Pay careful attention to when deliverables are due; the course calendar provides a good summary of due dates for the week

Case Study

For this assignment, you will write a case study analysis that focuses on the communication strategy of an organization of your choice. 

 

In this assignment, you will need to a) summarize the communication strategy of your chosen organization, b) analyze the communication strategy of your chosen organization, and c) explain how you would integrate the communication strategy into the current organization where you work or into a former organization where you have worked. 

 

A. Summarize the Communication Strategy

 

Locate an article that discusses the communication strategies used by your chosen organization. After reading your chosen article, you may find the exercise below to be helpful in developing a summary paragraph. Identify the author(s) of your chosen article, and complete the following exercise: 

 

[Insert author’s name here] discusses how innovative communication processes have helped [insert name of the organization here] resolve [insert issue here]. 

 

The top reason [insert author’s name here] holds that position is __________. 

 

A second reason [insert author’s name here] holds that position is __________. 

 

A third reason [insert author’s name here] holds that position is __________. 

 

After filling in the blanks, you should have a list of the positions and claims made by the authors about your chosen organization. Shape your notes into a summary paragraph. (Do not simply include the list that you completed in the exercise above.) 

 

Remember that the summary paragraph is where you will present information from the source. You will provide your analysis and interpretation in the following section of the paper. 

 

B. Analyze the Communication Strategy

 

Be sure to include how the communication strategy impacts the organization on multiple levels. Feel free to use the four levels of sales, services, value chain, and continuous improvement as a model, which was discussed in the case study on the Dell Computer Corporation in the Unit VI Lesson. (Note: Your categories may be different.) 

 

In the analysis portion of the assignment, discuss any problems (or potential problems) with the communications in your chosen organization, and provide potential solutions based on your research. Include ways that effective management could help to provide a solution. 

 

C. Explain Integration Techniques

 

Finally, explain how this communication strategy could be integrated into your current or former workplace. 

 

You will need to reference at least two academic sources. 

 

Use the standard five-paragraph format (introduction/body/conclusion). APA format should be used. The assignment should be a minimum of three pages in length. Content, organization, and grammar/mechanics will be evaluated.

Essay

Instructions

For this assignment, you will research the different ways that managers and leaders use communication to guide their organizations. 

Feel free to use the same organization you researched for the Unit VI Case Study. You are not limited to this organization, but it may be easier to complete the assignment since you have already researched the organization in Unit VI. You can use the same sources for both assignments, if applicable. 

Find an instance where the organizational leader communicates directly with his or her employees, investors, or customers. Analyze the message, the channel, and the potential for feedback. Do you believe that it is effective? Do you believe that it is the same type of message that a manager would send? Why, or why not? 

Remember to focus on the communication styles of both leaders and managers. Strive for an equal balance between the two types of communication styles in your assignment. 

Example: The Apple events that occur in Cupertino whenever Apple unveils a new product or service are examples of the type of communication you should be analyzing in this assignment. During the events, CEO Tim Cook addresses an audience of employees, investors, and the general public. Cook uses multiple channels to communicate with the audience, including a live face-to-face discussion, live streaming of the discussion, and a recorded video. For the assignment, you would view one of the events, analyze Cook’s message and the effectiveness of the channels, and discuss the potential for feedback. Analyze whether or not the message is an effective example of leadership. Explain whether or not you believe a manager could, or should, use the same types of channels to relay a message. Would it be effective? 

Note: You do not need to use Apple for this assignment. It is provided as an example only. 

Use the standard five-paragraph format (introduction/body/conclusion). Include at least two academic sources. APA format should be used. The assignment should be a minimum of two pages in length, not including the title and reference pages. Content, organization, and grammar/mechanics will be evaluated.

 
 
 

Critical Analysis I

briefly describe, in 2-3 pages, the problem/issue and the problem statement you developed.

Law Of Business Organisation

Question:

 

“In 2019, the Final Report of the Banking Royal Commission was released. Critically analyse the main findings of that report as relevant to corporations law. Has the Australian Government accepted those recommendations? If so which ones? What is the timeline for implementation?

 

Considering the position in Singapore and the UK, have these jurisdictions had similar Enquiries? If so, have there been recommendations and law reforms flowing from those Enquiries relevant to the corporate law of those countries? If so, how do they compare to the developments in Australia? If there has not been an Enquiry in the UK or Singapore, why not? 

Describe the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. Be sure to explain the changes in the arterial blood gas patterns during an exacerbation.

  • Review “Asthma” in Chapter 27 of the Huether and McCance text. Identify the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. Consider how these disorders are similar and different.
  • Select a patient factor different from the one you selected in this week’s Discussion: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Think about how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of both disorders. Reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.
  • Review the “Mind maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)” media in the Week 2 Learning Resources. Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct two mind maps—one for chronic asthma and one for acute asthma exacerbation. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of both chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation.

To Complete

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

  • Describe the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. Be sure to explain the changes in the arterial blood gas patterns during an exacerbation.
  • Explain how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of both disorders. Describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment for a patient based on the factor you selected.
  • Construct two mind maps—one for chronic asthma and one for acute asthma exacerbation. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment you explained in your paper.

Analyze the impact of community input on the planning process. In your assessment, include the following:

This week, you will analyze political and legal issues of planning at the local and regional levels. These issues are at the heart of most planning processes. There are many actors, including citizens, lobbyists, consultants, developers, citizen interest groups, and planners, influencing the decision-making process. This process requires extensive administrative rules and statutes, assuring transparency and the due process available to residents of the local municipality. 

Once again, you return to the long-term, strategic plan you identified and used in the Weeks 5 and 6 assignments. Political leaders received negative feedback from the community, and they, in turn, contacted your office. Those leaders want to appease their constituents, so they would like to have a firm understanding regarding the extent to which any community input was sought in forming the original plan.

  • Analyze the impact of community input on the planning process. In your assessment, include the following:
  • Analyze the planning process at a regional level, including the extent of citizen participation, the role of advisory groups, and the role and responsibilities of elected officials.
  • Most federal grants include a requirement of public participation in both the design and execution of the strategic plan. Analyze the effects of such requirements on the development of a plan, which must pass public, legislative, and executive review.
  • Articulate whether your opinion the plan adequately sought and utilized citizen input as required by law in its formation. Provide recommendations based upon your review.

Support your paper with a minimum of five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.

Length: 5 pages, not including title and reference pages

Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards.

540 Case 2

 DATABASE MANAGEMENT

Assignment Overview

The case for this module revolves around the question of large-scale data and the implications of database capabilities for organizational data management. As we’ve said, the change from data as a scarce resource to data as overabundance is still a major concern for organizations. Here, you’ll have a chance to consider the value of data and information. Data storage and management was seldom considered a particularly exciting topic; however, when data is used for making better decisions and/or enhancing organizational performance, it is amazing how quickly organizational (and personal) interest can be created.

The new state of having rather too much data to fit into the established databases is increasingly called “big data.” Big data arises from a combination of cheap storage, multiple data input streams, and a general sense that with all of this, there ought to be valuable data in there somewhere. Here are a couple of sources that begin to discuss these issues; you can undoubtedly find more:

Challenges and Opportunities with Big Data (2013).

Mehrotra, P., Pryor, L., Bailey, F. and Cotnoir, M. (2014). Supporting “Big Data” Analysis and Analytiics at the NSAS Supercomputing Facility. NAS Technical Report: NAS-2014-02.

Kaisler, S., Armour, F., Espinosa, J.A., and Money, W. (2013). Big data: Issues and challenge moving forward. 46th Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences, 1-10.

The trick to coping with “big data” is, of course, better data analytics — that is, that set of statistical mining, and related analytical tools that can be used to identify patterns in the data, assess a variety of associations, and generally illuminate the knowledge that might otherwise be buried in the mounds of numbers. Today, analytics is a rapidly expanding field.

Raghupathi, W. and Raghupathi, V. (2014). Big data analytics in healthcare: Promise and potential. Health and Information Science and Systems, 2(3), 1-10.

ISO/IEC JTC 1 Information Technology Big Data, Preliminary Report, 1-36.

Fujitsu (2015). The White Book of Big Data: The definitive guide to the revolution in business analytics.

So the case for this module revolves around the challenges of “big data” — that is, how to manage it, create reasonable analysis strategies, and at the same time avoid becoming totally dependent on it. Data makes a very good servant, but not a very attractive master.

Case Assignment

When you’ve had a chance to read these articles, anything from the Background that is helpful to you, or anything else you may have come across, please write a 3- to 5-page paper discussing the question:

Problems and Opportunities created by having too much data, and what to do about them

Your paper should be between three and five pages. Take a definite stand on the issues, and develop your supporting argument carefully. Using material from the background information and any other sources you can find to support specific points in your argument is highly recommended; avoid making assertions for which you can find no support other than your own opinion.

Your paper is to be structured as a point/counterpoint argument, in the following manner.

  • Begin this paper by stating your position on this question clearly and concisely
  • Citing appropriate sources, present the reasons why you take this position. Be sure to make the most effective case you can.
  • Then present the best evidence you can, again cite appropriate sources, against your position — that is, establish what counterarguments can be made to your original position.
  • Finally, review your original position in light of the counterarguments, showing how they are inadequate to rebut your original statement.

By the end of your paper, you should be able to unequivocally re-affirm your original position.
