Scenario
You have just been hired as a Project Manager for Kingston-Bryce Limited and have been assigned your first project. Kingston-Bryce Limited (KBL) is a custom furniture manufacturer that specializes in hand-crafted dining room tables. The Board of Directors has identified an opportunity to purchase a competitor that also specializes in custom furniture. The acquisition of the competitor will enable KBL to expand operations and triple their workforce and will take 18 months to complete. In order for this acquisition to be successful, you will need to use your project management skills to ensure success.
Instructions
Your first task is to create a project plan outline for the Board of Directors in Microsoft Word or Excel. You will need to create the timeline in Excel and copy that timeline into the Word Document. The project outline is essential for documenting all of the necessary tasks and milestones necessary to complete the project. The project is expected to take 18 months to complete, and the major milestones are broken up by quarters. You will need to be creative and develop the following items as if you were running the project.
Explain how the etic and emic perspectives describe your own religion or a religion with which you are familiar.
Option 2: Etic and Emic Views
In an essay, address the following:
Explain how the etic and emic perspectives describe your own religion or a religion with which you are familiar.
In etic, explain how an objective researcher would describe the religion including specific elements. In emic, explain how a practicing member would see the same reality.
Quote an “authoritative religious leader” from this religion as part of your emic paragraph, in addition to your scholarly source. (E.g., Buddhism-Dali Lama; Catholicism-Pope)
How does understanding this add to your understanding of your chosen religion?
What does it add to your approach to patient care?
Why do you think this was the film that was used as his ticket to the west, and what made it resonate?
1) Princess Mononoke was, according to various sources, the film that made Miyazaki famous in the west, and led to the American release of some of his other films. However, Miyazaki has been in the business since the mid-1960s. Why do you think this was the film that was used as his ticket to the west, and what made it resonate? (I’m especially interested in hearing from the Miyazaki fans among us.) Why this particular anime and not another?
2) To tie this discussion more closely to this week’s module, how would you compare the way religion is treated in Princess Mononoke, or other anime you’ve seen, compared to how it’s depicted in Western pop culture? What’s different and what’s the same?
Define the contrast principle, its value in the negotiation setting, and how it can contribute to a win-win outcome.
address all of the following critical elements:
- Define the contrast principle, its value in the negotiation setting, and how it can contribute to a win-win outcome.
- Using the contrast principle, outline two potential negotiating tactics that you would recommend Sharon Slade use in the negotiation meeting with Alice Jones. The gambits should help reach an integrative (win-win) outcome. Include examples to illustrate each gambit.

you will outline your view on the relationship between Christianity and psychology. Hopefully, reading how others have described the relationship and watching others talk about psychological phenomena as Christian scholars has helped you see how others are doing research as Christians in this field. You also have spent time thinking about what the science of psychology in your specific interest area looks like from a biblical worldview.
At the end of his book, Johnson (2010) states, “For the Christian, the science of psychology and the art of counseling are fundamentally religious enterprises, as is all of life” (p. 311).
In this discussion, please contemplate that quote by Johnson and comment on what that looks like for you going forward in your research area.
