MT302M3-3: Analyze theories of motivation to improve employee performance.
GEL-1.02: Demonstrate college-level communication through the composition of original materials in Standard English.
GEL-6.02: Incorporate outside research into an original work appropriately.
Introduction: Being able to understand the different types of motivational theories helps leaders to build stronger organizations. It is important to focus on employees motivation to provide a supportive workplace that helps propel employees towards achieving organizational goals.
You read about motivation and were provided an opportunity to practice with motivation concepts. Now you will apply motivation concepts to a work situation. Read the fictional scenario on tab 2, and then address the checklist items provided below in an expository essay.
Scenario (fictional):
The Maple Building Company currently builds large portable offices (i.e., pods) and large retail spaces based on customized plans. The company has been in business 20 years and has prided itself on providing a very competitive salary and excellent benefits and retaining most of their original employees. While they started the company doing creative designs for one-of-a-kind office and retail spaces and even vendor truck interiors, much of the factorys routine work is now done robotically. Although the employees might modify the designs slightly now, they are already in the company computer and ready to produce small modifications when needed. They still need a supervisor and technicians to keep the operations running, and the construction crew who deliver and construct the products on site. There are two leading engineers. One engineer works on high-end corporate headquarters, and the other on large retail chain projects from Maples main offices.
The CEO and president (the co-founders), who were best friends in college, are the ones who meet with prospective corporate clients and negotiate the prices and building parameters. While the company used to construct small business and retail offices and even vendor truck build-outs for lower- to middle-income clients, the clients are now almost exclusively wealthy private clients or corporate titans. The CEO and the company president are beginning to think about retirement. They want to keep the company running, but they cannot understand why the two engineers seem unmotivated when they are receiving such competitive salaries and excellent benefits with 3 weeks vacation a year. Also, the production line has had more problems lately, and the supervisor seems to be coming in late several times a week, as have the technicians. They are worried about the future of the company they built.
Checklist:
Using critical thinking and analysis, you will address the checklist items.
Summarize the problems at the company that are possibly affecting employee motivation and performance.

trade war
Since coming to office, the Trump administration criticised the current trade agreements between the US and other countries. President Trump launched a new set of tariffs, effective 2017, on imports from Canada, the EU and China. The new tariffs placed a hefty tax on products made in other countries and shipped to the US. These tariffs were designed to give a price advantage to local US businesses and make foreign products more expensive in the American market, the largest economy in the world. In response, China, the second-largest economy in the world, and the EU, with an aggregated economy that is even larger than China, placed new tariffs or increased tariffs on US-made products, launching a mutual tariff retaliation known as a Trade War.
For this assignment, you are required to discuss the following:
The possible positive and/or negative consequences that a trade war may leave on the US economy, Europe, China and the world.
