I need a assignment done for week 10 for my strategic partnering w | Strategic Partnering w C-Suite
Assignment 4: CEO Meeting Managing Conflicts and Confidences Due: Sunday, Midnight of Week 10 (12% of total grade) Overview HR leaders frequently find themselves in situations that require tact and diplomacy. While most business decisions are made in ways that balance potential conflicts, occasionally, there are serious ethical and legal challenges that must be navigated. C-Suite leaders must be able to deal with situations that do not have an obviously right solution, that involve power struggles and confidences and that sometimes pit the interests of individuals against one another, and the interests of the business. HR leaders must also understand the role they play both as advocates for employees and strategic partners to the C-Suite. Having a seat at the table frequently requires a delicate and nuanced approach to conflict management, while still demanding that HR be clear in its message. It also, frequently, requires that decisions must be made about if, when and how to bring a problem to the CEO and when the issue should be dealt with at a lower level. Instructions This assignment is based on the attached scenario which presents a complex ethical and (potentially) legal challenge. Information has surfaced that may involve an ethical and/or legal violation, but a fellow employee has asked that this concern be kept confidential. While the discussion was after hours and private, because of the potential seriousness of the situation you determine you must address this with the CEO. As part of this discussion you must not just update the CEO, but give a recommendation and rationale for your CEO to consider. You cant simply leave CEO with the problem. Your recommendation should address: o Stakeholders and impact o Explanation of the legal issues and/or regulations involved o Risk-reward assessment based on alternatives being considered o Outline of proposed actions o How the situation and decision should be communicated to employees and the public You may organize your presentation as you wish, but you should imagine yourself walking into the CEOs office, closing the door and beginning your conversation with, Something important has just come to my attention that I need to discuss with you
Analysis and application: procedures in a criminal trial
Case Study:
Jones, Walsh, and Bert have been arrested on suspicion of rape and criminal assault of a 14-year-old girl. As the police investigation unfolds they locate and obtain the statement of Bland, who provides them additional information about Jones. The evidence the police uncover reveals that there have been three separate assault and rapes of juveniles over a 3-day period.
The prosecutor in the case files charges against Jones, Walsh, and Bert for their acts. Bert hires an attorney to defend him. Bert tells his defense attorney that he did not commit any of the rapes and that he was only present one time with Jones and all he did was hit one of the girls. Bert explains that he can prove this because at the times the other rapes are alleged to have occurred, he was with Mook. Mook is currently out of the country on a mountain climbing trip and will not return for 2 months.
Shortly after the prosecutor files charges in the case, Bland contacts the prosecutors office and provides a written statement to the prosecutor that Walsh was not present during any of the rapes.
In a 2 page paper (excluding the title page and reference page), discuss the following questions, explaining your answers in detail by analyzing the facts presented and other factors you consider relevant; defining and explaining key legal terms and principles; and citing legal authority (your text and other legal authority) to support your conclusions.
How should the court rule on Berts motion for severance in the case?
What should the prosecutor do following the statement Bland after charges had been filed against Walsh?
How should the court rule on Berts motion to continue regarding Mook?

Resting Heart Rates of American Adults
A normal resting heart rate for adults ranges from 60 to 100 beats a minute, reports Dr. Edward Laskowski of the Mayo Clinic. Lower resting heart rates are generally associated with higher cardiovascular fitness. With the marked increase in obesity in America, there is rising concern that the average resting heart rate of American adults is trending towards the higher end of the accepted range. A recent study conducted by the Statistical Health Association of America validates this concern. Results were based on a sample of 1587 American adults (ages 18 and older). The mean resting heart rate from this sample was calculated at 87 beats per minute (bpm). The study concludes, with 95% confidence, that the true mean resting heart rate of American adults is in the interval (80, 94).

