Edit your Research Project to integrate feedback from the instructor.. After addressing feedback, add the following additions to your research proposal:

1. Add a section that discusses the issues related to organizational behavior and day-to-day management in your study setting;

(2-3 pages) In particular, discuss the principles of organizational behavior. Explain which of these principles are related to the study setting in your proposed research project. For example, can your study site be characterized as having a centralized or decentralized administration? This is a characteristic that can have a distinct impact on data collection and interpretation. After identifying which of the organizational behavior principles apply to your study site, explain the organizational culture in your setting in terms of individuals, groups, leadership, management, goals and values. How might this organizational culture impact your proposed data collection process and the interpretation of the information collected?

2. If you do not have it already, add/update a section that discusses the ethical considerations associated with your proposed study; 

(1-2 pages) Outline the steps that you would need to take to ensure that data collection was performed ethically and that human subjects would not be harmed in your proposed study. Be specific, explain the protections that you would put in place to ensure their safety and how you would inform study subjects of their rights and these protections.

3. Add a review of five additional research studies to the Literature Review section of the project.

(4 pages): Finally, review an additional five research studies on your topic and add the review of each to your Literature Review section. Do not use law review articles or non-peer reviewed media sources that do not report upon original research. Try to locate recent studies (completed in the last ten years) so that you can learn from the study results and use the information to inform your own data collection plan. 

 

The literature review should:

    a. Discuss the specific results or findings from each study reviewed;

    b. Address each study individually, as well as in comparison to the other studies reviewed;

    c. Point out trends you see in the literature;

    d. Synthesize your review into a summary of what is known and what is not known from the research that has been conducted on your topic;

    e. Identify any areas of controversy in the literature; and Formulate questions that remain to be studied in future research.

Lessons For Dealing With Age Diversity In Organizations

/in /by

 While generalizations can occasionally be problematic, there are arguably observable differences in attitudes and expectations related to employment and employers between employees from different generations and age groups.   Describe some of these differences and discuss how leaders can use their understanding of these differences to enhance the work experience for all employees and improve the performance of their organization.  

Can a leader adapt their leadership style as they deal with employees from different generations and age groups and, maybe just as important, should they? Lastly are there lessons here for a leader working with any diverse workforce?

Question:

This assignment is an opportunity to expand and build on ideas you explored in the Online Discussion Forum for this week’s Module 4.

You will use specific examples and make specific references to assigned readings (at least 3 different readings) and assigned videos (at least 3 different videos) in order to answer 6 (six)  questions of your choice from the following list of questions:

Which country benefited the most from colonialism? In what way?
Under the conditions of colonialism, why was it easy for the French to feel superior to the Vietnamese, and for the Vietnamese to resent the French?
What were the political, economic, and social costs of colonialism for both countries?
Which country seemed to pay more?
What arguments could each country have made to convince the other that either the benefits were good for both France and Vietnam if Vietnam remained under French rule, or the costs were too high for the French to maintain colonial rule over Vietnam?
Describe how the Vietnamese fight for independence was similar to other colonies struggles for independence from more powerful and domineering countries. For example, what similarities and differences do you see in Vietnams quest for independence from France and the American colonies break with Great Britain?
What historical facts are reported in the videos regarding French colonial history in Indochina.
How and why did Americans support France’s war with the Vietnamese known as the French Indochina War (1946-1954)?
How did the United States become militarily involved in Vietnam (through the Vietnam War 1961-1973) after the end of French colonial rule in Indochina (1887-1954)?
How are American and French histories linked through Vietnam?
Consider whether American and French television media productions are similar or different in the way they remember French colonial history?
When you write your reply, please be sure to cite the source from which you use the information you present.

Judical, Alternative and E-Dispute Resolution

/in /by

You are the manager at the Paint-a-Plenty, a small independently owned paint supply store in Upper Northeast Maryland.  Four weeks ago, one of your employees reported that there had been an incident on their shift where a customer had slipped and fallen when a small cup of coffee had been spilled near the cash register.  The coffee had been spilled by the customer immediately ahead of the customer who had slipped and fallen.  Since your employee was the only employee on duty at the time, he had finished the transaction for the customer, logged off the cash register, and asked the remaining customer to wait while he went to the back of the store to retrieve a mop to clean up the spill and warned the customer to avoid the spill.  When the employee returned, that customer was on the floor after slipping in the spilled drink.  Your employee offered to call an ambulance, but the customer declined and left the store to return to their car and drive away.
The owner called you into a meeting.  She just received a letter from an attorney for Mr. Lott A. Cashe, who is the customer who slipped and fell in your store.  Mr. Cashe is demanding that your store pay damages for the injuries he sustained when he slipped and fell in your store.  Mr. Cahse maintains that he has sustained back, neck, hip, knee, and ankle injuries as a result of this accident with medical bills of $2,240.  He states that he has missed work, incurring $2,500 in lost income.  He asserts that he has been unable to care for his four children on his own and has incurred $1,600 in paying for unanticipated child care.  He states that he has been unable to drive and has sustained $480 in hiring Uber to take him to necessary medical appointments.  Additionally, he claims that there are other miscellaneous expenses related to his injuries, as well as the pain and suffering and inconvenience that cannot be quantified, that he believes to be compensable at $3,000.  The total amount of damages he is demanding is $9,820.
The owner of Paint-a-Plenty has asked that you review Mr. Cashes demands and advise her as to how you think she should proceed since the incident happened on your watch and the owner knows you have taken a course in Business Law.  She has held a preliminary consultation with her attorney for one hour.  Her lawyer has estimated that the owner could make an immediate offer of settlement for the amount requested for no additional fee on her part. A negotiated settlement could require 20 30 hours of her time.  Taking the case to court could take 100 hours or more of her time in preparation and an additional 10 hours in court. The owners attorney charges $150 per hour, with a charge of $300 for court time.

Outline your advice to the owner on how she should respond to Mr. Cashes demands and explain your reasons for your advice.
