Ashford 5: – Week 4 – Assignment

 

Literacy Lesson Plan
 

Create a developmentally appropriate literacy lesson plan that supports language and literacy experiences.
 

Include the following in your lesson plan, using the template: Identify the lesson objectives.  Describe the alignment with language and literacy      standards.  Describe the lesson procedure. This should be detailed      so that another teacher could use this to implement the lesson.  Explain strategies to support children learning a      second language.  Explain modifications for students with special needs.  Identify appropriate materials.  Use the textbook      and at least one outside resource, with citations in APA format.  Create an assessment plan.  How will you measure      improvement? 

Your one- to two-page lesson plan should utilize the template and be in-depth so another reader would know exactly what to do if they were teaching the lesson. It must be formatted according to APA style, citing two to three scholarly resources (including the course text). Since you will be using a template, it is not necessary to include a title and cover page.
 

Since this is an assignment that you will be able to use in your future role, share your lesson plan with the class through the Doc Sharing tab.  Doing this will allow others to see various language lessons.This will provide you with peer feedback that could help you to continue to grow. That said, you will still need to upload your assignment for grading as a Word file.
 

When you submit your assignments each week, they will be returned to you with specific feedback. This feedback should be used to revise the assignment for the Final Project. Please make the necessary corrections and save for Week Five use in the Final Project.
 

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

MGMT 422 week 3 Individual projects 

Consider the following scenario:

Develop a written proposal outlining a specific product or service idea you have for Triangle Solutions. Triangle’s company type and product area have been left unspecified in order to allow you creativity in invention of your own product ideas and exploration of areas of interest in the market. You may not use the same area or idea used in previous assignments.

Part 1: Proposal

Your professional proposal should describe a new product idea in detail, giving brief consideration to the feasibility of the following categories:  the      industry market size team      requirements scalability      of product financials      (whether or not the product can be sold for more than it costs to make      it—profit potential) 

Your product idea must pass feasibility tests for it to be a viable product idea. Future class assignments will further investigate each of these areas in greater depth and will build from the information you identify and deliver within this assignment.

Part 2: Subsidiary Company

Then, provide the strategy to be employed to get ideas implemented internally, or describe the reasons why a product idea should be spun off into a new subsidiary company owned by Triangle Solutions. Important aspects of this outline are as follows: the      practical definition of the multidisciplinary team that the product idea      requires describing      the different types of team members needed and their respective skill sets where one      would find them for an intrapreneurial versus entrepreneurial approach. 

Be sure to provide support for the strategies or approaches that you have selected. 

Also, be sure to provide APA citation and references where necessary.

You are the Operations Manager for a $50,000,000 (sales) subsidiary of a $750,000,000

corporation. You report to the Divisional Vice President. Your division produces industrial

products that are used in the construction, maintenance, transportation, and equipment

manufacturing industries. The other two divisions in your corporation serve the automotive and

electronics industries. A few products are cross-marketed.

Your division is currently number three in your market place. The number one firm has about

60% of the market, the number two firm has about 25% of the market, and you have about 15%

of the market.

Your products are often used in human safety applications, so product quality is paramount.

Neither you nor your competitors have a competitive quality advantage, nor a distinct production

cost advantage. Being number three in the market place has meant that your division must excel

in customer service and delivery reliability.

Over 90% of your sales come through manufacturing representatives to regional distributors who

hold inventory of your most popular products in limited quantities. To keep your distributors loyal,

your company works very hard on customer service.

Your division currently has about 4,000 products in your catalog. About 1,200 items are “in-stock”

(MTS, Make-to-Stock) items. The remaining 2,800 items are “non-stock” items that can be

considered to be Make-To-Order (MTO). The MTO items are not stocked but are manufactured

if, and only if, an order for them is received.

Your division promises to ship all “in-stock” items within 24 hours of receiving the order. If the

order is received by noon, the order is shipped that day. Because most of your orders are small

and are delivered to diverse addresses, UPS is the preferred shipping mode.

In contrast, your two sister divisions operate on a much longer lead-time and ship in

comparatively larger quantities. They tend to operate much more in the MTO mode and do not

offer the fast 24-hour shipping responses that your division does.

