The United States went through dramatic economic change during and after the Civil War, as industrialization spread rapidly and changed society. This transformation and some of the apparent abuses that developed led to an increased role of the government in regulating businesses and society. This role was heightened as government was viewed as the arbiter between business and organized labor. One can explore these developments from 1865 on through to World War II. Take one of the positions as suggested below, draw from the sources listed, and present a paper with specific examples and arguments to demonstrate the validity of your position.
Possible position—in each case you can take the pro or con position:
From the Progressive era through the New Deal period, political interventions generally tended to favor big corporations and hurt the common workers, leading to economic instability. (or you can argue that they helped the workers and promoted economic stability)
From 1865 to 1940, the development of labor unions was generally a negative force leading to economic disruption and unnecessary laws that stifled businesses and hindered job growth. (or you can take the position that labor unions had a necessary function and generally positive impact)
From 1865 to 1940, expansion west was devastating to Native American culture, but government policies promoted economic growth in these territories and generally equal opportunities to the settlers. (or you can take the position that government policies did not promote those benefits in those new areas)
After giving general consideration to your readings so far and any general research, select one of the positions above as your position—your thesis. (Sometimes after doing more thorough research, you might choose the reverse position. This happens with critical thinking and inquiry. Your final paper might end up taking a different position than you originally envisioned.) Organize your paper as follows, handling these issues:
The position you choose (from the list above)—or something close to it—will be the thesis statement in your opening paragraph.
To support your position, use four specific examples from different decades between 1865 and 1940.
Explain why the opposing view is weak in comparison to yours.
Consider your life today: In what way does the history you have shown shape or impact issues in your workplace or desired profession?

Considering the average price of these 3 materials, which material is the best choice for manufacturing? Compare the USD (only material price) per 1000 Watts of heat removal for each of the materials and discuss your choice.
To begin, please note that you are required to post each week (i.e., posting in Week 1 and Week 2 of Module 1 is a requirement of this course). We are going to have discussions on strategic management topics, as they apply to companies.
For this assignment, we will focus on General Mills, a multinational food manufacturing company: http://www.generalmills.com/
WEEK 1:
As you research General Mills, you may want to compare and contrast that company with the other food service retailers – such as Kraft Foods, Nestle, Tyson Foods, ConAgra, and Kellogg.
Please visit the General Mills site, and identify the company’s mission and vision, as well as their major stakeholders (you may need to interpret and/or make assumptions here, as all mission and vision statements are not crystal clear – nor are they always explicitly stated. You should note that the stakeholders aren’t simply the shareholders. “Stakeholders” include everyone and anyone who is affected by the success or failure of the company).
All companies should have a mission statement. It does not have to be long, but it should give a snapshot of what the company is about and what it does. Strategic Management tells us that a mission statement expresses a company’s goals purpose and values. (The Business Vision, n.d.). It took some time for me to find the General Mills Mission Statement. It of course was not labeled “Mission Statementâ€. It states, “We serve the world by making food people love.†(General Mills, n.d.). If I understand the definition of a mission statement correctly, their mission statement expresses what they do and who they do it for. Their vision statement was a list of statements. They express their passion and values.
Company stakeholders are those businesses or people who would suffer a loss if something negative were to happen to the company. Some of the stakeholders for General Mills are their management teams and board of directors. The company must ensure to make decisions that benefit the company as well as their stakeholders.
A company’s mission statement is a description of what an organization does and why it exists (Heathfield, 2009). General Mills clearly sites its mission statement on its website as its purpose: “we serve the world by making food people love†(“Purposeâ€, n.d., para. 1).
In contrast, a vision is a declaration of what an organization wants to become (Heathfield, 2009).Despite some in-depth searching, General Mills seems to be lacking a clear vision. The company provides great depth and information about other topics such as their values which are putting people first, making food with passion and treating the world with care however, there is no clearly laid out vision (“Purposeâ€, n.d.). This is in unlike their competitor Kraft which openly states their vision “to be the best food company, growing a better world†(“Investor Relationsâ€, n.d., para. 1). However, if trying to interpret a vision for General Mills one could look for inspiration in the value General Mills is trying to create. This value is based on “continually enhancing our products by improving nutrition, expanding variety, and increasing sustainability†(“Creating Valueâ€, n.d., para. 1). Therefore, the company vision could be interpreted as: General Mills is recognized as a premier food producer through their production of nutritious and sustainable food products.
Finally, an organization’s stakeholders are “individuals and groups of individuals who have an interest (give-and-take) relationship with the firm†(Luca, 2007, p. 3). In a message to General Mills stakeholders, CEO Jeffrey Harmening states that his company’s stakeholders are “consumers, works, communities and the planet†(Global Responsibility Report, 2019, p. 3). In addition to this and based on General Mills engagements around the world, these stakeholders can also be expanded to include suppliers, investors, regulators, non-governmental organizations, and industry associates (Global Responsibility Report, 2019). Overall, General Mills has a broad and diverse range of stakeholders that have an interest relationship with this company.
What were reasons that led to the ultimate failure of the Treaty of Versailles? What were the challenges facing the newly-formed league of nations, and why was it so difficult to form a lasting agreement that would prevent another war? Elaborate.
Disaster response and recovery involves the participation of many individuals and agencies to adequately manage the variety of complex issues arise during an event. Whether you are managing a natural or man-made disaster, the system to manage the incident is similar. The National Incident Management System (NIMS) provides the framework for the involved agencies and experts to work together to manage the response to an incident.
NIMS calls for the use of an emergency operations center (EOC) as a place for interagency coordination and response to major incidents. The use of an EOC allows for a consistent approach for decision-making and coordination of the many organizations involved in the response. By understanding the roles within an EOC and their functions, you will be more valuable to the emergency response efforts and contribute to the resolution of the incident.
The media piece, Riverbend City: Emergency Operations Center, linked in Resources, includes natural disaster and terrorism scenarios; you will develop a twelve-hour strategic objectives plan to respond to one of these situations. You will submit the plan in memo form. Memo templates are linked in Resources for your convenience; you may wish to review them before you begin.
For this assignment, you will assume a staff role in an EOC and choose the natural disaster or terrorism attack scenario to begin response planning.
The purpose of this assignment is to guide your understanding of how interagency coordination, resource management, and emergency operations plans (EOPs) are beneficial during the management of a disaster.
Note: There is no “right” way to complete this assignment, which is reflective of real-world critical thinking and decision-making in the EOC. However, your objectives and decisions must be based on the strategies listed in the EOP.
Instructions
Construct this assessment based on the natural disaster or terrorism situation from the Capella media piece, Riverbend City: Emergency Operations Center.
Pay attention to the types of issues that arise during the discussion within the EOP staff.
Identify your role as one of the staff members: incident commander, operations section chief, planning section chief, or logistics section chief. Your position is located in the EOC and part of an interagency group that is tasked with managing emergency response for one operational period.
After identifying the issues, refer to the Commonwealth of Virginia Emergency Operations Plan to clarify your understanding of how emergency personnel plan to address similar problems.
Using the perspective of your chosen role in the EOC, write a 1.5–2 page memo for a twelve-hour strategic objectives plan that responds to your chosen scenario. Structure your memo with these headings:
EOC Role:
Summarize (briefly) your emergency operations management role and how the position relates to the other command positions.
Objectives:
Construct four primary strategic objectives for the next twelve-hour operational period.
EOP Application
Apply the strategy in the EOP to support objectives 1–4.
Indicate the EOP strategy that supports each of your objectives. Describe the objective, personnel needed to accomplish the goal, and alternatives that may be taken to accomplish the goal.
Response
