Supporting Lectures:

Review the following lectures:

• Small vs. Large Organizations
• Innovation through Change

Introduction

Organizations can manage their day-to-day work with ease. It is what they know and what they do best. Change, however, is more difficult to manage and coordinate. Anytime you make a change to one aspect of running a business, you discover that you must also make changes elsewhere within the organization.

Tasks

• Explain how the underlying values of organization development compare to the values underlying other types of change.
• Analyze what it means to say managers should organize for both exploration and exploitation.
• Evaluate when a company might be better off taking a more limited approach to open innovation.
• Identify how designing organization structure can improve market success.

To support your work, use your course and textbook readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Submission Details

• Create a 3–5-page Word document.
• Name your file as SU_HRM5090_W4_Project_LastName_FirstName.

 Answer all questions of HRM 4570 ILR Homework

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. 

This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates.

 Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas. Continue developing your Organizational Change Action Plan. 

Based upon the course readings, supplementary materials, and your own literature search via the CTU online library, discuss the following:

Provide at least 2 scholarly resources to support your response. Use the LIBRARY or the MGMT Doctoral Library for help.

Class, for this assignment, we’ll be looking at art within a social context! Here are the rules.

First, you must choose a social group or movement. This can be a religious movement (E.g., a Christian denomination, Islamic sect, atheist group, etc.), political movement (either a specific political campaign, like Obama’s Hope and Change or Trump’s Make America Great Again; or a piece more generally related to the Democrat or Republican parties, or an affiliated group or third party), or otherwise cultural movement (e.g., Black Lives Matter, the Pro-Life movement, the Tea Party, Occupy Wall Street, etc.).

***********I PREFER BLACK LIVES MATTER******

Second, you must find a piece of art related to your chosen movement. We’re looking for more than just a photograph or a campaign flyer – we want to find an illustration or art piece, with a particular artist, that reflects the ideas of your chosen movement. Add an image of this art to your paper.

Third, write and submit an assignment entry (2-3 pages long, aka 500-750 words long) that answers the following question:

1. Describe the art piece. [Hint: pretend you are describing the art piece to someone who cannot see it.]

2. Summarize the message you believe the artist was hoping to convey. Do you agree or disagree with this message, and why or why not?

3. Summarize the effectiveness of the art itself in communicating this message. Explain what about the art makes it effective, and what (if anything) is there in the art that you think could be improved or is (possibly) ineffective? [Even if you agree with the message of the artist, you may find that the art itself could do a better job communicating that message.]

4. Finally, discuss the role of art in general in social conversation. Is art an effective way of communicating social messages? Why or why not? What challenges must an artist consider when creating social art?

5. Use at least 3 separate, distinct references in this paper.

Preferred method: Typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.

• Include a cover page containing the assignment title, your name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

• Recognize the influence of social conditions on the production and reception of modern art.

Which party (union or management) would likely be in a stronger position to bargain for its preferred wage outcome under the following conditions, and why? 

• high profits, an expanding market share, a healthy economy, and the cost of living rising less than two percent per year 
• low profits, stagnant sales growth, uncertain economic conditions, and a projected four percent annual rise in cost of living 

Your response to these questions should be a minimum of 1 page in length. Use APA format to cite and reference all quoted and paraphrased material, including your textbook. Please be sure to include your reference list on a separate page.

Deliverable 3 – Evaluate Research and Data

Competency

Evaluate research and data that can help answer the research question and support a hypothesis.

Scenario

You are a first-year graduate student. You are taking a graduate course on research and writing. In this assignment, your professor has asked you to evaluate the research and data in two studies related to a research question you are interested in.

Instructions

In a paper for your professor, do the following:

• Find two scholarly research articles in the Rasmussen library related to a research question you are interested in. Indicate the research question.  Be sure to provide APA citations and provide the library permalinks for the two articles.
• Evaluate how data was used in these studies:
  • Is the data credible and reliable? Support your answer.
  • Is the data well documented in the paper? Support your answer.
  • Evaluate the data analysis and interpretation. Does the data support the hypothesis and help answer the research question? Support your answer.
• Discuss the ethical issues that may arise as you conduct your research study. How will you address those issues?

Although often difficult to define, leadership presents a pivotal aspect in any organization. Over the course of history, various leaders have embodied characteristics and qualities that have proved effective and ineffective within various situations. For example, a health director of a small clinic might exhibit a different leadership perspective than a director of staff for an intensive care unit at a large hospital. Though characteristics and qualities may vary among leaders, their primary goals for followers and organizations may be similar. Understanding the most appropriate leadership perspective may impact your future leadership perspective in the field of health care administration.

Post an explanation of how transformational leadership and transactional leadership relate to Trait Theory, Skills Approach, and behavior perspective. Then, explain under what circumstances a transformational leadership might be preferred and under what circumstances a transactional leadership might be preferred for the practice of health care administration. Provide an example and justify your response.

“Employee Testing”

• Evaluate the types of employee testing that companies may require that are discussed in the text. Determine the two tests that you consider the most important. Support your reasoning.
• Go to Human Metric’s Website  http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp 
• and take the Jung Typology Test™ (sample of the Myers Briggs personality test). Next, examine your test results. Determine whether you believe this type of personality test is beneficial to an organization. Support your position.

Step 1 – Read the Information Below

Organizational behavior is the combination of four areas of study—psychology, social psychology, sociology, and anthropology. While each of these areas involves an examination of people and their interactions, the focuses are quite different:

• Psychology studies the mind and how people make decisions.
• Social Psychology examines how people work in groups.
• Sociology explores how systems work within the organization.
• Anthropology examines how culture works within the organization.

Now, assume that you are an organizational consultant and have been asked by a new CEO to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the organization.

Step 2 – Post a Response

Respond to the following.

• Of the four areas of study listed above, which would you focus on first?
• Make sure to explain why you chose this area, and why it would take precedence over the other areas.
