The employee asks you not to mention anything to the boss but to go with her to human resources for support while she reports him for those actions. What would you do, if anything, and why? Explain.

You are a manager, and your boss—who is also a friend—has reprimanded a fellow employee (also a friend) in ways that are demonstrably unfair and unethical but not illegal. That employee has confided in you with the facts, and you agree. The employee asks you not to mention anything to the boss but to go with her to human resources for support while she reports him for those actions. What would you do, if anything, and why? Explain.

One of your direct reports thinks that you are not acting responsibly or in the best interests of the company with him or the department in which you work. The direct report has informed you that your communication and work style are lacking and that this is also causing problems with others in the department. You are upset over this news and realize it could cause you problems with your boss and those above. What would you do, when, why, and how?

You learn that a woman in your department has complained about sexually improper advances toward her by your boss and another more senior person above that boss. You know the woman but not well.

She may be right in this instance. You have heard rumors that she often exaggerates and sometimes can’t be trusted. You don’t particularly like her and are concerned about your own reputation if she’s wrong. What would you do and why?

What similar feedback did they provide? What different suggestions did they offer?

In addition to receiving feedback from Dr. Line and meeting with Dr. Line, students will regularly meet with their secondary advisor to receive feedback on their capstone progress. Students must submit a 1-2 page reflection (250-500 words) discussing what was covered in the meeting, how this connects to feedback received from Dr. Line (including if you have received any conflicting feedback, so we can discuss and resolve this), their personal thoughts on their progress thus far, and specific steps describing how they will apply the feedback they have received from Dr. Line.

A clear, succinct summary of what was covered in your meeting with your secondary advisor is included. (2 pts)
The feedback your secondary advisor provided is connected to the feedback you received from Dr. Line (e.g., What similar feedback did they provide? What different suggestions did they offer? Is there feedback your advisors shared that conflicts or creates confusion?) (2 pts)
A minimum of two steps you have taken to make progress on your capstone paper over the course of the past two weeks are discussed. (2 pts)
A minimum of two steps you will take to apply the feedback you have received to further develop your paper are discussed. (2 pts)

Discuss how you adjusted your risk assessment after meeting with your team member. Include your thought processes. Be thorough and reflective to receive the full points.

Module 5: Discussion: Review Excel And Power Point Phase 1 – Module 5

Risk assessments do not go straight from point A to point B. The nature of risk assessment is to keep the target in focus and follow an assessment path that makes the most sense based on the target’s interaction in/with your organization and on the relevant information you gather, so planning is very important.

Gaining input from peers is extremely important. You may not be aware of the blind spots or biases you are bringing to the assessment. Doing peer sharing is part of collaborating from different vantage points to reduce the bias and and keep the target in focus.

Instructions:

This week you will be paired with one other member of the class to perform preliminary reviews and feedback collaborations. Set a method with a peer to exchange and review each of your preliminary risk assessments. The goal is to brainstorm and obtain some feedback to consider. You may or may not accept their feedback, and when you make those decisions, take notes on how you reached each decision. After you exchange your assessments and document your decisions follow the posting prompts below:

Group Posting Instructions:

Find your assigned peer from the Groups Icon on the far left side of your CANVAS Page and introduce yourself.

Share your documents in the Group page: Review each other’s documents and provide specific feedback. You are encouraged to meet via ZOOM to discuss your findings.

Initial Post: Summarize your peer review activities. Discuss specific risks that have been identified. Compare and contrast the findings, and include your thoughts on adding those risks to your assessment.

Response post: Discuss how you adjusted your risk assessment after meeting with your team member. Include your thought processes. Be thorough and reflective to receive the full points.

Note: Peer Post points go towards your response to their risk identifications. Be respectful if you disagree. Share your reflections on whether the collaborations resulted in additions. If you made no changes, be sure to explain your reasoning from a position of why you believe your risk assessment is fully complete.

Marketing & Advertising Executive-briefly discuss who your client is (you may select the client of your choice), showing that you are familiar with the client and the products that they offer.

This is a three-part project from which you will develop a portfolio of information rather than a simple paper or presentation. Based on the study materials you engaged with this week, write a 500 – 750- word Creative Brief for the client you selected and wrote about in the Introductions Forum. Here, you will briefly discuss who your client is (you may select the client of your choice), showing that you are familiar with the client and the products that they offer. In other words, you are answering two very basic questions: who is your client and what products and/or services do they offer?

In addition, you want to provide an overview of what the company is attempting to accomplish with the
advertising campaign. In other words, what is their overall strategy?

Furthermore, you will need to determine who their competition in the area will be.

Draw from the pool of direct
and indirect competitors in your area in order to develop an understanding of just who your client will need to
differentiate itself from. As the authors of this text state, here is where you will provide a “snapshot of the brand
situation” that your client is facing as they enter into your market.

Explain the Israeli War on Gaza and the Abraham Accords: The Dilemma for UAE Foreign Policy

Advisor review: changes or additions/deletions:
Some areas need improvement:
• You need to develop a separate sub-section for identifying your policy problem more concisely, including the nature of the problem (e.g., threat, challenge, or opportunity).

• In your analysis of Arab perceptions of the UAE-Israeli normalization, it is better to provide evidence to support your statements. This might include reference to public opinion surveys measuring Arab public opinion on that question.

• You need to identify the type of your policy gap across the three parameters of the no-policy gap, outdated policy gap, and implementation gap.
• You need to articulate the methodology of your research.

• You need to work on your proposed policy options, as the first and third options are almost identical. You must come up with three distinct policy options to be evaluated.

• You need to delineate your framework of evaluation. Which evaluation framework are you planning to apply to assess the feasibility of your policy options?

• You need to develop a more coherent sentence structure to ensure a consistent flow of ideas across the text.

• You have an excessive use of in-text citations across the text. You should only use it whenever necessary (i.e., paraphrasing an idea or quoting a statement).

• You should have a list of references.

Briefly state the purpose of the memo and the company you are analyzing.
