1. Students will write a 2 to 4-page critical review of the dissertation they have chosen.  The review will be based on concepts learned in class, articles from class, and textbooks).  Choosing a dissertation:  It must clearly use a qualitative research method discussed in Merriam & Tisdell (2016) book.   Here are some general guidelines. 2. Writing the review: Assume an intelligent audience that doesn’t know much about research design.  Don’t write the review in the first person, use a third-person narrative.  Don’t just summarize the article.  I don’t care about your opinion of the article.  Critically review it based on what you know about research. Liberally refer to the textbooks for reference as you analyze your paper.  Here are some areas to think about as you are reviewing the article (not an inclusive list): *Does the author clearly provide a statement of the problem? *Does the statement provide adequate justification for the research? *Is there a research/guiding question? *Is it clear and concise? *Does the literature review align with the problem statement? *Does the author clearly identify their research method? *Can you match it with a method described by Merriam & Tisdell? *What methods were used to validate the data? Describe the triangulation. *Was the appropriate analysis used for the study?  Was it justified? *What was the result? 3. Format: The analysis will be formatted per the APA guide, 7th edition.  This requirement will be STRICTLY adhered to.  Use a formal paragraph structure to write your paper (A topic sentence, the body, and a closing sentence).  Do NOT use the questions above as headings in your paper.

Find a Nebraska-based organization’s annual report online (one that is headquartered in Nebraska if it has multiple locations). It can be from a publicly traded for-profit or non-profit organization. Once you find an organization, you can easily find their annual report by searching “organization name + annual report.” You should not have to purchase this document to view it; the most reliable source for the annual report is the organization’s website. Make sure the annual report is no older than 2018, and contains graphics as well as written content. You will need to review the front content that contains the broad overview of the organization, but not any pages in the back containing financial statements (typically a text-heavy, lengthy section of balance sheets, cash flow statements, etc. These may be labeled as Form 10-K, Proxy, or Proxy Statement). What you are looking for will likely have a creative layout, graphics, and summaries of information. After reviewing the report, answer the following questions. Parts B-E should each be answered with two complete sentences. Please label your responses Part A, Part B, etc., as this makes your answers easier to identify. Part A) List all of the following: the Nebraska-based organization the year of the annual report the website where you found the annual report Part B) Who is the target audience for this report? What evidence do you have for this? Part C) How is the report organized? How do you evaluate this approach? Part D) What evidence does the report provide to validate/support its claims? For example, do they cite any internal sources or provide data? Part E) After reading the annual report only, what is your opinion of this organization’s financial situation and accomplishments from the last year?

Instructions In the previous week, you focused on the reasons for a strategy and answered key strategic questions for your chosen company.  You also received feedback from your professor. For this assignment, incorporate the feedback that you received from your first assignment and add a second component that focuses on the set of skills that the leader needs in order to develop and implement the strategy. Therefore, imagine that you are in the beginning stage of strategic planning in your chosen company and that you have been tasked with leading the strategic planning process. This strategic planning process will take approximately the next 6 weeks to complete. During this first week, you have gathered organizational leaders to introduce the strategic planning process. They have asked you to deliver a presentation on your initial thoughts to the really big questions. You also want to guide them to work together over the next 5 weeks on gathering data so you can eventually have concrete and specific answers to the key tactical and operational questions. For your meeting, create a PowerPoint presentation to share with organizational leaders that summarizes your responses to the really big questions and introduces the key to tactical and operational questions, as well as a consideration of the skills that will be needed to accomplish this. Be sure to include the following in your presentation: Summarize the highlights of your responses to the strategic questions. Communicate your initial thoughts to the key tactical questions. Your presentation should not focus on full and complete answers to these questions; rather it should be a presentation to the leadership to identify the most important considerations that your company must consider when answering these questions. What data must be gathered to answer these questions? What type of research must be conducted? What leadership skills must be in place to accomplish this? Conclude by asking the team of organizational leaders to perform specific tasks over the next week to take the next step in the strategic planning process. Remember, this is not intended to be a full and complete strategic plan. You will not have a full and complete strategic plan until the final Signature Assignment. As you move through each weekly assignment, you will continue to research, investigate, and expand each piece of the strategic plan. Your professor will provide ongoing feedback so that you can revise and edit each section as you go.

When most people think of leaders, they think of someone like Abraham Lincoln, Alexander the Great, Winston Churchill, Margaret Thatcher, or Martin Luther King, Jr. However, it is important to recognize that we are surrounded by leaders in every facet of our lives—at home, work, church, and volunteer organizations. The same qualities that a head of state possesses are needed to be a successful coach, to teach a Bible Study class, to lead a family, or to succeed in business. However, most people are not born with natural leadership qualities. For the majority, leadership is learned and developed. Do you have a personal leadership development plan? In this week’s discussion forum, list the leadership traits you would like to develop. What steps are you taking to grow into the sort of person you aspire to be? Share your answers to these two questions with your classmates in this week’s forum discussion. As the syllabus explains, submit your initial post by Thursday night at 11:55 p.m. Your post should contain a minimum of 400 words.

Answer the following questions: 1. Do you agree that it’s better to work outside the office? 2. Do you think any of the suggestions offered by the presenter are viable options? Why? 3. Do you think providing options to work outside the office is better or worse for productivity? Why?
