Objectives This assessment task relates to UNIT learning outcomes numbers 1 to 6. Before starting this assessment read the marking criteria (below) and information about academic essay writing on the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) website: http://moodle.cqu.edu.au/UNIT/view.php?id=1497 (Click ‘Academic Communication’) There is plenty of useful information on the ALC site that assists with your studies. Purpose This written assessment is designed to assist students to develop skills in the analysis of human resource issues based on relevant human resource theories and models. The secondary purpose of this assessment task is to give students the opportunity to enhance their analysis, critical thinking and written communication skills; particularly in the areas of developing argument and essay writing. Description
Assessment task 2 requires the writing of an ACADEMIC ESSAY. This essay should be an ‘argumentative essay’, and must therefore contain an argument that is used as the structuring element of the essay. Students are expected to engage in extensive research within the academic literature (peer reviewed journals) relevant to the task and evidence your argument from scholarly sources.
Task Details In April 2017, the Australian Government announced the abolition of the Temporary Work (Skilled) (subclass 457) visa and replaced it with a completely new Temporary Skills Shortage (TSS) visa. http://www.minister.border.gov.au/peterdutton/2017…

Provide an overview of these said changes from the 457 visa to the TSS visa and include reference to the original purpose of the 457 visa when introduced by the Howard government in 1996. Identify the key stakeholders and their perspectives in relation to the changes from the 457 visa to the TSS visa and the broader foreign worker debate in Australia. Critically discuss how the changes from the 457 visa to the TSS visa will impact Australian business and their human resource planning and associated recruitment practices. Use examples from two specific industries, which you consider significantly impacted by the changes to evidence your argument.

Instructions
This essay should be a 600-900 word essay focusing on the assigned readings from the course. It is due by 11:55 pm ET on Sunday of Week 6.
  • This should be a close reading essay, and should use as evidence primarily passages from the work or works that you discuss. You may not use ANY outside sources without the instructor’s approval.
  • The essay should be in MLA essay format (see the attached sample essay below), and use MLA citations. A works cited entry and in-text citations for each text discussed are required.
  • It should have a self-assessment (which should answer these questions) as the first page.
  • Analytical essays should be focused on making a debatable claim about the work in question; creative submissions should be focused on presenting a work or kind of work from a different angle. Informational essays or essays consisting of summary are not appropriate for either type of essay. Both types of essay should be supported with discussion of specific passages from the text(s) on which the essay is focused. The grading rubrics for both analytical and creative choices are attached.
 
DISCLAIMER: Originality of attachments will be verified by Turnitin. Both you and your instructor will receive the results.
 

Choose 1 of the following topics from either the Analytical or Creative categories. For the analytical choices, be sure to write a thesis-driven essay in response to the topic. Creative choices should be written as narratives.

Analytical Choices
    1. Defining the Sacred: choose 2 sacred works that we have read, 1 from the two Abrahamic faiths (Islam and Christianity) and 1 from the Eastern religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, and Confucianism) and make an argument about what similarities these excerpts have, and what those similarities can tell us about what it means for any work to be “sacred.”

 

    1. Tragedy Across the Mediterranean: Consider “The Tale of Sohrab” from the Shahnameh in comparison to Oedipus Tyrannus from the Week 2 readings. Make an argument about whether the two works are more alike or different and why. Focus your thesis on one particular aspect of the two works such as protagonists, themes, central conflicts, or other another element that you see as important.

 

  1. Make your own topic: create your own critical question to answer in your essay. If you choose this topic you must contact the instructor for approval by Thursday of Week 6. Essay submissions with unapproved topics will be returned.

Creative Choices

    1. The Tale as Told by Another Character: Re-write 1 of our readings from the point of view of a character other than the original protagonist/main character (you may use any of the fiction—Jataka Tales, Oedipus Tyrannus, The Lay of Lanval, The Tale of Genji—for this, but write it as a short story). Make your new version no more than 900 words (Part 1). Also include a follow-up “Author’s Note” of about 200 words (Part 2) that explains why you made the choices you did in presenting your new version of the story.


  1. In the Style Of . . . : Choose 1 work from our readings and re-write in the style of another work we read (for instance, re-write part of a Jataka Tale as a play, part of the Bhagavad Gita as a Confucian-style set of sayings, or some part of The Lay of Lanval as a poem in the style of Li Bai). Make your new version no more than 900 words (Part 1). Also include a follow-up “Author’s Note” of about 200 words (Part 2) that explains why you made the choices you did in presenting your new version of the story.
     
  2. A Tale for Our Time: choose 1 work from Weeks 3-6 and write a version of it that is aimed at a modern audience. For instance, what would The Art of Courtly Love be like if Andreas Cappellanus were writing for Millennials? What sort of tale might the Buddha have told about an earlier incarnation if he had been born at the end of the 20th century? Make your new version no more than 900 words (Part 1). Also include a follow-up “Author’s Note” of about 200 words (Part 2) that explains why you made the choices you did in presenting your new version of the story.

Strategic Supply Chain Management

/in /by

Focus of the Final Paper

Strategic Warehouse Management, Inc. (SWM) is a U.S. based warehousing organization in the construction and management of warehouse operations. The CEO’s market development team has determined that there is an opportunity to open a warehouse in Australia that could serve multiple businesses. The CEO plans to open a “non-resident company” (Land and Tax News, 2012). The CEO has also decided that the warehouse can be opened in any city in Australia. Some clients in Australia have also asked SWM to manage the flow of goods from Australia to U.S. locations. The CEO wants to get a preliminary plan developed as soon as possible before going further.

The CEO asked you to design a supply chain that includes warehouse operations in any city in Australia. In addition, the CEO has a number of items he’d like to see you cover in the report. He has asked you to:

  • Develop requirements for the warehouse design and to provide an organization structure to manage the warehouse in Australia.
  • Present considerations for Workforce Management
  • Investigate key regulations and other key issues (e.g. labor climate) related to managing a warehouse in Australia as a foreign entity.
  • Develop export procedures and import procedures in the U.S.
  • Discuss supply chain risks and possible mitigations.
  • Analyze which operations SWM would outsource and which operations SWM would directly manage and explain why.
  • Outline the budget line items that would need to be considered (it is not necessary to develop a budget with dollar figures).
  • Determine the metrics you would use to measure success of the warehouse and the total supply chain.

Your report should be an eight to ten page APA style paper (not including the title and reference pages) and submitted to the CEO (your instructor) by the last day of the class. You are required to include at least 6 scholarly sources
