Whether you ultimately aspire to make films or not, the approach to this class is as if you do. Making a short film is a terrific place to start, but it’s important to keep in mind that short films are usually only a means to an end. The end is to be able to continue making films and ultimately get paid to do so. For the most part, short films, in and of themselves, are not something that are inherently marketable. Instead, they are a showcase for your talent (along with others in your cast and crew) whether it be writer, director, producer, cinematographer, editor, actor, etc. (or all of the above). However, a short film can also be much more than that. With the proper intention, it can be a marketable commodity. Meaning that your film is designed to become something larger, something that you can promote/sell. And the most practical way to achieve this is to create a Proof of Concept short film. Essentially to “prove” that your short film deserves to be made into something larger, something that someone else pays for! Keep in mind that a “proof of concept” short can apply to whatever medium you have interest in creating something bigger for: feature films, television series, web series, etc.
What is a Proof of Concept?
Your assignment for this week is to find out. Please access the link below and read the article What is a Proof of Concept? Then, provide a brief summary of the article which demonstrates an understanding of the concept. One robust paragraph should be enough to demonstrate understanding of the concept.

We had to go to a practice formal interview with a company in our career path. Mine is business but pursuing a career in Transportation in Logistics.
A one-page reflection paper must be made on the formal interview telling what company interviewed you, how you feel the interview went and how this exercise benefitted you.
The company that interviewed me was Buddy Moore Transportation in Opp, AL.
The interview went well… you can just write whatever you want to as far as the one page reflection paper.

Following the instructions in Learning with Cases from the Ivey course pack (attached in file), complete the long cycle case chart for the GSK case (attached in file) assigned from your course pack.
Notice the section “Case Data Analysis” has a parenthetical note, “(Course frameworks and analytical tools).” This is a placeholder for a LOT of information. For BUAD 301, “Course frameworks” are any analytical paradigms described in the case itself or in the reading that is paired with the case. For other classes in the College of Business and Economics, “Course frameworks” are any analytical paradigms described in (1) the case itself, (2) any assigned readings, and (3) lectures. “Analytical tools” are all of the methods of analyzing a case explained in Note 7 for of the Student Guide to the Case Method in your course pack. Complete every method of analysis for which the case provides sufficient data and add that information to your Long Cycle Case Chart. Not every case provides all of the information necessary to complete every method of analysis explained in Note 7. Make a note of any analysis that could not be completed due to lack of information. A professor may provide that missing information as part of a case exam prompt.

The Course Project Scenario In this course, you are introduced to a complex proj

The Course Project Scenario In this course, you are introduced to a complex project scenario as follows: You have been assigned to be the project manager for the facility, equipment, and business system upgrade of a call center. This requires • moving all existing call center stations to a newer, larger facility; • installing and testing a high-speed, high-capacity Wi-Fi network in the new facility; • upgrading workstations so that they include wireless capability; • installing a new call center management software; and • converting a legacy proprietary business system with a customer relationship management (CRM) application to a new business system. In this project scenario, time is of the essence. The project sponsor requires that the project take no longer than 6 months to complete. Further, the budget is constrained so that the number of people assigned to the project is very limited and includes the following: Position / Task Number of People Outside consultants: 2 Project manager: 1 Business system project lead: 1 Business system implementation team: 3 Wireless system project lead: 1 Wireless system implementation team: 3 Relocation project lead: 1 Relocation team: 2 Workstation project lead: 1 Workstation upgrade team: 2 Outside contractors: Up to five multidisciplinary contractors are allowed in the budget. Note: The wireless system project lead and the workstation project lead are the same person. Two of the three-member wireless system implementation team overlap with the workstation team. This means that only four resources are available for the wireless system implementation and workstation upgrade (not counting the possible use of contractors). The total resources available to the project include 14 people plus 5 contractors. In this assignment, you will use this scenario to identify the project requirements, define the project scope using a work breakdown structure (WBS), and define the activities required to produce project deliverables. Background MobileGo is a small company that sells prepaid mobile phones in selected markets. Its primary sales and service channel is carried out over the internet and by phone. Sales and service has been supported with a team of 36 customer service representatives in a small building. Customers, accounts, and all business functions have traditionally been managed by a proprietary software application using in-house servers that was contracted out early in the founding of the company. All workstations currently connect to the internet and the internal servers supporting the legacy business system and office applications. This is a problem because the company had to move workstations to different parts of the building as the company has grown (thereby making network wiring out of control). The company has grown 150% over the last 5 years and as a result, the systems, the building, and the overall infrastructure have become outgrown. The company has therefore recognized the need to move to a new location and upgrade workstations and systems. The immediate need is to expand from 36 stations to 50 with the plan to triple that number within the next 3 years. The immediate challenges are little funding and few people to spare for this set of initiatives. With multiple activities occurring at once and severe constraints on schedule and resources, it is acknowledged that this is a highly complex project. The Assignment You have been assigned as the overall project manager for this important initiative. Your supporting team consists of 14 members (not counting contractors), including two outside consultants supporting the business system and wireless upgrade. Now that you have been given this important assignment, here are your next steps. 1. Identify what you deem to be the client requirements. 2. Using the requirements list, create a work breakdown structure (WBS) that identifies all project deliverables. 3. Identify the activities (tasks) required to produce each project deliverable. 4. When identifying project activities, highlight each that may be expected to require the same resources to be carried out in parallel. These highlights will be your first clue that the management of the project can be expected to require some complex maneuvering. Guidance notes: The client requirements should be four pages in length to summarize. You must use at least one outside source that is peer-reviewed. Draw upon the high-level project scenario and, in addition, feel free to draw upon your own experience or research when developing the requirements. Also, remember that the WBS includes deliverables only rather than activities. While the WBS may be written in either a graphical or indented outline form, the indented outline may be a better approach. This is because the activities, once identified, may be easily layered over the project deliverables when using the outline form. Submit the requirements summary in a Word document. The WBS and Activity Identification exercise may be completed using either Word or Excel.

