Opinion paper 2Question 1Heading an organizational department comes with a couple of challenges, and it requires comprehensive managerial skills, creativity, and excellent communication skills to efficiently coordinate different activities, committees, and handling of emergencies (Atkinson et al 2006, p.670). Given my responsibility as the university contact person, I have to immediately organize for an emergency meeting with the university executive/ stakeholders, including the EdR representative to discuss the necessary solution for the emergency. Applying the knowledge of communication management, various communication medium will have to be used depending onthe convenience and effectiveness in reaching the target recipient. The topic of discussion will, therefore, be brought for discussion. In the meeting, these would be my contribution (Söderlund 2004, p.190)In reference to the whole scenario, the university has Berry hall as the priority for the emergency available at hand. Given the fact that the hall features 144 double rooms, it is highly certain that each double room should be able to accommodate at least two students for emergency reasons. It implies that the hall has to be organized to accommodate the new students (White and Fortune 2002, p.7). As the EdR representative will be part of the meeting, a mutual understanding will have to be reached on the extra costs that will be channeled for the emergency response. Upon entering the agreement of the additional cost, we can look forward to hiring an emergency hall for the meantime as the construction gets complete to help in accommodating the balance of the students from Berry.
Opinion paper 3For purposes of not compromising the quality of the construction, extra pressure should not be exerted on the construction representative (White and Fortune 2002, p.7). This implies that if the alternatives of hiring an additional hall alongside Berry hall fails, the university committee will have to reach a decision on postponing the reporting date of the students.It should be noted that the preceding opinion is based on the assumption that the construction project will take the shortest time for its completion. In other words, the project willnot take longer than one week after the initially anticipated move-in day (Atkinson et al 2006, p.670).
