Develop a personal response in which you demonstrate how you would deal with these universal themes in one of the scenarios below. This assignment requires you to get creative. Follow the instructions in your prompt of choice. You only have to pick one prompt.

You are welcome to use first person (I and we) and to present this in any form you choose — multimedia presentation (i.e. power point; video), poem, short story, letter to the editor, journal entry, blog post, newspaper article, advertisement, or even a series of Facebook status or Twitter updates — as long as your writing meets the minimum word count of 250-300 words.

PROMPT #1: Leaders must be able to show loyalty to their cause, their country and to their people. Loyalty is clearly shown as one of Beowulf’s character traits. You are the leader of your own organization or company, and you want to show your volunteers and staff members that you are a loyal leader. What are some steps you would take to portray this loyalty? For example, how would you handle complaints from both clients and employees should problems arise? What systems would you put in place to ensure quality control and show that you are true to your word as a leader? Be sure to tell your reader about the company and present a specific scenario that you are dealing with. If presenting this in multimedia form, you could go as far as showcasing your brand that should also exemplify loyalty to clients and those in your company.

PROMPT #2: You are trying to open up a restaurant / coffee shop that will become a social gathering place for your friends and peers. You want this place to be really cool — but also a place where people can relax and get comfortable. What kind of establishment will you open? How will you get people in the doors? What will they do once they get there? How will you keep them there for long periods of time and keep them coming back? Write a description or story of your ideal social meeting place.

PROMPT #3: Imagine that you are a Journalist, and you are sent on a trip abroad for scoop on a story that will put you in top ranking as a Journalist. What will this news story be about? Who will you interview? Are they famous or well-known? What are they like? Where is the trip? Describe the places you visit. Describe the characters you meet along the way. How will this story change your life? Who would the people be and how would they talk, act, and dress? A nerd? A prep? A jock? The pretty girl? Write your own social satire of the members of your group.

All work must be presented in APA format.

Please answer the following questions using the attachments below:

A manager of a large chain of nationwide sporting goods stores would like to know which of the following factors has the strongest link to sales: Age (median age of customer base in years), HS (percentage of customer base with a high school diploma), College (percentage of customer base with a high school diploma), Growth (annual population growth rate of customer base over the past 10 years), and Income (Median family income of customer base in dollars). Looking at the file WK3_X1.xls what do you conclude? The data stored in the file WK3_X1.xls are the monthly sales totals from a random sample of 38 stores in the franchise. All stores in the franchise and thus within the sample, are approximately the same size and carry the same merchandise. The county, or in some cases the counties in which the store draws the majority of its customers is referred to here as the customer base. For each of the 38 stores, demographic information about the customer base is provided. The data are real, but the name of the franchise is not used, at the request of the company.

Management of a soft-drink bottling company wants to develop a method for allocating delivery costs to customers. Although one cost clearly relates to travel time within a particular route, another cost variable reflects the time required to unload the cases of soft drink at the delivery point. A sample of 20 deliveries within a territory was selected. The delivery times (in minutes) and the number of cases delivered were recorded in the file WK3_X2.xls. An analyst computes the delivery time per case delivered and averages these to get 0.33 minutes. Using this he gives an estimated delivery time of 50 minutes for 150 cases to be delivered. Is this a reasonable delivery time? Explain why or why not. Looking at the data in the file, can you give a better estimate? Make sure that you justify your estimate.

Brief overview:

This week you will explore the preparation for and the implementation of the DRP process. Because DR and BC, both of which play a part in the business resumption (BR) plan, are similar in many regards, it follows that there will be repetition in the underlying preparations and planning. However, although the two may look very similar in structure, and perhaps even in content, they have very different objectives. DR focuses on resuming operations at the normal operating facility (or facilities), known as the primary site. BC concentrates on resuming critical functions at another, alternate site.
