  • Title: Implementing a Work-From-Home Policy for Increased Employee Satisfaction and Productivity

    You will choose a change project you would like to develop and plan for in your personal or professional life. Since the course is short-term, the change project is one that you might not be able to complete within that time. Your plan can be one that you will develop in the future. The change must be one you are in control of implementing. 
    Your Assignment should include:
    Overview: Provide a one-paragraph summary of your proposed change project. What are you proposing and why?
    Needs Statement: Provide a general description of the project and determine what is driving this need for change.  How will this change add value to those involved?
    Stakeholders: List all the people who were involved in the change and how you engaged each one.  How did you manage resistance?
    Resources required: List all the human, material, and financial resources you used to complete the change process.
    How did you use your Strengths as outlined in the Strengths Finder while implementing this change?
    Change model: Which change model(s) did you follow?  Please illustrate each of the steps within this model and details regarding the results.
    Success factors: How did you measure success?
    Sustaining the change: How will you build support systems to sustain this change?
    Conclusion: Summarize and synthesize your change project findings & results.
    Your well-crafted Signature Assignment should be 7-9 pages double-spaced (not including cover page or references). Include at least five credible sources to support your paper. You may use any resource included in the course content. The CSU Global Library is also a good place to find references (available in the left-hand navigation panel). 
    Review the grading rubric for this assignment to understand exactly how you will be graded. Contact your instructor if you have questions.

  • Title: Uncovering the Value of a Painting: The Case of Teri Horton and “Who the #$&% Is Jackson Pollock?” In the documentary “Who the #$&% Is Jackson Pollock?”, the definitions of value – anticipated

    WATCH THIS VIDEO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFnJLG0-Px0
    Discuss what definitions(s) of value—anticipated, perceived, or absolute (real/stand-alone) that were animated in this story and where in the film it becomes evident that value is judged this way.
    Consider the characters in the case to understand how the perceived value of the artwork is contingent on the identity of the stakeholders involved with reconciling value. Analyze three stakeholders (i.e. character names or institutions, besides Teri Horton) that matter to determining the value of the painting and how they shape the value within the case. What is the power differential between these stakeholders and Teri and how does it matter to politics of realizing the painting’s value?
    Describe specifically the kinds of utilized or (un-utilized) attributes of Teri that challenge her cause to authenticating the artwork and establishing fair market value? How does her case relate to situations of social justice/injustice and how does her situation speak to the economic/market opportunities coming from a specific class in society?
    Putting yourself in Teri’s position, describe the strategic actions or alliances you would recommend she pursue to change the value of the work and why you suggest these actions/alliances.
