workplace Motivation
In the background materials you read about some very traditional theories of motivation such as Theory X and Theory Y, and the hierarchy of needs. But one trend that has received a lot of attention in the media is that of weird or offbeat methods to motivate employees. The recent movie The Internship is set in the odd (or googly) workplace culture of Google. Zappos Shoes even mentions weirdness in the list of corporate values.
CashLinq , a financial services firm, is famous for their Nerf gun battles in the office. Eric Ryan, found of the highly successful soap company Method, was known to go to extremes to motivate employees such as dressing up as a chipmunk or holding impromptu office dance parties. Other examples of unorthodox motivation techniques may include unusual perks such as health insurance for your pets, or allowing employees to ride scooters in the office.
But is this just a passing fad for trendy new companies, or there actually a method to their madness? For this assignment, you will be doing some research on these offbeat new motivation techniques and investigating whether or not these techniques actually fit in with standard textbook theories of motivation. Review the background materials, and then read the following articles and also see if you can find any other examples of bizarre or unusual workplace motivation techniques:
Alsop, R. J. (2010). The last word. Workforce Management, 89(10), 50. Proquest
Petrecca, L. (Dec. 30, 2011). Quirky perks for workers: Pet insurance, massages. USA Today Proquest
Quirky offices may inspire employees. (Dec. 17, 2010, Dec 27). McClatchy – Tribune Business News Proquest
Habib, M. (Oct. 7, 2011). Foosball? bah. employers dangle offbeat incentives. The Globe and Mail Proquest
Case Assignment
When you are done with your research, write a four to five page paper addressing the following issues:
1.Are these unusual motivation techniques more closely matched to McGregors Theory X, or his Theory Y? Cite at least one of the textbook chapters from the required background readings to support your answer.
2.Which of Maslows needs do you think these techniques address or do not address physiological, safety, belonging, esteem, and self-actualization? Cite at least one of the textbook chapters from the required background readings to support your answer.
3.Overall, what do you think the main advantages and disadvantages are of these new and unusual motivation techniques as compared to more traditional techniques?
Assignment Expectations
Answer the assignment questions directly
Stay focused on the precise assignment questions, don’t go off on tangents or devote a lot of space to summarizing general background materials
Make sure to use reliable and credible sources as your references. Articles published in established newspapers or business journals/magazines are preferred. If you find articles on the internet, make sure it is from a credible source.
Reference your sources of information with both a bibliography and in-text citations.

Project description
From San Jose California.

Choose a real residential community of more than one person.
Describe its macro-economy.
Consider the community as though it were a country.
If people don’t want to disclose information, either estimate it or ask others.

Answer these questions:

What kind of governance does your community have?
E.g. homeowner’s association, SCU and dorm administration, city government.
If the community is a household, how are financial decisions made?

Calculate the GDP and its parts:
List and describe the categories and totals of income from all sources, including wages, loans, scholarships, and gifts.
You don’t need to list the individual persons’ incomes.
List and describe the categories (consumption, investment) and totals of spending of the income, including tuition and housing, and savings.
List the purchase and sale of foreign assets such as a bank account.
List these in tables, and then provide relevant explanations.

Have there been any investments?
——————————————-

Example of two student roommates:

Income, annual
wages: $3000
foreign interest income: $200
scholarship: $30,000
parents gift: $5000
Total income: $38,200
Subtract transfer payments: $35,200
GDP income: $3000

Spending
Tuition for education: $24,000 (counted as consumption in GDP)
Food and room: $10,000
Books and supplies: $2000
parties and entertainment: $800
transportation: $400
Total consumption: $37,200
Imports: -$37,200
Labor exports: $3000
Purchase of a foreign asset: $1000 to savings acct.
GDP spending: $3000

GDP income = GDP spending

Financial account
Net exports = exports – imports = $3000 – $37,200 = $34,200
Capital inflow = $1000 – $35,200 = -$34,200

What is the demand for money (average cash holding, including bank accts)?
What is the velocity of the money, per year? (use MV=PT setting P=1).
Average money held = $1000, in bank account + wallet

Velocity = T/M = 37,200 / 1000 = 37.2
excluding tuition
V = T/M = 13200/ 1000 = 13.2
—————————————-

Describe the labor of the community.
Is there any unemployment? If so, what kind, and why?

Describe the taxes paid or received: income, sales, property

Important question:
Is your case study consistent with macroeconomic theory?

If not, how is it different?

What are the main things you learned in this project?

FIRST OF ALL I WANT YOU SEE MY ORDER WITH YOU (#1388891) I WANT YOU TO DO IT ON THE SAME WAY BUT FOR A DEFERENT TOPIC ( MARKETING STRATEGY)

article summary reports (about 2 pages, 1.5 spaced, typed with font sizes of 12). The articles cannot be older than two (2) months, the article title and its source should be properly cited and a copy of the article should be attached. If you are providing a link to your article, you must make sure the link works and the article is publicly accessible through this link.
(1) Article summary, (2) Relevance to the course, and (3) What I learned. In order to get a good grade, the write-up must include these required sections and must also meet the below criteria. The assignments must be spell checked, free of grammatical errors, and there should NOT have long paragraphs. The grade for the article analysis assignment will be based on:

The quality and relevance of the article to the course material and marketing: 20 pts
The quality of your summary covering the key points of the article: 25 pts
Your own comments as how it relates to the course material: 25 pts.
What you learned from the article: 15 pts.
Writing quality, following the required format, and a copy of the article: 15 pts.

