Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Steven Sample described two rules of decision making for contrarian leaders: “(1) Never make a decision yourself that can reasonably be delegated to a lieutenant; (2) Never make a decision today that can reasonably be put off to tomorrow” (Sample, 2003). 

• Discuss your agreement or disagreement with these rules. 
  • Identify  pros and cons of these rules of decision making. 
  • Discuss  if these rules would be effective if applied in your current work environment. 
  • Discuss a  work, life, or academic decision-making situation when you followed these  rules and the results were positive and a situation when you followed these rules and the results did not yield positive results. 

In addition to addressing all requirements of the assignments, model answer includes the following:

• Recognize that using the contrarian leaders’ decision-making rules depends on several conditions:
• First, to delegate to a lieutenant, one must have someone he or she trusts, is knowledgeable to make the same decision as the leader and understands the complexity of the situation to make the      right decision (these complexities are often not pushed down to the next level). 
• To hold off on decisions will depend on the culture and structure of the organization. If the organization is one that requires quick decisions, and a lot of other factors depend on that decision, then  following rule 2 would not be effective in that culture. 
• Additionally responses will be based on the personal  experiences i.e. answers will vary.

While 360-degree appraisals have many advantages, they are not for every employer or every type of employee.

Read Sections 8.2c Who Should Appraise an Employee’s Performance? and 8.2d Putting It All Together: 360-Degree Evaluations in your textbook.

• 8.2c Who Should Appraise an Employee’s Performance?
• 8.2d Putting It All Together: 360-Degree Evaluations

For your initial post, imagine you are an HR manager for a company that has a large call center. The call center manager wants your help initiating a 360-degree appraisal for his call center representatives. In your initial post, discuss whether you would encourage or discourage this and why. Describe what conditions would need to be in place in order for a 360-degree appraisal process to be effective with the call center staff.

Include at least one citation and reference in your initial post.

Leadership methods, organizational role systems, and employee attitudes have a significant impact on organizational culture. Employee motivation and team performance are directly related to organizational success, making it essential for organizational leaders to balance employee satisfaction and profitable production. However, organizations may sometimes need to change existing role systems in order to meet organizational goals. This change may create stress on employee relationships and team dynamics and erode employee motivation and performance.

In this Discussion, you will compare content and process theories of motivation and examine their impact on work behavior and performance. You will also identify motivational factors that are important to consider when implementing organizational change.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Read Chapter 5 in the course text, Organizational Behavior and Chapters 4 and 5 of The Sage Handbook (Vol. 2). Focus on the similarities and differences between content and process theories of motivation.
• Read Chapters 6 and 15 in the course text, Organizational Behavior, and the articles in this week’s Learning Resources. Reflect on the steps of the organizational change models and causes of resistance to change. Then think about which motivational factors may be important to consider when addressing resistance to change.
• Select one content theory and one process theory to compare for this discussion. Consider how each explains work behavior and performance.
• Identify three motivational factors that would be important to consider when implementing organizational change.

By Day 3

Post a response to the following:

Compare one content theory of motivation and one process theory of motivation. Then explain how each theory explains work behavior and performance. Finally, list three motivational factors that are important to consider when implementing organizational change and explain why. Be specific.

Discussion 1

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please read the article How Boeing Tracks Costs, A to Z (Links to an external site.) and in an initial post of at least 200 words explain the change in Boeing’s costing approach from one based on job-costing to a process-costing approach. In your post,

• Demonstrate the major distinctions between the job-costing and the process-costing systems.
• Explain what Boeing means by process accounting.
• Discuss the advantages of the process accounting approach at Boeing.
• Assess how the new process accounting approach affect each business unit’s incentives and tools to control cost

Discussion 2

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please download and read the report Implementing Activity-Based Costing (Links to an external site.) published by the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA). IMA argues that although activity-based costing (ABC) is not a panacea, it is essential for a company to implement a management accounting system such as ABC for all its stakeholders—its employees, its community, its loyal customers, and its shareholders—to understand its cost structure.

After reading IMA’s report, in an initial post of at least 200 words, discuss what activity-based costing is and examine how it impacts the role of management accountants in the broader context of performance management that integrates time, quality, service levels, risk, capacity planning, and costs.

Targets:

Assess the roles of various health care stakeholders to ensure that health care programs meet the needs of the recipients and comply with regulatory and payor requirements.

Analyze the benefits of integration within the health care system

All assignments must target the content application while using two variables: the job choice and the case assigned by the faulty

Your Supervising Manager called a meeting early Monday morning to discuss the tasks you will need to accomplish in this week. They were very complimentary about the efficiency of your performance and the quality of the submitted Memo. However, further investigation is necessary to make sure all areas of the managerial situation were covered accordingly.

You are asked to conduct research and to compile the information about the HC-specific stakeholders related to this situation using the table provided (see below).  Make sure to choose the stakeholders that will be involved in your area of expertise (as per your job description).

For example,

-the Clinical coordinator may choose the CDC (Center for the Disease Control) as a stakeholder due to the mandatory reporting and follow up on the guidelines. 

-CDC affiliated stakeholder would be a local health department that reacts to the situation based on CDC provided preparatory guidance. At the same time, the local health department would be a direct stakeholder for the Clinical Coordinator because its representatives will be directly involved in guiding potential public health issues at the site.

**All information should be presented in a table format. You can use bullet points, subcategories, and other white space organizational components.

The briefing statement from week 2 and the stakeholder analysis from week 4 are the base for your week 5 group assignment- the linkage map.

Make sure to provide a minimum of four credible sources from the UMGC library, the stakeholder home website, and the information pertaining to two discussed stakeholders (one chosen direct and one affiliated to the direct stakeholder). APA format is required for the citation and references. Post the table in the Group Forum and submit in the dropbox for grading.
