Select at least one of your peers’ posts (that has not yet been addressed). Think critically about the position they have taken. What was the least compelling part of the argument presented? What evidence was lacking? What viewpoints were ignored or misconstrued? And, of course, what was convincing about the argument? What swayed your opinion? How do you see the issue in a new light, based on what your classmate has presented?

Here’s one of my peer’s post:

“When choosing the strategy best suited for a company in regards to international human resource management, the leadership must look at the culture and philosophies within the business. There are four IHRM orientations that could be considered:

1. Ethnocentric-the employees in this orientation tend to follow the parent organizations home country HRM practices that are already in place. Key upper level positions are usually filled with people from the home country while all other lower level positions are filled locally as well. Choosing these types of people to fill the positions benefits the company by easy recruitment, loyal employees, training is kept to a minimal and decisions are made internally on site.

2. Polycentric- the employees in this orientation use home country nationals for top management and most technical positions. Mid-level positions are chosen by past level performance in home country. Adapts IHRM practices to the country. A polycentric orientation can reduce costs in training, alleviates language barriers and keeps hiring and relocation costs to a minimum.

3. Regiocentric-Similar to the polycentric, employees for top positions in management and technical positions are chosen from the home country. Mid-level employees are also chosen by past performance in their home country. The main difference between polycentric and regiocentric is that while polycentric adapts the IHRM practices to the country, regiocentric adapts them to the region. Regiocentric has the same benefits as polycentric.

4. Global-the global orientation in IHRM focuses more on choosing the most qualified individual for the position, rather than relying on the country or location having the best people suited for the position. A global search will be held and the most qualified person will fill the position. The benefits of the global orientation are that it opens up the talent pool immensely, creates a multinational employee with expertise ranging far beyond a single country or region and the employee can focus more on the business culture rather than the local culture.

Write a 250 word response in regards to the answer below.

Cyber: Is it land? No. Is it air? No. Is it sea? No. Is it space? No. By process of elimination I reach my point —- cyber, is a domain. Yes, cyber exists within all of the other domains, though air is above water, and we do not attempt to combine them. Water connects land. And space envelopes all other domains. Cyber might be man-made, but it still follows the laws of physics, yet is unique at the same time. It an an operating environment that requires new attitudes towards and study of. In fact, if cyber is not a domain of its own, what domain does it fall under?

Our readings show a stark contrast of opinion between Rattray and Libicki. Rattray embraces cyber as a domain, while Libicki asserts the opposite. Libicki (2012) infers that cyber is not a domain because if it so easily manipulated in support of it’s own defense, while Rattray states that in regards to cyber, “offense is easy, and defense is difficult” (Kramer, Starr, & Went, 2009, p. 272).

Libicki (2012) claims that “calling cyberspace a warfighting domain also promotes the urge to force-draft warfighting concepts from the earlier domains”. To me, Libicki seems afraid of the future; afraid of change. Rattray has a much more forward thinking approach, apparent in a concluding statement, “This new environment may require substantially different approaches due to its more mutable, human-driven characteristics” (Kramer et al, 2009, p. 274).

In my opinion the challenge to lawmakers with cyber is dealing with something completely new to them. The characteristics of cyber are foreign to most of us, and finding an appropriate balance of action is no easy task. While in 2017 cyber is considered a domain by the vocal majority, where is the line drawn? Where do the boundaries of cyber end? For example, is the electromagnetic spectrum it’s own domain or does it fall under cyber or something else?

Problem: in excel solver should be used

A chocolate maker has contracted to operate a small candy counter in a fashionable store. To start with, the selection of offerings will be intentionally limited. The counter will offer a regular mix of candy made up of equal parts of cashews, raisins, caramels, and chocolates, and a deluxe mix that is one-half cashews and one-half chocolates. In addition, the candy counter will sell the four candies individually.

A major attraction of the candy counter is that all candies are made fresh at the counter. However, storage space for supplies and ingredients is limited. Bins are available that can hold the amounts shown in the following table:

CandyCapacity (Pounds/Day)

Cashews40

Raisins45

Caramels35

Chocolates40

In order to present a good image and to encourage purchases, the counter will make at least 20 pounds of each type of candy each day. Assume that demand of the candies is such that regardless of candy mix all candy can be sold every day. Formulate the problem in order to maximize profit.

