MEMORANDUM
To: Supervisor
From: Student
Re: New Client, Career Institute of America, Inc. (CIA)
Date: December 6, 20—
FACTS: We have just met a new client, the CEO of Career
Institute of America, Inc. (CIA). Although the business was
formed a year ago as a nonprofit corporation, they’re not sure they’re happy being a nonprofit.
CIA is a classroom and online education organization that specializes in training students in the United States auto industry, one of this country’s largest industries. Their founder, who also serves as the CEO of CIA, would like to retain most of the ownership and control of the company,
since it is really his enterprise. He also has some concerns about the independent contractor agreement their instructors must sign when they agree to work for the company. He wants to be sure they’re not construed as employees of the company and are viewed as true independent contractors. Note that most of the company’s income is from online training courses. You should also know that they received a U.S.Department of Labor retraining grant for the instruction they’re currently providing and that this type of grant is awarded only to nonprofit educational organizations. Even though CIA was able to obtain this grant as a nonprofit institution, they realize it was a one-time grant. They must make their income from tuition for online courses and in the two small classrooms in which they teach traditional courses. This is why they’re not
necessarily opposed to changing their form of business from a nonprofit organization to a for-profit business.
You should further know that the employment contract they provide to their instructors looks as if it was designed by an amateur and may not comply with the legal requirements for a valid independent contractor agreement.
RESEARCH ASSIGNMENT: Research two areas of law and prepare a memorandum addressing each area, so the client can be properly advised how to proceed. First, determine the
limitations of a nonprofit corporation in the state of Delaware, the state in which CIA was formed and is doing business. You should also review the law for nonprofit and for-profit corporations, as well as limited liability companies, to determine the best form of business for the client.
Consult the listing of Delaware statutes on the Delaware state
Web site at http://www.state.de.us/corp/DElaw.shtml to
assist you in your research. For more general information concerning nonprofit corporations,
for-profit corporations, and limited liability companies, the following are additional Web sites that can assist you:
http://www.law.cornell.edu
http://www.freeadvice.com
http://www.findlaw.com
http://www.nolo.com/lawcenter
http://www.hg.org
Combine this information with what you know about business
organizations and what the client wants, so you can recommend the best form of business organization for CIA at this time.
The second issue concerns the contract that CIA has its instructors sign. (The instructors teach the programs and grade the student’s papers.) You’ll need to review the law dealing with
employment and independent contractor agreements to determine what the contract needs to include to be properly viewed as an independent contractor agreement and not an employment agreement.
Research employment and independent contractor agreements online. A general search using these terms in the Web sites listed above or even on Google, Bing, or any other search
engine should assist you in finding the law dealing with these types of agreements. Since the agreements will be signed by our client’s instructors located in each state we want to use
the general law dealing with such agreements. In your memorandum,
please be sure to identify each of the key elements necessary for the agreement to be viewed as an independent contractor agreement and not an employment agreement, as well as any other suggestions you might have for the client in connection with their instructor contracts.
Here are some helpful hints:
Remember that the project requires that you use the memo
format provided and that you research both issues requested: the most appropriate form of business organization to meet the client’s needs and the requirements for an agent to be deemed an independent contrator and not an employee. You should first locate the law for each of the two issues. Then, you need to analyze the information you found and apply it to the needs of the client. Both your research and your analysis should then be summarized and included in your memo.

 

WRTG 394 Paper


CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THIS ANSWER  INSTANTLY $18.50 Only

 

WRTG 394

Your last writing assignment will be a report to a decision-maker on a problem and solution in an organization or community.

In the report, you will do the following:

 define the problem persuasively and accurately

 propose a solution or solutions to the problem or issue

 present that solution to a decision-maker or group of decision-makers who can implement the recommendation.

The report will include the following components:

 executive summary

 letter to the decision-maker

 table of contents

 introduction

 body of the report to include headings and subheadings

 conclusion stated as a recommendation for implementation of the solution

 References page, with references listed in APA format

Instructions on how to list an interview in APA format can be seen at the following url: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/11/

The complete report should be 2200-3000 words, not including the list of references.

The complete report should also cite at least seven sources. At least three of them should

come from peer-reviewed, scholarly journals. As noted above, your sources can also include interviews. The sources will be integrated into the paper to explain the problem, provide evidence of the problem, and support the solution.

You might have taken WRTG 393 at UMUC. In WRTG 393, the final paper is a white paper.

This assignment is different from the white paper in WRTG 393.  In this paper for WRTG 394, you are writing to a specific decision-maker about a specific problem in your workplace or community.  The audience is much more focused than that for the white paper in WRTG 393.

Defining the Specific Problem

 

In preparing to write this assignment, please be aware of the following cautions in fulfilling the assignment instructions:

 If you write a report to your manager at work suggesting that more teleworking options be given to employees at your workplace, you cannot simply prepare a report on teleworking.  You must show that teleworking will solve a specific problem or problems

in your organization.

