Case Assignment
After reading the required materials on social media found on the Background page for this module and your own library research, prepare a  4- to 5-page paper addressing the following:
Discuss the influence social media has (or could have) on HRM success.
What are the challenges of HRM professionals using social media to learn about current and potential employees?
The Wright article talks about how Facebook recruits. Bring in three other real-life, private sector employers (by name from your readings/research) and discuss their approaches to social media in the HRM context.
Use  at least 5 sources from the Trident library.
Assignment Expectations
Demonstrate critical thinking and analysis of the relevant issues and HRM actions, drawing on your background reading and research.
Information Literacy: Evaluate resources and select only library/Web-based resources that provide reliable, substantiated information.
Give authors credit for their work. Cite sources of borrowed information in the body of your text as footnotes or numbered end notes, or use APA style of referencing.
Prepare a paper that is professionally presented (including a cover page, a list of references, headings/subheadings, and a strong introduction and conclusion). Proofread carefully for grammar, spelling, and word-usage errors.

Strategy, Financing, HRIS, and Putting It All Together
For this module’s SLP assignment, you will prepare a PowerPoint presentation that is similar in content to what an entrepreneur would present to a group of potential investors. You will cover only one area of your Business Plan that the potential investors have concerns about: a strategic financing plan. 
Prepare a PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes as if you were giving the presentation to an audience of potential investors. Be sure to review the background material, especially the material on strategy and financing.
Your presentation will include slides that cover your response to the investors’ question: Describe the strategic analysis of your proposed business venture and answer the question of what type and amount of financing you seek.
Your presentation should be at least six slides (not counting title and reference slides) using at least two high quality peer-reviewed references from the background material and outside references as needed. Your presentation must include speaker notes at the bottom of each slide in the notes section. (Recall that your slides should contain 5 words and a picture on each slide. All the other words you want to put on the slides go on the notes pages.)
Add appropriate artwork and backgrounds to make the slides visually appealing to a professional audience of investors. For example, although I prefer brightly colored backgrounds, I would not use those colors with this type of presentation audience unless your business is in an appropriately creative industry. For instance, if you want to open a modern art museum, it is acceptable to have artistic slides. On the other hand, if you are looking for funding for an online company that sells medical devices, you would want to remain “business professional.”
Keys to the Assignment
· Your presentation should be prepared in a professionally manner, as if you were making a presentation to potential investors.
· Your PowerPoint presentations must include speaker notes.
· Explain your analysis using terminology and concepts introduced in this module.
· Include a title slide and reference slide with your assignment submission.
· Cite all sources and provide a reference list using APA format.
· Use headings to organize the Marketing Plan by section. (APA guidelines require headings in all papers.)
· Presentations should be edited and error-free.
· Submit your assignment to TLC by the due date for this module.
· For instruction on writing papers, citing sources, proper referencing, and so forth, use Trident University’s  Introduction to APA-7th Edition .
SLP Assignment Expectations
Your presentation will be evaluated using the criteria in the SLP rubric. The following is a review of the rubric criteria:
Assignment-Driven: Does the paper fully address all aspects of the assignment? Is the assignment addressed accurately and precisely using sound logic? Does the paper meet minimum length requirements?
Critical Thinking: Does the paper demonstrate graduate-level analysis, in which information derived from multiple sources, expert opinions, and assumptions has been critically evaluated and synthesized in the formulation of a logical set of conclusions? Does the paper address the topic with sufficient depth of discussion and analysis?
Business Writing: Is the essay logical, well organized and well written? Are the grammar, spelling, and vocabulary appropriate for graduate-level work? Are section headings included? Are paraphrasing and synthesis of concepts the primary means of responding, or is justification/support instead conveyed through excessive use of direct quotations?
Effective Use of Information: Does the submission demonstrate that the student has read, understood, and can apply the background materials for the module? If required, has the student demonstrated effective research, as evidenced by student’s use of relevant and quality sources? Do additional sources used provide strong support for conclusions drawn, and do they help in shaping the overall paper?
Citing Sources: Does the student demonstrate understanding of APA Style of referencing, by inclusion of proper citations (for paraphrased text and direct quotations) as appropriate? Have all sources (e.g., references used from the Background page, the assignment readings, and outside research) been included, and are these properly cited? Have all sources cited in the paper been included on the References page?
Timeliness: Has the assignment been submitted to TLC (Trident’s learning management system) on or before the module’s due date?

