Consider if a painting conveys weight, if a sculpture conveys mood, if a performance evokes social consciousness, or if a structure mimics motion.

W8 Assignment “Term Paper”
Term Paper
Submit your 6-page term paper analyzing the topic you’ve chosen and been developing throughout the class. Your paper must be in APA style
Page 1 – Title Page
Page 2-5 – Body (minimum four pages, must include an introduction and conclusion)
Page 6 – References
Your paper must be a minimum of 4 pages of content about your thesis. I encourage you to use images if you want to, but they do not count towards the minimum 4 pages of text – in other words, you will need to have 4 pages of written content without the images.
Your paper should include the following:
A title page;
A discussion of your chosen thesis;
Art works by your selected artist as they relate to your thesis;
A References page listing no less than four (4) sources cited in the paper.
Your paper must be written to the thesis proposed in Week 3.  Refer to the outline and feedback I provided in Week 4 to help you get started. In analyzing the works of a given artist, remember that your interpretation is not what is being graded: it the support of your interpretation. Do not worry that you are not a renowned art critic – you are writing about what you believe the artist has conveyed based on what you know and have discovered from the writings of others to be true of the artist. Your interpretation is the key. Consider the impact of an artist’s choice (or lack) of color or form, and how that relates to your thesis. Consider if a painting conveys weight, if a sculpture conveys mood, if a performance evokes social consciousness, or if a structure mimics motion. What does the work make you think and feel? This is the basis for your analysis.
Your work must be original. Give yourself twice as much time as you think you need for research and writing. Use quotation marks and in-text citations for all information that is not general knowledge, including information that you paraphrase. You must adhere to the class and school Plagiarism policy.

WRITING ASSIGNMENT 4:  RESEARCH-BASED PERSUASIVE REPORT

People in business and government write formal reports for many different purposes: proposing, problem solving, recommending, informing, explaining, describing, selling, analyzing, defending, protecting, reviewing. For this class, write a persuasive report for decision and implementation. That is, show that a problem exists and propose a solution to the problem; you might suggest a change in policy. Assume the audience to be a decision maker who is your immediate supervisor or one level higher. The workplace can be a fictional one, not your actual employer. Choose a topic that requires research: printed books and articles or articles from databases and websites, or possibly in-house documents (consult with me if you plan to use in-house documents).

The assignment gives you practice in gathering information, taking notes, planning and focusing a large formal report for an intended audience, writing and revising, and documenting sources.

This assignment also meets the objectives of several UMUC Core Learning Areas as well as all the objectives of WRTG 394.

Research Prospectus

Topic: Orientations for New Employees

Reason: To educate and prepare new employees on safety, protocols, benefits, work, rules and procedures in the work place.

Why: New employees without an orientation come into the workplace unprepared for the work. Orientations can be used to show what the employee can expect from the company. To show the culture of the company. To show new employees what the goals of the company are. Helps the employees hit the ground running.

Thesis statement: New employee orientations should be mandatory to prepare and educate new employees on procedures and safety along with the expectations and goals of the company.

Memo – Request to do research

TO: Phillip Bawl, Division Chief, Center for Survey Measurement, U.S. Census Bureau

FROM: Serena Jane, Secretary, Center for Survey Measurement, U.S. Census Bureau

DATE: November 15th, 2015

SUBJECT: Request time away from regular duties to research a solution to our new employee orientation problem.

Center for Survey Measurement is a large part of the U.S. Census Bureau. We receive an average of fifteen new employees every first of the month. As the secretary of this division, I receive questions and concerns raised by these new employees about how the Bureau is run, what benefits they are eligible for, etc. I am requesting time off from my regular duties in order to research how successful orientations are, and to show how beneficial they would be to the new employees of our division.

The research I would like to conduct, is whether incorporating a new employee orientation would be beneficial for not only our organization, but for the new employees as well. I have found that with the amount of people who come into our organization monthly, we have not exactly guided them in the right direction when starting. We really just have new employees show up on their start date and show them their desk. Once they start they spend more time figuring out benefits, their way around, the work that is done here, etc. The time they spend researching this information, cuts away time from the work they should be doing. If we take three hours on their first day to teach and show them these things, it would save hours of time they spend on the clock versus doing their work.

