Workplace Messaging and Texting

Business
1 answer:
Evgesh-ka [11]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The questions are in three parts, so I will group them accordingly and only write out the checked answers.

Part 1: What benefits will you mention to your supervisor? Check all that apply.

IM enables real-time communication anywhere in the world

IM is a convenient alternative to the telephone

Part 2: Which option is the best practice to avoid security issues?

Do not send confidential or sensitive information via IM or text

Part 3: Which texting guidelines does Jeanne ignore in this situation? Check all that apply.

Alert the sender when the sender has sent you a message by mistake

Don't text in inappropriate situations

Explanation:

Part 1: Instant Messaging (IM) enabling real time communication means that communication can be done without delay in delivery, and this is of advantage in a workplace especially one that is large and has sub-units because the barrier of distance is breached. For example, if a member of the team is not present at work and an information is needed urgently from him/her, using IM that person can be reached easily and a response gotten immediately.

Also, IM is a convenient alternative to the telephone because it is a cheaper alternative, more information can be passed and communication can take place at a lower cost. Besides this, it ensures the maintenance of a more serene environment at work because it is a non-audible form of communication as opposed to telephone, which is an audible form of communication and can cause noise pollution in the work place if a large number of workers are talking at the same time and if they are talking loudly too. Thirdly, because it is a visual form of communication, discrete and personal information can be passed without the other workers hearing or knowing about it.

saying that IM allows for speedy recovery of lost documents may not be helpful in this situation because first of all, the supervisor will have a sense that using IM will promote carelessness, because of the ease to recover lost documents and it is not entirely true that IM can be used to recover lost documents, it is mainly for communication and uses text messages.

Part 2: IM like every other virtual forms of communication is easily prone to security mishaps, because a glitch in the transmission channel can lead to sensitive information being lost or exposed to inappropriate audience, hence as a best practice to avoiding security issues, sensitive or confidential information should be as much as possible not be sent using IM or text.

The other options; respecting receivers by using good grammar and proper spelling and making oneself unavailable does not have anything to do with improving security so they remain unchecked.

Part 3: guidelines are made to prevent abuse and misuse, the same applies for texting especially in the workplace. From the scene described in the third part, Jeanne, knowing that the sender sent the wrong message should have prompted the sender on this because this could have easily been avoided if the information was passed person-to-person, since the sender is seeing the receiver so he/she knows which particular Jeanne to talk to, so, responding to a message that is not meant for you is a default in the use of texting. Secondly, Jeanne was in the middle of a conversation when the text came in, since the situation was not urgent, she could have finished with the conversation with her supervisor before responding to the text message so she violated another texting guideline. Now just imagine that you were Jeanne's supervisor, how would you feel when she abruptly pauses your conversation to respond to a text message.

The first option is actually true, sad news or sensitive business matters are not passed via text messaging but it does not apply in the context described, while not expecting instant reply is not a guideline.

On January 1, 2012, Gucci Brothers Inc. started the year with a $492,000 balance in Retained Earnings and a $605,000 balance in
dsp73

Answer:

option (C) $1,201,300

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Balance in retained earnings = $492,000

Balance in Common Stock = $605,000

Net income earned = $92,000

Dividend paid = $15,200

Common stocks issued = $27,500

Now,

Common Stock

= Balance in Common Stock + Common stocks issued

= $605,000 + $27,500

= $632,500

Retained Earnings

= Balance in retained earnings + Net income earned - Dividend paid

= $492,000 + $92,000 - $15,200

= $568,800

Total Stock Holders Equity on Dec 31,2012

= Common Stock + Retained Earnings

= $632,500 + $568,800

= $1,201,300

Hence,

The answer is option (C) $1,201,300

Taylor Music Center has 5 CD players on hand at the balance sheet date. Each costs $400. The current replacement cost is $380 pe
babymother [125]

The correct answer is $380 per unit.

The lower-of-cost-or market rule requires that you report the lower value of either the purchase price or current market price of items in inventory. In this case the current market price is lower, so it should be used when calculating the value of inventory.

Goals and objectives should be set ________.Multiple Choiceat the beginning of marketing planningat the end of the situation ana
storchak [24]

Answer:

Option D. After completion of market research, situation analysis, and competitor analysis

Explanation:

The reason is that the company always sets objectives and goals when it analyzes the business environment, the way competitor would react, product demand, etc and all these things come from market research, situation analysis, competitor analysis, position analysis, capability analysis, etc. This gives a clear picture where the organization must head towards. So after completion of these analysis and research, company is able to set goals.

Always remember that the company sets its goals before marketing planning (Option A) and after situation analysis (Option B) because it helps define what number of sales we need which formulates the marketing planning.

Option C is incorrect because strategies are set after the objectives and goals are set because the strategies are always alligned with the objectives and goals.

Option E is incorrect because Goals and Objectives are set always after the SWOT and PESTLE analysis not during these studies.

Here the only only option with broader meaning is option D which also includes the Option A and Option B.
