Crisis management and crisis communications are specialized business disciplines. In times of crisis, companies can act in a number of ways, from ignoring the situation and hoping it passes in the next news cycle to aggressively defending itself after the fact. Smart companies have plans that can be used in any crisis situation. Using the company developed in the Unit 4 Individual Project, select a crisis that negatively affects the business from a legal or image standpoint. Develop a series of scenario statements that you write ahead of time that you will present to the management and legal departments so that they may be used swiftly in a time of crisis.

We are talking about perception and culture. The items that we wear and the things we surround ourselves with tell a story about us. I want you to think of an item that you own that tells a story about you. We may not think too much about these items on a daily basis because they are a part of our everyday life. We form impressions of others based upon these very things. We call any physical item that can give someone a sense of that person’s culture an artifact. For example, a Rolex watch is an example of an artifact. What would you think if you saw someone wearing a Rolex watch?

For example, a Rolex watch is an example of an artifact. What would you think if you saw someone wearing a Rolex watch?
Your task this week is to describe an artifact from your own life. I want you to describe the item (or even better-post a picture!). What does this item say about you? What does this item reflect about your culture’s values? Does it reflect positively or negatively on your self-concept?

(b) Repeat assuming that half of the operands and instructions are one byte long. 

Create a culturally congruent plan for reduction of exceptionally high levels of type 2 diabetes among American Indians/Alaska Natives. As compared with whites, why do American Indians have higher levels of increased smoking, obesity, and sedentary lifestyles, which contribute to the type 2 diabetes rates? Why is the Indian Health Service an important part of health care that is historically “owed” to American Indians/Alaska Natives?

Addressing U.S. American Indians (Native Americans)/Alaska Natives and Diabetes
The mortality rate for American Indians, which includes Alaska Natives (Native Americans), has increased primarily because of the effects of type 2 diabetes. The Indian Health Service has provided the Special Diabetes Program for Indians, resulting in increased spending for health care; however, the rate for age-adjusted deaths has increased as compared with white Americans.
Infectious diseases are decreasing, while chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, are increasing in this population. Data collected were mainly from Navaho Indians living in the western part of the United States. Other major health issues include obesity, cardiovascular diseases, smoking, and hypertension. Also discussed was the high rate of sedentary lifestyles as compared with much greater daily physical activities historically.
Questions to be addressed in your paper:

Create a culturally congruent plan for reduction of exceptionally high levels of type 2 diabetes among American Indians/Alaska Natives.
As compared with whites, why do American Indians have higher levels of increased smoking, obesity, and sedentary lifestyles, which contribute to the type 2 diabetes rates?
Why is the Indian Health Service an important part of health care that is historically “owed” to American Indians/Alaska Natives?

Explain the purpose of planning and goals in organizations and the role of decision-making in this context; Explain the strategic management process (planning)and how it applies at the corporate, business unit, and functional levels in creating sustainable competitive advantage; and the role of decision-making.

The book that you will need to use is, “The Real Thing. Truth and Power at the Coca-Cola Company.” It was written by Constance L. Hays.

Develop assessment criteria based on course material. Your team should develop specific criteria or questions that you will answer about the organization as we cover each unit of material in class. These questions should address one or more important concepts from every chapter in the textbook. Research your organization. Research may include interviewing company officials, examining company documents, consulting contemporary news sources. In order to gather the information, you will want to use the World Wide Web, libraries and their databases, financial data, the organization’s Annual Report, and interviews with key management personnel (via phone, e-mail, or in person). You will gather more information than you can put in the presentation, so you will be expected to use only the best and most relevant data.
