Please also make sure that your document is formatted correctly (double-spaced, 1 margins on all sides, Times New Roman, Font size 12).

You will describe the basic tenets of the theories and apply the theories to interpret the case study. Assessment Instructions Preparation For this assessment, you will examine how behaviorism and social cognitive theories could be applied in an everyday learning situation. First, select one of the four case studies presented in the Case Study media piece in the Required Resources area. You will use this case study to complete not only this assessment, but Assessments 2 and 5 as well. Instructions Reflecting upon what you have learned about behaviorism and social cognitive theories, describe the basic tenets of each theory. Using theory-specific terminology, describe the elements of your selected case study that relate to each theory. What elements of the case study would be important from a behaviorist perspective? What elements of the case study would be important from a social cognitive perspective? Pretend that the character in the scenario has overcome her or his learning barrier. Explain how one might achieve his or her goal supported by each of the learning theories. Complete the following: Describe the basic tenets of behaviorism. Describe the basic tenets of social cognitive theory. Apply behaviorism and social cognitive theory terminology and concepts to case study. Explain how both behaviorism and social cognitive theory might be used to resolve the problem presented in the case study. Additional Requirements Length: 57 pages (not counting your title page or references), double-spaced. Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 points. Number of references: Minimum of five references. Article distinctions: There are three different types of articles. Research articles present original research, review articles discuss research already presented elsewhere, and survey articles are comprehensive review articles that discuss an entire field or area of research. References to books are acceptable, but they should be kept to a minimumpreferably, no more than five. APA style: References and citations should be formatted according to current APA style and formatting standards.

Assignment-4: Company Assessment MGMT 201, Fall 2018, Prof. Gilmore Complete the tasks below and submit two (2) stapled hardcopies of your work at the beginning of class on December 6. Print one-sided, in portrait orientation, with staple in upper-left corner of the pages. Include a cover page that includes the course number (MGMT 201), semester (Fall 2018) and of course, your name and company studied. And ideally, include your full name in the footer of each pagehelpful should any pages become separated from the rest. The length of your submission is at your discretion; just dont add words for the sake of adding words. Both insightfulness of content and crispness of responses will be valued. Responses to each question are worth up to 10 points apiece. For your selected company, research various publications (articles, books, company reports) and website resources to inform your answers to the following (based on the nine chapters of What Management Is): 2. What is the companys business model (assumptions, hypotheses, or story of how it plans to generate profits. i.e., why it uses the resources it does and how it organizes them to create revenue)? Be sure to address who are the companys (paying) customers and any structural market/industry issues that may affect what the company does. 3. What strategy does the company appear to be using to differentiate its offerings (if detectible)? What alternative directions should the company be actively investigating as possible new frontiers for creating increased value? Think on behalf of the company: What is taking place in the marketplace (customer behavior) or in broader culture (societal shifts) that should influence its thinking? What threats exist?obvious ones, but also the less recognized? 4. Provide some basic information about the companys organization: When and where was the company started? Where is it headquartered today? What are the companys annual sales revenues and profits? (This data is publically available for publicly traded companies; if a privately-held business, estimate.) How many employees does the company employ? Does the company operate certain types of facilities or have special capabilities worth highlighting? 5. If the company were to craft a new mission statement (one or two sentences to express what it exists to do, and why), what statement would you recommend? You should completely ignore any current mission statement the company may have already. (Feel free to research how to write a good mission statement; you may find Forbes.com particularly helpful.) 6. What one new measurement would you recommend the company start monitoring? Why? (Think here in terms of creating a new-to-the-world metric, not just applying an existing one.) 7. To help inform and drive innovation: What people and activities (done by these people) would you suggest the company be sure to observe? What one, two, or three questions would you be curious to ask these customers or prospective customers? 8. What new opportunities might the company focus upon and/or what current (old) practices might it consider abandoning? 9. What people would you suggest the company consider hiringin terms of background, skills, life experiences and knowledgeparticularly to enrich how the organization thinks about itself (who we are) and how it operates (what we do) today and in the future? Also worth up to 10 points: 10. Please include an annotated bibliography of the articles, books, websites (specific URLs) and other research sources which helped inform your responses. This should include both source citations and brief commentary on the usefulness of each source. (Google-search annotated bibliography examples if unfamiliar with this type of reference format.) These citations need not be limited to articles, books, websites and other sources focused exclusively on the company itself; consider too sources that provide perspective on the companys overall industry, its particular contextual challenges (changes in science, technology, demographics, and cultural/societal attitudes and behaviors), or other business- related trends which may affect the company. All responses will be judged based on both (a) the thought content itself, and (b) the presentation of that thinking. Excellent presentation cannot salvage poor thinking, but poor presentation can certainly have an adverse impact on the evaluation of otherwise stellar content. Its best to put forth excellence in both substance and style.

