Learning Outcome: Demonstrate mastery of course concepts via ability to speak about your research topic.
Overview:
Now that you’ve completed the International Current Issues Paper, it’s time to present your work and findings in a concise verbal presentation. You’ve synthesized the information you’ve provided and made sure that you briefly explained what the concepts mean. Your audience will be any/the organization that has asked you to help them solve this intercultural issue, so you must make sure that they understand what you are presenting in verbal format.
Make sure your 3-5-minute presentation has an opening/introduction with preview of key points; a body that discusses your points in an organized fashion (focusing on three points is usually best – think of these as the three takeaways for your audience); and a conclusion that summarizes the recommendations you made in your paper.
Record yourself giving this presentation (and integrate and utilize 3-5 PowerPoint slides to keep you focused) via your computer, phone, tablet, etc. and upload the video file here in Canvas or upload to YouTube (or any other video file share program/outlet).
You can upload the link or the video file to your presentation here, inside Canvas, or send me your “unlocked” “non-private” YouTube video link to my email address at **********************

When an organization looks at competitive differentiation, costs of doing business, they do SWOT and SOFT analyses, all as a part of determining the strategic direction of the business. As the leader of the organization’s human resources department, you will be developing your own strategy, which will provide direction to your group on how your team will support the overall goals of the company.
You work for a small-box retailer that’s a little late getting into the ecommerce space. Now, the company wants to move quickly from a “bricks-and-mortar” only approach to one that embraces omnichannel retailing. Why? Because the competition is eating their lunch!
Currently, the company’s website is barely a page or two. One page features an “about the company” area and a list of store locations. As an HR leader, you have a recruiting page on it and a link to your application system, but that’s about it. Ecommerce and omnichannel retailing seem light years away, but the company’s five-year plan calls for it to be up and running in short order.
Discussion Prompt
We know you’re not an ecommerce professional or a retail professional and, hey, you’ve only gotten into the second module of HR management. That aside, we still think you have what it takes to help save this company! You’re going to use what you know about human resources strategy planning—that is, attracting talent, building high performance work organizations and aligning people with the business—to support the company’s efforts to get into omnichannel retailing.
Write down at least three ideas and plans for each one of those strategic areas. Research other companies that are getting into or trying to get into the ecommerce space to support your ideas and try to anticipate issues for your company by understanding what others have experienced. Post this as your initial post in the M1D1 Discussion NLT Midnight on Friday of the week assigned.  For the remainder of the week, reply to at least two of your classmates providing comments and/or suggestions on their posts.
I NEED THE POST IN 150 WORDS AND PT TWO WILL BE RESPONSES IN 50 WORD TO BOTH THAT I WILL UPLOAD WHEN PT 1 IS DONE

Name one healthcare setting example of application software for personal, work group, and enterprise use. Next, describe the related business objectives each address. Why did you select this application software? Do you see this as something you could potentially work with in your career?
Justify your responses and be sure to correctly cite and reference your sources.

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapters 1, 2, and 3 in your Foundations of Marketing textbook. Additionally, read the article How to Use Ethical Marketing to Attract the Right AudienceLinks to an external site..
The marketing environment, which includes competitive, economic, political, legal and regulatory, technological and sociocultural forces, surrounds the customer and the marketing mix. These forces can create threats to marketers, but they also generate opportunities for new products and new methods of reaching customers. These forces can fluctuate quickly and dramatically.
In your initial post,
Discuss whether a marketer has control over these environmental forces.
Explain how a marketing strategy is important for meeting customer needs.
Explain using a real-world example the importance of corporate social responsibility in the development of marketing strategies.

This is a 3 part asssignment. It is one essay but split into 3 different parts each with a reference page. 
Part 1 of Organizational Reframing Paper – Due end of week 5
Select an organizational unit with which you have a depth of familiarity (e.g., an office you work
in/have worked in, an organization in which you are actively involved). Briefly describe the unit, including the
mission, purpose, and salient organizational elements of the site. Also, introduce the primary issue(s) or
problem(s) that you plan to examine. If there are no “glaring” issues, you might situate your analysis in terms of
improving existing structures or systems. Part 1 should be 3-4 pages in length. Part 1 will be the first part of your
final deliverable. Remember to include a title page and start your reference page following APA guidelines. You
will add to the reference page as you fully develop your paper with Parts 2 and 3
Part 2 
Analyze the organization you chose in Part 1 by applying a primary frame that you think fits your
unit and a secondary frame (frame you think provides important information about your unit, but less than the
primary metaphor) from the Bolman and Deal text. The primary frame you choose should make up most of your
analysis, while the secondary frame will serve as an alternate lens for your analysis. Thus, you should discuss
your secondary frame in less depth than your primary frame. You should also discuss where the frames fall short
in your context. Part 2 should be an additional 4-5 pages. Be sure to review the rubric so that you fully meet the
criteria.
Part 3
Examine the role that organizational culture within the unit may play in attempts to address the
issues or problems identified in Part 1. Offer recommendations for courses of action that your unit could take to
address the issues you identified and illuminated through the frames. Recommendations that stem clearly from
the analysis (Part 2) are most desirable. Imagine that you were going to submit the recommendations to
members of the unit you are analyzing, even though you obviously will not be doing so. This part might lend
itself well to bullet points, a chart(s), or a diagram to succinctly capture your recommended course(s) of action.
You should be able to complete Part 3 in about 3 pages. Be sure to review the rubric so that you fully meet the
criteria

Begin researching your selected company (Red Bull) and its industry from a marketing perspective. Gather information about the company’s historical background and product range. 

Sending follow-up thank you notes and emails is very important in business communication.  Customers, colleagues and other correspondents appreciate it when you thank them.  Many employers expect a thank you email after giving you an interview.  Thus, if you fail to send a note, you may lose the job.  
Remember you cannot view your classmates’ posts until you enter your post.
Discussion Board Steps
Part A:
For this discussion board, you will write and post a thank you note to your potential employer. Before starting, be sure to read the Resume and Cover Letter Assignment in this module and choose a specific job and employer.
Next, assume that your resume and cover letter were polished enough to get you an interview. You just got home after this interview and immediately begin to craft your thank you email. Be sure to address the note to a specific person and use an appropriate subject line.   You may make up additional details to fit the scenario, as needed.  
See pages 395-386 in your textbook for a few pointers about thank you messages. Remember to state something specific and positive about the interview, such as a particular area that interested you. You should also take the opportunity to emphasize a skill set that demonstrates your ability to perform the job.

Select a television infomercial. Evaluate the presentation using the following questions:
Does the presenter deliver information clearly and engage the audience? Does the infomercial fulfill its purpose—to convince the audience to buy the product?
Does the presenter use visual aids effectively? How?
Is the presenter’s vocal delivery effective? Why or why not?
Is the presenter’s body language effective? How does the presenter use body language to connect with the television audience and to emphasize the product’s value?
What is an infomercial on television?
An infomercial is a longer-form video or television advertisement that acts as a stand-alone program to pitch a good or service with a call to action. Infomercials are different from regular commercials because they last longer and have no breaks in the program.
Essential Activities:
Select an Infomercial: Infomercials, Inc.
