What key terms or experiences would you include in your resume, cover letter, or interview to showcase your relevant knowledge and skills related to the job posting?

When taking courses (or any other kind of professional development experience), it is important to think about how your new knowledge and skills can be applied to your career. Similarly, it is very important to consider what jobs this experience may help you get, and how to show off your newly acquired expertise. In this discussion, you will collaborate with peers to share observations, suggestions, and helpful tips related to job searching.

First, take some time to explore a few job postings for your ideal career. The following websites may be helpful to use:

As you explore, take note of key terms, requirements, preferences, and skills that are listed that relate to knowledge and skills covered in this course. Then, for your initial post briefly address the following questions:

  • What is your ideal career, and what about it interests you?
  • When exploring job postings related to your ideal career, what knowledge and skills were listed that directly relate to this course?
  • What key terms or experiences would you include in your resume, cover letter, or interview to showcase your relevant knowledge and skills related to the job posting?
  • Were there certain modules, topics, or skills from this course that you feel were especially relevant for your ideal career?
who is liable? And to whom?

Abby is a 27-year-old teacher who wants to change careers and it has always been her desire to own a florist’s shop. She goes to see Craig, her local banker, and they discuss the necessary business matters. Since Abby is relatively inexperienced, she depends on Craig to give her lots of advice—he talks to her about her business organization, capitalization, insurance, etc. This necessarily involves lots of time together and one thing leads to another, and they begin to date. Love has bloomed.

Meanwhile, plans for the business progress. Abby leases a very cute former gas station on a yearly basis. She borrows a total of $50,000 from Craig’s bank and uses the money to set up inventory, secure insurance, etc. Throughout the process, she and Craig talk constantly about all aspects of the shop—he loves roses and wants her to traffic exclusively in that flower. Sometimes these meetings take place during the workday and some after 5 or on Saturdays at the shop. Craig is also present sometimes when she meets with vendors or potential clients.

Abby rents the gas station from the estate of Linda Heart. Linda had inherited the gas station from her father, who ran the gas station in the 1950’s. The station had been closed since 1960, and Linda had forgotten about it. When Linda’s obituary appeared in the local paper, Abby approached the estate about leasing the property and the deal was struck. The lease provides that Abby can rent the property with an option to buy for the year that the attorneys figure it will take to get the estate fully squared away. After that, Abby will have to buy the property or find a new site.

Abby’s Floral Expressions opens in January 2005, and business is booming. A few problems arise, however—Abby has not made the appropriate arrangements for waste hauling, so for the first few weeks of business, she empties the dead flowers and the water used for the flowers out the back door. The water contains small amounts of commercial fertilizer. Also, since Abby has not really gotten her delivery bugs completely ironed out, she has fertilizer delivered by UPS three days a week in a package from Emma’s Fertilizer.

Business is booming but love has faded. Shortly after the shop really gets going, Craig and Abby break up in a very acrimonious manner.

The worst is yet to come. Kathy, Abby’s next door neighbor and a part-time environmental activist, is distraught that a commercial establishment has opened next to her. She has a condition that makes her hypersensitive to any chemicals and had moved to that quiet neighborhood to get away from any pollutants, etc. One day, she sees Abby dumping dead flowers and water they were in out her back door. She breaks out in hives and quickly calls the EPA and reports that Abby is dumping toxic waste. She also consults her lawyer to see if she has any rights personally.

Unlike many governmental agencies, the EPA is right on the spot within hours! In examining the backyard to see where the flower water was dumped, the inspector pokes down into the ground with a probe. Low and behold, he hears a hollow thump and when the EPA further investigates, they find that there was a gas tank under the building that had been improperly capped in the 50’s, and that gas has been leaking into the ground for the last 40 years. Abby had no idea, nor did Linda’s estate lawyers–after all this time, they have no records to indicate when or who capped the tank.

Every team has the same question—who is liable? And to whom? Your group decisions should contain carefully reasoned legal arguments.

What is one thing we could do to improve on this strategy?

