*Make sure to write a nice conclusion reflecting it back to the book*
Please read the article provided in the following link. Also, listen to the accompanying TedTalk. Summarize both sources (briefly!), make as many connections as you can to the assigned Module chapters and discuss the implications of this article for leading in the workplace. Bracket these sections with thoughtful introductory and concluding comments.Mainly, I am interested in knowing if your research leads you to believe that this is really something leaders should be mindful of or is it just more media hype. In your work please do not incorporate bias and stereotype (as much as it can be avoided). There are no data indicating that older workers are less effective on the job or cannot use technologies. Neither are there consistent findings that workers under 30 are “me”-oriented or unable to function without constant reinforcement or fast-track promotions. Keep the writing to what the research tells us. Additionally, explore the paradox of the \’generations\’ discussion with the phenomenon described by Rainer Strack in his Ted.http://www.dol.gov/odep/pdf/NTAR_Employer_Strategies_Report.pdf (Links to an external site.)https://www.ted.com/talks/rainer_strack_the_surprising_workforce_crisis_of_2030_and_how_to_start_solving_it_now (Links to an external site.)(Links to an external site.)A separate reference page (in APA format) should accompany the paper. This should also include the textbook, if you refer to it in this summary. Be sure to cite references when used in the paper. I grade this part heavily so use the web to find a brief guide to using the APA style. There is no reason to lose valuable grading points on minor stuff like writing and style violations. Once source of APA is http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/. (Links to an external site.)Additionally, draw upon the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov) for information on the implications of the so-called aging workforce. Additional sources are also welcome.For a passing grade, the project must be of sufficient quality and at least two pages in length, single-spaced, 12-point font, one-inch margins, etc. All formal writing rules apply. Do not write from the first or second person perspectives. Use APA style guidelines. This is the same as for the other papers you have written for me.
Read the case – \”Highline Financial Services, Ltd\” (Chapter 3, p. 133). Determine and analyze thecompany\’s operational management issues; provide this information within your paper. As your\”Resolution\”, answer the following three questions:a. Forecast (predict) the companies demand for these three services (A, B, & C) over the next fourquarters. Include a table showing your calculations.b. What general observations can you make comparing this forecasted demand to past servicesdemand history?c. Which service should Freddie be most concerned with? Explain.The typed paper should be two-three full pages in length, Times New Roman font size 11 or 12, one-inch margins, double-spacing between lines, have no mechanical/grammatical errors, and adhere to APAformatting guidelines.
There are various screening and assessment tools that may be used in addictions. Discuss the concepts of sensitivity, specificity, reliability and validity and explain why each is so important to proper diagnosis and treatment planning. Select three different assessment or screening devices that you might use in your work as a clinician, and compare and contrast these measures on the dimensions of sensitivity, specificity, reliability and validity. Of the three measures which you described, which one do you feel is stronger and why? How could you use these assessment tools in different types of settings? Conclude with a brief discussion about the ethical, legal, individual and socio-cultural implications of screening and assessment to consider when selecting an appropriate tool. Be sure to fully support your position by providing both in-text citations and a full reference page as per APA style guidelines.
Week 3 Discussion – Customer Service(discussion only)
The pdf includes the material needed for the assignment
One of the biggest myths that we should dispel during this course concerns the use of \”Company Call
Centers\”, and how well their representatives provide some measure of customer service. The specific myth goes something like this – you call a customer service number and are put on hold with a message stating something to the effect – \”Due to the high-call volume of calls, your wait time could be several
minutes.\” We know from your readings most companies could predict (i.e., forecast) their daily call volumes within very small error estimates using some of the statistical techniques discussed in these two chapters. This seems to suggest that most managers running call centers would prefer to run their
operations overcapacity (i.e., the amount of anticipated calls exceeds staffing levels). An educated guess is that most callers will get so frustrated that they will hang up and try to figure out a solution to their problem using the organizations website, or call again at a later date and time slot. Many companies during this \’wait time\’ (via a recorded message) provide an \”Option\” to the caller, and direct
clients to visit their website and review their \”Frequently Asked Questions\” FAQ), or to leave their name and phone number for a call back from the company call center.Of course, in fairness to companies that run Call Centers, answering phone calls is an expensive proposition. Most estimates range from $5.00-$10.00 to handle each call once all costs are factored in. This can eliminate part of a firm\’s profit margin pretty quickly; however, customer satisfaction should one of the primary goals at the end of each call. In many cases, the end of your call states a question – \”Did your call center representative answer your question to your satisfaction?\”The evolution of technology and the impact that this will ultimately have (or has had) on capacity planning is of particular interest. Instead of building new facilities around the country, many companies have moved their business operations to \”24/7 Call Centers\” with limited facilities that distribute/ship products, and limited facilities that service these same products.
The question before us today is – \”What are the ultimate implications for demand forecasting and capacity planning in relation to the above scenario/discussion? What changes have you seen or do you foresee in the future for technology advances in customer services?

When the opening motive is not a clear part of the main musical idea, as is the case, for example, at 0:53 and 2:20, where and how might a related musical figure still be present?Can you help me with this The opening of Beethoven\’s Symphony No. 5 could be the most recognizable moment in all of classical music. Surely you know it. The familiar short-short-short-long motive hammers a single pitch three times, and then plummets: dah-dah-dah-DAAAAH. But here pitch isn\’t as important as rhythm and its repetition. To see what that means, just watch the animation. It shows how the short-short-short-long riff pops up over and over again in the score. Sometimes the shorts continue to repeat, sometimes the long is held even longer. But from this one musical motive the entire piece grows organically.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRgXUFnfKIY
