Option 1 . Review with NetAcad
As part of Discussion Board #4 assignment, students should have accounts on the NetAcad. If revision required, please identify 10-12 areas from NetAcad, and ask them to review . To earn grade for this assignment, students will perform those steps from NetAcad and submit a document in canvas ( week14.netAcad.doc ) with all screen captures .
Create a sсrіpt using name week14.sh (note: don’t forget shebang and execute permission) and test it with an echo. Print “My Name – Your Name!” on the screen — Replace ‘Your Name’ with your First and Last Name ( 10)
Modify the sсrіpt from step 1 to include a variable. The variable will hold the contents of the message “My Name Your Name!” screen — Replace ‘Your Name’ with your First and Last Name ( 10)
Store the output of the command “hostname” in a variable. Display “This sсrіpt is running on _.” where “_” is the output of the “hostname” command. You will see your machine ( 10)
Display all NOVA campus names “AL”,”AN”,”LO”,”MA”,”Wo”,and “MEC” on the screen with each appearing on a separate line. Try not to allow any gap between the lines. (20)
Add a function in this sсrіpt that will display the number of files in the present working directory. Name this function “no_of_files” and call this function in your sсrіpt. If you use variable in your function, remember to make it a local variable ( hint : use ls ) ( 40)
Modify the sсrіpt from step 5 and make the “no_of_files” function accept a directory as an argument. Next, have the function display the name of the directory followed by a dash ( -) Finally display the number of files to the screen on the next line. Call the function at least three times. First on the “/usr” directory, next on the “/lib” Directory and finally on the “/etc” directory. (40)
Final Project Requirement and Grading Guideline
Perform analyses using the case material of Pixysystems and create a pervasive communication using the storyboarding approach.
• Pixystems Case Material
• Pixystems Dataset
• PWC storyboarding materials (7 files)
• Prepare a deck (i.e., PPT) to deliver ONE key message of your choice.
• Support your key message with at least three data analyses. You may perform your analyses using Excel or Tableau. Your slides should only include the results of the data analyses (not how you performed the analyses), presented in a professional manner.
• Submit separate file(s), such as excel or tableau files, to show how you perform the analyses, so that the grader can evaluate the appropriateness of your analyses.
• The deck is sent to your audience as a standalone document. Without your narration or explanation, your audience should still able to understand your message.
Interview or Fieldwork + Analysis. Conduct an in-depth interview (30-45 minutes long) or 1 hour of participant observation that addresses themes from the health and technology module. Present and analyze your data using at least three concepts from the module you select for this assignment. Format: 3 double-spaced pages or a 4 to 5 minute video or narrated PowerPoint presentation + a transсrіpt/recording of the interview or 1-2 pages of field notes. – concepts of the module are Biotechnology, Genetic Testing and Personalized Medicine, and Personal Health Technology

Assessment Task 1 Details
Using a key case study of your choice develop a written assignment (report style) to critically analyse the following question:
How much can employees influence the balance of power in contemporary employment relationships?
Instructions to students:
USE THESE TO HELP YOU DEVELOP THE AIM AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSESSMENT TO ANSWER THE ABOVE QUESTION
The word count for this assignment is 2500 (+/- 10%). This does not include citations and references. To help you develop your assignment please include the following elements:
1. Introduction: Outline which key organisation you have chosen to develop your analysis on.
2. Evaluate the current context of employment relations. These are issues which impact on your chosen organisation and should include areas such as the UK economic, political, legal and social issues which contribute to emerging and growing employment issues that may affect this corporation.
3. Outline the key concepts (i.e. unitarist, pluralist, and radical HRM). These are employment relations concepts which determine how the employment relationships in this corporation are managed.
