Describe how you would communicate to Ashok and the rest of the team about Ashok’s injury

Several issues have arisen on the Global Treps Project. Ashok, your team member in India, broke his wrist playing tennis yesterday and cannot work on the project at all for three weeks. His work, which involves helping to edit the videos, starts in one week, so you need to reassign it to others.

Bobby suggests you use Kanban boards to list all of the tasks for editing the videos and to track where they are in the workflow. Bobby, a techie and not known for being a good communicator, is the only person who’s ever used Kanban boards. You have not yet broken down the tasks into much detail and need more information from Angela, the contractor in charge of creating the videos.

Alfreda is having difficulties communicating with her main contact in Ethiopia, Dr. B. He is very busy all the time and does not use texting, Alfreda’s preferred communications medium. He has also not communicated key information with students who could be candidates for their event, which is only a month away. Alfreda is not sure if he booked a room for the event yet.

Describe how you would communicate to Ashok and the rest of the team about Ashok’s injury. What actions would you take? What communications medium would you use with different stakeholders?
Prepare a partial communications management plan to address some of the challenges mentioned in Part 7 of the case.
Research free, online tools for using Kanban boards and choose one to use. Prepare a list of at least ten tasks that would be done in editing the videos and enter them into your tool of choice.
Write a one-page paper describing options for communicating with Dr. B. and making sure students at his university get information about your event

Was this conflict functional or dysfunctional?

For the Module 3 SLP you will be applying the concepts you learned in the background materials regarding conflict and negotiation to a situation from your own personal experiences. Carefully review the background materials regarding types of conflict, causes of conflict, negotiation stages, and conflict management styles. It is important to first understand these comments from the background readings before starting this assignment.

Once you have thoroughly reviewed the background materials, think of a situation in the workplace where a conflict erupted and management had to intervene and some type of negotiation was involved. Then write a three page paper addressing the following four questions, and make sure to cite at least one of the required background readings for each of your four answers :

Was this conflict functional or dysfunctional?
What was the cause of the conflict? Use the terms from the background materials in your answer—for example, was the conflict a result of interpersonal issues, a specific task involved, due to inter-organizational issues, etc.
Of the five approaches to conflict management outlined in Shearouse (2011) or Bauer and Erdogan (2011), which approach most closely describes the approach used by management to resolve this conflict?
Did the negotiations involve integrative or distributive bargaining? What stages of negotiation did management go through, and did these stages match the five stages discussed in Bauer and Erdogan (2011)?

Strategic Alignment
The project assignment provides a forum for analyzing and evaluating relevant topics of this week on the basis of the course competencies covered.

Introduction:
Healthcare leaders will be faced with opportunities, more than ever, to strategically align their marketing initiatives. This is a result of entrants in the market—increasing competition, healthcare services and medical interventions growing scarce, and heightened scrutiny to change unhealthy behaviors. As a result, unique strategic initiatives for demarketing, a germinal concept originally introduced by Kotler and Levy (1971), is expected to resurface.

In this assignment, you will analyze the concept of demarketing and its implications in the healthcare field. Likewise, you will select one demarketing initiative and elaborate on its potential implications for success.

Please review the following and using specific information, from these resources, your course resource, and additional research, address the tasks posed below:

Tasks:
Define demarketing and discuss its implications in healthcare.
Discuss the three primary concepts of demarketing.
Mention when healthcare organizations face opportunities to utilize demarketing strategies.
Mention some demarketing tactics are commonly used by healthcare organizations. How do these organizations reduce the total demand and the selective demand?
Discuss the specific dangers associated with the demarketing approach in the healthcare market.
Select one of the following topics and elaborate on potential demarketing opportunities relevant to current market trends. Be sure to address the current demand for demarketing your selection and its relevance to the healthcare community.

Personal Change Tools (100 points)

Organizational change is a process that can be complex. Change efforts are not easily carried out but can be successful through the use of various resources and tools. As explored within the Interactive Lecture, change often starts with knowing what to change, continues through how to change, and then concludes with when to change.It is important to remember that the same change processes that guide organizations can also be used in one’s personal life.For this Critical Thinking Assignment, address the components below:

Think about a major change that you experienced within the past five years. Explain details about this change, specifically focusing on the reason for the change and the importance of the change in your life.
Explain which change model (i.e., Nadler and Tushman’s Congruence Model, Sterman’s Systems Dynamics Model, Quinn’s Competing Values Model, Greiner’s Model of Organizational Growth, or Stacey’s Complexity Theory) most applied to your change experience. Provide details about why you selected this model and why it was the best choice as compared to the other models.
Analyze the steps associated with the model and how these steps were followed during your time of change.
Looking back on the change process and experience, what improvements would you make to ensure enhanced change-related success? Why?

Develop a process to evaluate the intervention if it were implemented.

Review your strategic plan to implement the change proposal, the objectives, the outcomes, and listed resources. Develop a process to evaluate the intervention if it were implemented. Write a 150-250 word summary of the evaluation plan that will be used to evaluate your intervention.

The assignment will be used to develop a written implementation plan.

APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Reviewing the concepts of ethnic conflict and totalitarianism:

Often students are confused on what constitutes an ethnic conflict. Before you select a topic for this assignment, be sure to review the information below to gain a better understanding of what constitutes Totalitarianism and ethnic conflict.

Totalitarianism and ethnic conflict are not the same as violent act committed by a police officer that was officially deemed as being racially motivated. Ethnic conflict is when government has discriminatory policies in place. Slavery and segregation were examples of ethnic conflict. Many students confuse recent events of violence or shooting by police officers on individuals as examples of ethnic conflict. However, not all of those actions were acts of racially motivated violence. In addition, they were committed by individuals in the execution of their job, which are subject to review and oversight (administrative and legal), and if deemed excessive and/or racially motivated, will be sanctioned and prosecuted because they would go against standing policies and laws that do not allow excessive force in the execution of police duties or racially motivated violence against others (by police or any other person). In the 1960s and earlier, we had state governments requiring African Americans to be segregated. This was an example of ethnic conflict. We do not have government policy in this country today promoting the harassment or killing of people because of their race.

If a person kills another person, it is a legal issue. If the killing took place because of the race of the person, it is also a hate crime. It is not designated as ethnic conflict. Topics centered on racial inequity such as Black Lives Matter, while important and viable topics in the context of race relations and social justice, are not the same as ethnic conflict in Totalitarian regimes and so are not appropriate topics for this assignment.

Instructions
Write a paper on a current event article that discusses restrictions on freedoms by a totalitarian state or an article on ethnic conflict within a nation. Summarize the article and explain why this issue is important to the global community. What outside influences might help change this issue? How? Is the article neutral? Why or why not?

MY NOTES
[case study/assignment notes ]
[assignment guidelines ]
· Assessment tools be clear on the (assessment guidelines that I am following)