 If you are proposing that email be used less frequently for communication at your workplace and that another application be used to improve communication, you cannot simply write a report on the problem with having too much email.  You must show that the use of email at your current workplace presents problems and that the use of another means of communication would solve the problem.

 If you write a report to your manager at work suggesting that your office become paperless, you cannot simply prepare a report on the benefits of a paperless office.  You must show that your specific office can go paperless and indicate the benefits of your specific office going paperless.

 If you write a report to the board of directors at your townhouse community to argue that the playground area in your community should be renovated, you cannot simply prepare a report on the benefits of a playground for a neighborhood.  You must show that your specific neighborhood will benefit from renovations in its playground.

 If you write a report to the manager of your unit at work noting that recycling facilities in the workplace should be improved, you cannot simply prepare a report on the benefits of recycling or of good recycling facilities in offices.  You must show that your specific

work environment lacks adequate recycling facilities and show how it will benefit from

improved recycling facilities.

A Reminder about the Role of Primary Research in Supporting the Argument

For your report, you will very likely find it beneficial to conduct some primary research.  For writing assignment #3, you gathered some primary research.  For writing assignment #4, you want to fill in any gaps needed by conducting additional primary research if necessary.  Some suggestions for primary research were given in the instructions for writing assignment #3.  They are as follows:

 For a report on teleworking, you might conduct interviews with fellow workers on the topic to see how and why they might benefit from teleworking.

 If you are proposing that email be used less frequently for communication and that another application be used to improve communication, you might interview fellow employees on the situation, and you might take screen captures of alternative communication tools to illustrate how they work and would improve communication in your office.

 For a report on transitioning to a paperless office, you might take pictures of your office environment showing the clutter or unsafe environment that hard-copy files create.

 For a report on building a playground area in the community, you might take pictures of the community area to show where such a playground could be built, and you might interview residents who have children.

 For a report on recycling facilities, you might take pictures of the office environment to show that current recycling facilities are inadequate, and you might interview fellow workers about whether they find it easy to recycle materials at your office.

Please note that, if you interview people for your research, you must cite the interviews in your paper.  In the paper, you cannot simply write that you “spoke with employees.”  A url on how to cite an interview in APA citation style is provided in the list of components for the report.

Length of your paper:

Your report should be 2200-3000 words in length.  Again, you are required to use at least seven sources, with at least three of them being acquired through UMUC Library OneSearch.

Graphics:

Your report might benefit from graphics.  As mentioned above, pictures of your workplace or community situation might help illustrate the problem you are trying to address.  Graphs, tables, or charts might help show trends that will persuade your decision-maker that the problem exists.

 

Please do not incorporate a graphic for the sake of incorporating a graphic.  Include a graphic only if it helps communicate a message in your report.

Your instructor will notify you of the due date.  You will write a first draft, your instructor will comment on the first draft, and you will submit a second draft using the comments as your guide.

Please note that your final paper in WRTG 394 is a research-based report.  The work you do for this first writing assignment might lead to an excellent topic on which to write your final paper.

Overview:

For this assignment, you are asked to collect real-life examples of barriers (inhibitors) to

communication that occur in your work or community environment. The examples of

communication barriers that you collect can be from documents, conversations (face-to-face or digital), email messages, or meetings.

This assignment consists of four parts:

Part I:

Think about your work or community and come up with 3-4 real-life examples of barriers

(inhibitors) to written and verbal communication that occur in that environment. The

communication examples you come up with can be from documents, conversations (face-to-face or digital), emails, or meetings.

Then write one or two detailed paragraphs of 100-125 words each in which you describe the following:

 your workplace or community setting you have chosen to analyze

 the communication barriers in that setting that you are describing

 other details you think might be relevant to the context

Various types of communication inhibitors, and examples of them, can be found in the four articles that are available to you through eReserves.  These communication barriers include but are not limited to the following:

connotative meanings of words organizational barriers

personal censors and filters nonverbal barriers

noise (real and semantic) competitive barriers

audience expectations lack of writing purpose, organization, support or clarity

communication structure (or lack of) artificial voice

direction of communication forced collaboration

physical barriers faulty level of technicality

cultural barriers faulty level of formality

experiential barriers faulty direction

perceptual barriers poor timing

motivational barriers excessive subjectivity

emotional barriers linguistic barriers

Part II:

After you've collected at least 3-4 communication barriers and have identified the inhibitors they represent, define the inhibitors in a bulleted list. The definition you provide should identify the general characteristics of the inhibitor and how it works to impede communication. The definitions should not mention your specific work environment. Please consult the video on this assignment and the two sample student submissions to this assignment in order to see a demonstration on how this part might be written.

Part III:

Analyze these 3-4 communication inhibitors as they apply to your workplace or community environment.  List them in a table with three columns:

 the communication example either as a direct quote or paraphrase

 the name of the inhibitor(s) at work in the sample

 a justification of your selection of the inhibitor(s)

Again, please consult the video on this assignment and the two sample student submissions to this assignment in order to see a demonstration on how this part might be written.

