Part One: Understanding Your Brand

Your professional brand should clearly communicate who you are, what you do, why you do it, and what makes you unique. In order to prepare a presentation that effectively communicates those key elements in an engaging way, address all of the prompts and questions below. Providing as much detail in the form of examples, facts, stories, and experiences from your professional career and your personal life can help you best understand and articulate your brand.

Start with why. Why do you do what you do? What motivates you? Why do you want to wake up and go to work at a particular job? For example, do you want to help others? Are you motivated by creativity? Do you want to earn respect and prestige? What problems do you want to solve? Use your Module 4 – Discussion: Communicating Your Body of Work. You shared three major accomplishments and what you felt those experiences had in common. Does this communicate why you do what you do?

Summarize your core “why” in a few sentences. This is your professional brand statement.

Support and evidence. Now that you’ve figured out your core “why,” you must provide support and evidence for your professional brand statement. You must also figure out how to differentiate yourself from your competition.

Answer the following questions:

Define your professional goals. Where do you see yourself professionally in the long-term (10 years from now)? Where do you see yourself in the short-term (next year)? Be sure to include not just the career you want to hold but also detailed information about that career. What is the company like? What is your position like? What are your co-workers or clients like? What is your life like as you work to accomplish your professional goals?
Define your strengths and skills. To achieve your professional goals, you must identify the strengths you possess and the skills you need to continue to build. List your strengths, the skills you’ve developed, and the important adjectives that describe you and your work ethic. Next, define some skills you need to continue to work on in order to achieve career success.
Analyze your target audience. Who do you need to share your professional brand with in order to achieve your professional goals? Is it a specific company? If you want to be your own boss, do you need to share your brand with prospective clients and customers? Conduct a bit of research on what your target audience looks like. What does your target audience need from you?
Analyze your competition. With over 7 billion people in the world, you’re bound to face competition as you work to accomplish your professional goals. What is it that you offer that other people cannot? Conduct a bit of research on your competition. What unique blend of character traits, goals, strengths, skills, and experiences do you possess? How do you stand out from the competition?
You will use the answers to all of these questions to build your Professional Brand Presentation Outline.

Part Two: Communicating Your Brand

Once you’ve developed a clear understanding of your professional brand, it’s time to create a plan to share that brand with a target audience.

Your Professional Brand Presentation outline should include the following key components:

Introduction
Attention-getter or hook
Professional Brand Statement
Body
How you stand out from the competition
Professional goals
Strengths and skills
Examples, stories, and support for your brand
Conclusion
Short summary
Clincher or final thought
Be sure to clearly label all of the pieces of your outline.

Identify three organizations from the past five years that have had fraud related problems (e.g., fraudulent financial statements, violation of laws, indictment or conviction of employees committing fraudulent acts, etc.). Be sure to select three organizations that have enough information available to complete an effective research analysis.
E-mail your professor your selections by the end of Week 4. Be sure to include a one paragraph description of the fraud related problem(s) associated with each organization. Your professor will then notify you which of the three organizations to use in completing your research paper.
Research your organization with the goal of addressing all of the following:
Identify and explain the fraud issue. (10 points)
Identify the individuals involved in the fraudulent act(s), explain their role, and explain how they were able to commit the fraud (i.e., what factors were not present in the organization that allowed them to commit the fraud). (20 points)
Identify and explain the laws, rules, ethics that were violated by the fraudster(s) (e.g., Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Financial Accounting Standards Board pronouncements, Public Company Accounting Oversight Board pronouncements, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants pronouncements, Securities and Exchange Commission pronouncements, etc.). (20 points)
Explain the impact on affected stakeholders (e.g., stockholders, employees, creditors, suppliers, customers, etc.). (20 points)
Identify what measures could have been taken to prevent the fraud committed or detect it earlier. (30 points)
Write an 8-10 page, double-spaced paper addressing the items in Action Item 3. above. Be sure to follow proper APA formatting in all your citations.
Attach a cover page to your paper containing (at a minimum) your name and the name of the organization you researched.
Attach a reference page to your paper using proper APA format listing the authoritative resources you utilized.
Submit your paper to Turnitin, view the feedback report, and make any necessary changes to your paper (e.g., add quotation marks around quoted phrases, add citations to content not cited).

