Monsanto Company-Before you submit the final version of your Strategic Management Plan, the last piece you need to create is an Executive Summary. This should be the first page in the final version of your plan. It\’s meant to be something that an executive could quickly read in order to get a basic understanding of the overall strategic management plan. Due to its purpose, the executive summary should be a thorough and concise summary clearly depicting the content of the plan. Give an overview of the goal you\’re trying to accomplish, any major findings in your research, the reasoning behind the goal, and any major obstacles you foresee. It should be treated as a document ready to be turned into an executive director, board of advisors, investor, etc. Therefore, format and style (presentation) is very important.

Post: Choose one section to focus on: Scientific Reasoning (Ch. 20), Religious Reasoning (Ch. 21), or Philosophical Reasoning (Ch. 22). Answer the following:

Why did you choose to focus on your particular section?
Include a one paragraph summary of the most interesting information that you learned in the section. Include at least one direct quotation and in-text citation.
Include an open-ended question to the class about your particular reading.

Discussion Board Participation
Important: Confidentiality on the Discussion Board. Take care to be respectful in all communications. The Professor reserves the right to delete/remove any and all posting. Do not use the real names of your places of work or people involved in the situations you talk about to maintain the highest level of confidentiality so we can discuss some the most controversial issues impacting the workplace today.

To receive the best score possible:

Replies: Again, share clear and relevant examples, in support of your statements, chosen articles and/or opinions. Be sure to respond to the critical thinking question in your classmates post and to ask one of your own in the reply.

Participation Frequency: Participate early in the week. Participate often during the week ensuring that you answer any questions from a fellow classmate. Post your two responses on two separate days of the week to keep up with the discussion.

Attend a live World Music concert then describe the event as best you can. In a two or three page paper explain what kind of music was played, what were the instruments involved and what was the audience reaction. Add anything about the event that you thought was interesting, the dress, the food, the venue, the occasion.

Prepare a well-organized, detailed technical description for a place of business, organism, or ailment of your own choosing. Again, you will need two visual aids. Make sure you preface your paper with a clear and complete description of your audience and purpose.

Monsanto Company -As you\’ve learned this week, the control process is essential to the achievement of goals. It allows a business to track their progress, make adjustments, and stay on schedule for what they\’re trying to achieve. Your chosen goal from the strategic management project needs these same types of controls. This course project assignment will task you with creating a detailed control process for that goal. Think through all of the departments that might be involved in the completion of the goals and how they\’ll need to be tracked. The course content from this week can be very useful in providing details on strategies and ideas for control processes. Some additional research will also prove useful. This assignment should be two pages in length and complete the following:Identify four separate strategies that you will use to control your strategic goal.For each strategy:Identify which aspect or metric of the goal they\’re controlling.Explain the reasoning and value behind the control choice.Identify the control as feed forward, concurrent, or feedback.As an example, if my goal is to \”decrease the amount of defective parts made on my assembly line by 5%\”, I could control it through regular maintenance checks (feed forward), thorough employee training on the machines (feed forward), and a software system that monitors production while it\’s happening and can print off detailed reports after work is completed (concurrent and feedback). You will need to go into much more detail on the structure, process, and purpose of your control methods, but this should give you a good idea of how to complete this assignment. Really think through how you\’ll keep up to speed with company progress on your strategic management goal.

The capacity of Human Resources Management is evolving with the change in competitive market environments. As organizations of all kinds face unrelenting changes in their environment, the need for individuals who are capable of turning strategy into reality has created a new legitimacy for the change agent role – which is often located within the Human Resources function. There are several reasons for this trend: Human resource professionals have made significant strides over the past decade in becoming business partners; demonstrating the value they can add to the business; Executives are looking for where the change process can best be managed; Most business strategies require major changes in people-related issues; Human Resource professionals develop and manage the key “people” systems needed to support organizational change;Please discuss the critical role that HR can play during large changes in an organization, how they can facilitate the changes in the organization and what they need to do to protect employees against the side effects of the constant changes.

\”Reaction Papers to the required readingsYou are required to read the assigned text sections before class. You are to write a reaction of at least 300 words to EACH chapter to be turned in at the first class in which the chapter will be discussed. This reaction paper should be about something in the readings that caught your attention, or something with which you made a connection or found interesting. I am looking for your personal opinions on something in the readings. For example, when we discuss social influence, maybe you or someone you know bought a car and was influenced by the salesperson, and you can write about your or their experience. Personal stories are fine, but make sure you stick to the topics. I do NOT want a summary of the chapters. We will also view three FILMS for which you are required to write a reaction paper. There are 12 readings in the text plus three films, so each paper will be worth 1% of the total grade. Late or short (less than 300 words) reaction papers will receive half credit.\”Hi, the paper should have 300 words at least but as it shows me one page is about 275 words, so I pick \”Senior\” for the academic level, I hope that\’s enough for the extra 25 words, the correct academic level should be \”Sophomore\”.Below is the link of the film. I will also upload the syllabus of the course and please follow the direction exactly.Please feel free to ask me if having any questions, thank you!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydHRESPjBxg
