Please select a prominent nationally or internationally circulated print publication, either a newspaper or magazine, and research its history.
Then, write an essay of at least 500 words. Please compose the essay as a double-spaced Word document. Assignment submissions in other formats are not accepted for credit.
Begin with a title page at the front of your document showing the correct assignment title, the course name, your name, and the date consistent with APA format for title pages. Do not use font larger than 12-point, please. Follow the guidelines for essay title pages as shown in The Center for Writing Excellence (linked below).
Start the body of the paper’s narrative with a paragraph to introduce the topic and preview what the paper will cover. This introductory paragraph gets the reader “up to speed” with the topic and the key points being addressed.
Then, follow with an essay focusing on the history of your selected nationally or internationally circulated publication and the evolution of that type of medium.
When was the publication first published?
Who founded the publication and where was it first published?
Who was the original intended audience?
How has the content (e.g., photos, articles, advertisements) changed over time?
How widely circulated is this publication? Publications with more readership tend to have greater impact.
What impact, if any, has the publication had on American culture? How do you know this for sure?
What are your predictions for how the publication will survive or advance in the future?
Conclude the narrative of the essay with a paragraph or so that summarizes the key points of your paper. Tell why this information is important for people who want to understand the impact of a particular print publication on society.
Cite at least two references to support your ideas. These references should align with specific examples of how media have influenced culture in the past 50 years or so. List the sources on a References page at the end of the assignment submission. APA format in-text reference citations are required. For help with APA format, contact Dr. Swanson and/or see the information to follow below.

Imagine you work as an HR professional for the company you selected in the first assignment in Week 3. The company has been having issues with their current performance evaluation process. Some of the issues include the data collection process, proper documentation, and making appropriate decisions on employee performance. Your manager has asked you to evaluate and update their current performance evaluation process and present it as a training module to a group of new supervisors in your organization. Apply the revised or improved evaluation process to the specific job you created in the Week 3 assignment. Note that your manager has asked you to present the new process in the form of a PowerPoint presentation.
Create a PowerPoint presentation with speaker’s notes to present this new tool to new supervisors.
Create a PowerPoint presentation to present this new tool to new supervisors. Include the following points:

The PowerPoint presentation should be a minimum of 10 slides with corresponding speaker’s notes, in addition to a title slide and references slide. Include graphics as needed to improve, enhance, or clarify the content.

In at least 2,000 words (total), pick a single Fortune 500 company, review job listings from the company and research their compensation and benefit plans, and then answer the following four questions…(IMPORTANT: For this assignment, the company you choose MUST have at least some job listings posted online for hiring purposes)
1. What does the company’s “total rewards” package look like? What do they offer above and beyond merely a paycheck? If you were in charge of Human Resources and Workforce Management for the company, how would you approach total rewards and compensation? 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 way the company ensures pay equity and pay fairness? Do they have a pay transparency policy? Do they have an affirmative action program? Do they have any other measures in place to safeguard fairness and consistency in terms pay and benefits? If you were in charge of Human Resources and Workforce Management for the company you selected, how would you approach pay equity and fairness? 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. Critique job descriptions that you find in job listings online. What information is thoroughly included? What information is missing? What information needs to be more clearly explained to potential applicants? If you were in charge of Human Resources and Workforce Management for the company you selected, how would you approach job analyses and job descriptions? 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 the company strategizes employee pay? Do they appear to focus on industry benchmarks, or competitor offerings, or something else altogether? Do they advertise their job offerings as being particularly well-compensated compared with any kind of relative or objective baseline? If you were in charge of Human Resources and Workforce Management for the company you selected, how would you approach employee 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.
—————
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 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 (two for each of the questions) – properly cited in-text and in a reference list in APA format.

Important:
Intrinsic Motivation is the best form of motivation?  State why! Also, what propels employee performance 
You must have a lead speaker, someone to lead the discussion on the topic, and one person to do the rebuttals. Also, as a team, you can decide who will conclude or close the debate for your team.
Judging Criteria: 
1. Whether you stay on the topic.
2. Whether you present facts.  You can also incorporate props.
3. Whether you include a scenario in your speech.
A strong conclusion for the speech.

Write an Executive Summary based on the attached documents.
The Executive Summary is the most important part of your business plan. Often, it’s the only part that a prospective investor or lender reads before deciding whether or not to read the rest of your plan. It should convey your enthusiasm for your business idea and get readers excited about it, too. 
Write your Executive Summary LAST, after you have completed the rest of the business plan. That way, you’ll have thought through all the elements of your startup and be prepared to summarize them. 
The Executive Summary should briefly explain each of the below.
1. An overview of your business idea (one or two sentences). 
2. A description of your product and/or service. What problems are you solving for your target customers? 
3. Your goals for the business. Where do you expect the business to be in one year, three years, five years? 
4. Your proposed target market. Who are your ideal customers? 
5. Your competition and what differentiates your business. Who are you up against, and what unique selling proposition will help you succeed? 
6. Your management team and their prior experience. What do they bring to the table that will give your business a competitive edge? 
7. Financial outlook for the business. If you’re using the business plan for financing purposes, explain exactly how much money you want, how you will use it, and how that will make your business more profitable. 
Limit your Executive Summary to one or two pages in total. 
After reading the Executive Summary, readers should have a basic understanding of your business, should be excited about its potential, and should be interested enough to read further.
