Define and compare the change management concept with the contingency approach. Drawing from this week’s lecture and readings, provide a specific example for either the change management concept or the contingency approach. How might cultural barriers and communication constraints affect the change process?

Prepare a 700- to 1,050-word review of the article that includes the following: •Summarize the article. •Describe the type of change the organization went through. •Explain the reason or source of the change.
1. If the supply chain of a company is interrupted because a toxic contaminant has been found in a raw material that causes a product to be pulled from the store shelf, describe: a. The potential impact to production, sales, and reputation of the company. b. If you were tasked to prepare an audit protocol to ensure senior management about the integrity of the supply chain, who would you audit and what elements would you audit them for? c. What are the advantages and disadvantages of duel sourcing (two suppliers) for each raw material?
Interviews with workers can provide some of the best information about hazard information. What are four questions workers should be asked to help evaluate hazards and adequacy of controls? The number of samples that needs to be collected depends on three factors. What are those factors? What is the definition of a breathing zone? How is sampling in the breathing zone achieved? What are the advantages and disadvantages of grab sampling (name at least 2 each)? What are the benefits and limitations of colorimetric detector tubes (name at least 2 benefits and 3 limitations)?
When workers are at risk for cold stress, describe at least three general and three specific controls that should be implemented. What are two physiological responses to cold stress? Describe at least four work practice controls that may be used for working in a hot environment. What are the three main characteristics of clothing that affect thermal balance?
Write a Java application that prompts the user for pairs of inputs of a product number (1-5), and then an integer quantity of units sold (this is two separate prompts for input values). You must use a switch statement and a sentinel-controlled loop (i.e. a loop that stops execution when an out of range value, such as -1, is input). All 15 items below are for a single purchase. There are five sets of inputs as follows: Product 1 1 unit (cost is $2.98 per unit) Product 2 2 units (cost is $4.50 per unit) Product 3 3 units (cost is $9.98 per unit) Product 4 4 units (cost is $4.49 per unit) Product 5 5 units (cost is $6.87 per unit)
Describe the three major components of managing waste. Why do we practice waste management? Why have some people labeled the United States “the throwaway society”? How much solid waste do Americans generate, and how does this amount compare to that of people from other countries? Name several guidelines by which sanitary landfills are regulated. Describe three problems with landfills. What is composting, and how does it help reduce the waste stream?
Security should be a top concern for every network environment. This is especially true in a converged network. Many mission-critical services depend on this infrastructure. A security breach could cause devastating effects on the environment. All measures must be taken to reduce the risk of a security breach.
1. Identify the five different types of toxins. Provide a brief discussion of the effects and include examples. 2 Compare and contrast bacterial and fungal toxins. Provide a brief discussion for each, and include symptoms and examples for each. 3. Identify the five factors that modify toxicity. Provide a brief discussion of each and include at least two examples of each factor.
