Assignment 3: Diversity in Organizations

Management practices differ, depending on the diversity within the organization. In this assignment, you will research the demographics for your area or city and apply those demographics to business operations.

This assignment has two parts. Complete both parts.

Part I

Research the population demographics in the area or state where you live.
Use the following guidelines for your research:

• Look up government reference sites such as the US Census Bureau
  http://www.census.gov/.
• Conduct an Internet search using keywords such as ‘demographics for YourCity.’

Complete the following:

• List and describe the population demographics. Be sure to cover gender, race, national origin, age, disability, and religion. Create a table to present this information.
• Explain how these demographics determine or affect the cultural dynamics where you live. For example, types of restaurants, specialty grocery items, entertainment offerings, public housing requirements, and education offerings.

Part II

• Choose a business in your area and explain how the cultural dynamics might affect the way that business would conduct business.
• Explain the considerations for leaders of the business you chose in managing the cultural diversity in terms of customer service and employee expectations. For example, one consideration might be to have customer service agents who speak Spanish in an area where there is a large Spanish-speaking population.

Give reasons in support. Be sure to apply relevant management principles.

Write a 1–2-page report in Word format. Include the table with the population demographics. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3.doc. For example, if your name is John Smith, your document will be named SmithJ_M1_A3.doc.

Case Assignment

 

 

 

Macroeconomic choices, particularly in the areas of fiscal policy, are not just about economics but about political philosophies, values and goals. This Case asks you to think about some of these dimensions.

• Suppose a country increases government purchases by $100 billion. Suppose the multiplier is 1.5 and the economy’s real GDP is $5,000 billion.

 

• In which direction will the aggregate demand curve shift and by how much?

 

• Why is the change in real GDP is likely to be smaller than the shift in the aggregate demand curve?

 

1. Read the Case in Point: Crowding Out in Canada in Section 12.3 and answer the following:

 

• What is “crowding out,” and how does it reduce private investment?

 

• Given that only certain types of government expenditures crowded out private investment, what are the implications for fiscal policy choices?
