According to the textbook, ongoing challenges in the global business environment are mostly attributed to unethical business practices, failure to embrace technology advancements, and stiff competition among businesses. Imagine that you have been appointed as Apple’s Chief Compliance Officer and must prepare a presentation for Apple’s suppliers regarding Apple’s Supplier Code of Conduct. To prepare for your presentation, review Apple’s Supplier Code of Conduct, located at https://www.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/. Next, you must submit a four to six (4-6) page paper.

In addition, you must also create a presentation using PowerPoint (or other equivalent software) summarizing the important changes and explanations regarding the code of conduct that you communicated in your presentation to email to the suppliers after the meeting for future reference.

You must submit both parts of the assignment to receive full credit.

  3. Provide detailed speaker notes of what you would say if you were delivering the presentation.
  4. Submit a reference page with at least two (2) quality references that you have used for this presentation / paper. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

If you choose the written paper, your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

-The-Texas-constitution-has-been-amended-nearly-500-times-

/in /by

According to this week’s readings, The Texas constitution has been amended nearly 500 times. Back in November of 2005, Texans went to the polls to vote on Proposition 2 to amend the Texas constitution. It was a measure aimed at prohibiting same-sex marriages in the state. Supporters of Proposition 2 wanted to ensure that the Texas constitution had provisions in place that would prevent future legislation supporting gay marriage. The measure passed. Nearly 76% of Texans voted in support of the proposition.

In 2015 case Obergefell v. Hodges the Supreme Court ruled that was marriage was a fundamental right guaranteed by all under the equal protection clause in the fourteenth amendment. This action made the Texas Constitutional amendment null. A Hood county clerk, Katie Lang refused to issue Licenses to same sex couple on the account of her religious beliefs. Attorney General K. Paxton also weighed in on the matter.

Is the Texas Constitution too specific? Should specific provisions like Proposition 2 even be added to a state constitution?Are amendments like this making our state constitution longer? What are your thoughts about the issue? Do you think Texas had the right to not allow same-sex marriages before and after the 2015 court case? How do you feel about Lang’s actions? How do you feel about Paxton’s actions? I also want to make the distinction among personal beliefs, fundamental rights and the actions of government. In other words, your answers to these questions can be mutually exclusive or don’t have to be connected. It is perfectly acceptable to have differing beliefs from one another, but please express them in an intelligent and respectful manner.

/in /by

Meeting the expectations of stakeholders and being socially responsible are generally important goals for the modern organization. However, as stated in our text on pages 96-97, some economists argue that social responsibility should not be part of the strategic decision-making process. Do you agree or disagree? Please explain your answer and support your ideas with examples.This is a good opportunity to explore your company’s view on social responsibility.

Prior to participating in this discussion please watch the video of transformational leaders giving speeches.

Once you have watched the video answer the two questions below in two separate posts/threads. In order to receive full credit for posting you must make two original posts answering the questions and provide two replies to others(I will do this). Original posts made ON the due date can only earn up to half credit so post early and get the discussion going!

  1. In the video you see speeches by John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., and Ronald Reagan. These individuals are addressing different audiences, at different times, for different purposes, but they use common themes in their speeches. What are some of the common themes you hear? What is some of the common language that is used? Given what you know about transformational leadership, why do you think they (or the speech writer) chose those words?
  2. In the podcast I talk about how the situation is not always right for a transformational leader to be successful. Give an example (either personal or from something you have seen/read) of a successful or unsuccessful transformational leader. What if anything about the context (e.g., industry, marketplace, competition, time in history, etc.) do you believe assisted or hindered the person in their efforts to be successful.
  3. the 1st part of the 1st video is from 11’36” to 12’36” on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLmiOEk59n8. the 2nd part of the 1st video is from 1’23” he says ‘ i have a dream’ to 3’17” on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vDWWy4CMhE. the 3rd part of the 1st video is from 3’04” he says ” I wish I could talk to every man and woman’ to end of this video on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qq1jr7UntFw. these three parts combined the first video.
  4. the second video is from 0’16” to 2’37” on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYyZqlyDEL4.

Milestone-Two-Message-Array

/in /by

Write an application that uses an Array to store 10 messages of type String. You can load this data structure with 10 messages of your choosing. For example a message could be “I love Java the programming language!” or another message could be “I love Java the drink!” You can initialize your Array with the messages or have the user enter the messages. The choice is yours. Once your Array is loaded with 10 messages, use a loop to iterate through your entire list and display each message. Your Java code will contain a method called shoutOutCannedMessage() that will loop through the Array to iterate through your entire list and display each message and allow the user to select one. The shoutOutCannedMessage() will return the selected message String.

Submit your .class and .java files as one zipped folder.

For additional details, please refer to the Milestone Guidelines
