...Approaches to visual communication CDG 218 July 18, 2011 Visual Communication TV & People Emails Web Design Visual Communication In maintaining effective communication, utilizing visual communication is an important part of advertising and/or expressing ideas without actually saying them. Visual communication can be best utilized in a classroom. Shapes and colors, charts and graphs, and cartoons and illustrations are examples of approaches to visual communication. Visuals of business progress or digress should be clearly communicated through any visual communication that relates to the operation of the business. Visual communication can be learned and is used at an early age. In this paper, the three different approaches to visual communication that I chose were TV & people, emails, and web design. I will be discussing why each approach is effective in communicating my message, and which approach I feel is the most effective. The first approach I am going to talk about is TV & people; the message is TV & people given alone with a visual (picture) of a man and his dog watching TV. When I saw that picture I automatically remembered that television as already stated is easy means of visual communication, because you can see what is happening. The second approach is emails the message is managing emails efficiency with a visual (picture) of a mailbox with a boy covered with a bunch of mail in different colors. Emailing is an effective approach...

...Amy OH Leadership Task #2 – Section C Working in groups can be an experience that is positive, or negative. Teams that are marred by lack of communication, goals, and organization can be hard to work in. Fortunately, Team W was a team that organized so the group experience was positive. Evaluating different aspects of Team W’s performance through the team contract will show how well Team W worked together to provide a complete handbook. The first section that needs to be discussed is team goals. The first goal was to submit weekly assignments on the established days for each section. The second goal that was set was to check our emails and respond in a timely manner to keep communication open. The final goal was to compile the handbook and send the final product to all team members by August 7th. As a team, all members completed and achieved the goals that were established. Email was the method of communication that was chosen for the team, and as questions came up all team members responded in a timely manner. All members turned in their weekly assignments on time, and the final handbook was distributed to the team by the established date of August 7th. The goals that were set were reasonable and allowed the team to move through the handbook with little problems. Two motivation strategies/theories that were utilized by Team W were the goals theory and coaching. Goals theory is the idea that a team is effective if specific hard goals are established instead...

That expertise ranges from backgrounds in the non-profit sector to occupational therapy, financial analysis, logistics, international consultancy, and corporate management. The specific work expertise related to marketing that is relevant to this class is also varied with some members having strong expertise in marketing, sales and business and financial relations, while others have had no experience at all in marketing. This sets up the members for an interesting working relationship. All have had ample experience doing group work in past classes at Liberty University. The group is dynamic in nature.

...Assignment 2: Hasbro Case Analysis Due Friday May 31 by 5PM (on Assignment Tool) 30% Final Mark Complete Assignment in a team of Three (3 or 4) Imagine you are a consultant who has come to the Hasbro Office to discuss moving on from the debacle of Hasbro Interactive. You need to show that you understand the problem, understand the causes of the debacle, and have some recommendations for what HR practices may mitigate these problems happening in the future. Your task is to create 10 minute presentation to the management team which will be delivered electronically. Step 1: Read the Hasbro Case available on LMS under the Assessment button. Step 2: Lots of potential problems potentially contributed to the downfall of Hasbro interactive. Choose what you think are the most important factors in the failure of the business. Below are a number of quotes from the case that identify possible issues for you to focus on. Innovation/Conflict Issue: Ms. Daya’s changes were not welcomed at Hasbro Interactive, where employees bristled at anything that they perceived could dampen innovation and creativity Communication Issue: “We have Hasbro personnel at Hasbro Interactive. They do not feel the need to consult with us because they believe that they know what is going on with the brand. But they can’t do the research that we do and they don’t have the consumer insights that we use to manage our business.” Ethics/Risk Issue: “I learned that there is a fine line between investment...

...Introduction: Working in a small cohesive team of five members tasked with an assignment to submit a case study analysis helped bust several myths about teams and provided valuable lessons in working as groups. There was rich diversity in the team in terms of work experience; varied skill sets as well as varying exposure to theoretical and practical concepts of OB. The approach taken to achieve our goal was to divide and conquer. The entire analysis was broken into smaller sections that were split across the individuals who picked the topics based on their comfort levels. The more senior and experienced members offered to take up more complex sections that involved more analytical skills. I offered to take up the task of compilation of the sections into a single deliverable and perform the necessary editing and review to publish an output that was consistent. This was accepted without any conflict due to the team’s faith in my writing skills and producing case reports which was demonstrated through my grades from earlier courses. The tangible evidence of skill/expertise helped build trust in my abilities and reduced potential conflict around leadership. Stages of Team Building: It was an interesting experience to see the different stages of team building in action such as the forming of the team when individuals who haven’t worked together in the past came together to work towards a common goal. Although in our case we didn’t have the need for introduction and pleasantries...

