 Go to one of your favorite stores and take a picture of something that catches your eye—the front entrance from the street, a display rack inside, a sign on the wall, etc. Upload the photo to the discussion thread and provide a summary of the following:

1. The products offered by the store you visited and why you like shopping there
2. What the photo shows us about the decisions the store has made regarding one or more of the 4 P’s
3. How these 4 P’s work together to keep you coming back again and again

Coaching Model

Preparation

For this assignment, consider the organization where you currently work or an organization where you may have worked in the past as a point of reference for evaluating the coaching model and team-based performance.

Note: You may create or make all the necessary assumptions needed for the completion of these assignments. In your original work, you may use aspects of existing processes from either your current or a former place of employment. However, you must remove any and all identifying information that would enable someone to discern the organizations that you have used.

Instructions

Write a 5–7 page paper in which you:

• Classify the selected organization’s approach to coaching as it relates to one of the following: Ad Hoc Coaching, Managing Coaching, Proactive Coaching, or Strategic Coaching. Judge the extent to which the identified coaching model has worked to optimize the organization’s performance management activities.
• Recommend three practices to improve the selected organization’s current performance from Table 4.3: Best Practices for Manager-Coaches in the textbook. Justify each element as it relates to optimizing performance.
• Construct five best practices that would maximize team-based performance in the selected organization. Specify the primary manner in which each practice aligns with the organization’s overall goals and vision.
• Use three external sources to support your responses. Note: Wikipedia and other websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Table 4.3:

 Best Practices for Manager-Coaches. 

1. Coaching relationship- Take time to explore what is important to the person you are coaching—his or her goals, values, and motivations. Communicate your desire to help the person develop and ask what kind of coaching he or she would like from you. Communicate the positive expectation that you believe in the person and his or her ability to learn and make significant progress on objectives. 

2. Insight- Clearly communicate expectations and success factors. Provide feedback and discuss performance relative to those expectations. Ask questions that help people reflect on their own behaviors, performance, and impact. 3. Motivation Help people clarify their goals and motivations related to work and to their own development. Identify specific personal and organizational benefits for development. 

4. Capabilities- Provide specific advice and guidance on how to improve performance and behavior. Encourage them to prepare development plans. Support training, stretch assignments, and provide opportunities for on-the-job learning. 

5. Real-world practice- Ask people what exactly they will to do to make progress on their development objectives, and where and when they plan to do it. Help them find or create opportunities that stretch their capabilities. 

6. Accountability- Hold regular (for example, monthly) conversations to gauge progress against development objectives. Ask people what they have learned recently and what they will do in the next month to continue learning.

 7. Organizational context-Ask people what organizational barriers are getting in their way and brainstorm ways they can work around them. Be a role model of learning by seeking feedback and coaching from others, sharing development priorities and progress openly, and talking about why development is important to you personally. 

Please respond to the following:

• Imagine that your organization has expanded into a new country requiring several employees to live there for the duration of their employment. Create one social and control function to assist the expatriate’s experience, and then suggest a systematic approach using one psychological function to share with future expatriates. Justify your response. Note: You may reference any country of your choice in your response.

Description: 

• Individual task. 

• You have to write an academic essay to answer the following question: 

– How can New Technologies enhance Service Management and competitiveness in the 21st Century companies?

 • Choose 3 companies and analyze and compare how are they using new technologies while answering the proposed question. 

• You are encouraged to use Tables to make the comparisons between the different companies.

Research problems can come from a variety of places. A topic can come up during a discussion with a colleague that motivates you to want to learn more about it. You may have a question for which you cannot find an answer, so you decide to conduct a research study in hopes of finding an answer. You may identify a particular gap in knowledge and be inclined to investigate that gap and close it with the results of a research study.

For this Discussion, consider how crafting a good research question is the cornerstone for designing robust studies that yield useable data. Review the Sessions episode on the Talia Johnson case. Locate two articles authored by the researcher David Lisak on the topics of the undetected rapist and predatory nature.

Post two potential research questions related to the Sessions episode. Consider potential ethical or political issues related to the feasibility of investigating the questions. Evaluate each question in terms of how it might:

1. Contribute to development of new knowledge for social work
2. Lead to more effective practice interventions
3. Lead to social change
4. Be useful to other researchers

Finally, explain the criteria you used to decide which sources of information should be included. Please use the resources to support your answer.
