The system requires 3 (three) entries before a grade can be awarded for this assignment. 2.0 General Guidelines for Cases Read the case three times before starting.
For the highest possible grade, include all applicable terms and concepts you were exposed to in previous sessions. Please note that a percentage will be awarded for
each part (1st response, and the second, the courteous reply to a course-mate) of the discussion exercise. Both parts must be in place on the due dates to be
recognized by the Bb (LMS) recognition system. Before you begin responding, please write your full name and indicate your response as either: #!: ″My Own First and
Original Response″, or ″ [ DUE ON THE May 1, 2017] When replying to a classmate, be certain to write this as: #2: My first REPLY to _______________ (Type in your
classmate′s full NAME) [BOTH #1 & #2 ARE DUE ON April 12 @11:59 PM] #3: My second REPLY to ________________ ( Type in your classmate′s full NAME) That is critically
important. Please place the correct indicator at the very TOP, each and every time you make a response. (The best second response will be accepted for grading.) Be
sure to post to the correct forum always. Thanks. The background to this discussion and the topic to be discussed are to be found, in Chapter 7 in your textbook, and
in the notes, text, and associated videos, etc Read, follow and include in your responses, all the supporting materials and resources, and then return to this forum to
make your solid and convincing contributions regarding the issues. They must be backed up by very convincing (supported by readings, videos, notes and/or links)
arguments. Do pay very close attention, and be certain to include any peer-reviewed (journal articles, in particular) readings. Cite them with your in-text references,
and list them at the bottom of your (two) responses for this graded exercise. You should include all supporting managerial/business theories and concepts that are
applicable to the issues, to show depth and breadth of knowledge with understanding of the related subject matter. Write drafts in MS Word and download and use
Grammarly to ensure quality (in grammar and spelling). Then, cut and paste to this forum. Refer time and again to your ″Tools of the trade″ APA citation videos, etc for
quality as needed. Here′s another important note: Do not use Wikipedia. This will result in a serious penalty. Use your remote ID library link for readings, textbook
and presentation notes to help you structure a worthy and worthwhile response in each case. A simple ″I agree″ or ″I agree with …″ will not cut it. Your response to
someone else in the class, must seek to drive the discussion to a much higher level in each instance. Your agreement or disagreement must be supported by the text in
the case, the relevant supplementary readings and chapter notes. Read the question very, very carefully. You need to make your initial response, and then return to
respond to another course participant, to enable you to capture the full marks for this entire exercise. Doing only the first response gains for you, just about 50%
plus of the total possible marks for this discussion topic. This will affect your grade. But you must create a thread to respond. YOUR ORIGINAL RESPONSE, is to be like
a mini essay, but in the format of a memo from an internal consultant (with APA internal and external referencing—only for the purposes of this course exercise) and
SHOULD BE at least 250 WORDS IN LENGTH.