Strategy, Financing, HRIS, and Putting It All Together
Case Assignment
For this final module, you will draw on the background readings in all four modules.
In addition to correcting each previous Business Plan component, review the information about financing options and also about competitive strategies and select the one you want to employ in your new business venture. Your options to select from are: 

Narrow market scope

Segmentation Strategy

Broad market scope

Differentiation Strategy

Cost Leadership

Uniqueness competency

Low cost competency

Empirical research on the profit impact of marketing strategy indicates that firms with a high market share are often quite profitable, but so are many firms with low market share. The least profitable firms are those with moderate market share. This is sometimes referred to as the “hole-in-the-middle” problem.
Porter explains that firms with high market share are successful because they pursue a cost-leadership strategy, and firms with low market share are successful because they employ market segmentation or differentiation to focus on a small but profitable market niche. Firms in the middle are less profitable because of the lack of a viable generic strategy.

Behaviorally anchored rating scales (BARS) directly assess performance  behaviors. The BARS method depends on critical incidents or short descriptions of effective and ineffective behaviors that ultimately produce a number value. The assessor is responsible for rating the specific behaviors of an employee based upon the behavioral expectations that are provided as anchors. When rating the employee, most employers prefer to also provide written feedback for why the employee received a specific rating.
“Typically, supervisors rate several performance dimensions using BARS and score an employee’s overall job performance by taking the average value across all the dimensions” and “because the critical incidents convey the precise kinds of behaviors that are effective and ineffective, feedback from BARS can help an employee develop and improve over time.”

1. Expresses ideas clearly and concisely.
2. Answers questions completely and precisely. Speaks with a voice that exhibits an appropriate command presence.
3. Relates thoughts in an organized manner. Gives concise answers to questions. Demonstrates effective active listening behaviors (e.g., leans forward, nods in agreement, repeats statements back, verbalizes understanding).
4. Clearly enunciates words. Attentively leans forward.
5. Voices ideas randomly or several at a time.
6. Interrupts others inappropriately. Excessive use of filler words, phrases (umm, like I said, etc.)
7. Fails to listen to questions asked by role player(s). Uses incorrect words or grammar in responding to questions.
8. Takes too long without making a point.
9. Uses profanity.
Problem Analysis & Resolution: Ability to critically evaluate a situation, gather and analyze relevant information, identify underlying issues, assess alternative solutions, and to consider the implications of problems and potential solutions.
1. Identifies possible resources to resolve problem. Deals with problems before they worsen.
2. Ensures a follow up plan is established. Develops alternative approaches to deal with the problem. Verbalizes the impact on the organization as a whole (morale, operations, budget, etc.). Thoroughly considers relevant information.
3. Provides feasible solutions; considered feasibility of alternatives. Makes suggestions for resolving the problem.
4. Assures adherence to standards.
5. Is unable to support conclusions with facts or logic.
6. Fails to consider alternatives.
7. Considers only a portion of the available information. Abdicates responsibility, blames others.

SLP 2 Assignment:
· Following the examples above, create a similar BARS instrument (based on your current position) with at least FIVE different areas of assessment. Meet with a colleague or supervisor to have him or her evaluate your behaviors. Discuss the results with your colleague/supervisor to figure out where you scored highest and where you scored lowest.
· Write a paper discussing the following issues:
· Your results
· The process you went through
· How your instrument can be adjusted for optimal results
· What the strengths and weaknesses of BARS are
· How the feedback from the BARS can help an individual improve over time
· How BARS compares to two other performance appraisal processes
· Other recommendations you may have
This pragmatic approach will help you get into the routine of continuously being evaluated. You will submit both the BARS instrument that you created and the paper.
Bring in  at least 2 library sources to help strengthen your discussion.
Your paper should be  at least 2-3 pages, (not including the cover sheet and reference list). Deal with these issues in an integrated fashion, not as a series of individual questions.

