as in week one, answer in the follow-up questions for the CEO:
Directions:
1. By
FRIDAY, complete the following:
Explain your understanding of job performance and why it is important to a sustainable organization.

performance
as they move towards this goal. Be specific as to types of performance.
Explain your understanding of job commitment and why it is important to a sustainable organization.
Given the future vision of Virginia Meats Inc., its history and current status from the company profile, identify three areas that might challenge the employee’s
commitment
as they move towards this goal. Be specific as to types of commitment.
Discuss how your role as manager relates to job performance and commitment. How will this role be challenged in the future workplace? Give three examples.
You must use course material to support your responses and APA in-text citations with a reference list.
2.
THROUGHOUT
the week, complete the following:
Respond to your classmates
three
or more days throughout the week. Remember you are trying to develop the best answers to the questions as possible. Your classmates are doing the same so read the posts carefully looking for the best ideas being presented.
The goal is that by the end of the week the class will come to some consensus
as to the best answers giving you the chance to submit the best ideas in the final post.
You must use course material to
support
your responses but you do not need to use APA in the brainstorming discussion with the exception of Fridays initial first impression post.
Participation is worth 2.5 points each week (20
% of the final grade). Participation must be reflected in the final post so grades will be affected by the content portion of the post if participation is not shown. Therefore, it is important to get in the class often and with the idea of improving your initial
post with the discussion so that the final grade will be the best you can deliver.
3. FINAL POST,
complete the following:
Attach your final post in the classroom by Monday at 11:59 p.m. ET.
The final post
must
reflect the brainstorming activities and should be different than your Friday initial post.
The final post must include a variety of sources from the class material as well as the use of scenario or case study facts where appropriate.
It must USE APA in-text citations and reference list.
Brainstorming is a technique that seeks to
collect a myriad of ideas about a problem in an effort to find a unique and often innovative way of handling the solution. It can also be a way of collecting information about a situation or produce feedback about a particular topic.
Brainstorming works very simply with only
three rules: No idea is too far fetched, all ideas are to be accepted by the group for consideration, and the ideas must focus on the topic presented for discussion not whether the idea
will work or not. Obviously, many ideas will be discounted later on when constraints like budget or implementation impossibilities may block its consideration
for successful implementation. However, for the purpose of this
discussion focus only on suggesting ideas from the class material and research which will answer the topic under discussion. Use the following template for your memo format:
