SEGMENTS REQUIRED IN THE PRESENTATION: 1. Overview of the Organization: 1. Provide an overview of the chosen organization. 2. Justify the choice of the organization. 3. Identify the change needed and how the issue has impacted the organization. 2. Organizational Subsystems in Need of Change Within the Organization: 1. Identify three of the subsystems in the organization that relate to the needed change that was identified. 2. Of the three subsystems chosen, identify the main subsystem that failed and led to the problem. 3. Provide a justification or explanation for choosing the subsystem for change. 3. Impact of the Proposed Change on Two Other Organizational Subsystems: 1. Discuss how the proposed change will affect the other two subsystems identified. 2. Discuss any system realignment that may result from the changes proposed. 4, Subsystem Comparison to Another Organization: 1. Compare the chosen subsystem for change to the same subsystem in a different organization. The subsystem chosen should be from an organization that is successful in the area of change being proposed. Provide justification. 5. Satisfaction of Three Stakeholders: 1. Identify any three stakeholders in the organization affected by the proposed change. 2. Explain how the proposed change will satisfy each of the three stakeholders identified. 6. Ethics 1. What does the organization's website state about its view on ethics? Does the organization's published view on ethical standards conform to or differ from its practice(s)? Use the "Four Views of Ethics," located in your assigned textbook reading, to compare the company's published versus practiced ethical behavior. Provide justification. 7 .Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) 1. Building upon the ethical behavioral analysis, what CSR perspectives or strategies does it appear the organization is currently adopting. Refer to the CSR strategies and perspectives provided in your textbook reading. Provide a recommendation on how the organization can behave in a socially responsible manner to create a competitive advantage for the three stakeholders identified earlier. 8. Attracting Human Resources: 1. Propose how the organization should attract the change agent required to support the change in the primary subsystem. 2. Focus the proposal to attract the change agent (a specific individual or organization) on one of the following: human resource planning, recruitment, or selection. 3. Explain how the proposed efforts to attract the change agent to bring about the change will affect the primary subsystem identified. 9.Developing Human Resources: 1. Propose how the organization should develop the change agent (attracted in the previous section) in order to support the change. 2. Focus the proposal to develop the change agent on one of the following: employee orientation, training and development, or performance appraisal. 3. Explain how the proposed efforts to develop the change agent to bring about the change will affect the primary organizational subsystem identified. 10. Maintaining Human Resources: 1. Propose how the organization should maintain the change agent (attracted and developed in the previous sections) in order to support the change. 2. Focus the proposal to develop the change agent on one of the following: career development, work-life balance, compensation and benefits, retention, or labor-management relations. 3. Explain how the proposed efforts to maintain the change agent to bring about the change will affect the primary organizational subsystem identified. 11. Internal Consistency: 1. Explain how the HR processes chosen to attract, develop, and maintain the change agent are the optimal choices to bring about the proposed change given the identified organizational issue and the main (primary) subsystem. 12.Course Connectivity: 1. Choose a minimum of three appropriate topics from the broader course materials (from Topics 1-6) and connect the discussion of each to the proposed changes and recommendations made in the presentation. 2. This discussion should thoroughly explain or define each of the chosen topics and clearly integrate the discussion of each to develop a persuasive argument that demonstrates a holistic understanding of the subject. 13. Integration of Faith, Learning, and Work – CWV: 1. Review the "Statement on the Integration of Faith and Work," located in the topic resources, and the "Christian Worldview Belief Statements" document outlining the integration of faith, learning, and work. Based on these resources, integrate a Christian worldview (CWV) component in the presentation. 2. Using a minimum of two relevant Bible verses in total, explain how at least two of these CWV perspectives relate to the proposed change. You are required to address a minimum of two CWV perspectives as long as it applies to your presentation. 3. Make a clear connection on how each CWV perspective should inform the management practice. 4. All individuals have a worldview. An individual's faith-based perspective/worldview influences that person's decisions, values, and perceptions. It also affects how an individual manages people (or thinks they should be managed). For this assignment, this requirement relates to the worldview of the presenters, not the organizations. For example, how does the CWV perspective inform your interpretation of the problem or the proposed solution?

Video: https://www.loom.com/share/765ae3b01bcb41a2bc4ccfdd8e13dab3 Directions: Each CONTENT slide is to contain approximately 100-150 words in the speaker’s notes (this part of the slide). The speaker’s notes should be the verbatim transcript of what you will say when presenting. You may add a professional background and design. NOTE: within your presentation you should include at least four academic references to support your position, and recommendations. You should INTEGRATE THESE SOURCES THROUGHOUT YOUR PRESENTATION speakers notes using in text citations. One of them should directly relate to the company discussed in your presentation and another to the organization to which you are comparing it. These needed to be cited within your presentation not just as references at the end of the presentation.
Overview Overview of the organization Organizational subsystems in need of change Impact of the proposed change on two other organizational subsystems Comparison to successful subsystem Stakeholder satisfaction Ethics Corporate Social Responsibility Attracting human resources Developing human resources Maintaining human resources Internal consistency Course connectivity Integration of faith, learning, and work - CWV Throughout this presentation, we will cover what amazon is as a company, the subsystems that need to be changed, the impact that these changes will have, a comparison to a successful system, stakeholder satisfaction, the ethics of Amazon as a company, their corporate social responsibility, how they attract human resources, how they develop and maintain these resources, the internal consistency of Amazon, how it relates to this course, and the integration of faith learning and work through a christian world view. Overview of Amazon Warehouse conditions Inventory Shipping Human Resources Employment Procedures Workers Compensation Standardization of Policy Public Opinion Application Process Employment Needs Amazon is a large international organization, with state of the art logistics allowing them to ship worldwide. Many people believe Jeff Bezos and Amazon changed the shopping game when they opened, allowing people to shop from the comfort of their own home was unheard of at the time and now something we take for granted (Amazon History Citation). Even though Amazon is touted for their logistical prowess other levels of the company have issues, mainly their warehouse employees. The working conditions of these employees are suboptimal especially within three main systems. The warehouse conditions, especially with inventory and shipping could use work, the human resources systems for these employees especially in regards to worker compensation and policy not being standardized need improvement, and the employment procedures especially in regards to public opinion, the application process and employment needs have been found lacking (Citation). Throughout this presentation a deeper look will be taken into each of these systems, and the effect correcting them would have on Amazon long term. A look will also be taken into how Amazon recruits, develops, and maintains their human resources all of this will be linked back and connected within a christian worldview.
