Imagine you are on a work team that has two people who make all the decisions. These two people tend to work closely together and ignore your input during meetings. Two other team members have stopped contributing to the team and sometimes don’t even attend meetings. The team has been together for over three months now. Your supervisor wants you to talk with the entire team about how all of you can function together and work more effectively as a cohesive team.

Using this topic as your inspiration, write a short response in a Word document on how you would approach this situation. Address the following questions in your response:

What will you say when you address the entire team?

What strategies would you recommend the team put in place so that the team can function more effectively?

What are two possible objections you might get from your team members?

How would you overcome those two objections during the meeting?

Your response should be 400 to 500 words in length.

11.10 LAB: All permutations of names

PLEASE ANSWER IN C++!

Write a program that lists all ways people can line up for a photo (all permutations of a list of strings). The program will read a list of one word names (until -1), and use a recursive method to create and output all possible orderings of those names, one ordering per line.

When the input is:

Julia Lucas Mia -1

then the output is (must match the below ordering):

Julia Lucas Mia 
Julia Mia Lucas 
Lucas Julia Mia 
Lucas Mia Julia 
Mia Julia Lucas 
Mia Lucas Julia 

----File: main.cpp----

#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

// TODO: Write method to create and output all permutations of the list of names.
void AllPermutations(const vector<string> &permList, const vector<string> &nameList) {

}

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
vector<string> nameList;
vector<string> permList;
string name;

// TODO: Read in a list of names; stop when -1 is read. Then call recursive method.

return 0;

An Interbrand study estimated that the Apple brand was worth almost $200 billion. This value is best described as:

Group of answer choices

Market Capitalization

Brand solvency

Brand positioning

Brand equity

Which of the following is most likely to fall under the classification as illegal price discrimination?

Group of answer choices

A distributor charges a higher price to one retailer than to a similar retailer, and there is no justifiable difference in the costs of selling to each retailer.

The cinema gives a discounted price to customers over the age of 65.

Walmart in one city charges different prices than a Walmart in a different city.

All of the above are examples of illegal discrimination

A primary reason to quickly address service failures is to:

minimize the zone of tolerance.

increase empowerment zones.

avoid negative word-of-mouth from upset customers.

avoid a situational ethics conflict.

keep management from finding out what happened.

Printers can be pretty cheap, but then the replacement ink cartridges are really expensive. This willingness of consumers to pay the high price of the ink cartridges is an example of:

Suppose Tom’s brother works for an airline as a union representative for the machinists working on the planes. Two years ago, there was a forced landing that severely injured five people on the flight of one of the airline’s passenger planes. While watching television at Tom’s house, he notices his brother is rather depressed. Tom asks him what is wrong. “Remember that crash of Flight 3183 to Buffalo a while back?” the brother asks. Tom shakes his head in the affirmative. “Yeah. You were worried whether or not it would be blamed on your workers for a mechanical failure.” The brother sighs. “Well, we got word today that the NTSB is going to find that one of my guys was at fault. They’re going to announce their findings by the end of the week.” Tom nods while returning his attention to the television. The next day, Tom picks up the phone to call his broker, selling all the shares he has in the airline. Using supply/demand analysis, what would we expect to happen to the share price of the airline once the NTSB announcement is made that the airline was at fault? Ethically, should Tom have reacted the way he did? Discuss.

Part (a) The cyclopentadienyl anion (C5H5 - ) is commonly used aromatic ligand. The secular equations for describing the interactions of the five unhybridized p orbitals lead to a matrix of the form:

( ?11 − ??11 ?12 − ??12 ?13 − ??13 ?14 − ??14 ?15 − ??15
?21 − ??21 ?22 − ??22 ?23 − ??23 ?24 − ??24 ?25 − ??25
?31 − ??31 ?32 − ??32 ?33 − ??33 ?34 − ??34 ?35 − ??35
?41 − ??41 ?42 − ??42 ?43 − ??43 ?44 − ??44 ?45 − ??45
?51 − ??51 ?52 − ??42 ?53 − ??53 ?54 − ??54 ?55 − ??55)

where ??? is the Hamiltonian integral for orbitals ? and ? and ??? is the overlap integral for orbitals ? and ?. This matrix can be simplified using the approximations of Hückel molecular orbital (MO) theory, which involves two constants ? and ?.

(i) Explain the approximations of Hückel MO theory in terms of ??? and ???, and define ? and ?.

(ii) Re-write the above matrix applying these assumptions. [You may write this matrix (and only the matrix) on paper and copy and paste and image of it into your word document if you wish.] (iii) Briefly explain (without performing any calculations) how this matrix is used to determine the energies and coefficients of the MOs.

  1. Our economy is currently experiencing conditions that have not occurred in recent history. Using the AS/AD model developed in Chapter 10, explain how our current economic conditions impact aggregate supply and aggregate demand. There is no right or wrong answer, you just need to justify your answer thoroughly. Be sure to comment on AD, LRAS and SRAS curves including the shape of the SRAS curve and why.
  1. Are there any economic indicators that can support your answer? Hint: use your FRED dashboard (other series could be used too) Don’t feel like this answer needs to be complicated or has to have a lot of info. If you find that no indicator supports your answer you could say that but you could say why you think that is the case, or you could only see one or two and that is ok. Don’t over think this one!
  1. Graph the AS/AD you described in Question 1. Be sure to label all axes, curves and changes in equilibrium. Add arrows to indicate any shifts in curves. You can add your graph to the word document or include it as an additional attachment.

Several issues have arisen on the Recreation and Wellness Intranet Project. The person from the HR department who was supporting the project left the company, and now the team needs more support from that group. A member of the user group that supports the project is extremely vocal and hard to work with, and other users can hardly get a word in at meetings. You are getting weekly status reports from all of the team members, but many of them do not address obvious challenges that people are facing. The team is having difficulty deciding how to communicate various project reports and documents and where to store all of the information being generated. Recall that the team members include you, a programmer/analyst and aspiring project manager; Patrick, a network specialist; Nancy, a business analyst; and Bonnie, another programmer/analyst.

Tasks

1. Summarize three different communications media that could be used for getting more support from the HR department and which you think would be most effective.
2. Prepare a sample of a good weekly progress report that could be used for this project. Include a list of tips to help team members provide information on these reports.
