Doctorial Comprehensive Examination

Doctoral Comprehensive Examination (DCE) At the end of Year 3 of the DBA Program, it is a requirement to take, complete, and pass the Doctoral Comprehensive Examination (DCE) as required by the University and its accrediting body.  The purpose of the DCE is to measure your overall understanding of the outcomes you have learned throughout your DBA program. The framework provided is to approach answering/responding to 4 of 5 subject question areas as presented in a scenario. The scenario describes that the student has been promoted to an executive position in a large organization. Therefore, it is from a leadership role that the student is part of the executive leadership team seeking to provide strategic direction for a company dealing with issues associated with growth. Reviewing your DBA courses and the learning outcome objectives will help you to prepare for the examination.  Scenario:   Organizations and their leadership must remain cognizant of immediate and critical change in their practices in the era of imposed restrictions by the COVID-19 pandemic. Responding preemptively and accurately to the change is an essential theme for savvy senior management of any given firm. You are working for a CPA firm with 1800 employees dispersed in several locations in the United States and six subsidiary locations in three other countries. Your company has experienced a sudden and significant increase demand for the services provided to various customer sectors.  You hold the position of Organizational Development Professional at your company. You have been tasked by the senior leadership at your organization to propose a plan of action for implementation for the return of employees to the physical work environment in the second quarter of 2021. You are also charged with keeping the current work-from-home policy for the segment of employees who prefer remote work on a permanent basis. Your new responsibilities include an account of policies, procedures and training modules to be implemented in order to improve the performance of the organization. The goal is to keep the internal capabilities which are part of your organizational advantage compared to the peer market competition.  Information for students responding to the Doctoral Comprehensive Examination; Keep in mind that any plans and initiatives must be implemented effectively to maintain (or hopefully augment) market-share and competitive advantage in the industry. As with most organizational growth, it is also imperative not to reduce the quality of your products or customer service during this phase.  From a leadership perspective, please provide analysis, plans, concepts and strategies that were learned in the DBA program to address four (4) of the following (5) subject areas applied to the business scenario given above:  1. Global Business Initiatives:  You must demonstrate an understanding of the significance of diversification of the company services as you will develop and construct strategies for the sustainability of the company long term. Your strategic analysis should include the value of international business relationships including contracts, laws, and your understanding of their application to the countries where you have branch offices and where you might grow.  2. Corporate Social Responsibility & Sustainability:  You will create a strategy for corporate sustainability that include the perspectives of social, economic, political and environmental impact. The strategy should include any required changes of corporate culture and demonstrate that the implementation of the strategy will lead the organization to sustainable profitability.  3. Strategic Planning & Implementation:  Perform a SWOT analysis and justify how it can assist the organization to attain its goals for the growth of current offices and new locations. Write in detail about how you will successfully overcome resistance to the proposed changes.  4. Creative Solutions:  Write about how you would incorporate learning modules that encourage creative problem-solving for the C-Suite; the division managers; the senior CPAs; and the support segment. Explain in detail how you will foster an environment within the entire organization that encourages creativity. Describe the process by outlining a plan to incorporate creativity and innovation into the organization’s culture.  5. Workforce Planning and Best Practices for Acquisition and Performance Evaluation of the Skilled Employees:  Create a strategy to incorporate and manage methods that will enable the organization to be more competitive. Discuss concepts of workforce training and development as it relates to the multiple generations found in the current workplace. Provide your plan to measure and evaluate the success of your strategic plan at the end of the 2021.  Requirements Written responses must be presented in 13-15 pages (excluding title, reference, and appendices page). APA 7th edition formatted paper. The written response must include headings that indicate each concept area, i.e. global business, creative solutions, etc. The comprehensive examination paper must demonstrate the student’s ability to do doctorate-level research.  Each response must have an appropriate number of scholarly and quality references and in-text citations to support the findings in the response. The APA formatting is part of the evaluation of the examination and students are strongly advised to study APA for correct usage.  • This is an open-book/notes examination and the student will have 10 days to complete it.  • Work will be presented in an APA 7th edition formatted paper that is 13 to 15 pages in length.  • Plagiarism will not be tolerated. Papers must be appropriately cited and will be submitted to Turnitin for originality and similarity analysis.  • Students are allowed to communicate with professors, staff, and colleagues for guidance on explanation or clarification of questions only.  No assistance can be rendered in the form of answering any of the questions.  Any violation of this policy can lead to disqualification and/or termination from the Doctoral Program and is at the discretion of the University.  Grading of the Doctoral Comprehensive Examination Two reviewers will grade each DCE examination within a 10 business day time frame. In the event that the 2 reviewers do not achieve consensus, a 3rd reviewer will be asked to assess the examination. The majority consensus will prevail in the decision of the final grade. For this examination, students can either earn a “Pass,” “Fail,” or “Rewrite.” • If a student earns a “Pass,” they will be allowed to begin the second Final Project/Dissertation block. • If a student earns a “Fail,” they will have a 2nd opportunity to retake the exam in its entirety at the next scheduled exam date set by the University. • If a student earns a “Rewrite,” they will have the opportunity to revise the submitted exam and make the recommended edits, additions, and/or deletions as denoted within a time frame of 5 days. The University will regrade the submission within 5-8 days. Students are only permitted two chances to retake the examination upon a failed grade. If a student receives a second “Fail,” they will not be permitted to progress in the DBA program and may be dismissed from the University.

