Assignment details:

This assignment should be the final outcome of a semester’s worth of thinking critically about various issues regarding Othering within Western culture, in relation to modern times. Your task is to: Find a relevant and contemporary example of a specific theme, argument, or issue from any of the texts covered in order to demonstrate the continued relevance of the text and the points raised within it. Some of the other broader philosophical elements we have covered this semester should be included in your research: logical fallacies, the symbolic meaning of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, Relativism (cultural or subjective), Cognitive Dissonance, etc. In order to expand upon the point, theme, or argument you have chosen, you will need to use at least 2-3 additional sources, besides your chosen text

Topic for the Paper:

One of the more impactful books on my life that we have read this course is White Rage by Carol Anderson. Even though we have just started reading I feel as if the history that is being revealed in this book is very personal to me due to racial background. Not only is Racism one attribute that I want to focus on within this paper, but also the aspect of “Othering”. Carol Anderson, Ph.D. takes on the realistic view of American history as she tries to uncover the truth of who’s rage is truly at work and how white rage makes sure to alienate and oppress those of Black/African (as they were not American citizens yet) heritage.

Paper rubric:

1” margins, 12 pt font, Times New Roman

Single spaced heading, double spaced body, no cover page is necessary

Length: As long as it needs to be, but no shorter than 4 full pgs.

Tuition Reimbursement

/in /by

 

The importance of tuition reimbursement as an employee benefit can’t be ignored. In a recent State of the American Workplace survey report, Gallup found that 45% of Millennials say they would change their jobs for tuition reimbursement benefits, and 65% of HR decision-makers say that failing to attract and/or retain Millennial or Gen Z employees could have a negative impact on the business.

You are the HR manager for a medium-sized company that wants to implement such a program, and the CEO wants you to make recommendations for this plan. He has asked you to determine what the “ideal” tuition reimbursement program should look like—in other words, what are the key features and stipulations?

Your initial posting should address the following questions: 

  1. What employees will be eligible under this plan?  Will part-time employees be eligible?  If so, how many hours per week must they work in order to maintain eligibility?  
  2. How long must the employee be employed by the company in order to be eligible for this program?  
  3. What programs of study will be eligible under the plan?  For example, should an employee be allowed to seek a degree in any discipline or must it be job-related?  How will you determine eligibility of a broad-based program of study like business administration?  
  4. What is the level of cost that the company will take on?  Is there an annual cap on the benefit?  (Keep in mind that the IRS allows only $5,250 per year to be written off by an employer for an employee’s education costs, so anything above that amount will result in additional tax expenses for the employer.)
  5. Will the amount of tuition reimbursement be scaled according to grade requirements?  For example, in some companies, a grade of “A” receives full reimbursement, a grade of “B” is reimbursed at 75%, a grade of “C” is reimbursed at 50%, and lower grades are not reimbursed at all.  What will your plan specify? 
  6. Will you require an employee to remain on the job for a specific period of time after attaining his or her degree (sometimes known as “golden handcuffs)?  If the employee leaves before the specified period of time, will s/he be responsible for paying back some portion of the tuition?  If so, how much?

LASA 1—Preliminary Strategy Audit

The end result of this course is developing a strategy audit. In this module, you will outline and draft a preliminary framework for your final product. This provides you with the opportunity to get feedback before a final submission.

In Module 1, you reviewed the instructions for the capstone strategy audit assignment and grading rubric due in Module 5. By now, you have completed the following steps:

Identified the organization for your report

Interviewed at least one key mid-level or senior-level manager

Created a market position analysis

Conducted an external environmental scan in preparation of your final report and presentation

In this assignment, you will generate a preliminary strategy audit in preparation for your final course project.

Prepare a report that includes the following:

In preparation for your course project, prepare the preliminary strategy audit using the tools and framework you have focused on so far including the following:  

Analysis of the company value proposition, market position, and competitive advantage

External environmental scan/five forces analysis

Describe the most important (5–7) strategic issues facing the organization or business unit.

You may modify the strategic issues in your final report based on the additional analysis you will conduct in the next module as well as the feedback you receive on this paper from your instructor.

Keep in mind that it is important to look at the strategic issue(s) from more than just one perspective in the business unit or company—speak to or research the issue from more than one angle to offer a 360-degree approach that does not cause more problems or issues.

Strategic issues arise from a mismatch between internal capabilities and external trends such that important opportunities are not being pursued or significant external threats are not being addressed under the current strategy.

