my topic  Nestle Killing for Profit??? and i need to do Both (compare/contrast) 

 

The group project is aimed at the process of management and its functions in real organizations and the legal, moral, and ethical dilemmas we face as individuals and in our roles as part of the managerial process.  Students will be divided into teams of three and provided a topic to work on but they will be working against each other.  Each student will take either a “pro” or “con” side to a topic taken from business, government, or education. Further, each situation will be fraught with ethical considerations and ramifications.  As individuals, each team member will search, discuss, analyze, and report information back to their classmates and course instructor with slide presentations they will post in the Discussion Board.

Again, each student will be provided with a topic to be handled by teams of three. Each team member will be presenting opposing arguments, one for and one against that topic, the third will play both roles. The point is that as managers, clarity of thought influences not only the quality of their life but all those who work for them.  As decision-makers, managers often need to be willing to take a position and try to influence others to make a decision that they try to promote.  To be effective, they should be willing and able to describe their rationale for the choice they made.  

After a topic is assigned, students will develop PowerPoint slides to support their position (20 slides max, not including references slides listing your sources). The rest of the teams will ask at least one question per team, but no more than three questions, so each person may clarify/defend their position. The exception is that you may not ask questions of your counterpart who is arguing the opposite side of your position.  Instructors will judge the quality of your presentation based on the criteria found in the rubric. Furthermore, the instructor may also question if they feel a position lacks merit. Additionally, instructors will look at the quality of your questions and answers to other students and at the end, a student’s rationale for choosing one side of an argument over the other.

The slides will be posted on the Discussion Board for everyone to view by the date listed on the course schedule.  All questions must be submitted to the Discussion Board and the answers posted by the scheduled dates as well.  Finally, after all the questions are in and the questions answered, each student will select the position for each topic that they feel is the better of the two and explain their rationale for that decision in the Discussion Board, again as per the course schedule.

The point of this exercise is to help each of you develop clarity of thought. Be advised that instructors may ask pointed questions from each student to determine whether the basis of a position is an opinion or rationally based ideas on these topics.  Just as with other assignments, facts, figures, and expertise, carry a lot more weight when arguing a position that does opinion alone.

Give the instructor and other students facts when arguing positions.  Facts, data, and analysis in addition to insight are all potent tools in any manager’s arsenal.  Finally, please note that some positions will be easier to argue than others when grading, instructors will take that into consideration as well.  So even if it seems the other side has an easier position to defend, instructors will compensate for that issue.

Generate a Plan to Enhance Personal Supervisory Skills

***Due Tomorrow before 9pm*** 

Begin this assignment by completing the Personal Assessment of Management Skills (PAMS). The Personal Assessment of Management Skills (PAMS) is a tool that will help you gauge your level of managerial skill competence. The PAMS include rating scales on sections regarding self-disclosure and openness to feedback as well as an awareness of your values, emotional intelligence, change orientation, and core self-evaluation. Overall you will create a profile of your leadership competence.

Then, share your PAMS assessment to at least three people who are familiar with your leadership qualities- a supervisor, colleagues, direct reports, etc. Ask those you select to reflect on your leaders’ skills and provide feedback that will help you to become a more effective manager. Include their feedback as you develop your Personal Development Plan to enhance your leadership capabilities.

Now, based on the results from your PAMS, feedback from selected individuals, and what you have studied in this course, create a Personal Development Plan to improve your leadership skills. The plan should include goals, objectives, timelines, and necessary resources.

Be sure to specify the following:

  • Techniques you will implement to motivate employees and lead change, even when some oppose the change.
  • An interpretation of your role in organizational planning.
  • A critique of your skills in supervising a diverse workforce, indicating goals for improvement.

Support your assignment with at least seven scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including seminal articles, may be included.

Length: 12-15 pages, not including title and reference pages. Include a copy of your completed assessment with your paper. It is not counted in the pages required.

Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards

Leadership Instructor ppt Presentation

Prepare a ppt presentation with 12-15 slides as if you were a leadership instructor. I need to document what the approach or theory is based on, how it is different than the others, and when it is best used. Consider the strengths and weaknesses of each one. Give examples of when each theory would work best. Consider different positions like a construction plant manager or a school principal or a nurse and explain what approach would work best for the different positions? The ppt needs to incorporate the five approaches to leadership (Trait, Skills, Behavioral,  Situational, and Path-goal) and explain when to use them.  Bullets on most slides, each page should include a note section with at least 150 words in addition to the slide. Cite work, quotes should be properly cited. No excessive quotes use own words.  

Format:

Introductory Slide – Include a short introduction of your agenda/topics.

Length – 12 – 15 slides the citation page. Make sure you have at least 150 words in the note section of each page.  Do not include any quotes in your notes.

Third-Party Logistics, Partnerships and In-House Services

While companies that serve local or regional markets may utilize in-house delivery resources, most businesses use third-party logistics (3PL) or engage in partnerships. Some of the larger players in online and omnichannel retail have acquired or built their own networks for B2C delivery and train workers for the future. Manufacturers and intermediary goods producers face a series of different obstacles in their B2B logistics in the domestic market. Readings for this assignment provide a broad perspective on today’s distribution channels.

  • Research the pros and cons of logistics delivery choices: from the perspective of cost, supply chain integration, and competitive advantage for Business to Business (B2B).
    This portion of the paper will be 1 page in length.
  • Research the pros and cons of logistics delivery choices from the perspective of cost and customer service for Business to Consumer (B2C).
    This portion of the paper will be 1 page in length.
  • Research the cost and logistical implications of last mile delivery. (Human resource and legal aspects of last mile delivery that were addressed in the Discussion should not be included.)
    This portion of the paper will be 1 page in length

Resources should be no more than three years old for this case because the industry is changing rapidly and the goal is to remain relevant throughout your career.
