Leadership concerns influencing others and is fundamentally a matter of human relationships. Whether we realize it or not, we all have a theory about human nature. What is yours? Here are some questions to consider in your essay: 

  • How can those in leadership positions ensure they are using their power ethically?
  • Discuss a time in which you (or someone else you know) reverted to using position power to influence others. Looking back, would you have done anything differently?
  • Has a person in a leadership or management position ever asked you (or someone you know) to do something unethical on the job? What did you do and what was your justification in doing so?
  • What can leaders and followers do to overcome ethical challenges involving power and influence?

Length: 350 – 500 words (roughly 1 – 1 ½ pages double-spaced 12 point Times New Roman font). Save your essay in Microsoft Word and upload it here. 

Please give thoughtful consideration to all of the concepts presented in MC4401 thus far. In addition, keep in mind that this assessment will measure the following student learning outcome: Discuss and evaluate the skills, traits and actions of an ethical leader in a variety of situations

Business environment

Based on what we learned from strategy, state and describe two strategic challenges a US firm could face opening an international operation. One challenge should be within the firm (resources, capabilities, competencies, etc) the other should be industry related (5 forces, strategic positioning etc)

Example1:To begin an “international operation” can be a very relative term. It makes a big difference in strategic challenges if firms in the US are looking to expand to places like Europe and Asia versus Mexico and Canada. Mexico and Canada are geographically more convenient compared to overseas countries. For the sake of this discussion, I will be referring to “international operations” in reference to general issues and challenges a US firm will encounter.

Now two strategic challenges a US firm could face opening an international operation would be cultural/language barriers and more competition/cheaper substitutes. When a US firm decides to expand internationally they need to be able to understand the language so they can efficiently communicate with their overseas business partners, employees, and customers. Language is also necessary for bargaining, so it is more beneficial if a firm is able to communicate on their own without a translator, where things can be miscommunicated or misinterpreted. A US firm also needs to be able/willing to adapt to the culture, customs, and laws of other countries. Not adapting would be a huge sign of disrespect and could negatively reflect on one’s firm. The other huge challenge a US firm will face in international operation is that we will be considered a foreign company in other countries. They will have plenty of pre-existing competition in other countries along with their ability to manufacture products locally and for a lower cost. Before even considering going international it is vital for a US firm to evaluate other countries’ markets and make sure that their business can survive in the locations that they are looking into

Example2:There are many challenges US firms could face by taking their operations abroad. In terms of one they could face within the firm, organizational and managerial skills are a huge factor in their capabilities department. Without forming some sort of cultural profile on the country they wish to open operations in, the US could be doomed for failure from the start. There are vast cultural differences throughout the world that, if not adapted to properly, could lead to a tailspin and, ultimately, failure. Before even looking at available resources, a firm must do research on the country they wish to open in, study the culture, and determine if their current leaders and managers are equipped to handle the change. If not, they would need to either rethink their location or establish a new managerial sector for that country’s operation altogether.

As for industry related challenges, one challenge could be the power of the buyers. If the firm comes in with a standard commodity, not only do they need to worry about rivalry (another industry related challenge) but they would also need to consider the fact that with standard commodities come high power for the buyers. With standard commodities, buyers can easily shop around and obtain information on pricing of similar products to see if your pricing fair. Some countries do allow for the customers to bargain for products and in order to be successful, a firm must be able to compete. For instance, in the US, a lot of big chain retailers will price match each other. Now usually they require you to show proof including barcode information, price without deals and such info. However, in other countries sometimes it is just a free for all form of negotiation. If the customer knows they can get a better price elsewhere, they have the power to negotiate and talk down the price, maybe even lower than they would have to pay elsewhere, because the buyer has more power. 

C++, cash register

/in /by

 Create a class that implements a cash register. A user of the cash register object should be able to record the sale of up to 25 items. The program should loop until the user enters ‘Q’ to quit. When the user enters ‘Q’ the cash register should print the items and a total to the screen (don’t worry about tax). 

 

The program should loop, asking the user what they would like to do. There are 3 options:

  • P – Prompt the user for an item. This includes the item name and price. Store this information in the cash register as a separate object (an CItem object). I recommend storing the CItem object in an array of CItems (or an STL vector of CItems if you wish).
  • C – Calculate and display the total of all items stored in the cash register object.
  • Q – Quit the program if the user enters ‘Q’.

