Winsome Manufacturing Company produces plastic storage containers and sells them to the home consumer through home sales events.
Winsome Manufacturing Company produces plastic storage containers and sells them to the home consumer through home sales events. At the company’s quarterly meeting, the head of marketing described a new product to be introduced in the first quarter of the next fiscal year, approximately 9 months from now. The product will be a room-sized plastic storage unit suitable to the outside of the home; it is similar to a competitor’s product but will have significantly more features. This product will open new markets for the sales channel, lay the foundation for add-on products, and generate new revenues. Management has only seen preliminary sketches of the potential product but are very excited by the new product.
The project will require participation from the design, production, purchasing, shipping, sales, and marketing departments. Winsome Manufacturing owns a line of suitable injection molds, so all manufacturing will be done in-house. The project manager for this project has not yet been selected, but that decision is expected to be made in the next week.
A preliminary project initiation meeting will result in the identification of the project sponsor, selection of a project manager, and creation of the project charter. A manager in the production department who knows you are taking a college project management course asks you to prepare a brief report to help him prepare for the meeting by answering the following questions:
Who are the project stakeholders? How will they be involved in the project? Who should be the project sponsor? Why? From which department should the project manager come? Why? What skills and experience are likely needed by the project manager for each phase in the project life cycle, and how do they differ between the various phases? What type of communication plan will likely be needed during the project? What information should be shared with the project stakeholders? What is the mechanism that could be used for each type of information? What is the frequency with which information should be shared? What should be done if project communications are not proving to be effective? What technology could be used for project communications? At what point could communication about the project become an ethical or legal issue? What information should be included in the following elements of the project charter: What is the problem the project proposes to address? What business opportunity might project completion create? What is the business case for undertaking the project? What is the financial impact of the project? What are the expected results of the project? What value will the project add? What are risks that might be involved with undertaking the project? What is the potential impact to the company if the project is not undertaken?
Present your findings as a Word document of 4–5 pages (not including title and reference pages) formatted in APA style
Zwilling (2013), Many people seem to have the sense that ethics are spiraling downward in business
According to Zwilling (2013), Many people seem to have the sense that ethics are spiraling downward in business, yet most business professionals and entrepreneurs I know don’t believe they can make a difference. They don’t realize that if they don’t take an active role in the solution, they really become part of the problem. (para. 1) Review the five solutions to ethical problems described by Zwilling. Select one solution and describe how you would apply it from a managerial perspective (perhaps at your current workplace).

Natural selection in monkey flowers Some monkey flowers
Part C - Natural selection in monkey flowers Some monkey flowers (Mimulus guttatus) living near the sites of copper mines can grow in soil containing high concentrations of copper, which is toxic to most plants. Copper tolerance is a heritable trait. The map below shows the area near an old copper mine, which contaminated the nearby soil with copper. A stream flows past the mine toward the lake at the bottom right of the map.
Use the map to determine which of the statements below are true.
Select the three statements that are true.
The population that existed before mining must have included both copper-tolerant and copper-intolerant plants. If you were to test monkey flowers growing on the shore of the lake, you would expect nearly 100% of them to be copper tolerant. Copper contamination in the soil created copper-tolerant plants. Nearly 100% of monkey flowers growing in copper-contaminated soil are copper tolerant. Natural selection favors copper tolerance in all soils near the old mine, not only in the contaminated soils. Copper-tolerant plants are found only in contaminated soils.

Former top Hong Kong official sentenced to 20 months in prison
Hong Kong (CNN)Hong Kong's former leader has been jailed for 20 months, becoming the city's highest-ranking official to be put behind bars.
Donald Tsang, who was Chief Executive from 2005 to 2012, was jailed by the High Court for 20 months after he was found guilty by a jury of misconduct in public office, according to broadcaster RTHK.
The charges stem from a luxury penthouse in Shenzhen, across the Chinese border, that the 72-year-old former leader intended to use as a retirement home.
According to RTHK, Justice Andrew Chan told the court the seriousness of the case was due to Tsang's high position and the "breach of trust was an important and significant aspect in his criminality."
The sentencing comes after around 40 high profile Hong Kongers wrote letters in support of Tsang and calling for leniency, including the two frontrunners to be the city's next Chief Executive.
Tsang also faces a potential retrial in September, after the jury failed to reach a verdict on a separate charge of bribery.
Carrie Lam, candidate to be Hong Kong's next leader, arrives in court last week to testify for Donald Tsang's defense.
Homeland Security unveils sweeping plan to deport undocumented immigrants
CLOSE
The Department of Homeland Security has begun rolling out President Donald Trump's plans for a wider crackdown on people coming into the United States illegally. Here they are. USA TODAY NETWORK
The Department of Homeland Security issued a sweeping set of orders Tuesday that implement President Trump's plan to increase immigration enforcement, placing the vast majority of the nation's 11 million undocumented immigrants at risk of deportation.
The memos instruct all agents — including Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — to identify, capture and quickly deport every undocumented immigrant they encounter.
The memos require undocumented immigrants caught entering the country to be placed in detention until their cases are resolved, increase the ability of local police to help in immigration enforcement, call for the hiring of 10,000 more immigration agents and allow planning to begin on an expansion of the border wall between the United States and Mexico.
The memos make undocumented immigrants who have been convicted of a crime the highest priority for enforcement operations. But they make clear that ICE agents should also arrest and initiate deportation proceedings against any other undocumented immigrant they encounter.
Ketchum City Council.
Decide the sequence of crashing decisions you would make to compress the project most cost effectively and calculate the total cost (remember to include the penalty incurred for weeks past the end of September and to consider the bonus). Formulate a plan for presenting the options to the Ketchum City Council.
How is Technology Changing the Face of Business Today
How is Technology Changing the Face of Business Today?
The traditional retail model has focused on finding high-margin, high-volume products or services because limited space means reduced space inventory. For example, organizations such as Walmart select the biggest hits from the broadest genres, called the “short head.” The short head means Walmart will only carry a select mix of country, pop, and rock that is calculated to provide the greatest cost/benefit. The business model of Amazon is different. Amazon provides the short head but also provides the “long tail” of more than 100,000 different audio selections. The competition for customers between the Walmart and Amazon marketplace is profoundly changing the face of retail business today.
Using the assigned reading and the Argosy University online library resources, find at least three scholarly articles that address similar current trends related to e-business and how e-business is changing the face of businesses today.
Using your company or a real-world example from your research, respond to the following:
Describe how technology is changing the face of businesses today.
Describe the most critical business processes that utilize information systems in your selected company.
Explain how IT makes the company’s business processes faster, cheaper, more accurate, and customer-savvy than that of competitors.
Cite at least three sources found in your online library research.
Give reasons and examples from your research to support your responses.
Write 3–5-page paper in Word format. Be sure to use and cite the module readings. Apply APA standards to citation of sources

