Read the “Stories of Change” section in Chapter 1 of the textbook that describes how companies such as Hewlett Packard, IBM, Kodak, and McDonald’s have addressed significant changes within their organizations.

Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you: Using Kotter’s model, identify the three (3) most significant errors made out of all of the change stories presented and describe the ramifications of those mistakes. Make at least one (1) recommendation for each change story that would have improved the effectiveness of the change process and explain why that recommendation would have altered the outcome of the change process. Attribute a change image to the leading managers or directors in each change story and provide an explanation as to why that change image label is appropriate. Recommend a different strategy for managing change in each of the one change stories presented and provide a justification for your recommended strategy. Use at least three (3) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources. Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements: Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length. The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are: Compare theories of change management and select an appropriate theory for an organization change. Evaluate the reactions to change including identifying signs of resistance and approaches to managing it. Use technology and information resources to research issues in managing organizational change. Write clearly and concisely about managing organizational change using proper writing mechanics.

Chapter 1 of the Palmer textbook presents change management as both a creative and rational process. Provide at least two examples of how the change process is both a creative and rational process using the change stories presented in Chapter 1 of the Palmer textbook. From the change failure in Chapter 1 identify the most significant change failure that was made in one of the organizations. Fully explain your answer.

•The U.S. taxes a wide variety of international transactions. Propose how the U.S. might enforce the collection of taxes on international transactions. •Analyze the principles of international taxation. Based on your analysis, construct an argument for the elimination of international taxation and the resulting impact on foreign trade.

Source Rules” Please respond to the following:

•You are the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of a multinational corporation. Suggest a strategy to minimize the tax impact on foreign sourced income. Support your strategy with examples. •You are a CPA working as a tax professional who was bribed by a U.S.-based multi-national company to help that company avoid paying income on U.S.-sourced income. Develop a scheme for the company to avoid tax on U.S.-based income so that it would likely not be discovered by the IRS.

Haier is a China-based multinational corporation that sells a wide variety of commercial and household appliances in the international marketplace. These range from washers, dryers, refrigerators, and industrial heating and ventilations systems. Visit www.Haier.com and read about some of the latest developments in which the company is engaged: Consider and explain the strategies for managing across cultures facing Haier, when referring to the “Haier’s Approach”. Complete this assignment by answering the following questions: 1) What type of cultural challenges does Haier face when it attempts to market its products worldwide? Is demand universal for all these offerings, or is there a “national responsiveness” challenge, as described in the chapter, that must be addressed? 2) Investigate the way in which Haier has adapted its products in different countries and regions, especially emerging markets. What are some examples? 3) In managing its far-flung enterprise, what are two cultural challenges that the company is likely to face and what will it need to do to respond to these? 2-3 Pages

When considering entering a market of specific industry there has to be a need for facility or service in order to be successful. TheMounta in View Assisted Living case demonstrated key strategy considerations of a unique market. What were the strengths, opportunities, weaknesses and threats associated with the proposed assisted living facility? Discuss what some of the key elements in the marketing mix (i.e. product, price, place, and promotion) which would be particularly important to consider? If you were James, would you do the project? Explain.

A solid sphere whose diameter is 3.5 ft weighs 600 lb. The mass moment of inertia of the sphere with respect to a horizontal line through its center of gravity is A. 22.8 slug-fr’. B. 28.5 slug-ff. C. 36.0 slug-ft 2 . D. 45.6 slug-ft 2 .

A solid wheel is being rolled toward the right along a horizontal surface by a force whose line of action is horizontal. The diameter of the wheel is 2.5 ft, the wheel weighs 80 lb, and the magnitude of the force is 15 lb. If the friction force is sufficient to prevent slipping of the wheel on the supporting surface, the magnitude of the linear acceleration of the center of gravity would be A. 3.22 fps per sec. C. 5.15 fps per sec. B. 4.03 fps per sec. D. 6.44 fps per sec.

As indicated in Examination Figure 5, a solid cylindrical disk is caused to rotate about a stationary axis, which passes through the center of gravity of the disk. The force that produces rotation is applied to the rim of the disk by means of a cable, which is wound around the disk and is attached to a body. The radius of the disk is 2.5 ft, the weight of the disk is 800 lb, and the weight of the body is 300 lb. When the body is supported in the position shown, the body and the disk are at rest. If the support tor the body is taken away, the disk will rotate without friction while the body moves downward under the action of its weight. The angular velocity of the disk after the body has moved 5 tt from the position shown would be A. 3. 70 rad per sec. C. 5.70 rad per sec. B. 4.70 rad per sec. D. 6.70 rad per sec.

Blocks 1 and 2 in Examination Figure 6 are connected by a cable, which passes over a sheave. Block 1 slides along a horizontal surface under the action of a horizontal force applied by the cable when block 2 is permitted to fall vertically through the air. Block 1 weighs 120 lb, block 2 weighs 50 lb, the coefficient of friction for the materials of block 1 and the supporting surface is 0.3, and friction in the sheave can be neglected. At the instant at which the blocks were in the positions shown, the magnitude of the velocity of each block was 5 fps. After block 2 has moved 3 ft downward from the position shown, the magnitude of the velocity of each block would be A. 6.40 fps. C. 7.04 fps. B. 6.75 fps. D. 7.30 fps.

The diameter of a solid wheel is 3.5 ft, and its weight is 60 lb. The wheel is rolled toward the left along a horizontal surface under the action of a horizontal force whose magnitude is 20 lb. If the friction force is sufficient to prevent slipping, what is the magnitude of the linear acceleration of the center of gravity of the wheel? A.. 3.21 fps per sec B. 5.32 tps per sec C. 7.16 fps per sec D. 8.15 fps per sec
