The lens through which we experience gender identity and expression is constantly evolving. In this module, you will explore the concept of gender dysphoria. In what ways do our attitudes, beliefs, and culture influence our perception of gender dysphoria as normal or abnormal?

ASSIGNMENT

 

MBA 580 Module Four Flowchart Presentation Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

In Milestone One, you recommended an innovation option (incremental or discontinuous) to the organization from the course scenario. Now that senior management of the company has approved your recommendation, your task is to find an efficient process for your cross-functional team to follow during the development of your innovation. Remember that your perspective is still that of a middle manager for one of the top U.S. producers of luxury and mass-market automobiles and trucks.

You and your team are considering using Cooper’s stage-gate process for new product development. This is a standard process that shows the journey of an idea from conceptualization to the market. You will create a detailed flowchart to share with your cross-functional team on one possible process for implementing the innovation recommendation you have made.

Prompt

Create a PowerPoint presentation with the following requirements, including a detailed flowchart. Ensure the presentation is useful in helping your team understand the stage-gate process. Your presentation should include the following:

1. Describe the major elements of the stage-gate process (1–2 slides).

   How many stages are in the process?
   What is the purpose of each stage?

2. Create a stage-gate process flowchart (1 slide) using proper shapes for each step in your flowchart.

   In the flowchart or speaker notes, list an example of an activity at each stage.
   In the flowchart or speaker notes, list a decision criterion at each stage using the company. Some examples of decision criteria include:

   Filter ideas to the preliminary investigation
   Filter projects to business opportunities
   Filter projects to product or process development
   Filter products to limited launch
   Filter products to international marketing

3. Discuss the implications of using the stage-gate process (1–2 slides).

   When is the use of the stage-gate process appropriate?
   How could the stage-gate process slow down innovation?
   Is the stage-gate process more conducive to an incremental or discontinuous innovation?

What to Submit

Using PowerPoint, create a presentation that is 3 to 5 slides with detailed speaker notes that highlight the important points you want to emphasize to your team. 

PSY Programmatic Themes

Psychology is more than just one course you are taking in college. Psychology is everywhere! It’s a tool
that can help you live a better life, make a bigger impact on the world, and build stronger relationships.
As you complete coursework throughout your degree program, you’ll discover and rediscover five key
themes. Each one illustrates a way to apply psychology in your life both personally and professionally. By
the end of your program, you’ll have the tools to understand yourself more fully, improve your personal
and professional connections, and effect positive change in the world.

 Self-care: When you hear the term self-care, you may think of things like bubble baths and dark
chocolate. But self-care is about more than just pampering yourself. Engaging in self-care means
taking time for personal reflection and developing skills to improve your well-being. You can also
take care of yourself by increasing your resilience and self-regulation.

 Social justice: Everyone deserves the same rights and access to opportunities. When you apply
psychology ethically and empathetically, you’re supporting social justice. As you work through
this program, you’ll see that psychology can do more than just improve your own life—it can
help you enhance the lives of others and promote social justice for society as a whole.

 Emotional intelligence (EI): Emotional intelligence is defined as the practice of self-control and
the ability to accurately perceive the emotions of self and others, appropriately adapt emotions
and actions in daily interactions, and consistently understand and express interest in the well-
being of self and others. In short, it’s how you understand and respond to emotions in yourself
and the people around you. Emotional intelligence is not just an abstract concept. It’s a set of
skills, including self-awareness, self-regulation, ethical judgment, empathy, social awareness,
and conflict resolution.

 Career connections: Even if you don’t become a psychologist, studying psychology can help
advance your career. Psychology helps explain why people behave in certain ways and how you
can work with them more effectively. Whether you major in psychology or use this course as a
stepping-stone to other opportunities, the study of psychology can improve your daily life and
job prospects.

 Ethics: Modern psychology is guided by ethical principles. While formal ethics are set by
governing bodies such as the American Psychological Association, you also have your own set of
values and morals that influence your personal ethics. Throughout your coursework, you will
apply ethics by citing your sources.
