Is there a communication problem between the client and the account executive?

00-1,000 words, APA format

 

You manage a small advertising agency that employs two illustrators, two copywriters, and two account executives. Business has been down lately because of the economy, and your employees have been a bit nervous about possible layoffs, citing that because there are two of each of them in these respective roles that it is possible the agency may have to reduce the staff by at least two specialists in the coming months. You have noticed stress in the office, including everything from office fighting, to stealing creative ideas from one another, to higher-than-usual absenteeism.

At a recent campaign review with your premier client, CheapThings.com, you found out that the copy and graphics of several proposed ads needed to be recrafted. You found out that the client is unhappy with the campaign, noting that it is stale and uninteresting and does not represent what the company is doing online: selling all types of cheap things that people can buy at a discount.

On second look, you understand what the client is saying. Interpersonal communication skills are essential in your client and staff relationships. Although you understand that advertising campaigns often need to be tweaked to deliver what the client wants and needs, you believe that the employee problem may be masquerading as a business problem. You start to see that stress in the office is starting to reveal itself in your agency’s creative work. This is a huge problem because the agency cannot afford to lose a client or possible future projects. You decide to research some possible creative process theories for this situation to solve the business problem.

  • State the business problem and why you believe it is the core problem. For example, are people creatively burned out? Is there a communication problem between the client and the account executive?
  • Analyze 3 creative processes that could get the agency back on track with on-point client deliverables.
    • For each, briefly explain what the process is and why it fits the stated business problem.
  • Select what you believe to the best creative process for this situation.
    • Explain how you will implement your chosen creative process.
    • Explain your prediction on how your chosen creative process can help start to solve some of the problems.

Assignment 3: Leadership Personal Issues and the Rules of Law

Due Week 8 and worth 200 points

Law enforcement in America has seen drastic changes over the past one hundred years, from the educational requirements of officers to the interpretation of the bill of rights. Law enforcement officers today are expected to perform their duties at a very high level of professionalism and morality. Unfortunately, when officers don’t perform at this high level it is their commanders who ultimately may be held responsible for their actions. Use your textbook, the Internet, and / or Strayer library to research credible sources on the aforementioned issues as they relate to law enforcement operations and management.

Write a five to seven (5-7) page paper in which you:

  1. Examine the higher (postsecondary education) requirements that police hiring agencies have for potential candidates. Support or critique the requirement that officers possess such an education.
  2. Compare and contrast the fundamental differences between arrest and searches and seizures conducted with and without warrants. Provide a rationale for why these areas are important as they relate to the Bill of Rights and Fourth Amendment guarantees.
  3. Compare and contrast the main ways in which Packard’s crime-control model and the due process model differ in the matter of police ethics. Provide your opinion on which of the two (2) approaches lends itself to the possibility of ethical violations in law enforcement?
  4. Hypothesize two (2) situations where police supervisors may be held criminally liable for their officers’ misconduct.
  5. Use at least four (4) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Illustrate the constraints on the police in democratic societies to include personal issues and practices, the rule of law, general principles of accountability, ethics, and civil liability.
  • Assess management and leadership challenges in police organizations and recommend solutions that foster an ethical work environment.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in law enforcement operations and management.
  • Write clearly and concisely about law enforcement operations and management using proper writing mechanics.

Which parties experience advantages from the globalization of the flat-panel industry?

Globalization

This assignment consists of three parts.

  1. From Chapter 1 in the textbook, read the case on Flat Screen TV’s. Prepare a response to the following questions:
    • Which parties experience advantages from the globalization of the flat-panel industry?
    • Which parties experience disadvantages from the globalization of the flat-panel industry?
    • What would happen, if the U.S. required that all flat-panel displays sold in the U.S. would also have to be manufactured in the U.S.?
    • What does this case tell us about the future of production in an increasingly global economy?
  2. Research another industry that has experienced globalization or may be a good candidate for globalization in the future and share your example with the class and explain why you selected the industry.
  3. Choose two countries (other than the U.S.) within the same region of the world. Assess the political risks, economic risks, and legal risks of each country. If you had to invest a large sum of money into one of these two countries, which one would it be? Why?

Did you find the notion of “invention” as a canon of rhetoric to be interesting or productive?

English Composition 2

we discussed that there is a process to writing, but that there is no one specific, start-to-finish process. Instead, the process is cyclical as we learned throughout the lesson. Additionally, you learned that it is important to understand yourself as a writer and that you have your own process.

Please respond to this prompt by reflecting upon your own writing process. You may choose to use the guiding questions/prompts below as a way to begin your reflection; however, you do not have to address all of the questions. The objective of this reflection is to become better acquainted with the process that you go through when writing.

  • Recalling the last correspondence that you wrote, what was your process? For example, if the last correspondence you wrote was an email, what was your process in writing that email?
  • Do you approach each academic writing assignment in the same way?
  • What are your feelings about writing? Have you always had these feelings?
  • Do you have the same feelings about all writing or just writing for which you will receive a grade?
  • Do you begin by gathering your thoughts or by writing down everything you know?
  • Do you always follow the same process every time you write, or does your process seem to change depending upon what you are writing?
  • How does your process change (if at all) between writing prepared for work versus writing prepared for your academics?
  • What is your best outline of your process for an essay?
  • Did you find any of the materials in Unit II about process particularly helpful or inspirational? Why?
  • Did you find the notion of “invention” as a canon of rhetoric to be interesting or productive? Why?
  • What was your process for writing this reflection?

