peer reviw of juan’s paper

/in /by

this is the instruction what the professor said : you have to follow what the professor told me . and answer his qustions about juan’s paper

Your second assigned peer review is of Juan’s draft, enclosed.

The specific assignment is as follows:

  • Explain, in your own words, the research question and hypothesis.
  • Explain in your own words the key dependent variable, corruption. What does Juan mean by corruption? What kinds of actions count as corruption? How will he be able to know it when he sees it? (That is, how will he “operationalize” this variable?) In particular, Juan will need to be able to compare cases, and show how there is a more or less corruption in one case versus another case. What is a good way for him to do that, systematically, so that he is fairly using the same measure across many different cases?
  • Consider the cases Juan says he will be comparing in the paper (he hasn’t completed all of these yet but that’s okay for this draft). Are these cases good ones to compare, given his hypothesis? That is, do they give him good variation on the independent variable? Are these cases that are “fair” tests of the hypothesis, or are there other factors that might be skew his analysis, that might make this sample of countries in some way biased? If you think he needs additional cases to compare, how should he go about adding additional cases?
  • Are there any other suggestions for improvement you can think of?

  4. Provide the reasons why each gambit could increase the likelihood of a successful negotiation session. Include your thoughts on the importance of striving for a win-win outcome in any negotiation setting.

This chapter discusses the effect of price on the negotiation process and a number of potential approaches negotiators can use when the bargaining gets down to dollars and cents. This chapter also discusses the contrast principle, a very useful technique that can be used to influence your negotiating partner to see your proposal in a more positive light.

Sales presentation

/in /by

Imagine that you are the marketing/sales team for a new mobile application. Your company sells this application to service organizations that are interested in capturing instant feedback from their guests at their service establishment.

Only 1 slide is needed. No need for a title slide or conclusion slide. If you use references, please ensure there is a reference slide.

Prepare 1 slide covering the following with speaker notes:

  • Why should the service establishment utilize your app to help address their technological needs?

1. As a team we need to determine some basic features of the APP. This will help us to identify selling points that will be used through out the presentation.

My Thoughts are that the App should be a hotel experience. It can offer freebies to guests that can be used during the stay in order to entice the customers to use the app and anytime they return it will allow the hotel to recognize them. It can also allow a phone to be used as a key for access to the room and will allow for check out without having to come to the desk. Any other thoughts on what should be in the APP please share.

  • Strategies for supporting safe practices with young children that also support their individual needs and development (specific to age group chosen)

  • Two credible resources from this course, the Rasmussen College Library or credible websites in APA