The corporate headquarters are in St. Louis, Missouri, where the company was founded in the

1910s. You are located in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, where manufacturing operations were

moved in the 1950s to exploit the lower labor costs. The corporate North American Warehouse

(NAW) is located in a western suburb of St. Louis to be near the St. Louis airport. Virtually all

shipments to customers are made from the NAW. Several years ago, to stay competitive,

production operations started to shift from the Cape Girardeau location to a plant in Mexico. The

shift to Mexico has been successful overall, but the plant does not always deliver what is needed

and is sometimes late in delivering parts to the NAW.

The corporation installed SAP several years ago. You have been far too busy to thoroughly

investigate all of the details, but everyone in the organization seems to be satisfied at some level

with the system.

Because you are the STO (Senior Technical Officer) of your division, you also manage the client

support group (located near the St. Louis airport) which consults with clients on selecting which

products to purchase and offers consulting/project management services for installing your

products. Your direct reports include the Plant Manager in Cape Girardeau, the Plant Manager in

Mexico, the Divisional Supply Chain Manager, the Manager of Product Quality Control, and the

Divisional Customer Support Manager. Your chief peers are the Director of Marketing and the

Manager of the Divisional Headquarters staff. Order entry reports to the Director of Marketing.

Purchasing, Accounting, Finance, HR, and IT functions are handled at the corporate level. The

manager of the NAW formally reports to the VP of the automotive division, but he is tasked to

serve all three divisions equitably.

Several months ago, a new CEO took the reigns of your parent company. She is looking to

improve profits, and is tasking all three divisions to reduce costs. For your division, she is

particularly interested in reducing inventory while maintaining (improving) current customer

service levels. She also questions whether having the Customer Support staff centrally located in

St. Louis is really the best way (in terms of cost and service) to service your customers.

Your boss, the Divisional VP, has asked you to put together an analysis of your division’s

operations and to produce a plan to improve operations with an eye to reducing costs.

Deliverable Length: 

500–750 words

As a newly promoted vice president (VP), your chief executive officer (CEO) has invited you to participate in this year’s upcoming strategic planning session. You know that this will be high-level type planning versus the more routine type planning you have done in the past. To prepare for this, you have done some research and noted the generic strategies model (cost leadership, differentiation, and focus) in a lot of the strategic-planning literature. 

Using the Generic Strategies model, complete the following requirements: Identify and describe 3 retail firms. Note which of the 3 broad strategies that each firm      seems to have chosen (low-cost producer, niche supplier, or      differentiation strategy). Identify at least 2 specific tactics that each of the      three employ to support your opinion of their method of competing. Do the tactics you cited seem to be working? On what      evidence can you base your answer? 

Please refer to the following multimedia course material(s):  Unit 4: Conceptualizing a New Business Unit 4: Introduction to Strategic Planning Unit 4: Cost Leadership and Differentiation Unit 4: Strategy & Mission Statement Unit 4: Success & the 4 Functions of MGMT Unit 4: SWOT Analysis Unit 4: Company strategy

Analysis of Development Theories

Assignment: Analysis of Development Theories

Competent social workers are able to construct a strong foundation upon which to build skills by understanding theories from a variety of disciplines. The disciplines of psychology, education, and sociology offer a number of development theories that can easily be applied to the practice of social work. For this Assignment, consider how a theory from another discipline may shed light on social work practice with children and adolescents.

 A 2- to 4-page paper in which you choose a theory of development from another discipline (refer to Erikson, Piaget, Freud etc.). In your analysis, be sure to address how the theory does or does not relate to social work practice. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer.

I need a cover page.

8 Page Paper (Privacy Rights) APA Format

/in /by

TOPIC——–PRIVACY RIGHTSFinal Research Project

The topic of your project needs to be a contemporary societal problem, such as healthcare reform, immigration reform, privacy rights, euthanasia, First Amendment Rights, stem cell research, capital punishment, corporate prisons, legalizing drugs, ageism, animal rights, cloning, prayer in schools, racial profiling, recycling/conservation, sexism, outsourcing jobs, workplace bullying, etc. The topic must focus on a single aspect, as in “How far do corporations intrude into the private lives of their employers?” or “The social costs of financing the distribution of custom-designed drugs.” You may suggest another topic to use, but the instructor must approve the topic during the Week Two Discussion.

