This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment. The major responsibilities of human resources management (HRM) are attracting, developing, and maintaining a quality workforce. Research an organization, with which you are familiar, that is in need of a change and present how you will manage the change process by incorporating the three essential duties of HRM. Throughout this assignment, teammates will need to demonstrate skills for effective collaboration, negotiation, and teamwork. Each CLC group will choose one subsystem to change and addressing the following questions that pertain to the major human resource management responsibilities and to change management. Strengthen your recommendations by showing how your proposed changes are working in another similar organization that is successful. Address following in your presentation: Provide an overview of the organization you have chosen including three subsystems of the organization, three stakeholders of the organization, and the reason for selecting this organization. What one major organizational subsystem needs to be changed in the organization? Justify your choice. How does it compare to a similar successful organization? How will the subsystem change affect the two other subsystems within the organization that you have identified and how will you realign the total system? Identify and explain how you would ensure that the proposed change will satisfy any three stakeholders of the organization? How should the organization attract, develop, and maintain the workforce required to bring about your proposed change? Choose at least one of the following in your discussion about attracting a quality workforce to support the change in Questions 2 and 3 above: human resource planning, recruitment, or selection. Choose at least one of the following in your discussion about developing a quality workforce to support the change in Questions 2 and 3 above: (and this must tie in to 5a too): employee orientation, training and development, or performance appraisal. Choose at least one of the following in your discussion about maintaining a quality workforce to support the change in Questions 2 and 3 above (and must relate to 5a and 5b): career development, work-life balance, compensation and benefits, employee retention and turnover, or labor-management relations. Integrate a faith-based or worldview-based component in the presentation and make a clear connection on how it informs the groups’ management practices. (NOTE: Individuals all have a worldview, and that worldview influences their decisions, values, and perceptions. It also affects how they manage people, or think they should be managed. For this assignment, this requirement relates to the worldview of the presenters.) Students must submit their Peer Evaluations before midnight on the due date of this assignment. Include at least four academic references to support your position. One of them should directly relate to the company discussed in your presentation and another to the organization to which you are comparing it. These needed to be cited within your presentation not just as references at the end of the presentation. Include slide notes with your presentation. Refer to the resource, “Creating Effective PowerPoint Presentations,” located in the Student Success Center, for additional guidance on completing this assignment in the appropriate style. While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Identify and analyze your debts. What assets secure your debts? What assets do your debts finance? What is the cost of your debts? What determined those costs? What risks do you undertake by being in debt? How can being in debt help you build wealth? Are you considered a default risk? How would a lender evaluate you based on “the five C’s” of character, capacity, capital, collateral, and conditions? How could you plan to make yourself more attractive to a lender in the future? Discuss the Tim Clue video on debt. What makes this comedy spot funny? What makes it not funny? What does it highlight about the appropriate uses of debt? Write a 2-4 page paper. Use the template provided. Follow APA format, including a title page, introduction, conclusion, citations, and a minimum of one scholarly reference (not Wikipedia or Investopedia). It’s a help to turn on the MS Word grammar and spell checker, they will find “stuff” before I do, that’s a good thing.  Also, always read over your work and listen for incomplete, confusing, or problem sentences. See the attached APA7 PPT presentation, it can help you with citing and referencing in APA style. A Turnitin report of no more than 20% similarity index is a good target to shoot for.

MT140M2-2: Explain the four functions of management. GEL-1.02: Demonstrate college-level communication through the composition of original materials in Standard English. The Module 2 assessment tasks you with the synthesis of the four functions of management: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Read the scenario below, and, using material from the textbook as well as your own research, construct an essay that addresses the organizational connections between the four functions. Scenario: Well-known big-box discounter Target® Corporation has recently begun a campaign to shift away from its reputation as a discount chain and more to mid-range retailer offering affordable items in partnerships with luxury designers, expanded offerings for apparel and the home, and more organic and craft-oriented grocery offerings. This change in strategy has resulted in a new corporate direction for the organization, which is summarized in its mission statement: “To help all families discover the joy of everyday life. That’s our purpose. Our mission. The promise of surprises, fun, ease and inspiration at every turn, no matter when, where or how you shop.” Assessment Checklist: Describe how the four functions of management relate to each other. Introduce Target and its current corporate mission. Keeping in mind the organization’s mission, identify one strategic goal and trace that goal through the tactical and operational levels of planning with one specific example at each level. Specify the appropriate type of role in the organization responsible for managing the goals at each level (organizing function) as well as what forms of power would be most useful in each level (leading function). Describe at least one formal control that would aid in evaluating progress toward the operational goal you identified. Be sure to indicate how you would measure the control. Review the rubric before beginning this activity.

esearch and write a Five-page paper addressing Net Worth.  Since net worth is the total financial value of an individual, center your paper on the net worth of white households and contrast it with the net worth of African American households in the District of Columbia region.  Still further, contrast and compare why people, and people of color, in particular, have a tendency to place greater value on their net income versus their net worth. Include in your paper what types of organizations offer their employees 401ks, 403bs, TSP’s, and 457 Plans.  Finally, research and write what exactly is a tax-deferred account, and why it is beneficial OR detrimental to you.

