Unit 2 Individual Project

You have just been asked to teach the concept of adaptation to a psychology class. You decide to conduct the following experiments to teach the concept of adaptation.

Task 1: Conduct three of the following experiments. Record your reactions, and be specific for each experiment.

Experiment 1:

• Rub your index fingers gently over a piece of very coarse sandpaper a few times and rate its coarseness on a scale from 1 (very soft) to 7 (very coarse).
• After a minute or two, rub the same finger over the paper and again rate its coarseness. Did your perception of the coarseness change? How? Record your reaction. 

Experiment 2:

• Prepare one cup with sugar water and one with fresh water.
• Take a sip of the sugar water and swish it around in your mouth for several seconds without swallowing it. Gradually, it should taste less sweet. (Dispose of the sugar water)
• Taste from the cup containing fresh water. Did the taste of the fresh water surprise you? How? Record your reaction.

Experiment 3:

• Take about 15 index cards and a flashlight that is opaque on all sides (so that light shines only through the front) into a very dark room.
• Place all 15 cards over the beam of light.
• Slowly remove the cards one at a time until you can barely detect the light, and then count the number of cards that remain over the light.
• After a few minutes, the light should begin to look brighter. When this is the case, add cards and see if you can still see the light.
• Repeat this process of gradually adding cards over a 15-minute period. Were you able to detect an increasingly dim light the longer you spent in the dark? Record your reaction.
• How many cards did it take to not see the light after time?

Experiment 4:

• Fill 3 medium-sized bowls as follows:
  • Bowl 1 – with very hot (but not painfully hot) tap water
  • Bowl 2 – with very cold tap water
  • Bowl 3 – with a mixture of the very hot and very cold water
• Arrange them, so your right hand is in front of the cold water, your left hand is in front of the hot water, and the lukewarm water is in the middle.
• Submerse your hands into the water (right into cold, left into hot) for about 3 minutes
• After 3 minutes, quickly transfer both hands to the lukewarm (middle) bowl. What did you sense? Record your reaction.

In all four experiments, you will experience adaption.

Task 2: Write a paper that describes adaption and how you experienced it in your experiments. The paper should cover the following.

• Fully describe the process and results of the experiments that you chose.
• What is sensoryadaptation? Explain the concept of sensory adaptation. Refer to your text for the definition of sensory adaptation (this is not the general dictionary definition)
• Explain how adaptation is evident in each of your experimental results. 
• Provide a comprehensive description of the sensory systems that are involved in the experiments that you performed. This description should include what happens from the receptors to the brain. Your discussion should illustrate what was experienced in each experiment.
• Discuss how adaptation is important from an evolutionary perspective.

Be sure to document your references using APA format.. Thank you.

Module 5 – M5 Assignment 2 Internal Environmental Scan/Organizational Assessment

 

 
 
Internal Environmental Scan/Organizational Assessment

This section provides the opportunity to develop your course project. Conducting an internal environmental scan or organizational assessment, provides the ability to put the strategic audit together.

In this course so far you have conducted the following steps toward completing the capstone strategic audit:

·    Identified the organization for your report

·    Interviewed key mid-level and senior level managers

·    Created a market position analysis

·    Conducted an external environmental scan in preparation of your final report and presentation

·    Prepared a preliminary strategic audit

In this module you will conduct a comprehensive assessment of the internal environment at your business unit or organization you are working with for this project, also known as an organizational assessment, and present your findings in a report. Your report should analyze the operating characteristics and assets of your business unit and categorize them as strengths or weaknesses in terms of enabling the business strategy (these will be inputs into a final SWOT analysis).

The internal environmental scan or organizational assessment should include the following:

·    Mission, Vision, and Values: Assess the Starbucks’ understanding of the mission, vision, and values, and how they relate the business strategy. Is there consensus on the mission and vision of the organization? What are the shared values of the organization? What are the behaviors espoused by these values?

·    Strategy Clarification: Assess the organization’s understanding of the business strategy through interviews with mid-level and senior managers. Assess their understanding and agreement of the business unit’s value proposition, market position, and competitive advantage (these are inputs from M5: Assignment 1).

·    Cultural Assessment: Explain the unwritten rules and shared values that govern behaviors in the organization. Do they act as enablers or blockers to the strategy? For example, is there a culture of information sharing and collaboration that enables the organization to respond quickly across structural boundaries to solve problems for customers? On the other hand, do groups not share important information through informal mechanisms, thus slowing response times?

·    Value Chain Analysis: Identify the primary (direct) and support (indirect) activities that create and deliver your product or service to your customers. Assess each activity’s contribution to competitive advantage through cost or differentiation. Identify any areas where the business may be at a competitive disadvantage.

·    Summary of Findings: Using these different analyses, identify the organizational strengths and weaknesses as they relate to the business strategy. Organizational strengths are assets, capabilities, and resources that contribute directly to the organization’s strategic fit, differentiation, and competitive advantage relative to competing organizations. Organizational weaknesses are characteristics and capabilities (often lacking) that place the organization at a disadvantage relative to competitors.

Write a 3–4 page report in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M5_A2.doc. 
The paper should include a (in addition to the 3 to 4 page body of the report) a cover page, plus executive summary/abstract, table of contents, body of paper—proper headers (Mission, Vision, and Values assessment; Strategy Clarification; Cultural Assessment; Value Chain Analysis; Summary of Key Findings; and References).
