Post a brief description of the non-profit or government organization that you selected. Explain issues that are not addressed in the organization’s current strategic plan. Then, explain how you might revise the strategic

Jennifer, the owner and manager of a company with ten employees, has hired you to take over the HRM function so she can focus on other areas of her business. During your first two weeks, you find out that the company has been greatly affected by the up economy and is expected to experience overall revenue growth by 10 percent over the next three years, with some quarters seeing growth as high as 30 percent. However, five of the ten workers are expected to retire within three years. These workers have been with the organization since the beginning and provide a unique historical perspective of the company. The other five workers are of diverse ages.

In addition to these changes, Jennifer believes they may be able to save costs by allowing employees to telecommute one to two days per week. She has some concerns about productivity if she allows employees to work from home. Despite these concerns, Jennifer has even considered closing down the physical office and making her company a virtual organization, but she wonders how such a major change will affect the ability to communicate and worker motivation.

Jennifer shares with you her thoughts about the costs of health care on the organization. She has considered cutting benefits entirely and having her employees work for her on a contract basis, instead of being full-time employees. She isn’t sure if this would be a good choice.

Jennifer schedules a meeting with you to discuss some of her thoughts. To prepare for the meeting, you perform research so you can impress your new boss with recommendations on the challenges presented.

1. Point out which changes are occurring in the business that affect HRM.

2. What are some considerations the company and HR should be aware of when making changes related to this case study?

3. What would the initial steps be to start planning for these changes?

To achieve organizational goals, it is necessary to regularly re-evaluate and revise organizational strategic plans. This evaluation and revision process is ongoing and requires collaboration among organizational leaders, managers, and most importantly, stakeholders. When stakeholders are involved in this process, organizations are more able to objectively examine their strengths and weaknesses, identify organizational needs, and achieve strategic goals. For this Individual Paper, you explore the role of stakeholders in an organization’s strategic planning process and consider strategic organizational goals.

To complete:

Write a 6- to 8-page paper (not including title page and reference page) that addresses the following:

• Describe an existing non-profit or public organization of interest to you. Include the organization’s mission, stakeholders, short-term goals (1–4 years), mid-terms goals (5–14 years), and long-term goals (15–20 years).
• Select and explain your role as a stakeholder, including why this organization is important to you both personally and professionally.
• Explain how you, in your role, will help to evaluate and revise the organization’s strategic planning process. Include any potential legal implications of revising the organization’s current strategic plan.
• Explain at least 3 strategic goals that you would recommend for the organization, which will directly contribute to and effect positive social change.

 Use proper APA formatting and include the following:

• A title page and running head

• An introduction that states the purpose of the paper
• Level 1 headings to define each part of the paper
• A conclusion to synthesize the entire paper

Competition has, since the 90s, led to wider gaps between industry leaders and laggards. There are more “winner-take-all” environments and greater churns among industry sector rivals. We have witnessed sharp increases in quality and quantity of IT (Information Technology) investments. We’ve seen striking competitive dynamics, particularly in sectors that spend the most on IT. Some of the competitive dynamics models include the Destroy Your Business (DYB) strategy, the Grow Your Business (GYB) strategy, the Information Systems (IS) and strategic advantage, and the social business strategy.

Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

1. Compare and contrast the DYB and GYB strategies in terms of the ability to sustain a business in the marketplace over the long term, to be competitive against rivals, and profitability.
2. Examine the “cannibalization” strategy and determine if it is or is not a better strategy compared to the DYB strategy for growth, competitiveness, and market leadership. Provide two (2) business examples.
3. Determine whether or not changes in business strategy should entail reassessment of IS. Provide three (3) reasons to support your position.
4. Examine how firms can use social IT in alignment with organizational strategy and IS strategy. Consider collaborative capabilities, what, how, and who should use social IT for a social business strategy.
5. Use at three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify

esign Basics Used to Create Balance

The Chinese have a theory that you pass through boredom into fascination and I think it’s true. I would never choose a subject for what it means to me or what I think about it. You’ve just got to choose a subject, and what you feel about it, what it means, begins to unfold if you just plain choose a subject and do it enough.

––Diane Arbus

Diane Arbus was a highly original photographer who has greatly influenced the course of contemporary photography. In her Photography: A Cultural History (2002), Mary Warner Marien writes:

Arbus turned normalcy on its head, making the ordinary bizarre and naturalizing the unusual. In her photographs of people, many of them made while she roamed the streets of New York, clothes and cosmetics are futile efforts to camouflage psychic emptiness or damage. When Arbus photographed children, she revealed them as little versions of bad-tempered, mean-spirited adults. […] On the other hand, her photographs of people at the margins of society, such as female impersonators, show them to be more virtuous for having unmasked their subjective inclinations. For Arbus, marginal people were symbols for her own psychological fragility and trauma (p. 352).

The thematic power of Arbus’s work is based on the masterful composition of her subject matter, balancing key elements within a square frame format, which is uniquely identified with her mature style.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review Chapters 2 and 3 in your course text, The Photographer’s Eye.
• Review Diane Arbus’s photograph, Child with Toy Hand Grenade, 1962.
• Review the websites from this week’s Learning Resources for more inspiration and examples of photographs.
• Consider the following questions regarding the Arbus photograph:
  • How does the use of a square frame impact the balance of the photograph?
  • What elements contribute to the balance of the photograph presented here? Would you say this is a balanced photograph? Explain your response.
  • Does this composition draw your eyes more to the center of the frame or more to the edges? Give evidence for your response.
  • How does the photograph demonstrate contrast, tension, rhythm, and/or depth?
  • How does the subject of the photograph relate to the background?
  • How is perspective created in the photograph?
  • Is the photograph more weighted toward information or emotion? Explain your response.
• While considering the questions above, compare the assigned photograph with Arbus’s 1967 photograph, Identical Twins, Roselle, N.J., 1967. Explain how these photographs differ and how they are similar.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 3 a response that addresses three of the questions. Analyze how Arbus uses placement to create or disrupt a sense of balance in her composition. (Approximately 250 words).

In your post, be sure to:

• Refer to one specific example from your course reading.

Be sure to support your ideas by connecting them to the week’s Learning Resources, or something you have read, heard, seen, or experienced.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings.

Respond by Day 5 to at least two of your colleagues’ postings that contain a perspective other than yours.

• Explain how your colleagues’ perspectives can either:
  • Align with or complement your perspective.

    or

  • Contrast with or be in opposition to your perspective.
