In at least 2,000 words (total), pick a different company (different from your Week 4 Assignment) Fortune 500 company and answer the following four questions… (IMPORTANT: For this assignment, the company you choose MUST have at least one union operating somewhere in the workforce).
1. What, if anything, can you glean from publicly available information about the company’s fixed pay compensation? (If the company does not offer publicly available pay information, you might try looking at employee review sites like glassdoor.com to try to get a sense of pay information).  If you were in charge of Human Resources and Workforce Management for the company you selected, how would you approach fixed pay strategy? Identify at least one thing you would change about the way the company is doing things now. Be sure to support your decisions with sound reasoning.
2. What, if anything, can you glean from publicly available information about the company’s variable pay compensation? Does the company advertise offering bonuses, commissions, or any other type of gainsharing to any of its employees? (Again, if the company does not offer publicly available pay information, you might try looking at employee review sites like glassdoor.com to try to get a sense of pay information). If you were in charge of Human Resources and Workforce Management for the company you selected, how would you approach variable pay strategy? Identify at least one thing you would change about the way the company is doing things now. Be sure to support your decisions with sound reasoning.
3. Based on the total rewards compensation strategy of the company (i.e., looking at information on pay, healthcare benefits, retirement programs, etc.), what do you think are the most expensive components of employee costs for the company? Do you think any are significantly more expensive than the average paid by other companies? If you were in charge of Human Resources and Workforce Management for the company you selected, how would you approach employee cost control? Identify at least one thing you would change about the way the company is doing things now. Be sure to support your decisions with sound reasoning.
4. What, if anything, can you glean from publicly available information about the way in which the union(s) operating within the company effect employee pay and benefits? Do the union(s) have a strong membership and presence? Do they appear to wield a significant amount of power? Based on where the company operates (i.e. which states), do you think Right to Work laws are affecting union leverage within the company? If you were in charge of Human Resources and Workforce Management for the company you selected, how would you approach union partnership and negotiations? Identify at least one thing you would change about the way the company is doing things now. Be sure to support your decisions with sound reasoning.

Again, the reason why you are asked to choose a Fortune 500 company is that you are much more likely to find publicly available information for these very large companies insofar as it concerns the parameters of this assignment. Still, some big companies are still a bit shy about publishing some data related to the way they do things – examples commonly include salary ranges and human resources policies and procedures. That said, do the best you can with your research. A good idea, before choosing a company for this assignment, is to take a look at some different company options and assess how much data is available for you – this will ultimately determine how easy it will be to find the answers you need to guide your work.
The 2,000 word requirement here means 2,000 words of substance. So please do not count title pages, headings, or references. Also, if you choose to copy the question text into your paper (which is fine), do not count that either. I am looking for 2,000 words of your own thoughts and responses.
Since you must write at least 2,000 words, it would be my recommendation that you aim for (roughly) 500 words per question.
Your paper should also include a minimum of eight (8) sources (one for each of the questions) – properly cited in-text and in a reference list in APA format.

Complete the attached homework assignment. Submit this assignment to this Assignment Submission Folder. See the due dates on the course syllabus.  Be sure to show your work

Overview
The assignments in this course are framed around a scenario in which you are hired by a company as a consultant to provide a recommendation on solving a challenge or capitalizing on an opportunity. You will draw upon your knowledge and skills around operations, finance, marketing, leadership, etc. for each assignment. The assignments will be completed in a PowerPoint presentation template and will be combined into a final pitch deck that you can add to your portfolio. In your Week 3 assignment you shared important data and insights about your company. In this assignment, you will continue in your role as a hired consultant and analyze that data to create a recommendation for your company to either solve a problem or capitalize on an opportunity. This will be the 2nd part of your pitch deck presentation.

For Slide 2. Identify one challenge or opportunity that you will address as a consultant. In your speaker notes, explain the basis or rationale behind this selection. Remember, you are creating a pitch to the company leadership. Convince them why they should address this challenge or opportunity.
For slides 3-4 research close competitors of the company to determine their approach to a similar challenge or opportunity.
Slides 3-4. Analyze similar solutions for the challenge or opportunity from two competitors. Be sure to provide specific, relevant details to connect the competitors’ approach to your recommendation. (Detailed explanation should be placed in the speaker notes.)
Sides 5-7. Recommend an approach to solve the challenge or capitalize on the opportunity identified for the company. Include specific details explaining which areas in the company would be the focus of your recommendation. (e.g. human resources, management, accounting/finance, marketing, etc.) (Detailed explanation should be placed in the speaker notes.)

This assignment is an individual report, not an essay. Its a global marketing plan for Petrobras. Petrobras decided to seek growth opportunities and now considers
expanding (further) into the global marketplace.
A first screening of international markets led to a short list of potential target country markets. The board
of your company is asking you to develop a global marketing plan for one of those countries. Your
plan will help the board to make a final decision about which country to target ultimately. The maximum word count for this assignment is 2500 words. Please do not go past 2500 words for this assignment (excluding references). 
Choose one country provided below. Petrobras should not already be operating in the country you are selecting. Assess the market attractiveness of the one country that you have chosen for your company and offer
strategic and tactical suggestions of how to best enter this market. The report should include information
on the potential target markets’ macro- and micro-environments; recommendations on the market entry
strategy and target customer; and recommendations on how to adapt (or not adapt) the marketing mix for this
country’s market. It should also include an invest – not invest recommendation. Do not consider
costs/budgets.

For the previous assignment, I had a PowerPoint on Petrobras. I have uploaded this PowerPoint. Also, I have uploaded the assignment brief. Please see these materials as they will help a lot in the report.  Also, the research in the report should be analysed and not have vague or generic answers as it will affect the overall presentation of the report. 
This report requires tables, images and graphics to make it a visually attractive report 
You are expected to use secondary sources both industrial and academic such as the business press, online
industry reports, global databases and journal articles to investigate the market attractiveness of the potential
international target market and to suggest a marketing strategy/programme for entering the international
market.

750 words will be used to review the book you chose to read. 125 words will be written for each of the two books your classmates read and who shared their thoughts with you.
You may use the Web for details but the written words must be your own…no ChatGpt.
Discuss with teammates but do not plagiarize.
You have already done several thousand words of writing as you researched the case studies and prepared Briefing Notes for the Class Participation workout sessions and exams. Your total word count for the semester should be about 10,000 words.
Don’t try to short-cut this project. I should be able to see through that and grade you accordingly. As we discussed, McKinsey people read 15 book a year and Buffett reads even more. I hope you have read one…14 more to go.
Your deadline to submit your Emailed Written Review will be 36 hours from the start of your last class of the semester.
For your Layout, I want Titles, Single-spacing, Subheads (Intro, Strategy Lessons, Conclusions, My Thoughts),Spell/grammar checks, 1/2-inch margin, no visuals, and your very own words.
