charisma

Charisma. You might be thinking that this trait is somewhat mystical and not within your grasp. The literature states that charisma, like other character traits, can be developed by being enthusiastic, optimistic, caring about people, and not talking down to them. By observing a leader display self-confidence, followers develop self-confidence as well.

Discuss & Post

Provide answers to the following:

  1. Consider your current and past leaders. Would you consider any of them a charismatic, transactional, or transformational leader? Assess the characteristics he or she exhibited which led you to label them as you did.
  2. Argue which of the three leadership styles (i.e., charismatic, transactional or transformational) you would prefer to work for and why.

Your response should be a minimum of 300 words with two (2) external references. Chapter9Leadership

Forecasting and demand models

Assignment Content

  1. This assignment is intended to help you learn how to apply forecasting and demand models as part of a business operations plan.

    Choose 3 quantitative elements that you would like to research in relation to the organization that you selected for your business plan. These elements may be related to products, services, target market, consumer preferences, competition, personnel, resources, supply chain, financing, advertising, or other areas of interest. However, at least one of these elements should be related to a product or service that your organization is planning to offer.

    Develop forecasts by implementing the following approach:

    1. Collect data, including old demand forecast (subjective data) and the actual demand outcomes.
    2. Establish the forecasting method (from readings). Decide on the balance between subjective and objective data and look for trends and seasonality.
    3. Forecast future demand using a forecasting method.
    4. Make decisions based on step 3.
    5. Measure the forecast error where applicable. Look for biases and improve the process.
    6. Write a 525- to 700-word paper evaluating the findings from the supported data points above, and explain the impact of these findings on operational decision making. Insert charts and supporting data from Excel and other tools in your paper.

      Cite references to support your assignment.

      Format your citations according to APA guidelines.

Organizational Effectiveness

Discussion Question 1

In the position of internal Organizational Development Consultant, also referred to as Organizational Effectiveness Officer, you have conducted a survey of the entire 3,000-employee population at your organization. The common denominator among the millennial generation responses within the workforce is a desire to work from home. Create a strong statement to the effect and make a recommendation to the CEO to add the virtual employment status to the current employment status currently practiced at your firm (i.e., Exempt Full Time; Part Time; Per Diem; Independent Contractor).

This is a learning and application exercise designed to give you an opportunity to apply concepts learned in a pragmatic and meaningful way that will enable you to gain valuable and relevant knowledge in an effort to augment your skill set and enhance your professional careers

multiple regression model

Instructions: 

The Excel file for this assignment contains a database with information about the tax assessment value assigned to medical office buildings in a city. The following is a list of the variables in the database:

  • FloorArea: square feet of floor space
  • Offices: number of offices in the building
  • Entrances: number of customer entrances
  • Age: age of the building (years)
  • AssessedValue: tax assessment value (thousands of dollars)

Use the data to construct a model that predicts the tax assessment value assigned to medical office buildings with specific characteristics.

  • Construct a scatter plot in Excel with FloorArea as the independent variable and AssessmentValue as the dependent variable. Insert the bivariate linear regression equation and r^2 in your graph. Do you observe a linear relationship between the 2 variables?
  • Use Excel’s Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis of FloorArea and AssessmentValue. Is FloorArea a significant predictor of AssessmentValue?
  • Construct a scatter plot in Excel with Age as the independent variable and AssessmentValue as the dependent variable. Insert the bivariate linear regression equation and r^2 in your graph. Do you observe a linear relationship between the 2 variables?
  • Use Excel’s Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis of Age and Assessment Value. Is Age a significant predictor of AssessmentValue?

Construct a multiple regression model.

  • Use Excel’s Analysis ToolPak to conduct a regression analysis with AssessmentValue as the dependent variable and FloorArea, Offices, Entrances, and Age as independent variables. What is the overall fit r^2? What is the adjusted r^2?
  • Which predictors are considered significant if we work with α=0.05? Which predictors can be eliminated?
  • What is the final model if we only use FloorArea and Offices as predictors?
  • Suppose our final model is:
  • AssessedValue = 115.9 + 0.26 x FloorArea + 78.34 x Offices
  • What wouldbe the assessed value of a medical office building with a floor area of 3500 sq. ft., 2 offices, that was built 15 years ago? Is this assessed value consistent with what appears in the database?

Submit your assignment.

Change Management and Management Styles

THIS IS A MANDATED ASSIGNMENT.

Change Management and Management Styles
As economic times change, management styles have changed accordingly. New concepts and issues of management styles have been analyzed, synthesized, and evaluated to meet the changing needs of the marketplace. The concept of change management has gained great acceptance and/or disapproval by all sectors, including civilian and military.
Katzenbach (1995) wrote that “Real change leaders are the linchpins connecting three critical forces for organizational change and performance: top leadership aspirations (what are we trying to become?); workforce energy and productivity (how will we climb the mountain?); and the marketplace reality (what do our target customers truly seek, and what can and will our potential competitors really do?) (pp. 8-9).
Analyze the changes in the healthcare field to determine if there have been periods of time in which leaders in the field, as well as actual practitioners in the field, have had to address the issue of change management. Specifically, this analysis should be based on a synthesis of the current literature (and literature no older than 1995) to demonstrate how leaders in your field of study have addressed the issue of change management – as well as any changes in management style. Finally, the student should relate these specific changes to their own current, previous, and/or future career paths. This analysis should help to reveal how you have seen changes occur over the past decade or so in your field. Finally, what possible changes, suggestions and/or recommendations would you consider to be necessary in your field of study?

Instructions:
Write a well-researched, thorough response to the questions posed above in an APA formatted paper. Include 7 scholarly references in your paper.

Respond in 2100-2450 content words, not including title page, abstract, or references, to each question.

theoretical body of knowledge on the topic and your profession

Chapter 5: Discussion

The purpose of this chapter is not just to reiterate what you found but rather to discuss what your findings mean in relation to the theoretical body of knowledge on the topic and your profession. Typically, students skimp on this chapter even though it may be the most important one because it answers the “So what?” question. In other words, I want you to pretend that I know nothing about your research and topic/problem, and that we’re going to discuss your findings of your research as it relates to your problem/possible solution. Please answer the following questions:

(1). What do your findings suggest about the business field of study? One way to answer this question is to answer the following question: Will your findings change an aspect of business? Why or Why not?

(2). What do your findings suggest about a business career or role? Will your findings change a specific role in business? Why or Why not?

(3). Do your findings introduce any new research that needs to continue, or do you believe your research presents a potential solution to the problem you presented, and no further research is necessary? Why or Why not?
