Assume you are a member of a local volunteer group of 15 people interested in nature conservancy.

Business networking websites such as www.linkedin.com, www.ryze.com, and www.spoke.com have become popular places for professionals to make connections that would be difficult or impossible to make without the internet. An important aspect of business networking is being able to provide a clear description of your professional background and interests. For example, a manufacturing consultant can list the industries in which she has experience, the types of projects she has worked on , and the nature of work she’d like to pursue in the future (such as a full-time position for a company or additional independent projects.

Your Task: Write a brief statement to introduce yourself, including your educational background, your job history, and the types of connections you’d like to make. You can “fast forward” to your graduation and list your degree, the business specialty you plan to pursue, and any relevant experience. If you have business experience already, you can use that experience instead. Make sure your statement is clear, concise, and compelling.

How can an organization optimize supply chain management to improve results and remove obstacles?

Supply chain management is the integration of activities that procure materials and services, transform them into intermediate goods and final products, and deliver them to customers. The production, distribution, and sale of both goods and services are bound by constraints in demand, supply, capacity, capability, and a myriad of other parameters.

In this assignment, consider the strategic implications of how an organization produces and interacts with its partners, customers, and suppliers.

Research supply chain management processes. Based on your research, complete the following:

Describe the overall goal of a supply chain.
Describe the difference between a supply that is responsive (service) and a supply chain that is efficient. Can a supply chain be both?
How can an organization optimize supply chain management to improve results and remove obstacles? Support your answer with two current examples.
Based on your learning from your research, what additional recommendations might add to what was accomplished?

Write a 3–5-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources

Discuss the implications of the wide range of conditions that may apply to an industry such as the auto industry, where workers with similar skills experience disparate treatment in different countries.

You have been tasked to develop a presentation for the organization’s senior management on the future of unions and collective bargaining in a global environment, as your company is considering overseas expansion. Based on your readings and additional research, create a PowerPoint presentation aimed at informing managers of the potential for unions (such as the UAW) to organize manufacturing workers in foreign countries. Address the following in your presentation:

Discuss the implications of the wide range of conditions that may apply to an industry such as the auto industry, where workers with similar skills experience disparate treatment in different countries.

Analyze the challenges for multi-national companies based in the United States to ensure that the global workplace will provide fair wages and a working environment that promotes employee health and safety.
Articulate how global events may influence more opportunities for unions to organize these workers.

Throughout your presentation, provide specific examples to illustrate your analysis. For instance, identify specific industries and countries used to complete your presentation.

Conclude your presentation by recommending whether or not to consider union representation in the foreign marketplace. You may discover that in some countries, you would consider it and in others you would not.
