The Quick Drop 100 transition team has met to identify project risks, explore contingency plans, and assign owners to watch for symptoms and address the risks. The team surfaced the following information:

1. Julie is scheduled for a one week vacation during month three of the project.
2. The supplier of a common set of hand tools for the manufacturing floor notified the Roto Air Purchasing department that the tools will not be available until one month after manufacturing is scheduled to start. Alternative suppliers are available.
3. The Human Resources department has indicated that despite their best recruiting efforts the two openings for skilled welders have resulted in no qualified local applicants.
4. The manufacturer of the custom-built rotor forming machine now expects to be one month past the last acceptable date for installing the machine. No other suppliers exist for this item.
5. Roto Air uses a Just In Time (JIT) delivery system for major components used at the Florida plant. Hurricane season often interrupts or delays deliveries during one of the scheduled months of the project.

Assignment Instructions

This week you will be essentially doing two related assignment in one MS Word document.  The first part is a status report. The second part is an academic paper.

Part 1 Status Report:

Prepare a simple status report for senior management by creating a table within a MS Word. For each of the five risks:

1. Determine if each risk should be classified as low, medium, or high based on its impact to the project.
2. Differentiate the risk classifications in the table using green, yellow, and red shading to produce a status report that immediately signals the severity of the impact without reading the details.
3. Describe one plausible risk response for each of the risks.
4. Identify a team member to be responsible for monitoring each risk.

Part 2 Academic Paper:

Write a paper that reviews the risks and explains the options a project manager has available to lessen the effects of risk. These include acceptance, avoidance, control (mitigation), and transfer.

Your paper must be 900 to 1,200 words in length (not including title and reference pages) and must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the approved APA style guide. Contextual (Level One) headings must be used to organize your paper and your thoughts. You must cite at least two scholarly sources from the Ashford Online Library, in addition to the textbook.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

Organizations around the globe are facing challenges in recruiting, developing, and retaining talent. Global expansion can be an important aspect of an organization’s success. At the same time, talent management can also become more complicated. For organizations to maximize their human capital, they need to have talent management initiatives that support their global expansion strategy. Organizations need to employ strategies that will best identify talent in countries in which they are expanding. This is necessary for the success of both the organization and its employees.

 

In a 2- to 3-page paper, address the following:

 

• What are some specific talent management initiatives that might be used to support a global expansion strategy?
• What strategies might be used in recruiting global talent and why?
• What are some potential challenges in a talent management initiative that might be used in a global expansion strategy? Explain how these challenges may be turned into positive outcomes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Written assignment
Should we mount a massive effort to restore ecosystems that we have degraded even though this will be quite costly? For this weeks environmental controversy we explore this question. Using the textbook, and any additional outside resources, answer the questions below. Write a 1-2 paragraph response to the questions posed to you. Remember to cite your sources using APA.
Ecological restoration, which is discussed in your textbook, has a critical role in protecting and understanding the Earth’s environments. Unfortunately, even if personnel and financial resources are available, many sites are too damaged to be effectively restored. In such cases, alternatives to restoration must be pursued, including: rehabilitation, remediation, replacement, or the creation of artificial ecosystems.

Some individuals worry that large-scale ecological restoration could mislead the public into believing that any amount of environmental damage can be undone. Ultimately, a massive and expensive restoration program could be offset by weakened regulations and increased environmental damage in other areas. Furthermore, alternatives to ecological restoration may be able to repair more sites at less cost.
Based on what you have read and researched, do you believe that the loss of biodiversity is a concern for humans? Should the government not only preserve but restore ecosystems that we have degraded the biodiversity even though this will be quite costly?
