For this assignment, you will create a communication strategy that fosters change and innovation in an organization. Explain the context in which it occurs and the options that are available. Develop a solution that will solve the organizational issue and meet the needs of the people involved.
Feel free to use the same organization you researched for the Unit VI and Unit VII assignments. You are not limited to this organization, but it may be easier to complete the assignment since you have already researched it for Unit VI and/or Unit VII. You can use the same sources for all assignments, if applicable.
In the report, you will provide a potential audience analysis, create a purposeful message, and discuss a type of channel that you could use for feedback. Include answers to Neal's (2010) communication questions, which are listed below:
1. What am I trying to achieve?
2. How will my audience react to what I am trying to achieve?
3. Will my message be resisted?
4. What do I know about my audience that will help me tailor my message? (p. 40)
Do not include the question/answers in a bullet or list format. Instead, integrate the responses in your paragraphs.

Unit VII Mini Project
For this assignment, you will research the different ways that managers and leaders use communication to guide their organizations.
Feel free to use the same organization you researched for the Unit VI Case Study. You are not limited to this organization, but it may be easier to complete the assignment since you have already researched the organization in Unit VI. You can use the same sources for both assignments, if applicable.
Find an instance where the organizational leader communicates directly with his or her employees, investors, or customers. Analyze the message, the channel, and the potential for feedback. Do you believe that it is effective? Do you believe that it is the same type of message that a manager would send? Why, or why not?
Remember to focus on the communication styles of both leaders and managers. Strive for an equal balance between the two types of communication styles in your assignment.
Example: The Apple events that occur in Cupertino whenever Apple unveils a new product or service are examples of the type of communication you should be analyzing in this assignment. During the events, CEO Tim Cook addresses an audience of employees, investors, and the general public. Cook uses multiple channels to communicate with the audience, including a live face-to-face discussion, live streaming of the discussion, and a recorded video. For the assignment, you would view one of the events, analyze Cook's message and the effectiveness of the channels, and discuss the potential for feedback. Analyze whether or not the message is an effective example of leadership. Explain whether or not you believe a manager could, or should, use the same types of channels to relay a message. Would it be effective?
Note: You do not need to use Apple for this assignment. It is provided as an example only.
Use the standard five-paragraph format (introduction/body/conclusion). Include at least two academic sources. APA format should be used. The assignment should be a minimum of two pages in length, not including the title and reference pages. Content, organization, and grammar/mechanics will be evaluated.

William Queen owns all the stock in Able and Baker Corporations.Able, a successful enterprise, has generated excess working capital of $3 millions. Baker is still in its developmental stages and has had substantial capital needs. To meet some of these needs, William had Able lend baker $2 millions during year 1 and year 2. These loans are secured by Baker notes, but not other Baker property. Able has charged Baker interest at a rate ordinarily charged by a commercial lender. Upon reviewing able's books in the audit of its year 1 tax return, as IRS agent indicates that Able is liable for the accumulated earning tax because of its built up excess working capital and its loans to Baker. Later this week, you will meet with the agent third time. Before this meeting, you must research whether loans to a related corporation to finance its working capital meet a reasonable need of the business. At a meeting to discuss this problem, William asks whether filing a consolidated tax return would eliminate this potential problem and, if so, how must the ownership structure change to accomplish this objective. Partial list of research source is

3. CONCLUSION: IS THERE ANY YES OR NO CONCLUSION?
4. FIND ANALYSIS AND QUOTE VARIOUS TAX AUTHORITIES. EXPLAIN WHAT EACH AUTHORITY IS SAYING AND HOW IT RELATES TO ANY TAX CLASS.
Answer
According to general rule of Sec.532 and 537 accumulated earning taxes will be imposed to every corporation formed for the purpose of avoiding the income tax. In the above case William and able has lend money to baker because baker is in substantial need of capital. Able has lent money and charging normal interest rate. Able has not done this to avoid tax. It is a kind of loan and any corporation can give this type of loan to another corporation. Accumulated tax will apply to the corporation formed for the purpose of avoiding tax. So AET will not be applied here. Consolidated TAX return is not required here.
