Write 5 pages with APA style on Motivation in an Economic Downturn

/in /by

The needs of the employee may not always be apparent, but through using techniques that are designed to stimulate needs while still maintaining the restricted needs of the company, employee output can be increased so that the quality of work is maintained.

McClelland’s Acquired Need Theory suggests that there are three primary needs that will motivate an employee toward greater work output. The first need is the need for achievement. This need is identified by the need to continue to attain higher levels of success through challenges that create a high standard, master complex tasks or provide an opportunity to surpass others. The second need is identified as the need for affiliation. This need is based upon a socialization need whereby the employee can form personal relationships, diminish conflicts, and be able to establish a warm friendship within the workplace. The third and final need that David McClelland designated is that of the need for power. This need is defined by responsibilities, control, and authority through influence or designation.

In a poor economy it is difficult to provide these motivations for employees when a company is struggling to stay afloat. Basic ways in which a company will most often provide these incentives, through advancement and monetary reward, may no longer be feasible. In fact, it is possible that an employee will feel as if their motivations are being disintegrated and his or her potential within that position is no longer attainable. According to Clutterbuck employee motivation is “ a fragile flower that needs nurturing” and it is “hard to get even short termed results out of a dissatisfied workforce”.

When completing an initial assessment for a client with suicidal ideation, what are the most important pieces of information that should be captured?

/in /by

Did this video change your opinion on suicide?

I always believed that most people who die of suicide are too selfish and do not care about those around them, and all they care about is taking an easy route out. This is not true, ninety-eight per cent of the people who die of suicide don’t take this step to hurt others, most of them do it because they are facing an emotional mental pain that they actually can’t sustain. Those contemplating to die of suicide should be supported and helped to seek treatment that can help them fight the suicidal trauma and thoughts.

What did the video teach you about suicide?

Suicide is a progressive process; it does not happen instantly. Most victims start by having negative thoughts whereby some may think that no one cares about them while, everybody cares about themselves. These then develop into a mental health condition called extreme paranoia where the victim starts feeling like everyone is lying to them or is trying to harm them. After extreme paranoia, some victims may also experience symptoms of mania where the victim becomes easily distracted, becomes unusually talkative, increased racing thoughts decreased sleep and increased energy and activity all these are then followed by hallucinations which may be both auditory and visual. Once these symptoms are observed on a person, immediate medical treatment should be sought to help the victim fight the suicidal thoughts. Again, nurses should “create conditions for open and genuine communication” (Vandewalle et al., 2019) that is caregivers should always make themselves available for patients to promote good relationship among the healthcare team and the patients.

When completing an initial assessment for a client with suicidal ideation, what are the most important pieces of information that should be captured?

When completing an initial assessment for a client with suicidal ideation, information such as the victim’s experiences, feelings, plans and the misinterpretations of situations should be well captured and recorded down. Once this information has been captured, it will be easier to determine the cause of the victim’s thoughts and proper treatment will be given to help the victim. A close assessment of the victim’s healing process should also be factored in to monitor the progress and impact of the medication.

prepare and submit a paper on budget in management control systems.

/in /by

The first and most critical step of this paper is to understand what a budget actually is and what it entails for an organization. The budget is a written documented statement of the plans of a company set forth by the management which demarcated in monetary terms is known as a budget statement. This report is basically indicative of the future performance of the company following the perceptions of the managers. The process of budgeting in the eyes of many is basically the lawful marriage of the accounting and the managerial entities that exist inside a business. However, according to most of the renowned personalities in this field, the process of budgeting is more the prerogative of the managerial function of the business rather than the financial function which is backed by the rationale that the formulation of this plan is in an attempt to better aid and abet the managers of the firm in the proper and utility-maximizing mechanism of management of the firm (Churchill, 1991). Systems for decision making, determining the objectives for the company, and earmarking the main concerns of the organization all come under the jurisdiction of the formulated budget. Now, the budget is not merely a managerial instrument but rather has accounting implications, as well as the future goals of the company, are interpreted into financial goals that have to be met. Therefore, it would not be wrong in considering that a budget is perhaps the most effectual mode of business management that is present in the contemporary business landscape (Demski, 1994).

The level of revenue that will be appropriated for the business activities of the business will be determined by the budget and this allocated amount will determine the level of outlays that the business can ascertain and the&nbsp.final closing balance present to the operators of the business at the end of the period of activity for which the budget was ascertained.

