As the HR Director, you must use different employment law requirements to create methods and policies that support the promotion of a diverse workforce. Select one (1) job opportunity that you have held or with which you are familiar within the same organization for this scenario.

(Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of these assignments. In your original work, you may use aspects of existing processes from either your current or a former place of employment. However, you must remove any and all identifying information that would enable someone to discern the organization[s] that you have used.)

Write a ten to twelve (10-12) page paper in which you:

1. Develop three (3) recruitment methods for the job opportunity in question, and suggest two (2) ways that each method helps one to avoid discriminatory practices. Justify your response.
2. Outline an application process that details the organization’s method of accepting all applications, as well as its method of validating applicants’ attainment of the required credentials (e.g., reviewing resumes, collecting transcripts, verifying certifications, etc.) for the job opportunity.
3. Develop a five- (5) step procedure for the HR Department to use in order to maintain all applicants’ records in case a discriminatory charge occurs.
4. Decide on three (3) background checks that the HR Department must utilize, and justify the relevance of each background check for the job opportunity.
5. Choose three (3) employment tests (e.g., drug tests, medical examinations, HIV tests, generic tests, polygraphs, honesty tests, psychological tests, intelligence and skills tests, and physical fitness, etc.) that the HR Department should use. Justify the relevance of each selected employment test to the job requirements.
6. Formulate a policy for making both the hiring and promotional decisions related to the job opportunity. Specify the major challenges and potential adverse impact of using subjective criteria for assessing soft skills. Next, suggest one (1) plan to mitigate the adverse impact. Justify your suggestion.
7. Recommend two (2) types of reasonable accommodations for both disabled applicants and applicants needing special religious considerations. Argue two (2) legal reasons for not being able to sufficiently provide such reasonable accommodation for each group.
8. Select one (1) case in which a court charged an organization with an affirmative action violation and one (1) case in which a court charged the organization with not managing harassment issues more expeditiously. Recommend an action plan geared toward preventing the issues addressed in both cases within your selected organization. Justify your recommendation.

Using the regression results and the other computations from Assignment 1, determine the market structure in which the low-calorie frozen, microwavable food company operates.

Use the Internet to research two (2) of the leading competitors in the low-calorie frozen, microwavable food industry, and take note of their pricing strategies, profitability, and their relationships within the industry (worldwide).

Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:

Outline a plan that will assess the effectiveness of the market structure for the company’s operations. Note: In Assignment 1, the assumption was that the market structure [or selling environment] was perfectly competitive and that the equilibrium price was to be determined by setting QD equal to QS. You are now aware of recent changes in the selling environment that suggest an imperfectly competitive market where your firm now has substantial market power in setting its own “optimal” price.
Given that business operations have changed from the market structure specified in the original scenario in Assignment 1, determine two (2) likely factors that might have caused the change. Predict the primary manner in which this change would likely impact business operations in the new market environment.
Analyze the major short run and long cost functions for the low-calorie, frozen microwaveable food company given the cost functions below. Suggest substantive ways in which the low-calorie food company may use this information in order to make decisions in both the short-run and the long-run.

TC = 160,000,000 + 100Q + 0.0063212Q2

VC = 100Q + 0.0063212Q2

MC= 100 + 0.0126424Q

Determine the possible circumstances under which the company should discontinue operations. Suggest key actions that management should take in order to confront these circumstances. Provide a rationale for your response. (Hint: Your firm’s price must cover average variable costs in the short run and average total costs in the long run to continue operations.)
Suggest one (1) pricing policy that will enable your low-calorie, frozen microwavable food company to maximize profits. Provide a rationale for your suggestion.

(Hints:

In Assignment 1, you determined your firm’s market demand equation. Now you need to find the inverse demand equation. Having found that, find the Total Revenue function for your firm (TR is P x Q). From your firm’s Total Revenue function, then find your Marginal Revenue (MR) function.
Use the profit maximization rule MR = MC to determine your optimal price and optimal output level now that you have market power. Compare these values with the values you generated in Assignment 1. Determine whether your price higher is or lower.)

Outline a plan, based on the information provided in the scenario, which the company could use in order to evaluate its financial performance. Consider all the key drivers of performance, such as company profit or loss for both the short term and long term, and the fundamental manner in which each factor influences managerial decisions.

