5. Suggest ways in which the performance could be improved.
With the above research and evaluation you should be able to recommend a better way forward.

This is an individual assignment and must be presented in a report format (2,000 words). It is important that your report is properly structured.

Also, as this is an academic paper, you should draw on contemporary literature to support your paper. Remember that this individual report

accounts for 50% of your module assessment. Hence, bad performance will have a big impact on this module. An executive summary is not necessary

in a report of this size.

Your report should include references to appropriate process technology and e-business literature (textbooks, journals and websites). Care should

be taken when consulting websites as they are not all equally authoritative (for example Wikipedia is not peer-reviewed; therefore is not

considered an academic reference website). A minimum of 5 different academic references must be cited, but a well-researched report is likely to

cite many more.

You are advised to keep a backup copy of the report until you receive your grade and regularly back-up your work in the cloud (OneDrive, iCloud,

Dropbox and GoogleDrive are good examples). A disk crash is not an acceptable reason for late submission.

Stress Management: Coping with Stress in a Changing World by Richard Blonna

Psychology 60: Stress Management
Discussion 8
Reduce – Create a plan to reduce your stress. Chapter #8 from textbook.
The required textbook is Coping with Stress in a Changing World by Richard Blonna, 4th Edition only. Orange cover. McGraw Hill. ISBN 978-0-07-

302660-2.
2 pages

1) Discuss a very specific* and detailed plan using two ideas from the chapter to reduce your stress, or someone else’s stress.
2) As part of your discussion, discuss how your “Stress Reduction Plan” connects to the chapter material by using one quote from the chapter

(with page number) to make your point.
3) Discuss one potential barrier (something that could prevent you from enacting your plan), and how you could realistically overcome this

barrier.

*Specific/detailed means:
When – how often, what day(s), what time of day your stress reduction plan will work into your schedule/daily/weekly life.
How – how exactly and realistically you will use the skills from the chapter to make a positive change to help you cope with stress.
What – what will you do to ensure that you stick to your stress reduction plan. This needs to be realistic so that you accomplish your plan given

all the barriers that life and schedules inherently have.

Provide unique information, including the quote from the chapter.

Chapter #8 will cover many practical areas such as: managing your time and finances, procrastination, communication, assertion, learning to say

“no”, and sleep.
The Reduce discussion is not a mini discussion – please remember to be detailed and specific in your post.
You also want to make plans which are not “defensive”, but are “proactive”.
Defensive means that you feel stressed and then try to cope in that moment (which might be too late).
A proactive approach is an approach that keeps your body in a calmer state more often, so that when a stressor occurs you are already in a strong

place to cope.
Example of defensive and non-specific approach to coping: “When I feel stressed out from work I will go exercise.” With this defensive approach

you are already very stressed and have to calm down from a highly stressful place. And, what type of exercise? When after work? Is this

realistic? Will you be too tired? Plan this ahead of time, otherwise it will be difficult to see results or follow through on your plans and

goals.
Example of a more proactive and routine approach to coping: “I will run or walk at the gym for 30 minutes, every M, W, F from 9:00-9:30, then I

will work-out with weights for 20 minutes from 9:30-9:50.” With a similar approach the body is producing stress-reduction chemicals, you will

feel a greater overall sense of mental well-being, and thus you will be better prepared to cope when a stressful situation arises.

Old-school media

Pick one of your grandparents or great-grandparents. The only requirement is that the person you choose must have been born between the years 1915 and 1948—kind of a sweet spot for the development of “new technologies” such as film, radio and television. Then, for the year of your grandparent’s birth, look through some old magazines and newspapers and find information about current developments in the media. The ideal would be for you to find longer “trend” articles rather than news briefs of a couple paragraphs. The longer pieces would give you more to work with as you write your paper.

I do not want you merely “Googling” these media developments, and I do not want you citing secondary sources. Instead, I want you to actually go to the library and look through old hard-copy publications and (if you need to, although they’re a bit cumbersome to use) microfiche files. I’d

also give you permission to look up no more than half of your articles using the JSTOR and Academic Search Premier databases. But I want you to actually dig into some old publications so that you get a little historical context for your research on the media.

The New York Times Index and the Reader’s Guide to Periodical Literature will be very helpful as you attempt to identify relevant articles.

Another good option would be to simply thumb through some old general-interest magazines such as Time, Newsweek and the Saturday Evening Post.

You should locate and make an electronic copy of a total of six articles about media developments during the year that you have selected. I’d suggest using a scanner to make a PDF copy of printed articles. You might also be able to use a smartphone to make a copy of an article, but you’d have to be careful about quality and also convert the image to PDF. If you’re working with microfiche, you should be able to save an article as a PDF. I’d definitely prefer scanned images over smartphone photos.

This, then, is what your paper should consist of:

First paragraph: A brief biographical sketch of your grandparent. This should include the individual’s birthdate as well as information about his or her family, vocation, military service, hobbies—whatever seems pertinent to a brief sketch.

