Due Date: Mar 01, 2015 23:59:59 Max Points: 60

Details:

Find three sources that discuss critical thinking. One source should be from the assigned and/or optional readings, and the other two should be found through your own research. Read the three sources, and consider how they define critical thinking.

In 300-500 words, explain your own personal definition of critical thinking. Keep
the following guidelines in mind:

Select a direct quote from one of your resources to include in your explanation.
A reference page that documents the three sources you found (and any other resources you used) is required. Remember, all outside sources must be cited both in-text and on your reference page.
The articles you found in your research may influence your definition, but your own ideas should be evident. In other words, your process should be: a) Read some definitions and descriptions of critical thinking; b) Comprehend or digest the information; and c) Write your own definition of critical thinking.

(Note: Do not simply reword the definitions you read. Consider a new way to explain what you understand critical thinking to be.)

Mark Jones, a Production Manager, has been transferred from the manufacturing plant in his hometown of Chicago to his company’s overseas manufacturing plant in Osaka, Japan.

You are the company’s I-O psychologist. Using Hofstede’s Five Basic Elements of Culture Distinction, write an e-mail message to the Vice President (VP) of Production discussing at least three cultural differences that Mark will experience in managing front-line plant workers in Japan in contrast to in the United States. Also address how cultural differences may play a role in individual differences Mark will experience.

Your e-mail message should also include at least three recommendations on how managers can take up overseas tasks with minimum transition problems. State the rationale for your recommendations.

Because the VP of Production is a busy individual, restrict your e-mail message to one to two pages. Type the e-mail message in Microsoft Word.

Where appropriate use structured text—bold format, headings, bulleted lists, and graphics—to clarify your meaning and to make your document easier to read. Remember texting language will not be acceptable.

In your journal give your response to Citizen Kane. Is it as good as it is cracked up
to be? Does “Rosebud” give us any answers? How effective is the structure? Why
has this film been so influential? What part of Carringer’s book did you find most
interesting and why? What did you learn about film-making from studying this
film? Can you compare Kane to any other film you have seen before? How? Please
do not answer these questions one at a time in your journal. They simply give you
some of the topics you should address. But I do want you to discuss what you think

Design four templates to use in management of your department and write a memo to your team.

BUSINESS SITUATION

You are a customer service manager in Safe Core Co., a large multi-national fire sprinkler company. As a good leader, you are in the process of developing a departmental business plan for your team. In order to have a successful year, you have decided to introduce four new templates to help keep your team on track.

Skills Assessment/ Training Needs – You need to know what skills your team members have now and what training they require for the future.

Project Status – You need a uniform way to keep all projects on target and to ensure that responsible people are held accountable.

Expense Reports – You need to keep the department within budget guidelines.

Job Performance Reviews – You need to establish a system to give effective performance feedback to individual employees.

To optimize your efficiency and effectiveness, you decide to research professionally proven templates on the internet and implement them in your department immediately. (In the past, you have found that microsoftoffice.com is one of many good resources.) After finding appropriate templates, you plan to write a memo to your team introducing the new forms.

ASSIGNMENT

Document your plan.
• Find and print a template from the Web for each of the four categories above. (Each template should be only ONE page and must include the URL link.)
• Write a short memo to your team explaining the purpose, timeline for implementation, schedule, and personal accountability for each form.
• Submit both your memo and copies of the four templates as your assignment.