Security plan -privacy policies- risk assessments
Part 1 Devils Canyon
Part A: Ch. 3 Role Playing Sim: Devils Canyon
In this simulation, you will evaluate how to design an enterprise architecture for a Mountain Resort. Your job is to utilize the teams vision to design the enterprise architecture using the interactive map tools while staying within budget. Using the Devils Canyon Simulation Access link, complete the interactive before moving to Part B.
Part B: Policies, Plans, and Risks
Now that youve seen all of the elements contributing to the Devils Canyon enterprise architecture, Justin wants to move forward with developing privacy policies to ensure videos arent distributed or uploaded to the net without the consent of the people in them. This opens a much larger conversation: Devils Canyon is also in need of a complete security plan, as well as risk assessments.
In a 3- to 4-page rationale and table, prepare the following information to present to the Devils Canyon team:
Explain the relationship between policies and security plans. Identify potential policy needs, noting Justins privacy policy, in relation to the Devils Canyon enterprise structure.
Outline the importance of a security plan in relation to security roles and safeguards.
Analyze at least 5 security-related risks/threats that Devils Canyon may face.
Assess the probability and impact to the Devils Canyon if each risk occurs. Based on these two factors, determine the overall risk level. For purposes of this assignment, evaluate and categorize each factor as low, medium, or high, and create a table to illustrate the risks. For example, a risk/threat with a low likelihood of occurrence and a high impact would represent an overall medium risk.
Consider digital elements mentioned in the designing of the enterprise architecture, such as software, hardware, proposed security measures, smart lift tickets, webcam systems, and smartphones.
Part 2 Devils Canyon
Using the potential risks for Devils Canyon you identified in Part 1, create a 4- to 5-page matrix to share with the team. In your matrix, you should do the following:
Describe briefly each of the identified risks/threats.
Evaluate the security controls that mitigate each of the risks/threats identified.
Provide a rationale for how each of the controls identified mitigates the risk to an acceptable level.
Research and describe the security technologies and security design that can be used to mitigate each of the identified information security risks.

40. Techware Incorporated is considering the introduction of two new software products to the market. In particular, the company has four options regarding these two proposed products: introduce neither product, introduce product 1 only, introduce product 2 only, or introduce both products. Research and development costs for products 1 and 2 are $180.000 and $150,000, respectively. Note that the first option entails no costs because research and development efforts have not yet begun. The success of these software products depends on the trend of the national economy in the coming year and on the consumers reaction to these products. The companys revenues earned by introducing product 1 only, product 2 only, or both products in various states of the national economy are given in the table below. The probabilities of observing a strong, fair, and weak trend in the national economy in the coming year are 0.30, 0.50, and 0.20, respectively.a. Formulate a payoff table that specifies Techwares net revenue (in dollars) for each possible decision and each outcome with respect to the trend in the national economy.b. Use Precision Tree to identify the strategy that maximizes Techwares expected net revenue from the given marketing opportunities.c.

