Two of the largest dairy companies, Borden and Dean Foods, have just filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This is a concern for Chobani. Based on the information provided, the unit’s concepts and term, and your research, put yourself in the position of a marketing consultant brought in to the company to critically examine the campaign’s ability to meet its’ objectives, and then formulate a set of well-developed and supported recommendations related to the company’s senior leadership team. Focus on:

ULO 1: Analyze the marketing process and identify the diverse factors that influence marketing actions.

ULO 2: Analyze how organizations build strong customer relationships and customer value through marketing

The recommendation should be logically presented, well-supported, and thoroughly vetted.

Consider narrowing your search focus to find INDUSTRY REPORTS by using the research terms: “trends in the dairy industry” and “trends in the yogurt dairy industry”.

Assignment question Leadership for Transformational Change
Critically analyse the utility and potential negative consequences of socialisation and behaviour modification techniques. How ethical is it for the transformational manager to utilise these techniques?
The following pointers will help you develop and complete your assignment:
A high-level of critical analysis i.e. a greater depth of understanding of the subject, is required for MBA than at undergraduate level.
It is expected that you will draw on the wider academic literature and apply this via examples to your own organisation.
The question asks you to differentiate between socialisation and behaviour modification therefore, for example, you might examine:
– at what stage(s) when employing staff you would utilise these techniques
– who you would apply them to
– what the key differences between these two techniques are
– what the aims/goals of using them are
– how, in detail, you would apply them
– how you would provide evidence for success
– the potential downsides of using these along with any evidence
– whether the use of these techniques is ethical.
All sources should be referenced as per instruction in the Introduction to this module.
The key to a good assignment is planning – if you plan your assignment appropriately, the execution becomes relatively straightforward.
The first stage of planning is deciding what the question is actually asking you to do. The accompanying notes should enable you to understand exactly what is required, making sure that you answer all parts of the question.
Once you have planned out the different elements of the assignment, review the relevant academic literature – simply rehashing the course material or Buchanan and Huczynski is not enough at this level.
The essay should have a strong narrative thread with clear exposition of the academic literature, with clear examples to illustrate your points.
You are strongly advised to read the MBA Standard Rubric that refers to these key points:
Understanding, theory and practice
Content/theory/models/frameworks
Reading, scholarship
Evaluation and analysis
Critical thought and complexity
Conclusions and originality
Written expression
Structure and presentation
Referencing
Length (4,000 words).
Ensure all of these elements are covered in your assignment

Identify the challenges inherent in determining who should be promoted within an organization.

/in /by

In the United States, assessment processes are often used to determine which individuals have the capability to grow into new, more challenging leadership positions. Based on this week’s readings, discuss the challenge of leadership succession management. Then, referencing your Scott and Reynolds (2010) textbook, required readings, and at least one additional academic sources, outline an approach for ensuring that succession planning makes appropriate use of assessment. In a paper of at least 1750 – 2100 words (or 5 -7 pages) in length  (excluding title, abstract and reference pages), address the following:
Identify the challenges inherent in determining who should be promoted within an organization. What factors need to be considered in identifying potential candidates for leadership positions? Discuss the six fundamentals of using assessment for growth-focused succession planning, as outlined by Paese (2010), identifying the critical aspects of each fundamental. Support your discussion with references to additional academic sources. Identify the different types of assessments that may be appropriate for use in succession planning and briefly describe their purpose. Propose a set of “best practices” for using assessment for succession planning, including quality considerations for assessment processes.

Write an organized literacy narrative examining your own literacy history, habits, and processes.

