EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Identify the Problem

Internal pay equity is a huge problem at workplace in the United States and in so many countries around the world as well. Internal pay equity does not mean that there is discrepancy between women and men in compensation package, but it can also happen between male colleagues who are not equally compensated, and between women as well. However, it may be commonly happening between women and men. We still hear in the newspaper that women are getting the chance to be a cabinet member for the first time every in some countries such as Kuwait in the middle east. There is a discrepancy in pay between women and men in workplace, and women make up small portion of the executive members for the major United States companies. Stakeholders in this problem are women, men, business entity, and law makers who do not force companies to have internal pay equity or face consequences for violating the law. There should be a law mandating internal pay equity, and leaders should be trained on how to achieve internal pay equity at workplace. 

Research Methodology

Starting with the textbook of this course, there are a lot of sources within the book to build the skeleton of this paper. The research will include an interview with a HR professional from a major recruitment company in Los Angeles where questions about internal pay equity issues and how major companies are tackling it will be presented. Other sources such as human resource journals and market research will be included as well. 

Different Alternatives

While having a law regulating internal pay equity is the best solution for this issue, having the companies’ managers and leaders trained on how to achieve internal pay equity can be alternative. Also, HR professional should have training on how to calculate compensation while taking into consideration internal pay equity as the basis for those compensation. If the company is unable to achieve internal pay equity in terms of financial compensation, they should offer other benefits in which employees can perceive that they are fairly compensated.

Final Recommendation

Based on the research information, having a mandated law is the final recommendation. However, other alternative will be detailed in the paper so companies can look at other options of the option of achieving the law fairly has some blockers.

Now that you’ve analyzed the environmental situation and established who is in the target market, it is time for product development. Product design is crucial because new products are being introduced every day. So, while other people focus on that aspect of development, you turn your attention to branding.

This morning, walking into the office, you greet Michelle who says, “I’d like to meet with you tomorrow to develop the branding strategy for the new product. Let’s meet for a working lunch and brainstorming session.” “That sounds great,” you reply. “I’ll schedule the meeting and order in lunch.”
Entering your office, you begin to think about the items that you will be discussing during tomorrow’s meeting with Michelle.
We haven’t even come up with a product name yet, you think. We also need to work on an advertising slogan or tag line. You know that Michelle has an extensive background in marketing, but you really want to make a good impression and bring a sound branding strategy to the meeting. How are we going to distinguish our product from our competitors? What are the benefits that we are going to highlight in our brand that will meet the needs or wants of our target customers?

First, read this article: Nissan To Produce New Crossover Based On Kicks Concept. Also review “Establishment of the ‘Nissan Way’” (Figure 3, within Chapter 11, Section 4.2.3 in your textbook). 

Then, compare the “Nissan Way” organizational culture with the Brazilian jeitinho cultural trait as discussed in our Module Three reading. 

Now consider both of these cultural concepts working in tandem with each other. Identify one Nissan Way value and one jeitinho value that you believe would work well together. Also select one Nissan Way value and one jeitinho value that you believe could create dissonance or organizational conflict. 

Note that this is a challenge that Nissan currently faces, as in 2016, Nissan announced that it would begin producing a new crossover that will be sold globally, starting with Latin American markets. 

Following an investment of $192 million (U.S. dollars), the Nissan Kicks will be produced at Nissan’s Resende Industrial Complex in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The facility was inaugurated in 2014 and currently produces compact vehicles March and Versa. After the start of production, Nissan expects to hire 600 new employees.

For additional details, please refer to the Journal Guidelines and Rubric document.

Nutrition in the Wilderness

Having explored backcountry medical concerns over the past three weeks, we should have seen a continuing trend of proper planning and preparation as the primary preventative practice (the 6 Ps) for nearly all medical concerns (and other identifiable risks). Another more specific topic that we should have identified, is that of proper nutrition and hydration. 

Your body works most efficiently when it has stores of energy readily available to use. Proper hydration and nutrition allow your body (and brain) to work at their highest capacity. 

This week please read the following article- Nutrition in the Wilderness_An Exploration of the Nutritional Requirements of Backcountry Travelers.pdf

Supplement your reading with your own exploration of internet sources (blogs such as- https://blog.nols.edu/2015/07/02/what-you-should-be-eating-in-the-backcountry (Links to an external site.)) (info sheets- https://www.pcta.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/204-Backcountry-Nutrition-Myths-Facts-Quiz-Answer-Key.pdf (Links to an external site.)).

After you have completed the readings create a three-day backcountry menu that you could use on your next trip. Your menu should list the DAY, FOOD ITEMS, and CALORIC VALUE for BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER, and SNACKS. (Example- Capture.JPG)

Please create this menu as if you are in the backcountry, away from the amenities and services of the front country. For example, you may have a camp stove or open fire, but probably do not have an ice chest. Or make the argument that you are backpacking in the snow, to a backcounty hut (https://www.backpackerspantry.com/blog/7-best-backcountry-wilderness-huts-in-america (Links to an external site.)) and you may be able to keep food cold, and cook over a stove. Ground your pragmatic decision in reality, with a flair of imagination in planning for this potential trip. 

Post your menu below to share your creative ideas with the rest of the class