Remember that this is a piece of reflective writing, and while we tend to consider reflective writing to be about “how far we have come,” it is not necessary for that to be the case. Looking in the mirror at our reflection is not an act about the passage of time or about growth; it is about being able to see ourselves where before we could not. So remember to be kind to yourself. You are a beginning writer, and this is an exercise about discovering who you are as a writer so that we can work together to build who you will be. So try for 750 to 1000 words.

What is your rationale for how the client meets all of the specific DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for the mental disorder you have selected?

Anxiety or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Diagnosis

Case Vignette

Lisa is a 32-year-old Caucasian bank teller. She has been married for five years and has a 3-year-old daughter. Lisa’s job requires her to interact with customers on a daily basis. Her work involves processing routine bank transactions including cashing checks and depositing and exchanging money.

Lisa is constantly fearful of coming into contact with anything that might be contaminated. Concerned about bacteria and viruses from the money she handles, Lisa hurries to the bathroom to wash her hands after each teller transaction. She is convinced the bacteria on her hands will cause an illness, serious or fatal, eventually leading to her inability to take care of her family. Lisa spends up to ten minutes each time in the bathroom. This has caused delays in getting her work done. Despite spending a significant part of her day washing and using hand sanitizer, Lisa constantly doubts her cleanliness. If she accidently touches something she believes is dirty, she immediately washes her hands. This has resulted in bleeding and skin abrasions.

Lisa showers twice daily and systematically washes each body part starting with her head and working down to her feet. This often takes her one hour each time. After showering, Lisa “drip dries” so that her bath towel does not spread germs. To avoid spreading germs at home, she excessively uses Lysol on household objects, sanitizes dishes using several wash cycles, and even uses her elbow to flip light switches. Lisa’s husband often assists with the daily cleaning to reassure her that the house is clean.

 

Based on your reading of the vignette, discuss the possible diagnoses you considered when thinking about the client’s presenting issues.

  1. What diagnosis would you make?
  2. What is your rationale for how the client meets all of the specific DSM-5 diagnostic criteria for the mental disorder you have selected?
  3. What other information would you need if your client does not meet all of the criteria?
  4. What are some examples of current medications being used to treat this diagnosis?
    • What are the benefits the client might receive from taking medication, and what are the potential side effects?
    • What other issues or concerns would you want to address when considering the use of medication with this client?
  5. How is the impact of the larger social system (family, school, work, and community) important to consider when assessing and diagnosing the client?

Discuss whether either of the expert witnesses in this case acted unethically.

Critical Evaluation of Court Case

It is important to understand the impact an expert testimony may have in the ultimate decision made by a court. In addition, it is helpful for practitioners of forensic psychology to be able to read and understand legal cases.

Tasks:

Click here to review the case Commonwealth of Virginia v. Allen (2005). It,s also attached if you cant open.

The case describes an appellate legal opinion or court decision involving expert witness testimony. When a case is appealed, it goes to an appellate or to a higher court. The appellate court then reviews the findings of the lower court, which in this case was the trial court. The appellate court offered the following two opinions:

  • The first opinion (Commonwealth of Virginia v. Allen, 2005, pp. 1–24) is the majority opinion and is the one that counts.
  • The second opinion (Commonwealth of Virginia v. Allen, 2005, pp. 24–31) is an opinion filed by a minority of judges who concurred (agreed) in part and dissented (disagreed) in part with the majority of the judges who ruled.

After reading the appellate legal opinion, write a 2- to 3-page paper addressing the following:

  • Discuss whether either of the expert witnesses in this case acted unethically. Support your opinion with the relevant APA or specialty ethical guidelines.
  • Indicate whether you agree with the majority decision or the minority concurring or dissenting opinion. Explain why.

The paper should be in APA style.

Answer

What would you have done differently if you were the manager?

Nonverbal Communication

In this assignment, you will study how nonverbal communication plays an important role in managerial communications.

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research on nonverbal communication.

In your professional experiences, you may have experienced managers that were not great at communicating with you as employees. For one reason or another, the manager was unable to effectively communicate with his or her employees. A large part of communication is not what the manager says, but his or her nonverbal communication and listening skills.

Discuss a situation in which you had a manager or other leader who was not good at nonverbal communication or was not an active listener.

Based on the situation and your research and readings, answer the following questions in a minimum 1000-word posting:

  • What was the conversation about? Explain the details that led up to the conversation and the main topic of the conversation.
  • Why do you feel the leader or manager was not actively listening? What did the leader or manager do in regard to nonverbal communication to show you that he or she was not actively listening or was not effectively communicating with you?
  • How did you react to the situation?
  • What would you have done differently if you were the manager?
  • Analyze a minimum of three outside sources from the Internet that are reliable and deal with nonverbal communication that a manager could use in order to improve his or her active listening skills and body language in conversations such as you discussed. Based on your analysis, make recommendations on how the manager could have handled the situation.
