  Porter’s Five Forces Model, Blue Ocean Strategy and Leadership & Strategy

  Question 9                                                                                  15 pts

  Compare and contrast embedded sustainability to Porter’s Five Forces Model, Blue Ocean Strategy and Leadership & Strategy. Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each strategy within your comparison.

  Question 14                                                                           20 pts

  Discuss the importance of evidence-based (e.g. fact-based) arguments and decisions. Why is the evidence-based methodology significant for the study of technology and information systems. (hint: you must make a strong argument)

  Question 15                                                                               20 pts

  Using a dialog format build a strong argument on the the importance of implementing one of the theoretical models we discussed using an evidence-based (e.g. fact-based) approach.

  Your response should be detailed using a conversational writing style where the dialog takes place between you, and a couple of VPs, CIOs, CFOs and Presidents of corporate divisions. The topic will be a proposed technology idea or issue that overlaps one of the strategies we discussed, yet is not fully accepted by all levels of the organization. The CEO is concerned that all roles (previous question and identified in readings) should be considered before the organization moves in this direction.

  Background:
  An initial meeting took place, and the senior executives agreed to present their arguments on an internal Twitter-like board. Some of the executives see merit in your point, but others think you’re out of touch with how things really work. You were recently hired as a senior manager in support of the CTO and CSO.

  Example (initial source: MIT Sloan Review (Links to an external site.)):
  Corporate social responsibility initiatives run the risk of being seen as insincere. However, there are ways that companies can thoughtfully — and effectively — engage with the public about social issues.

  Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc., a quick-service restaurant chain based in Denver, Colorado, has never published a CSR report. The company has instead built its reputation for social responsibility on policies such as using antibiotic-free meat.

  Initial interview one year ago:
  Tina – Bloomberg Businessweek:
  Why has your company never issued a CSR report?

  Danny – Chipotle spokesman:
  Our company would “rather invest in taking action than in talking about it.”

  Recent follow-up interview:
  Tina – Bloomberg Businessweek:
  Dan, what you told me a year ago is not really true given the well-documented challenges that Chipotle has faced over the last several months. Shouldn’t Chipotle quantify the impact of those events in a CSR report so that the baseline is visible for all investors and consumers and the progress is transparent for all?

  Danny – Chipotle spokesman:
  Tina, our company, has struggled in recent times and it is important for us to put our employees and customers first. This is why we agreed to this interview and are seeking to build confidence through transparency.

  Danny – Chipotle spokesman:
  Let’s discuss the evidence.

  Tina – Bloomberg Businessweek:
  Okay, show me the facts, and if we agree, I’ll write about what your organization has accomplished.

  Question 16                                                                              18 pts

  Explain how social responsibility can be embedded within each component of Porter’s Five Forces Model (hint: you need to discuss each component).

  POETRY PAPER GUIDELINES ENGLISH 102: COMPOSITION II INSTRUCTOR: Y. BAILEY-KIRBY Having read several poems and discussed various themes, you may select any two of the poems listed below to compare/contrast for your poetry analysis paper. You will consider the role that the elements of poetry, such as tone, imagery, figurative language (i.e. metaphors, similes, personification, understatement, and/or overstatement), diction, structure, irony, and symbolism, may play to convey the theme of each poem. Once you have determined the theme, you will turn in a proposal with an outline as well as a clearly stated thesis. Furthermore, the length should be approximately 750-1000 words, and you need to include a MINIMUM of THREE QUOTES from the poetry as evidence/support as well as apply the MLA format for parenthetical citations. Remember, you must also provide a “Works Cited” page at the end of your essay. (Note: Late papers automatically receive a late grade of “F/55%”; therefore, plan your schedule carefully as not to leave yourself with no time to complete the paper by the due date.) ***If you find yourself struggling at any point, arrange a time to meet with me in advance, and I will be more than happy to assist you on organizing your ideas, answering any questions, or giving you any feedback on your analysis of the poetry. Keep the following bullet points in mind when approaching this essay assignment. ***  Formulate a clear and focused thesis that explains the argument you are making about the poems.  Create an informal/scratch outline with headings and subheadings to organize your ideas before you begin composing the essay.  Use quotations from the poetry as evidence to support your ideas.  Explain the relevance of those quotations to the argument you are making in your thesis.  Use formal language (no “I” or “you,” no contractions, no slang, etc.)  Use an elevated vocabulary that reflects your intelligence and high level of insight into the poetry, in order to express ideas smoothly, clearly, and fluently. (Bring a dictionary and/or thesaurus if you need it.)  Use appropriate punctuation, capitalization, spelling, grammar, and paragraphing. (Grade: 50% rhetorical content/50% grammar/punctuation. See the syllabus for the rubric.)  Follow the MLA format (MLA heading, double-space, blue or black ink, etc.)  Format and cite your quotations correctly in the MLA style.  Include a “Works Cited” page to document the source of any quotations you use.
