Consider a publicly listed company whose business performance has been criticised publicly
and, using its annual report, reference documents about the company (e.g. analysts’ reports,
in-depth interviews and articles, documents on company’s website) and write a report about
its governance protocols and practices. (This could include independence of directors, length
of tenure of directors, other responsibilities of directors, etc.).
Whichever option you choose your report should include:
• A brief description of the organisation and its background/industry. This description
should be a short section only.
• An outline of the bases or criteria for the review of the organisation’s governance. For
example, mention which standards or guiding principles are relevant for the review,
discuss their importance and why it is appropriate for you to use them.
• A critical review of the organisation’s governance applying the relevant concepts,
principles, standards or other tools and techniques learnt during this subject, in
accordance with your discussion above.
• A list of recommendations for suggested improvement based on your review. The
recommendations should only be a short section in the overall report.

Write a cohesive and scholarly response based on your reading and research this week that addresses the following:

In examining a performance management process, what are an employee’s role and responsibilities in working collaboratively with his or her direct supervisor to develop short- and long-term objectives in the plan?

The report should contain the results of your literature research on the definition of Corporate Social Responsibility and what that means to a company in establishing policies regarding the workplace, environment, marketplace, community and company values.

Scenario: You are the project manager responsible for a new building construction in northern Virginia. The building is worth $500,000 and will have five bedrooms, a kitchen, landscaping, and a two-car garage to be completed in two years. This was agreed upon in a firm fixed contract. During the execution (construction) of the building, you realize that the cost of materials have gone up by 10%, and your schedule is behind by 90 days due to delays from county inspections and permit processes. You also notice that if you continue with the current cost rate and schedule rate that the total cost to complete this house would be $600,000 and delivered three months late.
Submit a three-page report explaining the reasons for these variances from your original project management plan and the proposed steps on how you are going to control the cost and schedule to achieve the contract threshold of $500,000 to be delivered in two years. Your plan must include the following:
 Address identifications of impacted activities with their cost and schedule attributes, remembering to account for contingencies.
Address explanations of the roles your project management team will play during the execution of your project management plan and how they will help you to control the issues that are arising during the project.
 At the end of your essay, add a separate section entitled, “Reflections on My Learning.” In this stand-alone section, summarize what you have learned in doing the research, reading the textbook, and reading the written lessons in regard to project management and how it impacted your decisions in this essay.
Refer to the execution and control process relating to project-based management. Use 2 sources to support your ideas, thoughts, and theories. Use APA format to document your sources in-text and in your “References” list at the end of the essay.

INTRODUCTION:
In Workshop 2 you looked at survey administration, either collecting data yourselves or attempting to communicate to the client issues regarding data collection. In Workshop 3 you will use outputs derived from the survey to undertake a travel behavior analysis.
The overall goals of disaggregate analysis are understanding the determinants of travel and designing effective transport policies. To achieve these goals we need to study travel-activity patterns and the context within which travel decisions are made.
This workshop asks you to write an analysis report for data collected from Workshop 2 and provide policy implications for promoting active and public transport modes in commuting for employees and students of the university. Remember, the client wants to know how our employees and students are arriving at university, how long it takes, what changes would motivate them to shift to active or public transport modes