The rest of the paper: Describe the “media landscape” of the world into which your grandparent was born, and compare that landscape to the one that surrounds you as a college student. In your paper, provide a snapshot of the times by reviewing and discussing at least four of the historical articles that you located. If your grandparent is still alive, it would be interesting for you to report on a conversation that you had about his or her experiences with media “back in the day.” If such a conversation is not possible, that’s fine—but it would still be interesting to read your conjectures on the topic. Ultimately, I’m looking for about 700 words of clear, concise prose that yields historical insight into the media developments that were taking place in the year of your grandparent’s birth.

International retail strategy for a given fashion business (Dent Watches )

The chosen company for you is Dent Watches
You should assume the role of a fashion retail consultancy (a generic term is being used) and develop certain areas of an international retail strategy for a given fashion business. You have been chosen to do your report on Dent Watches a British Manufacturer for this assignment; this

manufacturer has assigned you with the task of assessing the various foreign external environments in their hope to find a way to expand their business internationally. You need to choose two foreign countries (expansion outside the UK) to analyse. Any two countries may be chosen outside of the UK.
The external environment analysis must include evidence of at least the following: (some of the models can be done on the watch industry as a whole)
– Porter’s Diamond
– Porter’s 5 forces
– The Competence Model
– Industry structure and nature
– Key factors to success in the industry
– Gap Analysis model
– GE matrix
– Red vs Blue Ocean strategies

Talk about where competition models in more detail. In order words, each student must understand the company and as much as possible from the internal and external backgrounds. Given that the given British Manufacturers are real organisations currently open for business, you are required to become familiar with their assigned company (Dent) in terms of the basics, e.g. the 7Ps, customer segments, branding, positioning,

size of company, output, market share, number of employees, mission, vision, current business plans, competitor segment, trends in the specific sector, supply chain.
Upon completing the micro external environment analysis in the two chosen countries (which should be completed as soon as possible), you are expected to compare and contrast their two chosen countries by means of the theoretical models applied, then evaluate the information in a final board meeting. In the report this information should be highlighted by means of summary tables, graphs, charts. The country which shows the greatest potential for immediate international expansion should then be identified and used for the 7P strategy needed by the client company. The second part of the assessment is represented by each team’s 7P strategy proposal for the chosen lucrative market.
This is a practical report where students demonstrate their awareness of foreign environment factors and ability to create solutions in a real business environment. Individuals must demonstrate in-depth/advanced grasp of the theoretical frameworks supporting their business solutions.
Students must also propose ways to evaluate the strategy. Referencing must be carried out using the Harvard System.
The report should be no longer than 3000 words; weighing: 30%; week due: 26.

You should treat this assessment as if you are working on a live case. All the companies are real, they are all open for business and wishing to make more money. This report offers benefits beyond the module, in that the 7P proposals can be used in each student’s jobs search exercise.

Essay on Sylvia Plath

WORKING SUBJECT: (from the professor) –> You could write a very effective essay by focusing on the development of “confessional poetry” and

placing Plath within that context.

ATTACHED WILL BE MY ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY. THIS SHOULD GIVE YOU ALOT TO WORK WITH. THANKS!!!

here is more from the professor:

Task:

An essay in which you explain or examine a context of your writer’s work; that is, a historical or literary event or movement that helps to

illuminate some aspect of his or her literary achievement, or a significant feature of your writer’s work, and (as appropriate) how it improves

our understanding of the traditions of regional writing in America.
Your topic must have been approved by me–either when you originally submitted it or subsequently, if you sought a change.1200-1500 words

(roughly 5-7 double-spaced pages)

Criteria for Evaluation:

Timeliness and length
Appropriateness of topic and/or question
Clear thesis or organizing idea
Appropriate organization and supporting evidence
Evidence of research, including number and quality of resources
Accurate documentation (MLA format in citations)
Grammar and style

A well-organized set of points or examples or descriptions of your subject. The journalists’ tools–who, when, why, where, what–can be helpful

here. Whether you are writing a literary analysis or a report on backgrounds, you will want to include specific evidence to support your overall

thesis.
Identify the event or movement and indicate why it is important to your writer and (possibly) what aspects of the event you are going to explain

(such as its history or its most important characteristics).
The exact development of your essay will depend on your topic and on your thesis; what you want to be sure to do is keep your reader informed

about how each new idea or point is connected.
A thoughtful conclusion, explaining how your discussion or findings illuminate the topic you have been researching, and, if possible, how that

topic relates to the work or career of your author. What does your essay contribute to our understanding of this regional writer or to regional

writing in general?
Suggest just how these historical (political, social, literary) contexts are relevant to your writer and to his region or regional writing. How

does this event help us to understand the achievement or interests or difficulties of your writer?
How does your analysis improve our understanding of your writer and her texts?
Documentation of the research that supports your analysis or discussion. You should include a list of “Works Cited” (MLA) or “References” (APA)

that includes at least three secondary resources that you used in developing your report. This list should only include sources that you

specifically cite in your report.
N. B. Secondary works are articles, books, and critical essays about the writer (including biographies), not works by the writer (such as her

novels or poems or plays).
Literary analyses may or may not depend on secondary sources. If you wish, you may simply develop an analysis based on your own reading of the

text and primary sources. But note that any sources you do consult must be appropriately documented.
