___________________
WRTG 394 students,
This discussion topic is designed to help you consider a problem in your workplace or community and to design strategies in communicating about it. This discussion topic might help you approach your final research-based report in WRTG 394.
First, please access and read through the following articles about communication inhibitors. (Each title is a link to the article):
Dr. K. Usha Rani, “Communication Barriers”
Lumen Learning, “Communication Barriers”
Then, respond to this discussion topic by completing the following tasks:
Please think of an example of a problem with communication in your workplace or your community. Then answer the following five questions with regard to that problem. Post your answers to this discussion topic. What is the specific problem with communication?
Does the problem represent an example of one of the barriers that the articles that Dr. Rani and Lumen Learning identify? If so, which one(s)?
What are some possible communication strategies in notifying someone about the problem?
What is the best course of action for you to take in solving the problem?
What is the best way for you to communicate this problem to the relevant individuals?
__________________________
An example of how to respond to this discussion topic is the following:
1. What is the specific problem with communication?
I am on a committee at work. There are five members of the committee. However, three of the members telework two days a week, and, as a result, we can never meet face-to-face. Our meetings are not very productive because some of us are in the room during the meeting while some of us are on the phone during the meeting. 2. Does the problem represent an example of one of the barriers that the articles by Dr. Rani and Lumen Learning identify? If so, which one(s)?
Yes. This is an example of a channel barrier. The medium chosen for our type of communication — online meeting software — is not suitable or appropriate for our context.
3. What are some possible communication strategies in notifying someone about the problem?
I could email my supervisor, who formed the committee.
4. What is the best course of action for you to take in solving the problem?
Our committee was formed for a specific duration of time. We have two months remaining for our committee. I think we should arrange for everyone to be in the office on the same day each week for this two months. We could hold our committee meetings on that day of the week. This arrangement would solve the problem in that we would all be physically in the room for the meeting.
5. What is the best way for you to communicate this problem to the relevant individuals?
A series of messages would be preferred in this case. They would be the following:
I could send an email message to my supervisor. In that email message, I would note the following:
how many times we have met
what types of communication problems have occurred during our meetings that have caused the meetings to be less than productive
I could then outline a plan for having everyone in the office one day during the week so that we could hold our meetings on that day.

This communication plan will become part of your Week 9 assignment. Complete the communication plan activity using this template Download this template.

Discussion:
This week you read the case study: Making the Right Moves? The NFL and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Coach and Executive Hiring. You are also completing a communication plan activity that will be part of your Week 9 assignment.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs can enhance organizations’ competitive position and brand perception. In the case study you are asked to assume the role of a consultant in helping to make the NFL’s commitments around DEI impactful and effectively communicating their resolve in enacting organizational change.
How can the NFL foster a culture that actively supports and promotes the growth of minority and women coaches and executives within the organization? Support your response with specific examples from the case study.
Discuss 2 communication strategies you would recommend to the NFL to discover unconscious bias and create buy-in for DEI efforts.
How might you use this approach when implementing DEI principles for your chosen company?
Provide a substantive response to one or more of your classmates
Replying to: Sherita Seabron
Hello Professor and class,
To foster a culture that actively supports and promotes the growth of minority and woman coaches and executives within the organization, I would recommend the following:
Creating a DEI team- this should include hiring a Chief Diversity Officer (CDO) and additional supporting team to oversee everything pertaining to diversity. From development of strategies and initiatives, overseeing of all things pertaining to diversity needs to ensure fairness and accountability within the NFL organization.
Establishing Mentorship Programs- the NFL would utilize experienced coaches and executives to mentor minority and woman who inspire to advance in their career with guidance, network opportunities and support.
Implement a continued Inclusive Work Environment- Ensure that all employees feel valued, respected, and treated fairly within the workplace. This should include continued diversity training, workshops, and initiatives.
Two communication strategies I would recommend to the NFL to discover unconscious bias and create buy-in for DEI efforts would be:
Training and Education- Ensuring mandatory unconscious bias training for all employees within the NFL from the executives, coaches, players to the janitorial team. No one should be exempt from receiving diversity and educational training to ensure the message is clearly communicated.
Communication- This can be accomplished by providing continued open communication focusing on DEI efforts. Through town halls, a forum of storytelling, personal testimonies, newsletters, etc. Any of these will be great opportunities for employees to share their experiences on the ongoing commitment within the NFL organization to continue fostering successful DEI initiatives.
By utilizing this same approach when implementing DEI principles for Designer Brands, Inc this will enhance their current strategies and initiatives in place to ensure all employees continue to feel respected, valued, equal and supported within the culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion..

