Business 100W Assignment One Fifty Points
ASSIGNMENT I. Email Revision. Due to SafeAssign by noon on April 16th
This first paper will expect the student to revise a poorly written (and, where appropriate, redacted/altered) email, one that was actually recently written within a medium sized company. Students will be expected to apply the skills conveyed through lecture and the assigned texts to revise and rewrite, within a certain set of parameters, the email that is under consideration. Lecture, discussion, UWP writing sessions (mandatory), and the Lanham will be particularly germane to this assignment.
This first assignment is the briefest of the lot and requires no oral presentation.
Context and Scenario: A friend of yours, Miguel, has heard that you are a strong writer, and he seeks your counsel regarding an email he needs to send. Miguel has learned from co-workers like Milton how important clear communication is. Being the generous person you are and are known to be (you have cultivated something of a reputation for this), you have agreed to help your friend Miguel write that email. Miguel explains that he wants to write his supervisor (Lauren Alvarez), a person whom Miguel is about to meet for the first time. Recently hired by Tech-Shield, Lauren is quite excited about her new position and eagerly awaits meeting her team of analysts. While Miguel has not actually met his supervisor, he has a number of recommendations he thinks his supervisor may be interested in. The recommendations are important and could benefit everyone involved, but they are not all equally important.
Decide what ideas you think are most important to include in the letter, keeping in mind that this is a first correspondence between a mid-level analyst and his supervisor. Also, decide which ideas are best to omit. Rely heavily on the Paramedic Method, Sentence Shapes, Voices of Authority, and the Economics of Attention. In other words, consider the Lanham carefully as you reconstruct what you believe to be the most essential parts of the letter. You need not, nor should you, retain all parts of the letter; in other words, use your best judgment -- that is, evaluation -- to cut anything you feel is superfluous for an initial interaction. Heavily editing and revising the remaining portions of the letter is also expected. Finally, frame the letter in an appropriate manner for the context, one that lowers the Lard Factor and articulately delivers the message in a professional way. Remember, first impressions in business are critical, so considerable attention should be paid to tone. These first impressions can make or break deals, and first impressions more often than not are now negotiated through virtual media like e-mail, the format for this assignment.
Create a hard copy of your message, but present it as though it were an email. This first assignment will be formatted as though it were an email, but you should include
your name, your TAʼs name, and the date as a header before you begin the email format. A subject line should be present in the fictional email and should signal the beginning of the email. This assignment (one to two pages) is due by noon on April 16th. While the syllabus stipulates that the assignment must be at least 250 words, you have license to use fewer words if you think you can communicate effectively in a briefer format. What follows below is a first draft of the email Miguel initially jotted down.
Subject Heading for Email: Changes To Be Considered
Dear Boss Lauren,
Thanks for reading this message!
I have heard a great deal about all of yur accomplishments (CFO -- Chief Financial Officer -- of Solar Enterprises and Managing Director of Accounting at Enviro Tech for example) so Iʼm thrilled to be meeting you, and Iʼm looking forward to seeing you because of the many great things Iʼve heard. You are
1) very engaging
2) very quick
3) well informed
I know you want to meet on Monday, January 20th. That day is really bad. I mean really really bad. Iʼm very busy, and Iʼm sure you are to so letʼs bag it. I have a number of reports that are due on the 20th, and I need to fulfill my responsibilities regarding those reports. I really canʼt emphasize how important that material is for me. You may or may not understand because you are just starting at Tech-Shield. Simply put, I can meet on the 22nd, so letʼs make that the date if you are OK with it.
Now, letʼs talk about what is wrong with the company in case you like the recommendation and prior understanding of the problems weʼve had -- and boy, weʼve had some problems! Here is my opinion:
1) We are not paid enough because of all the budget strain and the expenses we incur
2) We never get to wear Hawaiian shirts
3) There is a gender imbalance in the work force
4) Promotions have been based on nepotism
5) The company requires us to work well above fifty (50) hours a week.
6) There is no opportunity for advancement
7) I am frequently asked to work on short notice
8) I am expected to travel every other week (and this everyone thinks is unnecessary)
Ms. Alvarez, your knowledge and expertise are critically important to this company, and many of my co-workers, myself included, hope to benefit under your supervision. I welcome a meeting at your convenience, and, aside from a minor commitment I have on 20 January, I would be excited to discuss your ideas and the direction of the company.
But you already know that. Let me get right to the point. This company, Tech-Shield, has done well -- continues to do well (mostly from all of the extra work me and my co- workers have done). for example, I gave three presentations last quarter -- all around the same time --, and i know my boss at the time (not u of course) didnʼt appreciate them. The reports addressed key aspects of financial corporate liability because the quarterly profits of the company had declined. We discussed a loss of $200,000 and how to improve our performance. The presentation was candid, and we suggested a form of conservation to curb expenses with Tech-Shield by installing auto-sensors for the lights, encouraging ride-sharing programs, and introducing a day care to help address the expectation of longer hours.
These ideas worked like nobodyʼs business. In fact, we not only saved the two hundred thousand dollars lost on productivity (amazing, huh?), we cleared a profit of twenty thousand dollars. We are “da bomb.”
But wait, I have more ideas to address the problems (see numbered problems above). We should stop hiring relatives (like the current CEOʼs nephew) and I think Fridays should be casual days. Scheduling is always a challenge, but perhaps meetings that coordinate travel expectations and additional hours might benefit all and eliminate miscommunication. We could have flex weeks -- something you may not have considered. Instead of fifty hour weeks, we could have employees alternate hours for each week. Some employees who had more time on a particular week could work more hours on that particular week and then work less on the following week. Everybody wins and nobody loses. We could add more employees -- like a lot more employees. We could inform all of the employees about the daycare facilities and promote them.
We already have these facilities, so there would be only a negligible affect on the budget. We could be more efficient by not training people to do new jobs.
I hope you will understand and appreciate all of these ideas. You should put them, or at least some of them, to good use. Iʼm looking forward to meeting you, and I know Tech- Shield will be much stronger with you at the helm.
TTYL,
Miguel Wilkens

Case Study

...1. Executive Summary Raffy Bote was promoted as an assistant product manager of San Miguel corporation for a products he was unfamiliar. Shortly, one of the company’s vice presidents, Butch Abelos, called a meeting to plan marketing strategies. Since Bote’s product manager was unable to attend, the director of marketing Jimmy Guevarra, invited Bote to the meeting to orient him to his new job. Guevarra was rather brief in introducing Bote to Abelos. In the meeting, Abelos asked series of questions that the product managers were able to answer in detail. Suddenly, he turned to Bote and questioned him about his products. Somewhat confused, Bote confessed he did not know the answers. Guevarra was about to offer an explanation about Bote’s situation when suddenly Abelos announced that Bote was such a sloppy staff worker. After an hour, Abelos turned to Guevarra and asked him to remain behind. To Guevarra’s surprise, Abelos himself immediately raised the question of Bote, if he was too tough to the kid. Then Guevarra explained that Bote was just new to his job and don’t know about the products well. After realizing what he have done he immediately called Bote and asked forgiveness for being tough and Bote thank for the apology. 2. Viewpoint 3. Areas of Consideration 4.

...Miguel Santibanez Mrs. Schaff English 12 2/28/14 Misconduct of a professor Professor Laurence Thomas at Syracuse had informed his students that if he caught any one of them texting or any other kind of misconduct; that he would leave the classroom. With that said, one of the students that sat in the front row of the classroom was caught texting. Once the professor saw, he immediately walked out of the classroom without a word said. Later on emailing his students, explaining to some extend why he left as well as leaving some comments that students found controversial. It was wrong of the professor to leave the classroom and cancel classes just because of some small issue. In the professor’s email that he sent to his students, he stated that the student whom sent the text message in class was Cuban. And that two other Latino students that had started playing tic-tac-toe in class the year before. By stating the fact that in both incidents where he has walked out on the class, it has been because of Latino students. This shows that the professor might have a bias feel towards Latino students. Racism is being showed against a certain race; even though he states that he is a “minority scholar himself”. Thomas also says that he is both black and Jewish although he does “not have the Jewish look”. There was no reason for the professor to state that the students are Latinos, unless he has a racial issue towards them. Thomas could have handled the issue in a much different...

Children’s Internet Protection Act, 2000

...The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) is a federal law which was passed by Congress to allocate the offensive content over the Internet. The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) requires that K-12 schools and libraries in the United States use Internet filters and implement other measures to protect children from harmful online content as a condition for the receipt of certain federal funding. It was signed into law on December 21, 2000 and was found to be constitutional by the United States Supreme Court on June 23, 2003. CIPA obligates the schools and all public libraries to require filters on their computers to stop minors from accessing sites that are not appropriate. (Federal Communications Commission, n.d.) The (CIPA) was passed in December 2000. The main purpose of the CIPA is for the protection of children from obscene, child pornography and other dangers of the internet. CIPA does not precisely state what kind of filtering systems to use. This is the third law that Congress has passed to allocate concerns about the children’s access to the inappropriate Internet sites and it is the only one “that the U.S. Supreme Court found constitutionally defensible.” (Minnesota House of Representatives House Research, 2004) Our kids face online predators and other inappropriate things in chat rooms, online games, pictures of teens drinking, drugs, sexual messages, and even false information about them written online before they are eighteen.

Google and Privacy Issues

...[Type the company name] | Google and Privacy Issues | | | Google is the highest used internet search engine and is free for international use. Good and bad exists with everything and although Google provides people all over the world with tons of information, it is constantly being overlooked and controlled by the people who created it and who control it which can be seen as a huge downside for many individuals. There are many critisms of Google such as manipulation of search results, violating people’s privacy and censorship of search results such as page ranking. Although Google provides services that play a large part in many people’s lives for free, it does come at the price of an individual’s personal information and privacy. Google, Facebook and every browser ever created have always gathered data and used that data, but never have these companies created a compilation of personal information based on years of our trusting them. Google has been attempting and has begun to succeed in taking over all of our digital media, from the top used search engine as well as Gmail and Google news which have become the number one news source for many people. People are taking information that they want to hear and Google has been trapping society in a box by finding out our major interests and purely basing everything else off of that rather than incorporating new ideas.
