Competencies

In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies:

Manage stakeholder relationships to sustain a competitive advantage
Align and integrate a short-term goal with a strategic plan
Create a change management strategy

Scenario

You are a business development manager reporting to the vice president (VP) of business development at one of the largest life sciences organizations in the Midwest. While the organization has shown constant growth and profitability since its inception in 1999, the owners have decided that it is time to sell. Given the current uncertainty in global markets, the organization’s board of directors is not convinced that this is the right approach.

While work was underway to find a potential buyer, the VP called on you to join the strategic planning team to assess the organization’s exit strategy and make recommendations to its board of directors. You have been working closely with your strategic planning team to make some initial analyses and recommendations to help plan for the sale of the organization.

As part of the planning team, your first task was to select people from your organization to build a guiding coalition to help the organization transition during and after the acquisition.

Then, you were asked to analyze one of the organization’s core strengths, its talented pool of employees. This included analyzing the attrition data to understand why employees have left the organization and recommending ways to ensure employee stability in the future. This essential information will be provided to potential acquirers to assure them of the organization’s ability to retain talent.

While planning was underway, your first potential buyer started to get cold feet. So, you were asked to research an alternative buyer and build a contingency plan. This contingency plan is an important part of your exit strategy and your report to the board of directors. You and your team were also asked to formulate an acquisition road map that lays out the action steps and timelines for the plan.

Now that the initial analysis and plans are complete, your VP is ready to make the presentation to the board of directors. The VP has asked you to prepare a formal report that you will send to the board prior to the presentation. This report will include the analyses and plans you have developed over the last few weeks. It is important to note that your report will provide a first impression to the board about the upcoming presentation and meeting. You need to craft a compelling message that provides insights based on all the work your team has done and substantiates your position with data. In addition, as a part of your report, you will also outline a change management strategy that will help ensure a smoother transition after the sale of the organization.

Directions

Write a merger integration report that includes your analyses and insights and provides a change management strategy for moving forward toward a sale of the organization in the course scenario. Compile your work from Milestones One, Two, and Three in your report. Remember to address and incorporate any feedback you may have received from your instructor on your milestone assignments.

Assignment 2

Instructions Your response should be between 375 – 500 words and Times New Roman 12 point font, include a cover page, and a reference page. The Cover page should include:

Reema is one of the best students in your 3rd-grade class. She is very polite, kind, and helpful to others. Recently, you have noticed that she is always tired and showing signs of carelessness. As a result, her performance in your class is suffering. You have not seen any signs of physical abuse on her body.

Last week, she was rude and did not follow your directions. You spoke to her alone. Few days later, she again repeated the behavior and did not complete her assignments. This time, you told her that you have to call her home. She started to cry and said, “Please do not call home, I will do anything you tell me to do. I will put the chairs back, I will pick up all supplies, and sweep the floor. Please, please do not call my parents.” As a new teacher, you have never experienced a student behaving in such a manner.

You met with the school counselor and found out that Reema’s dad is very sick and her family is going through hardship. She has two younger siblings and her mom is working two jobs to support the family. You would like to help Reema.

First, teacher-parent conferences are scheduled 10 days from today. Her parents have signed up to meet with you. What steps would you take in the next 10 days to monitor Reema’s behavior and why? How will you show her that you care and want to help her? What information will you provide to her parents (mom)? Please support your response from readings and videos (cite using APA format).

State guidelines for disciplining students with disabilities.

Assignment 1

Students will be required to research their state’s education law. This project will be divided between two modules of this course. Each part of this research project will include categories that must be researched and summarized in one page per category.

Investigating Education Law in Your State: Michigan is my state

As mentioned in chapter 1, education is primarily a matter left to the states. To gain a thorough knowledge of special education law and education law, therefore, students should investigate their state’s laws, regulations, rules, and guidelines that implement the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, No Child Left Behind/Every Student Succeed Act, and other education-related matters. This information can be found on websites of state departments of education and state law and regulation sections in law libraries. Investigating laws in your state is an important way for students to gain a complete understanding of education law.

Research Categories: (Each category must be summarized in one page per category using APA format.)

· State requirements regarding the Individualized Education Programs.

· State guidelines for disciplining students with disabilities.

Explain using APA format (include a title page, in-text citation from the IRIS module, and a reference page). You can find more guidance on using APA format in the APA Format folder. All assignments that are not in APA format will be subjected to point deductions.
