    [>Accounting homework help](https://www.sweetstudy.com/fields/business-finance-accounting)

    In response to two peers on their selections in the course milestones and project, address the following:

    – Which of your peer's recommendations did you find most compelling, surprising, or innovative?
    – One important theme of this course is the need for most companies to innovate on a regular basis or risk falling behind their competitors. The same can be said for employees.
    – What skills can you add to your toolbox to future-proof your career?
    – What skills can you acquire to support an innovative culture at your organization?

    RILEY POST

    In Milestone 1 I decided on incremental innovation for financial reasons. Discontinuous innovation was going to cost billions of dollars, where the cost of incremental was worked into the current business plan. I did not think that the company was in a financial position to take a risk, especially one that big. Compared to the other companies, I thought that a less risky option would be more likely to be successful. High risk can mean high reward, but I was afraid of the repercussions if a radical approach failed.

    In Milestone 2 I determined that the marketing team would need to be strategic in how they are marketing the new vehicles. Customers may show resistance to cars that are fully autonomous as there is a lack of trust. Personally, I do not think I could fully trust a self driving car. My idea was to partner strategic marketing with incremental innovation to slowly gain customer trust in the new vehicles. Humans are creatures of habit and do not react well to change, so slowly upgrading the vehicles will “soften the blow.” Additionally, I think that having celebrity or “VIP” clients as spokespeople for the brand and new cars could also help in gaining consumer buy-in.

    Finally, I recommended that the organization structure should be flatter and decentralized. I think that this has more potential to foster innovation. There is too much structure for employees to be able to make decisions and test out ideas as the “decision makers” are at the top of the structure. Not only does this make it difficult, but also the fact that it can take a while for information to get from the top to the bottom of the hierarchy. I believe that the decentralization will allow for more open communication and to allow ideas to flow freely.

    TABBIE POST

    I chose to select discontinuous innovation for the Milestone One and the final proposal. Given that the company was behind all the current technologies offered by their competition, they risked being squeezed out of their market share if any of the competing brands or a new market entrant created something truly discontinuous and disrupted the market. I felt the company really needed to shake things up in the industry in order to keep their space and try to overcome the competition. Since the automotive industry is really moving in this direction of 'connected cars', I felt it was absolutely paramount for this company to focus on doing something big that they could later incorporate into their other models to elevate sales.

    In milestone two, I chose to outline a step by step process in moving forward with the innovation. This included research to determine what consumer demands are and to help develop a vision for the new model, drafting a realistic timeline for developing technologies and testing a prototype, outlining budgetary considerations, and working with all internal stakeholders to encourage an openness to a 'trial and error' approach. One thing I really enjoyed from this term was learning about the Skunk Works team and I thought that the leaders' approach to giving them the free reign to experiment and fail was critical to their success.

    For the organizational structure piece, I felt that the high power-distance between the innovators and the leaders could be problematic in achieving best results. I think a flatter organizational structure where some level of decision-making is allowed to be made at lower levels would be more conducive to a truly innovative culture. I also suggested that embracing differences and having cross-functional team members involved would give them a full scope of the project and its implications. At the end of the day, the company was doing incremental innovation well – but it wasn't good enough to maintain the pacing the industry has taken. They need to make major changes to their innovation approach and style to secure their future.

    ENG 106: Composition II Learning Unit 3: Instructions

    Working Bibliography and Citations Assignment Instructions

    Overview:

    Our textbook indicates that keeping records of sources as we find them ultimately helps us have all the

    necessary information to finalize our works cited page. Students often find that completing the works

    cited page can be a lot more time consuming than first expected, so beginning a working bibliography (a

    growing MLA list of sources) will help prepare you to complete the final works cited page when you

    write your paper.

    Instructions:

    1. Create a works cited page containing MLA bibliographic citations for the five sources you found

    in the “Utilizing the Library & Databases” activity (in LU3) plus three more sources of your choice.

    a. These should all be sources you plan to eventually use in your Informative Essay.

    b. You’ll want to reference the Rules for Writers handbook to determine which type of sources

    you’re dealing with and which citation model you need to follow. See the directories.

    c. Your formatting should look like the sample works cited page in Rules for Writers. See the

    Course Schedule for page numbers.

    2. Once you’ve created the list of works cited for eight of your sources, create a corresponding list

    on a separate page which demonstrates how to do an in-text (parenthetical) citation for each

    source. As you create the citation, pretend as though it’s a citation that does NOT already

    contain the author’s last name or source title in the signal phrase.

