High Potential Employees
We have read about the value of segmenting the workforce to ensure that investments are made where the greatest return can be realized. This does not

mean that all employees are not important – they are. But you can see where the differences in investments between those working in pivotal positions

and those that are not might create tension. Based on readings for this paper, attached to the files and on your experience, what is the best process

for identifying employees who have high potential?

The Water Manager’s Findings on Pollution

Rivers, lakes, and rainwater are the most important freshwater sources for humans. You may know, however, that many freshwater sources are in danger of becoming polluted. Any physical, biological, or chemical change in water quality that adversely affects living organisms or makes the water unsuitable for desired uses can be considered pollution. There are many reasons why a community’s water sources become polluted. Water pollution can occur from sewage or when rainwater runoff from urban or industrial areas, agricultural land, or mining operations makes its way back to rivers, lakes, or oceans, or into the ground. Pesticides can wash into water from farms, lawns, golf courses, agricultural spraying, or leaking storage tanks. Acids, caustics such as lye toxic metals, strong detergents, and other strong inorganic chemicals can find their way into your water through leaking containers, illegal dumping of wastes, or disposal in sewers or septic tanks. In this Assignment, you will play the part of the manager of a water plant. You will evaluate the impact of pollution on the environment and how to clean up local water pollution and conserve the limited clean-water supply.

To prepare for this Assignment:
• Review the many causes of water pollution and the rate at which humans accelerate the causes of water pollution.
• Consider the ways in which water quality control personnel analyze water for the presence of pollution.
• Reflect on water conservation methods that citizens can reasonably employ during a pollution cleanup effort.

The Assignment:
Imagine you are a water manager for a growing urban area in which the local water supply has become polluted and is in short supply.

• Compose a 500-word essay in which you do the following:
o Identify sources of possible water pollution in the urban environment. Assess the immediate damage these sources cause to the local environment and ecosystems, as well as the long-term damage if the pollution is left unchecked.
o Evaluate different recommendations that you, as the plant manager, can make to citizens to reduce water pollution. Rank your ideas in order of difficulty to implement. Explain how citizens might put each of your recommendations to use in the short term to help clean up the water supply.
o Next, address ways to make the water supply safe for consumption. For each idea, evaluate the cost and approximate length of time required to restore the water supply to safe levels. Cite any sources you use to support your ideas, as a plant manager would do in making a report.

Other information: Use APA style of writing, the paper should have an introduction paragraph, body of the paper and a conclusion paragraph that brings it all together. Don’t forget examples to support your answers were needed.

 

 

 

Do you think communication is more important to leaders now than it was in Hitler’s and FDR’s time? Explain why you think so or why you disagree. Who is a more current charismatic leader that you know of, and how are they similar to Hitler or FDR in their communication style?

You must choose one of the two case studies within this assignment brief. Either the ‘Drones’ or ‘Pollution Eating Bikes’ (see cases below). The

company you choose is considering coming to a country of your choice and setting up business. You have been engaged as a management consultant

to help advise on this strategic move. As part of your work you are to undertake an analysis of the “external environment” of the country of

your choice with regards to the attractiveness of that country to the company. You must choose a country that appears favourable to either the

drones, or bike, company (your choice). Your task within this assignment is to undertake an analysis of any THREE (and only three) components of

PESTEL. It is your choice which three elements you investigate. Your submission must address the following: By reference to academic literature

and secondary data sources review the complete PESTEL as a strategic marketing tool. Then with reference to secondary data analyse and evaluate

the three components, making management recommendations concerning the market attractiveness to support the company’s decision to enter the

market of your choice. Your data must be made relevant to the company and country. You are required to produce a business report that

demonstrates your understanding of key aspects of PESTEL analysis. The report should be of relevance to the organisation and be of interest to

the Chief Executive (or equivalent). The advice, based on the PESTEL analysis, will be an important contributor in the decision to enter your

chosen market. The report should have: • an effective Executive Summary • a sound theoretical and conceptual perspective of PESTEL, containing

evidence of critical debate with reference to appropriate academic literature • sound examination of PESTEL factors that the company will need

to consider • an effective practical foundation, which makes management recommendations. You MUST NOT contact the company or its employees or

agents at all. Presentation of PESTEL data in Tables will NOT count within the word count. The Executive Summary, Titles and Reference list also

do NOT count within the word count

The work will be submitted in business report format and should be 2000 words, +/- 10% (excluding Executive Summary, Contents page, titles and

references list). University policy regarding the presentation of references must be followed. Word limits will be inline with Assessment and

Feedback policy, which states that where the submission exceeds the stipulated word limit by more than 10%, the submission will only be marked

up to and including the additional 10%. Anything over this will not be included in the final grade for the assessment. Abstract, Executive

Summary, Bibliography, Reference list, Appendices and Footnotes are excluded from any word limit requirements.

