A few examples are provided—you may select from the following list or select a different option of your choice (choose laws different from those you addressed in Discussion 1 of this week). Then, you will research the policies and procedures that are in place in your school or district to address these laws.Free and Appropriate Public EducationIndividualized Education PlanManifest Determination HearingThe Americans with Disabilities ActThe Individuals with Disabilities Education ActSuspension and ExpulsionYou will research the two laws and articulate why these laws were created, the premise of each law, and how they are interpreted by the legal system. Then, research the policies and procedures in place at the school or district level to address these laws. After compiling your data, you will select an administrator in your educational setting, and conduct an interview (Note: Interview questionnaire has already been created, please use the questions from the attachment below, see instructor's comments to improve questionnaire) gathering realistic information regarding how these laws are addressed in reality, and how educators and leaders in the district ensure compliance.Please follow these guidelines to construct your paper:Introduction (approximately 2–3 pages):Identify the laws you selected for your Final Project and whether they are local, state, or federal laws.Describe your educational setting (e.g., elementary, middle or high school) and the position of the person you interviewed. To protect confidentiality, please refrain from identifying the name of the institution and any other identifying information of the administrator you interviewed.ContentLaws (approximately 2–3 pages):Provide an overview of the educational laws you have chosen.Explain how these laws were developed, and how they are interpreted by the legal system to provide background information and context. Support your explanation with legal rulings.Explain the consequences of noncompliance with these laws or policies to educational institutions and educators.Policies and Procedure (approximately 2–3 pages):Describe the policies and procedures in place at the school or district level to address the laws. Include examples of how these policies and procedures are realistically carried out in your educational system. Based on your interview of an educational leader, explain the challenges leaders face in relation to these policies and procedures.Are there existing policies or procedures that need to change to better adhere to the laws? If you think a change is necessary, describe the changes you would recommend to existing policies or procedures or both. If you do not think that a change is necessary, provide a rationale to support the effectiveness of the existing policies and procedures in relation to the law.Summary (approximately 1–2 pages):Summarize the insights you gained as a result of analyzing existing laws and the reality of how they are often implemented at the school or district level.Reference Page (all scholarly resources must follow APA guidelines).Note: The instructor is very strict with APA 6th edition formatting.

The final project for this course is the creation of a decision-making and principles of management paper. As you continue on your path to earn a degree in business administration, you will deepen your understanding of how effective management is a crucial aspect of overall business success, especially in today’s complex business world. As business and society continue to evolve, there will continue to be a demand for managers who are able to organize their resources and strategically implement the functions of management to achieve the goals of an organization. The final paper for the course is divided into two parts: Final Project One and Final Project Two. Both parts of the assessment will focus on decision making and the fundamental principles of management. In Final Project One, with the help of your instructor, you will select a successful company from the list provided. You will analyze the company’s best practices and effective implementation of the fundamental principles of management. Final Project One is divided into two milestones which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Module Two and Module Three. Final Project One will be submitted in Module Five. In Final Project One, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:  OL-215-01: Analyze how an organization’s goals influence organizational planning that informs strategic decision making  OL-215-02: Analyze the functions of management and ethical principles for executing effective decision making in organizations  OL-215-03: Apply management techniques that ensure the continuous improvement of personnel and business processes to measure organizational performance  OL-215-04: Apply communication techniques aimed at increasing employee performance, thus achieving organizational goals and objectives  OL-215-05: Illustrate the important connection between management and organizational culturePrompt Your employer recently conducted an employee survey and the greatest area of concern was related to management. The survey revealed that many employees are not satisfied with management’s performance, and the employees feel like the company’s poor performance is directly related to a lack of effective management. The general manager has learned that you are currently pursuing a business degree and would like you to champion a team to help improve management’s effectiveness. The general manager would first like to understand some best management practices from successful companies. For the first part of the final project, you will identify a successful company. You must select a company from the list of suggested companies below. Resources related specifically to the successful companies listed are provided.SOUTHWEST AIRLINES Once you have selected a successful company, you will then analyze its application of the fundamental principles of management.

Analyze the decision-making strategies of the company for how they consider all the parts of the company as an interrelated system. You could consider how the decision-making strategies of the company align with a systems thinking approach. Milestones Milestone One: Introduction of a Successful Company In Module Two, you will submit a one-page (maximum) document that will identify your chosen successful company from the suggested list. You are expected to provide a brief overview of the successful company that you have chosen to benchmark for management best practices. You should also include specific examples related to the fundamental principles of management and the company’s mission and vision statement. This milestone will be graded with the Final Project One Milestone One Rubric. Milestone Two: Profile of a Successful Company In Module Three, you will submit a one- to two-page document that will provide a profile of your chosen successful company. This milestone will serve as a rough draft and must cover the six critical elements described in Part II of Final Project One. You are expected to provide a minimum of two to three sentences for each of the six critical elements: mission and vision, strategic management plan, organizational culture, decision making, principle of ethics, and human resources.. This milestone will be graded with the Final Project One Milestone Two Rubric. Final Submission: Application of the Fundamental Principles of Management for a Successful Company In Module Five, you will submit Final Project One. It should be a complete, polished artifact containing all of the critical elements of the final product. It should reflect the incorporation of feedback gained throughout the course. This assignment will be graded using the Final Project One Rubric.Final Project One Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Final Project One must be three to four pages in length (plus a cover page and references) with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and APA formatting. Include at least two references cited in APA format.