    3. Save both parts in a single document and upload it as one document in MyHills.

    Example:

    Works Cited Entry (which you’d include in the properly formatted list of eight sources):

    Blum, Virginia L. “Love My Neighbors, Hate Myself: The Vicissitudes of Affect in Cosmetic

    Surgery.” From Inquiry to Academic Writing. Ed. Stuart Green and April Lidinsky. 2nd

    ed. Boston: Bedford/St. Martin’s, 2012. 801-06. Print.

    Corresponding In-Text Citation (which you’d include on the second list): (Blum 802)

    Page 1 of 4

    Introduction to Academic Research & Library Databases

    Speaker: Kameo Cragoe

    As we discussed in LU01, research writing is a process. At times, it can be an exciting process because we

    have opportunities to learn about new ideas, thoughts, arguments, and theories through our research.

    Other times, though, the process can seem daunting and overwhelming. Perhaps we find too much

    research and we don’t know how to choose the most appropriate sources. Maybe we have difficulty

    locating the types of sources we need to inform our readers about a particular discussion. These

    situations are common during the research process, but understanding the basic principles of academic

    research as well as the effective use of library databases can help us reduce frustrations and increase

    our chances for a successful, rewarding research experience.

    By the time you complete this learning unit, you should have chosen a controversial topic. Remember

    that you will research and write about this topic for the remainder of the course, so chose the topic

    carefully.

    Once you have chosen a topic and formulated your research question (see the “Topic Selection &

    Narrowing a Topic” lecture for more instruction on topic selection), you are ready to dig into the

    research process. The two main areas that we will focus on in this lecture will be how to conduct

    academic research and how to use the library databases.

    For most controversial topics, a student will be able to procure a myriad of sources. Let’s take the topic

    of gun control. If a student typed “gun control” into the Google search engine, he would likely have

    access to thousands upon thousands of websites, articles, books, etc. on the topic of gun control. Not

    many of us have the time to read through 50,000 potential sources to determine their worth or their

    potential application to our writing, though. Even more, we would need to consider how many of those

    sources would be considered academic research.

    In your previous classes, you’ve probably heard your professors discuss academic writing. It is a type of

    writing that comes with a set of standards and expectations. In fact, most types of writing come with

    standards and expectations. In academic writing, we work to use a professional tone; organize our ideas

    in a coherent structure; focus on relevant, and important topics that are often related to a particular

    field or discipline; and engage in a conversation with other scholars and professionals. The other

    important characteristic of academic writing is that we must use academic research. This type of

    research consists of reliable and authoritative sources. In other words, the sources are written by

    authors with reputable credentials, and the discussions are relevant and recent. In addition, the

    information provided by these authors should be supported and documented by research.

    Be sure to carefully review the assigned reading in your handbook for an in-depth discussion of

    academic research and evaluating sources. Knowing how to use and integrate this research into your

    essays will be an integral part of your grade. Professors often penalize students’ grades when unreliable

    ENG 106: Composition II Learning Unit 2: Lecture

    Page 2 of 4

    research is used within research essays, as academia and the professional world tend to frown on

    unreliable and/or outdated research.

    When students attempt to locate academic research, they often ask, “Where do I find academic

    sources?” The answer to this question is not always simple, as we can find academic sources in a variety

    of places. We can find them though a Google search on the Internet; in the college library; and in

    published newspapers, magazines, and journals. Another very useful place to find academic sources,

    though, is through a college’s library databases.

    Because research is an integral part of the academic landscape, academic institutions are committed to

    providing their students with reliable, credible, and recent research. Thus, colleges pay to subscribe to

    various databases. These databases provide students with a host of academic sources, and students can

    usually access these sources with an Internet connection, either at home or on the college campus.

    As a student of Indian Hills, you can access the databases on campus or from an alternative location, as

    long as you have Internet connection and the database passwords (available on MyHills).

    First, navigate to the Indian Hills homepage. At the bottom of the page, click on the “Library” link.

    Once you are directed to the library’s page, scroll down and review all of the research resources that are

    available to students. In particular, you may want to review the following documents:

     “Library Services”

     “Hours of Operation and Contact Information”

     “Research Tips”

     “Library Catalog”

    ENG 106: Composition II Learning Unit 2: Lecture

    Page 3 of 4

     “ebooks”

     “Magazine and Journal Listing”

     “MLA Documentation of Electronic Resources”

     “Internet Resources”

     “Composition II Handout”

    Once you have become familiar with these resources, scroll back to the top of the library’s page. Click on

    “Library Databases.”

