Identify the improvement strategy, suggest a set of action steps to implement the strategy, and identify any resources that are needed to implement the strategy.

please use the sources that I will upload and write research paper about ( New Employee Induction, Orientation, Mentoring, Staff Development) cluster. This paper have to address to utilize course theories and concepts to interpret and critique personnel practices in a school district or other approved organization and develop recommendations for improving 3 areas of personnel administration in that district based on the critique. The assessment is carried out in three parts as follows:

a. Part 1 – you have to develop an organizational profile of personnel systems, practices, and processes relating to the cluster of topics which is (New Employee Induction, Orientation, Mentoring, Staff Development). The profile analyzes current district practices and procedures against key concepts from the selected journal articles and books that i upload.
b. Part 2 – you have to critique the major strengths and weaknesses of the organization’s current personnel practices in the selected areas based on course and student selected readings, theories, and concepts.
This critique should identify, at least, 4 overall or particular strengths in the organizations systems, processes, and practices relating to the topics you address within the set of topics you are analyzing. It should also, identify, at least, 4 areas where you can see the potential for growth and improvement in the organizations systems, processes, or practices relating to the set of topics you are analyzing. Be sure to develop your rationale and cite support for the areas you select to illustrate strengths and to identify potential targets for growth or improvement.
c. Part 3 – Based on the student’s critique of the selected areas which is ( b. New Employee Induction, Orientation, Mentoring, Staff Development), the student chooses (and defends the choices based on the critique) a minimum of 4 improvement targets for their selected areas. Identify the improvement target, state the rationale for the improvement target and develop a set of recommendations to improve the personnel practices, systems, and processes in that area. For each recommendation, identify the improvement strategy, suggest a set of action steps to implement the strategy, and identify any resources that are needed to implement the strategy. If relevant, you can also suggest a timeline and suggest roles and responsibilities for implementation.

Describe and explain your results. Make sure to refer to your table and state the numbers when referring to data.

here is exactly what my professor need in the lab report

{{{{{ Hey Everyone,

Here’s all the information I pretty much spoke about yesterday with a bit more detail.

So as everyone knows you should have a Title page on your lab report.

Introduction: I want you all to go over what Fermentation is (since everyone did the alcoholic fermentation lab). Make sure to explain what fermentation is, that’s it’s aerobic (explain what aerobic is) and what the two processes are (lactic and alcoholic). Make sure to talk more about alcoholic fermentation in general because it’s what you did your experiment on. Talk about what happens during the process of alcoholic fermentation and what is converted (i.e. explain that glucose is converted to things such as acids and gases, primarily carbon dioxide since that’s what we’re using to measure). Then I would like you to talk about the different variable that could affect the rate of alcoholic fermentation and add some detail about the variable you studied (temperature, spice, etc.) This is a good place in the report to bring in some outside sources and cite their data and research to help support your hypothesis/explain why you’re looking at this variable. Finally state your hypothesis.

Materials and Methods: Explain in paragraph form what you did step by step. Like the rest of report, this section must be in past tense. Don’t forget to state the measurements you took and the tools you used.

Results: should be a table with the title and “Table 1:…) The table should include the tube number, the variable changed (different temperature, different spice, etc.) and then the rate which was what you recorded. If there was no change just write 0.

Discussion: Describe and explain your results. Make sure to refer to your table and state the numbers when referring to data. When explaining your results, use the background data (could be studies you cited in your introduction or new studies) to help explain your results, or if you recorded a 0 and no change, explain what you should have seen in your results. What the results would have meant in terms of theories. Then I want you to talk about if the results supported your hypothesis or not and what may have gone wrong to skew the results if you saw no change in your data.

References page: should have at least 3 references cited

Remember to proof read your report and also double space it. The whole thing should be in past tense and each section should be titled. Also do not use direct quotes. Instead paraphrase and write the information in your own words while also citing where you got the information from.

If you have any questions let me know. Reports should be e-mailed to me by midnight next Wed and they should be uploaded to safe assign by midnight. If you have any trouble let me know! }}}}}

what you should know after we did the experiment we did not get the results we are looking for it did not work so in the result you could talk about why it doesn’t work for example you could say we may not follow the procedure right I will post the pages of this experiment from the lab manual and the data we did in the experiment my group did exercise 1 and 2 in the result section you can organize the table same as the one in page 113 and put the data

Effects of Gamma Rays/Marigolds, Funny Thing Happened/Forum, Comedy of Errors, Romeo & Juliet, Tartuffe, Doll’s House] that your theatre is going to do.

You are the producer of a theatre company. Create an advertisement poster (like they do with movies) for a production of one of the plays you have read this semester [Oedipus Rex, Effects of Gamma Rays/Marigolds, Funny Thing Happened/Forum, Comedy of Errors, Romeo & Juliet, Tartuffe, Doll’s House] that your theatre is going to do. This is a creative project so you can do the play in any interpretation that you like (“Oedipus on Ice” )… but the poster should be very clear about how you plan to “market” the play (i.e. – how are you planning to get ‘people to pay good money to see your production .) What is your “hook” to get butts in the seats? Is it your casting? Interpretation? Venue? Price?
Also provide what you think is the necessary “information” that a person wishing to come to the show should know.
Size: ‘8.5 x 11’ standard paper OR LARGER is fine, but you don’t want to go any smaller than 8.5 x 11.

Assignment 1: Required Assignment 2—The Case For, or Against, New Orleans

Sometimes one’s choices may involve catastrophic decisions and bear great risk and yet there can be no clear answer. For example, if a person gets a divorce, shutters a plant, sells a losing investment, or closes their business, will he or she be better off? The following case incorporates nearly all of the material you have covered this far and presents an example of one such choice where nearly all of the alternatives have a significant downside risk.

Review the following information from the article “A Cost-Benefit Analysis of the New Orleans Flood Protection System” by Stéphane Hallegatte (2005):

  • Hallegatte, an environmentalist, assigns a probability (p) of a Katrina-like hurricane of 1/130 in his cost-benefit analysis for flood protection. However, the levees that protect New Orleans also put other regions at greater risk. You may assume the frequency of other floods is greater than Katrina-like events (Vastag & Rein, 2011).
  • The new levees that were built in response to Katrina cost approximately fourteen billion dollars (in 2010). This is in addition to the direct costs of Katrina (eighty-one billion dollars in 2005).
  • 50 percent of New Orleans is at or below sea level.
  • A 100-year event means that there is a 63 percent chance that such an event will occur within a 100-year period.
  • The following are the interested (anchored and/or biased) constituencies:
    • Residents of New Orleans—both those that can move and those who cannot move
    • Residents of the surrounding floodplains at risk from New Orleans levees
    • The Mayor of New Orleans
    • The federal government—specifically taxpayers and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

Assume that the availability heuristics make people more risk averse (populations drop, at least in the short term). Consider how this would affect the local economy.

You are an analyst at FEMA and are in charge of developing a recommendation for both the state and the local governments on whether or not to redevelop New Orleans.

Write a report with your recommendation. Address the following in your report:

Part A

  • Analyze the economics of New Orleans in light of the above parameters and develop your own Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) for rebuilding.
  • Evaluate the value of the CBA for each constituency and integrate these estimates into a scenario model and/or decision tree. Analyze the results.
  • Clearly each of these constituencies may both overlap and be prey to a variety of group dynamics internally. For one of these options, discuss the decision pitfalls to which they may be susceptible and make a recommendation on how to alleviate these pressures.
  • Starting with your CBA, estimate the relevant expected utility for the interested constituencies.

Note: You need not have absolute amounts but your relevant utilities should be proportional to one another.

Hint: If you assume that your total CBA for New Orleans is fixed for each constituency (do not forget the overlaps), then each constituency will have a piece of the utility pie.

Part B

  • Make a case for or against rebuilding the city of New Orleans. This should be an executive summary; be concise and brief. Include exhibits.
  • Whether you are for or against, discuss how social heuristics could be used to your advantage, both ethically and unethically, in making your case. You may choose to fill the role of one of the constituents, if you prefer.

Assignment 2: Required Assignment 2—Genesis Energy Capital Plan Report

The Genesis Energy operations management team, nearing completion of its agreement with Sensible Essentials, was asked by senior management to present a capital plan for the operating expansion. The capital plan was not to be a wish list but an analysis of the necessary expenditures to successfully establish a fully equipped operating facility overseas.

In addition, senior management requested meaningful financial and operating metrics to ensure that the performance objectives for the facility were being met. The operations management team was given five days to accomplish the following:

  1. Calculate the firm’s WACC.
  2. Prepare and analyze each planned capital expenditure.
  3. Evaluate, rank, and recommend the capital expenditures according to beneficial value to the organization, using the evaluation tools NPV, payback, and IRR. Evaluation, ranking, and recommendations should be by category of expenditures. For example, facility, equipment 1, 2, and 3, and inspection.
  4. Using the selected choices in part three, calculate the full cost of establishing a fully equipped facility. This would include the facility, equipment 1, 2, and 3, and inspection. In addition, calculate the payback, NPV, and IRR for the completed facility.
  5. Construct and recommend between three and five metrics to measure the performance of the organization. At least one metric should be dividend decision-making driven.
  6. Prepare an executive summary along with a separate document showing the calculations.

Part I

Following the example of the operations management team, do the following:

  1. Download the Capital Budgeting spreadsheet, and compute the WACC for Genesis Energy.
  2. Using the information provided in the spreadsheet, analyze Genesis Energy’s project options. Then, calculate the periodic and cumulative net cash flows for each potential project and its associated options. Please note that there are five projects (facility, equipment pieces 1, 2, and 3, and internal inspection), and that each project offers multiple-configuration options (facility size, equipment type, etc.).
  3. Evaluate, rank, and recommend a specific option for each capital project according to beneficial value to the organization, using the evaluation tools NPV, payback, and IRR.
  4. Construct and recommend between three and five metrics to measure the performance of the new operating strategy. At least one metric should reflect dividend policy as it relates to rewarding shareholders.
  5. Prepare an executive summary describing your recommendations for each project and the overall cost, net cash flows, and expected returns of the operating configuration that you recommend. Be sure to justify your recommendations in terms of the investment criteria applied in Step 3 above. Be sure to report the full cost of the facility as it is configured per your recommendations. Present and justify your operating strategy performance metrics.

Your complete report should include all of your calculations as appendices (5 pages, or 1 page for each project).

Part II—Executive Summary Presentation

Because of limited resources in an era of plentiful opportunities, companies must carefully select investments. You analyzed Genesis Energy’s expansion plans and explained your findings in M5: Assignment 1.

This assignment is based on those findings. In this assignment, you will create a PowerPoint presentation that will include the following information:

  • An executive summary of your findings from M5: Assignment 1. Be sure to adhere to the following:
    • The presentation should be approximately 6–8 minutes (or 10–12 slides).
    • A statement of the problem or topic is included.
    • A concise analysis of the findings is included.
    • Specific details from M5: Assignment 1 to highlight or support the summary are incorporated.

Develop a 10–12-slide presentation in PowerPoint format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M5_A2.ppt.
