Hello,
I need you to work together again. Like last time, I’ll need you to select, as a group, one client to work with. You’ll need to check my communication with the client to get some information you’ll need to complete this task.
Your task is to develop a training plan for the client. In your plan, consider the following:
It’s important that you also provide rationale for your choices.
Your training plan should be no more than 2,450 words. Keep up the hard work, team!
Thanks,
Traci Goldeman

Hey Traci,
Thanks for the performance management strategies you sent over. There were some great recommendations given. I’m excited to see what your team can come up with for a training plan. I know there are a lot of variables involved, but one of my concerns is about the cost of the training plan.
Just keep in mind that my annual net revenue for the first year is going to be -$50,000. That will change, though, because my expected annual revenue growth is -5%. You’ll probably also need to consider that I’m planning for 25 employees. Oh, and one more thing: I expect my annual turnover to be about 10%.
If your team could come up with an effective and efficient training plan, that would be tremendous.
Thank you so much,

Assignment 2: Using Motivation to Improve Performance
Due Week 6 and worth 220 points
Motivation is a complex subject, but its understanding and application is central to the success of management and the organization. Imagine that the CEO of your organization (current or past) has tasked you with recommending actions to promote employee’s involvement. This is a very important task. We recommend you start by drafting an outline of you potential ideas. Thereafter, you can explain in detail your proposal to the CEO. The outline should not be a reiteration of motivation theory, but should provide succinct points that cover the key topics of motivation and provides a road map that management can implement to improve motivation within the organization.
HINT: Review Chapter 8, page 226. Also, you might want to think about a specific job or unit you worked previously.

Let’s talk about Twinkies, HoHos and Ding Dongs. They have long been found in the snack food aisle and have even been described as having “a legendary history” (!). One fun fact: the cream inside a Twinkie was banana flavored for many years. But when World War II brought rationing, including of bananas, Hostess changed the flavor of the crème to vanilla. Ok, one more fun fact: Although there is an urban legend that Twinkies never go bad, it seems that the reality is they have a shelf like of about 25 days. That is considered quite a long shelf life for a baked good product. What is the secret? It may be that Twinkies lack any dairy products. Unfortunately, whatever the flavor of the “cream” inside or the shelf life of a Twinkie, the company that makes them, Hostess Brands, recently declared bankruptcy. However, Metropoulos & Co. and Apollo Global, the new owners of Hostess Brands, will be reopening four bakery/plants, in hopes of getting snacks to Twinkie-deprived consumers shortly. One thing Hostess will not do going forward after reopening plants is to use union workers. The 86-year-old company closed down and entered bankruptcy, in part, due to a nationwide strike by one of it unions. Chief Executive C. Dean Metropoulos said $60 million in capital investments will be spent on the plants and that the plan is to hire at least 1,500 workers. But Mr. Metropoulos in an interview made his view on the role of unions clear: There will be no role. Hostess Brands Inc. once employed 19,000 workers. Of those, unions represented 15,000. The Teamsters union, which represented the largest share of Hostess Brands workers, after difficult negotiations, agreed to a new collective bargaining contract following the bankruptcy trial in court. In contrast, the second-largest union, the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers & Grain Millers International union, began a nationwide work stoppage after failing to agree on a contract with the company, which led to the company imposing a mew. Less favorable contract on the union. The resulting strike, according to the company, crippled its operations, ultimately leading the company to shut down. The company and the Bakers union expressed different views on the importance of the unionized bakers. The president of the Bakers union, David Durkee, stated that because only members of the plants used to bake snacks, the Bakers union members would be hored back to work. In contrast, the new owners of Hostess have said that they will be able to find capable nonunion workers in the areas where plants are re-opening, which are all located in areas where unemployment is high. Prior to bankruptcy, Hostess plants had been running at less than 50% of capacity. Going forward, the plants are expected to run at 855 to 90%capacity, making production much more efficient and, presumably, allowing the company to make an adequate profit. Of course, if the nonunion workers to be used going forward are also less costly, that will further bring costs down and profits up. The caveat is that it remains to be seen whether new nonunion bakers can quickly learn how to efficiently do the work in the plants. To avoid hiring Teamsters as drivers, Hostess plans to outsource driving/delivery and related tasks. It will also outsource sales.
QUESTIONS
1. Why did Hostess Brands Inc. go into bankruptcy?
2. Did unions act in the best interests of the workers they represented? Did the two unions involved follow the same strategy?
3. Will the new company, Hostess Brands LLC, perform better? Why or why not?
I have a marketing plan. Please review it and let me know if is something that you can do, and your price.

Human beings are naturally different and diverse.
Human beings are mostly in a natural sense different and diverse. In the recent years, diversity in the country has become a popular topic. The result of the interest in diversity is that most corporations, big or small, government agencies, and even nonprofit organizations have all engaged in policies that embrace human diversity. In schools curriculums today, there are units on diversity being offered and in some required. There are several issues that make diversity an important issue in the country. First, is the presence of a media platform that connects people not just in the country but also the globe, this brings about corporations that deal in international markets and need to embrace diversity. Second, is that the makeup of the country’s population has changed dramatically and lastly is the fact that individuals have embraced and now celebrate their differences and do not compromise their unique while trying to fit in.
The country’s media, from the local radio to broadcast television, should fully be representative of the different communities it serves. A diverse media would bring into its fold the minorities and women in the content it provides, employment, and in ownership. This will mean that all the stories and information of the country can be told and heard. Despite this, the reality is different by far. There is a narrow representation of minorities and women in the country’s media. When the presence of minorities is achieved, the portrayal is not accurate and fair enough.
Different communities face different challenges from racial profiling, disability rights or immigration reform, and media and communications influence the understanding and perception of these challenges for the policy makers and the community as well. When media and communications policies lack structures that ensure diversity and reflect the community’s perspectives struggles and victories, then all of the country loses (Luther, C. A., Lepre, C. R., & Clark, N. 2011).
Human life is inherently creative
Creativity is a force in human life that cannot be overstated; it is a mental process that involves the generation of new concepts or ideas, or news association between the existing concepts or ideas. The creative thought has products that are often considered to have both appropriateness and originality.
Media is about communication, and the delivery of the message is inextricably linked to the message itself. This period is the most creative time in the media. The media sits at the intersection of marketing, technology and people. The challenge and opportunity the media faces is in being able to enable the great ideas to flourish in the industry. This can be reached by using device, data, and channels, and by delivering the message and its distribution in new and creative ways.
The media provides a platform for creative individuals to promote their work and for connecting with other people who share the share interests. This enables some of them to pursue their creativity beyond a pleasure activity to one that can sustain them. Though there is a section of people, who believe that the advent of technology in the media is posing a risk to creativity (Torrance, E. P. 1995).
Human beings have curiosity
Human beings usually have a nature that is deeply curious, and more often than not it is about the minor issues in our lives. Human curiosity has individuals doing things that are utterly unproductive, like reading news about individuals they will probably never meet, learning topics they will never use the information, or exploring places they will probably never visit. The answers to these questions drive human beings to search for information to satisfy their curiosity.
Curiosity is one of the main factors that encourage people to engage with the media. The media should be able to raise some level of curiosity so that it may attract the attention of its target. There is a pivotal contribution of human curiosity in making up creative and participatory content for the media and the society to consume. Media can be used for teaching as it satisfies a need to learn, in other word curiosity (Edelman, S. 1997).
