Critical Thinking (105 points):

This week, our focus is on organizational structure and strategy implementation. Select a Middle Eastern company with which you are familiar and detail the company’s organizational structure. Then, research steps to effective strategy implementation, and develop and recommend an approach that suits your company’s organizational structure. Make sure to provide the following details:

1. Identify and diagram the organizational structure. Explain why this structure is best or recommend a new structure. Then, use the Internet to find a free software program that can be used to create an organizational chart (or you may choose to develop the organizational chart in Word).
   • SmartDraw
   • Lucidchart
2. Explain the role of specialization, cooperation, and coordination to improve capabilities. How do these relate to your company?
3. Research how companies successfully implement strategies.
4. Identify keys to strategy implementation success.
5. Identify potential implementation problems for your company.

Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be 4 to 5 pages in length, which does not include the required title and reference pages, which are never a part of the content minimum requirements.
• Use Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines.
• Support your submission with course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook and at least two scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles unless the assignment calls for more.
• It is strongly encouraged that you submit all assignments into the Turnitin Originality Check before submitting it to your instructor for grading. If you are unsure how to submit an assignment into the Originality Check tool, review the Turnitin Originality Check—Student Guide for step-by-step instructions.
• Review the grading rubric to see how you will be graded for this assignment.

The Research Paper Topic Proposal

This week, you will submit your research topic proposal to your instructor for approval.

Begin by exploring topics in developmental psychology. Reference your textbook, the weekly introductions in your course, and reputable journal articles to explore topic ideas. Be sure to choose a topic that you are highly interested in. From that topic, you will pose a question for your research.

For example, you may find interest in the life span of adolescence. From there, you may want to explore issues related to adolescent suicide. From this topic you could pose a number of questions to research, such as:

1. Are adolescents from single-parent homes at higher risk of suicide than those from two-parent homes?
2. Does lack of play in childhood lead to anxiety and depression in adolescence?
3. Does “helicopter parenting” lead to anxiety and depression in adolescence?

How to Develop a Research Question

Your research question should enable you draw some unique conclusions so that you are not simply reporting on research that has already been concluded. You may have to do some preliminary research within your topic to determine a suitable question. Here are some examples.

This example is too broad and will likely lead to a confusing and disorganized paper. It lacks parameters.

Why do adolescents commit suicide?

This example is too narrow. It can be answered rather simply with some basic data.

How many adolescent suicides occurred last year?

A good research question specifies the parameters of the research, yet leaves room for analysis and the writer’s unique input.

What are some of the unique social factors that led to an increase in suicide rates among 13- to 18-year-old females in 2015?

(In your paper, you would define two to three social factors you deem significant and connect them with the appropriate physical, cognitive, and socioemotional occurrences happening during this part of life span development. Then, draw your own conclusions from the research you find.)

Once you have your research question, phrase it as a statement so that it can become your thesis statement. The thesis statement is what drives the direction of your paper.

The Research Paper Topic Proposal Assignment

Include the following in your topic proposal:

• Your research question
• Your thesis statement
• A narrative describing your topic and why you chose it (its significance)

Refer to the Writing Resources link under the Student Resources tab for help with writing thesis statements and research questions, and consult your West Coast University librarians for database search support as needed.

Your topic proposal should be 1–2 pages in length. Use current APA Style and cite and reference all sources.

read Light: Science and Magic Ch. 8 and Post at least three technical aspects of lighting that you learned. as long sentences list it as points.

TASK 1:

Read over the section labeled Rome’s Imperial Crisis and the Rise of Constantine. Write a summary of the information you learned in this section. Your response should be two pages. It should be done using MLA format and you should use three sources.

TASK 2:

Create an APA outline on this topic: WHAT HISTORAL FIGURE IS IMPORTANT TO THE EGYPTIAN CIVILIVATION?

Review the leadership theories on pages 9-11 and Gardner’s Tasks of Leading/Managing on pages 14-15 in Leading and Managing in Nursing.

Complete the table below:

• Summarize the main points of the theory in your own words in the Summary Definition column.
• Provide an example where you witnessed the theory in practice or suggest a situation where it could be applicable in the Practice Example column. Do not restate the Application to Practice column in the textbook; provide a unique example or suggest a possible scenario.
• Correlate at least one of Gardner’s task to the theory and practice example in the last column.

Use at least five in-text citations in the table to support your summaries, practice examples, or application of Gardner’s Tasks. In the References section below the table, create an APA-formatted list to cite each resource.