Week 1 Discussion (GRADED)
Must post first.
Instructions:
Please refer to the Discussion Grading Rubric before starting the assignment. Be certain to read the case scenario carefully. Be careful to address each question posed. Include APA formatted in-text citations and a reference list. (In this class, all applicable citations should contain the page or paragraph numbers. The only exceptions are videos or podcasts.)
Use the lettering system indicated below in your memo. Your answers should be listed in sections labeled “A” through “D.”
CASE SCENARIO – PAUL’S DISCOUNT TIRES & REPAIRS BUSINESS STRATEGIC PLAN
It’s a Friday at 4:00, and you are looking at the clock – it’s been a tough week at Paul’s Discount Tires & Repairs business, and the week is not over! The global COVID Pandemic has hit the business hard, and you saw several people working there laid off this week. You feel lucky to be still working as their business consultant!
The business is family-owned and has been in business for over 21 years. The founder of the company, Paul Wilford, started the company as a small tire shop then expanded into service repairs. Now Paul’s grandson, Steve Wilford, runs the company, which has grown to several million in annual revenues over the past couple of years. 
Steve Wilford stops by your cubicle. He looks worried and worn out from the long workday. Despite that, he greets you warmly.
“You are taking a course in Strategic Management right now, aren’t you?” Steve asks you.
You reply yes.
“Well, that is great timing,” says Steve, “because I just drafted a 10-year strategy for our business! If I get you a copy, would you mind looking it over during the weekend and giving me your thoughts?”
You tell Steve that you’d be happy to give your input. Within 5 minutes, a one-page document is on your desk. At the top of the page is written “Paul’s Discount Tires & Repairs Strategic Plan.” You start to read it in your remote work office at home.
The basics of the plan are highlighted with the following three (3) bullet points:
Paul’s Discount Tires & Repairs core business will continue providing tires and minor vehicle repair services to our retail customers over the next ten years.
Paul’s Discount Tires & Repairs will beat its competitors by providing the lowest price discount tires, vehicle repairs, exceptional customer service, and quality work.
Paul’s Discount Tires & Repairs culture is rooted in its 21-year history. Paul’s will overcome the setbacks caused by the COVID Pandemic by sticking to its core values and cutting costs wherever necessary. Our people will help get us through these tough times.
You look at the bottom of the page and see a post-it note with questions posed to you by Steve.
What is wrong with this strategy?
What is right about this strategy?
We are the market leader in discount tires and repairs in our city, indicating that we currently have a competitive advantage. Will we sustain it with this strategy?
What is one thing we could do to improve on this strategy?
Directions for Initial Posting:
Write a memo to Steve answering these four questions. Your memo should outline all four questions, and the answers to all four questions should be supported by course materials.

Class:  Please replace the following Week 1 course material link:  
What is Strategy? It’s a Lot Simpler Than You Think

Respectfully
Other Writing Guidelines for this Discussion:
Use the grading rubric while completing the project to ensure all requirements are met to lead to the highest possible grade.  
This is a business memo to Steve Wilford, who runs Paul’s Discount Tires & Repairs. Ensure your memo answers all 4 questions and that your writing is concise. There is a balance between providing a robust answer and writing succinctly and to the point.
Third-person writing is required.  The third person means no words such as “I, me, my, we, or us” (first-person writing).
Contractions are not often used in business writing, so do not use them here. 
Paraphrase – do not use direct quotation marks. This means that you will put the ideas of an author or article into your own words rather than lift them directly from a source document. You may not use more than four consecutive words from a source document (including the case scenario) or change words in a passage as doing so would require direct quotation marks. Use a passage from a source document by putting it into your own words (paraphrase) and attribute the passage to the source document.  Changing words from a passage does not exclude the passage from having to have quotation marks. If direct quotes are presented, they will not be included in the grading.
 Use in-text citations and provide a reference list that contains a reference associated with each in-text citation. 
Only course materials (from this course’s content) may be used. Sources other than this course’s ebook or the course materials listed under content will not be considered sources of support.
Provide the page or paragraph number in every in-text citation presented.  Refer to this link for more guidance on how to do this:
In-Text Citations – Including Page or Paragraph Numbers

Was there an existing contract or reasonable expectations of economic benefit or advantage between Aromatic Farms and Moonshine Coffeehouse Inc.?

Tortious Interference with a Contract

Tortious Interference with a contract happens when a third party influences one of the parties to a contract to breach the contract. Tortious Interference only applies when a written contract between two or more parties is interfered with by a non-party to the contract.

Study the following two cases that demonstrate how courts analyze Tortious Interference. The two cases should be incorporated in your analysis of the case study assignment. Failure to do so will impact your grade. The below cases are useful examples and provide critical language that analyzes and applies the Tortious Interference Rule of Law:

https://law.justia.com/cases/massachusetts/supreme-court/1990/406-mass-811-3.html

Please follow these steps to complete this assignment:

  1. Download the IRAC Worksheet
  2. Read the case carefully.
  3. Answer the questions listed after the case.
  4. Use the IRAC Worksheet form as your guide in analyzing the case

Moonshine Coffeehouse Inc. and Aromatic Farms have a longstanding exclusive contract to produce and deliver their “Triple-A” moonshine-infused coffee beans.

The Moonshine Coffeehouse Inc. and Aromatic Farms contract requires delivery of all beans foreign and domestic produced on Aromatic Farms to Moonshine’s distribution warehouses for processing and redelivery to Moonshines Coffeehouses. The parties agree that the price per pallet will be $3000 with a guarantee of 4,000 pallets minimum. MJGreen House, Inc., a competitor of Aromatic, approaches Moonshine and informs Moonshine that Aromatic is undercutting Moonshine by withholding 10% of Aromatic’s worldwide coffee bean production for sale to Moonshine’s competitor coffeehouse Star Tracks Inc. for $2000 per pallet.

As a result of this information, Moonshine Coffeehouse Inc. cancels the Aromatic contract refusing to purchase any additional pallets from Aromatic. Moonshine Coffeehouse Inc. enters into a new agreement with MJGreen House, Inc., agreeing to purchase the exact quantities of beans from MJGreen House, Inc.

  1. What are the issues in this case?
  2. What is the applicable Rule of law under these facts?
  3. Would Aromatic have the Standing to sue MJGreen House, Inc for Tortious Interference with the contract because MJGreen’s actions persuaded Moonshine to breach the Aromatic contract?
  4. Would it make a difference if the information were true?
  5. What if the statement by MJGreen House, Inc., were false any different outcome?
  6. What would Aromatic have to prove to be able to establish a prima facie case for Tortious Interference and hold MJGreen liable for Tortious Interference with the contract?
  7. Was there an existing contract or reasonable expectations of economic benefit or advantage between Aromatic Farms and Moonshine Coffeehouse Inc.?
  8. What would Defendant MJGreen House, Inc., have to have known to be guilty of breach of contract to establish Tortious Interference?
  9. What losses can Aromatic Farms claim?
  10. What facts confirm that MJGreen House, Inc. knew about Aromatic Farms’ contract with Moonshine Coffeehouse Inc.?

explain how each quality perspective applies to the product or service:

Prior to beginning work on this final paper, read Chapters 10, 11, and 12 in the course textbook. It is recommended to review Chapters 1, 2, and 3, too.

For this final paper, you will be reviewing and reflecting on the quality management concepts and knowledge gained throughout the course. You will be applying your critical thinking, drawing your own conclusions, and applying what you have learned to improve quality and performance excellence. Follow the prompts below and make sure to address each in sufficient depth to answer the questions and cover the associated concepts. This will serve as a good review of the content, methods, and principles learned of total quality management (TQM). 

As you work on your final paper, keep in mind the following bullet point observations on the role of quality.

  • Six quality perspectives are listed below and explain how each quality perspective applies to the product or service:
    • Quality in manufacturing.
    • Quality in service organizations.
    • Quality in business support functions.
    • The role of the quality function.
    • Quality and competitive advantage (business results).
    • Quality and personal values.
  • Modern day quality management practices represent the approaches that organizations use to achieve the quality management principles.
  • Customer satisfaction is vital to keeping customers and growing a business.
    • Customer requirements, as expressed in the customer’s own terms, are called the voice of the customer.
  • Organizations continue to learn that to satisfy customers, they must first satisfy the workforce. (Review Chapter 4, specifically Table 4.1: Key Workforce-Focused Practices for Quality, and the two Chapter 4 sections: High-Performance Work Cultures, and Principles of Workforce Engagement and Motivation.)
  • Motivation theories can be applied to support high performance in any organization.

In your paper,

  • Explain how your selected organization applies the six steps from key customer-focused practices for quality management in the customer focus to meet or exceed customer requirements.
  • Identify which of the variety of methods, or “listening posts,” your selected organization uses to gather the voice of the customer, including their needs and expectations, their feeling of importance, and their satisfaction as a customer.
  • Evaluate the principles of workforce engagement, and empowerment and motivation, and evaluate why these two items are important to quality, and which five of Deming’s 14 points relate directly to the notion of empowerment.
  • Apply one content theory, one process theory, and one environmentally-based theory to your selected organization, detailing the context and situation.
  • State if the selected organization has a high-performance work culture and describe why or why not.
  • Summarize how your selected organization embodies the Baldrige Award Excellence Framework, core values, and processes.
  • Assess the impact, if any, of the Baldrige Award Excellence Framework and the Deming philosophy on the organization.
  • Select a product or service that your organization, or an organization of your choosing, purchases on a regular basis:
    • Explain why quality is important to that product or service.
    • Evaluate the competitive environment for the product or service selected.
    • Appraise how each quality perspective applies to the selected product or service and why.
    • Illustrate how each of the seven quality management principles pertain to your organization or an organization of your choosing using three approaches per principle.
    • Appraise how the Deming philosophy and Deming’s 14 points may apply to the product or service selected.
