...Proposals and Research Nashira Wiggins American Intercontinental University Abstract What are the differences between formal research and a business proposal? What are the similarities? This paper will compare and contrast the theoretical and practical differences between formal research and a business proposal. The second part of this paper will explore the effects of human resources outsourcing on leadership performance and employee commitment. This paper will show that human resources outsourcing has a negative effect on employees and their morale. Part 1 Formal research provides basic information and statistics in a given field or industry depending on the focus of the research. Formal research may be used to research the demand for a specific product or service by researching similar products or services that are already on the market. Included in this research would be the general sales rate, the companies that market these products or services, and the current sale price. Research will reveal whether the market for the product is flooded or if it is indeed a good business opportunity. A business proposal is a document that proposes a method for completing a task. A business proposal can be used for launching a new product or for something like implementing a new strategy for a marketing campaign. “A proposal includes a brief description for the task at hand, a section describing the general approach to the task, a schedule for the task in question and a budget...

...E227 Global Solutions Going Green Formal Proposal DeVry University Professor Audra Spicer Professional Writing Shane’e Green April 21, 2016 * Introduction As we look at every day and the temperatures are extremely high I notice that the natural beauty is slowly disappearing right in front of our eyes. We have to realize that if we don’t actively try to make our environment brighter and cleaner not only for ourselves but for our children as well. A cleaner way of living is a way to provide a healthier, brighter and cleaner long term future for ourselves, for our children and their children. E227 Global Solutions has decided that we need to reduce our carbon foot print by 25% in the upcoming year in an effort to help our fellow human race. Also this will lead E227 Global Solutions to become one of the leaders in the industry that will use the three methods of solar energy to reduce electricity, paper/waste reduction, and focusing on green power. All of the money that we will be able to save because of the decrease in the energy can be used to fund future environmental safe projects or initiatives. It also allows E227 Global Solutions to possibly invest that money into hiring the additional employees who can come aboard and expand the E227 Global Solutions going green initiatives as well. *...

...Date: June 17, 2015 Dear Ms. Anne Brown, INTRODUCTION: E227 Global Solutions has long talked about going green, but up until now, we have not made any major efforts toward reducing the company’s carbon footprint globally. We have recently made successful localized initiatives to help reduce energy consumption, reduce or eliminate chemical byproducts, and minimize our office waste. However, even with these recent changes, there is so much more that we can do! BACKGROUND: The world’s population is rapidly growing, and unless we make the decision to take better care of Mother Nature, we are going to slowly self-destruct over time. REASON FOR THIS PROPOSAL: With your help, E227 Global Solutions can make a big difference in by reducing the amount that we waste and consume by 25% in the next year. Recognizing that great ideas come from all levels of the company, E227GS is challenging you, its employees, to generate ideas for going green and achieving, and possibly exceeding, the goal of reducing our carbon footprint. COST: We realize that you, as well as the rest of the Upper Management Team are concerned about what the cost is of going green. Ultimately, it is a practice that will eventually pay for itself. CONCLUSION: Sincerely, Concerned Employees of E227GS h about the one recommended strategy. For your research...

...Francisco, CA 94132 March 14, 2016 Lucenda De Leon San Francisco State University 423 Orizaba Avenue San Francisco, CA 94132 Subject: Proposal for researching FIFA controversy Context The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) is the governing body of soccer, futsal, and beach football. They are responsible for the organization of soccer’s major international tournaments, notably the World Cup. It was founded in 1904 in order to oversee international competition among many national associations of many European countries. Its headquarters are located in Zürich, Germany and its current president is Gianni Infantino. FIFA does not control the official rules of soccer, but it is responsible for the administration and promotion of a myriad of tournaments which generate revenue from sponsorships. FIFA has had substantially high revenues since 2013 of over a billion dollars and net profits reaching over $70 million, along with over a billion dollars in cash reserves. Since FIFA is such a powerful association and is responsible for providing the world’s most watched sporting event, it has been linked with corruption, bribery, and alleged vote-rigging. Such corruption has brought about the questioning of former FIFA Presidet, Sepp Blatter and the awarded 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar. Purpose This Formal Report is meant to shed light on the operations and hidden decision making that connects FIFA with the aforementioned allegations. Soccer...

