Please see attachment for case 5.2

I also added chapter 4 to review. It’s about decision making skills. 

After reading chapter 4, read Case 5.2 on pages 123-125. For your initial posting, answer the two questions. 

1. Provide an initial response of 200 words.

2. Use formal writing. Errors will reduce your grade.

3. Grading will only consider content relating to management concepts.

4. Respond by extending the discussion by adding new insights, different examples from your experience, or from other sources.

5. Apply critical thinking. Agreement, quoting other learners, or repeating the case content will count as zero words and zero points.

Thank You!

All literature involves some kind of performance which is intended for an audience. Sometimes, however, the performative quality of a work (i.e., the fact that it is being presented to an audience) is more obvious than at others. Drama and poetry, for example, tend to emphasize overt performance more than do short stories, which more often are read silently and in solitude. 

How is the more direct performative aspect of drama and/or poetry reflected in these forms? (Consider for example, each genre’s uses of literary structure, language, technique, and style.) How do these literary elements affect your reading experience? 

In your post, identify key qualities of drama and poetry which emphasize their performative qualities. Discuss how these characteristics shape your reading response. Support your views with at least one example of a dramatic text and one example of a poem.

Situational (Hersey & Blanchard)

In this assignment, you should choose a multinational firm of non-U.S. origin. (e.g. Royal Dutch Shell, Hyundai automobiles, Haier appliances) Make sure that you choose a company about which sufficient information is readily available to use for your analysis.

Imagine that you have been appointed CEO of the company you have chosen, and you want to use one of theories/model of leadership listed in Module 2, Assignment 1 as a guide to lead the organization. This could be the same theory/model you selected and analyzed in that assignment or you can choose one of the others.                                                                                                                                                                                             

You should create a PowerPoint presentation consisting of approximately 10–12 slides (not including the title slide and the References listing).  Apply the current APA standards for writing style. All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.

In your presentation, you should include:

• An explanation of the leadership style, such as task-oriented, relationship-oriented, charismatic, transformational, situational, and so on, that you find most effective.
• A discussion of the appropriateness and applicability of your leadership model in the cultural environment of your chosen company.  Make sure that you provide a rationale for your opinion.
• An explanation of the leadership approach that is most likely favored in the company you selected.  Make sure you discuss why this might be the case.

In each instance, use Hofstede’s criteria and your research from books and articles to support your opinion

Complete your presentation with speaker notes, citations, and visual aids such as tables, charts, data, links, and images. Remember, this is a PowerPoint presentation, not a paper simply pasted into the PowerPoint format.  It is particularly important that you use the Speaker’s Notes to include a lot of the information that you cannot use on the individual slides. 

   In this paper, students write about the key concepts you have learned in the areas listed below. This final project is designed to see if you understand the overall business concept and the integration of the many disciplines and functions that businesses require. I am particularly interested in seeing if the student understands the organization as a system and how that is integrated with the human side of management, That topic can best be answered by researching W. Edwards Deming’s System of Profound Knowledge. 

• ·         The dynamic business environment

• ·         Critical business functions

• ·         The integration of individuals and systems

• ·         The ethical and social responsibilities that confront a business

Required Elements to include in the Final Project:

·                  Identify the key concepts associated with the areas listed above

·                  Explain why you believe these are the key concepts in each of the areas listed above

·                  Integrate theories, models and concepts learned from the textbook and course materials in making your arguments.

·                  It is a plus if you also use our library journals to explain or support the points you make.

Required Formatting of Paper:

·         This report should be double spaced, 12-point font, and four to five pages in length excluding the title page and reference page.

·         Use APA formatting for in-text citations and reference page.  You are expected to paraphrase and not use quotes. Deductions will be taken when quotes are used and found to be unnecessary.
