1 Initial post: You have always viewed yourself as an approachable, caring leader who goes out of their way to help the team feel valued. In a recent 360 degree feedback, you learned that one of your direct reports said you were difficult to engage with, and that they find you quite challenging to work with. They also said that the team would be better off leading itself. Later, one of your peers told you that he heard that your team are having meetings behind your back to try to get you fired.2 Responses: Please response to the following two posts: Student A: “While this situation would be uncomfortable and discouraging, it also provides an opportunity for self-growth. I would do my best to see this situation as a learning opportunity, and hopefully by doing do, I would be allowing myself to grow as a leader. By taking time to self-reflect, I may be able to identify some of the reasons my teammates feel I am not a good leader and then correct my behavior accordingly. My next step in solving this issue would be having an open conversation with my direct reporters. If they felt safe to voice their concerns, a genuine and productive conversation might follow. And finally, if all else failed, I may decide to move on to a new organization. While I am willing to change and learn from challenging situations, I also think it’s important to know when it’s time to move on. Working in an environment where I am seen as a hinderance and a bad leader, may mean that I am not a good fit for the organization. So to conclude, I feel that the most important steps for me in this situation would be, self-reflection and willingness to make corrections as needed, open and productive communication with my teammates, and knowing when it’s time to move on to a new role. “Student B: “The first thing I would do is go back and think of times where I might have been difficult to work with and think how I could have dealt with something differently. If multiple people are saying I am difficult to work with, I would sit down with my team and be honest with them. I would tell them that I saw my feedback and that I am going to try to improve my skills. I also would ask them what they would like to see / expect from me and that I do not want to get fired. Another thing I would tell them is that I think it is very disrespectful to have meetings behind my back and that they are plotting to get me fired. I would hope that they would understand and that we could talk about this in a professional manner. I would also ask for some advice from my boss or supervisor.”

GOAL: Build on your work with your business model canvas by discussing the patterns, the design, and the overall business strategy that it illustrates.
Introduction: Using the week 5 Learning Material in the Content area (coupled with the other resources of the course), examine and discuss the observable patterns, designs, and strategies seen in your business model. You should also integrate metaphors (Morgan’s) and framing (Bolman & Deal) into the discussion of your organization/business. This paper will serve as an investigative tool to inform you further about your business model so that you will be prepared to comprehensively diagnose/assess your model and propose recommendations in your final project for the course. You could say that this week’s work lays the groundwork for moving into the substantive diagnosis and assessment expected in your final paper. You may also benefit from conducting an Internet search of the Business Model Canvas to become comfortable with how it works, particularly in the investigation of patterns, design, and strategy. There are also various YouTube-type videos on the web that demonstrate the use of the canvas for this phase of your work with your canvas.
Instructions: Write a 600-750 word paper that presents your conclusions about the pattern(s), design(s), and overall business strategy depicted by your canvas. Metaphoric and framing applications should also be discussed. The paper should be written in third person and is not reflective (first person not acceptable). A title page and references page with a minimum of three sources is required (no abstract needed).
IMPORTANT NOTE: One of the common errors that students make in the writing of this paper is to limit the discussion of the “frames” (Bolman & Deal) and “metaphors (Morgan). Do not merely mention these items, but discuss the implications of them. What “frame” best depicts your organization and why? What does it tell you about the effectiveness of the context/perspective of the interactivity within of your model? Make the same sort of consideration in relation to the most appropriate metaphor that describes the functionality of your organization/business. Look for the “so what” in your consideration of pattern, design, and strategy. This is where the consideration and reflection based on your model—with added insight via the frames and metaphors—provides you a substantive understanding of the implications of the pattern, design, and strategy. Consideration of change, or confirmation of direction—will be revealed in this process.

You are the in-charge auditor examining the financial statements of
the Gutzler Company for the year ended December 31. During late October, with
the help of Gutzler’s controller, you completed an internal control
questionnaire and prepared the appropriate memoranda describing Gutzler’s
accounting procedures. Your comments relative to cash receipts are as follows:
All cash receipts are sent directly to the accounts receivable clerk with no
processing by the mail department. The accounts receivable clerk keeps the cash
receipts journal, prepares the bank deposit slip in duplicate, posts from the
deposit slip to the subsidiary accounts receivable ledger, and mails the deposit
to the bank. The controller receives the validated deposit slips directly
(unopened) from the bank. She also receives the monthly bank statement directly
(unopened) from the bank and promptly reconciles it. At the end of each month,
the accounts receivable clerk notifies the general ledger clerk by journal
voucher of the monthly totals of the cash receipts journal for posting to the
general ledger. page 259 With regard to the general ledger cash account,
the general ledger clerk makes an entry each month to record the total debits
to cash from the cash receipts journal. In addition, the general ledger clerk,
on occasion, makes debit entries in the general ledger cash account from
sources other than the cash receipts journal, for example, funds borrowed from
the bank. In the audit of cash receipts, you have already performed certain
standard audit procedures: All columns in the cash receipts journal have been
totaled and cross-totaled. Postings from the cash receipts journal have been
traced to the general ledger. Remittance advices and related correspondence
have been traced to entries in the cash receipts journal. Required: Considering
Gutzler’s internal control over cash receipts and the standard audit procedures
already performed, list all other audit procedures that should be performed to
obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding controls over cash and
give the reasons for each procedure. Do not discuss the procedures for cash
disbursements and cash balances. Also, do not discuss the extent to which any
of the procedures are to be performed. Assume that adequate controls exist to

CHAPTER 13 Interventions in Disaster Mental Health Counseling A NEW GENERATION OF DISASTER MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELORS Catastrophic events have accelerated worldwide within the past 15 years. In America, the horrific terrorist attacks of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, and the devastation that took place from Hurricane Katrina that took place on August 29, 2005, left emotional, physical, spiritual, and environmental scars upon our minds, bodies, and spirits. The desolation left in the aftermath has created a sort of historical trauma among Westerners. This has prompted a consciousness shift within the mental health counseling field and other allied helping professions. Since 9/11, there have been a multitude of other catastrophic events that have required the direct and indirect interventions of mental health counselors. Indeed, medical and physical interventions by first responders are critical for survival. The psychological first aid and mental health rescue in the aftermath and recovery phase are critical in working with individuals, families, and communities that have experienced civil unrest, acts of terrorism, school shootings, workplace violence, and the unending natural events that keep the Earth out of balance, such as fires, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and droughts. There are many geographic regions of the planet that are not safe places to live. In part, many areas of the United States, as well as the world, have been destabilized by human engineering and climate change; hence, they are prone to natural disasters (e.g., hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes). Since World War II, person-made disasters have grown exponentially (e.g., war, civil unrest, genocide, ethnic cleansing) along with a host of biological pandemics (e.g., HIV/AIDS, Ebola, Zika viruses). Each of these catastrophic events requires a multitude of first responders to provide medical, physical, psychological, emotional, social, and psychosocial first aid. We are all impacted by critical incidents in the United States and abroad. Critical incidents are replayed on the nightly news, and we are all affected at some level of consciousness. As a consequence, many in the United States may be experiencing the emotional,

Option #1: Codification to Research a Complex Accounting Issue: The Case of Goodwill Impairment at Jackson Enterprises
 
Read the Case of Goodwill Impairment at Jackson Enterprises (link below). After reading the case study, answer the questions provided.
Financial reporting personnel at Jackson Enterprises (JE) are in the process of completing year-end activities, including necessary adjusting of entries to the consolidated financial statements. While JE has not previously believed it necessary to adjust its recognized goodwill from the Dynamic and ZD acquisitions, the valuation of goodwill is, nonetheless, a prominent concern in the closing process. Assume you are asked to research the financial statement issues surrounding the goodwill recorded for the Dynamic and ZD subsidiaries. 
Prepare a paper to address the questions below. In memorandum format, detail the issues involved, the judgements you made based on authoritative literature, and your recommendations for the direction of the goodwill valuation as it relates to Dynamic and ZD. In other words, does the evidence suggest further action is required in determining the appropriate valuation of goodwill? If so, what steps need to be taken?
Note: Remember that textbooks are not considered authoritative guidance in accounting research. 