...better after the fact. Aggressive communicators have a selfish approach to interaction, generally having little regard for the opinions or feelings of others. They use criticism and ridicule and achieve goals at the expense of others. They tend to blame anyone but themselves for things that don't suit them.

...The opening sections of these novels differ greatly because of a number of factors about the story and the books production in general. The start of the Lady in the Lake uses very simple lexis 'I went past him through an arcade' and also chatty language is used. ' You might say I'm from Lieutenant M'Gee ' This shows that this is an informal text. This conincides with the attitudes to formality in the era that the book is set (1940's) The lexis is also foreign which gives us the nationality of the character and the intial setting of the story ' The sidewalk in front of it'. The Woman in White differs from this by having much more complex and archeic lexis 'The quiet twilight was still trembling on the topmost ridges of the heath'. This gives us the setting which in this case is Victorian England, a time when formaility and social class were very important. This contrasts with the much more informal Lady in the Lake. Phonological features are present in the Lady in the Lake 'Cream of the crop'. This shows that the text has been crafted and therefore to entertain readers. The Woman in White has a lot more phonological features, some however flow in a single sentance which makes it seem almost poetic ' seemed to be sinking in unison, languidly and more languidly, with the sinking sun'. This text has definately been much more finely crafted which paints a fine mental picture of the sceneary and of the feelings and emotions of the idividual in this section. Graphology is greatly...

...departments- limited information network; centralization – decision making is concentrated at the top of the organization; chain of command – few subordinates reporting to one supervisor; specialization – dividing work to be done in very small parts. On the other hand, the organic or amorphous boundary less model is a structure that is flat and uses cross-hierarchical and cross-functional teams – communication and interaction are free flowing; low formalization – less written rules; possesses a comprehensive information network – communication is done via electronic mail; wide spans of control – many subordinates report to one supervisor; low specialization – knowledge resides where it is most useful; decentralization – great deal of formal and informal participation in decision-making. In assessing my organization which is a government secondary school, I would characterize my organization as organic. Within the secondary institution, teachers lecture according to specialized subject areas. The plant is managed by the Principal who receives directives from his/her immediate supervisors within the Ministry of Education; assisted by the Deputy Principal. There is a clear chain of command as to the flow of information within the organization as it relates to...

...Formal and Informal Networks Within the System Kara Cook-Tate Walden University There are so many resources available for the human service worker and their clients. Having the knowledge about these resources is the determining factor of whether it’s going to make you or break you. You have to have set goals in mind. Dedicate the time it takes to research and network. Figure out what will and won’t work for each individual client. Some of the resources available will work for some but not necessarily for everyone. As I read through Chapter 8 in our text, I started to finally see a much bigger picture than what I was expecting. I know the job is going to be difficult within itself, but that’s exactly what I’m hoping for. When I’m not really interested in something, I get bored and lazy and start to procrastinate and not give it my all. School is a prime example. It’s tedious and I loathe it. I achieve the minimum just to get by. With this job, there are so many avenues to explore and discover. I’m also a busy body and love to stick my nose in other peoples’ business. This is why this is the perfect job for me. According to the CASA case study there are a lot of formal networks being utilized. Since CASA is a non-profit agency, let’s take a look at the top of the list for the formal networks. The agency has to get its funding from somewhere. So where should we turn to for that? There is state or federal funding, and then charity as in donations, fund-raising...

