1. You have just been hired by Yummy Juicy, a national corporation that sells organic juices at most major retail stores. You have been hired as the West Coast Distribution Manager. After about five weeks on the job, you get the following email: Sir/Ma’am,   You are hurting this company. You have continued to try to force all of us to change our ways and follow procedures that are no good. I am not sure why you got the job. You trained us on the new procedures, which wasted hours of our time. Don’t bother to reply to this email, I know nothing will change. R/  Bob (disgruntled employee)   2. Complete the following:   a. Develop an email response. Use the three-step process for being assertive. Bob is one of your first-line supervisors and has been with the company for 20 years. Mary, another supervisor tells you that Bob is just trying to bully you and that most other supervisors love the new processes. b. Do you find it difficult to be assertive in your own life (personal and professional)? Why or why not?  c. What are the risks of being assertive with Bob? Make sure you utilize common course terminology when explaining the risks. 3. Mary comes to you later in the day and says, “Boss, Bob is trying to negotiate with you, he has a target in mind, and is not flexible, so his limit is not much different than his target.” Explain what Mary is talking about (explain, in your OWN words, the concepts of targets and limits during negotiations).

Students will write a 3 – 4 page reaction paper based on their own individual feedback / thoughts / commentary / etc. This reaction paper will reflect student understanding of the following SLO: Demonstrate proficiency in critical thinking by evaluating the impact of training and development / performance management on a company’s culture and bottom line What to Do in a Reaction Paper Research the topic thoroughly and ensure read the material you find very carefully: (web site; current event, news story, textbook, and etc.) Think about and evaluate what the impact of training and development / performance management on a company’s culture and bottom line Do not just summarize what you read – provide thoughtful professional opinions on the topic (this should be a response or reply not simply a rehashing of what the original author is saying!) Think about 1 or 2 major points you want to articulate in your reaction paper and define those clearly (normally one argument per one paragraph) Describe your point first (“Lessons Learned,” “What you agreed on…” or “What you disagreed on…”) Justify why you think that way Provide real-world examples or evidence – you may use any example you are familiar with (including examples we discussed in class or from the textbook) Do not assume the reader automatically knows what you are talking about when you mention a name or theory (i.e. Enron or Wal-Mart) Provide sufficient background information and explain how your examples support your argument and reinforces your point of view Provide how your points relate to Human Resources / Organizational Behavior / the impact of training and development / performance management on a company’s culture and bottom line Include a conclusive statement at the end after you finish articulating all the points Include a works cited section for all sources used within the research paper Points will be based upon the student’s ability to demonstrate proficiency in critical thinking by evaluating the impact of conflicts on organizational effectiveness. It is important to express your thoughts clearly and have a focused well-honed thesis. Since this is a “reaction paper”, students should include an abundance of reactions / personal perspectives that reflect their thoughts. Treat this as if it were a professional document. That means it must be presentable and coherent – please proofread your reaction paper carefully and check for diction, syntax, grammar, typos, and etc. LINK TO ONLINE TEXTBOOK: https://bookshelf.vitalsource.com/#/ Username: [email protected] Password: Vitalsource123!

Lastly, spell-check and proofread your work! Failure to follow these steps will negatively impact your grade. For this course, you will submit versions of your paper through Turnitin. An Originality Report will become available within a few minutes after your first submission. Inside the Originality Report will be a Similarity Index. The Similarity Index will show a percentage of the material in your paper if it matches other sources found by Turnitin. You will be expected to have a Similarity Index of less than 20%. If your Similarity Index is greater than 20% you will need to review your Originality Report to be sure that you have paraphrased your work appropriately and cited and referenced your work correctly. If you have done so and your Similarity Index is greater than 20%, you may disregard the Similarity Index percentage. The Originality Report will help you to avoid plagiarism, as well as improve the quality and content of your writing. It is strongly suggested that you keep direct quotations to a minimum, and never copy and paste text without proper citations. You have until the activity due date to resubmit your work to Turnitin, however, there will commonly be a 24-hour delay before the Originality Report becomes available. It is your responsibility to submit your activity on time, with a Similarity Index of less than 20%. As noted above, if you have paraphrased your work appropriately, cited and referenced your work correctly, and your Similarity Index is greater than 20%, disregard the Similarity Index percentage.

***THIS IS A POWERPOINT *** Using the same organization, you selected in Week 1, imagine that you will be making a Microsoft Power Point presentation to the organization’s board of directors or other decision-making leaders (depending upon the type of organization you are using). Your work this week will consist of two parts for the presentation. First, you will synthesize the key insights you have learned during the past five weeks. Second, you will present an Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) strategy, a pricing objective, and a pricing strategy to the board of directors. Because this second part involves new material in the project, it will probably require the most research and analysis to complete this week’s presentation. The following sections provide greater detail about the two pieces of your presentation. Note: The expectation for this project is a scholarly presentation. A scholarly presentation has two main distinctions: The notes sections of slides contain research citations, evaluation, and conclusions—just like in a good scholarly paper. In other words, a reader should be able to read your notes section as if he or she is reading an academic paper. The grading rubric suggests a level of critical thinking for the presentation (in the notes section particularly) that is on the level of a good academic paper. Key points and information on the slides are highlighted. A good slide contains no more than six lines of text. The slide should just contain the “big ideas” to help guide your reader through the main points. In addition, for this project in particular, the first several sections of your presentation will use material you composed in the previous weeks of the project. However, use the slides and notes sections to show that you can do more than just copy from the previous weeks’ papers. Show that you can summarize the material and present the most important points to your audience. Part 1: Summary of Key Insights from the Course Project to Date Using course work (and feedback!) you have completed so far in the course project, summarize key points regarding the organizational mission and how the new product/service and your proposed service delivery enhancements contribute to the organization’s ability to complete the mission. New Mission; New Product/Service (2 slides) Provide a brief overview of the new/improved mission statement and the new/improved product or service you are proposing. Provide the board of directors with supported rationale for how the new product/service contributes to achieving the new/improved organizational mission. Service Delivery Enhancements (2 slides) Provide a brief overview of service delivery enhancements to improve efficiency and effectiveness. Provide the board of directors with supported rationale for how the service delivery enhancements contribute to achieving organizational mission. Part 2: Communication Strategy As new material for this week, you need to communicate to your “organization’s” market segment the key benefits that make the organization distinct from the competitors. In addition, you need to announce the improvements in the delivery of the services by the company. Justify an Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) strategy that includes the following: Advertisement (5–7 slides) Propose an advertisement featuring the new (improved) services and containing the following elements: A headline A subhead line A brand–positioning statement An artwork A layout Justify traditional and nontraditional channels to carry the advertisement. In the notes section, justify your channel selection. Use research to support your work. Pricing (2–3 slides) Justify both a pricing objective and a pricing strategy for the company on the basis of the information gathered from the case study, an understanding of the competition, and the likely attitude of current customers. In the notes section, justify why the organization should adopt the pricing objective and follow your pricing strategy, using appropriate examples, research, and reasoning. Conclusion (1 slide) Conclude with a statement positioning the brand around the new service delivery. In the notes section, defend the statement. Support your work with research
