Your goal in this assignment is to: 1) identify the main ideas from the supplemental article and 2) extend the ideas by adding your own observation or speculation using the assigned class film as a source. You MUST demonstrate that you 1) have read the article and understand the findings, 2) then discuss connections with the film and how it extends (or does not extend) the ideas presented, and 3) Pose a question or further point for discussion that may prompt others to think (and to which your classmates may respond). Some possible ways to link the article and the film are presented below, but of course, these are not the only ways to respond, feel free to structure as works for you. Also, please note that the blanks in the examples below are not meant as spaces for words, but rather as spaces for thoughts (multiple sentences). A good post is typically between 200 and 300 words:

The film complemented the argument made in the article (on pages ____), that __________________, however it also added more information in that it included _________. This pushes the ideas presented in the article by _________. One question this brings up for me is about the relationship between ____________ that was discussed in the book and was seen in the article, how might this be different in communities where __________ and what might this mean for how children learn ______?

The film showed _____________, which was not something that had been examined in depth in the article, however -on page ___ the authors did suggest that something similar to this might take place in other contexts, such as _______. This phenomenon of ______________ does seem to be congruent with the larger theoretical argument that __________. Do you think the theory is wrong, or is it the case that the theory may be related to what was possible in a world without social media and electronic communication? Is the theory of __________ still relevant in the digital context in which many children are growing up?

The article and film do not seem to agree on some central issues, specifically the idea that ______________ is related to __________ in development. This may be because the article was focusing specifically on ___________ while the film’s focus included_________________.

For this assessment, select two theorists who focus on motivation and write a paper in which you describe their theories and explain how the theories represent an advancement over previous models.  Preparation  First, select two theorists from the lists below. You may select two individuals who focus on the same area of motivation, or you may select two theorists who focus on different areas.  Area of Motivation: Instinct theories. Theorists: Darwin, Freud. Area of Motivation: Need or personality theories. Theorists: Maslow, Murray, Cattell. Area of Motivation: Drive or learning theories. Theorists: Hull, Watson, Skinner.

In your paper, complete the following:  Describe the theories. Identify the theorist associated with the model, the category (area of motivation) of each theory, and the essential elements that comprise each theory. Assess any problems, conflicts, or unresolved issues in the theories. Explain what differentiates each theory from the other. Describe how each theory does or does not address the biological, cognitive, and learned components of motivation. Place the theories within a historical context by explaining why each theory was an improvement on preceding theories in this area of motivation and behavior. Discuss which theory best informs or describes your personal behavior and why. Consider how the theory relates to you and whether it helps explain why you do some of the things you do.

Scenario: Team Performance

You are part of an organizational team. For the three years prior to a new member joining the team, performance was high. In the year after the new member joined, performance has gone down. The new team member has a slower than usual growth curve. A few months after being employed, the existence of a minor medical issue made it possible for the new team member to avoid some responsibilities. Since that time, the team’s workload has also increased. It would seem as though the team is overworked at this point, and it is starting to take its toll on the team’s overall performance and motivation.

For the first paragraph of your post, address any one of the following bullet points. Where possible, select a different bullet point than others have been selecting (i.e., we should try to spread the bullet points out so that each is getting equal attention during the discussion.)

 

What stage of team performance would you consider this team to be currently in? Why? What should be done to move the team to the next stage of development or to a healthier stage of development?

 

Looking at this situation, explain what intrinsic and extrinsic motivations may be influencing the change in team performance?

 

Describe what is happening at the individual level within the team. What are some of the task and relational dynamics affecting the team?

For the second paragraph of your post, choose one of the following bullet points. Where possible, select a different bullet point than others have been selecting (i.e., we should try to spread the bullet points out so that each is getting equal attention during the discussion).

 

If you were the team leader in this situation, and you had the opportunity to make changes, what are some of the changes you would recommend?

 

Would it be a good idea to solicit input from the team members in regard to finding a solution? Why or why not? What would be the advantages and dangers?

 

What could be the significant problems for the team and its members if the performance continues to decrease? Explain what the team leader’s role is in ensuring this does not happen.

The final paragraph of your post (3 to 4 sentences) should summarize the one or two main points that you are attempting to make in your post.

Provide a one-page analysis of the zone of possible agreement for the negotiation by projecting a price or resource matrix for the other party in the negotiation and integrating it with the price matrix for your role.

Preparation and Information Sharing

This course has major project assignments due in Week 3 and Week 5. It will take more than a week’s effort to adequately complete them. Plan time to start the research and work on those assignments earlier than the week in which they are due.

The second piece of the course project gives you the opportunity to engage in the first two stages of the negotiation process. The first two stages relate to preparation and information exchange. Additionally, you will be gaining insight into your authentic self in the negotiation process, practicing behaviors for building greater other awareness, and refining your use of negotiation tools.

Preparation and Information Sharing

Tasks:

  • Begin this segment of your final project with a one-paragraph introduction that summarizes the negotiation scenario, purpose, and participants.
  • Provide a one- to two-page evaluation of responses to the seven fundamental questions (SFQs) (detailed earlier in the course material) for your negotiation scenario.
  • Provide a one-page assessment of a price matrix for your role (e.g., buyer) in the negotiation. How did you determine the various pieces of your matrix? If the primary issues of the negotiation are not related to a price, provide a resource matrix of the primary issues. You may include a chart or a table as part of your presentation of a price matrix.
  • Provide a one-page analysis of the zone of possible agreement for the negotiation by projecting a price or resource matrix for the other party in the negotiation and integrating it with the price matrix for your role. How did you determine the other party’s matrix? You may include a chart or a table as part of your presentation of the zone of possible agreement.
  • Evaluate a best alternative to a negotiated agreement (BATNA) for both parties, including a discussion of the processes you used to determine the BATNAs. Also, analyze possible ways to strengthen your BATNA and to weaken the other party’s BATNA. Assess the leverage available in the negotiation. Your discussion of BATNAs should be one to two pages.
  • Finally, analyze the information-sharing process in the negotiation. How was information shared? What was the climate of the information-sharing stage? What were the various interests and the data that emerged from the information exchange, and how might they impact the negotiation process and the potential outcome? What information was not shared, and how does that impact the negotiation process and outcome? The discussion of information sharing should be two to three pages.

Submission Details:

  • Submit your answers in a 6 page APA format paper
