Of the four areas of study listed above, which would you focus on first?

Organization: State Government Agencies

Area of Interest: Economy and Job 

Why this issue hinders organizational efficiency: pay decreases performances, diversity is decrease. Less people willing to accept pay because of the workload

Organizational behavior is really the combination of four areas of study – psychology, social psychology, sociology, and anthropology. 

While each of these areas involves an examination of people and their interactions, the focuses are quite different:

Psychology – studies the mind and how people make decisions.
Social Psychology – examines how people work in groups.
Sociology – explores how systems work within the organization.
Anthropology – examines how culture works within the organization.

Now, assume that you are an organizational consultant and have been asked by a new CEO to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the organization.

  • Of      the four areas of study listed above, which would you focus on first?
  • Make      sure to explain why you chose this area, and why it would take precedence      over the other areas
Imagine you are part of a forager’s group (hunter-gatherer) and you recently experienced a drought

Imagine you are part of a forager’s group (hunter-gatherer) and you recently experienced a drought of several years that depleted your access to water resources and as a result to vegetation. In addition, animals that you and your group hunted died or left the area in search of water. Your group decided you must leave and join another group to be able to survive. Your foraging group consists of the following people:

• You and your spouse (both of you of childbearing age)
• Two male relatives ages 18-35
• One female married age 19
• One female married age 26
• One female single age 17
• A 6 month old baby
• An 80 year old female relative

You identified a group with resources across the mountains, but they are two weeks away and you only have food to sustain your group for a week. Not all of you will be able to travel to join the neighboring band; some may need to stay behind. Who would you take with you to improve your chances of survival? Who would you leave behind? What are you planning to take with you to secure an exchange with the other group to get the needed resources? Explain why you made those decisions.

Analyze how the new shopping cart software upholds ethical trends in consumer privacy.

Part A: Ch. 6 Role Playing Sim: Cruisin’ Fusion

In this simulation, you will understand how to develop a website for a chain of concession stands you inherited from Uncle Al. You’re not sure what to do with the concession truck, but a couple of your friends think Al was onto something with his unusual taco food truck. They want to partner with you to expand, targeting sports events, outdoor concerts, political rallies, holiday marches, and other events where customers might pay a little more for a very distinctive and healthier meal. With the right marketing, this could be a promising business venture.

Refer to Cruisin’ Fusion, Part A in Week 2.

The Crusin’ Fusion taco trucks are gaining popularity, fueling a demand for an order-ahead option on the website. After careful consideration, the team has decided to add shopping cart software to the Cruisin’ Fusion website to meet this demand. 

Research various shopping cart software to determine the best choice for website.

Write a 1- to 2-page blog post to launch this new feature and to reassure your customers that placing online orders is safe. In addition to introducing the order-ahead option, your blog post should:

  • Analyze how the new shopping cart software upholds ethical trends in consumer privacy.
  • Examine ethical considerations for maintaining confidentiality and consumer data.
  • Describe the various privacy regulations upheld with the shopping cart software.

How should we evaluate the statements made by Jae and Dagmar?

Step 1 Review the dialogue.

Dagmar: We should vote for the bond issue to build a new park.

Jae: No way! That’s going to cost the taxpayers a fortune, and I won’t even use that park.

Dagmar: You might not use it, but it will make our property values higher, and will provide an important resource for the city’s residents.

Jae: I don’t want to pay for a park. It’s a white elephant. I’d rather see the city spend money on something that is going to bring in money and create jobs.

Dagmar: Well, my mom says that there are plenty of jobs associated with a park.

Jae: What does your mom know?

Step 2 In your original post, address the following questions relating to the dialogue.

  • How should we evaluate the statements made by Jae and Dagmar?
  • What makes for good evidence?
  • Does one of these speakers have a stronger case than the other?
  • Are they arguing on the same emotional level, or is one speaker more emotional than the other?