Discuss the operating and cash cycles, and why they it is important for a financial manager to have a good understanding of how cash and operating cycles impact business operations.

Along with this email, I have attached my final motivation letter for Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship 2021/2022. I want a complete service, just like my previous email. Here’s some information I want to put along with this ML. The questions listed below are the guidelines they offer to every applicant. The maximum number of characters (including space) is 4000 words. My background which relates to the environment is when I joined archipelago devotion in Boa, East Nusa Tenggara in 2018. In that program, I acted as an Environmental Project Coordinator. The devotion lasted seven days and ended expectedly. My program with my team was to teach local people how to make organic fertilizer for their farm. We used cattle dung and any kind of food waste. I considered the program successful because farmers who used the fertilizer testified that their harvestings were abundant and bigger. I wanted to put this short experience into my motivation letter, but I am confused about where it fits in. Besides, I already wrote nearly 4000 characters.Why have I chosen to apply to this programme?Why did you apply to study in Hungary?What do I expect to gain from my studies?Why does my background make me a suitable candidate?How will the programme help me to achieve my goals?How does your proposed study relate to a particular development challenge or need at the global, national, and/or local level?How will you apply your new skills and qualifications when you return home?What challenges would you expect to encounter while studying in a foreign country, and how could you prepare for these challenges?

Must use APA7 for references and intext citations.  Three references with 1 scholarly peer reviewed reference/  In text citations for ALL references. Just as the state of the healthcare industry and the concept of the patient have changed so have healthcare facilities. Physicians’ offices aren’t always offices anymore. Healthcare facilities can be mobile, virtual or traditional. This week we will look at how healthcare facilities have evolved. TASK: 1.    Besides concierge medicine and retail clinics, identify two other contemporary healthcare facilities identified in the literature. 2.    Discuss how marketers could advertise the new facilities and the impact you think the new facilities will have on healthcare consumers and currently existing facilities in the market. 3.    USE APA7 citations and references- at least 1 scholarly peer reviewed reference