4. Evaluate the role of key actors and stakeholders in the employment relationship. These are different stakeholders whose role will impact on the employment relations environment in your chosen organisation. This may include the role of trade unions, employer and other work-related associations or wider diverse communities. Draw attention to, and critically discuss, any issues of conflict or recent collective struggles which exist in this corporation. This may include systemic issues of precarity, pay and diversity (i.e. gender, race etc) where there is some form of employee resistance. Ensure that you discuss this in relation to relevant UK/EU legislation which add possible conflicts to the employment relations environment in your assignment.
5. Recommendations and Conclusion. In the final part you must discuss how as a lead HR or Management specialist you would advise an employer to address the key major workplace inequalities that you have noted in your discussion. Please address how you would you recommend the chosen organisation to address this particular issue to ensure they create a fairer, engaged, healthier and productive workforce.
To support these sections, you must use peer-reviewed journal articles, relevant government or recognised statistics, current EU/UK law and wider professional reports to develop your argument. Word count: 2500 (+/- 10%).
You may use an appendices. Keep this light touch. We are not asking you to write a thesis.
Suggested structure / word count break down:
We have been asked to provide a guide on how to break the assessment down.
Below I offer the following brief advice, which may be adapted, as I have below. This is how I may approach this. Please note we do not read drafts.
Remember – You are the lead author. Ensure that in each section you set out the parameters of the discussion ( TELL US WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO WRITE ABOUT!). Use key academic journal articles as a guide/template. They often use phrases like “In this section I will focus on X, Y and Z”. • Introduction: 150 words
This section should introduce the case study organisation (i.e., NHS, Amazon, etc). You should give a brief overview of the organisation, the sector they operate in (i.e. retail, service, etc) and some idea of how successful they are (REFERENCE THESE). You then need to lead into answering the overarching question – HOW MUCH CAN EMPLOYEES INFLUENCE THE BALANCE OF POWER, in this case organisation. Thus, the following sections need to draw back to this point.
If I was approaching this I would then outline how this case organisation integrates employee relations approaches and would start with the main key concepts at this point.
• Employee Relations key concepts: 650 words
This section should set out the key ER concepts. i.e. Define what is the employment relationship (reference definitions), what perspective is adopted in your chosen organisation (Unitary, Pluralist, Radical HRM) and how this affects the balance of power – you could include management styles models here (see lecture 2).
• Current context of Employment Relations affecting your chosen organisation: 650 words
This section should focus on the current context and how this affects the case corporation (use STEEPLE).
The key impact is an issue that has implications for the workforce, internally and externally – we have covered the UK exit from the EU (Brexit) and Covid-19 as key issues/concerns.
Please try to address one impact and may focus narrowly on a few key areas of the S, T, E/E, P, L, E models or you will rapidly run out. We would rather have a fuller discussion in a few key areas than a shallow desсrіption across them all.
a. SHELL PETROLEUM: affected by Brexit – (political /legal issues)… impact lack of hauliers which affects profit/ costs (economic).
b. AMAZON: recruits agency/temporary/ zero hours workers – pays low wages – pays little tax in the UK – gains profit during Covid- did not enhance workers’ pay during this period (society/economic/ethical)
c. NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE: talent pool gaps (political/Brexit issue), pandemic, lack of frontline staff – rising CV19 cases/winter ＝ under resourced/pressure (political/ethical/legal/economic) can argue this from many areas!
PLEASE DRAW REFERENCE TO: good quality news or academic journal articles to support credible discussion on these impacts.
• Roles of Key Actors & Stakeholders: 650 words
This section should set out where the balance of power lies in relation to the key concepts (i.e. unitarist, pluralist, radical HRM); Role of state/trade union responses to these impacts/ worker resistance/ management controls etc. This should really develop who has the power in the relationship and how this affects the case organisations.
• Recommendations/conclusion: 400 words
This should set out how you, if a leader/manager/HR practitioner would address the above issues to resolve issues or enhance working / pay conditions.
e.g. AMAZON – stop ad-hoc contracts – and set out why and what this would give AMAZON and workers simultaneously in return.
