Management

Many names have been recognized as notable business leaders. Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Welch, and Colleen Barrett are all leaders identified for their unique approach to leading people. Choose one of the following business leaders for this assignment: Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Jack Welch, Indira Nooyi, Anne Mulcahy, Howard Schultz, Colleen Barrett, Larry Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett, Richard Branson, Susan Wojcicki, Marissa Mayer, or Mary Barra. Select one leader and discuss (in 1,250-1,500 words) what you have learned about the selected individual as a leader and the leadership style that leader embodies. Address the following in your discussion: Introduction Identify a leader and justify why you selected that particular leader. With what organizations is the leader affiliated? In what industry is the leader recognized? How long was the leader in a leadership position? Discuss which leadership theory best describes the chosen leader’s approach to leading people.   What was the leader’s greatest career achievement? Identify a significant career challenge the leader faced and how the challenge was handled. Did the response align more with a managerial role or a leadership role? What power base did the leader use in handling or resolving the challenge? Compare the leadership style used by your selected leader against that of the leader’s successor/predecessor (or competitor in the same industry if a successor/predecessor is not applicable). Was there a difference in the leadership styles? Which leader do you think is more effective and why? Include a personal reflection and identify two to three attributes you hope to emulate or avoid (based on studying this leader) in order to be a successful leader. Conclusion You are required to use at least two external sources to provide evidence in support of the leadership style displayed by your selected leader. The rationale should be justified; this should not be completed based on an opinion. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is not required. This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Identify a highly innovative non-food product or service offered in a foreign country that is hardly available in the US at all (but might nonetheless have the potential for being imported or implemented in the US). Once you have selected the innovation explain orally (3-5 minutes) 1) why the product or service originated in the foreign country and not in the US, 2) to what extent its absence in the US represents a business opportunity, and 3) how you would specifically go about making money by bringing this innovation to the US. Paper is to be 2500 words with supporting data and analysis.

This project  has several parts. You will be evaluated on each part of this project along with additional components at the end of each week and then at the end of the quarter.   You are creating your own non-profit this quarter. You will be the CEO. You will need several people to be part of your organization. You can choose people from the Year Up program to be part of  your organization or you can recruit from the community or even from your family and friends. You should have at least 4 people (with names, titles and job descriptions for each). Identify each person looking at their background as it pertains to their role in your organization and what their role will be in your organization. This information should be listed in the appropriate location of your project.  This and the answers to the following questions will be included in at least one of your project assignments.  Project 1 – Word (This is the starting project document that will become part of your project scope)  What is the name of your organization?  What does your organization do?  Who does your organization serve? What barriers do you think those people will have and how will your organization help them?  How much money do you think you’ll need to start this organization?  Who/which companies would you like to solicit for money? You can use the Year Up internship list for companies, if you’d like.   Create a letterhead for your company. Be creative, but professional. Use style (whatever this means to you), color and a border  on both the letterhead and on the document. Include your company’s name, your name as CEO, location, phone number, email address and web address. You can make up the last three items, but use a real location for your company’s physical address.   On this letterhead, create an introduction letter for each of the companies you are planning to solicit for funds to run your organization. In the body of the letter be sure to include how much you are requesting from them, how you plan to use the money and who the money will serve and why they deserve it.  Mail merge the 5 companies you plan to solicit with their names and web addresses. Include both the main letter and the mail merge in your document upload.  Project 2 – Outlook:  Create a group for your employees in Outlook. Create tasks for them to complete. Snip and include the group and tasks for each person. You can copy and paste these snips into a Word document for upload.  Once you’re done with the other parts of the project, use your group list in Outlook to email them the Word, Excel and PowerPoint parts of your final project. Snip and include this email with your project data. You can copy and paste this snip into a word document for upload.  Project 3 – Excel:  Create a workbook with an appropriate title.  If you have $100K in contract money from those companies, consider the next questions for part of your project.  Where will you house your organization? Look for offices online and gather both locations and rental amounts.  How much salary will you take for yourself and your staff?  How many people will you serve in the first month?  How much money will you allocate for each person?  What overhead costs will you have? Think electricity, water, sewer, rent… look online for those costs and have those costs available for your project.  On the first worksheet, create a spreadsheet of your monthly expenses for the company based on your research for rent, electricity, water, sewer, salaries for your employees (and yourself).   Project the monthly expenses for the year. Make sure your money is projected for each month and fully spent.  Apply a theme to the worksheet – color code and apply styles your columns, rows, title headers and text for each column and row (apply the skills you learned in your Excel projects to make the workbook as professional as possible). Name the worksheet and apply a style to it.  Add a second page with a graph showing how the money will be used. Change the colors and theme to the graph to suit your own style.  Project 4 – PowerPoint:  Using the answers from the questions at the beginning of this page, create a PowerPoint that you would show to prospective investors in your company. This PowerPoint should be at least 10 slides including a title and conclusion slide, with theme, color, pictures that are appropriate for the topics, transitions between slides, animation for each slide, timings and smart art.  Upload your documents when you’ve finished. You’ll have time in class on December 2 and 4 to complete this final project, although you are welcome to start or complete it off campus.  Project 5 – Project  Scope the project, determine the schedule, timeline, ES, EF, LS, LF and lag times. Determine your resources needs, budget needs, estimated costs and actual costs (as close as possible) and then determine if it will need an RFP or proposal from other contractors. If you will need to send out an RPF or proposal, be specific about what you will need (hint: You’ll be creating this RFP later, so the more work you put into it now, the better off you’ll be later.)

Responses must add new information not previously discussed. Pose new possibilities or opinions not previously voiced. Consider new factual information tied with critical thinking. Interesting and current research on the topic. Do not simply summarize another student’s post and agree/disagree. Consider starting out posts with, “A research article I found said, Did you know, 3 things I found interesting were…” Research:  Proteins are a class of macromolecules that perform diverse range of functions for the cell. Proteins can help metabolism by providing structural support and by acting as enzymes, carriers or hormones.  The blocking characteristic of proteins are known as Amino acids. Every Amino acid has a central carbon that is paired to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and an R group or side chain. A long chain of amino acids is known as a polypeptide. Proteins are organized at four levels: primary, secondary, tertiary, and (optional) quaternary. primary structure is the unique sequence of amino acids. Protein shape and function are intricately linked; any change in shape caused by changes in temperature or pH may lead to protein denaturation and a loss in function. Proteins are the most unique versatile molecules in the body. Protein are in fact the polymer of amino acids.   Amico acids are the monomers that make up proteins. Amino acid has the same fundamental structure, which includes a central carbon atom, bonded to an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group, and to a hydrogen atom. Each one of amino acid also has another atom or a team of atoms bonded to the central atoms.    Critical Thinking:  What I got from this, was each protein has a unique shape and are held together by chemical interactions. The protein structure may change if the temperature was subject to change.  The structure of protein and amino acids have a great deal of interactions pertaining to chemical bonding. The proteins have a critical function of folding. Folding process help proteins helpers also known as the chaperones. Although, chaperones are associate with the target protein during the folding process. Usually the categories of amino acid are found in the surface of a soluble protein which in fact interact with water. I believe this an important factor in the research.
