Each section needs to be atleast 1000 words each and use 3 references that are 2020 or newer.
A)
Chapter 4: How do you think planning in today’s
organizations compares to planning in an organization 25 years ago? Do you
think planning becomes more important or less important in a world where
everything quickly changes and crises are a regular part of organizational
life? Why?
Chapter 4: Is changing the organization’s domain a
feasible strategy for coping with a threatening environment? Can you think of
an organization in the recent news that has changed its domain? Explain.
Chapter 6: Compare the descriptions of the
transnational model described in Chapter 6 to the elements of the learning
organization described in Chapter 1. Do you think the transnational model would
work in a huge global firm?
How can/should a biblical worldview be applied?
B)
Chapter 7: Mass customization of products has become a
common approach in manufacturing organizations. Explain the ways in which mass
customization can be applied to service firms as well.
Chapter 7: A top executive claimed that superior
management is a craft technology because the work contains intangibles (such as
handling personnel, interpreting the environment, and coping with unusual
situations that have to be learned through experience). If this is true, is it
appropriate to teach management in a business school? Does teaching management
from a textbook assume that the manager’s job is analyzable and, therefore,
that formal training rather than experience is most important?
Chapter 8: Do you believe that technology will
eventually enable high-level managers to do their job with little face-to-face
communication?
Chapter 9: Look through several recent issues of a
business magazine (Fortune, BusinessWeek, Fast Company, etc.) and find examples
of 2 companies that are using approaches to busting bureaucracy. Explain the
techniques that these companies are applying.
Chapter 9: Do you believe that a no growth philosophy
of management should be taught in business schools?
How can/should a biblical worldview be applied?
C)
Chapter 10: Do you think it is possible for an
outsider to accurately discern about the underlying cultural values of an
organization by analyzing symbols, ceremonies, dress, or other observable
aspects of culture in comparison to an insider with several years of work
experience? Select a percentage (e.g., 10%, 70%, etc.) and explain your
reasoning.
Chapter 11: A noted organization theorist once said,
“Pressure for change originates in the environment. Pressure for stability
originates within the organization.” Do you agree?
Chapter 12: If managers frequently use experience and
intuition to make complex, non-programmed decisions, how do they apply
evidence-based management (which seems to suggest that managers should rely on
facts and data)?
Chapter 13: In a rapidly changing organization, are
decisions more likely to be made using the rational or political model of
organization?
What biblical implications should be
included/addressed?
How can/should a biblical worldview be applied?

Cultural Comparison Guide: Doing Business in the United States and [Selected Country]
Overview
Doing business in a foreign country can be fraught with pitfalls, from culturally inappropriate hugging to accidental obscene hand gestures. By researching and understanding the culture of a foreign country, you can better prepare yourself and your team to avoid mistakes and leverage cultural protocols to your advantage.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your knowledge of cultural competence from this week’s module resources to compare the culture of the United States with the culture of the country you chose in Milestone One. You will show how doing business can be very different from one country to another.
Prompt
Use the Module Two Assignment template located in the Guidelines for Submission section to create a cultural comparison guide between the country you selected for your course project and the United States. In Part One of the template, you will identify common information about both countries, including their cultural backgrounds and business etiquettes. In Part Two of the template, you will identify the six dimensions in the Hofstede model of national culture for both countries. In Part Three of the template, you will draw conclusions on how doing business in the country you selected will differ from doing business in the United States and tips for individuals doing business in your selected country.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Basic Country Facts: Identify government types, languages, and religions for both countries.
Business Etiquette: Identify common business etiquette in both countries (e.g., common greetings, differences in communication toward men and women, negotiating styles, and acceptable business attire).
Tips for Doing Business: Identify three tips you would give to individuals doing business in the non-U.S. country you selected. Tips could be about behaviors to avoid (e.g., items as innocent as posture or body language or attitudes regarding punctuality or approaches to business).

Conclusions: Conclude how doing business in your new country will differ from doing business in the United States. -
Title: Identifying Points of Difference: A Comparison of Customer Value Propositions and Positioning Strategies for Two Competing Brands
Topic: Points of Difference
One of the key concepts in crafting a value proposition and positioning is identifying points of difference. Kotler et al. (2022) describe points of difference as “attributes or benefits that differentiate the company’s offering from the competition.” For example, Visa® and American Express® are direct competitors. Visa’s point of difference in the credit card category is that it is the most widely available card. The benefit derived from Visa is convenience. American Express has built brand equity via the prestige associated with using its card.
Respond to the following:
Think of two distinct brands that compete directly with each other.
What is the customer value proposition for the two competitors?
Is this value proposition sustainable?
Identify the points of parity for each brand.
Develop a positioning statement for both brands based on your research. -

Case Analysis Background
Jamie Drout is interested in perceptions of gender stereotypes within beauty product advertising, which includes soap, deodorant, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, perfume, cologne, makeup, chemical hair color, razors, skin care, feminine care, and salon services; as well as the perceived benefits of empowerment advertising. Gender stereotypes specifically use cultural perceptions of what constitutes an attractive, acceptable, and desirable man or woman, frequently exploiting specific gender roles, and are commonly employed in advertisements for beauty products. Women are represented as delicately feminine, strikingly beautiful, and physically flawless, occupying small amounts of physical space that generally exploit their sexuality; men as strong and masculine with chiseled physical bodies, occupying large amounts of physical space to maintain their masculinity and power. In contrast, empowerment advertising strategies negate gender stereotypes and visually communicate the unique differences in each individual. In empowerment advertising, men and women are to represent the diversity in beauty, body type, and levels of perceived femininity and masculinity. Her project is focused on understanding consumer perceptions of these advertising strategies.