Identify and cite the relevant topics/subtopics from the FASB  Accounting Standards Codification  for this case.
Identify the specific accounting issue that you believe needs to be initially addressed for JE’s consideration of goodwill regarding both Dynamic and ZD.
What does the qualitative evidence from the case indicate about whether JE should perform the two-step impairment test? In your response, identify specific factors discussed in the  Codification  and relate them to the information provided to you in the case.
Beyond the assessment of qualitative factors, what other evidence should be considered for the purpose of the analysis? What does this information suggest? For Dynamic, what do you think is the most appropriate fair value amount to use in assessing the fair value of this reporting unit? Explain. Why is this important?
Based upon the information provided above, should Dynamic and ZD be combined or separated for the purposes of the goodwill analysis? Explain. Why is this important?
Based upon your initial analysis, do you think the $200 million goodwill balance (i.e., the $150 million for Dynamic and the $50 million for ZD) is the appropriate valuation for goodwill on the December 31, 2014 balance sheet of JE?

Discuss how the SERVQUAL and CRM models can combine and work together to improve tourism service delivery. According to Masberg and colleagues, “to the customer, only service may distinguish a business from its competition” (Masberg, Chase, & Madlem, 2003, p. 19). While specific customer service jobs require different skills, building an overall customer-oriented organization may better meet customer expectations. Businesses can choose to implement tools to determine customer satisfactions levels, such as the SERVQUAL technique that compares customer perceptions of quality against customer expectations (Morrison, 2010). The text explores the reasons good customer service is critical to our industry. And with the acronym RATER, we now understand the basics of what a customer might expect from an organization. Together, these concepts can form the basis of a customer relationship management (CRM) strategy for tourism and hospitality businesses.

Assignment Background: Drawing from what we learned in class, you will design two measures for the K-12 Teacher Training program. Specifically, you will design reaction and result measures. Reaction Measure. This is a measure the teachers from your K-12 Teaching program would complete immediately after attending the training program your group designed. Results Measure. This is a measure the school (likely the principal) would evaluate 3-6 months after the teachers completed the K-12 Teaching program designed by your team. Directions: Please answer the following FOUR questions about the K-12 Teacher Training Program (designed by your team). 1. Reaction Measure. 1a. Define reaction measure, and describe why it’s useful to evaluate a training program.1b. Describe TWO advantages of using reaction measures and TWO disadvantages of using reaction measures.*Please cite any sources (e.g., textbook, article, website) used for this response. Failure to include citations will result in a loss of points. 2. Designing a Reaction Measure. Create a reaction measure (not exceeding 1 page) that the teachers would complete immediately AFTER the K-12 training program ends. The reaction measure should appear in a table. Remember, reaction measures are short, and it enables the trainer to determine what the participants enjoyed about the training. The reaction measure should not have any more than TEN questions. Further, it should include both closed-ended and open-ended questions. *Textbook Resource: Reaction measures are discussed on pps. 252 – 255 and an example of a reaction measure can be found on pp. 255 – Table 6.2 in the Noe textbook, 7th edition).

The contractor California use for billing was attacked with ransomware, which lead to the data breach. Approximately 38 million records were compromised but since some people own multiple vehicles, less people were affected. According to the article I read, the breach included at least 20 months worth of records, dating back to August 2019. The information obtained from the hackers include drivers names, addresses, license plate numbers, and vehicle identification numbers (VIN). Per the the DMV, social security numbers, immigration status, and date of births were not included. The DMV has since stopped sharing information with the company and have gotten the FBI involved in the investigation. Since the California DMV was previously hacked in 2019, I believe the biggest failure on their part was ensuring any third party company they used was protected. I realize there isn’t a surefire way to prevent data breaches but for the DMV to be hacked twice in such a short period of time leads me to believe they do not take the protection of their customers information very seriously. Maybe instead of outsourcing their billing department, they should create jobs by internalizing it. At minimum, they should do a better job of screening all third party companies to ensure they have the technology to prevent any other breaches. The unfortunate thing about this breach is that people have to do business with the DMV. If you own a vehicle and want to drive it in the state of California, you have to register it through the DMV. Unlike other businesses, you can choose to discontinue business with them if your information is leaked. That’s not an option with government agencies such as the DMV. Source:Joshua Bote.