In response to which model inputs is the expected net revenue most sensitive?
ITS 3110 Savannah Applied System Alnalysis Identifying Requirements Paper
Mobile technologies represent a significant part of today’s software market. Their pervasive nature enables experienced, as well as inexperienced, users to interact with them for accomplishing a particular task. In addition, the diffusion of the computing systems on which they run, such as smartphones or tablets, coupled with an intertwined retail method (application stores present on all devices), allows for a capillary distribution of such applications.For this project, assume you are a programmer analyst. You are required to identify an organization, and then utilize the knowledge acquired in the course to simulate the creation of a mobile application that your company will be able to sell to the organization. Based on the description of the organization (you may get this from their website or directly from the personnel), you should identify a possible application that may be of interest to them. The application should contain different features, including data-driven material that should be available within the application itself, without having to rely on external data sources.For example, you select a large sports goods company and decide to create a customer-guidance application for the company. The application should offer an interface where customers could type in what they are looking for to be guided through the store leading them to the right department or section. The application should also enable the customers to watch video demonstrations of the products available in the store, after they scan the product barcode by using a camera. Moreover, the application should be able to suggest places in the store vicinity where customers may try certain items; for example, the application may guide the customers to archery ranges if they are interested in bows and arrows. Perhaps, you could add a feature that suggests apparel to the customers based on their lifestyle and something they can easily purchase through the device, without needing to go to the store.You could use Microsoft PowerPoint or Visio for creating these diagrams. You should assume that the project could be handled in-house, therefore, no outsourcing should be considered through the project. This week, complete the following tasks in a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document:Provide an in-depth description of the company..Provide a list of all the potential stakeholders of this project. Justify your selection of stakeholders.Provide a complete statement of work.
IU Communications Visual Aids Assist the Speaker Discussion
Using Presentation Aids to Enhance Your Speech BACKGROUNDPresentations are used for a variety of purposes. Most often, they are used to inform, teach, report, advertise, persuade, or inspire audience. Depending to the purpose of a presentation, its content, structure, and design may differ.Purpose of informative presentations is to inform about events or demonstrate some products, services, or product functions. While teaching presentations demonstrate how to do certain things: operate a device/tool or implement new process. Reporting presentations, on the other hand, convey status report of a project or process.Other common types of presentation in a business field are those that advertise, persuade, or inspire audience. Presentations focused on advertising target sales of products of services; persuasive presentations engage auditorium in decision making, while inspiring presentations engage into problem solving.When type and purpose of presentation are selected, presentation slides need to be designed with that purpose in mind. Slide design approach known as assertion-evidence (AE), is often used in the professional field. What is AE approach? Alley (n.d.) provides a clear outline of what AE approach is:This approach will help you to create better understood presentations, as evidenced by tests of audience comprehension. In addition, the approach will make your presentations more focused and help you to project more confidence.In the assertion-evidence approach, you build your talk on messages (not topics) to tell a coherent and compelling story about your work. Those messages you then support with visual evidence (not bullet lists). In addition, you engage the audience by fashioning sentences on the spot, but after practice.Presentations often contain visual elements that help to communicate a message or idea with less words. Those different visual elements are called presentation aids. Presentation aids include but are not limited to images/photographs, charts, tables, graphs, videos, audios, and special visual effects like animation.Before you proceed with this assignment, please review the following videos that give excellent information about how to use other types of aids during your speech:Video #1: Using Visual Aid Part 1Video #2: Using Visual Aid Part 2Alle, M. (n.d.) Assertion-Evidence Approach. Retrieved form Part 1: After researching and reviewing the various types of presentation aids, decide which would be best-suited to add to the speech you gave last week. Justify your choice in one paragraph.Part 2: Reflect on your experiences in this class.
University of Prince Edward Island Child Abuse and Family Violence Paper
Explore the vignette and identify the type(s) of abuse, indicators of abuse, possible cause(s) of the abuse, the possible long-term effects of abuse, and the appropriate fashion in which this case should be handled by a mandated reporter. This should be 4 to 5 pages long and have a cover page, abstract, and reference page, which do not count towards the 4 to 5 pages. Use your text to properly reference all key terms and ideas related to your case investigation. It should be in APA format, so see the guide uploaded under course materials for assistance. Vignette: Jasmine is a 14-year-old African American girl in the 9th grade. She lives at home with her mother and has no contact or information on the identity and whereabouts of her father. Her mother dates frequently and Jasmine has been exposed to several men. Jasmine is having some difficulty with school work and it may be because she is frequently tardy for school and sleepy or sluggish when she arrives. She and her mother argue and even physically fight at home, which has made it difficult for her to keep up with her schoolwork. When she was younger she and her mother got along very well, but once Jasmine started middle school, she became moody and her mother’s current boyfriend moved into the home. Jasmine does not care for him either. She feels that he is very controlling and is constantly trying to tell her what to do. This has particularly caused a problem lately because Jasmine has her first boyfriend, Davian. Davian is one of the more social guys at her high school. He is in the 10th grade, but he has been retained twice so he is 17 years old. He is constantly surrounded by his peers, particularly other girls. Davian is used to getting his way and can be somewhat forceful in their relationship. Teachers have talked to him on several occasions about being too aggressive with Jasmine (ie., grabbing her in the halfway or yelling at her when he is angry). Jasmine is tired her issues at home and school, but sometimes her relationship stresses her out too. She feels the need to be a “ride or die chick” for Davian, but she sometimes wants to talk to the school guidance counselor about all the issues she experiences with him.

Bad news memo final draft
Bad News Memo The Problem and Your Solution
This assignment is intended to give you some insight into how you would begin to solve a particular issue in your professional field. This knowledge will be useful to you in job interviews, in considering career options, and in other professional applications. The work you do on this memo will continue to prepare you for choosing a topic for your final problem/solution proposal, and youll be able to start considering the larger picture of your intended profession.
From your Issues Memo, you have researched different problems that currently plague your intended profession. I want you to narrow down your focus for this next assignment and think about how you would handle a specific problem within the workplace.
Task
Identify the problem (please make it something manageable do not choose a problem that has absolutely no solution or would take the power of Congress to help solve) and consider how you would deliver the message to employees and volunteers of your workplace.
For example, if you are looking into the problem of patient complaints and law suits, due primarily to impersonal nursing staff, in a private hospital, you may want to implement a new policy that bans cell phones and requires a workshop for all nurses and hospital staff during working hours (this scenario is an example and you are not required to adopt it!).
How would you deliver the information via memo about these new policies?
How would you convince the employees and staff and these new policies are important to the success of the workplace?
Audience and Purpose
While the memo will deliver what will probably be regarded as bad news (few people like change, especially if it calls into question the efficiency of employees), it must still be persuasive part of your audience has the added level of complication that they are volunteersmake them mad, and they may go away. So the task ask at hand is to announce the policy, yesbut more importantly, persuade the readers to agree and go along with it.
The tone and style of the memo should befit the director of an organization, and reflect his/her personamany directors or people in charge exude a direct and firm demeanor, not a warm and fuzzy, hand-holding sensitivity. Think about your tone, style, word-choice, vocabulary, and audience as you write and as you revise. The memo should also follow the guidelines outlined in your text, be single-spaced, error-free, and carefully proofed before submission.
