After the meeting of the Board of Directors, the Chairwoman of the Board calls you into her office. She offers you a cup of coffee and is impressed with the information that you presented in the meeting and your understanding of new ventures. She says:

“We’re ready to invest in a new generation of business leaders. There is so much talent arising from business schools and the passion for entrepreneurism, innovation, and business excellence helps to build a strong economy. I’d like you to work with a multicultural team of entrepreneurs to develop a global small business. You will need to prepare an executive business plan presentation for the global small business for the board of directors, a brand logo, and a prospective commercial that could be used to advertise the global small business’s product or service. If the global small business idea is successful, the Board of Directors may approve startup funding of up to 1 million dollars.”

Using Bloomberg Businessweek B-School Connection resources, research entrepreneurism and small businesses, and create an executive business plan presentation of 10 not including title and reference slides that includes the following:

• Company Logo: An original creative graphic that identifies your company or brand.
• Company Information: The name and background of your global small business including founders, history, current number of employees, and location.

Sociolinguistic Factors

Because communication involves being part of a language community, it is important to understand the cultural contributions of the people with whom communication takes place. Chapter 2 of Introduction to Communication Disorders includes such information that may be useful in determining the manner in which people communicate. Consider how communication is influenced by age, gender, and ethnicity. How might sociolinguistic factors in communication be related to unique variables of cultural identity, setting, and participants? How might disorders that manifest themselves throughout a person’s life be influenced by these factors? How might a person be affected by these factors?

Given the current backlog of civil cases in our federal, state, and
county court system, and the ever increasing cost of litigation, many
people facing disputes among themselves or with various organizations
are electing to go to alternative dispute resolution (ADR). The most
common means of ADR are arbitration, mediation,and mini-trials (Judge
Judy), but a number of other types ADR are available. Pursuing a major
civil case in county court will probably take three Years to complete
and cost $_00,000. On the other hand, arbitration will probably take 60
days, and cost $30,000 – $50,000. So, you are facing a dispute with
your former employer of 25 years, who is trying to deny you certain
benefits that you gained legal title to (you think) over these years of
employment.

• What choices do you have in pursuing your claim for past employment benefits?
• What are the various factors you need to consider in choosing a route to recovery?
• You are very confident you will prevail at the end of the
  process, and recover your benefits. So, what action do you pursue?

Proposal for an Organizational Retention and Motivation Action Plan

A frequent issue that organizations suffer from in current workplace environments is retaining employees and determining effective ways to motivate employees. For this assignment, you will act as a consultant that was hired by organization ABC (of your choice). As a consultant who retains an extensive background in Organizational Behavior, you have been tasked by the contracting organization to develop a proposal for an organizational retention and motivation action plan due to the high attrition rates and declining motivation currently occurring at the organization.

• Your proposal is required to be submitted as a 10-14 page Word document, APA format is required. Title page and reference page are not counted in the 10-14 page count requirement.

• You may select any organization to focus your proposal of an organizational retention and motivation action plan.
• Please be certain to address the following;
  • Organizational behavior issues that impact retention
  • Organizational behavior issues that impact motivation
  • Detailed suggestions to overcome high attrition
  • Detailed suggestions to overcome low motivation
  • Identification of how beliefs, attitudes, and perceptions will impact this plan overall
  • Identification of how personalities, neuroscience, diversity, gender, generational impact, and corporate culture will impact this plan overall
  • How the plan will be communicated within organization
  • Detailed suggestions on how to implement change, such as implementing the proposed organizational retention and motivation action plan

1- Self-Portrait Presentation

Each student will create a 5-10 minute presentation that conveys the essence of their “self” through art. At least 5 works should be chosen. You will need to

• present the art (via narrated PowerPoint, narrated Prezi, or video), MAKE SURE IT IS FULLY NARRATED AND ON AUTO PLAY so the viewer doesn’t have to click on every slide. One of the easiest ways to do this is to create your PowerPoint with the embedded narration and all transitions and then export it as a video.
• tell us about the art (artist, when it was created, define the type of art, gives us some context about how it was created)
• explain how/why it represents you
• identify a social angle for each work AND do a thorough contextual analysis
  • race and ethnicity
  • gender and sexuality
  • class and highbrow/lowbrow
  • colonialism, postcolonialism, place and regionalism
  • nature (environment, ecology) and culture
  • memory, history, generational identity
  • food culture
  • body and mind

You can use ANY type of art covered in our class, including the performing arts (play, dance, music) that are in Module 3. The WHY it represents you is the most important part of the project. Each student is also required to find something in common with another student based upon self-portraits and to identify that “something in common” in a discussion comment of at least 50 words. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

2- Final Creative Art Project: PROPOSAL

The goal of the creative art project is to provide you with an opportunity to create an original work of art and show how much you learned in this class. You can choose any visual form or medium and show your creativity and imagination. You are required to submit a creative art project in order to pass the class in order to meet the University’s Foundations of Knowledge and Learning Core Curriculum Fine Arts requirement.

Step 1 – Choose an Artist

First, you need to choose an artist (painter, sculptor, photographer, etc.) whose work is interesting and inspiring to you. Do not copy his/her work but use it as a starting point for your project. For example, if you choose Boticelli’s The Birth of Venus, you may use the same mythological theme in a different medium such as sculpture, mosaic, or song.

Step 2 – Research

1. Research the time period of your artist.
2. Research the artist’s biography.
3. Research the artist’s techniques, ideas, and inspirations.

The more information you know about the artist, the better you will understand the work that inspired you to create your project. Select 1 work by this artist that you particularly admire. You will be required to submit an image of this artwork at the end of the semester along with the project itself.

Step 3 – Proposal

1. Decide on a medium (pain, clay, etc.).
2. Type your project proposal (about 400 words) including the following information:

• Artist.
• Artwork you have chosen.
• The medium.
• How you will show “the spirit” of the artist and the chosen artwork.
• What social angle applies to the work

EXAMPLE: Here is a pdf file containing a proposal from a previous semester that earned an “A” to help give you an idea of what is expected. downloadto view the example.

Proposal: REQUIRED, you must get approval for your project or your project won’t be accepted. Well-developed paragraph (at least 400 words) free of grammatical and spelling errors. Addresses chosen artist/artwork/movement used as basis of project, the medium, and intentions to capture “the spirit of” that artist and specific artwork. Contains steps to how you will create your artwork and a timeline for how long you estimate it will take Contains an image of the inspiration artist/artwork/movement Identifies social angle of artist/artwork/movement
