Prompt: In a thematic literature review, the author discusses the extant literature based around specific themes. A state-of-the-art literature review looks at the most recent literature in the field, typically published in the past five years. Select one of the Debates and Extensions from Chapter 1 or 2 in the textbook (Peng, 2022). Construct a thematic state-of-the-art literature review to present the current status of the debate. The point here is to focus on the literature that will capture the current thinking in the peer-reviewed scholarly literature. You may include a backdrop of classical global strategy literature, but the primary focus should be on articles published in the past five years.
o Requirements: 12-14 pages of text (approximately 3000-3500 words). The page length does not include the title page and reference pages.

Monitoring technical advancements is crucial for an effective Executive Program Manager. From a strategic viewpoint, a thorough understanding of the technical aspects or regulations pertinent to a mission is essential for an EPM. The EPM oversees the project managers for each separate project. Thus, it is vital for the EPM to assess technical progress to ensure that project timelines and budgetary restrictions are being minimized as much as possible (Environmental Protection Agency, 2010). In my opinion, communicating effectively is among the most significant skills an EPM should have. The EPM is responsible for handling critical information that must be communicated clearly to the managers of individual projects and senior leadership. If the EPM lacks the necessary communication skills, there is a risk that the mission could be at stake (Fischetti, 2015).
In my perspective, the ability to communicate stands out as a crucial skill for an Executive Program Manager (EPM). The EPM must effectively disseminate vital information to the managers overseeing individual projects and upper management. A lack of communication proficiency could lead to potential risks to the mission’s success (Fischetti, 2015).
In addition to the previously mentioned key concepts for an effective EPM, an Executive Program Manager should be able to pinpoint the deliverables needed for the missions they manage and be adept at executing tasks related to procuring these deliverables. For instance, the Executive Program Manager should be able to specify and outline the requirements for goods or services. The EPM is also expected to be competent in developing acquisition strategies, formulating purchase requests, and drafting performance work statements. Furthermore, the EPM should have the expertise to propose evaluation criteria and assess proposals.

In a complex, multicultural business environment, it is important that business professionals adhere to ethical standards throughout their daily activities. The goal of this course is to introduce you to concepts and guidelines for ethical courses of actions in business. In order to assess understanding, you will analyze the ethical and socially responsible courses of action for the business scenario below. You will take on the role of human resources (HR) director of the firm to discuss the situation, propose ethical guidelines for the organization, and analyze possible solutions to address the ethical dilemma for the company.
SCENARIO
TechFite, a British company that produces high-technology goods, recently began production of its innovative recreational equipment in its first U.S. factory in Dellberg. TechFite is widely known for its culture of workplace collaboration and leadership development. Additionally, the company culture encourages employee empowerment and engagement in corporate decision making. The company also prides itself on being actively involved in the communities in which they have a presence.
As the human resources (HR) director of the new factory in Dellberg, you soon realize there are financial obstacles that must be addressed as it relates to hourly employees. The budgeting process has constrained the amount of funding available to provide full-time employee benefits, and hours have been reduced to keep many employees classified as part-time. The HR department needs to develop policies to address the legal and cultural differences between the United States and the United Kingdom pertaining to hours and benefits. As the HR director, you are grappling with the ethical obligations to your employees and the limited funds available. Upon a review of the budget, excessive bonuses are being paid out to top executives.
During one of the company’s presentations to the Dellberg city council, commitments were made to sponsor community events, to support local youth leadership development programs, and to invest in infrastructure to aid in the rebuilding of the city of Dellberg utilizing environmentally responsible techniques. Up to this point, these commitments have not been addressed or funded by TechFite. The leadership team realizes the importance of community involvement, and this commitment is central to their corporate culture. A plan needs to be developed to meet the company’s corporate social responsibility to the city.
While residents of the city were excited about the company’s investment and the opportunity for new jobs in a bankrupt city, relationships quickly began to deteriorate when employees began to complain about wages, benefits, and weekly hours that fell far below the 40 hours necessary to receive full-time benefits under company policies. In addition, the company is not fulfilling the commitments it made to city officials about community involvement.
As part of its launch into the United States, TechFite realizes that corporate actions must be consistent with company culture to gain acceptance. Two primary focuses will be making this a great place to work and developing a strong presence as a company that is good for the community.
A.  Create three corporate policies that reflect the organization’s culture and ethical viewpoints.
1.  Explain the rationale behind the policies, including how they align with the organization’s culture.
2.  Distinguish between ethical and legal issues.
3.  Analyze the ethical issues at stake in the scenario (e.g., conflict of interest, misuse of resources, whistleblowing).
4.  Describe the purpose of the ethics officer.
B.  Describe corporate social responsibility and how it applies to the scenario.
1.  Explain the ethical desirability of improving the company’s reputation in the community based on the scenario. The explanation should include three supporting examples of what the company has done or failed to do that has harmed its image in the community.
2.  Describe an ethically, socially, and environmentally responsible course of action to address each example from part B1 based on the company’s culture and core values.
3.  Explain how the course of action from part B2 is ethically, socially, and environmentally responsible.
C.  Acknowledge sources, using in-text citations and references, for content that is quoted, paraphrased, or summarized.
D.  Demonstrate professional communication in the content and presentation of your submission.

Please take the names from the ECV schedule and mark how many times each person has gone on a trip. Virtual days do not matter. To do that I need the names separated by North and South. According to the “QCG phone list” Excel sheet, you can see which name is in which group. To see which trips you need to correspond, look under the “FY24 ECV Schedule and Personelle Assignments”. To be clear I need the Excel sectioned into a North and South division with the names corresponding to whoever is in whichever group along with a tally next to their name to account for how many times they’ve been on a trip. However, you deem it appropriate to section it.