Assignment First, you should make any changes to your Part 1 assignment, as indicated in the feedback you received.Then, you will develop Part 2 of the ITSP for GG Freightways (GGFRT), using the outline below, and add it to Part 1.A single, complete ITSP, with both Parts 1 and 2 will be submitted for this assignment.Note that Part 2 includes a project you are proposing that GGFRT undertakes.In addition to the course materials, at least one external resource (resource other than those provided in the class) must be used.Two or more cited references will earn top credit. Use a separate References page to list just the references you have cited.Remember to use the APA formatting rules and correctly cite and reference your sources with APA format.Use the Grading Rubric to be sure you have covered everything. Please use this outline to build Part 2 of your IT Strategic Plan. Use the numbering and headings shown below. Part Two IT Strategies - Write four (4) IT strategies and explain how they align to one or more of the business strategies, including the compliance requirements, articulated in the Case Study.If these business strategies were not included in your Part 1 paper, you should add these strategies into Part 1 prior to submitting this assignment.When the full ITSP is submitted for this assignment, there should be a clear link between the business strategies in Part 1 and the IT Strategies in Part 2.Provide at least one (1) internal IT strategy and two (2) business-enabling IT strategies and identify each as either and internal or business-enabling strategy. Refer to the reading on “Creating a Future Vision for the Chief Information Officer” for an explanation of internal and external (business-enabling) IT strategies.IT Portfolio Roadmap - The overall IT Roadmap shows the systems that are currently in development or are planned to start within the time frame shown. It is a summary of projects to support your proposed strategy. You should review the case study and identify the new systems that the stakeholders are requesting or that GGFRT has decided to implement. Each of these systems should be entered into the table below under the appropriate functional area, such as marketing or finance. Then, the time frame for developing the system should be presented as a bar in the table. The table covers a six-quarter time frame shown, with each quarter having three months. Thus, the six-quarter time frame looks out a year and a half into the development and implementation of the strategy.Of course, the entire implementation may take longer, but six-quarters allows both short term and long term to be viewed at a glance.For purposes of this assignment, only the projected timeframes to develop the projects are required.The table below shows the five functional areas of an example company and two systems for each area.To develop your roadmap, use a table like the one below to create a timeline; you can copy the table, insert the functional areas and systems that are discussed in the Case Study, and use ‘insert shape – rectangle’ to insert the bars showing the timeframes for development of each.The functional areas and projects in development, and their timeframes should be extracted from the Case Study.Be sure to include an introductory paragraph to explain the table that will follow.Proposed Project:Next, (1) you will propose a new IT project to support at least one of the strategies in section 1 above and include it in the Table above.(2) Use a different color font to indicate this new project and insert it with the appropriate functional area in your table.In Section 3, (3) describe in a short paragraph how your proposed project will supplement the current IT development projects (systems in development) in supporting the business of GGFRT.In a future assignment, you will use this project to develop an “IT Decision Paper”; therefore, you should look at that assignment to be sure the project you propose will be appropriate for that assignment as well. (You can propose a specific vendor package though it is not necessary.However, if you are incorporating an integrated solution, you should discuss the various features of the package that are appropriate for the study.Solutions such as backups, training of employees, utilizing social media, customizing packaging of products for storage and others involving Human Resources are not appropriate solutions for this assignment.)Refer to Case Study for ideas for a new project. This is a major part of the next assignment. Give this some thought.Business Continuity Planning– (a) List and explain the general steps Lance should take to develop a Business Continuity Plan for GGFRT so he can be sure that the most important systems will remain operational in the event of a catastrophe. (b) Include who should be involved in its development and their roles, focusing on the BCP. Please complete the following table by copying/pasting it into your paper for this section: IT Strategy (Spring 2019) State the Business Strategic Objective, then Explain the Alignment of the IT Strategy to the stated Business Strategic Objective Internal/Business-Enabling (state the words “Internal” or “Business Enabling”) Example:do not use but leave it in the table when completing this section. Meet compliance requirements by updating current technology or developing/acquiring new technology to meet those mandates Business Strategic Objective:Meet FMSCA reporting requirements for driving hours by the company’s driversExplanation of the Alignment of the IT Strategy to the Business Strategic Objective:By acquiring or developing technology that will capture and store driver hours electronically, the company will be in compliance with FMSCA regulations and be able to provide this information upon request.Business Strategic Objective:Explanation of Alignment of the IT Strategy to the Business Strategic Objective:Business Strategic Objective:Explanation of Alignment of the IT Strategy to the Business Strategic Objective:Business Strategic Objective:Explanation of Alignment of the IT Strategy to the Business Strategic Objective:Business Strategic Objective:Explanation of Alignment of the IT Strategy to the Business Strategic Objective: Internal 1. 2. 3. 4.

(3) Discuss specifics, related to the case study in your response. This is a good area to do some external research – see what you can find on the web about IT project risks and risk management. (Review the document “IHS Guide to Risk Management” found under the Week 3 readings.)Complete a, b, c for each risk; list each risk separately in the format Risk 1, Risk 2, Risk 3, Risk 4.A source must be incorporated into this section for full credit. (c) In addition, from the Case Study, identify what you consider the three most important systems currently in use at GGFRT along with justification of your choices. (d) Based on the three systems chosen in (3), explain the specific steps Lance can take to ensure those systems continue to be available for GGFRT in the event of a local catastrophe. (Review course materials on the Business Continuity Plan.) The "right" and "wrong" answers have to do with whether or not you correctly incorporated the course concepts from the course and addressed all parts of the assignment. The project you propose is not as important as that it makes sense considering the course content and the Case Study.Use the Rubric below to be sure you have covered all aspects of the assignment.
