The focus of this assignment is on three different approaches to work design: The Engineering Approach The Motivational Approach The Sociotechnical Approach Create a 5-minute presentation (5-6 slides) demonstrating your knowledge of one of the three work design approaches. Use at least two other resources outside of the course material. Include voice-over in your presentation to explain the material presented in your slides. You may use Kaltura to create a recorded presentation. Include items such as: Overview/focus areas for this approach Types of jobs/companies that would benefit from this design Examples of jobs/companies currently using this design How would you integrate this design in an organization

heterothermic organisms include those organisms that can switch between homeothermic (having body temperature higher than environment) and poikilothermic (having variation in internal body temperature) strategies.

some migratory birds show heterothermy as they decrease their metabolic rate during cold nights to keep their body temperature low. drop in metabolic rate allows increase in production efficiency of birds that reduces the internal body temperature to make it equal to external cold temperature during cold nights.

thus, the correct answer is 'birds allow their temperature drop in order to increase their production efficiency.'

answer: in the short-run firms will respond by raising the price of turkey.

explanation: initially the long-run equilibrium is at a price of $5 per pound of turkey and a quantity of 50 million pounds per year. now, when webmd claims that a protein found in turkey will increase your expected lifespan by 4 years. the consumers demand for turkey will increase at every price shifting the demand curve to the right from d1 to d2. while, there will be no change in the supply curve in the short-run as it is not possible for producers to adjust supply so quickly. as a result the new equilibrium will occur at a higher price and a higher quantity of turkey.

thus, in the short run firms will respond by increasing the price of turkey, selling more quantity at a higher price and earning economic profits.