    This link will take you to all of the databases subscribed to by Indian Hills Community College. As you

    scroll through the names, read the descriptions of the databases. Depending upon your topic, some

    databases may be more useful than others.

    For Composition II, these tend to be frequently used databases:

     CQ Researcher

     EBSCO Periodical Index

     Electric Library

     LexisNexis Academic

     NewsBank

     Opposing Viewpoints

     SIRS

    Each database is uniquely designed, so you will navigate each database differently. Pay attention to

    instructions and search options, as these will help you find the sources relevant to your topic.

    NOTE: When you are conducting research off-campus, you will need to use the database passwords. You

    will not be able to gain access to the databases without these passwords. The passwords may be found

    ENG 106: Composition II Learning Unit 2: Lecture

    Page 4 of 4

    in MyHills. To access them, go to your MyHills home page, look for the “My Services” content box on the

    home page, and click on the “Library Database Passwords” button.

    Again, be sure to carefully read the assigned reading in your handbook. This reading is full of helpful

    research tips as well as information on how to evaluate sources. Solid research is a vital component of

    research writing; thus, research carefully and thoroughly.

    For Composition II, these tend to be frequently used databases:

     CQ Researcher

     EBSCO Periodical Index

     Electric Library

     LexisNexis Academic

     NewsBank

     Opposing Viewpoints

     SIRS

    Each database is uniquely designed, so you will navigate each database differently. Pay attention to

    instructions and search options, as these will help you find the sources relevant to your topic.

    NOTE: When you are conducting research off-campus, you will need to use the database passwords. You

    will not be able to gain access to the databases without these passwords. The passwords may be found

    ENG 106: Composition II Learning Unit 3: Instructions

    Working Bibliography and Citations Assignment Instructions

    Overview:

    Our textbook indicates that keeping records of sources as we find them ultimately helps us have all the

    necessary information to finalize our works cited page. Students often find that completing the works

    cited page can be a lot more time consuming than first expected, so beginning a working bibliography (a

    growing MLA list of sources) will help prepare you to complete the final works cited page when you

    write your paper.

    Instructions:

    1. Create a works cited page containing MLA bibliographic citations for the five sources you found

    in the “Utilizing the Library & Databases” activity (in LU3) plus three more sources of your choice.

    a. These should all be sources you plan to eventually use in your Informative Essay.

    b. You’ll want to reference the Rules for Writers handbook to determine which type of sources

    you’re dealing with and which citation model you need to follow. See the directories.

    c. Your formatting should look like the sample works cited page in Rules for Writers. See the

    Course Schedule for page numbers.

    2. Once you’ve created the list of works cited for eight of your sources, create a corresponding list

    on a separate page which demonstrates how to do an in-text (parenthetical) citation for each

    source. As you create the citation, pretend as though it’s a citation that does NOT already

    contain the author’s last name or source title in the signal phrase.

    3. Save both parts in a single document and upload it as one document in MyHills.

    Example:

    Works Cited Entry (which you’d include in the properly formatted list of eight sources):

    Blum, Virginia L. “Love My Neighbors, Hate Myself: The Vicissitudes of Affect in Cosmetic

    Surgery.” From Inquiry to Academic Writing. Ed. Stuart Green and April Lidinsky. 2nd

    ed. Boston: Bedford/St. Martin’s, 2012. 801-06. Print.

    Corresponding In-Text Citation (which you’d include on the second list): (Blum 802)

    Introduction to Academic Research & Library Databases

    Speaker: Kameo Cragoe

    As we discussed in LU01, research writing is a process. At times, it can be an exciting process because we

    have opportunities to learn about new ideas, thoughts, arguments, and theories through our research.

    Other times, though, the process can seem daunting and overwhelming. Perhaps we find too much

    research and we don’t know how to choose the most appropriate sources. Maybe we have difficulty

    locating the types of sources we need to inform our readers about a particular discussion. These

    situations are common during the research process, but understanding the basic principles of academic

    research as well as the effective use of library databases can help us reduce frustrations and increase

    our chances for a successful, rewarding research experience.

    By the time you complete this learning unit, you should have chosen a controversial topic. Remember

    that you will research and write about this topic for the remainder of the course, so chose the topic

    carefully.

    Once you have chosen a topic and formulated your research question (see the “Topic Selection &

    Narrowing a Topic” lecture for more instruction on topic selection), you are ready to dig into the

    research process. The two main areas that we will focus on in this lecture will be how to conduct

    academic research and how to use the library databases.

