This is primarily a brainstorming activity. Provide the best ideas for solutions that you can, and give the best feedback for those solutions, but don't worry about being absolutely correct--this discussion board is for creative idea generation. Initial Post Post a summary of your problem including symptoms, effects and causes. Your post must describe your business problem and propose 2 possible solutions. Specifically: Briefly describe the problem in 10+ sentences, including symptoms, effects and causes. Use ideas from your assignment previously submitted. Propose 2 solutions to this problem of 3-5 sentences of explanation per solution. Note: in your upcoming assignments, you will need support from online research for your solution with benefits, so you may want to start that research now. It is optional for this post. NOTE: One solution cannot be "do nothing" or the equivalent--you must propose 2 viable, active solutions. Then for each of the solutions, briefly indicate the Pros (2-3 sentences) and Cons (2-3 sentences) of each solution. Response Read one classmate's initial post. Hit "reply" under their post, and respond by answering the questions below. Just one post is needed for this response. Note: Your feedback will be very helpful to your classmate in upcoming assignments, starting with the Informative Outline.
For maximum points you will need to write a short summary of the article, a short summary of the related chapter in the textbook, and you own analysis of how the article relates to the concepts learned in the book. I suggest using a standard 3-5 paragraph structure: Opening paragraph, body paragraph(s) discussing the news article and the book chapter and a closing paragraph. You may use ANY news source for your current event, but you MUST copy and paste the link at the bottom of your response so that I can read it to confirm facts. Current event grading rubric: 1 point for choosing a current and relevant article, 1 point for your article summary, 1 point for your chapter summary, 2 points for your analysis of how the chapter relates to the article. A current event is a news story that has been published, in print or online, that has a theme related to politics. Your current event is meant to be practice for your exam essay writing, therefore, be organized and use the news story and the chapter material to analyze your thoughts. It will be important to follow the grading rubric below. this is the link for the book-https://openstax.org/books/american-government-3e/...
There are several ways of dealing with conflict. The styles that we may use to deal with conflict depend upon the type of conflict, the relationship and our own personal conflict styles. Identify and discuss the personal conflict styles including the advantages and disadvantages of each. Research this topic in at least three additional sources.
Overview Each week, you will submit a two-page journal entry on a topic defined by your instructor (see the following). These assignments are called journal entries because they require you to become self-aware, take a look at yourself and your relationships, and define a clear action plan for improvement. Journal Write a paper describing a time you experienced miscommunication or conflict. For example, you can describe an argument you had with someone, a misunderstanding due to language differences or other cultural difference, or an incident that lead to confusion for you and perhaps the other party. The incident you describe should be detailed, but feel free to change names of participants if you feel more comfortable. Use specific examples and set the scene for clarity. After you describe the conflict or misunderstanding in detail, analyze the situation. Why did this scenario play out the way it did? What role did you play in the misunderstanding? What could you have done differently? What could the other person have done differently? Analyze the types of nonlistening involved in the situation and use specific examples (Wood, pp. 173-176). How will you avoid this type of conflict in the future? In other words, did people openly disagree? Did they encourage open discussion of differences? Was conflict resolved? Did people yell, or talk respectfully? Secondly, what parts of these conflict scripts do you engage in now? What parts do you try to avoid? You may want to think back to your early childhood and adolescence and try to remember rules for conflict that your family modeled. What conflict scripts did you learn in your family?
