    • Describe which variables will be included in the analysis and why
    • Identify the measures of association, parameter estimates, or other results, and describe how they will be interpreted

  • References

Use either your current position or a position that you would like to obtain to create job duties and at least three KSAOs (knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics).

 

Answer the following questions in 350 words for each KSAO:

 

  • Is the KSAO necessary prior to hiring, or can it be trained?
  • What is the importance of each characteristic relative to the others?
  • What is the approximate time the employee will spend on each duty?

Case Study # 1

 

For this assignment, following APA style, answer as comprehensively as possible the questions after each case summary.

 

Please refer to the EASTERN GEAR, INC. Case Study on page 417 of the text and answer the questions that follow the synopsis below.

 

Synopsis and Purpose

 

Eastern Gear is a company that traditionally produced custom gears in small lots, and has recently been given the opportunity to begin producing larger volumes of gears per order.  This is a typical small job shop which is owner operated.  In addition, Eastern Gear has experienced a large increase in sales which is causing major problems in operations.  Because of the wide range of problems presented, the case permits an overview of a job shop type of operation and practice at looking at the entire scope of operations including objectives, capacity, production and inventory control, organization, and quality.

 

The purpose of this case is to allow students to examine a complex manufacturing problem and the associated decisions in some detail.  The case illustrates how problems are interrelated and how objectives might be clarified before decisions can be made.  It also provides a fundamental understanding of what a job shop is like and the typical problems faced in job shop management.

 

 Questions

 

1. What are the major problems being faced by Eastern Gear?

 

2. What action should Mr. Rhodes take to solve his problems?

 

3. How can this case be related to operations strategy and process design concepts?

 

Answers must be well thought-out and in discussion format. Short one-liner answers are not sufficient.

 

Added Notes by Dr. Schlueter:

 

  • Consider Using Project Management Tools like Gantt Charts to minimize slack time between steps in the process
  • Consider installing smart machines and ultimately smart factory arrangements to maximize production capacity.  This means taking advantage of new opportunities offered by the digital revolution (Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS))
  • Answer the three questions at the end of the Case Synopsis and Purpose
  • Repeat each question ahead of your answer
  • Use headings to separate the response to each question
  • Make sure you answer each question
  • Follow APA style
  • Check grammar, spelling, sentence structure, etc
  • I strongly suggest you use a good proofreader for each written submission

Part 1: Matrix

 

Research five engagement strategies that can be implemented in the secondary classroom to help motivate students and create an engaging learning environment.

 

Complete the “Engagement Strategy Matrix” that includes:

 

  • Title of each type of engagement strategy.
  • Description of each engagement strategy. (At least one must use technology appropriate to the subject matter.)
  • How the engagement strategy will be implemented within the classroom.
  • An example of a developmentally appropriate learning activity that utilizes each engagement strategy.

 

Part 2: Rationale

 

In 250-500 words, summarize and provide a rationale as to why you chose those engagement strategies. How do these engagement strategies provide an opportunity for motivation and create an environment of learning?  

 

Support your findings with a minimum of three scholarly resources.

Prepare a 400-word paper discussing the process used to identify threats and opportunities, why it was chosen, and how it worked for your group. Hint: Risk Identification is addressed in the PMBOK and CPM texts. At a minimum, groups should discuss and amplify upon the tools and techniques included in Figure 11-6.

Digital media has taken over business communication in many different ways. People seem more likely to engage in digital media communication than face-to-face communication in business these days. In a paper, answer the following:  What forms of digital communication are used in businesses today? How are these forms of digital communication effectively used? How are these forms of digital communication being misused? What are the benefits and drawbacks of digital communication in business? What has changed in the demographics of organizations that has really helped to push digital communication forward as a main form of communication? Keep in mind this is academic writing. It should be written in third person and should not include unsubstantiated opinions, but rather facts and theories.  Your well-written paper must adhere to the following parameters:  3-5 pages in length, not including the title and reference pages. 3 scholarly references cited in the assignment. Remember, you must support your thinking/opinions and prior knowledge with in-text citations and references; all facts must be supported. In-text citations used throughout the assignment must be included in an APA-formatted reference list. Formatted according to CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA (Links to an external site.).

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each type of testing. When is each type of testing appropriate? Are there situations that preclude the use of a particular type of testing?

 

DQ requirement: Note that the requirement is to post your initial response no later than Sunday and you must post one additional post during the week. I recommend your initial posting to be between 200-to-300 words. The replies to fellow students and to the professor should range between 100-to-150 words. All initial posts must contain a properly formatted in-text citation and scholarly reference.

Discussion: The Concepts of Equality and Social Equity

 

H. George Frederickson, expert in the field of public administration, coined the term “social equity,” which urges public administrators not to view individuals within one environment as the same but instead to view them against a backdrop of social and economic factors before assuming equality.

 

Ideals of equality and social justice form the basis of political philosophy. However, enforcing principles of equality across society often infringes on the liberal concept of social justice. Tensions within social and political relations have led to the creation of international government and nongovernment organizations that seek to maintain ethical standards of equality throughout the world. These ethical standards allow reasonable individuals to maintain their philosophical differences without jeopardizing the greater good of global society.

 

In this Discussion, you will compare the concepts of equality and social equity, and the role of public administrators in promoting social equity.

By Day 3

Post an IRA (Insights, Resource, and Application) in the Discussion Board as follows:

  1. Insights: As you read the resources, create bullet points that capture what you have learned about the relationship between equality and social equity, and critical insights you gained from each article. Summarize these key points and insights by using APA format.
  2. Resource: In addition to the assigned readings, share one other resource that amplifies the themes for this week, such as the relationship between equality and social equity. Note a book, article, news items, website, or film with similar ideas, thoughts, and themes. Cite your resource by using APA format, and explain, in no more than three sentences, how this resource is relevant to the assigned readings.
  3. Application: Provide an example from current or past experience (about one paragraph) on a threat to equality or equity. (Multicultural and/or international examples are welcome but not required.) Then, explain a strategy you believe that a public administrator might use to promote equality and equity in this example and explain why you chose this strategy.

Support your postings and responses with specific references to the resources.