    For most controversial topics, a student will be able to procure a myriad of sources. Let’s take the topic

    of gun control. If a student typed “gun control” into the Google search engine, he would likely have

    access to thousands upon thousands of websites, articles, books, etc. on the topic of gun control. Not

    many of us have the time to read through 50,000 potential sources to determine their worth or their

    potential application to our writing, though. Even more, we would need to consider how many of those

    sources would be considered academic research.

    In your previous classes, you’ve probably heard your professors discuss academic writing. It is a type of

    writing that comes with a set of standards and expectations. In fact, most types of writing come with

    standards and expectations. In academic writing, we work to use a professional tone; organize our ideas

    in a coherent structure; focus on relevant, and important topics that are often related to a particular

    field or discipline; and engage in a conversation with other scholars and professionals. The other

    important characteristic of academic writing is that we must use academic research. This type of

    research consists of reliable and authoritative sources. In other words, the sources are written by

    authors with reputable credentials, and the discussions are relevant and recent. In addition, the

    information provided by these authors should be supported and documented by research.

    Be sure to carefully review the assigned reading in your handbook for an in-depth discussion of

    academic research and evaluating sources. Knowing how to use and integrate this research into your

    essays will be an integral part of your grade. Professors often penalize students’ grades when unreliable

    ENG 106: Composition II Learning Unit 2: Lecture

    Page 2 of 4

    research is used within research essays, as academia and the professional world tend to frown on

    unreliable and/or outdated research.

    When students attempt to locate academic research, they often ask, “Where do I find academic

    sources?” The answer to this question is not always simple, as we can find academic sources in a variety

    of places. We can find them though a Google search on the Internet; in the college library; and in

    published newspapers, magazines, and journals. Another very useful place to find academic sources,

    though, is through a college’s library databases.

    Because research is an integral part of the academic landscape, academic institutions are committed to

    providing their students with reliable, credible, and recent research. Thus, colleges pay to subscribe to

    various databases. These databases provide students with a host of academic sources, and students can

    usually access these sources with an Internet connection, either at home or on the college campus.

    As a student of Indian Hills, you can access the databases on campus or from an alternative location, as

    long as you have Internet connection and the database passwords (available on MyHills).

    First, navigate to the Indian Hills homepage. At the bottom of the page, click on the “Library” link.

    Once you are directed to the library’s page, scroll down and review all of the research resources that are

    available to students. In particular, you may want to review the following documents:

     “Library Services”

     “Hours of Operation and Contact Information”

     “Research Tips”

     “Library Catalog”

    ENG 106: Composition II Learning Unit 2: Lecture

    Page 3 of 4

     “ebooks”

     “Magazine and Journal Listing”

     “MLA Documentation of Electronic Resources”

     “Internet Resources”

     “Composition II Handout”

    Once you have become familiar with these resources, scroll back to the top of the library’s page. Click on

    “Library Databases.”

    This link will take you to all of the databases subscribed to by Indian Hills Community College. As you

    scroll through the names, read the descriptions of the databases. Depending upon your topic, some

    databases may be more useful than others.

    For Composition II, these tend to be frequently used databases:

     CQ Researcher

     EBSCO Periodical Index

     Electric Library

     LexisNexis Academic

     NewsBank

     Opposing Viewpoints

     SIRS

    Each database is uniquely designed, so you will navigate each database differently. Pay attention to

    instructions and search options, as these will help you find the sources relevant to your topic.

    NOTE: When you are conducting research off-campus, you will need to use the database passwords. You

    will not be able to gain access to the databases without these passwords. The passwords may be found

    in MyHills. To access them, go to your MyHills home page, look for the “My Services” content box on the

    Again, be sure to carefully read the assigned reading in your handbook. This reading is full of helpful

    research tips as well as information on how to evaluate sources. Solid research is a vital component of

    research writing; thus, research carefully and thoroughly.

    Assignment Prompt & Instructions

    You  will be conducting an interview of someone from another culture (not African American) in a  few weeks. The reading this week should help you prepare for this  up-coming project as you consider elements within intercultural  rhetoric.

    First, find a conversation you are  going to analyze. It needs to be a conversation between two people from  different cultures. You can go onto YouTube, you can choose two  classmates, or you can select two people from the grocery store. I don’t  care who you choose, but they have to clearly be from two different  cultures and there needs to be a rhetorical element to it. In other  words, they can’t be saying hi and that is it. Maybe the rhetorical  element is to buy something, to sit somewhere, to explain something,  etc.  You are going to listen to their conversation, then make an  analysis.

