   • sample_mockup.docx

     Create your first home page. Your home page must include the following elements:

   • At least one heading.
   • At least two paragraphs.
   • You must use FileZilla to upload your HTML document to your Rasmussen FTP account. You must include the URL to your new website in your document. Your URL should follow this format:

     http://sotd.us/firstnamelastname/yourwebsitefolder/index.html
     or
     http://sotd.us/joesmith/mynewsite/index.html

     Submit your completed assignment by following the directions linked below. Please check the Course Calendar for specific due dates.

1. Question: Storage Hierarchy and Secondary Storage Devices
   Explain the concept of storage hierarchy in computer systems, and describe the primary characteristics of secondary storage devices. Compare and contrast two different types of secondary storage devices in terms of their advantages, disadvantages, and typical use cases. Provide examples of situations where choosing the appropriate secondary storage device is crucial for optimizing data management in computing environments.

2. Question: Data Transfer Rate and Disk Access Times
   Define data transfer rate and disk access times in the context of computer peripherals. Discuss the factors that influence these performance metrics for storage devices. How do the characteristics of storage devices impact the overall system performance? Illustrate with real-world examples, and explain the strategies that can be employed to improve data transfer rates and reduce disk access times for various applications.

3. Question: GPU Technology and Display Resolution
   Explore the role of Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) in modern computing systems, especially in relation to display resolution and picture size. Describe how GPUs contribute to enhancing graphics performance and enabling high-quality visuals. Discuss the factors that affect display resolution and how it relates to the capabilities of GPUs. Highlight the importance of GPU technology in applications such as gaming, multimedia, and professional graphics work, and provide insights into the trends shaping GPU development.

Overview

Using the same scenario from Identifying the Organizational Learning Issue, you realize that transitioning your organization to a learning environment may not be as easy as first imagined. You have encountered several resistance issues relating to the culture, psychological learning, organization structure, workforce commitment, and dissemination of knowledge. You decide to gather a decision-making team to assist in identifying the high or moderate resistance risks that may stop or slow down the process of this transition. The decision-making team must also recommend some mitigation intervention to lower the identified resistance risks to either moderate or low. For example, a high resistance risk can become moderate or low, and a moderate resistance risk can become low.

Your final product will be a table that identifies five issues related to the organization’s culture, psychological learning, organization structure, workforce commitment, and dissemination of knowledge. You must also provide a description of each resistance issue and rate the resistance risk before the mitigation intervention as either High (H) or Moderate (M). Then, you must provide a description of your team’s mitigation intervention and determine the resistance risk’s downgrade from High (H) to Moderate (M) or Low (L) and/or Moderate (M) to Low (L) after the mitigation intervention.

Instructions

Create a table in which you:

1. Determine one challenge in the culture that may cause a major resistance to the transition from individual learning to organizational learning. Next, recommend one mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
2. Predict one psychological learning threat that may result from the transition and then provide one mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
3. Assess the current organizational structure as it relates to the free flow of knowledge, then specify one issue that may cause major resistance to the transition. Provide one mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
4. Critique the workforce commitment to this transition and predict one major resistance you may encounter. Next, provide a mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
5. Propose one dissemination of knowledge issue with the recipients’ ability to absorb the knowledge and comprehend it into action (that is, motivating the recipient to share knowledge). Next, provide one mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
6. Use at least two quality academic references in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia does not qualify as an academic resource.

Use the Resistance Risk Mitigation Intervention Table Download Resistance Risk Mitigation Intervention Table template. You may also use Microsoft Word or other equivalent software to create a table in an equivalent format for this supporting document.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The library is your home for SWS assistance, including citations and formatting. Please refer to the Library site for all support. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

• Create a table to identify transition resistance risks and an intervention to mitigate each.

As a manager of the department, you reviewed the sales report, and sales are drastically down. You decided to attend a seminar on emotional intelligence, and the seminar encouraged you to implement an emotional intelligence management approach in your department. Propose a strategic solution that details how an EI approach can improve organizational outcomes and sales for the CEO.

As you continue to evaluate your role as a manager, the next task to deliver is an emotional intelligence management approach to the CEO. Conduct a research analysis of the company and propose strategic solutions to the CEO of your chosen organization1.  EI and Motivation:

o  Discuss which of the EI building blocks (select one) would impact management’s ability to enhance employee performance and job satisfaction.

§  You will have to research EI, employee performance, and job satisfaction to formulate your individualized approach to this question.

o  Describe which motivational theory you would utilize based on research to influence the members of the organization.

§  Include how the selected theory would aid in helping to utilize this new approach to manage its members. Support your solution.

2.  EI, Social Skills, and Decision-Making:

o  Explain how emotional intelligence would enhance decision-making within the management team.

3.  Effective Teams:

o  Describe the core attributes of an effective team and the strategies you would implement to develop team dynamics that will benefit the organization.
