“Topic 3: Checklist” Implementation Plan
$25.00Consider the population in which the solution is intended, the staff that will participate, and the key contributors that must provide approval and/or support for your project to be implemented. These stakeholders are considered your audience.

- Rationale for selecting proposed solution.
- Evidence from your Review of Literature in Topic 2 to support your proposed solution and reason for change.
- Description of implementation logistics (When and how will the change be integrated into the current organizational structure, culture, and workflow? Who will be responsible for initiating the change, educating staff, and overseeing the implementation process?)
- Resources required for implementation: staff; educational materials (pamphlets, handouts, posters, and PowerPoint presentations); assessment tools (questionnaires, surveys, pre- and post-tests to assess knowledge of participants at baseline and after intervention); technology (technology or software needs); funds (cost of educating staff, printing or producing educational materials, gathering and analyzing data before, during, and following implementation), and staff to initiate, oversee, and evaluate change.

The Employment-At-Will Doctrine Case Study
$25.00Imagine you are a recently-hired Chief Operating Officer (COO) in a midsize company preparing for an Initial Public Offering (IPO). You quickly discover multiple personnel problems that require your immediate attention.
- John posted a rant on his Facebook page in which he criticized the company’s most important customer.
- Ellen started a blog to protest the CEO’s bonus, noting that no one below director has gotten a raise in two (2) years and portraying her bosses as “know-nothings” and “out-of-touch”
- Bill has been using his company-issued BlackBerry to run his own business on the side.
- After being disciplined for criticizing a customer in an email (sent from his personal email account on a company computer), Joe threatens to sue the company for invasion of privacy.
- One of the department supervisors requests your approval to fire his secretary for insubordination. Since the secretary has always received glowing reviews, you call her into your office and determine that she has refused to prepare false expense reports for her boss.
- Anna’s boss refused to sign her leave request for jury duty and now wants to fire her for being absent without permission.
As an astute manager, you will need to analyze the employment-at-will doctrine and determine what, if any, exceptions and liabilities exist before taking any action. As you proceed with your investigation, you discover the company has no whistle blower policy.
In preparation for this assignment, use the Internet or Strayer Library to research your state’s employment-at-will policy.Write a five (5) page paper in which you:1. Summarize the employment-at-will doctrine discussed in the text and then evaluate three (3) of the six (6) scenarios described by determining:
a. Whether you can legally fire the employee; include an assessment of any pertinent exceptions to the employment-at-will doctrine.
b. The primary action(s) that you should take to limit liability and impact on operations;specify the ethical theory that best supports your decision.
2. Examine your state’s policy on employment-at-will. Analyze at least one (1) real-world example of an employee or employer utilizing your state’s employment-at-will doctrine in the last five (5)years. Include a summary of the main issue and the outcome in the identified real-world example.
3. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia is not an acceptable reference and proprietary Websites do not qualify as academic resources.
Discrimination of Walmart
$2.50Theworld’s largest retailerWal-Mart Stores Inc. was suedby women for gender discrimination.The women claimed that the company is not following the policies of equal pay and equal opportunities for women. As according toJim Kaster of Minneapolis-based Nichols Kaster PLLP, a lawyer for the plaintiffs claimed in a statement announcing the filling that“Women at Wal-Martwas told by management that women deserved less pay and fewer promotions than men because men had families to support.”
There were more cases which were filed by the women at different stores of Wal-Mart.Almost 1.5 million current and former women worker filed the case of discrimination against the Wal-Mart. But Supreme Court blocked the nation’ s largest ever sex discrimination case plea ruling in favor of Wal-Mart because the majority of the court found ‘no convincing proof’ againstacompany wide pay and promotion policy.Court’s conservatives defined that women were not able to prove that they had suffered from the common policy of discrimination.
There were the different opinions of the lawyers in favor and against the women. As according to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and other court’s liberal were in favor to give more chance to the women to prove their case. While some had suggested that there were ample evidence that there were some problem at Wal-Mart like where and when the cases were filed, women held 70 % of the hourly jobs but they were made up only 33 % of management employees.
But finally, it became the history and a victory for Wal-Mart because the company won the case. In fact, it was the victory not only for Wal- Mart, but for all those private businesses too that do the business inthe United Sates.But there is no doubt that it was really very sad for the millions of women who filed the case against the largest private company Wal-Mart. It enhanced the frustration of Americans with a notion that some corporations are too big to fail.

What is the relationship between power and influence…
$30.00- Power vs. Influence
Last week you learned about power and this week you learned about influence.
Power is defined as: the extent to which a person is able to influence others so they respond to orders
Influence is defined as: to get others to follow one’s wishes
What is the relationship between power and influence? Does a person need power in order to influence? Does a person with power automatically influence others? When would a person have power without influencing others? When is it likely that a person can influence others without having power?
- Illustrate expectancy theory or goal-setting theory
This week you learned about both “Expectancy theory” and “Goal-setting theory”. Illustrate one of these theories by providing an example that is relevant for you.
- Goal-Setting theory
Goal setting is a widely used practice for motivating employee performance. Goal-setting theory describes how and why specific and difficult goals improve performance compared to “do-your-best” goals. When might goal setting not work to effectively motivate employees? Why?
- Motiving employees
Although this is the first week we have formally talked about motivating employees, this topic has come up on several occasions throughout the course. As a manager this is a major part of one’s job (particularly for first-line and mid-level managers). Using everything that you have learned in this course so far, respond to the following questions:
What is the best way to motivate employees? Although most people agree that employees are motivated by different factors, is there a motivational technique that works for most people? What is it? Why would you suggest that it works for most people?
- Motivating employees at Whole Foods.
Based on your reading of the Whole Foods case, what does Whole Foods do to motivate their employees? Where could Whole Foods improve?
Please note: you may use outside resources to answer this question

4). any product related changes made,
5) How the company’s product advertising differs – the marketing mix.

Add a summary chart of all the information you find.
Product: Smart Car
Compare and Contrast countries: US and Singapore (India?)
Mobile Phone Challenge
$10.00Mobile Phone Challenge – Challenge Questions
1. Which mobile device brands have you used in the past and which brand are you using now?
2. What made you switch from your old mobile device brand to the one you are currently with?
3. What do you like most about the phone you have now?
4. If you were creating a campaign to urge consumers who currently need a new phone to switch their phone brands (e.g., Apple to Samsung, Samsung to Motorola, etc.) without offering any monetary incentives, how would you convince them? What would your campaign look like?
– Re: NO monetary incentives, you cannot offer a free/discounted phone, free/discounted minutes, or free/discounted data plans. The incentive to purchase or switch to a new device should in no way be reflected in a “savings” in the consumer¹s pocket. Be creative.
