...Business Writing Portfolio Sharon Tucci XCOM 285 October 7, 2012 Karen Blatter-Schieler Capstone Checkpoint - Reflection Sharon Tucci XCOM/285 October 5, 2012 Karen Blatter-Schieler In this class I have learned effective writing skills which I plan to use when needed in my current job and more importantly my future job whatever that may be. My current job is very informal and does not require me to write very often. Once I graduate college I plan to leave this position behind and move forward in the banking industry which I know will be much more professional. It is there where I really plan to utilize these skills, whether I will be writing internal memos, corresponding with clients, preparing a report for my superior, or writing e-mails. I think one of the most important lessons I learned in taking this class was the difference between academic writing and business writing. Especially since I am currently a student it can be difficult to make that transition. Writing papers for class I am used to trying to impress my instructor with an extensive vocabulary and using a lot of “fluff” to make my papers flow and to meet certain word requirements. Where in business writing I do not want my audience to need a dictionary to translate what I am saying, most people are busy and will probably be juggling several tasks while trying to read the document. It needs to be quick and to the point delivering only necessary information. This is a class that I think everyone...

...dialed in from multiple locations around the world for an important meeting. The purpose of the gathering was to get the green light from senior management to manufacture a new high-end router that would make the giant networking company more competitive in an age of surging Internet traffic.1 The project’s code name, Viking, said it all. The router for broadband service providers would break ground in power and speed, reminiscent of the Norse warriors and explorers of Europe during the eighth to eleventh centuries. The meeting represented a culmination of several years of development work by a cross-functional, global team of Cisco specialists in engineering, manufacturing, marketing and other areas. Just months earlier, in mid-2007, Cisco overhauled the project by sharply boosting the router’s speed and capacity. This would allow the company to leapfrog competitors and offer a low-cost, powerful new router platform for the next 10 to 15 years. That day in November, the Viking team was seeking an “execution commit” from senior management in manufacturing. If it got the go-ahead, Cisco would be ready to commit the resources to launch the new product. But the Cisco team knew it faced many challenges. The Viking project would be one of the company’s most complex new product introductions ever. First, even though the project had been essentially re-started in mid-2007, Cisco was still aiming to announce the machine in November 2008. That would give it just a year to...

...Business Writing Portfolio Natasha Allan XCOM/285 Essentials of Managerial Communication University of Phoenix Reflection Reflecting back on the Essentials of Managerial Communication and the last nine weeks, there have been several key points that will benefit writing skills in the workplace. The most important lesson learned is how to tailor a message for the audience which will receive it. A manager must know how to approach an audience be it an employee, a member of management or a customer. Each audience may need to be informed of the same information, but the way a manager presents the information to each should be different. A manager should also be aware of ethics and personal privacy when writing. It is easy for a manager to inadvertently create a problem for the company by doing something considered unethical by some or by invading an employee’s privacy. This course helped to understand how a manager should consider ethics and privacy when writing. This course also covered the considerations a manager must give an audience when deciding how much the audience knows about the subject matter. A manager does not need to assume the audience knows more information than it does, but he must also not bore an audience with subject matter the audience already knows. Lastly, a manager must keep in mind formality of documentation. A memo should be a more formal document than an e-mail. An e-mail to a fellow employee can be more informal than an e-mail to someone...

Part of what makes our school unique and challenging is that along with the different cultures and races we have the different economic levels amongst our families. Lakota Middle School is a uniform school. Having uniforms helps in two ways. It helps teachers and staff identify students, and it helps our low-income families with the school clothes budget. For example, students are not distracted by the latest fashion trends because everyone has on the same colors. Lakota entered a new building in the fall of 2010 after having been in the older building for 50 years. The school was designed to create miniature academies within the building.

...Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS Background Introduction The September 11, 2001 terrorist attack of the World Trade Center in New York City, USA directly caused the death of more than three thousand innocent civilians when two hijacked jetliners deliberately slammed against the twin towers that used to be a testament to the United States’ economic clout. On the same day, two other hijacked airliners were flown to other targets, one of which was the Pentagon, the seat of America’s military might, while the fourth aircraft crashed in a Pennsylvania field, believed to have been due to its passengers fighting back to regain control. While these incidents are certainly not the latest terrorist attacks against civil aviation, these attacks are significant in the sense that its aftermath truly changed the course of history of many nations and radically changed the lifestyles of many peoples. The earliest recorded terrorist act was on September 9, 1949, when a bomb was placed and exploded in a Quebec Airways flight in Canada. Since that first recorded aviation security breach, security experts had been trying to be one step ahead of the terror groups in hardening aircraft and airport targets against all forms of terrorist attacks. However, on July 22, 1968, three gunmen from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), hijacked a passenger airliner of the Israeli airline El Al, on a flight from Rome to Tel-Aviv, and demanded the release of their comrades-in-arms who were...

QA vs. QC Definition from ASQ.org Assurance: The act of giving confidence, the state of being certain or the act of making certain. QA: The planned and systematic activities implemented in a quality system so that quality requirements for a product or service will be fulfilled.
