Planning is essential, especially when an organization wishes to expand its operations into a foreign location. One of the critical aspects of the planning process revolves around assessments of a strategy’s upsides and downsides. From the discussion in the previous section of the paper, one can easily deduce that acquiring a European company is better than failing to do so. This choice has its set of upsides and downsides. One of the advantages of this decision is that the company will get access to immense up-to-date data to inform its decision-making. According to Hill et al. (2017), unlike other regional blocks, the EU has a comprehensive guide that provides real-time updates on the economic conditions, the political climate, existing laws and regulations, and the investment opportunities in member countries.

Desert island album

Desert Island Rapper

We’ve all gotten a taste of isolation over the past year. Despite the wealth of media the internet provides us, the experience nonetheless drives home the idea of the “desert island album,” that old game in which you name a single album you would like to have if stranded on a desert island, and argue the reasons why.

For this essay I’d like you to choose your desert island rapper. If you could only listen to one rapper, who would it be, and why? They can be contemporary or old school. Make a case for them: why should we pay attention to this artist? Why should their work be included not only in places like rap-specific anthologies, but in places representative of all of English Literature? Show us why this rapper should be part of the canon of Great Works (the label this course falls under).

Your discussion may include a look at this artist’s use of poetic devices, a consideration of how their work holds up when compared to other works of literature (or, how well does their work explore the intricacies of human nature?), and how this work might be read in terms of the historical and cultural contexts out of which it was born. It can also include personal experience, anecdotes, opinion, etc. Make it lively.

KRS One was born in 1965, and KRS One and his peers DJ Scott La Roc and D-nice founded Boogie Down Productions when he was only 22 years. While the group’s membership would change significantly over time, KRS One was the only member who remained for long (Himes, 2). Hip Hop was the culture that drove rap music, and KRS One has a significant place in its foundation. Indeed, He asserted that ”Rap is something you do, hip hop is something we live” (Parmar 29). This shows the artists have a firm position in the development and the history of hip hop and its popularity. In the 1980s, KRS one also pioneered the stop the violence movement, with Hip hop musicians who came together on an album entitled self-destruction. This followed an incidence of a young man being stabbed in an event where BDP was one of the groups performing and the subsequent association of the hip hop culture with violence. Hence, I consider KRS One my Desert Island Rapper but as the greatest and most influential hip-hop

Memo

From: Benefits Department

To: Director, Strategic Planning

RE: Change in Benefits

Overview: The company has had the same benefits provider for ten years and we have reached the end of the contract. As premiums and the cost to the company have increased every year, benefits have remained the same and even decreased in some areas. Additionally, employees have been sharing concerns regarding the cost, co-pays, coverage, and options of the current provider. Therefore, in order to conduct due diligence, the benefits team began reviewing other providers last year. Based on the feedback of employees and needs of the company, the following criteria were considered in the search:

Price of premiums

Lower deductibles

Improved dental plan option

Improved eye care plan option

Inclusion of health care savings or spending accounts

Enhanced long-and short-term disability coverage

Wellness programs

Reduced premiums for nonsmokers

After reviewing the different plans offered and extensive consultation with other stakeholders, the benefits team has selected a new program. Compared to the current program, employees will experience the following enhancements in the new program:

Plans with multiple deductible options

Health care savings account

A wellness program that offers access to a weight loss application, incentives for wellness visits and activity logs, and reimbursement for gym memberships and smoking cessation programs

Improved dental plan

Although these were part of the search criteria, the new program does not include:

Lower premiums

Improved eye care plan options

Reduced premiums for nonsmokers

Enhanced long-and short-term disability coverage

Benefits to the company include:

Reduced premiums for the employees engaging in wellness programs

Additional reduction in rates for in-network usage

The option of a “gold plan” for executives that is significantly more cost-effective than the previous plan

The new benefits plan will go into effect on January 1 of the new fiscal year and will be rolled out during the open-enrollment period of the current year.

Please contact the benefits department if you have any questions.

Requirements: 1-2 Pages, 3-4 slides, audio Script

To complete this assignment, review the Discussion Rubric document.

Requirements: 1 page

Answer preview

Like most organizations in the UK, Morgan Sindall has an obligation to increase gender diversity within its workforce and increase the participation of women in the company. To fulfill this obligation, the company’s board released a corporate message regurgitating its commitment to addressing the issue of women’s under-representation in the construction and engineering sector (Web Archive, 2016). This message will resonate not only within the company but also in the larger British society, mainly because the board has attained the gender balance it advocates for in other areas of the company and society. Essentially, since the company allows women to be members of its board and participate in top-level decision-making, people will be inclined to believe that the company’s corporate message will be implemented.

