This DB has four parts.
As a leader, it is important to not only understand what common biases are, but to also have the self-awareness to understand those that they possess. Only through this self-awareness can a leader minimize errors in the decision-making process. What could be the result if self-awareness is not attained?
If self –awareness is not attained, as a leader I would be lost on how to lead. Employees expect leaders to be perfect and have it all together. Leaders learn self-awareness by trial and error with different experiences. Effective leaders and managers learn from their mistakes. Those who do not have self-awareness about their strengths and weaknesses
Decision making must be balanced, taking into consideration both short-term and long-term business outcomes. Explain how common biases, bounded awareness, emotions and motivation affect the decision-making process.
Emotion and personal feelings affect decision making and what is best for the company and organization. Decisions should be made with a clear mind and effectively. If a leader does not feel confident, then they decisions which need to be made cannot be made. They should not made of out haste or personal feelings.
What ethical factors should be taken into consideration when making a decision?
Being firm fair and consistent towards employees and make sure as a leader all options of the decision are for better the organization.
Ethics can be considered as doing the right thing. How do you believe ethical standards in multi-national corporations should be adjusted for the diverse cultures the organization works within?
Doing the right thing goes along way. Ethics consist of doing the right thing when no one is looking simply because it is the right thing to do. I believe when you train staff correctly and hold them accountable no matter the diversity.
Week 6 – Interactive Assignment
Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses.
Prior to beginning work on this interactive assignment, it is recommended that you review the recommended resources for this week as they will assist you in the creation of an effective presentation of your Research Design.
This interactive assignment will provide you with an opportunity to create a dynamic presentation of some of the materials you are creating for your Research Proposal. This type of presentation would be used in the professional world to request Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval, and potentially elicit funding, for your research.
In your presentation, summarize the main points and ideas for your Reseach Design. Over the course of the week, you will have the opportunity to share feedback and suggestions with your classmates and instructor, which may assist you in improving your research proposal before submitting the Research Proposal.
For this interactive assignment, create a presentation file using PowerPoint and then create a three- to five-minute screencast video of your presentation with pertinent audio that includes important points about the content of each slide. In order to make sure your video remains within the 3-5-minute time requirement, create a script for your screencast video. You must attach your script to your initial post. It is recommended you rehearse your presentation using your script to ensure that you are within the time limit and that all pertinent information is presented in a manner that is easy to understand. You may use any screencasting software of your choice (e.g., Screencast-O-Matic, Jing, etc.). A quick-start guide is available for Screencast-O-Matic for your convenience.
The content of the presentation must include the following:
A brief introduction
Devise a specific research question related to the topic you chose in Week One.
Explain the importance of the topic and research question.
A brief literature review
Evaluate published research studies on your topic found during your work on the Weeks One, Two, and Four assignments and identify two relevant published studies.
A description of potential methods
Based on what you have learned about research design options and requirements in this course, create an appropriate research approach and design to investigate your research question.
Provide a rationale for your design choices.
A discussion on ethical issues
Apply ethical standards to the proposed research and identify potential ethical issues that would apply. Explain how you plan to address these issues.
A conclusion
Summarize the main points of the presentation and reiterate why the proposed research is important and why it should be carried out.
In your initial discussion post, introduce your presentation and provide a link to the screencast URL. Be sure to attach your PowerPoint presentation and script documents to your initial post.

Pluto’s diameter is approximately 2370 km, and the diameter of its satellite Charon is 1250 km. Although the distance varies, they are often about 1.99104 km apart, center-to-center. Assuming that both Pluto and Charon have the same composition and hence the same average density, find the location of the center of mass of this system relative to the center of Pluto