The Final Research Project will present research relating the responsibilities of a critical thinker to contemporary society. In this assignment, you will do the following:Research one aspect of a contemporary social problem.Define the problem.Propose a possible solution for the problem.Create an argument that supports your thesis position. You should take on the perspective of a critically thinking researcher. The argument must present a thesis statement and evidence to support the thesis statement.Evaluate the ethical outcomes that result from the position you take on the issue and explain how those outcomes would influence society and culture.Interpret statistical data from at least two peer-reviewed scholarly sources.Evaluate evidence using the following standards: validity, reliability, and bias related to the chosen topic and accurately identify strengths and weaknesses.

Research and Define the Problem
You must take on the perspective of your major field of study and explain in your paper what that perspective is and how it informs your view of the topic. The topics listed above are far too broad to write about in 10–12 pages (3,300–3,900 words). Instead, you must choose a narrowly defined thesis and approach it from the perspective of your field.

Example: If you are an economics major, and you are interested in immigration reform, you should approach a very specific aspect of immigration reform through the lens of economic theory and practice. A specific thesis question would not be, “How does illegal immigration influence the U.S. economy?” One could write thousands of pages on such a topic. Instead, a better question would be, “How do illegal immigrant hotel workers in Chicago impact the economy of Northern Illinois?” You would then want to do the research and determine the positive and negative impacts they have, ultimately trying to conclude how illegal immigration in this area should be approached ethically.

How to Hone Your Thesis: It is important that you start your research early in this course. Try to find the most important contemporary questions and theories in your field of study and then align the most important questions with a very specific aspect of the general topics above. For example, if you are a psychology major, you might want to start thinking within the realm of healthcare reform or aspects of mental health and criminality in the prison system.

Your Argument
You must present a complete argument, including a major claim with at least five points of evidence, information, or data that will prove the claim.The thesis statement must beA clear, simple declarative sentence as the first or last sentence in the opening paragraph of the essay.Of such a nature that it can be substantiated, corroborated, verified, and proved through appeal to primary or secondary academic research source materials.The introductory paragraph mustPresent the thesis statement, an explanation for the importance of the topic, and its relation to the student’s field of study.Beliefs, opinions, and personal opinions must not be introduced at any point in the essay.All beliefs and opinions should be supported with academic evidence. Sweeping generalizations with no supporting academic evidence do not reflect adequate critical thinking skills.Do not include rhetorical questions in your essays. All the questions that are pertinent to your project need to be answered in your essay and your answers again need to be supported with evidence from peer-reviewed journal articles and academically published books.

Attributes of Good Critical Thinking in PapersYour paper should include academic sources that explain multiple sides of the issue.The evidence that you use should come from high-level researchers engaged in your field of study.Your interpretations of the evidence should be objective and state the conclusions and theses presented in the evidence clearly and fairly.Your paper should place the various forms of evidence in relation to one another and demonstrate why one form or perspective is stronger than the other positions that one could take on the issue.Your paper should point out the limitations of current evidence and attempt to indicate areas for future research.

Ethical Outcomes of the Position You Take
After you have defined the problem and created an argument about how one ought to respond to the issue, you need to explain the ethical outcomes of the position you have taken. This should again be in relation to the field of study in which you are working. There might be different ethical outcomes that result from your analysis. For example, going back to the example issue above, from an economic standpoint, illegal immigrants might contribute positively to the economy of Northern Illinois in a specific number of ways. Thus, an economist who believes that positive impact to the economy is the greatest good would say that one should promote the use of illegal immigrants. However, because these workers are often paid less than others and eliminate jobs that could be done by residents of Chicago, there could be other negative ethical outcomes that would outweigh the positive impacts to the economy. It is your goal to draw out the ethical implications of your thesis and explain the underlying rationale that is the foundation for your claim that one action is better than another.Critical thinkers are those who can outline the positive and negative ethical impacts of their positions. In addition, they are able to provide a rationale for why they believe a specific position is the right position, even when it leads to negative outcomes.Critical thinkers are also able to be honest and objective about the limitations and gray areas that pertain to their theses.

Final Research Project Requirements
The Final Research Project may be presented as a formal research paper (essay format), a PowerPoint presentation, a video, or a podcast equivalent to a minimum of 10 – 12 pages in APA format (approximately 3,300 – 3,900 typewritten words, excluding title page and reference pages). Written essays must adhere to all APA formatting standards and requirements, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

PowerPoint presentations must adhere to the basic principles of PowerPoint presentation design and must include citations and references according to APA standards and requirements.

Videos and podcasts must include a full transcript, in APA format, including appropriate in-text citations and a references page.

Quotations:
