Mark Jones, a Production Manager, has been transferred from the manufacturing plant in his hometown of Chicago to his company’s overseas manufacturing plant in Osaka, Japan.

You are the company’s I-O psychologist. Using Hofstede’s Five Basic Elements of Culture Distinction, write an e-mail message to the Vice President (VP) of Production discussing at least three cultural differences that Mark will experience in managing front-line plant workers in Japan in contrast to in the United States. Also address how cultural differences may play a role in individual differences Mark will experience.

Your e-mail message should also include at least three recommendations on how managers can take up overseas tasks with minimum transition problems. State the rationale for your recommendations.

Because the VP of Production is a busy individual, restrict your e-mail message to one to two pages. Type the e-mail message in Microsoft Word.

Where appropriate use structured text—bold format, headings, bulleted lists, and graphics—to clarify your meaning and to make your document easier to read. Remember texting language will not be acceptable.

I’m going to attach some powerpoint slide to help you and Ill attach some information about the company

You are a psychologist in an urban community that has seen a 200% growth in its immigrant population over the past 3 years. Eighty-seven percent of this population speaks a language other than English at home. You work for a community mental health center, which is seeing an increase in referral from this population primarily because of the children’s interactions with the school system. The children typically become bilingual quickly. The parents are typically less fluent in English than their children; however, approximately 30% of the adults in this immigrant population are fluent in English and hold advanced degrees and middle- to upper- middle class jobs. The remaining 70% primarily hold jobs that do not require higher education although many do have degrees from their country of origin.

Based on the reading that i will attach, evaluate research and practice aspects in this applied context and use elements and address the following:
What types of staffing and training recommendations would you make for the community mental health center?
How would you facilitate intergroup work relations among staff at the community mental health center?
Would you support the use of the DSM-5 to diagnose clients with limited English proficiency?
How would you evaluate whether or not your staff is competent to work with this population?
Explain the rationales for your answers by providing evidence from the required readings.

You will research a natural, technological, or intentional human-initiated disaster, and the specific population or social issue in the context of that event. Based on your research, you will write an eight- to 10-page case study in which you summarize the consequences of the disaster from the sociological perspective and compare coverage from the media and academic perspective. The case study must follow APA style with citations and bibliography, using 12-point font, double-spaced. The bibliography is not included in the page count. The case study is due at midnight eastern time. Your resources must include five or more media articles covering the event, and a minimum of four academic research sources from the UMUC library.

Report Requirements The first part of the report should analyse key characteristics of supply chain aspect which is Implementation of ERP (Enterprise Resources Planning) systems to integrate a global supply chain, including benefits, barriers to implementation, sustainability issues, and relevant risks. The second part of the report should include the analysis of one relevant case study which is Rolls-Royce ERP case study (based on literature review) to illustrate the implementation of ERP. The length of coursework is 3000 words, without including cover page, table of content, references and appendices. Please take into account that referencing is based on the Harvard System. Do NOT use Wikipedia, About.com, Wikihow, ehow.co.uk, Investopedia or similar sites as references. These are not appropriate academic references. Use only good quality references, such as recent articles from academic journals, books, industrial and government reports, specialised magazines, publications, etc. Avoid copy/paste practices for the text Explain all concepts in your own words and include the references along the relevant sentences and paragraphs. Avoid excessive use of “quotations”. If you use quotations, you must explain in your own words what you understand from those quotations. Outline A general outline for the report is suggested below: 1. Cover page and table of content. 2. Introduction. It includes a brief description of ERP, including the main purpose (aim) of the report. 3. Analysis of the ERP (literature review section), including: key characteristics of this aspect, benefits, barriers to implementation, sustainability issues, and relevant risks. 4. Analysis of Rolls-Royce case study that has implemented ERP aspect. It is very important that you establish a clear and explicit link between the discussions in the literature review section and the case study. In this section, it is important to explain the following: a. Achieving strategic fit: • Step 1: Understanding the Customer and Supply Chain Uncertainty. • Step 2: Understanding the Supply Chain: understand the supply chain capabilities and map it on the responsiveness spectrum. • Step 3: Achieving Strategic Fit: Firm must ensure that the supply chain responsiveness is consistent with the implied uncertainty (demand and supply). In other words, organization needs to ensure that what the supply chain does well is consistent with targeted customer’s needs. Note: In order to achieve strategic fit, it is important to define roles and tasks to different stages of the supply chain (suppliers, manufacturer, distributors, etc.) to ensure the appropriate level of responsiveness. 5. Conclusion, including a brief summary of the report and discussing the lessons learnt from this coursework. 6. List of good quality academic references.
