Key Assignment
For this assignment, select a real company in the fast food industry.
You have just been hired by (your selected company) as its new vice president of strategic planning. The corporation’s performance in recent years as well as the changes with business and economic conditions will be a central focus of your new job.
Given the size of the corporation and the fact that it is in a highly competitive industry, the chief executive officer (CEO) to whom you report has already given you permission to hire a staff of recent Master of Business Administration (MBA) graduates to assist you in your efforts. You recently completed the interviewing and hired four people with minimal real business experience.
In coming months, you and your team will be creating a completely new—and, presumably, more effective—strategic plan. You plan to begin by holding a kick-off meeting with your team.
Deliverable Length: 1,000–1,250 words
To feel confident that all of the employees in your strategic planning team understand all that you have taught them, you require each to prepare a streamlined version of the key elements of a strategic plan. You require each employee to prepare the following sections of a strategic plan for the corporation’s next 3-5 years:
Mission and Vision Statements (Simply copying from an existing real company is unacceptable.)
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-Bound (SMART) Goals and Objectives
Industry Analysis
Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats, and Trends (SWOTT) Analysis
A Perceptual Map
Choose any criteria that you think are important to plot.
Explain why you picked the criteria.
Your task is to create a plan, following the same parameters, which will be the sample standard that your employees’ submissions should match.

/in /by adminYou and your partner are the CEO and President of a large firm located in a busy downtown area. Your office uses a model that schedules all employees to work remotely from home some days, and work in the office other days–this schedule is such that there is never a day when all employees are in the office at the same time. For the past 10 years, your company has had a contract with the parking garage adjacent to the large office building where your firm is located and the owners of the parking garage have given your employees a deep discount. You recently learned that the building that houses the parking garage had been sold. When you contacted the new owners to negotiate a new contract, you were told that there would be no discounted contract for your employees as a whole. Individual employees will now have to make their own arrangements with the garage (or park elsewhere) and prices will be going up. These changes take effect next month. You must deliver this news at the end of the monthly, all-employee, virtual meeting. In your discussion, be certain to include considerations for employees with disabilities, as well as present some of the more environmentally friendly options such as carpooling, and public transportation.

solved KEY TERM : CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYTHREE ARTICLES ATTACHED, WHICH SHOULD
/in /by adminKEY TERM : CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITYTHREE ARTICLES ATTACHED, WHICH SHOULD BE THE ONLY REFERENCES/SOURCES MENTIONEDYour submission must include the following information in the following format: DEFINITION: a brief definition of the key term – (the definition should come from the article) SUMMARY: Summarize the article in your own words- this should be in the 150-200-word range. Be sure to note the article’s author,
note their credentials and why we should put any weight behind his/her opinions, research, or findings regarding the key term. DISCUSSION: Using 300-350 words, analyze the article as it relates to the selected key term. This is the most important part of the
assignment. Analyzing articles is an opportunity to delve into organizations to determine best practices. As pertains to Organizational
Theory, it is an opportunity to discover whether organizations engage in these types of business practices. Organizations in and of
themselves are just things. However, when you add people to them, they then become what are known as living and learning
organizations – aka knowledge organizations.
REFERENCE: The source for the analysis must be listed at the bottom of the submission – APA format required. Use only peerreviewed journal articles for these assignments. Refrain from using blogs, .com’s, or other unreliable internet sources.
A title page is required for these assignments. Use the APA Style 7 ed. student version guidelines to format the title page.
Be sure to use the headers (Definition, Summary, Discussion, Reference) in your submission to ensure that all aspects of the
assignment are completed as required. Any form of plagiarism, including cutting and pasting, will result in zero points for the entire
assignment. Further, any flagged documents will result in zero points for the assignment. Flagged documents mean that an attempt at
plagiarism exists, or manipulation of the Turnitin process has been attempted. This is unacceptable conduct and will not be tolerated. Do
not deviate from this format.
When analyzing articles think about the following:
1. What key term was chosen by the author?
2. What is the significance of this key term? 3. What are the theoretical underpinnings for why this key term was chosen?
4. What key finding did the author of the article discuss regarding the key term as it applies to organizations in regard to business
ethics? 5. What conclusion can you infer from the article?