/in /by

1000-1250 words
MLA format (1 inch margins, double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 pt. type, correct class information, and page numbers, etc.)
Instructions:
Write an organized literacy narrative examining your own literacy history, habits, and processes. The purpose of this inquiry is to get to know yourself better as a reader and writer. Start your literacy narrative by considering your history as a reader and writer. Try to get at what your memories and feelings about writing/reading are and how you actually write/read now. Do not make bland generalizations such as “I really love to write,” “I hate reading,” etc. Instead, go into detail about how you learned to write/read. Mine your memory, thinking carefully about where you’ve been and where you are as a reader and writer.
Keep in mind that you should be looking for an overall “so what?”—a main theme, a central “finding,” an overall conclusion that your consideration leads you to draw. It might be an insight about why you read and write as you do today based on your past experiences. It might be an argument about what works or what doesn’t work in literacy education, on the basis of your experience. It might be a resolution to do something differently, or to keep doing something that’s been working. It might be a description of an ongoing conflict or tension you experience when you read and write—or the story of how you resolved such a conflict earlier in your literacy history.
(Don’t be afraid to voice your own opinions about writing, just make sure you back up your opinions and tell us why you feel the way you do J). Good luck!
Tips:
The audience is your instructor and classmates. Your audience will expect correct usage of grammar and style conventions, appropriate language and tone, well-organized thoughts, and detailed explanations.
Avoid trying to cover too many events or scenes. Illustrate one or two key events that influenced you. Keep the discussion focused on your precise purpose.
As this is a narrative, use details, descriptions, and dialogue to flesh out scenes so the reader can see what influenced you and why.
Make sure your essay has a clear goal or thesis. Show your reader who you are as a writer today and how you got to be the writer you are today.
Questions and prompts for brainstorming: (your paper does not have to explore all of these; this list can help you think of possible topics.)
How did you learn to read and write?
What kinds of writing/reading have you done in the past?
How much have you enjoyed writing /reading? Think of specific events.
What are some vivid memories you have of reading/writing or activities involving them?
What is your earliest memory of reading/writing?
What sense did you get, as you were learning to read and write, of the value of reading/writing, and where did that sense come from?
What frustrated or pleased you about reading and/or writing in school?
What types of reading and writing do you do most commonly? (could be digital media)
What is your favorite kind of reading or writing?
What are your current attitudes or feelings about reading or writing? Where do these attitudes come from?
Who are some people in your life who have influenced your views on reading/writing?
What technologies impact you as a writer?

Discuss the ambiguity suggested by the multiple sub-theories and frameworks of behaviorism.

/in /by

To successfully complete this journal:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhvaSEJtOV8&feature=youtu.be

Take the pre-test in Chapter 1: The Foundations of Behaviorism in your required text. Discuss your results.

Discuss the ambiguity suggested by the multiple sub-theories and frameworks of behaviorism.

Hint: Do the numerous sub-theories indicate differing suggestions although one overarching definition of behaviorism is often presented?

Explain how association doctrine and later, connectionism, evolved the foundations of behaviorism.

Compare and contrast the stimulus-response (S-R) model and the law of effect and how the inclusion of a confirming reaction change the model.

Outline the historical evolution of behaviorism suggested by its sub-theories (e.g. molar, radial, and psychological behaviorism).

Summarize any takeaways that you have developed about behaviorism, including its sub-theories, based on the content this week.

Once you have finished writing, consider running the tool Turnitin (found in your Course Resources tab) to assure you have successfully used your own voice, rather than another author’s.

 

Your journal this week should be 700 to 900 word

Discuss why you think a developed mental understanding about learning is important as a student of psychology.

/in /by

Select two theories discussed in your required reading, and describe the areas of each theory that you were not previously aware of and why these areas may suggest a need to assimilate, or even accommodate, your own current knowledge.

If unclear on the difference between assimilation and accommodation, see the following resource: The Assimilation vs Accommodation of Knowledge (Links to an external site.).

For example, did you know there are multiple sub-theories within behaviorism or cognitivism? Do you have previous knowledge about the stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) model suggested by constructivism?

Discuss why you think a developed mental understanding about learning is important as a student of psychology. Include all of the following in this explanation:

Why is it important to clearly understand the process for acquiring knowledge and then the variables that support effectively processing this knowledge?

What myth does stating “we all learn differently” promote to others?

Why does a more critical understanding potentially support a learner?

How could this understanding affect our success in a career?

How might culture (socio-economic, social circle, etc.) affect one’s ability to accommodate or assimilate an expanded knowledge about learning?

Lastly, compare and contrast your previous knowledge about this content to the more complex analysis of learning that you read about this week in the introduction chapter of your text (see the Writing Center’s