This is a feedback for this file please edit all. I also provide data uploaded the guideline  please follow the instruction.  2 references also here you can use:  https://sdbs.db.aist.go.jp/sdbs/cgi-bin/cre_index.cgi https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/technical-documents/articles/biology/ir-spectrum-table.html mass of maleic anhydride(g): 1.20 mass of butadiene sulfone(g):2 the table I uploaded should be complete in calculation part There is not an introduction for this paper, please refer to the report rubic found on pilot. You are to be writing a purpose statement (2-3 sentences, 4 max). Why is your reaction scheme pasted over top of half of your writing? It needs to be properly formatted and introduced as has been stated multiple times prior for reports. I can’t read half of what you have in due to the fact that the image is blocking it. Reaction scheme is drawn incorrectly, the reaction is between butadiene sulfone and maleic anhydride, 1,3 butadiene is made from heating the butadiene sulfone. All of this data is to be given in tables, starting weights, final weights, etc. Where are these mol values coming from? You need to show full stoichiometry (g/mL of starting material converted to g of product). These equations must be properly formatted and introduced. Why is this image randomly in the middle of your table? Table needs to be properly formatted and introduced. Your table makes no sense, why are their numbers in the IR bond column? This is where you should be indicating the IR stretch present. What are these values you have written in the remaining columns? These are not the wavenumber values that we discussed during the lab session.  Where is your discussion section? This is where you need to be explaining the IR data and other data collected and how/what determinations were made from this data. This is the bulk of a lab report, it is where the scientific reasoning is to be explained to validate the successfulness of an experiment.  What results? You have to explain and use the crucial data that support your statements. This conclusion should be including relevant IR data and the melting point analysis that validates the formation of the desired product and proves your determinations made from the discussion section. Your procedure is not properly cited, nor do you even have the lab manual in your references. Your literature IR data must each be cited to the source they are obtained from. Where are the mechanisms? Where is your literature search?

Analyzing a conflict experience

 In Unit V, we discussed Model I behaviours and outcomes, and your assignment was to write an essay analyzing a conflict experience. The Unit VIII assignment will be based on the conflict scenario you described in Unit V. The Unit VIII assignment is to create an intervention plan. You will use the conflict experience you analyzed in your Unit V assignment as the basis for the intervention plan you create in Unit VIII. Specifically, in this assignment, you will create a plan for intervention, leading the people who experienced conflict (i.e., from the Unit V assignment) from Model I to Model II relationship patterns. This is referred to as transformative change.  For this assignment, write a minimum of four pages in full length describing your intervention plan to lead the people in conflict toward transformative change. Be sure to use the unit lesson as a guide.  Incorporate at least five library resources to support the ideas you present in your intervention plan. These sources may be drawn from the unit readings or from other sources in the Waldorf Online Library. You should cite these five sources, in addition to the socio-cognitive systems learning model.  Include an introduction, as well as the following elements in your analysis. In the essay describing your intervention plan, please use headings that correspond to these elements. Be sure to refer to the unit lesson for the specific information needed for each section of the intervention plan. 1. Goals for the Intervention: Refer to the unit lesson for the specific information needed for this section. 2. Conflict Scenario: Provide a brief synopsis of the conflict you described in your Unit V assignment. Describe the conflict situation, discussing what happened leading up to this conflict situation and what happened as the conflict occurred. (Be sure to paraphrase this background information rather than copying it directly from your Unit V assignment. Otherwise, the system will flag it for plagiarism.) 3. Changing Values: Refer to the unit lesson for the specific information needed for this section. In your intervention plan, be sure to detail how you will lead the individuals to test their deep underlying assumptions. How will you design this portion of the intervention? Brainstorm some probing questions that you will ask. 4. Changing Behaviors: Refer to the unit lesson for the specific information needed for this section. How will you design this portion of the intervention? Which specific actions will you take to help lead them toward adopting Model II behaviours? Brainstorm some probing questions that you will ask. 5. Double-Loop Learning: First Loop: Refer to the unit lesson for the specific information needed for this section of your intervention plan. Be sure to include some probing questions that you will ask. 6. Changing Outcomes: Refer to the unit lesson for the specific information needed for this section.  7. Double-Loop Learning: Second Loop: Refer to the unit lesson for the specific information needed for this section of your intervention plan. Be sure to include some probing questions that you will ask. 8. Conclusion: Summarize the purpose for transformative learning and, specifically, for this intervention. Also, summarize the process and benefits of your intervention plan.

[SOLVED] Process Skills

One of the most important goals of education is to teach students to think. Science contributes to this goal with its emphasis on hypothesizing, thinking about the physical world, and reasoning from observations and data. The term science process skills are commonly used to describe such processes and is reflective of the behavior of scientists. Create an 8-10 slide digital presentation that you could share with your peers who teach in another content area. Describe and compare two Science and Engineering Practices from the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Appendix F and three Science Processes in the Science Process Skills (https://narst.org/research-matters/science-process-skills).  Be sure to include a title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.Choose one practice or process and provide a 250-500 word rationale as to why it is your favorite. Be sure to describe a complex performance that would teach the practice or process set, aligned to science or health standards from your state. Support your presentation with 2-3 scholarly resources.
