Case Assignment
Cross-Functional Management and Organization Behavior
HR/Team Dynamics, Leadership, and Organizational Culture were prevalent themes in earlier coursework. Connecting those concepts to Strategic Management is the focus of Case 1.
Strategic management is a complex discipline and requires tools and resources across departments. Research how it all works together to optimize performance and productivity in a culturally diverse environment. Use quality research published within the last year. Articles from the library databases are a good choice. Library databases allow searching by date. In Google search, click “Tools” and enter the date range.
Explore the role of the overall management function. Include work from home (WFH) and hybrid schedules in the coverage. (1 page).
How does marketing fit in the scenario? Consider social media implications in the workplace. (1 page).
Connect how managerial economics supports the process. Look at trends like unemployment, reskilling, and the Great Resignation. (1 page).
Consider the function of data analysis in the process. Include information on how data is used by managers. (1 page).
Explore accounting and finance tools that are integral to achieving the performance and operational productivity goals. Consider how benchmarking is addressed. (1 page).
Include a discussion of workplace diversity as a consideration. (1 page).
Making Connections
Explain how Strategic Management provides a foundation for the cross-functional teams to collaborate for the benefit of the organization. (1 page).
Each of the seven sections above must have research support (published in the last year).
No quotations are permitted in this paper. Since you are engaging in research, cite and reference the sources in APA format. NOTE: Failure to use research with accompanying citations to support content will result in reduced scoring “Level 2-Developing” across the grading rubric. This is a professional paper, not a personal one based on feelings. It must be written in the third person. This means words like “I,” “we,” and “you” are not appropriate.
Assignment Expectations
Use the attached APA-formatted template (MGT599 Case 1) to create your submission.
The template is set up in APA 7: double-spacing, font, margins, headings, page breaks, APA help links.
Your submission will include:
Trident University International’s cover page
A paper with APA citations (2- to 3-sentence introduction, 7-page body, 2- to 3-sentence conclusion)

“Pressures and Challenges: The Need for Innovation in Ethiopian Universities”
Abstract
Rapid economic, social, and
technological changes affecting the entire world have not spared universities,
which are under increasing pressure from students and their parents who are
demanding more value for money. Furthermore, international competition among
universities is picking up steam. As a result, many universities around the
world are experimenting with and adopting new technologies in order to gain more
customers and funds. Many Ethiopian universities are well-known around the
world as prestigious research institutions. However, if they remain idle, their
prestigious positions are likely to dwindle over time. The topic of innovation
has received a lot of attention in recent years, as some innovative companies
have achieved quite remarkable results by manufacturing innovative products and
providing innovative services. Little emphasis has been placed on innovation
and how universities can capitalize on it. One possible explanation for the
failure to do so is that many universities were enjoying their usual stream of
students and government funding. However, this is changing as a result of
increased tuition fees, and recent governmental policies have resulted in
further funding cuts. Employee well-being and the work environment are two
important factors that are almost always linked to innovation. However, as this
study shows, there are numerous pressures placed on members of staff in
Ethiopian universities. As a result, unless these pressures and issues are
addressed, it is unlikely that any innovation will occur.

