How to Set Up the Paper

Instructions: 

You have been hired as an associate for a software company that offers support solutions and customer service to more than 500 businesses in the United States.  The company has recently started to experience significant growth and will need to hire many new associate positions.  Your manager, Jack Nyugen, has asked you to help create a recruiting video for the company that emphasizes the company as having a positive corporate culture in which employees live the company’s core values and like coming to work.  Jack provides you with a recruiting video for Zendesk, a favorite company of his, and has asked you to view the video to gain an understanding of the concepts, organizational culture and organizational structure.  Jack knows the value of seeing is believing but also knows the value in a person who is able to articulate what is seen. 

Jack has asked you to view the video on Zendesk:    https://youtu.be/l0uaSU6IVN4.   (You may need to right click on the link and open in a new window.)

You will write a report addressed to Jack and will use only the Zendesk video and course materials.  If external sources are used, the information will not be included in the grading.  

Use the following headings and instructions to complete the project:

Introduction

• Write an Introduction paragraph.  The Introduction paragraph is the first paragraph of the paper and describes to the reader the intent of the paper explaining the main points covered in the paper using a thesis statement.  This intent should be understood prior to reading the remainder of the paper so the reader knows exactly what is being covered in the paper. 

Organizational Culture 

• Discuss the seven dimensions of organizational culture
• Describe ZenDesk’s organizational culture by presenting examples for each dimension descriptor.    Your description of ZenDesk’s organization culture is accomplished by extracting facts from the video and matching those facts with the appropriate dimension descriptor. You must provide support, justification, and where appropriate, in-text citation, for the video facts matched with the dimension descriptors. 

Competitive Advantage 

• Discuss how ZenDesk uses its corporate culture to create a competitive advantage.  Make sure to correctly make connections between the video information and the course materials.

Organizational Structure 

• Identify and discuss ZenDesk’s organizational structure from what you see in the video and use the course material to support your description of the structure.  Make sure to use examples from the video.

Week 4- Non-Outdoor Education? 

I think that was the heavy lifting reading for the entire semester. Hopefully that quickly positioned Outdoor Ed, and made it increasingly clear that Outdoor Education has developed outside/apart of more ‘formal’ educational practices and institutions. Please watch the following video for an accelerated look at the history of western education as Sir Ken Robinson identifies current failings of our more formal Kinder – 12 grade education system. The video is fast and jam packed so don’t be afraid to give it two viewings. 

* Please don’t get too hung up on the speakers example of ADD/ADHD as it is admittedly a hyper-polarizing example of anesthetization of current students. 

Please reflect via a typed response and synthesize this video with our History of Outdoor Education assignment, and your annotated Bibliography articles.

Record/write as much or as little as you would like, but please submit a reflection.

Instructions

Self-esteem in the work environment is crucial to the overall success of everyday business operations and functions for the employee and employer; therefore, it is important to identify healthy self-esteem development and how to overcome communication barriers. 

Create a PowerPoint presentation (minimum of 10 slides) on how to overcome communication barriers—verbal and nonverbal (identify and explain with supported data and illustrations). You must use at least two sources with one being the textbook. Be sure to cite any sources used in a reference slide with proper APA formatting. The cover and reference slides do not count toward the total slide requirement. Also, use the speaker notes function to explain the content in detail for each of the slides. 

Note: Keep in mind the 6×6 PowerPoint rule: slides should only include six to seven lines of content with no more than six to seven words per line. Also, illustrations should relate to the content being discussed—be creative. 

Refer to the following tutorial from the Success Center on developing good PowerPoint presentations:

Communication and media have changed a great deal in just the past decade. Take a moment to think about mass media and some of the ways it influences American culture. Now think how it has affected you personally. Consider the advertisements, news stories, and other media images and content you have encountered or interacted with today. Reflect on the overall effect of these media. Are these positive messages, negative messages, or do they have another effect?

200 words required for this response.