Include a preliminary set of recommended tactics for improving your company’s strategic alignment and operating performance.

You may modify these recommendations in your final report based on the additional analysis you will conduct in the next module as well as the feedback you receive on this paper from your instructor.

Keep in mind that recommendations can include, but are not limited to, tactics in marketing, branding, alliances, mergers and acquisitions, integration, product development, diversification or divestiture, and globalization. If you recommend your company to go global, you must include a supply chain analysis and an analysis of your firm’s global capabilities.

Write your report as though you are a consultant to your company and are addressing the executive officers of this company. 

Write a 7 page report in Word format. Make sure your writing is clear, concise, and in an organized manner; demonstrates ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and displays accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Use the following format for your report:

Cover page

Executive summary/abstract

Table of contents

Introduction to company (each subsection should be an assessment)

Value proposition

Market position

Competitive advantage

External environmental scan/five forces analysis

Current environment

Assessment of external factors applying five forces

Strategic issues (label each issue and provide a header and the reason for why it is an issue)

Summary/key findings and recommendations

References

Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

due in 48 hours

discussions are below:

  

Planning Theory [WLO: 1] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3]

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapter 1: Differences Between Lines and Circles (which discusses planning theory) and Chapter 2: Programs: Containers for Idea Implementation from the textbook Comparative Approaches to Program Planning.

Select two of the planning theories (i.e., synoptic, incremental, advocacy, transactive, or radical) which were discussed in Comparative Approaches to Program Planning. How might the two selected theories relate or not relate to your current or desired line of work in the human services realm? Describe this relation or lack of relation in detail, and cite at least one other scholarly source in your discussion. To help determine whether a source is scholarly or not, see the Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) tip sheet.

Prescriptive Approaches [WLO: 3] [CLO: 5]

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read the rational planning and prescriptive approach case from Chapter 3: Rational Planning and Prescriptive Approaches in your Comparative Approaches to Program Planning text.

The case and the chapter both are intended to get you thinking about not just rational planning, but also prescriptive approaches. In this instance, do you believe that the political context is vital, or do you believe that the political influence got in the way of problem-solving that is technically and professionally grounded? That said, how would you have approached this case from a planning perspective?

Program Planning and Modification [WLO: 1] [CLO: 1]

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapter 4: Interpretive Planning and Emergent Approaches in Comparative Approaches to Program Planning.

How do you determine when a program modification is necessary? What do you believe are the most vital steps to modifying an existing, but inefficient or defunct program?

Program Planning and Ethical Considerations [WLO: 1] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 6]

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapter 5: Knowing When to Use Which Planning Approach in Comparative Approaches to Program Planning.

Based on what you have learned from your readings in Comparative Approaches to Program Planning pertaining to the “when” and “which” questions, what ethical considerations will you face, or have you faced, as you craft your proposal for the final Research Proposal Project?

How have you addressed these ethical concerns?

What have you learned about ethical violations in research this week through the required reading and reading you have completed on your own?

Program Planning, Research, and Cultural Contexts [WLOs: 1, 2, 3] [CLOs: 1, 2]

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapter 6 in the Netting, O’Connor, and Fauri text and the Section IV: Strategies That Address Culturally Responsive Evaluation (Links to an external site.) handbook section by Fierson, Hood, and Hughes.

“Culture” has become more of an integral component to research in the social sciences. Briefly describe the importance of incorporating cultural concepts into the planning and modification of a program. In greater detail, define how you would evaluate a program based on its inclusion or omission of cultural context. While completing this discussion forum, consider ways that you can address the cultural context within your Research Proposal Project draft due in Week 6, as well as within the draft due Day 7 of this week.

Module 1 – Case ACTION RESEARCH AND ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

/in /by

  Assignment Overview

For this assignment, first carefully review the required background materials. Make sure you are highly familiar with the main steps involved in action research and organizational development discussed in the readings. When you are finished reviewing the background materials, take a close look at the scenario in the Case Assignment below.

Case Assignment

Action research is the process of inquiry that is used to assist an individual or organization in solving a problem or improving a situation. For each scenario below, think about the reasons why things did not work out well for the company and more specifically, think about action research in terms of developing a plan for action.

Your task for this assignment is to explain what steps the organization should take by reviewing the standard action research and organizational development steps covered in the background materials. Try to assess which key step is missing in the scenario below.