Imagine that you are designing a portfolio investment strategy proposal that is going to be implemented and offered to potential investors/elients of a fund. In this group project, you have to write a portfolio investment strategy proposal. You will have to do your own research to construct and find an interesting portfolio.
You will need to provide a detailed explanation of the chosen portfolio investment strategy, discussing its advantages and disadvantages. Argue why your selected strategy outperforms alternative options. Replicate and backtest the proposed strategy to support your arguments. The write-up should be concise and to the point, with a maximum of 2,000 words.
Address and justify the following questions:
1. Why should the investor follow your portfolio investment strategy over others? Specify if you propose an active, passive, or hybrid approach and explain your reasoning.
2. Quantify the expected excess return, volatility, Sharpe ratio, and other relevant performance measures for your strategy.
3. Is your portfolio investment strategy delivering alpha? Assess whether it exploits a mispric-ing that will be arbitraged away or provides compensation for risk.
4. Quantify the strategy’s performance using risk factor exposures. In other words, estimate alphas and betas using the CAPM and Fama-French three-factor model. Interpret the results.
5. What are the main costs associated with implementing your portfolio investment strategy?
6. Conduct a performance attribution analysis on your portfolio.

Introduction
“A feasibility analysis is a chance to open your eyes, ask yourself some very tough questions, and then check to see whether your idea, as originally conceived, needs to be modified, refocused, or changed dramatically. (Or perhaps even scrapped altogether.)” (1).
Overview
With this assignment, you will be addressing the fundamental question: Does this business have profit potential?
Instructions
Refer to the same business you described in the first assignment, creating a Small Business, and write a 3–4-page paper in which you:
Conduct a feasibility analysis by researching and analyzing each of the following topics and indicate how your business occupies that specific space:
Industry and market feasibility.
Product or service feasibility.
Financial feasibility.
Entrepreneurial readiness.
Explain whether the business idea needs to be modified, changed significantly, or abandoned based on your feasibility analysis. (Note: If you abandon the business idea, then you will need to select and analyze a new business that has profit potential.)
Include at least two references outside the textbook. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the Strayer Library or review the Bachelor of Business Administration Library Guide.
This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The library is your home for SWS assistance, including citations and formatting. Please refer to the Library site for all support. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
Conduct a feasibility analysis to determine whether a business plan is plausible.

Hypothetical Case Simulation:
You are the CEO of business (in an industry you will select) that is considering a new AI application called Dublin-10, to automate a system and bring efficiency to operations. An ROI study has convinced you this innovation will enable the business to eventually save costs and almost immediately expand production. However, it also will result in elimination of some employees’ job duties and at the same time increase other needed work. To avoid having to lay off employees whose work will change as a result of this innovation, you plan to roll out a retraining program for affected employees, as well as conduct the training required for the Dublin-10. None of this has been announced to employees.
As the business’ leader, prepare the following prompt. 1. The hypothethical is purposely generic. For your response, choose a specific industry and business for this case (use the auto industry). In a sentence or two, for context, describe the business. 2. You have done the ROI, determined need, and impact on workforce job duties. What else should you consider? There are several management concerns when implementing change, but for this Discussion explain at least 2 other planning concerns or actions you should cover specifically relating to your business’ implementation of the new AI, Dublin-10? (Approximately 250-300 words.)
