Bad News

It is time to write a persuasive formal letter delivering “bad news” to a recipient. Bear in mind that these are the toughest types of letters to write well, so study all the resources for this module carefully before you begin.

Purpose

You will formulate a letter that demonstrates your understanding of the importance of the right rhetorical stance, business-like tone, professionalism, and sensitivity toward your reader. Your letter will establish what you should do in a problematic business situation because you will encounter times in your career when you will need to present difficult news with clarity and persuasion.

Task(s)

Select your topic from the list below for your business letter and type it according to the protocols laid out in the readings and viewings for this week.

Although the situation you are presenting in your letter is not a pleasant one, your letter should be professional in tone and appearance, demonstrate careful thought and intelligence, sound compelling and sensitive to the writing context, make use of careful word choice, grammar, and punctuation, and relay a complexity and sophistication in ideas and appeal.

Further, your letter must be persuasive and substantive in content (that is, provide all the details your reader needs—even if you must fill in the gaps). A minimum of 350 words (apart from the heading, salutation, and closing) is required.

Option 1
1. A formal letter to your boss to let him or her know that you have handled a customer complaint issued against a colleague. This is a dicey situation because you must create the scenario and then decide upon a host of factors: is this a friend? A rival? Was the complaint true or accurate? Egregious? Is your company liable in this case?

Option 2
2. A formal letter to a group of colleagues to request a meeting to create a new policy in response to a recent and unpleasant occurrence. You will need to discuss the sensitive nature of the action and those involved, but you must remain professional and heed the warnings in the resources about litigious actions.

Option 3
3. A formal letter to a client to address his/her complaints against your company. Your client is being unrealistic and demanding exorbitant compensation, but your management team believes that the error was minor (fill in the gaps) and in no way requires major compensation. Here’s the problem: this client is one of your most loyal and most important as far as producing revenue for your company. Worse? This customer’s nephew works at your company and has access to all your correspondence.

Option 4
4. A formal letter to donors informing them that as the director of your university’s annual fund-raising campaign. You discovered that funds were misappropriated and that personal financial information was sold by a former employee to an outside source. You must now notify the donors of this breach, but there is the cause here for greater embarrassment for you: as the director, you previously contacted each of these donors and convinced them to contribute to the wonderful project (you may fill in the details here) underway. More bad news: the press has gotten wind of this breach and will soon publish a story in the local paper about it.

Option 5
5. You are Joan Rivers’ assistant at the Communications and Marketing Department at your university. You have just received 10,000 copies of a brochure that you created and wrote to advertise to the local community your university’s economic and social commitment (and contribution) to the region. Unfortunately, you discovered that two panels of the brochure are blank, and this is the second time your printer (Fastidious Printing Company) has made a major mistake with your projects. You and Joan are very angry, especially since the sales manager promised last time that this would not occur again. Write a formal letter to the sales manager to correct this problem. Oh, and the shipment invoice indicated an increased cost for which you were unaware.

Persuasive Communication

It is time to write another persuasive letter, but this time you will write to your instructor about the topic for your formal report. Although this letter may be crafted less formally in tone than the “bad news” letter, it is a persuasive communication. Therefore, you should study all the resources for this module carefully before you begin.

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is for you to continue to hone your writing skills, to persuade your instructor of the appropriateness of your topic for your final major project in this course, and to showcase your deliberative process as you illustrate the need for a solution to your selected “problem” or “opportunity.”

Task(s)

You need to begin preparing for subsequent activities related to the Final Recommendation Report due in Module 8. See the Final Recommendation Report Flow Chart.docx to get an idea of what is coming.

To begin that process and for this specific exercise, you need to identify a problem or concern in your workplace, a local organization, a government agency, on campus, or in your neighborhood. This problem or opportunity must be one for which you are qualified to seek a realistic solution and one that offers a real (and specific) audience to whom you can write your report.

In other words, you must consider the scope of your topic; you cannot attempt, for example, to solve the rising student debt crisis in the United States; nor can you attend to the refusal of some organizations to require (or not) face masks in their establishments during the pandemic.

Once you have decided upon a topic as the focus for your final report, you will then write a letter to your instructor identifying the problem or opportunity you wish to research and write about in that final report.