AutoCAD Electrical and electrical engineers are interconnected. AutoCAD Electrical software is designed specifically for electrical engineers. In this paper, first, the technology of AutoCAD Electrical software is described along with its tools and features. AutoCAD Electrical is a successful software and businesses are adopting the software for their designing needs. AutoCAD Electrical facilitates with many features that accommodate electrical engineers with better opportunities for designing and drafting electrical applications.

In the electrical industry, AutoCAD Electrical software is employed for designing operations and many businesses are shifting from AutoCAD to AutoCAD Electrical because of the efficacy of the software. It is said that AutoCAD Electrical software is designed with better features as compared to AutoCAD. It also helps in making non-electrical designs into electrical designs.

After the development of AutoCAD Electrical software, the working procedures of the electrical industry are affected a lot as with AutoCAD Electrical software, the designing procedures are faster, accurate, reliable, supportive, and flexible. The future of AutoCAD Electrical software is very bright as it is made cost-effective and effective. The organizations are adopting the software for their business operations related to designing and drafting.

AutoCAD Electrical is a technology that is gaining a reputation with time. Because of the efficacy of the software, businesses are accessing the software for their needs. AutoCAD Electrical is the enhanced version of AutoCAD that is considered a world leader in the development of 2D and 3D designs and drafting (Brunette, 2007b). AutoCAD Electrical is the application software that is designed especially for electrical engineers for accommodating them in designing electrical applications and designs (Chadwick, 2006). The software is designed by Autodesk that has previously designed AutoCAD (Pfeifer, 2007). The software has come up as a major support in the electrical industry because of its specification in terms of the electrical field (Shaum, 2006). AutoCAD Electrical can be used by mechanical and electrical engineers collaboratively.

RESEARCH – Use it ONLY to Make Your Ideas Stronger

Adding research to your memo is not difficult. Even though 306 SPORTS INC and our Rocket Board are mythical, the REAL research you add can be very helpful.

Up to this point of our class and your writing, I have wanted to hear only your opinion, your thoughts, your analysis. I have asked you to stay far away from research. (Many modern writers are too quick to add outside sources because research is now so easy to find. Your phone is now a library!) This eagerness to add research has lead to a lack of personal opinion and a lack of analytical skills.

However, there are times in the business world when research WILL help you.

If you are going to start your own business in San Bernardino, think of all the helpful information you could find by doing some research: what specific areas are fastest growing, what is the local demographic, how have other businesses fared in this area, what expenses can you predict, what might the interest rates be in the future, what have the rates been in the past? There are hundreds of research options to help prepare you to open a business.

If you plan on getting financing for your business, many banks will require you to create a business plan. Inside this business plan, you might be expected to project costs and revenue. Your research will help you calculate this information. And, you will be expected to have added this research to the business report, which the bank will use to determine your loan.

Here is how you might add research to a business report:

According to the City of San Bernardino’s official website, “San Bernardino is offering significant tax incentives to small business owners. As a result, small businesses have seen a healthy increase in profit over the past 5 years – averaging a 23% increase in sales from 2014- 2019.”(ci.san-bernardino.ca.us)

Additionally, in a recent survey of businesses located in downtown and northern San Bernardino, 85% of business owners have noticed a “significant” increase in walk-in customers during the past calender year. (thesun.newspaper.org)

In a recent interview, the Mayor of San Bernardino, Bradley Cooper, had this to say about the improving conditions for small businesses, “The negativity surrounding San Bernardino is gone. People are beginning to see the benefit of living, shopping, and going to school in San Bernardino. This new found optimism is creating a financial benefit felt throughout the city.” (smallbusinessnews.net)

This is how I want you to approach the research aspect of this assignment. Find three or four sources that help you make your case to the reader.

So, you are required to do several things – anwer your critics about the safety of the Rocket Board and the  “ethical” nature of your company; explain what you are going to do about the current lawsuts; and what you plan to do moving forward to keep 306 SPORTS INC profitable.  You need to use research to convince the readers (306 SPORTS INC community) your plans and ideas are sound. The research you add is, of course, up to you, but I want it to be legitimate. Find actual sources that support your ideas.

First, you have to answer your critics who claim you and your company behaved unethically. They claim you knew this product was dangerous and could harm users. Do you have a responsibility to protect your customers? NO?  Too bad, kid – you should have worn a helmet? Buyer beware? It’s the parents’ fault? Is this really what an ETHICAL PERSON AND COMPANY want to say to the public? Perhaps you want to explain how your company actually is HELPING society by provding skatebaords.