(Hints:

Calculate profit in the short run by using the price and output levels you generated in part 5. Optional: You may want to compare this to what profit would have been in Assignment 1 using the cost function provided here.
Calculate profit in the long run by using the output level you generated in part 5 and cost data in part 3 and assuming that the selling environment will likely be very competitive. Determine why this would be a valid assumption.)

Recommend two (2) actions that the company could take in order to improve its profitability and deliver more value to its stakeholders. Outline, in brief, a plan to implement your recommendations.
Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia does not qualify as an academic resource.

There are two primary theoretical perspectives that you will be examining throughout this course—the behavioral approach and the cognitive approach. As you begin this course, it is important to understand the foundation for each of these theories and how they differ from each other. As you come to understand these two perspectives, consider which of these is a good fit for your perspective on learning and behavior. Alternatively, you may find that you prefer a combination of the two, which is the basis for the cognitive-behavioral theory of learning.

Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research the behavioral approach and cognitive approach. Conduct two searches using the following phrases:

Behavioral theory of learning
Cognitive theory of learning

Place quotation marks around the phrase you are searching for so your search engine is more effective in locating relevant results.

Then, address the following:

Describe the foundational principles of each approach.
Compare and contrast the two approaches, specifically detailing where they differ from each other.
State which of the two approaches you most identify with. Give reasons for your answers.

Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Be sure to include a title page and a reference page. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3.doc. For example, if your name is John Smith, your document will be named SmithJ_M1_A3.doc

Describe how you would design a logistics network consisting of only one warehouse.  In the discussion, include the steps you need to take in order to design the optimal network.  What information and data is needed to make this determination?  What strategy will be employed in this network?

below are two different types of work each has to be separate from each other with two paragraph for each.

Discuss the demographics of the audience you may have to speak to in your career field. Also, what issue would they care more about in your field?

Discussion Rules: Your post must have at least 2 paragraphs with 4-5 complete sentences in each paragraph. Show you read the chapter by citing the textbook and/or videos, understand it, and must be relevant to the question.

Which delivery skill do you feel that you need to improve? How might you work on improving this skill?

Discussion Rules: Your post must have at least 2 paragraphs with 4-5 complete sentences in each paragraph. Show you read the chapter by citing the textbook and/or videos, understand it, and must be relevant to the question

A home care nurse is seeing an 81 years old man who is taking a complex medication regimen. He cannot remember when he last took several of his medications, and his wife states she is confused by the recent switch of several drugs to other generic brands. What questions should the nurse ask to establish the patient’s risk for noncompliance? What are the nurse responsibilities in the case?

The first half of the paper should review the main points raised by the author. The second half of the paper should examine the quality and applications, offer a critique of some of the author’s points or consider how useful the article is. Is it solid research?
Must include references throughout the paper whenever you are dependent on outside sources. Your paper should also include a reference page at the end of the article review.

The Broadway Cafe has five traditional lines of business: (1) coffee sales; (2) music sales; (3) food sales; (4) retail sales; and (5) promotional sales such as coffee-of-the-month. Your current IT infrastructure is pieced together with various systems and applications. Currently, you have a difficult time with CRM because your systems are not integrated. You cannot determine vital information such as which customers are ordering coffee and not food or music and not coffee. For example, the three details that the customer Diego Quintos (1) ordered four cappuccinos, (2) three CDs, and (3) two coffee-of-the-month gift coupons, are discrete facts housed in separate systems. You hope that by using CRM technology to integrate your data, the next time Diego purchases a cup of coffee a sales associate could ask him how he is enjoying his CDs, or if his friends liked the coffee-of-the-month gifts.

PROJECT FOCUS:

You are excited about the possibility of taking advantage of customer segmentation and CRM strategies to help increase business. You want to use CRM technologies to improve service and personalization at each customer touch point. Using a data warehousing tool, important customer information can be accessed from all of your systems – either daily, weekly, monthly, or once or twice per year. Analyze the sample data in the CRM_AYK.xls file (Available in Additional materials) for the following:

1. Currently, the quality of the data within the above disparate systems is low. Identify problems with the current data and develop a report discussing the importance of high quality information and how low quality information can affect the cafe’s business.
2. Review the data and give examples displaying the kind of information the Broadway Cafe could use to gain a better understanding of its customers. Include the types of data quality issues the company can anticipate and the strategies it can use to help avoid such issues.
3. Determine who are the cafe’s best customers, and provide examples of the types of marketing campaigns the cafe should offer these valuable customers.
