The Project (13–21 pages, not including references)
Question 1
Arrow Furniture is a family-owned and operated manufacturer of high-end furniture located in North Carolina. The furniture industry has suffered from foreign competition over recent years. Nationwide, there have been massive layoffs and several large companies have closed. Arrow’s workers are feeling these pressures and have begun displaying counterproductive behaviors. The HR manager recently told Mary Baker, the family member serving as CEO, that employees are threatening to unionize if they don’t get higher pay and more job security. Mary is upset by this comment because the family has supported employees with decent salaries and health benefits. Higher wages are the last thing the company needs if they are to remain competitive.
The Baker family wants to turn things around. They know they will have to be more competitive price-wise. This might be achieved by finding cheaper suppliers, lowering employee labor costs, or increasing productivity. That said, the Baker’s strongly believe that it is important to “take care of their people,” many of whom are lifelong employees.
A global car manufacturer is going to open a new facility in the community. It is likely the company will offer higher salaries and better benefits than offered by Arrow Furniture. The firm is known to offer such benefits in an attempt to reduce the need for a union. Jobs at this plant will be more technically advanced than those at Arrow and the company is offering job training to those who are interested.
The Bakers are aware that the nature of work at Arrow results in moderate levels of hygiene factors and low motivators.
Using the 3-Step Problem-Solving Approach and the Organizing Framework, what should the Bakers do to motivate their employees and get support for the company’s future plans?

Topics: Choose one topic from the list below. You can choose to explore a narrow issue relative to that topic – for example – if you choose diversity and inclusion, you may be interested in best practices in recruiting women into roles in technology. Before starting your research, it may help to have a question in mind that you would like to answer – like – “I know companies are moving away from traditional performance reviews. Why is that and what are they replacing them with?” I’d love to know the question you are trying to answer at the start of your paper. It would be helpful to choose a topic that would apply to the organization you work ( SECURITY OFFICER) because assignment 2 will ask you to apply the best practices you learned about to your own organization!

2. Detailed – you use data from solid sources to answer the question you posed at the beginning and outline current, relevant best practices in your topic area.
3. Thoughtful – you don’t just present information, but you analyze it and advocate for a best practice or set of best practices and provide sound reasoning for your position.
Week 4 Discussion 1
Geodemographic Segmentation: Finding Your People
Geodemographics is a common and effective means to segment potential customers. Leveraging both demographic (e.g., gender, age, income, marital status) and psychographic (e.g., habits, hobbies, spending habits, values) data, households can be classified into segments, and the relative attractiveness of these segments for your product or service can be determined.
In this discussion forum, you’re going to take the geodemographic system Claritas (Links to an external site.) and determine which segment best describes you. Then, exploring map data, you’ll assess how common your segment is for where you live and where you could live among more people like yourself! Finally, with knowledge of your segment’s profile, you’re going to suggest a promotion for your internship brand targeted specifically to your segment.
Initially, the concept of leadership focused on an individual who organized a group of people to achieve a goal. Today, however, leadership is depicted in a different way. The field focuses not only on an individual leader, but also on members, supervisors, and followers representing a spectrum of diversity. During the evolution of leadership, several theories, models, and perspectives have emerged. As a human and social services professional, it is important to consider how different theories, models, and perspectives of leadership might be used to achieve professional and societal goals.
To prepare:
With these thoughts in mind:
Post a brief description of your professional or societal issue and the leadership theory, model, or perspective you selected. Then, explain why you chose that theory, model, or perspective, and explain how it might be applied to your issue. Be specific, and use processes of that theory, model, or perspective to illustrate your point.
Although related, social change and advocacy differ in important ways. Each brings with it a particular perspective that has implications for the actions you might take toward resolving professional and societal issues and, therefore, the results that would ensue from these actions.
To prepare:
With these thoughts in mind:
Post your perspective on the distinctions between social change and advocacy. Discuss the implications of these distinctions and differences. Then, explain the actions that you might take from both social change and advocacy perspectives to address the primary issues related to the strategic plan you will develop, as well as the potential results.
Due Thursday, 9/17/20 at noon, (12pm Dallas time) for the readings The Definitive Guide to Recruiting in Good Times and Bad and The Risky Business of Hiring Stars. Provide me with a brief synopsis (short cumulative review) of the articles and then address this issue: in The Risky Business of Hiring Stars, one of the conclusions is that if you are contemplating hiring a star, make sure they fit the organization. How would the ideas presented in The Definitive Guide to Recruiting in Good Times and Bad help us achieve this “fit?”

Complete an information system analysis for your organization or select a fortune 500 company (i.e. Amazon, Google, or Coca Cola). Be sure to identify the supply chain and logistics systems, while describing the interaction of supply chain information being available throughout the organization (real-time, accurate, and is the information trusted). Lastly, discuss how the information is shared. Are value-created activities the result of your organization’s supply chain information systems?
