To understand more about how childhood experiences with your family have influenced current identification of self, take a few minutes and think back to those days.Analyze the role that family structure, expectations, parenting styles, and involvement of caregivers played in your development.Reflect on your experiences and share any that you are comfortable sharing. You can use questions such as the following to guide your reflection:What was the best thing that your family said about you or did for you? Try to remember one exact day when that was said or done for you. Which person did this? Remember now what you felt then. When do you feel this way now?Did you have a nickname? How did you feel about it?Did family members tell you what you would end up being or doing? Was it what you wanted to be or do? How did you respond?How do you think your family would have described you to a close friend of theirs? What were they most concerned about for you?Would you do or react to things differently now than you did then? Why?Make sure you evaluate your experiences in the context of major theories and concepts of cognitive, social, and physical development during middle childhood. Support your responses by citing information from the online notes and textbook and other scholarly sources.For example, describe the cognitive stage you might have been in at the time of specific events, according to Piaget, Erikson, or Freud. How did this influence how you interpreted the events? You can also discuss the parenting style that you think was used by your parents/caregivers.Write a 34-page paper in Word format.

Individual Reflection: Stakeholder Support for Innovative IdeasTruly i

Individual Reflection: Stakeholder Support for Innovative IdeasTruly innovative ideas are often met with resistance. Consider the large number of record labels and musicians who were initially opposed to the idea of selling digital music rather than physical CDs. Many record labels feared copyright violations or thought that no effective and reliable distribution method could be established, while many artists worried that the low price of digital music files would hurt their income. Ultimately, this resistance was overruled as the digital music revolution proved profitable and pushed musicians, labels, and consumers to adapt to the new ways music could be accessed, distributed, and purchased. How do you think the early years of digital music distribution might have gone differently if all the stakeholders in the music industry supported the innovation? This week’s Individual Reflection will help you examine the influence of stakeholder support on innovative ideas.For this Individual Reflection, identify a plan that you would like to implement within the next few months. Perhaps you are working on a plan toward achieving a goal in your personal or professional life, or maybe there is another, more short-term goal that you need a bit of extra help to achieve. Whether it is within the workplace or a personal area, consider how an innovation might span more than one department, function, or group. Consider your stakeholders as an Innovative Team. There will be stakeholders who seem willing to support your plan, are neutral to your plan, and a few who might be resistant to or against your plan.Note:Consider the rubric and the expectations for exemplary work for this and all of your course assignments. Often, an exemplary level of work is considered innovative in the workplace. Using this mindset, complete the aspects of this Individual Reflection as if you are preparing a stakeholder report for a leader at your company (or a company with which you are familiar), a mentor, or a community leader.In the solution development stage of the creative process, you will be taking your time to analyze and test several alternative solutions. You will be adjusting and analyzing potential solutions, all the while moving your team toward convergence. Using the text, consider Chapters 20 and 21 that includes the POINt tool and the Stakeholder Analysis tool (Applegate) which provide ideas and techniques to devise creative solutions. Also consider Long (2010) who emphasizes the importance of engaging stakeholders in meaningful ways to achieve project goals.

write at least 6-7 pages. APA plagiarisam no more than 15% Hunter Business Group: TeamTBADas Narayandas; Elizabeth CaputoDescriptionThe Hunter Business Group (HBG), a direct marketing consulting firm specializing in reorganizing the sales and marketing efforts of industrial firms, uses integrated customer contact technologies (including field sales, telephone, and mail) as a means of revolutionizing the face of business-to-business (b2b) direct marketing. The firm operates under the theory that a seller’s communications provide genuine value to a customer, and that successful direct marketing programs result in solid relationships, high retention rates, and increased profitability for the customer. This case highlights, in detail, HBG’s implementation of its approach for Star Oil’s tire, battery, and accessory (TBA) business that has been facing declining market share and profitability in the face of ever-increasing competition.Questions:What do you think of HBGs approach? Do you agree with the approach of managing costs given a revenue target, or do you think there is something wrong with this approach? Explain.How important are direct marketing mechanisms in the B2B context here?How important is the Gold Account program as an incentive to the dealers? To what extent can dealers be persuaded to purchase a wider variety of products?What is the tradeoff between eliminating salesforce people and the likely corresponding dropoff in contacts made as a result? Who would you eliminatefield reps, telesales operators, or mail personnel? Explain.

LASA 2 Identity FormationWe have learned that adolescence is a time of transition between childhood and adulthood. A critical milestone of this stage is the ability to successfully achieve a sense of identity. Around the world, there are different rites of passage to mark the transition to adulthood. In the United States, this might include obtaining a driver’s license, landing one’s first job, senior prom, or high school graduation. In this assignment, we will explore the role that family and society play in the development of the individual’s sense of self.By Week 5, Day 5, create two documents for parents of minority teens 1) A 912-slide PowerPoint presentation (complete with speaker’s notes) and 2) an accompanying 12-page handout/flier in Word document or PDF format. Be sure that both illustrate the following:Describe common rites of passage from two cultures around the world and compare them to a common American rite of passage. Possible resources might includeNational Geographic and the Argosy University Online Library.Compare and contrast these rites to common US rites of passage. Do they coincide with the physical, cognitive, or socioemotional changes taking place at this age? Describe which specific changes (physical, cognitive, or socioemotional) they coincide with. Does this explain their importance in a particular culture?How might such a social ritual, such as a rite of passage, influence the identity formation process of adolescents?In light of Erikson and Marcia’s theories, discuss how the process of identity development is affected when the adolescent belongs to a minority group (racial, ethnic, sexual, or religious). Be sure to explain these theories and how they apply to identity development.Summarize research from at least two peer-reviewed* studieson the effect of minority status on identity development, ensuring you describe the main findings of the study as well as the research methods used to study the topic. Apply the information you gathered from the online notes, textbook, and research articles to provide at least three practical recommendations for what the family, school, and community can do to ease the process for adolescents.
