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.

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.

 I need to Create a PowerPoint (with speaker notes)on the paper in the browse file.

you are welcome to be as creative as you desire with graphics, and various tools, and so forth. If you have other presentation ideas, The paper is in the browse file, all I need is just to use it for power point.

Instructions

Write a 7 page APA formatted deliverable where you substantively support your choices using the critical path as a source of credibility and validation. Include 5-7 peer-reviewed references. This will require you to use MS Word and/or EXCEL to support calculations and use flowcharts, tables, and graphs.

It is recommended that you review the Critical Path thoroughly in the textbook (  Schroeder, R., Goldsetien, S. & Rungtusanatham, J. (2010). Operations Management: Operations Management in the Supply Chain: Decisions and Case, 6th edition. ISBN:978-0073525242 ). Then build your Critical Path. Include your techniques and charts.

Address Following Questions:

• Which of the articles gave what you believe to be the most value in relationship to critical path?
• Explain why.
• Based on what you have read in the chapters and in the articles do you see a relevant critical path for your project forming, if so explain what it might look like and roughly how many tasks will your project include?
• Will all of your critical tasks be deemed critical and will they potentially have dependencies?

Focus on structure, processes, efficiency, effectiveness, quality, control, and metrics. 

Culture plays a primary role in how we communicate with each other. As human services workers, we often encounter individuals whose cultural perspective is very different from our own. Knowing the key elements that differentiate cultures, as well as our own cultural orientation, is important in being able to communicate effectively. In this discussion, you will be describing aspects of cultural difference that may impact interpersonal communication. You will also be reporting on your own cultural orientation.

Read Chapter 2 from The Interpersonal Communication Book. In addition, answer the fourteen questions on your cultural orientation found on pp. 35 – 36.

Reflect on the findings of the cultural orientation test that you completed. How did this help you to understand your own cultural orientation? Were there some elements that really made sense to you while others did not? How did this compare to what you read about differing components of a cultural orientation? How would you describe your own specific cultural orientation (not just as the United States or your country or origin)?
