What Does the Future Hold? case study: Alternative Work Arrangements:  What Does the Future Hold?

Please read the uploaded files.  Analyze and answer the case study.

Please pay close attention to the uploaded file:  MBA 530 Case Preparation Guidelines”.  The case study has very strict guidelines.

Thank you.

Answer Preview…………… Background. The future of alternative work arrangements is uncertain. Despite this, alternative work arrangements pose significant benefits both to the employees and the employers. The notable outcome of this type of arrangement is flexible working schedules, an aspect that is beneficial to both parties as to increases productivity, employee retention and improved recruitment of qualified workers. However, there are challenges faced with alternative working arrangements such as the inability to ascertain employee performance. Different factors have contributed to the advent of alternative working arrangements including pursuing flexible schedules. The enactment of the Telework Enhancement Act of 2010 by the federal government for its agencies sends a vital message to the private sector on the benefits of alternative work arrangements………………………..

Choose a “wacky” law and post a multiple choice question on when, why, and how it was implemented. For this question, you should offer one true description and three plausible fictitious explanations.

As a response to each of your peers, choose which of the four answers you think is true. Then indicate the implications on health and other policies if it were enforced today. Finally, indicate why it should or should not be repealed or abolished.

For this discussion:

• Initial post: 350 words

Competencies:
5. Discuss the means by which structural bias, social inequities, and racism undermine health and create challenges to achieving health equity at organizational, community, and societal levels.
7. Apply awareness of cultural values and practices to the design or implementation of public health policies or programs.
10. Select methods to evaluate public health programs.
11. Discuss multiple dimensions of the policy-making process, including the roles of ethics and evidence.
19. Apply systems thinking tools to a public health issue.

Learning Objective:
1. Illustrate how the implementation of a rule has an impact on the outcome.

? EXERCISE 286.1 (Cournot’s duopoly game with imperfect information) Write down the maximization problems that determine the best response function each type of each player.      (Denote by q0, q£ , and qh  the outputs of types 0, £, and h of firm 1,

and by qL and qH the outputs of types L and H of firm 2.) Now suppose that the inverse demand function is given by P(Q) = α − Q for Q ≤ α and P(Q) = 0  for

Q > α. For values of cH and cL close enough that there is a Nash equilibrium in which all outputs are positive, find this equilibrium. Check that when π = 0 the equilibrium output of type 0 of firm 1 is equal to the equilibrium output of firm 1

you found in Exercise 285.1, and that the equilibrium outputs of the two types of firm 2 are the same as the ones you found in that exercise. Check also that when π = 1 the equilibrium outputs of type £ of firm 1 and type L of firm 2 are the same

as the equilibrium outputs when there is perfect information and the costs are   c

and cL, and that the equilibrium outputs of type h of firm 1 and type H of firm 2 are the same as the equilibrium outputs when there is perfect information and the

Figure 287.1 The information structure for the model in Section 9.5.2, in which firm 2 does not know whether firm 1 knows its cost. The frame labeled i: x encloses the states that generates the signal x for firm i.

costs are c and cH . Show that for 0 1, the equilibrium outputs of types L

and H of firm 2 lie between their values when π = 0 and when π = 1.

Before you can begin to write a literature review, you must spend a substantial amount of time reviewing the literature to locate the articles that are both relevant to the topic of the review and possess valid and reliable results.

In this assignment, you will review and shortlist articles for the final literature review that you will complete in this course. As you complete this assignment, you will also finalize your research question for the assignment in Module 5 .

In Module 5 , you will script an 8- to 10-page literature review that uses a minimum of five peer-reviewed articles and 2–3 scholarly websites. In order to find five good articles that are the best fit for your literature review, you will need to read at least 10–12 articles. In addition, many of the articles that have sound abstracts may not be the best fit once you read the complete article.

In M1 Assignment 2 , you wrote 2–3 possible research questions. On the basis of these questions and the feedback you received from your instructor and your classmates, develop one strong research question on which you can base your literature review in Module 5 . This research question should clearly depict the variables being examined and the relationship between these variables.

Next, locate ten peer-reviewed articles (not older than five years) from the Argosy University online library resources and five scholarly websites that you feel would be good sources for your literature review.

In your literature review in Module 5 , you are required to include at least one qualitative and one quantitative study and at least one seminal or foundational source (this source may be older than five years). To ensure that you meet this requirement, include the following in your list of sources:

A minimum of one qualitative and one quantitative study.

At least one seminal or foundational source.

For this assignment, you will submit your research question for feedback to the instructor. You will also submit your fifteen sources as a reference page in APA format.

Tasks:

Using the Argosy University online library resources and the Internet, locate the articles and scholarly websites that could be used for your Module 5 literature review. When evaluating the articles and websites, make sure that you consider the validity and reliability of the data collected and the tools that you will use for analysis. Professional literature may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov).

Once you have finalized your list, write an annotated bibliography of these sources. Your annotated bibliography must include a minimum of six peer-reviewed articles and four scholarly websites. You must include the following:

A minimum of one qualitative and one quantitative research study.

At least one seminal or foundational source.

You can find an example of an annotated bibliography in Appendix A of your course textbook Reading and Understanding Research .

these are my 2 questions to choose from

Although these 2 questions are unrelated they are both things I would like to see changed. My first research question would be how can we reduce the stigma of methadone clients being just legal junkies switching one addiction for another? People who have no awareness of methadone have most of the clients already labeled without understanding the need for methadone. My second question would be that in the wake of deaths by returning foster children to their birth parents, what stricter guidelines, supervision or support can be given to birth parents to avoid this? In many ways the system is failing these children.
