Discuss how the new technologies address the current issues

The strategic sourcing plan is a plan for how you will do business going forward. The sourcing plan can address how to supply resources to staff, your current and future systems, and how you will purchase raw materials or new IT systems.

Develop a high-level IT sourcing plan to guide Phoenix Fine Electronics to adopt enterprise solutions, rather than continuing to operate multiple stand-alone systems. As a guideline, your sourcing plan should be a 3- to 4-page outline or summary.

Your sourcing plan should do the following:

  • List the current technologies being utilized
  • Describe major issues with that technology
  • Recommend new technologies to implement as replacements for current technologies
  • Discuss how the new technologies address the current issues
  • List additional advantages or value added from the new technologies
  • Estimate the approximate time frame to implement the technology
  • Describe any dependencies that the company does not currently have in order to implement

Submit your assignment.

Analyze the use of the sexual or romantic theme in the service of sales.

Surf the Internet to find an example of a product, service or event that is not primarily sexual in nature but employs sexual or romantic themes to sell/advertise the product/service.

For example, an ad for Match.com or Trojans pretty much implies that romance and/or sex is a result of using the product. Eating chocolate or using soap feels good but doesn’t realistically imply that sex and romance will follow its use.

Analyze the use of the sexual or romantic theme in the service of sales.

You may use a print media advertisement but you will have to make it downloadable with a scanner or electronic photograph.

Attach the link or image to a 1 to 2-page double-spaced paper

Use APA or MLA style references to your textbook or other sites if applicable

PLEASE NOTE:

The #1 reason students FAIL this assignment is that they give me a generic paper on “how sex is used to sell” things not related to sex and they DON’T focus on a specific ad or ad campaign. PLEASE read the directions carefully. You need to focus on ONE ad or ONE campaign related to a product or product line. DO NOT simply give me a recycled (from another course) or thoughtlessly done generic commentary. If you do that, you will receive no credit for this assignment.

What were the consequences of that behavior? Were there any unintended consequences?

Consider the world within and the world outside of you. The world within is characterized by your thoughts, assumptions, and attitudes; the outside world can present you with behaviors of others that are different from your own. Your behavior can be influenced by both your internal mental processes and your observations of others in the world.

We will explore your experiences with social and cognitive learning theory. To complete this discussion, use Chapter 6 and Chapter 8 of your textbook reading, as well as your life experience. Your response to each bullet below should be about 2 to 3 sentences in length.

For your initial post, answer the following questions:

What is an example of behavior modeling that you have experienced in your personal or professional life? Describe the behavior that was modeled and imitated. You can provide an example where your behavior was influenced or you influenced the behavior of someone else.

What were the consequences of that behavior? Were there any unintended consequences?

To what extent should anyone be mindful of or responsible for the influence of their behavior on others? Use an example to explain your response.

What was the relationship between the subject modeling the behavior and the subject imitating it? Why is that significant?

Select one of the following questions to answer that relates to the example you provide:

How do mental processes manifest in the behavior you identified in your example? How do cognitive and social cognitive theory relate to your example?

Did it provide order or clarity about yourself, others, or the world? How do cognition or personal constructs relate to your example?

Did it model an emotional response? How does cognitive theory relate to your example?

Explain the synergy between thoughts and behaviors in your example.

Finally, describe how studying behaviorism connects to one of the following programmatic themes:

Self-care

Social justice

Emotional intelligence

Career connections

Ethics

Remember to respond to two peers while being respectful of and sensitive to their viewpoints. Consider advancing the discussion in the following ways:

Post an article, video, or additional research to reinforce a peer’s idea or challenge them to see their point from a different perspective.

Consider asking a content-relevant question or discussing your personal experience.

How will your own worldview inform your leadership approach in a way that enhances your sphere of influence in a diverse world?

Instructor’s Opening Post

The overarching course question is “how do the leader’s personal and social worlds interact?” We begin

our inquiry by exploring our personal worldview and how our worldview shapes our view of the world,

and how we act in it as a leader. Walsh and Middleton (1984) argue:

A world view is never merely a vision of life. It is always a vision for life as well. Indeed, a vision

of life, or world view, that does not actually lead a person or people in a particular way of life is

no world view at all. Our world view determines our values. It helps us interpret the world

around us. It sorts out what is important from what is not, what is of highest value from what is

least…

Why is being aware of one’s worldview as a leader important? One reason, is, as Roy Disney, observed

“It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.”

What is a worldview? Sire (2009) argues,

A worldview is a commitment, a fundamental orientation of the heart, that can be expressed as

a story or in a set of presuppositions (assumptions which may be true, partially true or entirely

false) that we hold (consciously or subconsciously, consistently or inconsistently) about the basic

constitution of reality, and that provides the foundation on which we live and move and have

our being. (p. 20)

How can leaders become more aware of their worldview and its influence on their leadership approach?

Valk et al. (2011) in their “Worldviews and Leadership” article write:

Worldview construction is complex. Nonetheless, the nature of leadership reveals that great

leaders take action in the world from a clear place: they are anchored in a particular view of the

world. Humans are meaning makers, and when leaders assist others in making sense of the

world through a clearly articulated and coherent worldview, solid action can follow. Thus, while

we need to be cognizant of the diversity of worldviews and the diversity of uses of the concept,

we also need to recognize that particular visions of life and ways of life can be powerful and

compelling. The challenge to leadership is to find ways to more explicitly map out these

worldviews, discerning those that tend to impede and restrict from those that seek to enhance

and expand the world we truly need or want.” (p. 61)

Drawing on your reading of Valk et al. (2011) and Sire (2009) answer the following questions:

1. In terms of Sire’s definition of worldview, what does it mean for you to “live and move and have

your being” as it relates to your worldview?

2. How will your own worldview inform your leadership approach in a way that enhances your

sphere of influence in a diverse world?