• Don’t forget your reference list, using the APA 7 referencing style. reference list is NOT included in the word count. Submission must include:
• A cover page: Clearly state your full name, student number, the title and word count.
• A contents page: Clearly include the page numbers, headings and subheadings using numbered sections.
• A reference section: which must be in alphabetical order (surname of academic/site/report). This must be included when you submit via Turnitin. Please use the APA reference format.
We expect you to remain within the required wordcount ( + or – 10% of this figure). WE STOP READING IF YOU GO OVER this Word Count limit.
Aiming for a good grade
• Statistics over the past decade show that students who attend all lectures and seminars are fully prepared and enabled to develop their written assessment and to pass the online exam. • Ensure you make every effort to participate. • Engage in the pre-reading and come prepared to discuss the key topics each week. This will enable you to flourish.
We will not read drafts prior to submission. In each seminar we will discuss the approaches, concepts and legislation etc. This will link to how you may use these materials in preparation for the assignment / exam structure.
The following marking criteria is used for both written assessment/online exam.
************************************************Implementing Strategy and Change Assignment Brief
Word Count – 3,000 words (+/- 10%) (I.e. absolute max 3,300)
Weighting – 100%
Assignment Question: Evaluate the current position of your chosen organisation, make recommendations for a new strategy considering the people, purpose, and planet, suggest how the organisation could implement that strategy.
Within the module, you will be invited to select an organisation of your choice, this organisation is your selection, however we have several recommendations as to how you might choose;
1. An organisation where you wish to work for in the future (Graduate scheme etc)
2. The organisation where you completed your placement (Or Level 5 placement)
3. An organisation inspired by the guest speaker
4. An organisation that you find particularly interesting
5. An organisation within an industry where you feel you could offer some insight
The module has introduced you to several ideas in terms of the process of implementing a strategy and creating change. In particular, the module has instilled the importance of ‘the plan, the people, the purpose and the planet’ – we would expect these factors would be an important part of your assignment.
Our suggestion (…and only our suggestion) is that you might format your assignment as follows;
In all areas, incorporate relevant theory to support your arguments.
Part One – The Current Strategic Position (1,800 words) – Consider the current Internal and External Position of your organisation, what is their current strategic position, mission, and vision? How does this relate to the external environment and the various stakeholders?
Is the strategy appropriate and suitable? What is your recommendation to create strategic change? (This could be a complete change in strategic direction, a move in a slightly different direction, or adopting a more ethical and sustainable model to better achieve the current strategy. This will very much depend on your organisation and context).
If required, the models to complete this section may be placed in your appendices. Part Two – The Contemporary Environment
The People (300 words) – Consider the current culture, commitment and buy-in for the organisation’s strategy. If necessary, how might this need to change?
The Purpose (300 words) – What is the purpose of the strategy and overall mission and vision of your organisation and intended strategy? Why does it matter? Does this relate to ‘the people’ and achieving employee buy-in? Could this be changed?
The Planet (300 words) What is the impact on the planet? Where is the need for sustainable and responsible business approaches, does this form a part of the strategy, mission?
Part Three – The Recommendations and Conclusion (600 words)
What are your overall recommendation, what needs to change and be implemented to achieve your updated strategy and plan? What is your overall recommendation for strategic change? What needs to change, who needs to change and what considerations need to be given to the planet?
The recommendations should be clear and consistent with your overall report. Naturally, the format and structure of your assignment and arguments will be influenced by the type of organisation that you select (for example, a particularly un-ethical organisation might need more focus (words) for ‘the planet’ and fewer for ‘the plan,’ an organisation with an unclear or no strategy, might need more focus on the plan). Your tutor will support you in the development of your ideas and word weightings in your assignment. Realistically you cannot and will not include ‘all’ the theory from the Lectures and Seminars, consider which theory is most relevant for your arguments and position, and focus on using this well, rather than using everything poorly (and to lesser impact). Each week, there will be an opportunity to discuss your work and receive formative feedback, please bring this with you to each session. *****************************