Then write a 4- to 5-page paper using three scholarly sources from the required and optional readings list addressing the following for the scenario below:

The Perils of XYZ Widget Company

Sales have gone down at the XYZ Widget Company and nobody in the organization, including the CEO, seems to know why. They decide to hire you, an organizational development consultant, to do some action research. You and the CEO spend a lot of time discussing how to proceed and create a contract. The contract specifies that you will limit the scope to finding factors that led to the decrease in sales, come up with a plan of action within one month, and answer the following questions using the background data from the scenario below.

Scenario:

XYZ Widget Company has lost 20% of its market share over the past two years resulting in a sales loss of 1.5 million in 2017 and 2 million in 2018 for a total of $3.5 million. Each widget costs the consumer $29.99 to purchase, and the average customer will purchase three widgets annually. Each XYZ widget is produced for $8 dollars and is of higher quality than the competition.

One competitor (Jim’s Widgets) in the widget industry with a similar product has increased market share by 12% due to a lower production cost of $4 per unit and price to the consumer of $9.99.

The CEO of XYZ Widget Company is reluctant to lower prices and has had to eliminate commissions and bonuses of sales employees who exceed goals. In addition, seven of the 21-member sales team were laid off for non-performance of sales goals.

Develop an Action Research Strategy Plan covering the following Action Research Phases in a report to the CEO.

· Data gathering and Diagnosis

· Feedback

· Planning Change

· Intervention

· Evaluation

1. What are the reasons behind the decrease in sales?

2. What actions or strategy (data/sales/changes) should be taken to turn sales around and regain market share?

3. What strategy should be taken to increase employee morale?

4. How long should this strategy take to complete?

Assignment Expectations

· Answer the assignment questions directly.

· Stay focused on the precise assignment questions; don’t go off on tangents or devote a lot of space to summarizing general background materials.

· Make sure to use reliable and credible sources as your references. Articles published in established newspapers or business journals/magazines are preferred. If you use articles from the Internet, make sure they are from credible sources.

· Case Assignments are to be prepared in Microsoft Word and should be 4-5 pages in length, in addition to a cover page (course name and number, module number, session name, student name, and date prepared) and reference list (double-spaced, 12 pt. type, Times New Roman font). The paper should include a 2- to 3-sentence introduction, body, and 2- to 3-sentence conclusion in addition to Trident University International’s cover page and a reference list page in APA format.

· Support your research with three references that include at least one reference from a peer-reviewed academic journal or textbook found in Trident University’s online library.

· Report content should include a brief introduction to the assignment, background information about the organization being studied, the organizational chart, and your discussion of organizational structure in terms of the concepts or theories being applied in the assignment.

· Use subtitles, bullets, and tables to improve presentation values.

 Assume that an unfair labor practice charge was filed against your company by several employees and three prospective employees. See the form linked below indicating the charge, which outlines the scenario below: 

FORMNLRB-501: Case 4689-3 

On July 29, 2016, Delphi Golf, Inc. and the union entered a collective bargaining agreement. The majority of the company’s employees covered by the agreement had not designated the union as their collective-bargaining representative. The agreement contains a union-security clause requiring employees who are members in good standing of the union to maintain their membership in good standing and all other employees to become members of the union on or before the 31st day following the effective date of the agreement or the date of their hire. The union instructed Delphi Golf, Inc. not to employ three servers for restaurant positions in the company because the servers were not members of the union. The company is an employer within the meaning of Section 2(2) of the act engaged in commerce within the meaning of Section 2(6) and (7) of the act. Explain in a two-page essay the process and steps your company will have to take to defend this action. Explain the defenses to the action and if the union employees have valid claims. What actions by the employer should have been done differently, if at all? What actions by the union should have been done differently? Who, if anyone, is liable? You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying APA style citations. Information about accessing the grading rubric for this assignment is provided below.

deductive

/in /by

Exercise: Deductive & Inductive Reasoning 

 In Chapter 3, you have read about the two types of human reasoning, “deductive” and “inductive.” Deductive reasoning relies on logical  relationships between claims and tells us, given what we know or assume  to be true, what must necessarily be true. Consider the following example of a deductive argument in the form of modus ponens:

Premise 1: If it is raining outside, then I have an umbrella.  

Premise 2: It is raining outside. 

Conclusion: Therefore, I have an umbrella.