Personality + Cultural Influences Presentation General Guidelines This assignmen

Personality + Cultural Influences Presentation General Guidelines This assignment will require a little research on your part. One of the most important aspects of organizational behavior is understanding people – this starts with oneself. The purpose of this assignment is to help you gain a better understanding of who you are (lead, communicate, sense-making, perspective, etc.). Additionally, this assignment will help raise self-awareness and awareness of others’ preferences. Finally, this assignment situates you in the global context and your interactions in intercultural interactions and multicultural settings. Cultural preferences are learned through our interactions and experiences. What preferences “look like” in action, therefore, reflects the culture’s values, beliefs, and expectations. Together, the 2 required instruments highlight your personality-encouraged preferences and your preferences in action. Together they provide valuable insight to you and others in interactions, on teams, in organizations, and the communities in which you operate. This assignment requires the use of 2 instruments: 1. The Myers Briggs Type Indicator MBTI Personality Type Test (UHD SP25).pdf The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is one of the most well-known personality type instruments used globally. The MBTI is based on research by distinguished psychologist Carl Jung, and is designed to identify a person’s personality type, strengths, and preferences via self-report. In other words, the MBTI results reveal insights about YOU as an individual, from your point of view. 2. The Culture Map Personal Profile The Culture Map Personal Profile (CMPP), based on the well-established research of Hall, Hofstede, and other cultural anthropologists and interculturalists, builds upon the MBTI. Like a snapshot, the MBTI reveals personality-related data. The CMPP, via self-report, reveals the behavioral manifestations that reflect a person’s values and preferences/. In other words, CMPP focuses on preferences in action – in particular, 8 preferences relevant to organizational behavior (communicating, decision making, delivering negative feedback, persuading, dealing with conflict, etc.). Which came first, the personality or the culture? It’s chicken and egg; one influences the other, but it’s difficult to say which came first. The important part is to be aware of influences that make us each who we are – not better or worse, just different. This understanding contributes to your management and leadership capacities as well as your ability to lead and leverage organizational behavior. The Culture Map book is available in UHD library here: https://ebookcentral-proquest-com.uhd.idm.oclc.org/lib/uhdowntown/detail.action?docID=1634787Links to an external site. The Culture Map Personal Profile is available here: https://erinmeyer.com/tools/the-personal-profile-tool/Links to an external site.. There is a nominal fee (approx $5). When purchasing the tool, please use your UHD email address and this 50% off code: Z2G64WEV Instructions You will have a lot of autonomy with this presentation, but there are some key items that must be addressed in your 10-minute (minimum) to 15- minute (maximum) video presentation. • Complete the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) then summarize the scores in the form of a PowerPoint, and present your findings and their significance via a “live” video presentation. • Overview of the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) • Overview of your personality type • Are you in agreement – why or why not? • What do your results imply about you? • Anything surprising in your results? • Highlight 2-3 CCMP dimensions that you find particularly relevant to your present job role and responsibility. • Do you see any correlation between your MBTI results and your CCMP results? In what way(s)? • Conclusions and implications • What can you do with these results? • What is your main take-away from the assignment? Please turn in Powerpoint (15 slides or more), Myers Briggs Type test, and summary paper.
