Work philosophy

/in /by

This is a statement of your beliefs about yourself, people and your outlook on life in your industry. Your work philosophy is often used to see if you match the culture of the business. Do you fit the “style” of the company? (Accounting)

Activity – List 5 adjectives that you think other’s might use to describe you.  (Note, not how you might describe yourself, but how you think others see you). Use the adjectives to guide your work philosophy statement, serving as the core thoughts and keywords

Here’s how to approach this assignment:

  • Don’t rush it – give this some time to “percolate” so that you get it right.
  • Place your most important belief first – should be unique to you, should communicate who you are and what makes you different from others who may want the same position
  • Length – one to four sentences
  • Use bullets for clarity

Sample Work Philosophy

  • The customer always comes first
  • Financial and operational controls must be clear to all members of the company
  • Technology will be critical in reaching the guests and communicating within the company
  • I want to be part of a cohesive team of people.

Marketing in the digital age is very dynamic; it is necessary to monitor multiple digital channels and platforms to engage with your target audience without missing any opportunity. Digital channels and platforms are measurable and allow for monitoring performance of your marketing efforts in real time.

As a regional marketing director in the course scenario, you are tasked with designing a phased marketing strategy for reopening the park. You have already done an analysis of brand implications and have identified suitable traditional marketing methods to address the marketing needs for park reopening. As the organization has chosen a blended approach (traditional plus digital) for marketing, your CMO wants you to create a digital marketing strategy to go with the traditional marketing strategy you already determined.

The transformation of NATO

/in /by

The focus for the review article assignment is the following is the transformation of NATO after the end of the Cold War. It would be great if you could use the Ukraine invasion as part of the context when writing the review article.

Topic: The Transformation of NATO after the Cold War

Try to identify opposing perspectives and readings on the topic. Some scholars would argue that NATO is no longer relevant after the Cold War, whereas others would argue in favor of the continuous role of NATO, probably with a different goal.

I have selected a couple of articles that you can use. See them attached.

Structure of the review article: 7-8 pages, 1.5 space, Times New Roman, 12 font size. It should be around 2500-3000 words, including the References.

It would be better to include at least two or three articles/book chapters/policy papers to analyze for the review article assignment.

Decision about Relocating Manufacturing operations

/in /by

Because the decision about relocating manufacturing operations to the United States is so important, the board of directors at AutoEdge continues to systematically discuss every aspect of the situation.

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400-600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas:

The following week, CEO Lester Scholl meets you for coffee to discuss next week’s board meeting.

“I’m hearing good things about you,” he says. “Ingrid and George tell me you’ve been very responsive and helpful.”

“That’s good to hear,” you say. “I’ve enjoyed working with them.”

“We’re both busy, so I’ll get right to the point,” he says. “One of the main objectives of any business is to be efficient. Without efficiency, the company is essentially losing money. Am I right?”

“Absolutely,” you say.

“What must AutoEdge do,” he says, “to obtain economies of scale with production? How do we know that it has achieved economies of scale? Conversely, how do we know if it is achieving diseconomies of scale?”

“That’s a good question,” you say. “I can understand why you ask.”

But before you can respond, Lester’s cell phone rings. After a minute, he ends the call and stands.

“I have to get back to the office to handle an emergency,” he says. “Would you send me an e-mail with an answer to my questions, please?”

“No problem,” you say. “I’ll get it to you before I leave work this afternoon.”

“I appreciate it,” he says. “Thanks.”
