MANAGEMENT OF TECHNICAL ORGANIZATIONS

Problem Assignment 5 Managing Innovation
Assignment
Activity
Select an item or an activity that you believe is an innovation. Be prepared to discuss
this innovation and why it is innovative, in a five-minute presentation in an Adobe
Connect Session. Feel free to show an example of the innovation during the
presentation. Record your presentation and submit the URL in two places:
assignments as you have with scenarios and in the discussion forum for Innovation
Presentations to share with your fellow students. Please make sure after recording
that you make your presentation public.
This innovation does not have to be work related and, in fact, innovations from a
broad range of fields will make the presentations more useful. As a Senior Manager,
you will often be called upon to support innovative activities in areas with which you
are not as familiar as you might be. Being able to appreciate your fellow students’
perspectives on what makes an activity or item innovative will allow all of us to
develop a more complete perspective on the various attributes of innovation.

Webquest

 

Few people immigrate to new countries simply because they want to. Often there are financial or political reasons people need to leave their home, thus leading them and perhaps many members of their family to a new place where automatically they will be treated as outsiders. Seldom does this uprooting represent tacit desire to be at the new place. Often this act entails pain and sadness, not only with respect to leaving family and friends, but also due to a grand lack of welcome in the new spot. There are positive stories, indeed. There are also many more stories of strife and hardship, including imagery of horrific violence and indeed rancid squalor. Thus, this assignment deals with the topic of displacement, a phenomenon often imposed on innocent people.

There is little question that the politics surrounding refugees, immigration, and displacement are daily conversations in the media and in our profession. As a result, it will be more than essential that we be both aware of and clued in on professional conversation with respect to asserting that language minority students have voice in today’s school, community, and public policy conversations.

For this web quest, you will be asked to delve into the topic of displacement as such applies to the lives of refugees, immigrants, and indeed language minority students. Reasons for doing so include notions that policy makers often fail to take into consideration issues of human rights, racism, or oppression in those displaced.

You will have this week to work on the project and offer your results at next week’s discussions threads online with Moodle. You may work with as many as two partners, if you’d like.

Objectives

Demonstrate an understanding of a particular issue facing language minority students and language learners with respect to displacement, immigration, or refugees.
Become conversational regarding the issues surrounding this issue.
Understand where your voice may be offered up publicly with respect to this issue.
Possible procedure:

Select a specific issue or event currently pertinent to language learners, immigrants, language minority students with respect to public policy toward displacement, immigration, or refugees.
Research and collect media related articles concerning a particular issue of displacement, involuntary immigration (particularly with respect to children), or refugees. In other words, attempt to answer this question: What is public perception concerning the issue?
Research the policies (local, state, or national) that are actually in place or that are currently being considered.
Research what organizations are trying to do in order to address these issues. Statements may include responses that professional organizations and community centers are making in response to these policies, either positive or negative.
Show the context and spectrum of this issue, a story of people from this context, and the nature of the response (both in terms of policy and aid).
Idea: If you can personalize your report with a story of a particular person, you can substantially underscore the issues represented in your report.
Here are some possible topics:

Displacement due to warDisplacement due to economic hardship
Hunger
Political asylum
Human rights
Illness
Employment
Illegal immigration
Human trafficking

Communicate with an expert

You may want to email an expert who can help you discuss the context and story you’re investigating. (Of course, you might consider other forms of communication, but you can start online here, being that this is a WebQuest). Here is a possibilities from the Refugees International Web site. You can attempt to contact anyone who participates with these Web sites.
Video/audio material

If you can, you can refer to and include any video or audio you come in contact with that helps you put your story into context.

Example books available in Green Library

You might refer to some publications regarding specific displacement events. Here are some examples of books that are available in the Green Library. Their codes are included,

Darfur: A Short History of a Long War. Julie Flint & Alex de Waal.
Green Library General Collection DT157.673 .F58 2005

One Day the Soldiers Came: Voices of Children in War. Charles London.
Green Library General Collection HQ784.W3 L65 2007

Human Cargo: A Journey Among Refugees. Caroline Moorehead.
Green Library General Collection HV640 .M66 2005

Guiding questions

As you consider displacement, here are some guiding questions that might help you. As you go through these, you too might come up with other questions that will help your colleagues. Please feel free to add to the list.

Give us some history about refugees, immigration, and displacement.

What has been professional organizations’ response to the displacement?
What has been professional organizations’ response to the displacement?
What are the main issues?
What are the arguments on all sides offer up?
What have been the results?
Include an online discussion chat with transcript from the Moodle chat room. Do this at the end of your project. Discuss the most critical and important elements you learned from the project.

Final output: An online “Book”

You’ll put together a small online “book.” This can take shape as a web site, a downloadable MS Word document, a brief film, a PowerPoint, any other kind of media, or a combination thereof. Feel free to include graphics, animation, sound, if you’d like. The point will be that you’re offering a story and its context.

Show off your book next week in the online discussions section.

Income Based on Number of Children

 
1. Give a brief, clear description of your chosen outcome variable (Ideal number of children). This description must include a verbatim quote of the question as it was asked on the General Social Survey, a description of how people answered it (what answers were possible?) and what you think those answers mean. (2 points)
2. Discuss the explanatory variable that you have chosen (Total family income) , including a quote of the second question as it was asked on the General Social Survey and a description of how people answered it, as for the outcome variable. (2 points)
3. Write about your theory for WHY your explanatory variable should explain differences in answers people gave to your outcome variable. As part of this explanation you should discuss the article(s) you located using JSTOR, and cite the articles in your text as discussed in class. Every cited article must have a bibliographic reference at the end of the text section of your report.(3 points)
4. Evaluate the empirical pattern that you find in the crosstabulation you obtained from the General Social Survey data. Are the columns of answers to your outcome question different for different categories of your explanation? Describe how answers to your outcome variable differed for people giving different answers to your explanatory variable. (2 points)
5. Include a reference in the text to your table constructed from those results, and include the table itself on a separate page at the end of the essay*. (3 points)
6. Compare the pattern you have found to what you have learned about this supposed relationship from your JSTOR-cited articles. Present your conclusions about how well your explanation works in predicting the differences among people you studied. Were you right? What else might be at work in this situation?
