Business policy

/in /by

Business policies are common in nearly any organization. Created by or at the direction of top management, business policies establish the guidelines or limits that lower-level managers and employees have in making specific decisions. For instance, the following are examples of business policies that would detail the expectations, and guidelines, for employee performance and conduct:

  • Dress code
  • Code of ethics
  • Outside employment
  • Equal opportunity
  • Attendance/time off
  • Substance abuse

In many organizations, a human-resources department will be charged by top management to create business policies and then ensure employees adhere to the tenets of the policies. For this assignment, your well-written paper should include the following:

  • Choose an organization with which you are familiar or that you have studied and identify a business policy that is either poorly written or has not been developed by the organization.
  • Summarize the intent of this business policy and the importance to the organization that this policy be current and accurate.
  • As the human-resources professional, revise or create the business policy identified above, and then detail how best an organization can publicize this business policy to maximize employee knowledge.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be 3-4 pages in length
  • Include at least two scholarly sources, in addition to properly citing information from the selected organization
  • Be formatted according to the APA Requirements

Sample paper attached. Proper grammar and punctuation are KEY!!

Leadership- its cause/effect- Annotated Bibliography

/in /by

This work is in three parts 1) Annotated Bibliography, 2) Outline, 3) Power point presentation

But you only have to do the bibliography (the rest will be posted as separate questions)

The work is based on leadership.. who inspires you and that is the theme of the work, so following that you have work on at least six sources for the bibliography. This is described below

It is expected that you give an operational definition of leadership based off of three credible sources. This means no .coms are allowed. Your sources should come from either peer reviewed journals, technical literature or academic literature. From those three definitions, you will create your own operational definition of leadership. (total 3 sources for this)

As you establish this operational definition of leadership, you should provide some cause effect relationship data on leadership in the workplace. This data could illustrate a rise in productivity from good leadership/management/ mentor ship. This data could point to health issues from bad management. This data could talk about the relationship to good management and the innovation of ideas and products. The main point here is that you have some data (statistics) to give us a cause effect relationship of leadership. You will need to have at least 2 sources. These sources could come from business literature, popular literature, news media. (total 2 sources)

Next, we need to see the introduction of this person who you value for their leadership qualities. (1 source for this) For leader I was thinking about Nelson Mandela (if you have any suggestion let me know)

I will provide the checklist/ outline of the annotated bibliography later

Cover Letter Sr. Talent Acquisition Partner

/in /by

Assignment:

Cover Letter

Often times a cover letter is your first impression when applying for a new job. In order to stand out from other candidates, you will want to write a unique cover letter for each position that is of interest to you. A cover letter allows you to clarify, detail, and expand on your most relevant skills and competencies. In addition, it allows you to highlight your written communication skills.

It is important that you have a compelling and impactful cover letter. To accomplish this, you need to answer the following questions before you begin composing your letter.

  • Why are you interested in the position? (Consider what makes the position, organization, or company interesting to you.)
  • What three skills or competencies do you possess that match the skills the employer is seeking in a candidate?
    • You can find these skills by viewing the job description. These specific skills are the reason every cover letter should be unique for each job for which you apply.

For this assignment, you will explore the components of a cover letter, reflect on your most relevant skills, and assess what action steps you can take to make your cover letter stronger.

For your assignment:

  • First, identify a position on http://www.indeed.com/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.that interests you as a potential job opportunity. Using the job description, identify three skills or qualifications that match your background and type them out. – I have 3 years experience working in Human Resources as Talent Acquisition Recruiter from Pacific Premier Bank, Kforce and most recently Lightwave Partners. Please use my resume as resource to personalize.
  • Please use this job: https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Beacon-Health-Options?f…
  • Next, using the format suggestions from both the webinar and cover letter sample, create a two to three paragraph letter that addresses the three matching skills and/or competencies you would like to highlight for the employer. The goal is to tailor the body of your cover letter to the position you seek.
  • Include the link for the job description you are interested in at the bottom of the cover letter along with the proper citations for any additional resources you utilize.

Film Assignment

/in /by

Answer the following question using roughly two pages. Write using 1” margins, double spaced, and size 12 Times or Times New Roman font.

Conduct a full formal analysis of a one to-three-minute segment from either The Awful Truth (Leo McCarey 1937) or To Be or Not to Be (Ernst Lubitsch 1942).

Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s created an “assembly line” mode of efficient film production based in coherence and seamlessness, with “continuity editing” serving as the driving logic for this type of filmmaking.

For this paper, you will analyze a short segment from either film and make an argument about how it demonstrates these characteristics of the Classical Hollywood Style.

In order to do so, you will need to correctly use at least three relevant formal terms (i.e., shot types, categories of sound, terms for editing and camera movement) in order to analyze the scene in depth.

Shot types – long shot, medium-long shot, medium shot, medium close-up, close-up, extreme close-up

Categories of sound – diegetic sound, onscreen diegetic sound, offscreen diegetic sound, internal diegetic sound, external diegetic sound, non-diegetic sound

Terms for editing – traditional cut, shot/reverse shot, eyeline match

Camera movement – tracking shot, panning shot, crane shot, zoom

You will need an introduction and a conclusion that frame your analysis with a clear argument, complete with a thesis statement. Your argument needs to show insight into what the film is doing.

An example of a bad thesis statement would be: “Through shots, The Immigrant shows us that Charlie is out of money.”

Ax example of a good thesis would be: “By establishing the space of the restaurant and cutting between the activities of the wait staff and The Tramp’s (Charlie Chaplin) table, The Immigrant creates a sense of comic suspense about whether The Little Tramp will be able to pay for his meal.”

Per the prompt, you are not merely analyzing a segment of one of these films. It needs to be a complete essay in which you use your analysis to present a coherent argument about what the film, or at least the scene, is accomplishing in your introduction and conclusion.

Here is a guiding set of questions to form an argument that frames your analysis: What does the filmmaker accomplish by using all these formal tools together in terms of a) the film’s narrative, b) the emotional resonance of the scene (how is it meant to make the viewer feel?), and/or c) in the development of the film’s characters?

Don’t go over one-to-three minutes of screen time, as this presents plenty of material for a two-page paper. Focusing on smaller segments will allow you to demonstrate your skills in film analysis with greater precision and detail.

If the scene lasts longer than three minutes (as is often the case), write about the one-to-three minutes that you find most important.

There is no wrong or right scene to analyze between these two films, and any segment from either of these films is eligible.

this is the rubric for the project

Overview

Project 2 is an 800-1000 word literature review arguing that a scholarly conversation on a topic has changed—or has not changed—over a period of time. This project uses at least four sources, two of which must be published between 2000 and 2010, and two of which must be published between 2011 and 2017. Project 2 is a Global Citizens Assignment that conforms to Learning Outcomes objectives D, E, and F.

Early Draft

The early draft will be an outline that presents your main points with supporting evidence. Include sources and evidence in the form of quotes or paraphrasing in addition to your argument.

Intermediate Draft

The intermediate draft should be an 800-1,000 word literature review that argues how a scholarly conversation about your chosen topic has changed—or not changed—over a period of time, using two sources published between 2000 and 2010 and two sources published between 2011 and 2016. You should integrate summarized, paraphrased, and quoted materials from your four sources to demonstrate your understanding and provide support for your thesis.

Turning in your intermediate draft late may result in not being able to participate in peer review.

Peer Review

Follow assignment guidelines as outlined by your instructor. Using MyReviewers, you will provide feedback via peer review. The peer review process allows you to respond to your peers’ drafts as fellow writers working toward the common goal of producing properly formatted, useful and insightful essays. Both you and your peers will be using each other’s comments and recommendations to improve your work. Thus, your individual commitment to peer review has a real impact on the success of the entire class.

Final Draft

The final draft should be a 800-1,000-word revised literature review that argues how a scholarly conversation about a chosen topic has changed—or not changed—over a period of time, using two sources published between 2000 and 2010 and two sources published between 2011 and 2016. You should ensure that your claim is fully supported with summarized, paraphrased, and quoted material drawn from your four chosen sources. The final draft will reflect significant revisions based upon instructor and peer feedback.

Project Description/Assignment

For this project, you will find six sources surrounding your topic question and create an annotated bibliography. Then narrow those six sources down to four (two sources published between 2000 and 2010 and two sources published between 2011 and 2016) that demonstrate change or lack of change in perspective over time.