The assignment should revolve around patent-related problematic. The specific problematic addressed (and problem-fit solution developed) will be up to the writer. Summary of Key points for this assignment  Purpose: There are many very difficult problems in the world. We sometimes call these wicked problems (eg climate change) where the solutions have many strands – such as the need for social, economic and regulatory change. There are also many problems that seem very simple but have complex solutions. For example if we take the problem of providing working toilets for the one billion people who don’t have access to toilets- there is apparently a simple solution: we know how to build toilets, we know how to provide clean water. The specific nature of the problem though is different in each setting – localised, messy, economic, behavioural. Entrepreneurs need to grapple with this complexity and adapt solutions. Problem-Solution fit is one way.  The entrepreneurial craft here is judging and interrogating whether a chosen solution “fits’ the specific stated problem, in a particular setting. The concept of “fit” is a social construction as much as an economic one. What seems logical often does not work in practice, in the environment where it is supposed to work. Your job is to explore, identify, evaluate…A useful question is “What is the nature of the addressable problem we are looking to solve”.  This assignment thrives on cognitive diversity. Listen to your group members’ perceptions – you may not agree, but their views may represent an important barrier to implementation of a solution.  The “problems” – Choose from one of these topics:  • Patents  Outline of the process towards excellent groupwork  1) Find a problem/issue/challenge within the chosen topic: You can work with either the whole problem, or a selected part. The issue can be a problem as experienced by society, by a company, by a national government, by a regulator or a user.  2) Once you have an idea of the problem (nb RESEARCH the problem) work creatively as a group to examine dimensions of the solution. This may be more of a social problem with a behavioural solution or a technology issue where the solution is financial or organisational.  3) Source potential solution (s) (nb RESEARCH the solutions). It is easier to find existing solutions, or use existing solutions creatively, but in some cases you could originate your own.  4) Evaluate challenges, constraints, opportunities, around the solution you have chosen, as far as is possible. You can conclude with a ‘best’ solution, or evaluate key issues to highlight, or bring together a set of solutions. Aim for a manageable area where you can show excellence.  5) This assignment is unlikely to lead to a conclusion, or a definite position. It is an exploration of problem-solution fit. More on these topic areas: This groupwork offers choice within these problem areas. You can take a well-known dimension of the problem, or a smaller addressable part of the problem. You can take the global perspective, or narrow down to one country to examine the specific context around problem-solution fit. For the companies Philips and Twitter, you are looking either at a problem experienced by Philips, or a problem that the company is seen to be causing.  Examples Here are a couple of worked example (not on one of the topics above). They are both in the healthcare sector as illustration. In healthcare, most problems and solutions have a global dimension, whether that is around the supply chain, access, politics or patents. Sample Topic 1: Wearables for health management. (An example of a wearable is a FitBit, or some of the health functionality on an Apple Watch)  Topic exploration: Wearables have the potential to improve self-management of health. Fitbits encourage physical activity, and satisfy an increasing need for monitoring performance. This is called by some the ‘quantified self’. Wearables exist that monitor blood pressure and other clinical markers. These allow patients to take control, and sometimes for clinicians to monitor remotely and more often than is currently economical.  Problems within this topic might include: Doctors can mistrust the sometimes-inaccurate monitoring; wearables lack clinical (medicallyaccepted) evidence of impact; patients can become anxious; trials in hospitals have difficulty in scaling; data protection; there are boundary issues between for example national healthcare systems like the NHS and for-profit start-ups sharing data and development. Clinicians feel threatened by consumer-led healthcare… etc etc  Solutions: might follow the model of a successful clinical wearable integration with current healthcare – where has this integration process worked well?; are there interesting global examples we can draw on to explore what success looks like? Trialling within eg a national healthcare’s innovation system – how does this work?; reputational leadership – is this important, how can medically-literate leaders be brought in to develop entrepreneurial solutions that ‘fit’ the structures of healthcare; can we solve problems of access, eg with older populations, using better user-interfaces? These are a few examples of how the topic breaks down. Sample Topic 2: Drug development in global pharmaceutical companies (‘big pharma’) Topic exploration: Big pharma’s pipeline of new drugs in development is in trouble. It is becoming increasingly expensive for them to develop new drugs, which is causing price spikes and for some disease areas to be neglected. Pharma companies are solving this by increasingly using publically-funded research, like sponsoring universities’ research efforts, to create value. Effectively this means outsourcing their R&D more to Universities. Problems within this topic: for example…. this value created ultimately is given primarily to shareholders rather than the research originators like Universities; only potential ‘blockbuster’ disease areas are researched; copycat drugs offer little additional benefit; breakthroughs such as Solvadi (Hepatitis C drug) are priced extremely high to re-coup the development costs and failure in other parts of the pipeline. Entrepreneurial solutions: might look at the University end to retain more value from pharma developments through contracts; funding for orphan drug developers; crowd-sourcing bioscience investment; profit-sharing models; regulation, patent behaviours, community or shareholder focused awareness.. and more. Even though this is a difficult problem, you can break down both the problem space and the solution end to achieve an understanding of “fit”  Guidance on how the process works  • A working process might read as: Identify topic>Explore challenges therein>Focus down on a specific area>Where are solutions?  • You can explore multiple solutions to a particular issue, or just one potential solution area.  • Solutions can be technology-based or more business/social in nature  • The balance between problem and solution may be different. For example some issues are very complex and most of the essay will be devoted to finding a part of a complex challenge that is addressable, or will make a difference.  • You can write up your investigations as well as conclusions. In some areas, it will take effort to find out suitable data.  • For research advice on how to explore the databases, look at the Library slides!  • You will find yourself asking the Question “What part of this can be solved?” More on Methods & Timing As before, at every stage of the assignment, you will need to use library and other online resources to explore, to investigate, and to analyse critically the results of that exploration.  • Our advice is to quite quickly decide on a Problem space from the list of choices. Or if your group can’t decide, do the initial research phase by researching two ideas at the same time, then meet online to discuss what will work best for the group.  • The next phase will likely involve both exploring the problem, breaking it down into different strands, and also looking at solutions. Our advice is to keep the work at a brainstorming level, at this stage, to keep many options on the table.  • Take an iterative approach towards problem-solution fit; try out ideas, fail them fast, reformulate ideas. Cognitive diversity is good; try to negotiate without too much ego involvement.  • Try to finalise this iterative phase by crafting a good Research Question. This then is the Question that you investigate to find answers. You don’t have to craft a research question but it can make it easier. This is not a dissertation but an investigation. 8 •  The benefit of having a central question is that is it then easier to split up the research work into the different dimensions to investigate. One person might search for evidence; another might look at the cultural dimensions; another the regulatory aspect; another the competitor landscape. Each group member could investigate a different solution.
