Your basic outline content should be based on the 2 pre-selected articles, the Guide to Managerial Communication textbook and the 2 additional articles your read and listed in your reference section. Your outline should look similar to the example following page 167: Chapter 21 (model papers, page 1) in Writing Great Research Papers.
SECTION 4 – page 4
COMPANY EMPLOYEE NEWSLETTER
Create a one page newsletter by modifying the provided template.Link (Links to an external site.)
https://templates.office.com/en-US/Weekly-newsletter-TM33875558 (Links to an external site.)
Your topic will be Nonverbal Communication in the Workplace. The content needs to be derived and paraphrased from the 2 articles with the links provided above and you may also paraphrase the textbook. Use APA for citations, paraphrase/cite any information that is not your own original thought and words. You may use any font that is appropriate for your newsletter. Create your newsletter article name. Write content that will fit on the one page template. Consider that your first sentence should grab the audience attention and make them want to read the content. Your content should summarize the topic from the information in the articles you read, but make sure you are adding your own original insight and writer’s voice while gearing the information as something your employees can use. No reference section is needed as your references are already in section 2 (note from the attached rubric: all information needs to be paraphrased & cited unless your own original content).

Aggregate Model of the Macroeconomy

The article discusses the low growth rate of the Australian economy and suggests that the Australian macroeconomy might be facing a prolonged period of slow economic growth (i.e. a stagnation) and discusses some of the ways out of it.
Create a paper in the form of an APA formatted article that addresses the following questions. Please use at least 1 in text citation.
How is the Australian Fed responding to low growth figures so far? Are these institutions taking the right course of actions given the circumstances? You can consider monetary and fiscal policy responses of the Australian Fed and its Treasury Department.
Stagnations and recessions are usually associated with low aggregate demand in general. Increasing supply in those circumstances would not necessarily yield the best outcome for the economy unless there is strong demand accompanying it. What can be done by governments if aggregate demand is low in an economy? Are there policy tools that can help?
Unemployment has tremendous social costs that can be emotionally and mentally disruptive. Strong growth rates of an economy would provide more job opportunities for the working class. Compare the implications of an economy with high vs. low growth rates.
