Read the Following Case Scenario:

A recent survey was taken among employees at Biotech Health and Life Products (Biotech). The results were alarming, as it appeared the leadership has been less effective than in the past. Some of the common complaints seemed to focus on the lack of vision, a breakdown in communication and a lack of connection with staff. You have read the results and as Vice President of Biotech, you completely agree with employees. Leadership is the cornerstone to success in any organization and to permit poor leadership can only spell trouble. It occurred to you that the place to start change was starring you in the face - the new management hires planned for production in Detroit and Anaheim. Mumbling to yourself “but what do I want them to look like?” you decide that you must write a memo to HR Director, Judy Janks to make sure the “right” description of a leader is asked for in the soon-to-be released job description. Scrambling around on the desk, you find the old job announcement so that you can make some changes. It reads, “Biotech is looking for experienced production managers who focus on keeping the production high and costs low. Manager must be able to motivate employees to keep production moving smoothly and efficiently. Must be someone who can handle a fast-paced environment, is driven and results-oriented. Goal oriented and policy adherence critical to succeed in the department.” Instructions: You will act as the Vice President of Biotech. Write a memorandum to the HR Director, Judy Janks that explains the need for a new job announcement for managers at Biotech. The memorandum will explain how the business environment has changed the view of the leader and defines the vision you have based on synthesizing the course material about leadership theory and definition of a leader in today’s business environment opposed to leaders hired in the past. In writing the memorandum, use the course material from week 1 and week 2 to support the reasoning and conclusions made. Answer the following:

Explain how the existing job announcement for new hires was effective in the past based on the theories and view of leadership through the 1990’s.

Explain why the leader of today would no longer fit the definition set out in the old announcement. Describe what a leader looks like today and what theories and leadership definition support this description. Memorandum Set Up Create a Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) document (no pdf files allowed) using 12-point font. A memo is left justified with no indentations of paragraphs. A memo is single-spaced with a double space between paragraphs to make the memo easy to read. In business, writing must be concise, easy to read and free of writing and grammatical errors. You are required to use in-text citations with an associated reference list. Use headings for each element. It is suggested that you set up the memo with all of the required headings and then fill in each section of the memo. Use a memo format: To: From: Date: Subject: Remember, you are sending this memo to the HR Director so this is a formal memo. Proof the memo carefully for typos, grammatical errors and ensure the memo conveys the points you are to address. Why? Because your work products is a reflection of who you are – it is your brand! A good brand can lead to future opportunities in an organization such as a promotion. Make sure the memo is audience appropriate, concise, coherent, readable, uses appropriate terminology, is professional, provides a factual tone (no opinion and no recommendations), and is visually appealing. Memorandum Requirements You are sending this memo to the HR Director, Judy Janks. Read the memo to ensure all required elements are present. You also need to use facts from the case scenario and course material to support the ideas and reasoning put forth. The language in the announcement has to be just right so that Biotech attracts the best candidates. Therefore, it is important to help Judy capture the essence of a leader at Biotech. Make suggestions about language that should appear in the job announcement that supports the definition and characteristics you derived for the leader of today. Provide an explanation so Judy knows why the specified language is important to convey the definition and characteristics of a leader; Make suggestions about language that would not be in the job announcement for this leader; Provide an explanation why the specific language should not be in the job announcement. Not just anything is acceptable so make sure to read the course material and make wise selections in creating this memo. The following items are required in writing the memo. Check off to ensure compliance to the following requirements. Use the grading rubric while completing the project to ensure all requirements are met that will lead to the highest possible grade. Third person writing is required. Third person means that there are no words such as “I, me, my, we, or us” (first person writing), nor is there use of “you or your” (second person writing). Contractions are not used in business writing, so do not use them. Students will not use direct quotation marks but will instead paraphrase. What this means is that you will put the ideas of an author or article into your own words rather than lifting directly from a source document. You may not use more than four consecutive words from a source document (including the case scenario) or change words in a passage as doing so would require direct quotation marks. Use a passage from a source document by putting into your own words (paraphrase) and attribute the passage to the source document. Changing words from a passage does not exclude the passage from having to have quotation marks. Use in-text citations and provide a reference list that contain a reference associated with each in-text citation.

Where do CFOs get their money news? According to Robert Half International, 47% get their money news from newspapers, 15% get it from communication/colleagues, 12% get it from television, 11% from the Internet, 9% from magazines, 5% from radio, and 1% do not know. Suppose a researcher wants to test these results. She randomly samples 76 CFOs and ?nds that 40 of them get their money news from newspapers. Does the test show enough evidence to reject the ?ndings of Robert Half International? Use a = .05. Make sure you clearly state both the null and the alternative hypotheses in full sentences. Following your calculations, clearly state the conclusion in the same manner (do not simply say “accept/reject null”) and explain how you arrived at this conclusion (based on which metrics).

4. For the Japanese wind lens turbine, the effect of the shroud is to reduce the downstream pressure, e.g., in the rotor wake, say by ?P. Show by modifying the Betz limit, how power production can actually be greater than the Betz limit. Your power production should be a function of a = v4/V. Assume v4 and S4 are known. Get it as close as you can. In the process, recognize that the wind speed at the rotor plane and even in the wake region are greater than the measured wind speed in free stream. Consider the stream tube below. Follow the same methodology used to derive the Betz limit.

(i). Relate all mass flows at each section to the downstream mass flow rate at section 4.

(ii). Apply conservation of mass to relate section areas to S4.

(iii). Apply conservation of linear momentum applied to and Bernouli’s equation to calculate the drag force, D, across the rotor plan.

(iv). Equate these expressions for Drag.

(v). Use conservation of energy to estimate power production as a function of a = v¬4 / V.

(2) Companies like Symantec, McAffee, Trend Micro, Kaspersky, etc. provide enterprise-level malware protection. Choose a major anti-virus company and familiarize yourself with their product line. Using what you learned from your research create an executive presentation of 8-12 PowerPoint slides on the product and on how you would install an enterprise malware solution on a hypothetical network with 50 Windows servers and 2000 Windows 7 computers. Provide sufficient detail about hardware devices and software and where they would be installed. Create a high-level diagram to accompany your proposal that shows the layout of your software. It is not necessary to diagram your complete network, just a high level representation of it. For example, you could represent the 2000 Windows 7 computers with one Icon labeled Windows 7 Workstations (2000). However, if you include a security appliance that provides malware protection, it should be included as a separate icon. Also, indicate location of software components (clients, servers, databases, management tools, etc) on your diagram, as well.

1. Meat, eggs, and dairy are good sources of protein. When you eat these foods, proteins are digested and absorbed. Follow a protein through the digestion process from the mouth through to the intestines. What enzymes are involved in its digestion? What is the smallest unit that proteins are broken down into? Where are these products absorbed?

2. What are a few things proteins are used for in the body once they’ve been absorbed?


3. Once in the body, amino acids are absorbed by our cells and enter the amino acid pool. From here, a cell will draw from the pool to assemble the proteins it needs at that specific time. What will happen if one or more of the essential amino acids are missing?


4. Describe (in your own words) the four structural levels of a protein.


5. What is the relationship between a protein’s structure and its function? Explain how amino acids side chains impact protein structure and function.


6. DNA guides protein assembly. When there is a mutation in our DNA, the impact on the protein can vary. Explain why some mutations can cause no change to the protein and some can completely disrupt the function of the protein.


7. Your body prefers not to use proteins for energy, but it will as a last resort. Explain how amino acids are broken down to generate ATP in this scenario.

8. What happens to the nitrogen portion of the amino acid?


9. Your doctor measures your nitrogen balance and finds it is negative. What does this mean about how your body is using protein? How can you balance out your nitrogen levels?

10. If you decided to become a vegetarian or vegan, how would you ensure you were eating adequate protein? Think about not just the amount, but also the essential amino acids.

11. The RDA for protein is listed below. Calculate your own personal protein requirements and show your work for full credit. You will need to convert your weight to kg. There are 2.2 lbs in 1 kg.

Ex: a 50 kg adult would need 50 kg*0.8 g/kg = 40 g protein per day