...The Art of Writing Business Letters Write letter in a manner such as to secure the respect and consideration of the person with whom you correspond. The rules for the mechanical execution of a letter are few; understanding and observing the rules already considered for composition, the writer has only to study perfect naturalness of expression, to write a letter well. [pic][pic] Variously missing from their letters are headings, dates, inside addresses, salutations and complimentary closings. And the forms are disheveled. Frankly, in terms of form, often I am unable to distinguish any discernible differences between letters written by students, their teachers and by many other professionals. Apparently, for many, the art of writing a standard business letter has been lost. What are considered essential elements for a standard business letter. Know the format. Whatever the content of your letter, visually it should resemble the picture below. Note that business letters are composed in common fonts such as Arial or Times New Roman, and that they are justified to the left. Most employ block paragraphing - i.e., to start a new paragraph, hit "return" twice and don't use an indent. [pic] [pic] Letterhead. Include the sender's company and the company address; if you're self-employed or an independent contractor, add your name either in place of the company name or on top of it. If your company has pre-designed letterhead, use this; otherwise, simply typing the...

...CULTURE Talking about the work culture of the FMCG sector is that the culture is dynamic which is something hard to develop and easy to lose. Five organizations namely Hindustan Liver, Colgate, Palmolive,P&G,Nestle and Britannia is often stratified as having a good culture. The mode of communication is informal and in fact the dress code is also informal for work and formal for meetings. If we talk about the weak points of the sector, then probably it would be the work load that the employees have to bear with in terms of the work pressure, timings, regular performance and the exhaustive field work and the excess work pressure at times results in creating a lot of stress for the people,but as they say there is no substitute for hard work. Talking about the general insight is that people value colleagues as individuals and believe in maintaining relationships with each other. The important aspects of the FMCG Sector culture are: 1. The way an employee approaches his office every morning 2. The kind of relationships developed amongst employees 3. The level of performance from each of the employees Talking about HUL as an organization: High ethical standards in terms of people and environment are maintained Informal behavior and dressing is functional Equal opportunities are given The basic underlying Moto is: “Doing well by doing good” P&G They have flexible working hours so it is basically performance oriented.

...the student will explain the differences between groups and teams, examine the importance of workplace diversity in an organization, and how it relates to team dynamics in the workplace. A work group is a collection of people working in similar areas and placed together to complete a task. Groups performance is the outcome of people coming together to share information views and insights. Members of groups have a mutual purpose. As members gather together, each brings a different personal perspective and style to the table. As the members share information, they begin the decision-making processes that help each member perform his or her particular responsibility. The two main types of groups are formal groups and informal groups. A formal group is designed around an organizations formal structure. An informal group is not structured and is normally formed out of a social need (Schermerhorn Jr, Hunt, & Osborn, 2008). (Good ) Teams are groups, but teams are a distinct separation of groups. A team is a reduced number of people with corresponding skills and committed to a common purpose, a set of performance goals and an approach for which they hold themselves accountable. (Good) Teams start out as groups; (Always???) they share some of the same beginning aspects of the group then evolve into something different. Teams can have high performance if the members have the right mix of skills. Teams with members who have excellent technical, problem-solving, decision-making, and interpersonal...

...Influencing Group Communication Your name XBCOM/230 University of Phoenix Influencing Group Communication In any organization today, one will be able to see the five basis of power at work. Some of these powers will be evident in some individuals and it may take longer to see them in other within the organization. The five basis of power that we will discuss are, coercive, reward, legitimate, expert, and referent. These five basis of power are broken down into two separate groups, one being formal and the other being informal. The formal group will consist of three of the five basis of power and they are: coercive, reward and legitimate. Obvious this leaves expert and referent as the two that will be referred to as the informal basis of power. After taking the time to look into and study each individual basis of power, I feel that the informal basis of power would be the most efficient way of leading. The three formal basis of power being coercive, reward and legitimate are the powers that I will begin to discuss. Although most people tend to have some sort of fear towards their supervisor, it takes a turn for the worst when you have a supervisor that uses coercive power on any worker. Coercive power or authority is the utilization of fear to get an employee to do what the supervisor is asking. In this day and time, with jobs being harder and harder to come by, supervisor will use the fear of an employee losing their job to the supervisor’s advantage. Both employee and...
