Provide a paragraph summarizing the concept of stakeholder management based on your readings
Assignment Instructions:
In this assignment you will be asked to apply stakeholder management theory to the following scenario:
A public corporation of 980 employees manufactures a popular brand of garments (mostly jeans) that are primarily made and sold in America nation-wide. It has a large contingent of employees in several small rural communities in the Eastern US and is the primary employer in all of those communities. Two if its 5 shops are unionized but the union and management have a good working relationship. The company has traditionally marketed its clothing line as Made in the USA and attracted a bit of a cult like following as a result, but an outside consulting firm has suggested that significantly greater profits are possible if a different strategy is employed. The corporation is subsequently considering whether to off-shore its manufacturing facilities to a poor nation to save money on labor. It would also discretely discontinue its Made in the USA marketing ads and hopefully ride the wave of its previous marketing campaigns for a while. It is estimated that total cost per unit of production will be decreased by one third which equates to tens of millions of dollars.
Please write a 3-page paper in which you respond to the following:
1. Provide a paragraph summarizing the concept of stakeholder management based on your readings.
2. How do you think the following stakeholder groups in the above scenario will be impacted?
· Employees/unions
· Communities
· Stockholders
3. What would you recommend the employer described above should do?
research and document the strategic plan of one domestic or overseas sports organisation
Details
You must research and document the strategic plan of one domestic or overseas sports organisation (the size of the organisations does not matter, but it must be legitimate and properly functioning in 2021).
Each student will be required to provide an overview of the organisation (history, incorporation, expansion etc) and, following an introduction to management, committees, planning etc, an assessment of its mission and objectives for 2021 and beyond. A focus should also be on how the chosen organisation is working on initiatives to enhance the quality of its sports development and delivery
Select a policy or piece of legislation that directly impacts your current or future profession
Reflect: The U.S. governments expansive role in public policy is caught in a swirl of conflicting crosscurrents. On the one hand, popular expectations about governments responsibility to solve problems often exceed the capacity of state and local authorities to respond effectively. On the other hand, policies developed at the national level may not sufficiently reflect the great diversity of interests across the U.S. to be effective at the local level. Moreover, the search for effective policy is further complicated by theoretical debates about the constitutional framework of federalism, that is, what limits on national power can be derived from the Tenth Amendment?
Write: Select a policy or piece of legislation that directly impacts your current or future profession (i.e., your major). In your initial post, identify your profession or future profession, define federalism, and then select a specific piece of legislation (Click here for examples) that will directly impact it. Discuss the federalism challenges that the policy you have selected is creating or facing. For example:
If you are an education major, how are local, state, and federal government policies affected by the Every Student Succeeds Actor some other piece of education-related legislation?
If you are a criminal justice major, how does recent legalization of marijuana in some states affect local, state, and federal marijuana laws?
If you are a business major, how does the insurance mandate in the Affordable Care Act affect local, state, and national businesses and their employees?
If you are a political science major, how has the recent Citizens United ruling affected the amount of money available for campaigns at the local, state, or federal levels?
Fully respond to all parts of the prompt and write your response in your own words. Your initial must be at least 300 words. Support your position with at least two of the assigned resources required for this discussion, and/or peer reviewed scholarly sources obtained through the AU Library databases. Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite them properly in-text and in a references list at the end of the post
Briefly describe your Doctoral Studys theoretical/conceptual framework, including use of deductive or inductive reasoning
The Importance of Theoretical/Conceptual Framework in Research
In research, there are two major forms of reasoning that guide quantitative and qualitative research: deductive and inductive.
These major forms of reasoning play a crucial role in the development of theoretical and conceptual frameworks, as well as effective research studies. Your work this week will contribute to your submission of a Draft Doctoral Study Prospectus in Week 7.
To prepare for this Discussion
Consider the differences between these frameworks and their impact on your work in developing your Doctoral Study.
Be sure to review page 16 of the DBA Prospectus Guide, Section 1.10 of the Doctoral Study Rubric and Research Handbook, as well as the video on theoretical and conceptual frameworks.
Post an analysis of the role of theoretical/conceptual frameworks in your Doctoral Study research. Your analysis should include the following:
Briefly describe your Doctoral Studys theoretical/conceptual framework, including use of deductive or inductive reasoning.
Explain how this framework applies to your specific study, including relevant and supportive examples.
Be sure to support your work with a minimum of two specific citations from this weeks Learning Resources and at least one additional scholarly source
