​Identify a time when you believe a company acted unethically.

/in /by

Identify a time when you believe a company acted unethically. Describe the situation and discuss the action on the part of the company that led you to this conclusion. Was it anything to do with the final product or service? Was it associated with the company’s supply chain or labor pool? Did it have to do with the environment? Did they handle consumer information unethically?

Now, examine this from a consumer behavior perspective. When you assessed the situation as unethical, what did you do? In your own words, respond considering the following: Did you stop purchasing products or services from the company? Did you share this information with friends and family? Did you share your findings online? Why or why not?

Week 5 discussion 1 and 2

/in /by

Discussion 1

In your own words, explain what CSR is. Name two examples of socially responsible companies you know and explain why you consider them so.

It is important for companies to incorporate social responsibility into their strategic plans. Give a brief summary of the company you chose in Week 1. What aspects of corporate social responsibility would you recommend they incorporate into its strategic plan? Support your rationale from your research.

Discussion 2

Prior to beginning this discussion, review Chapter 11 in the Abraham’s textbook on Diversified, Global, and Other Types of Organizations and listen to this audio snippet covering International Strategies. When companies expand into the international arena, they do so either because their home market has matured or because they see real opportunities in the foreign market.

Increasing the number of strategic business units requires a more complex business strategy. Sometimes the road to success in a foreign market can be a bumpy one. For insights into some of the more extreme cultural challenges posed when entering foreign markets as experienced by one of the United States’ largest fast food chains, read How McDonald’s conquered India (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (Kannan, 2014) and McDonald’s Settles Beef Over Fries (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (Grace, 2002).

For this discussion, determine whether or not the company operates in the international marketplace. If so, research the company’s international strategy and evaluate it in terms of effectiveness in regards to one of the issues below. If your company is not involved internationally, then choose one that is and evaluate that company’s international strategy in terms of effectiveness in regards to one of the following issues:

  • Cultural Barriers
  • Monetary Exchange Rates
  • Political Instability

Then,

  • Assess how your chosen issue potentially affects the strategic considerations of your organization involved in a global economic environment.
  • Propose language to add to the organization’s strategic plan that addresses the potential impacts to the organization’s global strategy.

I need help with a discussion regarding Balancing work and personal responsibilities

/in /by

In preparation for this discussion, read the following articles:

Balancing work and personal responsibilities can be a challenge. Employers are increasingly acknowledging these struggles and are instituting policies to help address them. Please address the following:

  • Suggest two policies that you think employers could institute that would best promote work-life balance among their employees. Be sure to explain why you think these policies would help.
  • Would all employees benefit from these policies or just certain types of employees?
  • Once these policies are instituted in the workplace, what role does workplace culture play in whether or not employees take advantage of them?
  • What effect would these policies promoting work-life balance have on workplace productivity?

Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.

Middle Eastern Studies Question

/in /by

I’m working on a middle eastern studies project and need support to help me learn.

The master paper and project are due tonight at 11:30pm. Send me the info through here and I will submit it myself. Discussion Board 4 is due Wednesday, if you get it done before then, that’s a plus. I already got a head start on it. I did 3 out of the 6 questions. I’m happy to work with you again. I thank you so much for your help. I will definitely like to do more business with you in the future.

Master project instructions: Students will create a PowerPoint project on a specific topic learned in this course. Students must choose a specific topic from the course. The presentation will be research based and must include images. The PowerPoint will be a total of 12 slides. The first slide must list the specific topic, and the student’s name and course/section number. The next ten slides must introduce, develop, and conclude the topic. The last slide must list all the resources that are used for the PowerPoint.

Master paper is only one length and must include an image: There is not one standard template, but infact there are many ways in which students can create the Master Paper to demonstrate one topic that they have mastered in this course. Students will create a one-page document on a topic that they feel they have “mastered” (learned excellently) because of this course. The paper must be researched, fact-based and contain at least a color image (unless none exist on this topic). The document must include a title and the author’s (student’s) full name, which must be appropriately incorporated in the one-page. The bottom of the paper must include the resources. Students may decide how creatively they wish to make this document (MS Office, Apple Pages, Adobe Illustrator, etc.) The result must look like a published page of a scholarly journal. The one-page document must be Wow! – Intelligent to the mind, and beautiful to the eyes.

I attached the file for discussion board 4 questions and a template for the master paper.

Knowledge Project

/in /by

For
this project, you will be writing a thematic analysis paper. READ DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY! This is
your final paper for high school English, and it should demonstrate
everything you have learned not only in this unit, but in this class,
and in your entire high school career. Rubric: https://intervisualtechnology.us/pxudpothrb/167/18…

Your paper will compare and contrast Macbeth with another piece that we read in this class. This means that first you will need to choose a theme from Macbeth(knowledge, ambition, etc.), and then choose another story from this course that handles a similar theme.Which in this case you will do Macbeth and Beowulf. The books are in the links. http://www.folgerdigitaltexts.org/html/Mac.html https://intervisualtechnology.us/pxudpothrb/167/24…

The focus of your paper should be on how this theme is developed
throughout each story. You should show how the writer uses the plot,
characters, sequencing, or other techniques to create a conclusion about
this theme. (For example, “Shakespeare uses the genre of tragedy to
show us how ambition can lead to an ultimate downfall.”) Then, deepen
the conversation by adding a comparison and contrast to another piece we
read in this class. (“In contrast, the genre of epic glorifies
ambition, which we see clearly through the way Beowulf boasts about his
strength and then goes on to slay his enemies.”)

Focus on these points:

  • What assertion does the story make about the theme? (Ambition is dangerous. Femininity does not mean weakness or frailty.)
  • What techniques does the writer use to create this assertion? (Characters, plot, genre, literary devices, etc.)
  • What similarities are there between the themes in the two stories? (Both Macbeth and Beowulf are prime examples of masculinity.)
  • What significant differences are there between the themes in the two
    stories? (Macbeth ultimately destroys his community, his loved ones,
    and himself; Beowulf uses his strength to save people from a terrible
    monster.)
  • What can we learn about this theme from the comparison and contrast
    of these two stories? (While we see ambition, strength, and cruelty as
    essential parts of masculinity in these two stories, it is in the
    selfishness of the individual that danger lies.)

Your paper must include textual analysis. (Review this unit’s close
reading pages to review.) Use a minimum of six passages (quotes) from
the stories throughout your paper (at least one per story, per body
paragraph).

This essay should be between two and five pages (500-1250 words)
in length. Your final draft should be saved and submitted as .doc or
.pdf file. It should be in 12-point font in Times New Roman.

10% of your grade will be on grammar and mechanics. Write as clearly and correctly as you can. This means that 90% of your grade is based on your ideas – however, you will not earn an A if you do not proofread carefully and check for errors.

Most importantly, remember this is a culminating project for English 12. Your essay should show everything you have learned throughout the class.
