Beliefs, attitudes, values, and characteristics of a generational cohort

For this assignment, you will research the beliefs, attitudes, values, and characteristics of a generational cohort rather than a biological age group. Assume that you are preparing a speech based on a topic of your choice in a professional setting.

Step 1: Research the characteristics, beliefs, attitudes, and values of a generational cohort at least one generation away from your age group: Post-Millennial, Millennial, Generation X, Boomer, Silent Generation, Greatest Generation. Determine the generation and provide a summary of what defines the cohort (e.g., people born before 19XX).

Step 2: Describe some of the generation’s basic characteristics, beliefs, attitudes, and values, especially as they relate to your topic.

Using information from the class, how does the information from this paper impact your perception of Domestic Hunger vs. World Hunger? Provide specific information from class to support your answers from a world hunger standpoint.

How does something like the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbate poverty and powerlessness? Feel free to use personal or firsthand experiences.

Lastly, how does something like COVID-19 or any large scale disaster impact the nutritional status of the individuals, and more specifically, you? Going back to our first very basic lecture on normal human nutrition, think about your diet before and since COVID-19. How has it changed? Do you notice differences in the way you eat, or how you access food? Has the pandemic affected your food security? If you feel that last question is too personal, you may skip it.

Offer your original views and strategic recommendations on an existing company

Assignment task

The assignment requires you to write a report where you critically analyze the strategy of an existing company, offering your original views and your strategic recommendations.
As subject of this assignment you can choose any organisation active in the broader aviation/ transportation/ tourism.
Your report should contain content covering the following four key areas:

1. Strategic purpose
In this section you should describe the reason why the organisation exists and what it plans to achieve. This should include an overview of the nature of its business, organisational Culture, aim (Mission, Vision/Core Values, including Founders’ vision if appropriate) and the different stakeholders involved.

2. Strategic analysis
A critical analysis of the context in which the companies operates, aimed at offering valuable strategic insights. This should include an analysis of both the external and the internal environment, using tools such as SWOT, Pestle, Core Competencies, Value Chain.

3. Strategic options

In this section you should take a consulting approach: present a critical overview of the strategy currently adopted by the organisation, a list of possible alternative strategic options that you envisioned and your recommendation on what course should be chosen and why. Here you are encouraged to use creativity and imagination and you should not be afraid to recommend a very innovative or extreme strategic option, if you believe it would be the best one. Whatever your recommendation is, you will need to back it up with a solid rationale.

4. Strategic implementation
An overview of the possible actions needed to implement and monitor the organisation’s strategy. This could include an analysis of the actions being taken or planned, changes in resources, corporate/ organisational structure and people, key process, control and evaluation methods,

Your overall word count should be around 2400 words. However, in creating your e–portfolio you are encouraged to exploit the potentiality of web publishing and not limit yourself to writing text. Your work can be expressed also with slides or multimedia elements such as photo, audio or video (in that case, word count will be adjusted to reflect the presence of non–text elements). The website should be of quality standard and should use a meaningful and easy–to–navigate content structure. All text elements should be written using high–quality English language and a font with good readability. In every piece of your work you should not simply describe what you observed. You are expected to provide a critical and original analysis, offering your own point of view on the effectiveness of the current strategy and its alignment with the strategic purpose and environment. Your analysis should be underpinned by the latest numerical data, evidences, trend analysis, understanding of current events (eg the effects of the Covid–19 pandemic or the war in Ukraine), lateral thinking, comparison with other organisation and relevant literature.

This assignment has been designed to provide you with an opportunity to demonstrate your achievement of the following module learning outcomes:

LO 1 Critically analyse the internal and external factors of an organisation using appropriate theoretical frameworks and tools.
LO 2 Identify and develop innovative strategic recommendations.
LO 3 Apply and align organisational strategy with corporate and social responsibility.
LO 4 Demonstrate an ability to take responsibility for personal leadership development in a strategic management context.

DRUG CRIME WEEK 2

We have previously discussed how drugs are abused, their psychological, physical and sociological impact and society’s efforts at controlling drugs. This discussion question will focus on how the drugs are made available to the user. Most illicit drugs are made available to the user through a complex chain of events that begins with cultivation (organic drugs like cocaine) or manufacturing (synthetic drugs like methamphetamine), importation into the United States (if not domestically produced), wholesale distribution and eventually, retail (street level) sales. The sale of these drugs to the user is the ultimate objective of the entire process because this is where the profits originate. It is important to understand how drug trafficking organizations operate, especially in the critically important point where the drugs leave the trafficking organization and enter the realm of the user.

For this discussion question, address the following:

There are two basic street distribution models: freelance and business. Describe both the freelance model and business model of drug distribution.

Consider the typical relationship between street level dealer and drug user. The drug user (consumer) and the drug dealer (retail sales person) engage in a mutually consensual transaction where the user receives a commodity (illicit drug) in exchange for an accepted payment (cash, property, etc). If we were to disregard the facts that the commodity has been deemed contraband and illegal by the government and consumption of the product has been deemed physically and socially destructive to the buyer, this is simply a business transaction no different than buying a Snow Cone from an ice cream man. If a drug deal occurs between two mutually consenting adults, how does this hurt anyone other than those individuals who want to engage in this activity?
