Refer to the interview form provided answer those questions for they are to be included in the 4 pages. In 4 pages, summarize the interview according to the five core components, four critical features, and four components of staff support systems. The summary should be in complete sentences and will be judged based on the richness of the responses and completeness of the response write-ups.
In 2 pages, compare and contrast the responses from the interview with the information from the Kerr & Nelson (2010) and the Otten and Tuttle (2004) texts.
As you are planning your paper, consider how the text information is different from the reality of the school program. What are the major pieces that the text and the school PBIS program agree on and that the school is implementing appropriately and successfully?
external environment Analysis
Case 1 is about analyzing the external environment. External Analysis is the main topic of Chapter 3; external means the macro-environment and the industry. The material in Chapter 3 will be the main source of analytical tools you will need to write your report.
Your role is a consultant, hired by the Board of Directors of General Motors, to write a report to them about the Battery Industry. The article “Batteries Are Taking Over the World” (see file or link below) will help you get started on your research about this important industry.
The Board wants you to: 1) analyze and present to them the current state of the industry; (2) determine a significant problem facing the industry; (3) briefly present two alternative strategic actions they might follow to take advantage of opportunities or avoid risks or both; (4) recommend one of the alternatives and explain why, based on your analysis, it is the best course of action for GM to follow considering the current state of the industry and its significant problem; and (5) briefly suggest an implementation plan that shows your recommendation is viable.
Your report to the Board of Directors is about the industry and the macro-environment- not about GM. The problem statement is about a significant problem facing the industry. The analysis section is about the external environment. Based on your analysis, you recommend what should GM do.
The key tool for industry analysis is Michael Porter’s Five Forces Model (Chapter 3). It would be difficult if not impossible to conduct a good industry analysis without understanding and applying this tool.
Please see the three files for instructions regarding Case Studies in this class. Remember: your report is based on where the industry is now! In addition to this article, you should use at least three other recent authoritative sources. Authoritative sources include, but are not limited to, the Wall Street Journal, Fortunes, Bloomberg, Reuters, World Bank and IBISWorld, Megent Online.

Include at least three expectations/rules, two routines per expectation/rule, and three settings. Make sure the expectations/rules are clearly and positively stated.
Lesson Plan Instructions
The Kerr & Nelson (2010) and the Otten and Tuttle (2004) texts have slightly different, yet not conflicting components or steps to a lesson plan, which are compared in the table below. You have also been provided with an example lesson plan for Walking in Line from Otten and Tuttle (2004) .
Review all three and write your own lesson plan for one of the expectations included in your rules-within-routines matrix.

International banking and insurance
International banking and insurance
FIN11107 – International Banking & Insurance
Project
A. Project background
On the 23 June 2016 in the referendum the people of the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. This result shattered both political and economic landscape of Europe and the World. However, from formal point of view the process of leaving does not seem to be an easy task. Furthermore, until the UK uses required procedural steps the process does not formally start. Experts assumed that the whole process of “divorce” might not end until 2020.
B. Project question
Analyse potential impact of the Brexit on the Financial Services Industry in the UK especially its international dimension. In the analysis, you can focus either on Banking or Insurance services. Alternatively, you can write about the whole Financial Services sector.
C. Project specifications
1. Identify and describe theory behind the economic integration. Support your analysis with statistical data between the EU-27 plus the EEA and the UK especially in the financial services.
2. Identify possible models of economic relations between the UK and EU-27 plus the EEA after the Brexit with special reference to the financial services.
3. Identify theoretical opportunities and threats posed by the Brexit which the the sector could face in different scenarios.

Barnum effect in psychology
Overview
This same Barnum demonstration has been played on introductory psychology students for over 50 years (Forer, 1949), and for some reason, it never ends up in the public conscience, thanks to the systematic misrepresentation of psychology in the popular media. It even works with personnel managers, who should know this effect by training (Stagner, 1958). It is in our textbook by Myers, and it should be described in all other Introductory and Social Psychology books.
The Barnum effect in psychology refers to the trustfulness of people when reading descriptions of themselves. By personality, we mean the ways in which people are different and unique. However, it is possible to give everyone the same description and people nevertheless rate the description as very very accurate.
Instructions
What I want you to do is to find a friend and give the following instructions:
“I am taking a new course in psychology that teaches us how to analyze personality from a picture – can I try it with you: Please take the following paper and pencil and draw a picture of a house: the picture must include the following items: a house, windows, door(s), some kind of water, some kind of greenery (plants, trees flowers etc..). You have five minutes to draw this, then I will take it away and get back to you in a few hours or tomorrow with a personality description”.. Once you get the drawing – take some time to get back to the person and then give them an envelope with a printout of their personality – have them rate on a 1-10 scale of how accurate it is and ask for a one sentence description of their reaction.
Here is an example of such a Barnum description: You may change a few words but not too much as we want to makes sure you are all using similar descriptions so we can compare.
- You have a big need for other people to like and admire you.
- You have a great deal of unused potentia, which you have not yet turned to your advantage.
- You are hard-working and self-controlled outside, but you tend to worry and be insecure inside.
- You prefer some change and variety and become unhappy when given restrictions and limitations.
- You pride yourself as being an independent thinker and do not accept others statements without proof or evidence that it is true.
- You have seem to be critical of yourself.
- Sometimes you have doubts about whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing.
- Sometimes you are extraverted, outgoing and, sociable, sometimes you are introverted, quiet and like to be along.
- While you have some personality weaknesses, you are generally able to overcome them.
On Monday 29th January you need to submit on Blackboard: 1. The drawing. 2. The person’s rating on a 1-10 scale 3. The person’s one-sentence description of their reaction and then you then need to write a 3. One paragraph reflection on the exercise which should include what you thought of it, how is the Barnum Effect the same as other personality tests and should this make us not trust psychology?
