Create a diagram showing the RAAS cascade using standard flowchart symbols (boxes, shapes, and arrows). Include the following in your diagram:

  • Identify the proper organs that are part of the RAAS cascade.
  • Insert the following terms in the proper location within the cascade.

  • Renin inhibitor
  • ACE inhibitor
  • Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB)
  • Aldosterone inhibitor

Write a 90-word summary of your diagram.

Assignment 2: Challenges in the Global Business Environment

Due Week 9 and worth 330 points

According to the textbook, ongoing challenges in the global business environment are mostly attributed to unethical business practices, failure to embrace technology advancements, and stiff competition among businesses. Imagine that you have been appointed as Apple’s Chief Compliance Officer and must prepare a video presentation for Apple’s suppliers regarding Apple’s Supplier Code of Conduct to deliver via a web meeting. To prepare for your presentation, review Apple’s Supplier Code of Conduct, located at https://www.apple.com/supplier-responsibility/. Next, use a tablet, smartphone, laptop, desktop, or traditional video recorder to record a maximum of a five to seven (5-7) minute dynamic video on Apple’s Code of Conduct. Alternatively, you may submit a four to six (4-6) page paper instead of the video submission.

In addition to the recorded video, you must also create a presentation using PowerPoint (or other equivalent software) summarizing the important changes and explanations regarding the code of conduct that you communicated in your video presentation to email to the suppliers after the meeting for future reference.

You must submit both parts of the assignment to receive full credit.

Module 1 Case Telecommuting

Module 1 – Case

Telecommuting

Assignment Overview

Telecommuting

With technological advancements, many employees are able to work from
home one or more days per week. Telecommuting is becoming more popular
and allows an employee to take advantage of technology and complete
tasks from home or a coffee shop. With globalization and
organizations hiring employees from different countries, it becomes
imperative for employers to embrace telecommuting because of the added
benefits for not only the employees but also the employer. Some of the
advantages for both the employer and employees are highlighted in the
following table:

Telecommuting Benefits

Employer Benefits

Employee Benefits
  • Allows for a larger pool of diverse employees when recruiting
  • Assists with retention efforts
  • Reduces organizational costs
  • Enhances employees’ personal lives and health
  • May enhance employee job satisfaction and organizational commitment levels
  • Autonomy

Interestingly enough in February
2013, the CEO of Yahoo (Marissa Mayer) implemented a policy to stop the
company’s popular working-from-home program. According to Cohan (2013), a
memo sent to Yahoo employees emphasized the following:

  • “We need to be one Yahoo!, and that starts with physically being together.”
  • “Some of the best decisions and insights come from hallway and
    cafeteria discussions, meeting new people, and impromptu team meetings.”
  • “Speed and quality are often sacrificed when we work from home.”

Although Marissa Mayer of Yahoo has been widely criticized for her
decision, it is important to note that she has to look out for what is
in her organization’s best interest. As a CEO, difficult decisions must
be made that may not always satisfy and resonate with all employees.

Drawing on the material in the background readings and doing
additional research, please prepare a 4-5 page paper (not including the
cover and reference pages) in which you:

  • Analyze the pros and cons of telecommuting from a human resource
    professional perspective and discuss the added value of telecommuting
    when recruiting new talent. Also, what impact will telecommuting have on
    an organization’s overall image?
  • What trainings could you provide for efficient telecommuting?

Assignment Expectations

Your paper will be evaluated on the following points:

  • Precision – Does the paper address the question(s) or task(s)?
  • Clarity – Is the writing clear and the concepts articulated
    properly? Are paraphrasing and synthesis of concepts the primary means
    of response to the questions, or are excessive use of quotations how
    thoughts are conveyed? Are headings included in all papers greater than
    2 pages?
  • Breadth – Is the full breadth of the subject addressed?
  • Depth – Does the paper address the topic in sufficient depth?
  • Grammar, spelling and vocabulary – Is the paper written well – is
    the grammar, spelling, and vocabulary suitable to graduate level work?
  • Referencing (citations and references) – Does the paper use citations and quotation marks when appropriate?
  • Critical thinking – Is the subject thought about critically, i.e., accurately, logically, relevantly, and precisely?

demonstrate the wide variation in pricing of an identical item

/in /by

To demonstrate the wide variation in pricing of an identical item, visit three different stores and compare prices on similar items.

Select a category of store. Some suggestions are:

  • Grocery: large chain store, local chain store, convenience store
  • Health and beauty aids: grocery store, drugstore, discount store
  • Over-the-counter drugs: chain drugstore, local drugstore, discount store
  • Clothing: specialty store, department store, discount store

Select two items to compare in the category you chose. For example, in the grocery category, you could compare a type of cereal, a canned soup, and a snack item. Explain the factors you believe lead to the variations in prices. Is it worthwhile for consumers to compare prices when they shop? Some pricing issues you may want to consider include: price competition, non-price competition, odd‑even pricing, promotional pricing, prestige or image pricing, price lining, and unit pricing.