You will create an 800-1,000 word literature review concerning global and cultural interrelationships and interdependencies across place and time that includes the following:

  1. An introduction that states your thesis (a claim) about how the scholarly conversation has changed over time
  2. Evidence from the research you did in Project 1 to support your thesis; quote, summarize, and paraphrase according to MLA or APA guidelines
  3. Four sources from your annotated bibliography, two sources published between 2000 and 2010, and two sources published between 2011 and 2016
  4. Connections between sources (comparisons and contrasts) to support your argument

Purpose

In Project 2, you will research and write a literature review that argues how a scholarly conversation about your chosen topic has changed–or not changed–over a period of time. Your audience for this project is an academic audience who is unfamiliar with the topic and changes in perspectives regarding the topic. Project 1 lays the foundation of research and understanding of scholarship concerning global and cultural interrelationships and interdependencies across place and time. You will further develop your research question to reflect the evolution of the research process as it moves from an annotated bibliography to an evidence-based academic essay.

Assessment

This assignment will be evaluated using the Project 2 Rubric and the guidelines listed above.

Terms You Should Know

  • Literature Review: A report that overviews and evaluates scholarship about a topic
  • Conversation: Two sides of a topic, often contrasting

case law analysis- business entities

/in /by

PART ONE

Case Law Analysis – Business Entities

In this unit you, you will select a case law pertaining to the topic of business entities.

Each case law analysis allows you to express yourself as clearly and fully as possible in dissecting a court decision. The purpose of the assignment is two-fold:

  1. To give you the opportunity to read a real court decision.
  2. To challenge you to think about how you would have decided the case. In your case law analyses, you must be able to navigate the court’s decision and summarize it; you are not expected to act as a judge or an advocate.

Using your selected court decision, prepare an analysis that responds to the following:

  1. Articulates the importance, context, purpose, and relevance of law in a business environment:
    • Identify the parties who are before the court.
    • Provide a brief background to problem. Summarize the facts in no more than 2–3 paragraphs.
    • Identify what is the specific disagreement between the parties.
    • Explain the ruling of the court in no more than 1–2 paragraphs.
  2. Evaluate legal options to create a business entity.
    • Was there a dissenting opinion? If so, explain why some of the judges or justices disagreed with the majority in the decision.
    • Compare to other types of business entities-would the party have been in a better position if they formed as a different type of legal business entity?
    • Do you agree with the court’s decision? Why or why not?

You may choose any court case, either state or federal, as the basis for your case law analysis; however, the case should be applicable to the assignment topic. The recommended Web sites for researching and locating a case are listed in the Resources area.

Your analysis should be no more than two pages, double-spaced. References and citations are to adhere to APA formatting and style guidelines. Prior to submitting your assignment, be sure to review the scoring guide to ensure you have met all of the grading criteria.

Consider Costco, which must design a strategy that will lead to success in the Amazon environment.

Costco

Costco has enjoyed healthy sales and profit growth generally in the 6–10 percent range through the Amazon era. In 2016 it had grown to nearly 120 billion in sales with nearly $2.5 billion in profit that come from over 700 stores (up from 600 in 2011).

Costco focuses on low prices and high volume with a target market of small businesses and large families. The low prices in part comes from an operational strategy that leads to a cost advantage. The assortment is limited; there is usually only one brand for any category, which gives Costco significant market power and logistic efficiencies. Where a typical Walmart Supercenter carries over 140,000 products, Costco carries fewer than 4,000. The items are generally bulk-packaged, which means customers buy more of the item on their Costco trips and the brand involved can justify having Costco sell the brand at a sharply lower price. It has a well-regarded house brand, Kirkland, that is sold at a very low profit margin—around 15 percent mark-up—and generates about 12 percent of the sales. Most products are delivered to the warehouse on shipping pallets and these pallets are used to display products for sale on the warehouse floor. Costco does not have a large advertising budget.

Costco has a membership model, which generates a close customer relationship and commitment plus significant revenue since the memberships represent about 15 percent of the value of the firm. The in-store experience is unique with many tasting opportunities, some upscale brands, and a lot of energy. The meat and produce selections have an outstanding quality reputation and include many organic options.

Costco was behind in e-commerce in 2016, generating only about 3 percent of sales. The firm had a slow start and a rather poor web presence compared to Amazon and even to its other competitors.

FOR DISCUSSION

  • 1.Why is Costco immune from the Amazon threat? Will that continue going forward? What are the strengths and weaknesses?
  • 2.How should Costco react to the Amazon threat? Besides create a more competitive website, is there anything that Costco could do to leapfrog competitors on the e-commerce side?
  • 3.How does Amazon’s recent purchase of Whole Foods threaten Costco? What should Costco do in response?