 In this example, if the premises are  both true, then the conclusion is guaranteed to be true. What this means  is that premise 1 and premise 2 are logically related such that if both  are true, then the truth of the conclusion is required. In other words,  if it is true that “if it is raining outside, then I have an umbrella,”  and it is true that “it is raining outside,” then it cannot be false  that “I have an umbrella”….because that’s just what it means to say “if it is raining outside, then I have an umbrella.” You may be thinking, though, that it is  quite possible that it is raining outside but I forget my umbrella. But  notice that this would make the first premise false. It is false that  “if it is raining outside, then I have an umbrella,” when it is raining  outside, but I don’t have an umbrella. In fact, that are no conditions under  which it is true that “if it is raining outside, then I have an  umbrella,” and it is raining outside, but I don’t have an umbrella. This  is because, again, that’s just what it means to say that “if it is raining outside, then I have an umbrella.” On pp. 45-46, you read about some of the most common deductive argument forms and you saw examples of each. These are: modus ponens, modus tollens, and the hypothetical syllogism.You may see more deductive argument forms here: Deductive Argument Forms Because moral arguments are always  deductive, you read more about them than about inductive arguments.  Still, inductive arguments are an important part of human reasoning so I  will say a bit more about them here. Rather than relying on logical  relationships between claims, inductive arguments draw conclusions on  the basis of observation and experimentation. Inductive reasoning, then,  is the backbone of the scientific method. While deductive reasoning is  characteristic of logic and mathematics, inductive reasoning is  characteristic of the applied sciences. At a very basic level, we are taking inductive reasoning for granted when we assume that the world really is  the way we observe it to be. For instance, I observe a computer screen  in front of me, so I assume that there really is a computer screen in  front of me. But is it guaranteed that there is a computer screen in front of me simply because I observe it? You might reply, “Well, of course, and  you can touch it too!” However, if you have ever had a very vivid dream,  or if you have seen the 1999 movie, “The Matrix,” then you will admit  that there are situations we can imagine in which I observe a computer  screen, but there really isn’t one there. (A note: This question of whether, and  to what extent, we can rely on our observations will become relevant  again in our module on environmental and animal ethics. It will be  discussed further there, along with ethical issues related to scientific  claims. It is also a topic we discuss in my Introduction to Philosophy  class quite a bit.) For a critical thinking class, though, our goal is to determine what is most likely true, or what is most reasonable to believe.  I typically say to students at this point, “It is not most reasonable  to believe that we are in the Matrix, so we will leave this problem of  induction behind for now…” Then one semester, a student replied,  “Yeah, I bet that’s what people in the Matrix think too.” Indeed! Yet, at some point, if we need to decide  what we should do, we must make that decision about what is most  reasonable to believe. Overall, there just aren’t enough things we know  with the strength of deductive reasoning to rely only on what is  guaranteed to be true. When we don’t know what is guaranteed,  we must still decide what is most likely true. That is exactly what  science helps us to do. In particular, the scientific method helps us to  make good generalizations and is indispensable to causal reasoning. Read more about inductive reasoning here: 

Kris Barton & Barbara G. Tucker: Inductive Reasoning ______________________________________________________ 

For this assignment, you will be demonstrating your understanding of deductive and inductive reasoning. First, create your own example of each  of the three deductive argument forms discussed on pp. 45-46: modus  pones, modus tollens, and hypothetical syllogism. I gave an example of  one, modus ponens, above, about it raining outside and me having an  umbrella. That’s exactly what I’m asking you to do. Don’t use my example  or an example from the book or internet. Just think of your own example  to show you can create the argument forms. It is only necessary to create one  example of each argument. Please state the argument so that the logical  form is apparent rather than discussing your argument in a passage. You  may use this format: 

1. premise 

2. premise

 3. conclusion

 Your examples should look just like my example of modus ponens above, only with your own original content. To show your understanding of inductive  reasoning, answer the following using the reading in the textbook and  the link provided above: 

1. What is inductive reasoning?

2. How does inductive reasoning differ from deductive reasoning?

 3. What is a generalization? 

4. What is causal reasoning?

 5. What is sign reasoning? 

6. What is analogical reasoning? 

7. Describe a situation where you have used one of the types of inductive reasoning that you defined in questions 2-5. To be clear, your submission to this  dropobox should include:

 1) one original example for each of the three  deductive argument forms, and 

2) your answers to the seven questions  above.
