MBA 5010 Week 2 Assignment Spring 1 Part A (25 points) Question 1 – Return to week 1 assignment and analyze your writing on Part B. Identify and explain three 1. The first area I can improve on is my formatting and knowing APA Style requirements. I utilized the Webster Writing Center and they helped me recognize the many errors in my draft. 2. The second area I can improve on is focusing and balancing the key points of the assignment rather than a generalized view (beginning/present/future) of the “sharing economy”. 3. The third area I can improve on is reducing editorializing and just stick to the facts and analyzing those facts as it relates to the assignment. Question 2 Poor example Hey all, Great day today. See at our team meeting Monday. I wanted to tell everyone that we’ve had a change in HR Policies. These are kind of important, so everyone will need to listen up. There is a new policy on travel reimbursements. You can’t just go take a trip anymore. The new policy had specific rules that must be followed OR ELSE. The rules include obtaining approval in advance for all travel. This must be obtained 30 days prior to travelling. You also have to use corporate approved travel vendors for all travel including use of rental car agencies. You must save all travel receipts to submit with your travel report. This includes Uber receipts. And, you have to get those travel reports uploaded in the system within one week of travel. Man – that’s a lot to do – but I know our team can make a difference and do it right. If you’ve got some questions – just throw them over to me. Thanks. Joe Smith Subj: New HR Policy on Travel Reimbursement Team, At the Monday meeting the HR department announced the new policy guidelines for Travel Reimbursement. Please read attached file and let me know if you have questions. Joe Smith joesmith@company.com
2 Please follow the below steps for future planned business trips requiring travel reimbursement. IMPORTANT NOTE: Only corporate approved travel vendors (including the use of rental car agencies) may be used. Please see HR for list of vendors. 30 Days Out: Submit Travel Request Obtain Travel Approval Post Travel: (within a week of returning) Submit/Upload Travel Report Submit all receipts (Including Uber receipts) Your explanation here of the difference between your rewrite and the poor example Rewrite Poor Example Contained one main point and included an attachment for the new policy The first email contained several ideas in one paragraph including the sender’s opinions and was very difficult to follow. Concise and stated desired outcome (to announce the new HR Policy) Not concise and not clear on the desired outcome Included contact information Did not include contact information Formatted the steps that need to be taken sequentially Steps that needed to be taken were not clear Trimmed out words not necessary to deliver the message Included too many words: H “These are kind of important, so everyone will need to listen up…” “Man – that’s a lot to do..” Kept it simple (KISS) Too wordy and hard to follow Part B (25 points) This week you are to complete a FINAL response to the following questions. The class will be divided into groups so you and your peers may collaborate on Part B of this assignment. This final response will be evaluated on content as well as completeness and clarity.
3 “…profit-seeking firms create value for the owners, customers, and other stakeholders by continually driving the economy toward an ever more efficient allocation of resources.” The Earth Institute at Columbia University hosted a roundtable on the Sharing Economy. While there are significant sustainability implications of the sharing economy, these are only tangential to our interests. I want you to watch the roundtable discussion, follow up by pursuing your own independent research, and then write approximately 500 words addressing the following. What is meant by the “sharing economy”? How does the sharing economy better allocate underutilized resources? In so doing, how does it “create value”? https://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2017/10/26/the-sharing-economy-is-transforming-sustainability/ Respond here