Learning outcomes On successful completion of the module, participants will be able to: Knowledge and Understanding b) Critically select and

apply relevant marketing theories, conceptual models and frameworks in the development of marketing strategies within a dynamic business

environment to produce superior marketplace performance. c) Demonstrate knowledge applied to evaluate marketing practice in relation to the

cross-functional aspects of business & management with the goal of enhancing long-term shareholder value Subject Specific skills d) Synthesise

complex organisational based information, together with dynamic external data into effective marketing lead strategies. 5 Key Skills f) Make

discriminating use of a range of learning resources in order to solve organisational marketing related problems g) Communicate the solutions

the Common Academic Framework – Student Guide for information on the general grading criteria. In order to gain a good pass for this assignment

at this level students are expected to pay attention to the following generic grading criteria.

1-Drone delivery in UAE coming soon

Waheed Abbas/Dubai Filed on July 26, 2017 Space Autonomous Drones to introduce world’s most advanced, sophisticated technologies to the UAE’s

skies

Deliveries by drones are expected to become a reality in Dubai from first quarter of 2018 which will cost nearly 30-40 per cent less than the

traditional delivery mechanisms. During the initial phase, the deliveries will be made in specific areas like Emirates Hills, The Meadows, The

Springs, The Greens, Jumeirah and Umm Suqeim and the will be expanded to a wide range of customers to ship goods and products weighing 5kg or

less to locations across Dubai. Mohammed Johmani, CEO of Eniverse Technologies, expects his company to start operations from March 2018,

depending on the approval from the government which has been initiated and is expected to take from six to 12 months. “We shall start with five

drones and increase it to 100 by 2022. We are talking with two major entities in the UAE to start using our services. This is futuristic project

and it hard to test the demand, as we will be the first movers in the UAE market and one of the few globally,” he told Khaleej Times in an

interview. He revealed that drone deliveries would be cheaper by 30 to 40 per cent compared to traditional delivery avenues and anything

weighing above 5kg will not delivered. A Strategy& report released earlier this week projected the GCC drone market to reach Dh5.5 billion ($1.5

billion) by 2022 with most of investment going into oil and gas sector at $633 million. Transport and logistics sector will see an investment of

$20 million, Strategy& added. The UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority has been working to establish a drone traffic control centre as of

November 2016. Dubai has been taking the lead in using drones for the deliveries of goods as different public entities are experimenting with

deploying the drones to use this cost-effective measure. Governmental entities such as Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and Dubai

Future Accelerator are conducting the trials for deliveries using drones in the coming month. RTA tested an autonomous air taxi in June 2017 and

is expected to start trial operations in the fourth quarter of 2017. Ride hailing app Uber announced in April that it plans to roll out a

network of flying cars in Dubai by 2020. Firas Alfanney, Data Center Group Sales Director, METAR, said the UAE is really leading the region in

terms of technology innovations and “we have seen a lot of announcements like the usage of drones by fire fighters and deploying equipments to

their desired destinations.” Eniverse Technologies has joined hands with San Francisco-based Skycart for the delivery of drones.
2-Clean the air as you ride on pollution-eating bikes
Katie Gibbons July 7 2017, The Times, London
Bikes emitting clean air are being developed in Beijing as part of a global push against pollution Bicycles that absorb pollution and pump out

clean air while you pedal could soon be seen on British streets. The bikes, being developed in Beijing, are part of a global project to clean up

the most-polluted cities. Daan Roosegaarde, a Dutch designer and artist, has signed a partnership with a Chinese bike-sharing startup to

progress the anti-pollution invention. He was behind the Smog Free Tower in the Chinese capital, a seven-metre construction that sucks in dirty

air like a giant vacuum cleaner. Ion technology then filters it, before returning bubbles of clean air through the tower’s vents. Levels of

pollution in London surpassed Beijing this year, hitting a peak of 197 micrograms per cubic metre for particulate matter on the air quality

index in January and prompting the highest pollution alert in the capital. Mr Roosegaarde’s innovative bikes inhale polluted air, clean it and

release clean air around the cyclist. He says that the prototype will be available by the end of the year. They are being developed in

partnership with Ofo, known as China’s “Uber for bicycles”, which has an estimated three million daily users across China. It launched in

Cambridge earlier this year. “We are redefining beauty and lifestyle,” Mr Roosegaarde told The Times. “Beauty is not about the latest Ferrari,

it is about clean air. The bikes will be cheap and easy to make; the concept is simple and needs to be available to everyone.” “Next year we are

launching the smog-free project in Delhi and plan to expand across Europe after that. London would benefit hugely from these bikes — walking

down Oxford Street is the equivalent of smoking more than a dozen cigarettes, but without the pleasure.” The bikes feature a front rack-mounted

module that takes in air, which is then processed by an internal filter that reduces the carbon content. Clean air is pumped out in the

direction of the cyclist so they are not inhaling polluted air as they ride. Mr Roosegaarde said: “It is important that we are launching this in

Beijing — we are bringing the bicycle back to the city. It used to be such a big part of the culture but about 15 years ago it disappeared as

everyone wanted cars. “Now when my Chinese friends see pictures of our prime minister Mark Rutte riding to parliament on a bike they ask, ‘Is he

poor, can he not afford a car?’ I hope in 20 years we will have cities where smog-free projects are no longer needed, that riding a bike is part

of life. “What we are doing here is combining creativity and new technology to create a new and beautiful world. It’s like that quote, ‘There

are no passengers on spaceship earth. We are all crew.’ We are all responsible for making air clean. I cannot write a law but I can make

designs.”
