SCARF Project

For this assignment you will write a reflective essay, where you will analyze how SCARF impacts you personally within your career. My career is a Store Manager in Retail.

You will analyze the elements of; Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Fairness, and Relatedness in general and then provide examples to develop a framework of how you personally respond to each element within your current workplace. You may use your assessment results from the unit one work to support your discussion. Below I attached my assessment documents to help.

Finally, discuss how the SCARF model and your assessment results either confirmed aspects that you already believed about yourself or whether they are at odds with your self-perception of yourself within an organizational group.

The assignment should be submitted as a Word document, APA format is required. Title page and reference page are not counted in the 3-4 page count requirement.

Assignment1 – Article summary and critique

The assignment consists in writing a summary and brief critique for this article (The article is available through the Bell library, electronic databases):

Fulgoni, Gian M., and Andrew Lipsman (2015). “Digital Word of Mouth and its Offline Amplification.” Journal of Advertising Research, Vol. 55, Issue 1, 18-21.

The assignment will comprise two parts:

1. First, indicate briefly the research question or objective, and prepare a summary with major findings or key points (see the summary outline below).
2. Then, complete a brief article critique (see the critique outline below).

Summary Outline

Identify and list the inherent key points of the article. Each key point should be a statement of the specific idea you are conveying. You then go on to elaborate. Discuss each key point in some detail. (The expectation is you will include your own thoughts, not a rehash of the reading). Be sure to indicate how these points apply to Social Media Marketing and how you are going to use them.

Critique Outline

• Title
  • Does the title make clear the purpose of the study and variables of interest?
• Statement of the problem or research question
  • Is the purpose of the study or research question clearly indicated? State the purpose and/or research question.
• Results or findings
  • Are the connections between the results (key points) and related literature (theory) described? If so, how?
• Conclusions and implications
  • Are the conclusions clearly presented? Briefly, state the conclusions.
  • Are the conclusions and implications supported by the results or findings? If so, how?

Format

• The minimum number of pages is 2 ½ and the maximum number is 3.
• No references are required for this assignment.
• Please use Times New Roman font, 12 pt.
• Be precise, concise and to the point.

THE RUBLIC IS SAME PER LAST ASSIGNMENT

MUST INCLUDE AN EXCEL OF THE CALCULATION PER QUESTION AND 750 WORDS DOCUMENT EXPLANATION OF THE CALCULATION IN DETAIL AND PART b

Part One:

One of your clients, Moore Manufacturing has asked you to assist them
in evaluating their performance against their budgets. The management
of Moore Manufacturing has provided the following standard cost sheet
for one of its products:

Direct Materials	6 lb @ $2 per pound	$12
Direct Labor	3 hrs @ $25 per hr	$75
Variable factor overhead	2 hrs @ $4 per hour	$8
Fixed factory overhead	2 hr @ $15 per hour	$30
Cost per unit		$125

Moore Manufacturing applies factory overhead based on direct labor
hours and factory overhead is allocated based on a practical capacity of
500 units of product.

The actual operating results for the year are as follows:

Units manufactured		400
Direct materials purchased and used	1,800 pounds	$19,800
Direct labor incurred	750 hours	20,250
Variable factory overhead incurred		5,000
Fixed factory overhead incurred		15,800

Determine the following for the period:

Flexible budget for variable overhead based on output for the period

Total variable overhead applied to production during the period

Total budgeted fixed factory overhead

Total fixed factory overhead applied to production during the period

Calculate the following variances using four-variance analysis:

Total variable overhead variance

Variable overhead spending variance

Variable overhead efficiency variance

Total under applied or over applied variable overhead

Fixed overhead spending variance

Production volume variance

Total fixed overhead variance

Total under applied or over applied fixed overhead

Calculate the following variances using three-variance analysis:

Factory overhead spending variance

Factory overhead efficiency variance

Production volume variance

Calculate the total overhead flexible budget variance and the production volume variance using a two-variance analysis.

Part Two:

In a 750 word document, explain to the management team at Moore
Manufacturing about the variances and evaluation of their performance.

The development of a testable research question is an integral first step in developing an effective research question or set of questions. It forms the foundation upon which the remaining stages of the process are built. Getting this step right will help ensure the success of future steps.

Review Sections 1.5-1.7 in your textbook and the video tutorial “Writing a Testable Research Question” in Activity 1.1 in this module. (I had been upload the file)

Video:

(1)

Based on this information, you will develop the research question that you will use for the assignments throughout this course.

Post the following in this forum:

• General Topic of Interest
• Research Objective/Purpose: “Why” of the research
  • Remember that this can be addressed by completing the sentence, “The purpose of this study is . . .”

• Research Question(s): “What” of the research
  • Remember that this can be addressed by completing the sentence “I wonder if/how . . .”

Your instructor will give you feedback about your research question. Respond to your instructor’s feedback regarding adjusting your research question until you have an acceptable (testable) research question that can be used as a basis for the rest of the course assignments.

Note: It is a normal part of the iterative process of research to revise and refine the research question.
