You have to have read the book White Teeth by Zadie Smith. The prompt is: “No fictions, no myths, no lies, no tangled webs-this is how Irie imagined her homeland. Because homeland is one of the magical fantasy words like unicorn and soul and infinity that have now passed into the language. And the particular magic of homeland, its particular spell over Irie, was that it sounded like a beginning. The beginningest of beginnings.” (332) Choose one main character and discuss his or her conceptualization of homeland. Construct an argument setting forth where your character’s home is. England? Bangladesh? Jamaica? Be crafty. It may be that your character is homeland-less..why?

How Christianity changed over time.

Chapter 19 discusses strategic management and several new views/theories of the firm. One of these theories discusses the importance of strategic leadership. Hambrick was one of the first researchers to put forth the idea that an organization is a “reflection of its top managers”. This indicates the ability of a chief executive (and his/her top management group, known as the managerial elite or upper echelons) to establish the firm’s character, decisions, and direction. Hambrick and his coauthor, Mason, wrote a seminal article in 1984 which discusses the traits of leaders and their influence on decision making for the business. It is an important theory that is still discussed today in relation to the impact of top leaders on their firm’s performance. 1. Take a look at the attached article.View Figure 2 on page 198. Then read pages 198-203 (the Development of Propositions section). You do not have to understand all of the propositions or hypotheses in each section, only read until you have a general understanding of each trait as it would impact the leader’s decision making. 2. Then, think of a leader you know, have personal experience with, OR you can research one. Maybe this leader is YOU! Dissect this individual’s traits as laid out in Hambrick and Mason’s model. Make some arguments as to how those traits impacted their decision making and the subsequent performance of the firm. Discuss at least four specific traits. 3. Create a short PowerPoint with a trait on each slide. Give a brief introduction that describes the leader (you can certainly leave out names) and a brief conclusion that indicates how you feel that their decisions were related to the business’ perfomance. You can either talk about the organization’s performance overall or specific to a certain project. Keep in mind, these are your own perceptions – there are rarely right or wrong answers if you defend them well!

This assessment task requires that you synthesise the understanding of organisational culture and leadership with your theoretical and practical knowledge of Organizational Behaviour in Australian organisations. The focus of this activity is to determine how the practice of Organizational Behaviour must be redesigned and realigned in multiethnic/multicultural contexts to ensure cultural appropriateness and to achieve organisational effectiveness.

Scenario:

Australia has one of the world’s most culturally diverse workforces. Managing different cultural workgroups has ongoing implications on the success of the organisation. However, cultural differences leading to conflicts caused by ineffective communication and increasing moral and ethical degradation at workplaces continue to be issues of growing concern. Furthermore, as the workforce becomes more diverse and multigenerational, labour power may force improvement in the employment relationship and call for different kinds of leaderships. Recently, exploratory studies conducted in Australia have examined the blend of leadership styles/behaviours that different cultural workgroups preferred their managers to exhibit.

Using both literature and publicly available data:

1. Identify and critically analyse and discuss the communication challenges that a leader would expect to encounter in relation to the cultural diversity of many Australian organisations.

2. Critically discuss how leaders can address the ethical issues related to the cultural diversity in many Australian organisations.

3. Identify, synthesise and critically discuss an optimal mix of leadership styles/behaviours which would be aligned with managing culturally diverse workplaces; these should be sufficiently flexible, and able to be appropriately adopted in Australian organisations.

The purpose of the assignment is to build up a specific understanding of managing a multicultural workforce and behavioural practices. This is a multi-strand knowledge gathering research that focuses on critical strategic issues in leadership and employee behaviour.

This assessment assesses the following subject learning objectives:

-be able to critically examine assumptions and propositions of theorising about organisational behaviour in general;

-be able to compare and analyse the strengths and weaknesses of organisational behaviour theories relevant to managers with human resource responsibilities;

-be able to critique and to apply organisational behaviour theories and concepts to case studies and/or issues in their own workplaces;

– and be able to evaluate current organisation practice and to develop strategies that may assist in the understanding and management of employee behaviour.

There are three key themes to be addressed, all in relation to culturally diverse Australian organisations.

1. Identifiy, critically analyse and discuss the communication challenges that a leader would expect to encounter in culturally diverse Australian organisations (Information; Critique; Application).

2. Critically discuss how leaders can confront the ethical issues related to culturally diverse workforces in Australian organisations ( Information; Critique; Application).

3. Identify and critically discuss the appropriate leadership models/styles for managing culturally diverse workplaces in Australian organisations(Information; Critique; Application).

4. Correct use of spelling, puncuation, grammar, syntax, and sematics; well-organised structure; the use of academic style of writing and the correct use of APA6 referencing.

The assignment should be in the form of an academic essay. Use a concise title that reflects the key issues. Use appropriate subheadings to organise the material.

The essay should begin with an Introduction that orientates the reader towards how you are going to approach the material that you intend to cover. It provides a brief overview of the key questions, the logical progression of the argument, and main conclusion/s.

The Discussion section should integrate your research and ideas into key arguments.

4 pages discussing the history of Ireland as well as issues that apply

to America. , e.g., persecution and prejudice, resilency in the face of all this, the motives for coming to the States, the abuse of religious and political power by those in charge [the Brits] in order

to tear down versus build up. Irish roots, the trouble they went through and how they migrated to the states. Also, what problems did they have with the churches here.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes guidelines related to minimum wage, overtime pay, record-keeping, and child labor. Some companies find themselves facing legal challenges when they inappropriately classify employees as exempt or nonexempt for the purpose of overtime payments.

You have discovered that Elora Jean & Co. has classified many of its nonproduction positions as exempt. As the human resources (HR) legal consultant contracted to review all HR policies, you are concerned with legal exposure, union challenges that may result, and poor tracking of hours worked for the purpose of paying overtime. You plan to prepare a presentation for Elora Jean & Co.’s owner, outlining your observations, concerns, and recommendations, keeping in mind the company’s desire to remain competitive while adhering to employment laws.

Components of this presentation will include the following:

• Discuss the key components of the FLSA overtime requirements, focusing specifically on considering the legal distinction between exempt and nonexempt employees.
• Generalize how FLSA will affect Elora Jean & Co.’s ability to classify employees as exempt or nonexempt in relation to the payment of overtime, and determine at what point overtime is paid with regard to hours worked. Research of federal and Indiana state laws is necessary.
• Discuss the implications of improperly paying union staff and not having a defined overtime policy as it relates to labor relations.
• Discuss the legal implications of improper classification.
• Develop a procedure that Elora Jean & Co. can use to equitably manage overtime at its facilities.
• Formulate strategies that you recommend to ensure that Elora Jean & Co. accurately classifies employees as exempt or nonexempt. Discuss the roles that job analysis and job descriptions play in the process.
• Discuss the record-keeping requirements imposed by the FLSA.
• Address legal issues of minimum wage, overtime pay, record keeping, and child labor for the Malaysian facility. Assess possible HR policy differences in the Malaysian operation and how they may affect Elora Jean & Co.’s domestic

In NE V, Aristotle distinguishes many kinds of justice, including distributive and rectificatory justice. He makes the puzzling claim that distributive justice is in accordance with geometrical proportion, and that rectificatory justice is in accordance with arithmetical proportion. First, explain in your own words what you think this claim means. Then say whether you think it is correct, and offer a reason for your view. This assignment requires you to make an argument—either for or against—regarding Aristotle’s claim regarding justice. Take as many words as you need to make the argument.