Applying to Graduate School
Applying to Graduate School
In the first two modules, you explored your career options and identified available positions related to your interests. You also determined which of these positions requires a master’s or a doctoral degree. For this assignment, research graduate school programs for the selected career using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet.
For this assignment, you will need to complete the following:
Select one of the careers that require graduate-level degrees.
Identify at least three graduate school programs you would consider attending. For example, if you hope to become a licensed professional counselor (LPC), you would first need to earn a master’s degree at the very least. You would want to research programs that provide master’s degrees in counseling. Include research on whether you would fulfill the requirements for licensure in your state of residence if you completed those specific programs. Cover the following:
Indicate which license you would seek and which programs would or would not prepare you to be eligible for licensure.
If you want to become licensed, ensure that these programs meet your state’s requirements for licensure. For example, if you wish to become an LPC, you would have to review the American Association of State Counseling Boards and locate your state’s licensing board website address.
For each of the three graduate school programs, research and discuss the institution’s accreditation. You may find that many state licensing boards require programs to be regionally accredited.
You might want to review the US Department of Education’s Database of Accredited Postsecondary Institutions and Programs to determine whether the school is regionally accredited.
Most states also require a specialized accreditation for licensure as an LPC or a psychologist. For counseling licenses, most states honor programs that have the CACREP designation. For psychology licenses, APA accreditation is usually required. Click here to find programs with the CACREP designation.
Discuss any concerns you may have about applying to or attending graduate school. List any questions you have about the application or licensure process.
Provide at least two authoritative references or sources for the information you have discussed. One of these can be the textbook.
Submission Details:
Write your initial response in a minimum of 300–400 words. Apply APA standards to cite sources.

The book reviews 10 different agile principles. The first is that active user involvement is imperative. From last week’s reading on requirement elicitation we know this is the hardest step. One of the ways to combat any issues was having the user involved. As a developer we don’t know exactly how the business process should be handled and any smaller quirks that might make the work easier. Thats where the user comes in. Another principle is that the requirements may evolve but the timescale is fixed. Projects can’t take years to finish. By sticking with the time line it forces the stakeholders and the developers to prioritize features. Get the high priority ones up and running and get a working product out the door. Finally a collaborative and cooperative approach between all stakeholders is essential. This is one of the biggest in my mind. Stakeholders encompass a wide group of people from the everyday users to the CEO of the company. There may be a financial incentive to develop the new project but without the end user’s input it may result in a product that doesn’t help at all. Having all stakeholders agree on the requirements or main features ensures a product that works for everyone.
As a stakeholder, i wouldn’t see an issue with this approach. It guarantees a working product within a specific time frame. I am able to give my opinion on what is needed and by being able to communicate openly and often with the design team i know my money is going towards something that is going t work.

As I read the question for this weeks discussion, I chose principles that I already do and would follow these principles as a project stakeholder; I may not be a project stakeholder, but as a supervisor. The textbook overviews ten principles of agile development. If you were to research other websites or businesses, you will see that the number and description of the agile principles will vary, but they all align with developing a guideline that assist in the agile development process.
As stated in my introduction, I chose principles that I would use as a project stakeholder; the team must be empowered to make decisions, requirements evolve but the timescale is fixed, and a collaborative and cooperative approach between all stakeholders is essential.
It is vital to an organization to be able to work cooperatively together as a team. With that, the project manager should realize that a member of the team may have a concept for the software development cycle that will provide benefits. Also, that member also be willing to assume responsibility and ownership of its actions / results.
I think that we all have worked on a project (any kind) that at some point during, its requirements had changed and we still needed to have the final project completed on time. That is what the principle of requirements evolves but the timescale is fixed means. It is also a principle that is unavoidable and should be discussed with the staff at some point in the planning process for software development.
Software development often begins as an idea by either a team or individual. In a structured organization, you may receive software requests from an outside organization. It is important that all requirements for the project to be communicated thoroughly to the development team. All stakeholders (the development team, users, and customers) should be incorporated during the life cycle to be able to identify and evolve any new requirements. It is important that all the stakeholders in the project have a collaborative approach towards each other. When they can all communicate clearly and concise, there will be less error and better work habit and performance.