Competitive advantages

When managed well, diversity often enables companies to develop a variety of competitive advantages through the different talents and characteristics of employees. Diversity management is therefore emphasized in many business organizations.

Your assignment this week is to first watch the On-the-Job video of JetBlue that is located in the online Mind Tap content associated with this course. Watching this video will give you an excellent example of a company that effectively manages diversity. JetBlue set out to bring humanity back to air travel. Lisa Borromeo, the director of brand, advertising, and market planning at JetBlue Airways, states that the way to differentiate JetBlue from its competitors is its people. This is demonstrated in its focus on customers and crew members. Because JetBlue is based in New York City, its personnel and customers reflect the diversity of the city. The diversity of the employees helps them understand and fill the needs of the customers. Hiring is based on technical skills, knowledge, and the ability to do a specific job. Interviewers look for employees who are a good organizational fit. They match employee talents to the jobs that need to be done. JetBlue mentors employees who want to move up in the organization and promotes its employees.

After watching the video, identify another company that is effective at managing diversity and write a short, 2-page report on the company’s diversity efforts. You should focus specifically on the policies and practices that the company uses to enhance the management of employee diversity.

To identify key information, look through reputable news outlets and business publications (online and/or print) for stories about your selected company’s diversity management efforts. To better understand these efforts, you should be somewhat familiar with the company in terms of background, industry, operations, and/or culture.

The report should be approximately 2 single-spaced pages (12-point Times New Roman font, 1-inch margins; page count does not include title page or bibliography). At least 5 credible sources (much more is preferable) should be cited that provide support for your assessment. The file submitted should be in Microsoft Word format.

Gender issues have been a significant area of concern for many companies. However, Amazon has taken center stage in putting efforts on women and diversity. The company has been criticized for operating as a male club for many years, where women have no room to operate as top officers (Colazo, 2018). Considering that women constitute more than 40% of the global workforce, it has not been evident in Amazon’s leadership positions. However, new projects like HQ2 allowed Amazon to remedy its shortcomings. For instance, the company has started using the A.I. recruitment process to ensure women get the same opportunities as men (Dastin, 2018). Additionally, the company has strongly reviewed its policies to enable the provision of the same opportunities to men and women.

Organizational Politics and Power

While Amazon has taken all measures to improve diversity in all areas of the organization, it would be counterproductive not to look at the top institutional management. For a company to set a good example, the changes must start with the top management. Therefore, a company must demonstrate diversity from its top management and trickle down to its lower levels. After much struggle and debate, Amazon passed a vote that will help improve diversity and inclusion on its top management and board that will include both men and women (Florentine, 2018). That was an apparent gesture of how the company is committed to practicing diversity even among its top management.

This ensures that HR can strategically plan (Rubenstein, 2019). The human resource requires information on every aspect of the organization and business, including any information relevant to the business. The information is then analyzed to determine the most urgent actions that need to be taken. When HR focuses on the wrong data or ignores the information, it is likely to lead to inefficiencies and hinder collective actions. For instance, Lever utilizes cloud connect to identify the best talent for their organization (Cohen, 2019). The decision-making is based on the relevant information and is dependent on critically analyzing the data. Through storytelling, it can help connect with other people and help them understand how the company works. In addition, when people engage in storytelling, one can help indicate how their opinions, views, and values are formed based on something (Newstex, 2017). Data analysis can ensure that the organization’s needs are met. It also helps inform the organization’s decisions concerning hiring, training, operations, and the overall functionality of the business.

Technically, healthcare organizations collect information about the health conditions affecting the patients, interventions applied to manage these conditions, and how the conditions respond to interventions applied. These are valuable information to the research organizations as they can utilize this information to come up with more effective medications, healthcare devices, or health practices to manage these conditions more effectively, thus improving the patients’ well-being or improving healthcare organizations’ efficiency. The healthcare organization can generate income from the patient data by providing it to the third parties who derive insights from data later utilized to improve products, internal processes, and services, known as indirect monetization (Roberts & Edelmann, 2022). The patient data stored by the healthcare organizations have economic value to the organizations themselves and third parties.

One day, Nick overheard a telephone conversation between Chris and the client, in which Chris informed the client that he had covered up the fraud at the client’s company as requested during a prior interaction. This information was troubling, considering Chris had admitted to illegal and unethical activity. Nick decided to share what he learned with Jenna to see if she could advise him on what to do. Unfortunately, Jenna told Nick to do nothing and pretend he had never heard the conversation. Nick could not do this and, thus, decided to approach Chris and get to the bottom of what he overheard.
