  • For bullet points, use the 6 x 6 Rule. One thought per line with no more than 6 words per line and no more than 6 lines per slide.
  • Use dark text on light background or light text on dark background.
  • To test the font, stand back six feet from the monitor and see if you can read the slide.

• Graphics and Design
  • Keep the background consistent and subtle.
  • Use only enough text when using charts or graphs to explain clearly label the graphic.
  • Keep the design clean and uncluttered.
  • Try to use the same style graphics throughout the presentation. (e.g. cartoon, photographs)
  • Limit the number of graphics on each slide.
• Color
  • Limit the number of colors on a single screen.
  • Bright colors make small objects and thin lines stand out. However, some vibrant colors are difficult to read when projected.
  • Use no more than four colors on one chart.

At times, a communication will need to do more than present facts and information. Instead, it must influence the reader in some way.

Select a document from work or a paper from previous coursework. You will need to include a copy of this document with your paper, so make sure that you are allowed to do so.   

Examine the paper for tone, use of metaphors, and techniques of persuasive style. Are there ways this could have been improved to make the document more effective?

Requirements:

• Write a paper with the results of your examination and your ideas for improvement.
• Be sure to include a copy of the document with your paper.
• Your paper should be 3-5 pages in length, not including the title and reference pages.
• You must include a minimum of two (2) credible sources, not including the text, and use proper citation.
• Your paper must follow academic writing standards and APA style guidelines.

Write a 700 -word paper, written in the third person voice, and address the following issues:

• Identify and diagnose a problematic organizational issue that you are aware of or have observed.
• Describe the history of this problem, including the roles of any relevant personnel involved. Use fictitious names for individuals to maintain confidentiality.
• Evaluate any actions that the organization has taken to resolve the situation. What could the organization have done to prevent the situation, and what more can the company do to ensure that this type of situation will not occur in the future?
• Using Table 1.2 “Types of Organizational Change” in Organizational Change, identify and explain the type of organizational change necessary to remedy the issue.
• Determine an organizational framework that can be used to help direct change management processes. Refer to any of the processes or models in Chapters 2 and 3 of your text, and support your choice of the process or model.
• Include a conclusion that summarizes your research and provides a potential remedy for the issue.

Include justification for your responses by citing your Organizational Change text as well as a minimum of two of the Week 1 Electronic Reserve Readings sources in your paper. These sources must also be identified in your APA correctly formatted Reference page.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

1, Boeing, a monopolist in commercial aircraft, is being sued by the U.S. Justice Department for anticompetitive behavior. Imagine you have been hired as a consultant by both Boeing and the Justice Department to outline opening arguments in this case for both sides.

a. What points would Boeing use to defend its position in the commercial aircraft business?

b. What arguments would the Justice Department use against Boeing?

2, Briefly explain in your own words the terms “public goods” and “common resources.”

Use the terms [rival, non-rival, excludable, non-excludable] given in the Aplia exercise entitled “Steal this Signal” to explain why goods produced in perfect competition are both rival and excludable, and why the other combinations would represent some kind of market failure.

3, Use the material in Chapter 14 on antitrust policy and in Chapter 16 on the government role in controlling negative externalities to discuss the part that government plays in the micro economy. What are the tradeoffs, the pluses and minuses, of government participation?
