OR CHOICE 2 In 2013 Rev Ltd set up as a small car manufacturing company. Over the last few years, car sales have increased steadily though they still only have about 1% of the car sales market in the UK. Their main selling point is that they are eco-friendly and cost-efficient. Rev Ltd has just invented a new emissions control system. Recent test results show that this new system will cut the emission of carbon monoxide gas to zero. This will allow them to break into the European car market. Rev Ltd has applied for a patent on their new system. Rev Ltd has recently learned that Renton, the largest car manufacturer in Europe, is about to launch their own new emissions control system, which appears to have exactly the same technology as that of Rev Ltd. Rev Ltd fear that this is a copy of their system and is a breach of their patent. Mr Smith, the managing director of Rev Ltd is also worried about another matter. He has been contacted recently by Mr Jones, the editor of Bottom Gear which is the UKs top-selling car magazine. Mr Jones said that he has been given confidential Rev Ltd documents which prove that the results of Rev Ltd tests on its new emissions control system were fixed and not honestly obtained. Mr Smith has denied these accusations but is concerned as Mr Jones has said that he will publish the story in the next issue of Bottom Gear, which is due to go to press in one week. Advise Mr Smithon any equitable remedies that may be available to Rev Ltd.

For your paper, you will consider a large organization like General Motors which has several locations (plants). You may use General Motors or any other company similar in size. For this paper imagine that the higher management of your plant has just been informed that the plant will close and about half of the employees will be moved to a different location across the country. There are about 1000 employees. Some will be offered early retirements, some will be offered a move (if there is a job for them available at the new location) and others will be laid off. Write a paper about the expected organizational changes that will most likely occur. Choose a change model and outline the steps of that model against the necessary actions that management must take. How will this company prepare their people for this planned move? Consider the period of two years for this complete shutdown to occur. Use a timeline for what and how you would proceed. Discuss the leadership styles that will be necessary during the various phases and the approaches to change that are applicable. Use terms and concepts from our studies. Within your paper answer all the following questions: 1. Briefly summarize THREE key events of organizational change you expect during the transition. 2. How should the leaders handle the situations (key events), based on your knowledge of leading change? You should use concepts and terminology found in the text or other reading from the course. 3. How did the environment affect how the leaders managed change? This question is designed to help you understand how high stress, high demand situations may require different techniques than a “slower” and less stressful environment. Use terms and concepts from our studies. 4. Which group of employees resisted change the most? How were they best handled? Use terms and concepts that we have studied in the past six weeks. Do not just recount the steps of the move. The paper should be in APA format and approximately 4-5 (not including title and reference pages) pages in the main body of the paper. Each page should have approximately 350 words. Papers without at least 1400 words of text (not including title and reference page) will have deductions. Make sure you clearly show the answers to the above questions. If you use quotes in your paper you should have more than 1400 words to compensate for the quotes. Your paper should have at least two additional resources beyond the movie and the course text. Your references must have an author associated with them. Do not use information from the internet unless there is an author. Use scholarly articles.

We have spent a great deal of time in class discussing naturalism in American literature, and have read three novels that employ this literary style: 1.) Sister Carrie, Theodore Dreiser; 2.) The Jungle, Upton Sinclair; 3.) Native Son, Richard Wright. For your third (and final) paper, select one of these novels and write an essay in which you explore the authors use of naturalism:

2.) The Jungle Naturalist works depicted powerful forces shaping American lives at the turn of the twentieth century. Consider Sinclairs comment that the tragedy of The Jungle is, in its every detail, the inevitable and demonstrable consequence of an economic system (xix) capitalism. Analyze the ways in which Sinclair uses naturalism in order to make an argument against capitalism as a social, political, and economic system.

3.) Native Son Richard Wrights novel is a late example of naturalism in American literature. Wright was profoundly influenced by his reading of earlier naturalist authors, in which he found ways and techniques of gauging meaningfully the effects of American civilization upon the personalities of people (How Bigger Was Born 443). Write a paper in which you demonstrate the way in which Wright uses naturalism in order to explain what had made [Bigger] and what he meant (How Bigger 454), paying particular attention to the ways that Wright suggests that an American civilization built upon white privilege and the persistent marginalization of African Americans produced Bigger Thomas.
