, and will present the finished project to executive management 90 days after the orientation meeting.

You are expected to provide this team with guidance that will help with the launch. Your deliverables for this task are to provide specific guidance in two areas:

  1. Recommendations for the team charter: Offer guidance on the development of this team’s contract as a group. What ground rules would you recommend? What counsel do you have to offer in terms of team members setting expectations with each other? How do you recommend that conflicts be resolved? How do you suggest the team leadership concerns be addressed?
  2. Recommendations for communications and collaboration technology: Recommend technology choices that will support this team’s virtual collaboration. Be specific in your recommendations about the use of synchronous and asynchronous technologies. Highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each, and give examples of the appropriate and inappropriate uses of both types of technologies. Provide recommendations of technologies for brainstorming and problem-solving. Offer advice on shared work platforms that are appropriate to the technologies. For example, what form of communication is best for resolving conflicts?

Write an assessment that offers your thorough and detailed recommendations for each of these two topics, while being as concise as possible. Support each of your recommendations with references from your research.

Formatting Requirements

Your assessment should contain two distinct sections: Team Charter Recommendations and Communications and Collaboration Technology Recommendations. Include the following:

  • Title page.
  • Introduction (include a brief overview of the scenario).
  • Team Charter Recommendations:
    • Executive Summary (1–2 paragraphs).
    • Recommendations.
  • Communications and Collaboration Technology Recommendations:
    • Executive Summary (1–2 paragraphs).
    • Recommendations.
  • Conclusion (in 1–2 paragraphs, summarize your recommendations and the results you expect).
  • References page, including a minimum of three research resources. Follow APA guidelines for formatting and citing your resources.

There is no exact number of pages required for this assessment. Focus on fully addressing the assessment requirements. Note: If your paper is only two pages in length, you have not fully addressed the assessment; and if it is twenty pages, you have written far too much.

Find and read a news article on a topic of interest to you.

/in /by

Instructions: 1. Find and read a news article on a topic of interest to you. The article must come from an established news source (see list of examples on the next page), be fact- rather than opinion based, and be substantial, meaning 250 words or more. (To count words, cut and paste article text into a word processing program and use the word count function.) 2. Think about how the topic covered in the article could be viewed from each of sociology’s major theoretical perspectives: functionalism, conflict theory, and interactionism. It will help to review the perspectives in the course lecture notes and textbook. Come up with at least one idea, claim, question, or hypothesis about the topic that reflects each perspective (a total of three). Keep in mind that there are many correct answers here—theorists from each perspective would have a lot of different things to say about any topic. 3. Write up your thoughts in a five paragraph essay with the following structure: Paragraph 1: Introduce your essay by describing the topic you will be discussing and why you think it is important or interesting. Remember to cite your news article using an intext citation when you refer to or quote from it. Paragraphs 2-4: Write a brief paragraph on each theoretical perspective, in any order. In each, start with a sentence or two describing the perspective in your own words (based on information from the lecture notes and textbook). Then write a few more sentences describing an idea, claim, question, or hypothesis about your topic that reflects the perspective. You may use first-person phrasing if you wish (e.g., “If I were studying this topic using the interactionist perspective, I would focus on…”) or not (e.g., “An interactionist might hypothesize that ….”). Then go to a new paragraph and perspective. Paragraph 5: Write a few sentences on the following: If you were going to do further research on this topic, which theoretical perspective would you use, and why? (Note that answering the “why” question is just as important as picking a perspective.) 4. Formatting: Write in prose (essay style), not a list or bullet points. I am expecting about 2 pages, but quality is what counts. Please use a 12 point font, double line spacing, and one inch margins. Cite your sources, including your news article and possibly the textbook and/or lecture notes—see further information below.

This is a discussion question

/in /by

The Weiss textbook in Chapter 1 offers a brief summary of Kohlberg’s three levels (six stages) of moral development. You may recollect these from your undergraduate psychology courses. The central point for business is that Kohlberg’s work offers a way to observe behavior (level of moral maturity) in our world of business transactions. Recall that developmental theorists equate growth to stages in life and that this movement is not prescribed (having a set timeline) but that movement from one stage to another is sequential (one must travel through stage A to reach stage B and so on). According to Kohlberg, few of us reach Level 3, Stage 6 (acting right according to universal principles of justice and rights). Was Kohlberg right? That is, do you agree with his stages of moral development? And, if few of us can (will) reach Level 3, Stage 6, why is this so?

I attempted it once but it was the wrong type of essay. I’ll attach my essay so it can be pulled from and or reorganized. If it’s easier you can take out, add, and/or rearrange what I have done but it’s completely wrong so please don’t just add on it solely.

I attached the format below as well. Topic “A place for hunting?”

Articles I used for my first attempt (They are allowed to be used in the second and third body paragraphs are additional information towards your argument and used to form a position on the topic for the intro and first body paragraph):
