Provide a reflection of at least 500 words of how the knowledge, skills, or theories of this course have been applied or could be applied, in a practical manner to your current work environment. If you are not currently working, share times when you have or could observe these theories and knowledge could be applied to an employment opportunity in your field of study.

Assessment 1: Intro to the Plan

Complete the introduction of the risk management plan by analyzing and defining the plan’s goals and objectives as they relate to the evaluation of risks for your chosen case study. Include the company background information as well.

How does a project manager recognize risks to a project and apply risk management techniques to help minimize them? It is important to be able to first identify the risks and then understand their impact on an organization.

As a project manager, you will want to select the techniques that work the best for the project and the project team, such as brainstorming or a cause-and-effect diagram. Risk management techniques help provide the project manager with an idea of possible areas of the project that could be affected, and which ones may need a risk evaluation.

Research risk management planning and the effect of the choice of methods on the overall predictability and assessment of risk. There are necessary steps when preparing an organization to assess risk. These include accepting a new cultural approach to incorporating risk management into all aspects of the company. A new cultural approach may involve meeting with stakeholders and discussing the need to change and modify existing culture to mitigate and eliminate risks. As a project manager, you must be able to lead the risk management process. You must analyze the organization’s current position, including its objectives and goals, and determine the direction required for prioritizing the risks for an organization. Typically, you would include key stakeholders, because they will impact the business decisions and assist in the evaluation of key areas in the management of risk for the company,

Introduction

Project risks arise anytime there is a project to manage. It is important for project managers to be able to determine project risks for all types of projects. This includes projects large and small. Project risks can be mitigated by thorough planning and adapting risk analysis techniques. The assessments in this course provide you with hands-on experience in the analysis and evaluation of project risks. You will integrate various aspects of project risk planning, analysis, and evaluation. Note: Developing a risk management plan for a project requires specific steps in sequence. Complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

You will be using the  to develop a risk management plan. Note: Submit the updated template for each assessment; as indicated in the instructions for each assessment.

The nal product for this course will be the complete Risk Management Plan. Your completed plan could be used as evidence of your learning for a job interview or an annual employment review. Read the template before beginning this assessment.

It is critical to identify risks and evaluate both their qualitative and quantitative aspects in the risk management evaluation process.

Section 1 Introduction to the Plan

You will fill out different sections of the Risk Management Plan Template for each assessment.

Use the Risk Management Plan Template to record your analysis for Section 1 Introduction to the Plan. Your analysis of the project objectives, in relation to the evaluation of risks, must include the following sections. Refer to the template for directions on what to put in each.

  • 1.1 Benets of Risk Management.
  • 1.2 Project Goals and Objectives.

 Given that the U.S. Census Bureau uses sampling to check the accuracy of  various census data, as a marketing researcher, discuss whether you  believe a constitutional amendment should be passed to allow sampling in  the decennial population count in the United States rather than the  traditional head count. What are the advantages and disadvantages of  sampling as it applies to the census? 

Scholarly Activity: Sales Management

You are a sales manager for a corporation that sells software to local businesses. You have been asked to create a new training process for a new group of salespeople who have been recently hired. Describe your sales training process using the six interrelated steps discussed in your textbook. Be sure to identify specific, measurable, and obtainable sales training objectives.

Your process should consist of at least three pages, not counting the title page or reference page. Outside sources other than your eTextbook (which must be cited and referenced) are not required but can add depth to your response. If outside sources are used, please adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references.

Six Steps:

Assess Sales Training Needs, Set training objectives, Evaluate Training alternatives, Design Sales Training Program, Perform Sales training, and Conduct follow-up and evaluation.

What is the development methodologies of social media websites?

Write and 8 to 10 page paper on the development methodology of social media websites. The use of outside references (books, peer-reviewed journal articles, professional publications, media) is encouraged. Be sure to tie your paper to the concepts and readings covered in the course. Please address all of the questions at the end of the case in your paper. Please format your paper in APA 6th edition style and use at least 6 8 references.

Tieout and Source

  

Below is my assignment to show the tieout and sources for each transaction. There are a total of 27 questions. The questions start from PG 44 of the 10-K report which is in the highlighted box. If you hover your cursor over the Yellow text box the question should appear. I have attached the screenshot example of the question and screenshot of answer on how it should look in the final. 

Please read carefully and let me know.

Below is the Question

 Summary:

You will submit an Excel file that provides the tieout and sources for the selected/marked items in the attached file, which includes financial statements and MD&A.

Details:

(1) Create a column with the marked item within your Excel. There are 27 total questions (one post-it has 2 questions within so there is 1 less post it than total questions).

(2) Create a column (or two/more if needed) to provide the source of the disclosure. This could be, for a few examples: (A) directly from the income statement, balance sheet, or statement of cash flow (B) a calculation year over year to show an increase or decrease (C) an amount derived from using two financial statement amounts, such as cash flows less capital expenditures.