I am international students!

the essay should focus on the Relevance to the course” and “What I learned more than the article summary. Pleas till the aothur to write on the these two parts more because he did not write much on it. He must shows how it is relevant to the course ( as it is shown in the guidelines that I provided to the writer.) Here is the comment of the professor:

While there are three sections you need to address for your article assignment (Article summary, Relevance to the course, and What I learned), the most important part is your discussion of “Relevance to the course” and “What I learned.” Make sure the significant part of your assignment are these sections, not the article summary. You should actually use/apply the specific marketing concepts in your article discussion, do no by simply listing the relevant concepts or include definitions. The document on link below gives you two examples.

Please note that, these examples are just to demonstrate how specific marketing concepts were applied/used discussing an article, not for the entire Article Analysis Assignment you need to do. You need to follow the specific guidelines provided you in the course syllabus). You may find it useful to highlight or underline the specific concepts you use in your assignment as well.

I HAVE UPLOADED ALL THE SLIDES THAT YOU NEED TO USE.

Professor did not accept the article assignment that you wrote. He said that you should choose an article from a news paper ( like New Your times ). Also, you did not cover all what it is written in the article. You have to choose a new article that is about something general and easy. So, you can summaries all of its points in the article summary part.

Project description
Assessment: Coursework (100% weighting)
Report Format

Using a case organisation, or a department, or key operational process within a case organisation of your choice and through relevant in-depth reading and research:

Part 1
Define, classify and characterise the dominant operational transformation process and devise and prioritise operational objectives for the case organisation.

Ensure your discussion includes comments on the nature of the product/service provided and the relationship and differences between the manufacturing and service processes that might exist.

Part 2
Using appropriate operations strategy models classify and analyse the existing operational strategy for a case organisation and evaluate whether the strategy is suitable to meet the current operational objectives.

From the analysis and evaluation, determine the gaps in performance and make recommendations as to what improvements might be made.
Justify your recommendations using suitable academic sources and suggest suitable performance management systems/performance metrics that you could use to evaluate the success of the strategy.

This coursework assignment addresses assessment of learning objectives 1, 2 and 3.
Learning Outcomes for Module
On completion of this module, students are expected to be able
to:
1. Critically evaluate the concepts, systems and strategies
relevant to operations management.
2. Synthesise and apply these concepts systems and strategies
in operational environments.
3. Autonomously analyse and solve problems associated with
the design, planning and control of the production of goods
and services.

Assessment Guidelines
Coursework allows students to study, review, analyse and present solutions to extended problems or cases. It also allows students to develop their skills in the preparation of high quality reports.
Coursework assignments are designed to assess students understanding and ability to apply the range of concepts, theories and models examined in the taught modules. Assignments are often open-ended and will always require a high level of independent research that stretches beyond the taught module material.

The following notes are provided by way of additional information:

The report should:
Demonstrate the contribution of your topic to achieving competitive advantage for organisations through the achievement of the operational objectives;
Demonstrate understanding of current thinking in the topic concerned, by the application of research from books, journals or other current sources;
Be conducted within the context of a case organisation which may be your own organisation if appropriate or one with which you are familiar or be sourced from suitable written case study material.

Please check message board and revise the paper. Thank you.

Now that you have written about the topic that you selected in Unit 1, it is time to explore what others have said about that same topic. To begin the process, use the AIU library databases and online search tools to locate at least 6 sources that are related to your topic.The best way to begin this search is by first reading encyclopedia articles on the topic, especially the encyclopedias in the AIU library. Encyclopedia articles provide a summary of current information and, most important, a list of books and articles about the topic. You can often find titles of useful works at the end of encyclopedia articles.Remember, encyclopedias and other reference books (online or print) can be consulted, but their information cannot be cited in your paper. This means that material from reference works cannot be quoted or summarized in your paper. Reference works help you begin your exploration of a topic; however, reference works do not contain original material and therefore cannot be cited in your paper.After consulting reference works, locate at least 6 credible sources related to your topic. These published works will inform you of arguments that are related to your topic. They can also provide evidence (facts, statistics, quotations, and examples) to support your own thesis and main points in the research paper that you will write later in the course.There are two types of citations in APA style: in-text citations and reference citations. An in-text citation is an abbreviation. A reference citation lists all relevant information about a source. The following is a paragraph from a research paper on preventing juvenile delinquency that illustrates the difference between in-text and reference citations:The author and date in parentheses (Friedman, 2014) is an in-text citation. It appears in the sentence where the source was used and is an abbreviated form of the reference citation. All of the information in the paragraph was the student writer’s except what was in the sentence that included an in-text citation.After the paragraph, you can see the full reference citation of the source. The reference citation provides all of the information that someone would need to find this source.Complete the following for your assignment:Each of the six entries should look like this:
