Hi, I have already written a stock pitch but I need help editing it (shortening the paragraph, making the language sound more professional, making sure the grammar is correct) as well as adding a few bits to make sure it relates back to why we should buy this stock. If you would like more details please message me and I will send you the report along with all the specific comments containing the edits I would like to be done.

This quiz contains 10 multiple-choice questions. Most questions will require computation using software (Excel, Excel QM, QM for Windows, etc.) with a numerical answer that will be found among the multiple choices. Some questions may either cover a theory, a definition, and/or applications with a short textual answer that will be found among the multiple choices. You will have one hour to complete the quiz.

NOTE: You may not exit and re-enter the quiz.

Complete Quiz 3 no later than Sunday 10:00 PM EST/EDT.

Log in info will be provided

Find two websites on the same topic, one of which has strong credibility and the other which has weak credibility. Answer the following questions about each of the websites.

1. What is the topic of the website?

2. Why is it important to establish credibility for this topic?

3. How did you establish credibility for the website and the information provided?

(Or, for the weak website, what is missing in establishing credibility?)

4. Is there any opportunities for bias on the website? Explain.

5. What is the goal of the website? Who is the target audience?

6. On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being very weak, 10 being very strong), what

numerical value would you assign to the credibility of the website? Briefly

explain your answer.

7. Provide a Works Cited area at the bottom of your essay, in MLA format, to

indicate where you found the websites, and any other information pertaining to the websites. You must also cite your sources in the text of your essay, in MLA format.

8. Be sure to check the rubric for the assignment to determine what you’ll be graded on.

Your essay should be a minimum of 1000 words (about 4 typed double spaced pages in 12 point font with 1 inch margins), not including your “Works Cited” section at the end of your essay.

The goal of this assignment is for you to demonstrate an ability to distinguish a website with strong credibility and one with weak credibility.

Motivation to Work

Each week, you will be asked to respond to the prompt or prompts in the discussion forum. Your initial post should be 300+ words in length, and is due on Sunday. By Tuesday, you should respond to two additional posts from your peers.

What motivates you to get up every morning and do your best? Do you work hard for your family? For personal satisfaction and to meet personal goals? To earn more money? To be recognized by your peers and the community? There is a wide variety of elements that motivate people to work hard. Successfully managing a workforce requires managers to understand, acknowledge, and carefully implement rewards to motivate their employees to perform to the best of their abilities.

First, read Chapters 9 & 10 in the text.

Next, please watch the following video clips from the lab:

• Chapter 10: Concept Clip: Expectancy Theory
• Chapter 10: Concept Clip: Equity Theory
• Chapter 10: Concept Clip: Types of Compensation

Research the total compensation plan for the company you have chosen for your final project. Very briefly describe the elements they use to reward their employees (base pay, bonuses, time off, daycare, flex time, benefits, etc). Is their approach the best that it could be? If you were leading the company, what would you do to ensure their approach to motivating employees was fair and equitable? Is your approach financially feasible? Would you choose to be 100% transparent in your approach? Why or why not?

Review a minimum of two of your classmate’s posts and respond with additional insights, information, questions, or links to more information on the reward and motivation system they shared. Would their approach to motivating their employees work for your organization? Why or why not? Your responses should be academic in nature and linked to research and management topics discussed this week rather than personal stories of shopping with the company they chose for example.

Here is the scenario and situation:

Assume you are an employee working in the Amazon warehouse, and you pack orders and categorize them into small, medium, and large batches. You are considered a packer. You have experience packing all sizes and have been with the organization for two years. You are considered one of their best employees, you have a solid reputation for being a hard worker, and all of your orders are packed correctly. You have also been busy; you recently completed Amazon’s management training program, and you have completed your BABA degree at the Forbes School of Business and Technology at Ashford University.

Congratulations: You have just been promoted to manager. You will be relocated to a new plant that is two hours away that employs 100 employees. You will oversee a team of 10 supervisors and 90 packers and will now oversee the entire warehouse operation. How will you work to use and apply the five functions of management?

Now let’s apply the five functions. In your paper, include the following sections:

• Planning: Examine the specific areas you will choose to manage that fall under the planning function.
  • For example, what might be some of the things you will plan to do and implement to build an effective team and culture? People are the most important resource in any business, what do you plan to do to build a positive team culture? What processes and systems do you plan to use?
• Organizing: Assess if the present structure that Amazon has set up is working.
  • Do you need to make or suggest any changes to make it more efficient and effective? What structure will you use and implement? Explain how you will use departmentalization in your organizational structure.
• Staffing: Analyze your staffing needs.
  • How do you intend to staff your organization and replace members that leave or are promoted? How does the HR process apply? What things (if any) will you suggest?
• Leading: Justify the leadership theory and style you will follow to ensure efficiency.
  • Will you use transformational or transactional leadership? Why or why not?
• Controls: Identify what controls and measures you will implement.
  • How will you apply the four steps of control (these are in Chapter 7; i.e., establishing standards, measuring performance, comparing performance, and making decisions)?

Be sure to integrate vocabulary learned throughout this course and citations from the text to support your analysis. The paper should be five to six double-spaced pages in length, must include at least three scholarly sources, in addition to the textbook, and be formatted according to APA style guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

The Team Management Activity and Reflection paper

• Must be five to six double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.).
• Must include a separate title page with the following:
