This assignment will help you prepare for the next module’s assignment about Workforce 2020. Workforce 2020 refers to the type of workforce leaders are likely to encounter in 2020. The concept refers to the workforce that will emerge from trends such as increased globalization and diversity, more extensive use of technology, and the use of non-traditional staff such as more contractors and other “just-in-time” assets.

For this assignment, you will need to consider trends in leadership and organizational structure, for example, the move toward a more participative leadership style and a more networked organizational structure.

Identify an organization of your choice. This could be your current employer. It could even be a hypothetical organization or that of one of your peers. Be sure you have access to information about the organization and about the industry the organization is in. We would suggest choosing an organization and industry that are changing so that you can explore strategies for change management.

Research on that organization, and then respond to the following:

Describe the organization you have chosen. Please include the name and a short description of the organization’s products or services.
How does the organization motivate its employees? Describe any programs or methods they use to motivate workers. If the organization does not have any employee motivational strategies, suggest some strategies that you think will be effective.
Describe the current state of the organization’s workforce dynamic. Is its workforce growing? Is it changing? How is it changing and why?
What are some of the workforce trends that this organization needs to address? What similar organizations can be used as a benchmark?
What are some of the industry trends that are affecting the organization overall? Is the industry growing, or declining?

Write your initial response in 3–5 pages in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Now that your ordering system is constructed in a truly object-oriented manner, you can take advantage of this organization. Consider another product that is similar to your existing product but that has one property or attribute that is somewhat different. As a concrete example, assume that your product has a size property and that the valid values for size are large, medium, and small. A slightly different product might use size values 10”, 15”, 20”, and 25”. These two products would have names: a string. However, the value in the name field would be different for these two different kinds of products. In particular, one is an int and the other is a string.

Complete the following:

Create a base class (also called a superclass) that contains all of the properties that are common to both of these products. Create 2 derived classes (also called subclasses) that contain different kinds of sizes. If your product does not already have a name property, you will need to add one along with appropriate get- and set-methods.
Modify your program so that at an appropriate point in the ordering process, the program requests the name or kind of product. At that point, the correct kind of product class needs to be instantiated. Polymorphism should ensure that the correct kind of size information or method is used.
Modify your program so that it requests 3 products. Create an array of products and save all of the product instances in this array. You might want to think about how an indefinite number of product orders might be handled. However, do not implement this extension for this course.
You will need to change how you handle file output or input. Instead of creating or writing a new file for each product, you need to create an empty file when the program starts. Each new product should then be added to the file. You no longer need to create the confirmation dialog based on data that are read back in after each individual product is ordered. Instead, you will confirm the entire 3-product order after all 3 product orders have been completed. This can be done by reading the order file and displaying or confirming the product orders one after another.
You must revisit your UML diagrams one last time and revise them to represent the final online ordering system in structural diagrams (the class diagrams) and in a behavioral diagram (the use case diagram).

An integral part of the strategic planning process is to gather information. One method of doing this is by conducting a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis. Now that you have reviewed your chosen standards, you will examine the impact of both internal and external forces on your chosen facility.

Conduct a SWOT analysis for your chosen facility that examines the forces that may affect the facility.
Be sure to pay particular attention to the issues of financing, productivity, and marketing, as well as others you feel have the potential to impact the facility.
Present your SWOT analysis using a standard SWOT analysis matrix.
Below your SWOT analysis, identify and discuss at least one issue from each section of your SWOT analysis in further detail in an effort to analyze why you feel the chosen issue may have the greatest impact on the facility.
When discussing your weakness and threats, be sure to include:
1–2 goals that should be created to improve in these areas
A brief description (1–2 paragraphs) of a plan of action to improve in these area that includes how you will accomplish the goals that you set in the first bullet point. In an action plan, there is usually a time frame, steps to how you plan to meet the goals you set, and how you will measure the goals.
