Assignment 2: Required Assignment 1—The S’No Risk ProgramIn the mid-eighties, the Toro company launched a promotion in which snow blower purchasers could refund a portion of their purchase if the next winter brought modest snowfalls. The amount of their refund was tied to snowfall amounts and so, the program was prey to certain risks and uncertainties. You will explore those risks and choices from a variety of perspectives.Review the case study “The Toro Company S’No Risk Program” by David E. Bell (1994) from this module’s assigned readings. to download the Toro Excel worksheet which contains data exhibits from the article; the exhibit titles match the tabs long the bottom of the worksheet. Use this tool to conduct your data analysis for this assignment.Analyze the risks of the program from the following points of view:Write a 6–8-page analysis paper that addresses the following:Submit your analysis paper in Word format.

Assignment 1: What Change Occurs Organizationally?In response to citizens\’ pressure to gain accessibility and increase involvement within the community, a police agency is moving from a traditional and professional model of policing to community-based policing. The leadership decides to train all the personnel in this new philosophy and problem-solving tools. The leadership determines that as part of the implementation of the new philosophy, the departments will start the following programs:Submission Details:

1. Rewrite a your definition of pollution. Inlcude types of pollutants, what is polluted, and specific examples of pollutants.

2. You and your neighbors have learned that an abandoned coal (deep) mine upstream from your neighborhood has collected a sizable pool of acidic water (pH ranges between 3.5-4.0). Heavy rains in the local area caused some subsidence at the mine and a breach of the mine pool resulting in a new point source of pollution to the upper reaches of the stream. Your children have played in that stream with their friends, catching salamanders, crayfish, \”minnows\”, and aquatic \”bugs\”. You, being a biology teacher, have kept a record of the stream fauna over the years. Due to the new threat of pollution to this stream, you and some of your more environmentally-conscious neighbors decide to form an \”action\” group to get the problem corrected. Your group is aware that there are funding sources available for clean-up activities in freshwater streams and rivers. Each funding source proposal requires documentation of the fact that pollution does exist. To satisfy this funding proposal requirement, the \”Save Our Neighborhood Stream\” (or SONS) Group must design and implement an inventory and monitoring program to collect water quality data. But the Group\’s funds are very limited and the local municipality is economically-challenged, as well. Based on this information, design a monitoring program for the stream that will demonstrate if there is a pollution impact, how far the impact reaches downstream, and what stream resources are impacted. HINT: Volunteer organizations such as the Izaac Walton League and Save Our Streams use these monitoring methods to assess stream quality. Check out their websites: Izaac Walton League/Save Our Streams (SOS) at http://www.iwla.org/index.php?id=8 Keep your thinking simple. Remember, you are a biology teacher who has collected baseline data on the stream for the past several years (pre-pollution event).

3. A good example of collaboration between industry and Non-Government Organizations (NGO\’s) that resulted in a \”win/win\” situation is the case of Greenpeace (the NGO) and the Calor Group, manufacturers of refrigerants (CFC\’s and HCFC\’s) that have potential ozone depleting qualities. Greenpeace persuaded the Calor Group to develop a completely ozone \”friendly\” hydrocarbon refrigerant, \”Greenfreeze\”. Greenpeace used its world-wide contacts to promote Calor\’s product resulting in the product being sold and used in China, the fastest-growing refrigerant market in the world. Search those websites and find another case study where collaboration between industry and environmentalists resulted in the satisfaction of both parties (e.g., an environmentally safe/safer product or production method and industry profits). Your case study can involve the development of pollution control methods that resulted in the recovery of some valuable resource for industry while mitigating a serious pollution problem, or any situation where collaboration resulted in both sides being satisfied. Cite your resources correctly according to APA format.

Even the most superficial of presentations calls for some kind of preparation. An “elevator speech,” which summarizes a topic in minutes, if not seconds, calls for lightning thought and reflexive application of the rhetorical triangle, grammar, outlining, content knowledge, and logic as you are standing there. For more elaborate and considered presentations, you should reflect on your topic and on the implications and potential for your message. If presenting yourself, you want to be seen as a mature professional and in the best light. If presenting discipline-related material, you want to be seen as a mature and reflective professional, who has not only laid out a mechanical and logical outline of the material, but who has linked the material, with meaning, to the audience.For this Individual Project, you will create a sentence outline for a presentation and informally share your ideas for approaching the visual elements of a presentation.Using your thoughts from earlier in the course and your elevator speech ideas, create a sentence outline for a 10-minute presentation about a discipline-related topic in which you propose a small project or professional action to an audience of mid-level executives.The outline should indicate the flow and content for your anticipated presentation.Incorporate an introduction of yourself, and link your background, experience, goals, and education to the topic. Imagine that the audience has not met you or that they do not know you very well. Assume that your own strengths and abilities, including your university studies, will be key and important to the success of your proposal for the project. Be sure the outline reflects solid organization and process.