/in /by adminI don’t understand this Business question and need help to study.
Machiavelli may be best known for his unscrupulous advice on leadership and power, but consider the ways in which his perspective on change speaks to a common-sense and timeless reality. Change is a constant fact of life, and yet it is rarely viewed as easy. But also consider the advances in change strategy in the nearly 500 years since Machiavelli penned those words. How do modern organizations work to reduce the “perilousness†of the change process and to increase the certainty of success? Addressing those questions will be a focus of the Discussion this week.
As this week’s chapters in the course text emphasize, organizations must be receptive to change in today’s competitive business environment. However, because change poses challenges—particularly when employees have to adapt quickly—managers must carefully weigh possible outcomes and ensure processes are in place to mitigate risk before implementing significant changes. In this Discussion, you will conduct research to identify an example of organizational change to analyze for process and outcomes, or you can draw on personal experience with organizational change to analyze for process and outcomes.
To prepare:
Based on your personal work experience, select the appropriate option for preparing your Discussion response:
Option A: Analyze a change strategy of an organization that has recently embarked on or completed an organizational change.
Conduct an Internet search to identify a current article on an organization that has recently embarked on or completed an organizational change. Analyze the organization’s change strategy for evidence of application of Lewin’s change model (Kinicki, 2021, pp. 332–333) or Kotter’s eight steps for leading organizational change (p. 335). Based on your understanding, how would the process of change influence the intended or actual outcome, as well as any additional outcomes?
Option B: Analyze an organizational change strategy you have been actively part of during your career.
Recall details of the initiative. Consider whether you can identify any of the stages of Lewin’s change model (Kinicki, 2021, pp. 332–333) or Kotter’s eight steps for leading organizational change (p. 335). How did the process of change influence the primary organizational outcome in terms of success or failure? Were there any additional, or secondary, outcomes?

This competency will allow you to demonstrate your understanding of deviance in the digital world and the changes to deviance that we see due to technological advances.
Instructions
You are working for a local department store in the Operations Department. Since you began working with this organization, you have noticed that your team members are more comfortable with technology. However, the available technology in the store has not been updated. It is also apparent to you that as technology has improved in our society, so has the types of deviant behaviors that occur, and you’re aware that deviant behaviors in both the physical world and in digital environments can impact business practices.
With the observations that you have made, you approach your boss who has also noticed an increase in deviant behaviors within society and has an overall concern about how the store can be impacted.
Because of his increasing concern about the impact of deviant behaviors on the store, and his knowledge of your familiarity with the subject, you are asked by your supervisor to create a video collage that will demonstrate your interpretation of deviance in the digital world and the impact it can have on the store you are working in. Your supervisor informs you that this video collage will be presented to your supervisor and colleagues in order to help you and the business determine the types of deviance that need to be addressed, and how to effectively manage it through daily operations. Your supervisor encourages you to use a variety of visual representations in order to captivate your audience and get your message across.
For this video collage, you are to reflect and address the following questions and information.
What is defined as deviant in the physical world?
What is defined as deviant in the digital or online world?
Compare and contrast deviance between the two environments.
Consider various forms of deviance in both the physical and virtual worlds, and explain how they impact society.
How would Conflict Theory define deviance?
How would Symbolic Interaction Theory define deviance?
How do the theories discussed impact the meaning or interpretation of deviance in a digital or online environment?
How do you envision that deviance in the virtual world, or deviance due to technological advances, can impact your store?
What are some ways to manage various forms of deviance in the day-to-day operations of your store?
solved In the principles that reflect hedonism and wanting to pursue
/in /by adminIn the principles that reflect hedonism and wanting to pursue an object with the hopes of itbeing able to provide the happiness that each individual desires, I would choose not to plug into themachine. The machine, theoretically built in order to produce the same outcome of what happensin real life but through a machine, is something that brings intrigue and curiosity when firstintroduced but for me, I think actually experiencing these things in the real world gives it muchmore authenticity and experience than just being plugged into the machine. For me, the pursuit ofactual happiness means living the life that we so rightfully deserve and want for ourselves and Ithink this can only be done by actually going out in the real world and getting to experience all thethings that life has to offer. With the experience machine, we would be able to do the same thing aswell as produce the same outcome but would the feeling actually still remain the same? Would plugging into the machine help us gain the real life experiences and happiness that we want toachieve? With the emerging technology today, it can be hard for many people to avoid theaddiction towards new tools and gadgets such as a virtual or augmented reality which holds thesame principles as the experience machine and for me, these gadgets that aim to give off the sameexperience that it does in the real world does not satisfy my lust for the authentic life experiencesthat help me learn and actually experience the real world. I would not choose to plug in becausethis kind of concept, although only theoretical, is something that I think for me is a challenge ofwhether or not I would choose to actually experience life by itself and actually learn through thetough times and challenges, or just live it all through being plugged into a machine. I choose to be brave and pursue the happiness that I deserve by actually experiencing what life has to offer through real and authentic experiences.1)For this assignment, I’d like you to re-write the essay you wrote on hedonism in Week 2 – the experience machine. But I’d like you to focus on making it clearer and simpler, using the technique of writing as though your audience is a 12-year old. The changes don’t have to be major – just revise in a way that you think improves the clarity of the writing.I will attach the handout on hedonism, so you can understand the essay. You can find the experience machine on the 3rd page, section B