An important aspect of supporting students in literacy efforts is involving students’ families, first by sharing knowledge about the process of learning to read and the reading problems children can experience, and also by explaining the interventional and instructional strategies that can be used in school and at home to help bridge literacy gaps.
Scenario: In your role as a literacy coach, you have been asked to develop an informational presentation geared toward parents/families of students in the elementary school.
Create a 10- to 12-slide presentation in which you address the following components: 
· Describe the stages of reading development.
· Describe the stages of writing development.  
· Explain how an understanding of the reading-writing connection will impact your instruction.
· Describe 5 examples of common reading difficulties and their signs or symptoms. Include dyslexia as one of the five examples.
· Recommend specific strategies for parents and families to help students with reading and writing development. Address the 5 domains of reading (phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension) in your selection of strategies. 
· Provide at least 3 online resources or applications that can support your recommended strategies. Explain how parents and families might use those resources at home to support their child’s literacy development.
Include the following in your presentation:
· Detailed speaker notes 
· A title slide, an introduction, a conclusion, and a reference slide 
· In-text citations and references cited according to APA guidelines

The less likely developed a relationship is, the more likely it is to dissolve. Relationships between acquaintances, casual friends, coworkers, and neighbors will probably end at some point. The first sign that a relationship is deteriorating is a subtle indication of dissatisfaction. The partners may feel less connected to each other, begin to share fewer activities and communicate less frequently. The communication in deteriorating relationships is marked by three stages: recognition of dissatisfaction, disengaging, and at times, ending.
Create a scenario in which you provide dialogue that indicates that a relationship is deteriorating. Explain your scenario in a paragraph of at least six sentences. Type your work in Times New Roman font 12 and submit it to me here.

***THIS ASSIGNMENT IS A POWERPOINT SLIDE PRESENTATION**** 5-6 slides!!

****RUBRIC ATTACHED IN FILES!!***

This assignment is for my advanced nurse practitioner course. So, the affected organization/workplace would be a hospital or any healthcare organization.

It is one of the most cliché of clichés, but it nevertheless rings true: The only constant is change. As a nursing professional, you are no doubt aware that success in the healthcare field requires the ability to adapt to change, as the pace of change in healthcare may be without rival.
As a professional, you will be called upon to share expertise, inform, educate, and advocate. Your efforts in these areas can help lead others through change. In this Assignment, you will propose a change within your organization and present a comprehensive plan to implement the change you propose.

o Prepare:
Review the Resources and identify one change that you believe is called for in your organization/workplace.
This may be a change necessary to effectively address one or more of the issues you addressed in the Workplace Environment Assessment you submitted in Module 4. It may also be a change in response to something not addressed in your previous efforts. It may be beneficial to discuss your ideas with your organizational leadership and/or colleagues to help identify and vet these ideas.

Reflect on how you might implement this change and how you might communicate this change to organizational leadership.
The Assignment (5-6-minute narrated PowerPoint presentation):
Change Implementation and Management Plan
Create a 5- or 6-slide narrated PowerPoint that presents a comprehensive plan to implement changes you propose. 
Your narrated presentation should be 5–6 minutes in length.
Your Change Implementation and Management Plan should include the following:
An executive summary of the issues that are currently affecting your organization/workplace (This can include the work you completed in your Workplace Environment Assessment previously submitted, if relevant.)
A description of the change being proposed
Justifications for the change, including why addressing it will have a positive impact on your organization/workplace
Details about the type and scope of the proposed change
Identification of the stakeholders impacted by the change
Identification of a change management team (by title/role)
A plan for communicating the change you propose
A description of risk mitigation plans you would recommend to address the risks anticipated by the change you propose
