West gets into examples right at the start. There is a section for each company with a header naming the company and what they sell. She provides a synopsis of each company\u2019s manifesto, what spurred them into creating it and who wrote it. She provides links to the companies\u2019 websites and includes photos from each workplace. Last, she provides an update on what each company is doing currently. Finally, after focusing on what she most likely believes are outstanding models of company manifestos, West proceeds to educate readers on how they too can create a statement of their organization\u2019s core cultural values. It is understood, based on the publication her article appears in and the companies she chose to highlight, that the audience she is attempting to reach are social change leaders in business. Most leaders don\u2019t have a lot of spare time, so when they read an article, it\u2019s because the title was catchy (perhaps it mentions a problem that needs solving). The content is straight to the point, easily digestible, visually appealing, not too long and offers solutions. I believe Ms. West was adept at including all of those elements in her article and will surely reach and inform her intended audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Response #2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am strongly considering writing my area of research as an online business magazine article in order to reach leaders of organizations. Part of my decision-making process stems from the material I want to convey. Because equity and inclusion for Black people might be considered an important and hot topic in this moment for some, it might also be a divisive or scary one for others. I think (depending on the chosen title) I might reach more people in a magazine that isn\u2019t threatening but also lends its authority to the subject simply by publishing it. An online magazine article isn\u2019t stuffy like a scholarly article, it contains casual or informal language and often tells a story with text broken up into sections with headers. There are images and links to data or more scholarly articles for those so inclined to explore them. As I stated in my first response, leaders don\u2019t have a lot of free time, so an article that is visually appealing, easy to absorb, offers a solution to a problem and is a relatively quick read will be appealing to my intended audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Response # 1 Author Mollie West helps companies to create good organizational culture.
