Needs to be APA style 1 page intext citations and references. 

Based on the following scenario, what would be the core elements of a conflict resolution procedure you would develop?

Your organization has just introduced a new software product to the market. The product release was already several months behind schedule and the organization head authorized release before customer service and sales personnel were trained and debriefed on the product. The product has had excellent sales; however, customers are calling in to complain about an installation issue that causes their system to crash. While the creators of the product are aware of the problem, the “fix” is not widely known within the organization. Customers are upset when they cannot get help or answers and are taking out their frustration on the technicians and representatives responding to the calls. The technicians and representatives are blaming the situation on the sales staff for putting out a product with such a problem, and the sales staff is blaming administration and production for putting out a product without giving the sales staff training or debugging information. As more of the product is returned and the profit line is taking a hit, all the departments involved are feeling pressure from the executive team. Your supervisor knows that you have been focusing on conflict management in your course work and has asked you to develop a conflict resolution procedure to address this and similar problems.

Delegating Work Effectively

Delegating Work Effectively

A Scenario-The Task Force
On July 12, you were hired as a manager of sales for a company that sells human resources information systems (HRIS) software. During your first meeting with your sales staff, you determine your sales force is in shambles. It is evident that morale is low so you ask your employees to provide you with a list of their most pressing concerns via e-mail by the end of the week. It is now 5 p.m. Friday evening, July 16, and you are in your office summarizing the complaints. The most pressing concerns voiced by your sales staff include lack of resources in the field, commission rates (compensation) are too low, and support and follow-up from the customer services department are lacking. As a former salesperson yourself, you know how critical the sales force is to the company’s success. To address your employees’ concerns, you decide to form a task force to generate ideas to resolve the problems. To encourage creative, innovative solutions, you have decided not to monitor the progress of the task force. Therefore, your influence on the suggestions of the task force will be minimal. You charge the task force to provide you with three specific suggestions, along with the strengths and weaknesses for each suggestion, by July 30.

Issues related to delegation are noticeable in The Task Force case. Based on the information in the case, identify the principles related to delegating work effectively that are evident; next, identify the principles that may either be lacking or cannot be determined due to insufficient information. Provide support for your answer.

criminal justice and science

criminal justice and science

The discussion on nature versus nurture is one that pits two philosophical frameworks against each other. Nature is the concept that biologically and in personality, humans possess gifts, traits, and abilities that make them the distinct individuals whom they are in society. Nurture is the concept that individuals learn different traits, abilities, and gifts that define them in society.

In criminal justice, one must consider the following question: Is criminal behavior naturally a part of human beings since conception, or is criminal behavior a learned behavior?

Please post an answer to the following questions. Support your answers with academic or real-life criminal justice examples to accentuate your point:

Based on research and your reading assignment, discuss the merits of the idea that genetics are a source for criminal behavior. You should discuss the nature versus nurture debate as it relates to personality.

Be sure to provide examples that can be found through research studies and that have evidence linking genetics and crime, including twin studies, adoption studies, and testosterone studies.

Also, in addition to the items above, discuss your opinion of whether the environment is responsible for someone committing a crime or if it is a person’s genetic makeup. Examine genetic and biological evidence as well as psychological and sociological theory when making your case.

What are some of the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence surrounding genetics and crime?

Do you feel that police departments should consider or dismiss such findings?