Write a report (clearly typed in a MS-Word file using MS-Word). Your report should be broken into two sections:

Section 1: Summary of the article (first paragraph): Tell me what the article is about and what major points the author is making, and his/her conclusions in a paragraph (5-10 sentences long at the most). Do not copy/paste excerpts from the article. Summary should be in your own words and should be based on your understanding of the issue covered in the article. No copying/pasting from various sources (just in your own words).

Section 2: Your thoughts on the article (at the most two paragraphs long): Critically evaluate author’s findings. For example, tell me why you agree or disagree with the author or his/her points, by supporting your own points by giving examples, or by providing convincing evidence for your points. You could also highlight the shortcomings of the article. (e.g., Do you share or do not share any of the points outlined in the article? Why? Why not?). Again no copying/pasting from various sources (just in your own words).

In the study of human behaviors, organizational leaders must understand concepts such as values, attitudes, perceptions, and behaviors of people. The objective is to align their thoughts, emotions, and competencies with organizational success. We often ask why people do things the way they do or behave in a certain way. Research these attributes and provide references.

Address the following questions:

How are values formed? How do they influence our attitudes toward work and others?

In the workers’ perspective, why are perceptions their reality?

Why do negative behaviors affect organizational success?

What can organizational leaders do to foster a positive work environment?
Your Discussion posts should be a minimum of 250 words in length and not more than 750 words. Use APA citations and references for the textbook and any other sources used.

Conservative Accounting in the General Products Division

This case was written to motivate an ethical discussion of earnings management activities. The example presented here is different from most of those discussed because the earnings management activities described in the case decrease income. That is, the accounting is conservative. Conservatism makes us conclude the actions are ethical. But aren’t managers ultraconservative merely because they want to “save” profits they can turn in a later accounting period if needed.

Questions

Do you approve of Robert’s actions? Are they smart or stupid from the perspective of the division? From the perspective of the corporation?
Are Robert’s actions ethical?
Should Joanne tell anyone of Robert’s request?

CASE
The year 2000 was a good one for the General Products Division (GPD) of Altman Industries, Inc., a large industrial products manufacturer. Sales and profits in the division were significantly above plan due largely to unexpectedly brisk sales of a new product introduced at the end of 1999. The good fortune induced Robert Standish, the GPD general manager, to think about how he could save some of the profits for periods in which he might need them more. He believed that GPD’s plan for 2001 would be tough to achieve because the corporation as a whole was not doing well, and corporate managers would expect GPD to show growth even above this year’s abnormally high sales and profit levels. And already in September, he was sure that his division’s profit would exceed the level above which no additional bonuses were awarded for higher performance-120% of plan-and he wanted to save some of this year’s profits so that he could report them in a year in which they would augment his bonus and those of his direct reports.

Robert asked his staff to do what they could before the end of the year to “stash some acorns” that he could use in future years. He suggested to Joanne, his controller, that she start preparing the pessimistic scenarios that could be used to justify the creation of additional reserves and start thinking about how expenses could be accelerated and revenues deferred at year-end.

Joanne was uncomfortable. She reminded Robert that among the company accounting policies was a statement that assets and reserves should be fairly reported based on the existing facts and circumstances and not be used to manage income. Furthermore, because of continuing order declines, the company was looking for ways to report higher, not lower, profits in the current year and that if the situation did not turn around quickly, layoffs were threatened.

But Robert explained that GPD would still be reporting very high profits; he just wanted to save a portion of the excess above plan. And in any case, GPD couldn’t help the corporation much because it was so small in comparison with the entire corporation.

Decision-making helps managers reach organizational goals. In recent years, the trend has been to help managers make decisions by providing large amounts of data and by including others in the decision-making process.

Discuss how technology has helped/hurt the decision-making process and how to determine which stakeholders should be involved in managerial decision-making. No Plagiarism pree review references