 

Your solution must contain the following:

  • A class named CRegister which contains a private (Links to an external site.) array of CItems. Use a function to add to the CItem to the CRegister class (something like ‘void AddItem(CItem& item) { <your code goes here> }“. You will also need a way to store the current number of CItems in the array. How you do that is up to you.
  • A class named CItems that stores private (Links to an external site.) variables: string called name and a double called price.
  • A function called “TotalMe” in the CRegister that loops over all of it’s items and prints their name and the total.
  • A loop in main that loops until the user enters ‘Q’ or 25 items have been purchased.
  • Using only Accessor and Mutator (Links to an external site.) functions to get and set the data in the CRegister and CItem classes. 

URGENT – Need help with project communication and HR plan – due 5/30

Create two documents: a project communication plan and the Human Resource Plan that includes RAM (Resource Assignment Matrix)

(COMMUNICATION TEMPLATE ATTACHED)

Project Communication Plan Elements: During the planning phase of your project, you need to create a high-level Communication Management Plan that defines the general communication requirements for your project. Although there are some standard items to include in your plans, such as Project Kick-Off, Review, Status, and Team Meetings, it’s important to spend time gathering input from all stakeholder groups to ensure the plan is comprehensive. That said, it’s also important to note that changes may need to be made to the plan as the project moves forward. 

This plan should include: 

 The plan’s purpose and approach 

 Communication goals and objectives 

 Communication roles 

 Communication tools and methods 

 High-level project communication messages 

Human Resource Plan Elements: When Planning Human Resource Management, the first thing is to identify all the project roles and responsibilities (RAM). Documenting the reporting relationships and the staffing management plan are key to the planning process. Project roles are roles taken up by individuals or groups within or outside of the project itself. 

Minimally, your human resource plan should include: 

 Roles and responsibilities of team members throughout the project 

 Project organization charts 

 Staffing Management 

Plan to Include: 

o How resources will be acquired 

o Timeline for resources/skill sets 

o Training required to develop skills 

o How performance reviews will be conducted 

o Recognition and rewards system

 Assignment Guidelines: 

 Project communication plan: Three pages in length, excluding the Title and Reference pages. 

 Human Resource plan: Three pages in length, excluding the Title and Reference pages. 

 APA format, including in-text citations for referenced works. .

There are two types of informal reports:

  1. Informational Reports contain straight information and provides short timely updates. Informational reports include these sub-genres: progress report (summarize specific accomplishments on a particular project), activity report(summarize general activities during a particular period). Trip reports and meeting minutes also fall under informational reports.
  2. Analytical Reports include information but they also include interpretations and conclusions based on that information. According to our textbook, “Analysis is the heart of technical communication. Analysis involves evaluating information, interpreting it accurately, drawing valid conclusions, and making persuasive recommendations” (2017, pp. 473). Analytical reports include these sub-genres: feasibility report, recommendation report, peer review report, justification report. Note: You will be responsible for drafting an analytical report for your final exam document.  

Progress reports monitor progress and problems on various project. Just as an employer might, I will use this report to evaluate projects I have assigned, monitor your progress, and decide if the course and assignments need altered. See the example report, Figure 20.2, on page 476 of your textbook.  Periodic activity reports summarizes general activities over a specified period of time. This type of report is used by employers to help them monitor workloads. Periodic reports can also include the following: incident reports, sales reports, progress reports, Since this is a newly designed course, I am interested to know how the workload balances out. See the example, Figure 20.3, on page 477 of your textbook.

you must draft a ONE-PAGE Progress Report arranged around a set of dates. Use the example on page 476 of your textbook.

I am mainly looking for inclusions here. What did you include? Was it sufficient for me to make a determination of whether or not the course load is balanced, the materials are clear and specific, and the course is organized in a logical manner? Here is a list of things I need to know:

  • Progress you have made
  • Problems you have encountered (how will/did you solve these problems)
  • Are you on schedule (if not, when will you be back on schedule)

Other items I am interested in:

  • Is it well organized
  • It is visually constructed for optimum readability
  • Does it include a purpose statement
  • Does it state the time period covered
  • Does it mention the work you still need to complete
  • Has it been proofread for grammatical errors

This is an informal report; however, it still needs to meet professional standards.