Instructions Overview Each week, you will submit a two-page journal entry on a topic defined by your instructor (see the following). These assignments are called journal entries because they require you to become self-aware, take a look at yourself and your relationships, and define a clear action plan for improvement. These entries are private. Journal This journal entry requires you to draw on your insights and your powers of observation with family members, friends and/or coworkers to describe examples of nonlistening. This is a different observation experiment from the discussion board and there are some similarities in that you will set the scene. In this assignment, you will explore various types of nonlistening whether it is with your family or even a work situation, and could be extended to a virtual situation such as a zoom call. Students can use one family gathering or multiple instances where nonlistening is present and real-life examples need to have details. As in the discussion board assignment, please observe body language and the situational context: For example, were the individuals seated at a meal? engaged in a discussion? watching TV "together?" etc. Here you can describe with terminology (proxemics, synchronicity, haptics, immediacy, silence, etc.) and set the scene with relevant examples. You do have to set the scene as in the discussion board -- but also explain at least four types of nonlistening. In the course of a business day or being at home with family, we often experience all types of nonlistening. In addition, your textbook provides six forms of nonlistening and this will be important to evaluate with not only terminology but vivid examples: pseudolistening monopolizing selective listening defensive listening ambushing literal listening After reviewing them, think of a time when you and/or family members engaged in nonlistening (or didn't engage in listening, depending on how you look at it). This journal entry requires you to draw on your insights and your powers of observation between you and your family members, friends, enemies, or colleagues. As in the discussion board assignment, please observe body language and the situational context along with the relevant dialog. This is often a personal and eye-opening observational exercise. Describe the situation. What was the result of the nonlistening? What could have been done differently? What conclusions do you draw from this observational exercise?
1 = You are now ready to develop evaluation procedures for your program. Your evaluation plan should include: systematic evaluation processes and procedures Types of informal evaluation opportunities to collect summative evaluation data Type(s) of evaluation to be used (e.g., goals- and objectives-based, levels of evaluation, expert review) How evaluation data are collected (e.g., observations, surveys, focus groups, etc) How ROI will be measured Criteria for continuation of program 2 = Your questions to consider after reading chapter 12: Outline the type of program format you will use for your training program, an example schedule, and how the program will be staffed. How does your training program align with the information in Chapter 9 of the organizational ethics textbook in building an ethical organization? 3 = Prepare a detailed budget for your training program. 4 = Read case study 10.1 (found in Chapter 10 of the textbook), then respond to the following: What ethical responsibility did Purdue Pharma have in marketing OxyContin? What ethical issues in marketing are present in this case study? Apply specific ethical principles and strategies that could have prevented this situation. Use the course reading to support your response. book name = Johnson, C. E. (2022). Organizational ethics: A practical approach
You work for a corporation with multiple branches across the United States. You have been called to the East Coast headquarters to work on a training program that will be used nationwide. You will be meeting your team members—who come from various branches—for the first time and would like to communicate with them to introduce yourself before arriving. The following list has important information to know about each of their work cultures. The team is as follows: Sarah: At Sarah’s branch at company headquarters, her team values time, efficiency, and direct communication. She typically plans out every minute of her day and expects meetings to have clear agendas with concise information about daily tasks. The culture is low context and values certainty and formality. Sarah has worked in the organization for nearly 20 years. Joe: At the company’s Southeast branch, Joe’s team values a relaxed and informal atmosphere. He and his colleagues focus a lot of energy on developing genuine relationships and trust. Joe and his coworkers use a high-context communication style. Joe is the newest hire out of this branch but has been working in the organization for 10 years. Blake: At Blake’s branch in the Southwest, his team values collaborating, sharing work, and equally contributing to ideas. The culture tends to focus on equal distribution of workload and people who desire to improve the success of the overall group. They generally communicate in a nonassertive manner. Blake has been working in the organization for 30 years. Talia: At Talia’s branch in the Midwest, the culture is friendly and warm. People are very supportive of each other and value kindness and expressions of appreciation. They, at times, have difficulty communicating criticism. They are largely assertive and uncomfortable with silence. Talia was recently promoted, and she has worked for the organization for 5 years. Mei: At Mei’s West Coast branch, employees can work in the office building, outside on patios, or on lawn spaces. Their workplace culture is individualistic, and people focus on direct communication. In Mei’s office, workers appreciate diverse and novel ideas. They value discussion and are comfortable with ambiguity. Mei is a recent graduate, and this is their first year at the organization.