    My hope is that you will learn from  this exercise that culture can potentially have an impact on the way  people will communicate rhetorically (persuasively).

    Second, as they are talking, take down  notes that you can later apply to the seven “useful guides” on page 183.  You will want to consider the following:

    1. What is their history – how well do they appear to know each other?
    2. Can you see any cultural style in the way they communicate?
    3. Any obvious preconceptions towards the other’s culture?
    4. Can you see any evident expectations in their conversation?
    5. Does their culture have an impact on the way they try to convince?
    6. Can you see any cultural aspects in the way they communicate?
    7. Is anything besides words being used to persuade?

    Third, write up your findings in your analysis while incorporating the following terms:

    Hegemony, epistemology, efficacy,  paradigm, skewed, and rhetoric. These six words need to be used  correctly and made bold in your analysis to earn full points in this  section.

    Here is the template you must use to submit your third analysis. Please remove the directions in [ ]

    Assignment 2, Part B: Going Beyond the Case
    Due: Monday, 9 am (eastern), Week 11 (25% of course grade)

    Instructions

    As you know, a core principle at JWMI is “learn it today; apply it tomorrow.” This assignment is a
    continuation of the work you did in Part A, but the questions challenge you to go beyond simply analyzing
    what Satya Nadella did at Microsoft. It is time to consider how you can apply the leadership principles
    presented in the case to your own career. To prepare for Part B of this assignment, reread the entire case
    and review the feedback you received from your professor on Part A.

    Write a 6–7-page paper that draws links between the case and your own leadership journey. Of the six
    topic areas below, select four (4) you would like to focus on.

    1. Learning from Nadella’s Example
    2. Building a High Performing Culture
    3. Channeling Conflict
    4. Effective Communication
    5. Fostering Diversity and Learning
    6. Building a Learning Organization

    Make sure you consider each question in your response. Remember, a good response paper is one in
    which you: (a) show you understand what happened in the case, (b) apply tools and citations from course
    materials, and (c) offer insights into how you can apply the case and course materials to your own
    leadership journey.

    Use the Assignment 2, Part B template provided in your Canvas course. It has headings and sub-
    headings, along with instructions on formatting of citations and references and topics to be covered.

    1. Learning from Nadella’s Example
    a. What did Nadella bring in terms of his own background (professional and personal) that

    helped him to be successful in stepping into the CEO role?
    b. What makes Nadella an “authentic leader”? What actions did he take that demonstrate

    he believes in role-model management? Include references to course materials to
    support your position.

    c. What characteristics does Nadella display that most closely align to traits you have, or
    aspire to develop, in your own leadership style? How are you most different from him in
    your leadership style?

    d. Why is it important for leaders to take (appropriate) risks?

    2. Building a High Performing Culture in Your Organization
    a. What steps must leaders take to build a learning culture? Include references to course

    materials to support your position.

    JWI 510 – Assignment 2B (1244) Page 2 of 5

    b. In what ways is the culture in your current or former organization similar to what Nadella
    faced when he took over Microsoft?

    c. If you wanted to change or realign this culture, where would you begin?
    d. What would be your biggest challenges? Why?

    3. Channeling Conflict

    a. In what ways did Nadella embrace conflict in his role as leader?
    b. How should leaders determine which conflicts to embrace and which conflicts to avoid,

    and once they make that decision, what can they do to encourage a positive resolution to
    the conflict? Include references to course materials to support your position.

    c. What are some of the biggest potential areas of conflict within your own organization?
    d. How well do you and your organization handle conflict now? Explain

    4. Effective Communication

    a. What were the biggest communicative barriers that Nadella faced in creating “one
    Microsoft”?

    b. What tools and communication practices are most useful to leaders in building teams that
    embrace a common vision? Include references to course materials to support your
    position.

    c. Are these barriers unique to large corporations, or do all organizations face them?
    d. Do they occur in your own organization? Explain.

    5. Fostering Diversity and Learning

    a. How did Nadella seek to enhance diversity at Microsoft?
    b. Why is diversity – in terms of culture, experience, background, and viewpoint – so

    important for an organization? Include references to course materials to support your
    position.

    c. What are some risks or obstacles to instilling more diversity?
    d. What steps can you take to make your organization stronger by bringing in more

    diversity?

    6. Building a Learning Organization
    a. What did Nadella do to transform his team from “know-it-alls” to “learn-it-alls”?
    b. Jack has said that to be an effective leader, you have to be confident enough to ask a lot

    of questions and not be afraid of looking like the dumbest person in the room.
    i. How can leaders promote a hunger for learning in their teams?
    ii. How can leaders support team members who may be too afraid to ask questions

    or challenge the status quo? Include references to course materials to support
    your position.

    c. On the “knowledge-learning” spectrum, where does your organization fit?
    d. As an MBA student, especially if you have been out of school for a long time, what does

    a “learn-it-all” mindset mean to you? What will you do to embrace it?

    Assignment 2, Part B: Going Beyond the Case
    Due: Monday, 9 am (eastern), Week 11 (25% of course grade)

    Instructions

    As you know, a core principle at JWMI is “learn it today; apply it tomorrow.” This assignment is a
    continuation of the work you did in Part A, but the questions challenge you to go beyond simply analyzing
    what Satya Nadella did at Microsoft. It is time to consider how you can apply the leadership principles
    presented in the case to your own career. To prepare for Part B of this assignment, reread the entire case
    and review the feedback you received from your professor on Part A.

    Write a 6–7-page paper that draws links between the case and your own leadership journey. Of the six
    topic areas below, select four (4) you would like to focus on.

    1. Learning from Nadella’s Example
    2. Building a High Performing Culture
    3. Channeling Conflict
    4. Effective Communication
    5. Fostering Diversity and Learning
    6. Building a Learning Organization

    Make sure you consider each question in your response. Remember, a good response paper is one in
    which you: (a) show you understand what happened in the case, (b) apply tools and citations from course
    materials, and (c) offer insights into how you can apply the case and course materials to your own
    leadership journey.

    Use the Assignment 2, Part B template provided in your Canvas course. It has headings and sub-
    headings, along with instructions on formatting of citations and references and topics to be covered.

    1. Learning from Nadella’s Example
    a. What did Nadella bring in terms of his own background (professional and personal) that

    helped him to be successful in stepping into the CEO role?
    b. What makes Nadella an “authentic leader”? What actions did he take that demonstrate

    he believes in role-model management? Include references to course materials to
    support your position.

    c. What characteristics does Nadella display that most closely align to traits you have, or
    aspire to develop, in your own leadership style? How are you most different from him in
    your leadership style?

    d. Why is it important for leaders to take (appropriate) risks?

    2. Building a High Performing Culture in Your Organization
    a. What steps must leaders take to build a learning culture? Include references to course

    materials to support your position.

    JWI 510 – Assignment 2B (1244) Page 2 of 5

    b. In what ways is the culture in your current or former organization similar to what Nadella
    faced when he took over Microsoft?

    c. If you wanted to change or realign this culture, where would you begin?
    d. What would be your biggest challenges? Why?

    3. Channeling Conflict

    a. In what ways did Nadella embrace conflict in his role as leader?
    b. How should leaders determine which conflicts to embrace and which conflicts to avoid,

    and once they make that decision, what can they do to encourage a positive resolution to
    the conflict? Include references to course materials to support your position.

    c. What are some of the biggest potential areas of conflict within your own organization?
    d. How well do you and your organization handle conflict now? Explain

    4. Effective Communication

    a. What were the biggest communicative barriers that Nadella faced in creating “one
    Microsoft”?

    b. What tools and communication practices are most useful to leaders in building teams that
    embrace a common vision? Include references to course materials to support your
    position.

    c. Are these barriers unique to large corporations, or do all organizations face them?
    d. Do they occur in your own organization? Explain.

    5. Fostering Diversity and Learning

    a. How did Nadella seek to enhance diversity at Microsoft?
    b. Why is diversity – in terms of culture, experience, background, and viewpoint – so

    important for an organization? Include references to course materials to support your
    position.

    c. What are some risks or obstacles to instilling more diversity?
    d. What steps can you take to make your organization stronger by bringing in more

    diversity?

    6. Building a Learning Organization
    a. What did Nadella do to transform his team from “know-it-alls” to “learn-it-alls”?
    b. Jack has said that to be an effective leader, you have to be confident enough to ask a lot

    of questions and not be afraid of looking like the dumbest person in the room.
    i. How can leaders promote a hunger for learning in their teams?
    ii. How can leaders support team members who may be too afraid to ask questions

    or challenge the status quo? Include references to course materials to support
    your position.

    c. On the “knowledge-learning” spectrum, where does your organization fit?
    d. As an MBA student, especially if you have been out of school for a long time, what does

    a “learn-it-all” mindset mean to you? What will you do to embrace it?
