Internal Research Proposal for Office Equipment – Instructions

Assume that our office needs new equipment such as copy machines, scanners, tablet computers, smartphones, or an all- in one printer.  Do the research necessary to write a convincing internal proposal for me: Dr. Al Santillanes, Vice President.

As your vice president, I have asked you to research and recommend a piece of equipment for our office.  The selection of the piece of equipment is up to you depending on your interest; however, make it sound like I required the piece of equipment in your direct tone response to my assignment.  Since it is an internal proposal, please be sure to select the appropriate format (see Files section with new name).

Also, make sure to properly research your recommendation by comparing, evaluating and providing research sources (cited appropriately in your sources section) for your recommendation. In addition, I want to see your sources as you make an informed recommendation to me on the piece of equipment for our office.

Please note that this business report should be three-to-four, single-spaced pages in length, not including the bibliography or reference page.  While you are required to recommend a piece of office equipment.  I would like you to compare three different brands of similar office equipment!  For example, if you were recommending a new office printer you need to compare three different brands (say Canon, HP (Hewlett Packard), and Brother) with similar features and with factors such as cost, connectivity,  color vs. black and white, etc.  Whatever office equipment you select make sure to compare all three similar products with similar features and evaluation factors.

Which of the following responses best exemplifies a person-focussed or sociological approach to music and counters the other person’s work-focused approach?

/in /by

Scenario: You’re talking to someone about likes and dislikes in music. The person gets on their high horse

and says “Popular music is garbage because it’s musically simplistic. It has so little harmonic complexity. It’s clearly inferior to jazz which has much harmonic sophistication.” Which of the following responses best exemplifies a person-focussed or sociological approach to music and counters the other person’s work-focused approach?

A) “According to research in psychology, the single most effective way of proving the superiority of one thing over another is to indignantly, loudly, and repeatedly use the phrase ‘In this day and age…’ So with that in mind, I would offer that anyone who prefers jazz over popular music is ignoring what music has become in this day and age! In this day and age, popular music is the dominant style of music because it has taken over the internet. And internet presence—in this day and age—is THE defining factor in determining the quality of anything.”

B) “By defining musical quality by harmonic sophistication, you are taking the value system of one musical style and applying it to another musical style. It’s apples to oranges. Good popular musicians don’t aspire suit the values of jazz. The value system of popular music includes using lyrics, performer image and visual effects to make maximum impact on an audience; and by this definition of musical quality, most jazz would amount to garbage.”

C) “In live performance of, our perception of what we hear in the music is affected by what we see. Fans of jazz music are mistaken when they assert that the music is more complex than pop and rock styles. What’s really happening is a mixing up of the two senses of hearing and sight. Because jazz musicians act sophisticated and complex on stage, audience members end up thinking their music sounds that way too. The only way to objectively compare the merits of popular music and jazz is through a blind-fold listening test.”

D) “Popular musicians can be just as sophisticated as jazz musicians, but they usually choose to be simplistic with their music because the emotions they wish to express are basic human emotions like love and anger. When a popular musicians wants to express something more complex like forbidden love or repressed anger, their music does show the harmonic sophistication that is more characteristic of jazz or classical music.”

Scenario:

A radiologist on the staff of a large community hospital was stopped after a staff meeting by a colleague in internal medicine. On Monday of the previous week, the internist referred an elderly man with chronic, productive cough for chest X-ray, with a clinical diagnosis of bronchitis. Thursday morningthe internist received the radiologist’s written X-ray report with a diagnosis of “probable bronchogenic carcinoma.” The internist expressed his dismay that the radiologist had not called him much earlier with a verbal report. Visibly upset, the internist raised his voice, but did not use abusive language.

  1. How should the radiologist handle this conflict with the internist?

Scenario:

A manager who reports to the Vice President for Clinical Affairs (VPCA) of a tertiary-care hospital hired a young woman to supervise development of a large community outreach program. During the first four months of her employment, several behavioral problems came to the VPCA’s attention: (1) complaints from community physicians that the coordinator criticizes other physicians in public; (2) concerns from two community leaders that the coordinator is not truthful; and (3) written reports about the project that label and blame others, sometimes in language that is disrespectful. The VPCA spoke several times to the manager about these problems. The manager reported other dissatisfactions with the coordinator’s performance, but he showed no sign of dealing with the behavior. Two more complaints come in, one from an influential community leader.

Supporting Document 2: Resistance Risk Mitigation Intervention TableDue Week 6 and worth 100 pointsUsing the same scenario from Assignment 1, you realize that transitioning your organization to a learning environment may not be as easy as first imagined. You have encountered several resistance issues relating to the culture, psychological learning, organization structure, workforce commitment, and dissemination of knowledge. You decide to gather a decision-making team to assist in identifying the high or moderate resistance risks that may stop or slow down the process of this transition. The decision-making team must also recommend some mitigation intervention to lower the identified resistance risks to either moderate or low. For example, a high resistance risk can become moderate or low and moderate resistance risk can become low.Your final product will be a table that identifies five (5) issues related to the organization’s culture, psychological learning, organization structure, workforce commitment, and dissemination of knowledge. You must also provide a description of each resistance issue and rate the resistance risk before the mitigation intervention as either High (H) or Moderate (M). Then, you must provide a description of your team’s mitigation intervention and determine the resistance risk’s downgrade from High (H) to Moderate (M) or Low (L) and / or Moderate (M) to Low (L) after the mitigation intervention.Create a table in which you:

  1. Determine one (1) challenge in the culture that may cause a major resistance to the transition from individual learning to organizational learning. Next, recommend one (1) mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
  2. Predict one (1) psychological learning threat that may result from the transition and then provide one (1) mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
  3. Assess the current organization structure as it relates to the free flow of knowledge then specify one (1) issue that may cause a major resistance to the transition. Provide one (1) mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
  4. Critique the workforce commitment to this transition and predict one (1) major resistance you may encounter. Next, provide a mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
  5. Propose one (1) dissemination of knowledge issue with the recipients’ ability to absorb the knowledge and comprehend it into action (i.e., motivating the recipient to share knowledge). Next, provide one (1) mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
  6. Use the Resistance Risk Mitigation Intervention Table template located here. You may also use Microsoft Word or other equivalent software to create a table in an equivalent format for this supporting document.
