What Are You Talking About? 

Traveling is a kind of activity, which almost all people love. For someone, it is an opportunity to relax and abstract from everyday busy life. For others, it is interesting to observe the way people of other cultures and mentality live. Some people consider it to be the best way to have fun.

    2.    Why Are You Interested in It?

We choose traveling as a topic because we all know about travel. Travel is an incredible thing, and every trip must leave us some happy and terrible memories. I believe our team members have traveled to a lot of places, and there must be something memorable in every place. It is interesting that our members can share travel experiences and collect them as bulleted points of what we have learned during the trip; why we like to travel and where we recommend you go.

    3.  How Will You Be Presenting It?
    We will be presenting our topic by using a slideshow format, and each of our group members will be reporting a different city or country that we will be traveling or we did travel. We choose using slideshow because it is an easier, clear, and convenient way to report information to the audiences, and we can report it in order by each step, so we will not be messed up. And also slideshow can include pictures or video links to show and make it a more integrated understanding for the audiences.

    4.  What Do You Want the Audience/Reader to Take Away?
   
    At the end of our presentation, we would like to persuade our audience to consider traveling and explore the world. Our group consists of travelers and we have been all around the world. For example, China, Dubai, Australia and those are just some of the places we traveled to. We want to provide information to those who have not traveled out of the United States before and let them know what it’s like outside of the states. We know that there are many people who are afraid to travel out of their country but we can assure you that it is safe and will provide information for them to stay safe. In the end, we want our audience to explore and experience what our planet offers.

The purpose of this assignment is to assess the effectiveness of a company’s operational and organizational strategies and processes.

Previously, your CLC group conducted an extensive assessment of your selected firm’s external and internal environment and of the elements influencing both. Reflect on this research and analysis as you move forward assessing the next steps for the firm and how to increase value for the shareholders and stakeholders involved. This question of value is largely influenced by the firm’s ability to be optimally organized and operated.

Compose a written assessment of your selected firm’s organizational strategies and operational processes, evaluating what changes need to be made and what procedures need to be maintained in order to outfit the firm for increasing success.

Address each of the following issues in a 1,250-1,500-word paper:

    How does the current organizational and operational structure, including the system of corporate governance, benefit the firm? How does the current organizational and operational system challenge the firm’s success? What would have to change to reverse how structural issues are impeding the firm’s success?

What are the risks associated with this strategy and how might they be managed?
    What internal governance mechanisms would you propose to monitor managers’ decision making?