My time away from duties will be limited and I will want to start preparation and research immediately in order to gain approval and incorporate the new orientation as soon as possible. The reason I need to spend time away from my regular work to research this idea to see what is the best way to approach and prepare for this. What are the benefits for having an orientation for new employees versus no orientation and continuing what we have been doing? We want to make sure this orientation is time efficient and informative. The more research and preparation I do, the better I can present this information to you and be ready to incorporate this immediately, pending approval.

So far in my research I have found many scholarly articles supporting orientations for new employees. In one of the articles from the Academy of Management Journal called “Goal Congruence and Employee Orientations: The Substitution Effect” I have found that explaining the goals of our organization will set standards and allow the employee to understand job satisfaction. Industrial Safety and Hygiene News has a small article called “You’re Hired – Now this is our Culture” and it explains that orientation training must be more than ‘lip service’. This is more of a do’s and don’ts when it comes to orientation training and what is more effective. Another scholarly article that has surfaced is one on the effects of orientations in manufacturing companies. Although we are not a manufacturing company, the structure of their orientation is explained and seems quite effective in the article “That’s Not My Job: Developing Flexible Employee Work Orientation”. Lastly, there is a small question and answer in the journal, Treponomics, from an expert in business. He gives insight on how to help new hires hit the ground running and what you want to include in an orientation to get that.

I have done quite a bit of research but there are still things that need to be done and questions that need to be answered. My next steps are to get sample power point slides rom other businesses and their orientations to see what they include in the orientation. What are their steps and what methods do they use to really make their new hires understand their organization? Do they show leadership and goals? Talk about health benefits? I also want to see if I can find any statistics on the success on company with orientations versus a company who just throws their employees in to start work right away. I also want to question some of our recently new additions to our organization to see what their input is on being a new employee and their hardships along the way. Having the insight from someone first hand would be quite helpful to my research.

I would like your input and approval for me to start my research officially as soon as possible. I am asking to meet with you within the next week to answer any further questions you might have in order for me to gain your approval. An orientation would be beneficial to our division in the Census Bureau and to our new staff. I look forward to hearing your response to my research proposal.

Discussion Summary on Topic

We receive an average of 15 new employees the first of every month. These new hires show up to their desk and have no idea where to get supplies, how to go about applying for benefits, or what specifically should be done with their time. I am suggesting to my supervisor that new employees have a 2-3 hour seminar on their first day to go over how the organization is ran. As for the scholarly articles I am looking at, I am seeing which ones suggest what to include and what not to include in an orientation. I am getting sample slides from other company’s orientations to see what they go over. My point I am making is that it would take less time to inform the new employees through an orientations verses the hours they would spend trying to figure it out themselves or who they should be talking to. I am trying to find the most effective and efficient way to do this orientation so that it does not waste time and it covers all the “need-to-know” items for the new employees.

Discussion of the role leadership plays in managing diversity and strategies to employ to effectively manage diversity.

Shortly after the CNO (Chief Nurse Officer) completed her annual performance appraisal and salary evaluations, as required by the Joint Commission; you are confronted by a minority female RN that claims that her wages are substantially less than her male RN counterpart who is performing the exact same job in the oncology department. She feels as if she is being discriminated against. You realize you have no procedures in place to address these issues. Although minorities continue to be underrepresented within the healthcare workforce, your healthcare systems has continued to diversify with an increased number of ethnic and racial employees. You are aware that minorities and women will continue to comprise the highest percentage of new entrants into the labor force. You also notice that this is a pattern as this is the fourth employee that has confronted you with an issue regarding diversity (i.e. specifically differences in racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds) in the last six weeks from the oncology department.

 

Directions:

Describe the benefits and disadvantages of business analytics, as well as how the organization can be proactive in addressing any disadvantages.

In learning about BA, you have covered quite a few topics from the manager’s decision-making process to technology integration. The best way to pull all of this knowledge together is to create a BA implementation plan for a hypothetical organization. This is something you would do in a real-life scenario if you came across an organization that does not utilize BA; as a professional, you would create the plan and then present it to management.

Description of LASA

In this assignment, you will create a business analytics implementation plan. The plan will consist of explaining business analytics to management, addressing the advantages and disadvantages of business analytics, the challenges of utilizing business analytics, along with a backup plan in case management does not accept the first option.