(3) You can use review notes or an additional column for text explanation. Review notes are handy and useful for highlighting an item. However to format the text, copy it and reuse it, or see it while using the spreadsheet, a separate column is likely more effective when explanatory comments are warranted

(4) If you desire, downloading the financials from Mergent into Excel on a separate tab may make the process much more efficient as you can then simply calculate within the spreadsheet. I must be able to review the formulas for grading, so if this is not utilized explanatory comments should be given for your calculations. Use tools such as trace dependents and precedents, absolute referencing, and others to make the tieout easier for you. These financials were obtained from Mergent. If you prefer better formatted financials to read than Mergent, you can find the 10K publicly available online.

Compensation and Benefits

 

Job Description and Job Evaluation

 Create a job description and a performance evaluation document that can be used in identifying a position within an organization and assessing the performance of an employee. The two items should be based on research for a specific job position in a career field you choose. Be sure to identify the compensation (direct and indirect) factors, the pay plan, and the performance appraisal as they apply.

The template contains pertinent instructions. minimum of three pages in length.

Religion has had its ups and downs. Now that social media outlets have become more popular, people have more to say. Things like stereotyping, bias, racial profiling, are talked about in social media outlets for reasons like spreading awareness, support, or even bullying and racism. Media in general, have always used their platform to spread news whether their good or bad, to create stereotypes, whether their true or not. Personal opinions are most definitely fueled by social media outlets, regardless of their intentions. It most definitely affects how we view and understand religious beliefs because we are listening to someone talking about it. People join a religion for many reasons like family culture, support, help, etc. For many, religion brings cultural values, beliefs, ritual practices, meaning, and much more (Religion in Contemporary Society, 2017). 

2. Religious profiling, like racial profiling, perpetuates negative stereotypes held by the public. In a recent Gallup poll, most Americans held an unfavorable view of Islam. Many state legislatures are considering anti-Sharia legislation that would come close to criminalizing the practice of Islam. American Muslims efforts to build mosques where their families and communities can gather have encountered protests, lawsuits, and even zoning law changes. Most disturbing, the FBI reports that there were over 1,500 hate crimes against Muslims between 2001 and 2009. The brutal murder of Shaima Alawadi, a mother of five, is only the most recent example.     Our law enforcement agencies have a solemn responsibility to keep us safe. Nevertheless, religious profiling, like racial profiling, betrays our values without any benefit to our security. Instead of relying on stereotypes, law enforcement officials should focus on signs of actual criminal conduct. Furthermore, they should build solid and trusting relationships with American Muslims communitiesrelationships that will enable us to fight our common enemy. In todays society, stereotyping, bias, and racial profiling intersect with religion in that religion is often the cause of discriminatory stereotypes. For example, people who practice Islam often face discrimination because of false stereotypes about the religions connection to terrorism. Religion is also used to justify discriminatory behavior, such as how some Christians cite the Bible to discriminate against same-sex couples Religious profiling is also ineffective. Terrorists come from diverse backgrounds and, as law enforcement officials acknowledge, are aware of profiles and how to avoid them. As they comprise a miniscule fraction of any given religion or ethnicity, it is unlikely that programs focusing on entire communities will be successful in identifying terrorists. For example, there is no evidence that the NYPDs infiltration of mosques uncovered any terrorist plots that did not originate with the police themselves. Moreover, as with racial profiling, religious profiling alienates those profiled, in this case, American Muslims. This is a step backward for counterterrorism efforts, as the cooperation of Muslim communities has been crucial to foiling some 35 percent of recent terrorist plots.

  Currently, there are multiple ways in which religion intersects with stereotyping and bias. For the most part, these obstacles arise at times when the differences between community members are too challenging and require additional effort to overcome the problem. According to Maydell (2018), mass media is one of the key generators of stereotypical thinking and biased worldviews due to the magnitude of its force. Even a persons religious beliefs could be altered by the media if the required ideas are conveyed compellingly and in a rather persuasive manner. This intangible agenda helps the media control how certain societal cohorts are portrayed and perceived. Irrespective of a persons outlook on certain sensitive topics, they could become a victim of prejudice and firmly delivered lies or misconceptions.

            The first example of how mass media operates bias and dishonesties to address religion is the level of treatment received by minorities. According to Shamilishvili (2019), religious minorities are practically enslaved by stereotypes because different roles in society are rather hard to break or amend when they intertwine with religious convictions. This is a significant problem for the contemporary community because it forces people to remain unaware and only pick one side when looking at ethical and socio-economic dilemmas. A similar idea is also covered in Luqiu and Yangs (2018) article, where the authors addressed the imminent power of mass media in terms of covering terrorism or association with a certain group. In China, for instance, Islam is often displayed as a threatening religion in order to maintain domestic social stability (Luqiu & Yang, 2018). Thus, mass media could be utilized to oppress followers of specific religions in order to give more power to the local government.
