For this assignment, imagine you are an expatriate manager for a subsidiary of a major company headquartered in the United States. You are preparing a PowerPoint presentation to brief the CEO on your plan to address the safety issues specific to the country (of your choice) where you are working as the expatriate manager.

In your introduction, discuss four concerns in the workplace: benefits, safety, health, and global security issues. List one issue for each concern listed.

Next, prepare a solution for each of the four concerns. Discuss how your solutions address the issues within the workplace. Discuss what would be the responsibility of the global leadership team.

Conclude your presentation with a summary of how you noted the needs of your global audience, how you will design and deliver the training for employees keeping in mind Geert Hofstede’s research about cultural differences, and your plans to assess its success.

Be sure to include clear and specific speaker notes for each slide. You must include a minimum of one image or graphic within your presentation. You must use at least two sources, with one being the textbook.

Your PowerPoint presentation must be at least seven slides in length, not counting title or reference slides. Adhere to APA style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used.

A job analysis is conducted to identify the specifics of all positions within the organization and, therefore, determines the level of importance of the position to the organization. What are your thoughts on the job analysis being needed in order to develop the job description and performance evaluation? Is it vital? What is the importance of this process, and how can you use it in your current or future career? 

Your journal entry must be at least 200 words in length.

Working individually, students should complete the questions per the list assigned.

Prepare responses to the questions below after viewing one of the following case studies:

• p. 636 #2: Negotiating Pandas at the SD Zoo

Follow the questions as written in the text to frame your response.

The paper should be a minimum of 3 to 4 pages. Title page and reference page with 3-5 references are required. References are encouraged to be authored. In-text citations must match the references. Incorporate responses from the text as we have covered the last weeks together in additional to your other selected sources.

Select one of the following questions and answer it in 75 to 100 words using the principles of critical thinking you learned in this course. How can we reduce poverty in the United States? Will receiving a college degree improve your career opportunities? Has the United States peaked as a world power? Reflect in 75 to 100 words on the process of critical thinking you used in forming your response. Include the following in your reflection: How does the process of critical thinking you used relate to or differ from the process you used to find content for your answer? How can you use critical thinking in other areas? What steps can you take to ensure that you continue to use critical thinking in the future? Submit your assignment to the Assignment Files tab.