As we discover more about how people learn, the application of learning theories also changes. An idea that worked 50, 20, or even 5 years ago might not work currently due to a shift in cultural beliefs, new knowledge, or new learning contexts. Any change in our thinking can impact the way we apply learning theories. Many times differing perspectives can lead to productive discussions and academic debates that further the evolution of the learning theory. Instructions In this assessment, you will explore how the evolution of learning theories and neuroscience has shaped a current learning controversy. Select one of the following learning controversies: Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Theory. Learning Styles. Brain Hemisphere Dominance (Left Versus Right Brain). Research the historical approaches for the learning controversy and how this issue is currently being debated. Looking at this learning controversy through the lens of learning theories and neuroscience, what has changed or been discovered that has led to this debate? Analyze the multiple perspectives of the selected learning controversy. What are the arguments and priorities for this issue? Assess the impact of the selected learning controversy on your area of specialization. Make sure to include the following: Explain how the evolution of learning theories and neuroscience over time has shaped selected learning controversy. Evaluate multiple perspectives to the selected learning controversy. What are arguments and priorities of the proponents and critics of this issue? Assess the implications of this learning controversy on your area of specialization. Additional Requirements Length: 57 pages (not counting your title page or references), double-spaced.

Focus on the application/illustration and do not regurgitate definitions and material from the book. Do not use how to articles (e.g., from consultants, professors, university websites) as you will only restate what is already written and thus fail to demonstrate your proficiency with OB models. Find articles that are journalistic accounts about particular firms or people who can be analyzed according to OB models. Locate articles from the business press (Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, Fortune, Fast Company, etc.). Submit your write-ups via SafeAssignments, not the original articles. The three write-ups are collectively worth 100 points. Application Write-Up #3 Submit Day before Exam 3 Date Apply OB concepts from Textbook Chapters 13, 14, or 16 (or 1-4, 5-7, or 11)

What is the central thesis and argument of the article? 2. What are 10 questions or objections you have about this thesis and argument?

What type of resources and support would you need to make the learning process effective for you? In this assessment, you will describe your ideal learning situation. Instructions Start by identifying a skill or concept that you have always wanted to learn. Which learning theory or theories best support how you would learn this topic? Reflecting on your past learning experiences, how you learn best, and what motivates you, describe the perfect situation for you to learn about your selected topic by using concepts and terminology consistent with the learning theories this course has explored. Compare this with the case study you chose for Assessments 1 and 2. Which components should be tailored to the specific learner? Which components of your learning situation could be applied to a broader population? Evaluate the effectiveness of your learning situation for the case study. After applying your personal learning situation to the case study, think about how the same components might be applied to the broader population you may encounter in your specialized field of psychology, supporting your viewpoint with learning theories. Make sure to include the following in your assessment: Apply learning theory terminology and concepts to describe the learning situation. Justify which learning theory best supports the personal learning situation. Evaluate the role of motivation in this learning situation. Evaluate how effective this learning situation would be with the previous case study and broader population. Differentiate between the components of the learning situation that are specific to the individual and those are more broadly applicable.
