Discussion Rubric
Your active participation in the discussion forums is essential to your overall success this term. Discussion questions are designed to help you make meaningful connections between the course content and the larger concepts and goals of the course. These discussions offer you the opportunity to express your own thoughts, ask questions for clarification, and gain insight from your classmates’ responses and instructor’s guidance.
In responding to at least two of your peers, provide constructive peer review featuring a detailed discussion of the strengths of the paper as well as areas that could be improved. Ask questions designed to help your peers reflect upon their recommendations and deepen their analyses and support. Keep the tone of your comments positive and constructive, and review the Recommendations section of the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric document before beginning your review to help guide your response.
The previous paper wrote about “government action on Starbucks inc.” part, my prof’s comment: wants me to focus on three part: Immigration, Minimum wage(State and Federal’s minium wage impact on business), tariffs on coffee imports.
For Detailing question:
I. Recommendations: After submitting your analysis memorandum, your CEO has decided that your business needs the additional resources that Jack Harris and his firm Crisis Consulting can provide. Time is of the essence, and so Jack has called a meeting of the team that will work on this project next week. While Jack is familiar with your business, due to your overview, the rest of his team is not. Your CEO has asked you to provide a memorandum to Jack that he can distribute to his team that will be assisting your business. Do not assume that the team knows anything about your business or the government action it faces. In addition, the CEO has asked you to include your recommendations for addressing the situation the business is facing.
A. Business Project Teams: Based on your evaluation of the internal resources that are available to the company, how can business project teams be efficiently engaged to obtain the most favorable results for the company?
B. Communication: Based on your assessment of the business’s public image, recommend communication approaches or strategies designed to mitigate the impact of negative information about the business.
C. Solution: Based on the courses of action and their impacts that you previously described, determine an effective solution for the business in the situation it is facing. How does the solution address the governmental action(s) or political challenge(s) faced by the business?
D. Political Influence: Based on your evaluation of external resources, how should the company utilize outside resources and approaches to advocate for the business and influence the political process?