Title: The Winner’s Curse and the Footbridge Dilemma: A Reflection on Decision-Making and Emotions.
Part I: Recall a time when you experienced a winner’s curse. Perhaps you purchased something for what you thought was a great price but quickly (or later) realized it was not. Perhaps the quality was lower than you thought it was. ?
What were your feelings at the time of the purchase when it seemed like such a good deal? Compare your initial feelings to what you felt later when realizing that it was not what you thought.?
Part II: In Chapter 6, you were introduced to the footbridge dilemma, where it prompted you to make a choice of pushing one person in front of a trolley to stop the trolley in order to save the five people farther up the line on the track. What would you do in this situation? What would your motivations be? How would your emotions affect your decision?? -
“Annotated Research Bibliography for CAA Topic” Annotated Bibliography: Sources on Academic Integrity in Higher Education
This week you will prepare and submit an annotated research bibliography. This bibliography should reflect the research you have begun to undertake in connection with your CAA topic. You are encouraged to use the Zotero software to help you complete this assignment.
Before beginning your work on this assignment, it is important that you familiarize yourself with the correct format and construction for an annotated bibliography. Please review the Week 07 Instructional Materials, which will help you learn how to define and write an annotated bibliography. You also should review the Instructional Materials on annotated bibliographies in your PPD 506 class, which offer more complete explanations of the various approaches to annotated bibliographies. Finally, you may find these samples helpful:
Sample Annotated Bibliography.pdf Sample Annotated Bibliography 2.pdf
This assignment requires you to do three things: 1) extend your research for the CAA beyond the sources you used for your project proposal (Week 06), 2) compile your research into a properly formatted reference list, and 3) use your reference list to create a properly formatted annotated bibliography to submit for credit. This process will help you begin to develop sources of data, facts, and/or information related to your CAA topic.
This will be a beginning reference list drawn from biographic materials, news and media clips, course readings, outside academic readings, news magazines, and academic journals related to your chosen topic, including the problem or situation, key public figures, related actors, and relevant academic concepts and theories. This list will form the basis for the references that you will draw upon and include with the problem definition, literature review, and case analysis submissions. This list may be edited, revised, and expanded during the course of completing the CAA assignments.
You will need to research both the “practical” literature (news reports, meeting minutes, government reports, social media, etc.) and conceptual literature (academic journals and papers, books, and so forth) that can provide information about the decision, the key decision maker, the context of the decision, the organization involved, the timeline of the decision, and the related actors who were important to the key decision maker or in making the decision along with insights about the structure, culture, and management craft elements at play in the decision.
Be sure to include a well-rounded list that includes information from a number of sources (not all webpage links, for example, or all news articles written by a single journalist) and from multiple viewpoints. You will refine your research processes after receiving feedback from faculty and while developing your analytic essays, so this bibliography need not be totally comprehensive.
Part 1: Collect original research
Seek sources of information related to your CAA topic. You should build a collection of research holdings that includes a minimum of 12 references and no more than 18. You will enter these sources into your Zotero file.
Part 2: Create a reference list
Once you have collected your references, you will create a reference list that is formatted according to APA style and listed in alphabetical order according to author last name. See the OWL at Purdue for guidance.
Part 3: Create an annotated bibliography
Once you have created your reference list, you will annotate each entry in the list. Annotated bibliographies include the reference entry followed by a brief summary of the source’s key information – the points that are relevant to your purpose, which, in this case, is to analyze a decision by the key decision maker. In addition, each annotation should include a sentence or two that explains why the reference is valuable and what relevant or unique information this research provides to you about the decision and/or decision maker. How might you use this source in your project?
Each annotation should be somewhere between 75 and 200 words in length. Your entries should be written in the informative format and the paragraph writing style (see the Instructional Materials in your PPD 506 course). Do not provide indicative or evaluative information in your annotations.
All descriptions and annotations must be original work; any reprints of annotations, abstracts, or other information from university library systems, internet search engines, or database holdings are NOT acceptable for academic credit. It is NOT acceptable to copy and paste an abstract or other information from another source (including the abstract from the work itself), even if you cite it. You may include properly cited quotes from the work itself but the annotation must be original. Material that is “lifted” from another source will be considered plagiarism and deemed a violation of the University’s academic integrity policy.
Each entry in your submitted annotated bibliography should include an APA-formatted reference followed by a double-spaced annotation using the “hanging indent” format (see the sample annotated bibliographies linked above). Add an extra space between references. A minimum of 12 entries and no more than 18 must be included. Be sure to include useful academic literature as well as substantive research related to your case.
For this assignment only, you cannot include the Hill and Lynn text. You may use any of the other assigned reading from this class. You also may use sources from other classes if appropriate along with sources you gather through your own research. You will, of course, be able to draw on Hill and Lynn in all future CAA papers.
FORMAT: Submit 12 to 18 references in a properly formatted APA style bibliography (reference list). Reference entries are double spaced with a hanging indent with extra spacing in between entries. Entries should be organized alphabetically by author last name.
Refer to syllabus for grading rubric. -
Title: Reflection on Service-Learning and its Impact on Nursing Care and Social Justice
Background Information
Service-learning activities are a rich learning tool in higher education.
According to Dr. Stephanie Delaney (2015), students who participate in some form of community service tied to their coursework get more out of the material. They are also more likely to complete their degrees.
Instructions
Review the appropriate rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.
Consider your previous experience with service-learning.
Prepare to discuss the following prompts:
In light of what you have learned at IWU, has your attitude regarding your responsibility to care for the poor and at-risk changed? What changes will you be making in your nursing care because of what you learned at IWU?
Explain the term social justice by researching the subject. Your text will provide a good starting point. Cite and reference at least one professional source.
Write at least one SMART goal in reference to something you would like to change in the at-risk population you visited in your Service Learning activity(Word document).
State One NANDA Community Nursing Diagnosis(new tab) to go with your SMART goal, this should be an actual diagnosis, it should be written in the proper format as noted in the attachment having four distinct parts.
The approved NANDA Community Nursing Diagnoses are:
Ineffective Community Coping
Readiness for Community Coping
Deficient Community Health (best for any health concerns, e.g., if your at-risk population is low-income COPD residents in Wheeling, WV this would fit them nicely)
Write one outcome objective and three interventions you would use to meet your goal. As noted in the file SMART Goals, Objectives, Interventions, Stakeholders, and Nursing Diagnoses(Word document).
Must cite and reference a minimum of one scholarly source.
Write an initial response to the discussion prompts and post it to the discussion forum by the end of the fourth day. Your initial post should include four paragraphs and two sources correctly cited and referenced, to support your information. -
“The Impact of Divorce on Families and Family Systems in the United States: A Comprehensive Analysis”

“Money and Marriage: Exploring the Intersection of Love, Economics, and Inequality”
https://www.everydaysociologyblog.com/2020/02/money-and-marriage.html
^^^^^link to reference
In an Everyday Sociology blog post titled “Money and Marriage,” Karen Sternheimer examines the economics of marriage, looking at historical practices ranging from dowries and arranged marriages to contemporary rituals such as Valentine’s Day gifts. She draws upon recent research on marriage and cohabitation from the Pew Research Center, which concludes that while most married couples report marrying for love, more than half of cohabiting couples report that financial issues are keeping them from getting married.
Discuss the ways in which marriage relates to money. Based on this blog post, is there any way to separate the two? Discuss how romantic rituals like Valentine’s Day intertwine relationships with consumption and spending. How does this reflect and reproduce broader issues of economic inequality?
