Develop a new solution and implementation plan to propose to the client’s executive management.

Team report for 3 roles

You will be working with a team of fellow consultants, developing solutions to help your clients deliver care more efficiently and effectively. Instead of analyzing available solutions as in the Individual Whitepapers, your team will be developing a new solution and implementation plan to propose to the client’s executive management. For this assignment each team member will assume one of three roles:

  • Project Manager – Define the problem, frame and propose solution, oversee deliverable.
  • Systems Engineer – Develop technical solution, design system architecture.
  • Business Analyst – Explain the client’s needs, develop implementation plan.

Each student should assume a different role for each report, with groups of four students “doubling up” on whichever role is most useful for a given project, and each team member’s role should be listed on the cover page of the report. The report should contain two single-spaced pages of text (not including the bibliography) per group member plus a system architecture diagram drafted by the engineer. At least five academic papers should be cited to support your position, and please include an annotated bibliography at the end. Please include PDF copies of each source cited in the report with your submission.

Oral Communication Spring Term 2023

Description
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose one of the following films to watch on your own time. Make notes as you watch that relate back to the chapters we have explored as a class.

Based on the movie, try to answer the following questions:

  • How did conflict form between two characters?
  • What were the coming apart/together stages that you witnessed?
  • How to intercultural competency improve over time between two or more characters?
  • Did characters communicate through face-to-face or mediated channels?
  • How did social media impact a character and their relationships with others?
  • Did characters work effectively in a small group?
  • How did characters solve problems with others?

These questions are meant to guide you through your analysis of the film. Do not feel the need to limit yourself to only answering these questions. Explore the film and tie it back to the concepts and theories we explored all semester.

This assignment should fall between 1- 2 – pages in length.

Choose one of the following:

  • Moonlight (2016) [CW: homophobia, sexual content]

The ethics of surrogate motherhood (Kantian and utilitarian ethical frameworks)

Analyze the situation described in this New York Times article from the Kantian and utilitarian ethical frameworks. You don’t have to explore both, but you do have to state which approach you’re taking and then apply that approach. This is the link to the new york times article. https://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/10/world/asia/10su… 1 paragraph will be enough.

COUNTRY RESEARCH PROJECT/MERCHANDISER’S APPAREL AND TEXTILE SOURCING GUIDE-INFOGRAPHIC

SCOPE

As part of the development of a sourcing strategy, it’s important to gain a comprehensive understanding of the countries’ condition and their apparel manufacturing industry before actual placement decisions are made.

OUTCOME

Based on the country research and analysis each student will be able to develop a sourcing profile for your selected country. The outcome of the project is to maximize opportunities and minimize risks for sourcing from your country and your product.

You will use apparel and textile industry-specific resources that will assist you and allow you to gather industry-specific information. This will enable you to create a Country report/Merchandiser’s Apparel and Textile Sourcing Guide for your country

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

  • Evaluate the sourcing options and the risks and benefits of each country
  • Enable students to understand the importance of international business and cultural relationships in today’s fashion apparel and textile industry
  • Synthesize research into a well organized apparel and textiles sourcing guide for your country

RESEARCH

You will research and analyze your assigned country and the factors that impact a merchandiser’s decision to source, procure, or purchase apparel and textile products from your assigned country. Some topics, which should be included in your research, are:

  • What are the new technological advances that impact the apparel and textile industry that are available in your country. Focus on technological innovations and advances that will benefit the apparel and textile industry in both production and transportation.
  • What is the demographic makeup of the population within the country?
  • What is the cultural and ethnic makeup of its people?
  • What is the wage scale for our specific industry? How qualified is the workforce?
  • What is the climate like and how does this impact production and shipping?

Study Guide for ENGL 306 Final Exam

This exam will consist of two parts.

The first part will have 25 multiple choice questions in the style of our quizzes.

The second part will involve using the knowledge you have developed on global/international communication to revise a difficult (bad news) letter for a non–US audience—a Japanese business audience. In order to be successful, you will research communication patterns for your intended reader using materials available on Canvas.

For this section of the final exam, you will revise Document E: Bad News Business Letter so that it better works for the Japanese business reader addressed in the letter. The letter is available on Canvas, and you may complete this section of your exam prior to taking the actual exam and submit it during the exam.

Geology Questions

5. Why does the annual temperature range increase as the latitude increases?

6. Although this situation is not always true, the three climographs show decreasing precipitation with latitude. Why is there potential for greater precipitation at lower latitudes? Land heats and cools more rapidly than water. Therefore. seasonal temperature variation is moderated at locations influenced by large water bodies. In these marine climates summers generally do not get excessively hot. and winters do not get excessively cold. By contrast, areas farther away from large water bodies experience greater seasonal temperature variation. Extremes are greater in these continental climates. Compare the marine climate Of Revkjavik with the continental climate of Yakutsk.

7. What is the average annual temperature range at Reykjavik? Yakutsk?

8. Name two other places that would have different temperature patterns because of their contrasting proximity to the ocean. (Choose places with similar latitudes.)
