PLEASE READ THE DIRECTIONS CLEARLY TO UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT.

I have attached the part 1 which it was done few weeks ago, and now I have te Assignment: Final Project (Part 2)

Resources
Read/review the following resources for this activity:

• Textbook: Chapter 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
• Textbook: Integrative Case 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10
• Link (website):  
• Minimum of 3 outside resources 

Introduction

The final project in this course will give you an opportunity to apply what you have learned about organizational theory to analyze a business and suggest organizational improvements based on your findings. 

Activity Instructions

You will identify an organization public, private, or non-profit that you will be able to become intricately involved with. You will apply what you have learned in the course through readings and on-line discussions to define a problem within the organization. 

You will gather information from people with direct content to the organization. You may supplement this information with data from the media, the organization’s literature, and other secondary sources. Speaking to individuals involved will allow you to know the organization on a deeper level and strengthen the application of what you have learned. 

The problem within the organization that you will solve should be recent and one that you need to analyze to be able to evaluate the root cause. You want to be able to understand what is causing the issue or concern in the organization (i.e. high turnover, attendance concerns, union activity, low morale, motivations, low commitment, etc.).  

Key assignment goals:

1.   One goal of this assignment is to take the initiative to make a positive contribution to an organization. 

2.   Another major goal is to provide an opportunity for you to learn more about organizational behavior first hand. Using your critical thinking and reflection skills, you will link your experience with this organization to your knowledge of organizational behavior theory. 

3.   The final goal is to provide feedback to one other student. This will help you strengthen your final submission as well as your peer’s final submission.

4.   The final paper will describe what you did for the organization, what you learned about organizational behavior, and what steps the company could take to rectify the situation. 

Questions that should be contained in the final paper:

A.   Describe the organizational context, identify the parties involved, and evaluate all factors that would be important in understanding the problem or situation.

B.   What are the issues or problems facing the organization?

C.   What course concepts can be applied to understand the reason this problem is occurring?

D.   What recommendations can you offer to help improve organizational functioning? 

Part 2: Final Paper (Due This Week) 

This written project should summarize what you recommend for the organization and what you have learned about organizational behavior. Be sure to address the questions in the Activity Instructions.  

You should consider using appendices to support your findings. Use charts, figures, and other background material. Be sure to reference this information within the paper.

Required Resources
Read/review the following resources for this activity:

Textbook: Review chapter(s) applicable to your presentation

Lesson

Headset microphone (If your computer does not already have a built-in microphone, then you can find this item under the Additional Items section in the bookstor

Link (website): Narrated PowerPoint Tutorial (Make sure to review this tutorial before you begin recording.)

Minimum of 4 scholarly sources (from Weeks 5 & 6)

Introduction
Your PowerPoint presentation is due this week. Most of you will have a mic built into your computer, but if you don’t, then you are required to obtain a headset microphone to produce the PowerPoint narration. Headset microphones can be purchased from the bookstore or at any electronics or discount store for between $10-25. When purchasing a headset microphone, consider the ports available on the computer being used and purchase accordingly.

In addition, you should take the time to review the Resources tab for technology guidance so that you will be ready to complete your speech on time. Of course, if you face technical trouble, there is support available.

Review the Narrated PowerPoint Tutorial (in Required Resources) for instructions on how to record the narration.

Instructions
The following are the best practices for creating your speech presentation:

Title Slide: Include the title, audience (who you prepared the presentation for: school or institution), the presenter who prepared and narrated, and the date.

Attention-Getter: Give the audience a reason to pay attention. Make them want to listen to your speech.

Thesis: Clearly state the purpose of your presentation

(On this slide, establish the tone of the presentation and include any questions you think your audience might have about your topic – questions you will answer during your presentation).

Body of the Presentation (multiple slides): Include the information you found during your research and organize it in a visually pleasing manner.

Use some type of division like levels of headers or titles.

Use words and phrases to clarify key points.

Provide researched evidence for each point.

Cite your evidence, quotes, and statistics within your presentation using

in-text citations ( ) on the slides as well as full reference citations on the

last slide.

Include images to add visual appeal to the slides.

Summary and Conclusion: Summarizing is similar to paraphrasing but presents the gist of the material in fewer words than the original. An effective summary identifies the main ideas and major support points from the body of your outline or presentation. Minor details are left out. Summarize the benefits of the ideas and how they affect the thesis statement of the outline and main objective of the presentation. End with a final strong statement regarding the intent of the presentation.

References: Use the APA citation format. The illustrations should be included with your resources. APA tutorials are available in the Chamberlain University library. Keep in mind the following:

At least 4 authoritative, outside scholarly sources are required from Week 6 outline. (Anonymous authors or web pages are not acceptable.)

Appropriate citations within the presentation are required on the last slide. Just copy and paste this from the last page of your outline – the References page. References should be in APA format.

Each resource should be entirely double spaced.

All entries must use hanging indents – the first line is flush left, and all the rest are indented.

All Chamberlain University policies are in effect including the plagiarism policy.

Additional Hints

Use a minimum of 5 visual aids to further clarify and support the written part of your presentation. You could use example graphs, diagrams, photographs, flowcharts, maps, drawings, pictograms, tables, and Gantt charts. If a slide appears boring, then strongly consider adding a visual. It is the blend of text and images that make the slides engaging for the audience.

Animation and video clips should not be used for this speech. YouTube is not allowed.

Do not type out text onto the slide and then read it during your presentation. Remember, you are the teacher, so teach, don’t read!

Java uses a syntax based on the C family of programming languages, which includes C++, C# (used in Windows) and Objective C (used in iOS and Mac OSX). Like many languages, Java’s syntax is characterized by defining keywords and structural elements that indicate the boundaries and interactions of sections of code.

For this discussion, pick TWO of the below listed topics and explore it using the course textbook and learning activities, and any additional resources you might find from an Internet search. Respond to the questions provided with the item you select. Note: this is a discussion board, not a research paper, so focus on your thoughts, ideas, and any relevant experience.

Topic 1: Consider the use of curly brackets, square brackets, and semi-colons in Java. What purpose might these serve? What would the code be like without them? Do you consider them necessary or a nuisance? Please explain your answer.

Topic 2: Java uses keywords to indicate certain features of a section of code. Examples include “public,” “private,” and “extends.” Discuss the use of keywords in Java. In your post provide an example and how it is used. Discuss the importance of Java keywords.

Topic 3: Discuss how Java syntax compares with another language that you have some familiarity with. Share your perspective on whether one or the other is easier or harder to use, whether the code it produces is more or less easy to understand, and what your personal preference is. Please be sure to explain your answers.

Topic 4: Some languages are better suited for certain kinds of applications than others. Consider what kinds of applications Java might be best suited for, and why. In your post, provide two examples where Java is an ideally suited programming language. Explain your answer.