Consider the following as you complete this exercise:

1) What idea do you have to improve something at your job, your organization, or in your community?

  • Is it a new process or policy?
  • Is it a new position that should be created?
  • Is it a new program that could be created?

2) Who would care about this idea? In other words, who should be your intended audience?

  • Is it your boss? Your boss’s boss? A board? An elected official?
  • What will you need to do in your final report to convince your audience that your idea or solution is worth implementing?

Although the situation you are presenting in your letter is not a pleasant one, your letter should be professional in tone and appearance, demonstrate careful thought and intelligence, sound compelling and sensitive to the writing context, make use of careful word choice, grammar, and punctuation, and relay a complexity and sophistication in ideas and appeal.

In international relations theory, realism helps explain state behavior. It holds that the international system is an anarchic, self-help system in which “might makes right,” in which “the strong do as they will and the weak suffer what they may.” Use an example from current events that supports this argument, and explain how and why this is so.

Theoretical approached in IR to actual contemporary cases

This is an open book, do-at-home (or work) examination. There are two, relatively open-ended questions. You must answer them both. The objective is to apply theoretical approached in IR to actual contemporary cases. You should use your textbooks and a reputable news source or sources to answer the questions.

1. In international relations theory, realism helps explain state behavior. It holds that the international system is an anarchic, self-help system in which “might makes right,” in which “the strong do as they will and the weak suffer what they may.” Use an example from current events that supports this argument, and explain how and why this is so. (No more than 750 words)

2. In international relations theory, idealism or liberalism suggests that we can achieve greater cooperation and peace if we support ways to increase interconnections among people of different countries. Use an example from current events, and from a different part of the world than in Question 1, that supports this argument, and explain how and why this is so. (No more than 750 words)

How effective and efficient were the policy responses to the COVID-19 in Mongolia. Were the policies reach their intended target group?

Policy Paper Proposal

Monetary and Fiscal Policy responses to the COVID–19 in Mongolia

Statement of the Problem
Mongolia has imposed severe domestic embargoes on logistics and strict lockdowns to reduce the plague’s spread due to an outbreak of COVID–19, which resulted in reducing overall economic activity. For example, they have reduced the level of income of households and businesses, and increased the level of expenditure. As a result, it is negatively affecting the living standards of households, reducing consumption, reducing the activity of business firms, and in turn creating job cuts. Furthermore, increasing the rate of non–performing loans (NPLs) in the banking and financial sector has deeply hurt the economy as a whole.

Source: Bank of Mongolia
The Government of Mongolia spent a total of MNT 2,821.1 billion in 2020 and MNT 3,188.5 billion as of September 30, 2021, to support the overall economic activity of the COVID–19 period. In addition, MNT 5,719.0 billion was disbursed to 58,387 borrowers under the “10 trillion health protection and economic recovery program” (Bank of Mongolia). In this regard, the policy measures being taken in Mongolia are as follows:

In terms of household policy measures: Increased welfare by MNT 100,000, increased child allowance by MNT 100,000, deferred repayment of consumer and mortgage loans, and provided financial support during the quarantine period.

In terms of corporate policy measures, business loans have been restructured, electricity and heating bills have been reduced, and soft loans at 3 percent per annum have been provided under the 10 trillion program.

As for policy measures aimed at businesses and households, social insurance premiums have
been reduced and tax breaks have been provided. As for the banking and financial sector, the policy interest rate has been reduced.

The government’s policy measures are aimed at increasing the overall economy by increasing aggregate demand and aggregate supply by supporting the activity of households and business firms. This raises the important question of whether the government’s policy measures are reaching its target audience and whether they are being spent as intended.

For example, can the inclusion of large firms that do not require social security contributions and tax breaks be effective in policy implementation? Also, how effective can the 10 trillion programs be for small and medium–sized firms that do not need to take out a soft 3 percent loan? Has the money from this soft loan been spent on what it will be used for? Or the important question is whether it was spent for its intended purpose.

Research Questions
1. How effective and efficient were the policy responses to the COVID–19 in Mongolia
2. Were the policies reach their intended target group?