How about this approach: during the COVID pandemic, the CDC recommends people (especially children) find ways to stay physically active while maintaining social distancing (CDC/covid/sports.gov). SKATEBOARDING IS THE PERECT SPORT – it requires no teammates, no coaches, no arena. Skatebaording is the safest and most effective sport for users to remain healthy and avoid large groups and thereby avoid a possible COVID infection. 306 SPORTS INC is not behaving unethically – we are helping the community stay active and healthy during these tough times. If riders of the Rocket Board wear the required safety gear, the chances of injuries is significantly lessened.

What research can you think of to help you address the issue of responsibility? Are there laws that protect you and other businesses from responsibility? Are there other companies that have faced similar situations? Come up with a response (ideas and a plan) then GO FIND research to help you make your position clear and strong!

What about those lawsuits? What’s the plan? FIGHT? Do you want to see users of your product in court? Do you want them to explain to a jury how they bought your product and were severly injured? Some of the injured are young children. Is it wise to make this issue more public? How will this impact your business?

Is the plan to SETTLE these lawsuits? Do you have the money to do this? Do you admit you are responsible? How will this impact your profit?

You can use research for a possible solution; what have other companies done when facing similar lawsuits?

Finally, business is about ONE thing – as we have said during this BUSINESS ETHICS discussion = MONEY$$$!!!

Let’s say you want to remind your readers that selling skateboards (especially one of the most popular models) is very profitable and your company will remain very profitable if it continues to focus on the extreme model – the Rocket Board:

We know the demand for”extreme sports equipment” is very high. The website SkateBoard Heroes predicts sales of the top skateboard brands will exceed 10 million units this holiday season. Our own marketing department preditcs our share of these sales will be 2 million unts, which translates to $10 million in profts this year. Those readers who want you to consider limiting sales of the Rocket Board might change their minds when they see the potential profit!

So is your plan to continue doing what you are doing? Do you plan to alter the product? add warning labels? create age restrictions? REALLY? All of these options would damage sales and profit won’t they?  Create a plan and use research to help you.

Now, what about sources?

How do I add the sources to my memo?

I want you to add the name of the website to your memo whenever you use source material. You can add it to the text: According to the website extremesportsinjuries.org, “In 2016, 115 deaths had been linked to extreme sports participation. But only two of those deaths were associated with skateboarding and both deaths were determined to be user error.”

OR, you can add the website in parenthesis at the end of the information: “In 2016, 115 deaths had been linked to extreme sports participation. But only two of those deaths were associated with skateboarding and both deaths were determined to be user error.” (extremesportsinjuries.org). The PERIOD goes outside the parenthesis and the name of the website is italicized.

Where do I find sources?

The library! Yeah, right. What decade is it? Yes, the library used to be the place that housed all research material. Now, your pocket has the material you need. Most research (not all) is found on-line. So, you can use your phone or other electronic resources to find research.

What kinds of sources should I use?

Well, what subject are you researching? If you are writing an academic paper about infectious viruses, you would NOT want to use The National Enquirer, right? But, if you are writing an academic paper about the impact the paparazzi has had on our opinions of celebrities, then the Enquirer might be a great place to find source material.

So, for this assignment, use legitimate, respected, reputable sources. Most newspapers, government sites, national magazines, and journals are fine. Consumer groups’ website are tricky, but most are effective. Use your own judgment and use quality sources. There is no shortage of sources, so you should have no trouble finding credible information.

How Many Sources Should I Use?

This is easy. The “rule of thumb” for most research assignments is: use, on average, one source per page. If you have a 10 page research paper, you should have approximately 10 sources. If you have a 25 page research paper, you should have about 25 sources. This is for future papers you will write.

What are we creating? A 2, 3, 4 page memo. You should have a few sources, 3 or 4 is good. Obviously, 6-10 is way too many. But using 1 or 2 sources is probably too few.

You do not have to create an external works cited page. Because we are using just a few sources, you can add the information to the text of the memo.

FINALLY

Remember, I want YOUR IDEAS, YOUR OPINION, YOUR ANALYSIS. The quality of your writing is still the main focus of this assignment. The majority of your grade is based on the writing you create.

Research is designed to assist you as you make your points to the reader. So, do NOT begin this memo by doing research about the positives or negatives of skateboarding. Begin by writing down your ideas. Answer each part of the memo’s questions, first. Figure out what you want to say – THEN go find some research that will help you make your position stronger and more effective.