...new performance measurement system My task was to write my opinion about the problems of the implementation of the new performance measurement system in Armco, Inc.: Midwestern Steel Division, Kansas City. First, I think there wasn’t a problem with the new performance measurement system itself, as it was stated by the numerous employees. The old system suffers from lack of direction, as employees didn´t really understand the relationship between their responsibility and their final results. Thus managers didn´t comprehend what´s expected of them. The new system came up with better “explanation” of employee’s responsibility. Managers could much better understand how their actions and decisions are related to the final economic results of the company. However, there were some difficulties in the form of implementation, in my opinion. From what I understood, new system lacks communication between creators and employees. I don´t think managers felt and understood the necessity of change. More communication in form of meetings and seminars would improve their attitude towards progress in the company. Misinterpreting of implementation of the new system is proved when managers complained “It almost seems like the operating managers finally understood the old report, so they decided change it." This is the evidence that managers didn´t understand the purpose of writing reports and weren´t able to recognize the importance of specific information in the reports. Their frustration and...

...where everyone has worked towards the common goal, and I have been in groups where certain people put their egos and personal agendas before the group. I would describe myself as a group player. I work very well with others. Under stressful situations I remain calm, and seek out solutions and the input of others to help manage the stress. My only big pet peeve concerning group work is someone who does not pull their weight. This creates a burden on the other members on the group. My boss would describe me as motivated, diligent, and caring. 2. Communication Expectations: I believe a reasonable response time is 24 hours. Everyone should check their Outlook and Discussion Board (DB) daily. Conference calls and online chats can be used to exchange feedback, concerns, and encouragement. The DB can be used to submit drafts and other documents for review. 3. Behavioral Expectations: Teamwork, effective communication, and professionalism will lead to successful completion of the project. Lack of concern and slacking off will be a threat to the project’s completion. I look forward to honest and constructive feedback from my group members. To resolve conflicts, I try to understand the concerns and outlook of all parties involved. I have no problem compromising as long as the compromise is reasonable and will benefit all parties involved. If a solution cannot be reached, then someone in higher authority may need to get involved. 4. "Flexibility" Expectations:...

...to me and submit it to the team/group at the end. I turned out to be more introverted than I had expected and often times I held on my opinions on many group decisions or did not even have any opinions at all. This could be greatly shown in the case where my task team gathered together to finish the final report during the Easter break. We all were expected to contribute our ideas on how to answer the questions of the report, however, I did not voice out my suggestions to the rest of the team other than just agreeing on most of theirs. My lacking of collaboration could also be shown in our team/group Facebook conversations where we chatted about most of our group assignments at. Most of times, I just read the contents of other members’ texts and did whatever I was asked to do instead of actively interacting with others. All of these examples above created an image of me lacking willingness to truly engage within the team/group and it unsurprisingly affected the final evaluation of me from other team members in a negative way. However, in certain cases I did work collaboratively with the team/group such as when I volunteered to be one of the presenters for my task team for the final presentation. All four of us, the presenters, spent several hours together practicing and revising on each other’s’ parts...

...------------------------------------------------- University of Phoenix Material New Hire Communication Worksheet Select a company you are familiar with. Imagine that you work for the HR department of the company. You are tasked to develop a message to orient new hires to the company culture, process, procedures, and general information. Compose a message for new hires using the three-step process outlined in Ch. 5 of Business Communication. I have deleted Step 1, 2, 3 from his work sheet since the same sent to me by my instruct showed that it was voluntary work and not mandatory work. My New Hire Communication is on the next page and I chose to present as though I worked for Wal-Mart (a company I have worked for in the past). I also don’t see word limit for this assignment so I kept it short and sweet since, as a new hire at Wal-Mart, most of the company history is detailed in a view that you would see during the training. I have written this message aimed more towards newly hired Assistant Managers who would most likely receive a greetings e-mail from the HR department or directly from the Store Manage themselves. Step 3b: Final Message for Submission Provide the final copy of your message here. Save the document and submit it as your assignment. Hello John, My name is Jane Doe and I am the Store Manager of the Wal-Mart you have been recently hired to through our coporate office. I just wanted to give you a warm welcome and just tell you...
