McGee Carpet and Trim installs carpets in commercial offices. Andrea McGee has been very concerned with the amount of time it took to complete several recent jobs. Some of her workers are very unreliable. A list of activities and their optimistic completion time, the most likely completion time, and the pessimistic completion time (all in days) for a new contract are provided in a given table. Following are the activities that are required to install the carpets in the offices:

• Activity 1: Measure office room dimensions
• Activity 2: Estimate cost
• Activity 3: Material requisition
• Activity 4: Workforce requisition
• Activity 5: Special tool requisition
• Activity 6: Installation
• Activity 7: Inspection and customer acceptance

Activity 2 starts immediately after Activity 1. Activity 3, Activity 4, and Activity 5 start concurrently after Activity 2. Activity 6 does not start until after Activity 3, Activity 4, and Activity 5 are completed. The carpet installation project is complete after Activity 7 is completed. If OT = Optimistic Time, MT = Most Likely Time, and PT = Pessimistic Time, use a Program Evaluation Review Estimate (PERT) to compute the statistical time for each activity, as in the following table:

Ethical Dilemmas

Introduction and Alignment

As you saw in the last workshop, leaders cast light when they master the ethical challenges of leadership. They cast shadows when they abuse power, hoard privileges, mismanage information, act inconsistently, misplace or betray loyalties, or fail to assume responsibilities. This assignment will help you examine your perceptions regarding the ethical dilemmas faced by leaders and examine some light-casting qualities depicted by ethical leaders.

Upon completion of this assignment, you should be able to:

• Identify ethical leadership dilemmas that effect managerial decision making.

Resources

• Bible
• Textbook: Meeting the Ethical Challenges of Leadership
• Textbook: Essentials of Business Ethics
• File: Chapter 3.ppt

Background Information

In 2 Peter 1:5-7, you get an in-depth list of indicators of Christian character. These indicators include diligence, moral excellence, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. Looking at the list in context will provide a much different perspective, so make sure to do so by reading the 2 Peter verses in your Bible.

Surely you have exhibited many of those indicators at some point, but are you demonstrating them regularly, in all instances, to all people? This exercise will show that many ethical dilemmas arise from character failures in leadership.

Instructions

1. Download and review the PowerPoint presentation, Chapter 3.ppt.
2. Review Chapter 1 and read Chapter 3 of Meeting the Ethical Challenges of Leadership and Chapter 1 of Essentials of Business Ethics. As you read, think about any ethical challenges you may have had in your past.
3. Using the resources of the Off Campus Library Service (OCLS), conduct a search for three articles discussing ethical dilemmas faced by leaders. These dilemmas may be the result of leadership traits or they may arise from a conflict in values (e.g., loyalty to employees versus responsibility to protect the environment).
   1. At least two of these articles must be from peer-reviewed sources.
   2. Each article must deal with a different leader ethical dilemma.
4. Write a 600- to 800-word research paper in which you:
   1. Identify the types of ethical challenges discussed in the three articles. Determine which type of shadow, as described in Chapter 1 of Meeting the Ethical Challenges of Leadership, best describes each ethical challenge. Provide a detailed evaluation that demonstrates clear, insightful critical thinking.
   2. Evaluate the ethical challenges of the three articles using the five biblical business ethics principles discussed in this workshop. Which biblical principle, if any, does each ethical challenge violate? Provide a detailed evaluation that demonstrates clear, insightful critical thinking.
5. Use proper spelling, grammar, and APA formatting for your research paper. (Note: cover pages, academic sources, reference pages, etc. do not count towards the word length requirement in your paper.)
6. When you have completed your assignment, save a copy for yourself and submit a copy to your instructor using the Dropbox by the end of the workshop (Turnitin will be enabled).

This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a written paper and a PowerPoint presentation. You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment it is written for.
Health Information Technology (HIT) is a growing field within health services organizations today; additionally, health information security is a major concern among health organizations, as they are required to maintain the security and privacy of health information.

Hi, Can you create an audio only presentation for me. It only need to be 5-6 minutes long and is rather easy to do it might take you about 30 minutes – 2 hours depending on your speed. I am going to send the instructions as well as the grading rubric so you can get a good idea of how long it will take you and what your price is. Ill need it by Thursday night. You can also make the recording with your own voice its an online class so the teacher doesn’t know my own personal voice and its audio and slides only no visual recordings.

For Israel, Use this scenario to construct your presentation:

It is your third week working as a certified public health nutritionist or WHO. You are preparing for your extended site visit to a country that you know very little about. To help you prepare, your manager has asked you to give a presentation on the country to your coworkers. In this presentation you will analyze the eating habits and food culture of that country. You will also analyze the most prevalent health issues and illnesses in this country. Formulate some preliminary thoughts on possible connections between diet/nutrition and health issue/illness. Has globalization introduced significant changes in this country’s dietary profile that have possibly led to the increased incidence of certain diseases?

Make sure you address all of these points in your presentation.

1. Analyze the eating style and food culture in that country.
2. Analyze the most prevalent health issue/ illness in this country.
3. Analyze possible connections between diet/nutrition and health issue/illness.
4. Analyze if globalization introduced significant changes in this country’s dietary profile that have possibly led to the increased incidence of certain diseases.
5. Include your suggestions for solutions from a public health nutritional perspective.
6. Place references on the last slide.

Tools for creating your audio presentation

Select a Tool to Use

In week 6, you will prepare a presentation that has audio. You may use any tool that allows you to combine text (such as slides) with audio. Some suggestions are:

1. PowerPoint: Create your slides and then use the Insert Audio feature in PowerPoint.
2. PowerPoint: Create your slides and then use a separate screencasting tool that will record whatever’s on your desktop along with your audio and/or video. One to try is screencastomatic.com (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
3. Want to try out a fun, new free tool? Check out Adobe Spark (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

Uploading or Sharing Your Presentation

You should be able to upload your presentation file or a link to it in Canvas.

• Trouble uploading a video to Canvas? If so, upload it to YouTube and submit your video link. Make sure the link you submit is the final link and can be accessed by someone else. Make sure you don’t send your link in “edit” form (e.g., it says “edit” in the URL).
• Sometimes videos are large files and take awhile to upload. Give yourself plenty of time to submit the assignment. For example, doing this one hour before the due date will most likely not be enough time. And if you are not tech savvy, give yourself plenty of time to find a new way to upload your video.
