1. Report on Simulation:

The assessment strategy supports the emphasis on experiential and enquiry-based learning in progressively supporting the effective integration of theory and practice to facilitate your transition into the professional work environment. You will participate in a competitive business game designed to simulate a realistic management situation. You will engage in the simulation as part of a group and as team of ‘Directors’, over successive periods you will monitor the performance of your own business and the competition, adjusting your strategic and tactical decisions accordingly.

The performance of your team and the final outcome will depend on how effectively you apply theory in practice to support critical analysis and evaluation in context. Your aim is to enact informed problem solving and identify opportunities as a result of your clear decision making. You will need to draw extensively on theories and techniques from your MBA toolkit through taught units, including specific questions regarding your vision, mission, objectives, strategic planning, decision making and key take-always, such as ;

  • Strategic Management
  • Marketing
  • Human Resource Management
  • Performance management
  • Operations Management and Finance

will need to be addressed as a minimum and you will also have the opportunity to highlight other areas of your own choice. You will be assessed on an individual report. This demands in-depth critical analysis and evaluation of theory in practice leading to clear conclusions and feasible recommendations. Your individual report should be 3,000 (+/- 10%) words and cover:

1.On the effectiveness of your individual performance in making team decisions

2.Consider, how theory which you have learnt on the course was demonstrated both in your decisions and how as a team your final recommendations emerged.

Your report must be fully supported by directly relevant quality academic sources in demonstrating the integration between the theoretical academic frameworks and your strategy, planning, decision making and overall performance of your organisation during the simulation. A key aspect of the assignment is that you evidence a clear link between the strategy you adopt during the simulation and the various academic frameworks you have been studying throughout your MBA units to this point in time.

/in /by

Kindly read the attached file (Nuclear Tube Assembly Room). Then, write a case study 3 pages long + Exhibits contains the below instruction and discussed and answered all below questions too. And keep in mind, this work must be completed within 24 hours from now.


CASE PREPARATION FOR CLASS DISCUSSION

NUCLEAR TUBE ASSEMBLY ROOM (A)

And PROCESS ENGINEERING PROPOSAL

Is Ralph Langly a ‘good’ manager? Why? What does he actually do? Is the NTA room an effective organization? What are the behaviors and structural variables that help produce such high productivity and satisfaction? Why do the NTA Room workers behave as they do? What are the ‘norms’ of the room? Why? What do they get out of it? What needs are being met? How? What is the impact of the process design, layout and product design of the NTA room workers’ behaviors? How different are the formal and informal organizational structures?

What accounts for the improvements in productivity? Is the improvement ‘sustainable’? What needs to be done next? What about Harold Singer? What is his role? What are his motivations? Why? Is his behavior ‘functional’ (positive) or ‘dysfunctional’ (negative)? Why? Any advice for him?

Read and evaluate the PROCESS ENGINEERING PROPOSAL. What impact will it have on the NTA workplace? Productivity? Satisfaction and Morale? Why? What should Neil Goodrich do? Why? What should Ralph Langly do? Why? (HINT: reconsider the issue of what are the rewards of working in the NTA room?) How will the Socio-Technical-System of the NTA room change? Will this be positive or negative for the workers, for the firm, for Ralph Langley? Is there a ‘conflict’ between the needs of the workers and the needs of the firm?’ If so, can this conflict be solved? How?

Discuss the above questions on the NTA room and the Process Engineering Proposal. Is the process change necessary for the firm? If so, how should it be introduced and implemented? What should happen to the current workers and to Ralph Langley? Can Ralph manage the ‘new’ system? What should be the roles of Ralph Langley, Herb Singer, Neil Goodrich and the current NTA room workers if the change is deemed needed? Finally; would things have been different in the NTA room if ‘Ralph’ had been ‘Rachael’? In what ways? How might the implementation of the PEP proceed differently? (Hint: do the STS Worksheet and analyze the ‘5 R’s’ for before and after the PEP. How do they change/differ?)

LIMIT: Write 3 PAGES + EXHIBITS

Due to: One day.


Accounting Project (Topic: Footlocker)

Business Report

One to two full in pages in length: single spaced; 12 pt. font. One Inch margins. In your own words.
If you create any small charts they will count for page space. Goal: tell the story of your company in the parameters described below.

Each of the five projects requires you to map out your message, for your supervisor, illustrating your mastery of concepts from our course as they relate to your SEC 10-K Company. Consider this as your employer. As a starting point, for project one:

  1. What products does your company make and sell?
  2. Do they manufacture their products or purchase from others?
  3. Are sales increasing or decreasing? How does this relate to changes in inventory and accounts receivable?

What issues might your company experience related to risk? Search the PDF version of the SEC 10-K for your company for the word risk.

Consider the costs on the income statement. What are the line items? Consider how these relate to the operations of the company. Are they increasing with sales or other changes?

Overall your goal for Project One is to begin to read the Management and Analysis and introductory pages of your SEC 10-K to learn more about your company and the information they reveal. You might also consider the concept of competitive advantage as the company balances the disclosure of required financial information for compliance with good business practices.

Your project is about accounting, using only the SEC 10-K as your source document. Write in your own words but use the resources of our ACCT 301 classroom to place your story in an accounting text.

Reading the SEC 10-K might reveal other companies and brands your company controls, locations where they operate, and other big picture business perspectives.

Part I

Imagine that you are a crime scene investigator, and you have been assigned to three new cases.

Read the description of each case.

Identify whether or not a search warrant is necessary in the following tables. Explain your response.

Case 1

You are a police detective in the white-collar division of the police department. You have received an anonymous call that a male subject at 145 Oak Street is committing fraud and identity theft. The caller explains that the subject has a digital camera, several computers, and printers that he uses to make fake identification cards and fraudulent checks. You and your partner go to this location to conduct an investigative knock and talk. You knock on the door and a male subject answers. You ask if you and your partner can come into the residence to speak with him. The male subject permits the two of you to come into his residence. You immediately notice in plain view two computers and printers on a table. You also notice a stack of identification cards next to the computer. The male subject starts to act nervous.

You obtain a subpoena for the subscriber information from the Internet service provider (ISP). You and your partner decide to contact the subject at the residential address provided by the ISP. Because there are only three files reported by NCMEC, you decide to do a knock and talk. A male subject answers the door.

Psychology homework

/in /by

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, be certain to have read all the required resources for this week. In recent years, the psychology profession has been greatly influenced by various forms of technology. The prevalence of psychology professionals using technology to market themselves and engage, socialize, and interact with others has created new opportunities and challenges. This is particularly true with regard to potential interactions with clients via these technologies. Given the exponential growth with which these technological advancements are permeating our world, we expect to see the proliferation of new issues, challenges, and opportunities within the realms of psychological research and practice.

In your initial post:

  • Provide an overview of the relevant issues, ongoing trends, challenges, and future opportunities for psychology professionals and the populations they serve.
  • Explain how the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct can be used to guide decisions in the ethical application of these technologies.
  • Construct clear and concise arguments using evidence-based psychological concepts and theories to explain how current technological and policy shifts may influence trends in psychological research and practice.
  • Evaluate potential work settings where the use of technologies promotes ease and convenience for both psychology professionals and the populations they serve.

What are the potential responsibilities of the psychology professionals as providers of care with regard to the use of these technologies? Does the increase in ease, convenience, and experience satisfaction for the parties involved outweigh any potential negative outcomes?

Answer throughly please.
