NoJax is finally ready for you to start in-depth evaluations of organizational behavior at the micro level. Start by viewing the NoJax Company Background document and cross referencing the employee profiles with the organizational structure provided. This will give you an idea of what managers are working together. Pay particular attention to the given personality trait scores, education, and experience for each manager. From there, start to form an opinion about how these managers will be working together, both positively and negatively. The section on policy will also provide some context on working conditions and employee interaction. Senior management would like you to write a report providing analysis of your observations.

Address the following in your report:

• Taking into consideration industry, job, and organizational fit, explain which Big Five personality trait you believe is the most important for NoJax management to seek out during an interview process. Support your choice with observations from the case document.
• Taking into consideration industry, job, and organizational fit, explain which Big Five personality trait you believe is the least important for NoJax management to seek out during an interview process. Support your choice with observations from the case document.
• Provide an in-depth analysis of a minimum of four of the management pairs working together utilizing personality scores and employee background information. For example, you might choose Design Manager Alice Bloom and Lifting Shoes Manager Anam Basra. For each pair, identify potential strengths of them working together and two potential weaknesses of them working together. This does require some hypothesizing based on employee personality traits scores and background information. Considering job tasks and job design helps here too.

This week, you will write a comprehensive APA analysis paper using all the knowledge you

have gained in HIS 2100. Use what you have learned from the READ and ATTEND sections

throughout the course (including Unit 5) and at least three scholarly sources to address the

topics mentioned below. Use in text quotes and do not self plagiarize from the previous

weeks. If you need support on how to formulate your APA analysis paper, you may refer to

your APA template under the Resource tab or contact the CPS librarians. Please refer to your

Rubric for guidance. Upon completion you will click on the Dropbox tab to submit

your paper for grading.

In our contemporary digital world, facts and data are everywhere. A study of our past is truly

valuable when we strive to gain, beyond rote facts, a deeper meaning from what has occurred

before our time in order to give understanding to the present. Considering the topics you

addressed in Units 1-4, along with topics from Unit 5 (economic challenges of the 1970s and

80s, the end of the Cold War, plans for democracy in the Middle East, and the “two Americas”),

analyze three topics in light of their value to our time.

Tips for Unit V and Closing Thoughts

Hello All,

We have reached the end of the race. I hope you have enjoyed the material. I have certainly enjoyed reading your insights and getting to know a number of you via texts, phone calls and emails.

As for Unit V Complete, I suggest reading your essay over before posting to ensure that you have “compared and contrasted” past and present with persistent themes in American history.  

Here are some topic tips.

Unit I calls for a discussion of Reconstruction, a period famous for both very hopeful examples of American ideals such as the14th and 15th Amendments as well as examples of America at its worst; the birth of the KKK comes to mind here, for example.  One theme of “compare and contrast” could be between the conditions and challenges faced by freedmen in the late 1860s with the conditions and challenges faced by many Americans of African descent today.

Another “compare and contrast” between Unit I themes and today would be the rise of labor unions.  Just recently, the workers at an Alabama Amazon location voted down the formation of a union.  Why?  How does their view differ with the views of many workers from the 1870s?

In Unit II we delved into the Progressive Era, a time of reforms to address social ills and capitalism’s excesses.  How do modern day progressive movements such as environmentalism or Black Lives Matter differ from earlier incarnations of American progressivism?  

In Unit III, we looked into the America First Committee and their desire for isolationism.  Here, the compare and contrast with contemporary American politics is obvious; the former president explicitly took on some of the same language as the first America First movement.

Unit III also focused on the Cold War. As most of you noted in your essays, that one came to an end in 1991 with the dissolution of the Soviet Union. However, are we facing a new Cold War? Current relations between the United States and China are not good, and relations between the US and Russia are even worse.

Any of the five topics above would be a rich source of material to compare and contrast the American past with the American present.  Further, it is by no means an exhaustive list.  There are at least a dozen other topics we have touched upon that would be relevant.  Remember, however, that you need to focus on three. For the highest scores, make sure to bring in relevant historical context and support general points with specific facts along with your own analysis. 

It has been an honor to be your facilitator for US history, and I wish you all the best in your endeavors.

You know from your many experiences that success generally does not just happen.  Motivation and determination are important factors.  Planning and following the plan are important activities.  Let’s talk about your thoughts on how you can be successful in this math class.  

This document provides more detail on what you need to plan for during this class: Time Management for Successful Learning

Please answer each of the questions in a separate paragraph.

1.       What are your expectations and what are your concerns?

2.        What initial time management plan will you try to implement (realizing that you may tinker with this as the class moves along.).

 3.    Are you an active learner? Explain

As an active learner, you

• Respond to questions and comments from your faculty member.
• Ask for clarification when you do not understand or need more information.
• Participate regularly and fully in class discussion.
• Try to apply your instructor’s suggestions in your later work.

4.  The answers to the following questions can be found in CONTENT >> Getting Started and CONTENT >> Syllabus and Course Home > Calendar.

a.  What is the email for your Instructor?

b.  What date is Problem Set 1 due?

c.  How many points can you earn for your work in the ALEKS objectives?

d.  What is the focus of week 5?

e.  When is the final exam?

For this activity, prepare a reflection paper, and consider the concepts that you have learned during your readings. Think about what you understand completely and what did not quite make sense. The purpose of this assignment is to provide you with the opportunity to reflect on the material you have read and to expand on it. This is not a summary. 

In the Unit I introduction to this course, Theodore Levitt’s remarks about the contrasting needs of the seller and the marketer were shared. Levitt described how satisfying the needs of the customer is now the pathway to marketing success. This concept and others related to the four Ps of product, price, promotion, and place were further explored throughout the units. For this reflection paper, respond to these three prompts: 

• Reflect on how this introductory marketing course has changed your view of how the field of marketing works. 
• What was the most surprising thing you learned? What do you need to learn more about? 
• Do you see the rise of consumer power through evolving changes in technology? If so, how? If not, why not? 

Your reflection paper must be at least four pages in length and formatted according to APA guidelines. If you use any paraphrased or quoted material, you must have accompanying in-text citations and references. Title and reference pages do not count toward the minimum length requirement.
