Benchmark – Data Collection
The purpose of this assignment is to conduct internal and external research to determine previously attempted solutions and potential solutions that could be implemented to solve identified problem.
For this assignment, you will need to create an Excel spreadsheet that summarizes the data collection you have completed. The spreadsheet should indicate the date on which particular data were collected, the source of the data collected, the type of data (qualitative or quantitative), and a one or two sentence summary of the data findings. Name the Excel spreadsheet as follows: lastname.firstname.datacollection.xlsx
Please note that as part of the research process, taking the initiative to speak with management and then requesting and reviewing business metrics and operations reports will allow you to find the data you need for the project while also showing your employer that you can be proactive and use critical thinking to solve problems within the organization.
Part 1:
The first step in data collection is to conduct research. You are looking for specific, measurable data (statistics and numbers) related how the problem is affecting the organization. This information should be recorded in the form of a chart or graph that presents the data so key decision makers can see the “cost” of failing to address the problem. Use the Topic Materials for assistance with creating Excel graphs and charts that can be used to illustrate your findings.
Part 2:
Next, conduct additional research to learn what has already been done to address this problem within the organization. Ask questions and interview individuals who assisted with the implementation of previous solutions used to address the problem. Prior to meeting with individuals, develop a list of questions about previous solutions. Consider factors such as customer importance, efficiency, quality, employee satisfaction, and cost effectiveness. You will want to make sure you ask questions that allow you to gather measurable data and include information about how successful previous solution options were in addressing each of the problems. When you have completed your research, the findings should be summarized using at least one chart or graph that represents the data you have collected. Use the Topic Materials for assistance with creating Excel graphs and charts that can be used to illustrate your findings.
Part 3:
The last step in determining potential solutions is to conduct external research. Using Internet and industry resources, research ways that other companies have addressed this issue or one very similar to it. Look for specific information related to the customer response, efficiency, quality, employee satisfaction, and cost effectiveness of solutions others have implemented. Find at least five potential solutions you can consider for solving the problem you have identified. Your goal in conducting this research is to find practical examples and measurable data related to how other companies and related industries have resolved the same problem or one very similar to it. When you have completed your research, the findings should be summarized using at least one chart or graph that represents the data you have collected. Use the Topic Materials for assistance with creating Excel graphs and charts that can be used to illustrate your findings.
The data collection Excel spreadsheet and the three data summary charts/graphs you have created from the research you have conducted should be submitted to your instructor.
The three charts/graphs you create will be used again in your Business Proposal Presentation in Topic 7 and the Final Business Proposal you will submit in Topic 8.

PowerPoint Presentation: Schizophrenia/Psychotic Disorders
Students will trace the historical development of one of the following: schizophrenia/psychotic disorders
The project should:
1. Identify and discuss how the diagnosis has been understood, described, and treated during at least two of the time periods covered in class (e.g., ancient period and Enlightenment)
2. Identify and discuss how the diagnosis is understood, described, and treated from one modern-day theoretical orientation (Either the psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, or humanistic perspective). This section should include an introductory slide presenting an overview of the perspective including its development, historical antecedents, and key figures.
3. Include and evaluation of the effectiveness of the chosen modern-day theoretical orientation for the treatment of the disorder.
4. Offer a discussion of a Christian perspective of the disorder.
The project should include a thorough critical analysis, which will discuss how the view of the diagnosis reflects the worldview/mindset of the various historical periods covered. The project should utilize at least 6 peer-reviewed, academic journals, of which least one is a primary source contemporary to the topic (e.g., translation of Aristotles On the Soul). The required peer-reviewed sources are in addition to assigned readings for the class, and students should note that most well-written papers will likely utilize more than the minimum number of references. Students may find it particularly helpful to refer to the optional reading list on the syllabus.
The project must consist of at least 16 informational slides (Title page, subheading heading pages, and reference page do not count toward this number). It must also be visually appealing through the use of appropriate/easy-to-read fonts, backgrounds, and the inclusion of content-enhancing illustrations/graphic (i.e., these are used to support the written content and do not replace explanations/discussions). The project must adhere to APA guidelines, including citations and reference page.

Corporate Social Responsibility
Businesspeople have long debated the role companies should play in the betterment of society. After all, renowned economist Milton Friedman once asserted that a businesss only responsibility was to make money for its stockholders. But in these days of mounting environmental concerns and unscrupulous corporate behavior, social responsibility is quickly becoming a hallmark of many companies. In response, some of the nations top graduate-level business schools added programs on corporate social responsibility to their overall curriculum.
For many companies, getting involved in social concerns can be more than just a reputation booster. Fair business practices like environmental sustainability can increase a companys bottom line as well. And thats exactly what high-level MBA programs across the country are teaching the future executives of America. Schools teach students about corporate social responsibility through case studies with actual companies that have seen overall growth or brand awareness stem from their social initiatives. Campbell Soup Company, for example, is conducting a study on sustainable agriculture and packaging with students at the University of Pennsylvanias Wharton School. Additionally, the nonprofit Net Impact, a global network of business leaders, expanded onto 157 MBA campuses in an effort to get students to work with companies on social issues.
For students, working with these companies can act as brief internships as they move past classroom theory into the reality of todays business environment. Still, most recruiters admit that skills in corporate social responsibility arent required for new hires. Even aspiring MBAs participating in these programs wont likely seek out jobs in the green sector or other socially responsible industries. Instead, schools hope that students will impart these skills to whatever company they end up working for. Some companies, such as Campbell, are going so far as to train new hires in social concerns with the goal that such knowledge will someday be required in recruiting.
Below are several situations that present ethical questions in a business.

Be sure to consider both short and longrange consequences. Also look at each situation from the perspective of all groups concerned: customers, stockholders, employees, government, and community.