Part IV:

 

using a scale of 1 to 100 (with a score of 75 considered average), rank your organization's communication effectiveness. Justify and explain the score you award.  Your justification should be one to two paragraphs, about 175-250 words total.

Please continue to the next page for additional instructions.

QNT 561

This week, our team analyzed data gathered for hospitals operating in the United States.  Data was collected from 200 different hospitals, and that data includes geographic region, personnel numbers, census, the number of births that occurred, type of hospital (denoted ‘service’), and type of ownership (denoted ‘control’).  In this paper, we will examine our analysis of the data provided to identify potential trends, correlations, and outliers.  The project has been broken down into four sections; preliminary analysis, descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, and our conclusions.  An Excel spreadsheet has been attached which includes all formulas and calculations performed that support our results and conclusions.

Part I

What are the question you are trying to address?

What is the sample?

Part II

Descriptive statistics were used to further evaluate our given data.  Refer to the attached Excel sheet for a full analytical report of descriptive statistics including mean, median, mode, range, standard deviation, variance, skewness, minimum, 1st quartile, median, 3rd quartile, maximum, sum, count, CV, outlier upper and lower bound, and more.  These calculations provide a basic picture of each of the three measured data sets; census, births, and personnel.

Part III

The qualitative data contains some relevant data about the population of hospitals. The general medical facilities make up most of the healthcare entities in the sampling accounting for 84% of the organizations.

Part IV

Part 4 - Conclusion and Recommendations (1-2 paragraphs)

Include the following:

What are your conclusions?
What do you infer from the statistical analysis?
State the interpretations in non-technical terms. What information might lead to a different conclusion?
Are there any variables missing?
What additional information would be valuable to help draw a more certain conclusion?

WRTG 394

Your next writing assignment will be a background review and synthesis of the literature for the topic of your research-based report.

This assignment is designed to help you prepare for the final paper in WRTG 394. Keep in mind that your final paper in WRTG 394 will be a report in which you do the following:

 define a problem in your workplace or community persuasively and accurately

 propose a solution or solutions to the problem or issue

Steps to Take in Completing this Assignment:

 

 Locate at least seven articles on your topic.  At least four articles should come from

scholarly journals or credible trade journals.  You should use OneSearch through

UMUC’s Library and Information Services or individual databases through the library for

your research.

 Take notes, perhaps by applying the skills from your annotated bibliography exercise, on each article.

 Write a synthesis of the articles.  The synthesis will be 1000-1400 words.

In your synthesis, you will group the themes of the articles.  For example, if you have collected seven articles on the topic of paperless offices, you might find that three major themes emerge from your perusing of the seven articles:

o common reasons for resisting the move to a paperless office

o costs of transitioning to a paperless office

o benefits of transitioning to a paperless office

Examples of Topics and the Role of this Assignment:

You might write a report on any one of the following topics.  Please note that these are examples of topics.  You might not choose any of them.  They are provided here to help illustrate this assignment.

 

 a report to your manager at work suggesting that more teleworking options be given to employees at your workplace

 a report to your supervisor at work suggesting that email be used less frequently for communication and that another application be used to improve communication.

 a report to your manager at work suggesting that your office become paperless

 a report to the board of directors at your townhouse community to argue that the

playground area in your community should be renovated

 a report to the manager of your unit at work noting that recycling facilities in the workplace should be improved

In any report of this nature, some background research is necessary.  For example, consider the following strategies when collecting background research for the topics mentioned above:

 For a report to your manager at work suggesting that more teleworking options be given to employees at your workplace, some research studies on teleworking would be very persuasive.

 For a report to your supervisor at work suggesting that email be used less frequently for communication and that another application be used to improve communicatio n, some scholarly literature or articles from credible trade journals on transitioning to alternative electronic communication would be beneficial.  In addition, articles that demonstrate the problems with email communication would add to the argument.

 For a report to your manager at work suggesting that your office become paperless, some scholarly literature on paperless offices would be effective.

 For a report to the board of directors at your townhouse community to argue that the playground area in your community should be renovated, some scholarly articles or trade journal articles on the benefits of playground areas for communities, the benefits of exercise for young children, the effect of such playground areas on home values, etc. would be effective.

 For a report to the manager of your unit at work arguing that recycling facilities in the workplace should be improved, some scholarly articles or studies on the challenges of and benefits to implementing recycling facilities in organizations would be persuasive.

Of course, there are varieties of recycling programs.  The articles you find would help define what type of recycling program you would propose.

Length of your paper:

As noted above, your background review of the literature on your topic should be 1000-1400 words in length.

The sources should be cited throughout the paper in APA format and listed in a References page at the end of the paper in APA format.

Your instructor will notify you of the due date.  You will write a first draft, your instructor will comment on the first draft, and you will submit a second draft using the comments as your guide.

You will find that your synthesis will be a helpful component of your final research-based report.

In fact, if your synthesis is well written, you might be able to take whole parts of it and copy it into the final report.  In any case, the skills and strategies you gain from writing the background review and synthesis of literature will be very valuable in writing your final research-based report.
