The project management office or project office (PMO) is concerned that the MobileGo project is behind schedule and in danger of being late. Assume that a project meeting has been scheduled so that you and your project team can propose a course of action to reduce the project schedule. The PMO has provided your team with a project simulation data spreadsheet (Attached).
To prepare for this PMO meeting, carry out the following:
Analyze the data provided in the spreadsheet and calculate at least two options for crashing the schedule.
Identify likely risks associated with your revised schedule as well as your strategy for their mitigation.
Evaluate concerns associated with the motivation of the team given the increase in project complexity, the additional overtime, and the high-pressure environment that the team is likely to face.
Explain the steps you will take as project manager to hold the team together and keep it functioning despite the difficulty.
Using the information garnered in items 1 through 4, write a response on what you can say during the PMO meeting. What is your proposed course of action?
Your response should be a minimum of one page in length.

13-31. The Alfredo Fragrance Company produces only one product, a perfume called Hint of Elegance. Hint of Elegance consists of two secret ingredients blended into an exclusive fragrance, which is marketed in Zurich. An economic expression referred to as the Cobb-Douglas function describes the production of Hint of Elegance as follows:
Where X is the amount of perfume produced.
The company operates at a level where ingredient 1 is set daily at 25 units and ingredient 2 at 36 units. Although the price Alfredo pays for ingredient 1 is fixed at $50 per unit, the cost of ingredient 2 and the selling price for the final perfume are both probabilistic. The sales price for Hint of Elegance follows this distribution:

The cost for ingredient 2 is

“Project Oxygen” Resuscitates Google’s Poor-Performing Bosses Google, a leader i

“Project Oxygen” Resuscitates Google’s Poor-Performing Bosses Google, a leader in data analysis, recently decided to use its expertise to improve its HRM function by studying its supervisors. The researchers wanted to determine if they could build better bosses, as it was believed that high employee turnover was due to unsatisfactory relationships with their supervisors. Project Oxygen gathered data from performance reviews, employee surveys, interviews, and observations of supervisors’ behaviors. The study yielded valuable information, revealing that the best bosses were those who were even-tempered, helped their employees solve problems without micromanaging, and showed a genuine interest in their well-being. Google used the information to develop training programs to improve its worst-performing managers.
For this assignment, you will search for academic journals, books, and articles on “Project Oxygen” and its implications for HRM and organizational behavior. You will write a short reflection paper answering the following questions:
1. Why is not having the greatest technical expertise the key to being a good supervisor at Google?
2. Does Google’s research on the performance of its managers surprise you? Why or why not?
3. How does the information gathered from Project Oxygen support or challenge traditional HRM practices?
4. How can other organizations use Project Oxygen’s findings to improve their HRM functions?
You should aim to use at least five sources in your paper, including both academic journal articles and books. Your paper should be well-written, clear, and concise and show evidence of critical thinking and analysis. Please use the proper APA citation style in your paper.

Module 09: Critical Thinking Assignment
How Starbucks Convinced Indians to Embrace Coffee
In Chapters 8 and 9, we reviewed several types of global expansion strategies a company can undertake when entering new markets. For this assignment, you will read a case study about Starbucks’ expansion into the Indian market (p. 413 in the textbook).
A case study is a puzzle to be solved, so before reading and answering the specific questions, develop your proposed solution by following these five steps:
Read the case study to identify the key issues and underlying issues. These issues are the principles and concepts of the course module, which apply to the situation described in the case study.
Record the facts from the case study which are relevant to the principles and concepts of the module. The case may have extraneous information not relevant to the current module. Your ability to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information is an important aspect of case analysis, as it will inform the focus of your answers.
Describe in some detail the actions that would address or correct the situation.
Consider how you would support your solution with examples from experience or current real-life examples or cases from textbooks.
Complete this initial analysis and then read the discussion questions. Typically, you will already have the answers to the questions but with a broader consideration. At this point, you can add the details and/or analytical tools required to solve the case.
Respond to, and make decisions, based on the following questions:
What inspired Starbucks to venture into India? What were some of the company’s early concerns and other obstacles?
How would you describe Starbucks’ approach to entering India and how Starbucks was influenced by cultural differences to adapt its offerings for the Indian market?
Why did Starbucks want to enter India through a joint venture? Specifically, what benefits did Starbucks and the Tara Group both gain by partnering with one another? What synergies were present? What conflicts occurred and how were they resolved?
Now, assume the role of the Director of Starbucks’ Indian strategic planning team. You have been tasked to explore the benefits and challenges of expansion into foreign countries through joint-venture partnerships. Describe the opportunities, benefits, and concerns that Starbucks might face by doing so. Summarize the cultural environment, choose an entry strategy from the text, and describe how you would implement this entry strategy. Make sure you are very detailed in your explanation.
Based on the lessons learned from Starbucks case study, what lessons would you apply to those implementing Saudi Vision 2030 as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia embarks on this multi-year strategy to attract multinational corporations?
Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:
Be 5-6 pages in length, which does not include the title page, abstract, or required reference page, which is never a part of the content minimum requirements.
Use Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards and APA (7th ed) style guidelines.
Support your submission with course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook and at least four scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles.
Review the grading rubric to see how you will be graded for this assignment.