The profit per pound for the various candies is as follows:

CandyProfit per Pound

Regular.80

Deluxe.90

Cashews.70

Raisins.60

Caramels.50

Chocolates.75

The chocolate maker has two employees, Olga and Sven, who prepare the chocolates for sale. Each employee works 480 minutes per day but the amount of time each employee takes to prepare a pound of the various candies varies. The labor time per pound is listed below:

CandyOlga Labor (Minutes)Sven Labor (Minutes)

Regular1110.5

Deluxe1012

Cashews46

Raisins65

Caramels74

Chocolates76

In order to avoid quarrels between Olga and Sven, the chocolate maker wants each to prepare the same number of pounds of candies each day.

Deliverable 1 (10 points):

  1. Give a typed formulation with decision variables clearly defined and all constraints clearly defined.
  2. Solve the formulation in solver. Deliverable 2 (7 points):The chocolate maker is somewhat quirky, to put it mildly! He does not want to ‘slight’ the four main candies, (Cashews, raisins, caramels, chocolates) so he wants to use the same proportion of the available pounds of each of the four candies each day.Requirements:
  1. Give a typed formulation with decision variables clearly defined and all constraints clearly defined.
  2. Solve the formulation in solver. Deliverable 3 (3 points):The chocolate maker would like to simplify the daily production so has decided that the production of each of the six candies each day will be in full pounds only.Requirements:

Essay-in-Celebrities-in-the-21st-century-

/in /by

Celebrities in the 21st century have been actively involved in charity giving around the world, particularly in developing countries. Not only do they become ambassadors of global and local nonprofit organisations, but they also set up their own foundations to support various social causes, and direct the public attention they receive towards humanitarian projects. Choose a celebrity from Hollywood or around the world, and use the Circuit of Culture theory model (Curtin and Gaither, 2005) to explore your chosen celebrity’s publicity effort in promoting their chosen social cause. Your response should illustrate the dynamics of the model’s five ‘moments’ (representation, production, consumption, identity, and regulation), and discuss specific media examples (e.g. promotional materials and news reports) to support your analysis and critical evaluation.

Example of Good Faith Effort

Below is an example of a good faith effort response on a CPA for my MGT310 Human Resources class. You will see the level of detail that the student provided. This is the level of detail I expect in your responses on your CPAs.

1. Discuss the various types of rating errors that may exist in performance evaluation.

Rating errors are usually made by managers when rating employee performance. To begin, there are two categories of rating errors. The first is distributional errors which a single rating leans towards a group of employees. Second is temporal errors which can be bias toward one person and leans toward ratings that are bias by the rater.

Distributional Errors:

  1. Error of central tendency is when a manager will rate all employees average. This happens because that manager does not want to give extremely high or low ratings because he/she does not want to seem unfair.
  2. Leniency or strictness is opposite of the error of central tendency. This is when a manger rates employees with abnormally high or low ratings. This happens because a manger believes either his employees are the best or the worst. It can be hard for a manger to admit if his employees are not thriving since their reputation is on the line as well.
  3. Forced distribution is when a manager is forced to place a certain number or percent of employees in a category. For example, a manager may need to place 30% of employees in the, “poor rated category” to make sure 100% is not average or perfect. This can lead to problems when rating employees because 30% must be rated low; resulting in a number of employees having to fail even if they do not deserve to be in that category.

Temporal Errors:

  1. Recency Error happens when the rating evaluation is conducted after employees had either good or bad recent behavior that can sway their ratings in one direction. This can lead to problems when evaluating employees because if an employee has been underperforming for months but performs well right before the evaluation, then he/she may receives a better rating overall when that person should have received a lower rating.
  2. Contrast Errors happens when an employee is compared to another employee which weighs differently in the rating of the employee being evaluated. For example, If I sell 500 units and that is compared to a person that sells 1000, I will look less productive. Inversely, if I sell 1000 units and I am compared to a person who sold 500 units I look like an amazing employee.
