function
P (Q) = (A − Q)+ ,
marginal production production costs ci > 0 (satisfying c1, c2 < A) and discount factor ↵ 2 (0, 1).
a)

Find out a strategy profile that induced these firms to cooperate in this market (i.e., to collude by

the monopoly quantity in total (which maximizes total profits in the stage game) with firm 1 producing
share ↵1 2 (0, 1) of this quantity and firm 2 producing share ↵2 2 (0, 1) of this quantity, with ↵1 + ↵2 = 1.
Suppose that ↵1 < ↵2. Find how large the discount factor ” needs to be for cooperation to be sustained
(Hint: you can use modified grim-trigger strategies for this question).

Individual Development Plan Outline, management homework help

Review your vision statement and short-term and long-term goals prior to developing your individual development plan outline for your mentee. Follow the outline prompts on the “Individual Development Plan Outline” resource to determine a plan to coach or mentor the mentee. This outline should provide a clear vision for working with the mentee and meeting the preliminary short-term and long-term goals already established. The outline must include realistic activities you can and will implement with your mentee. In addition, research a minimum of three articles (3-5 pages each) that support two coaching and two mentoring techniques that would assist in meeting the desired outcome for the plan.

The timeline is not required during submission, but it should provide a clear frame of reference for you and your mentee to achieve success.

Implementing the activities with your mentee will not necessarily require an extensive time commitment, but it the time spent should provide the opportunity to use mentoring or coaching techniques to support the mentee.

Is the Workplace Bullying Serious Enough to Warren Legal Action?

It is a debate. My stand is pro. This is a discussion not and essay. 250-350 words please.

Pro: Bullying in organizations can be harmful to employees and therefore warrants legal action.

I have the ebook online. You will also need a reference from the universities library which i will provide. You need to write whether doing something would change somethings.

Here’s an example:

Whether establishing workplace anti-bullying rules reduces symptoms of depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem of employees whom are being victimized.

While the purpose of a business is to create profit and accomplish company tasks, none of that can be completed effectively and efficiently if employees do not feel safe in their work environment. Unfortunately, bullying acts can go even further than just affecting the individuals whom are being targeted and can cause issues with others surrounding the bullying. For example the text explains how, “Bullying permeates the environment of the workplace, causing bystanders to feel its unpleasant effects and creating a toxic workplace” (Ferrell 67). By establishing legal rules and laws that must be followed in the work place regarding anti-bullying, it would create a safer environment for all employees, even those not being targeted. In an additional journal article it is established that there is a clear link between a positive work environment and job satisfaction. “Job satisfaction involves ‘a pleasurable or positive emotional state resulting from the appraisal of one’s job experiences” (Locke 147). If legal action is taken and reasonable bullying rules are established and set, there is less of a chance of employees facing negative emotional effects.

Workplace bullying is abusive behavior used to assert one’s power over another. One survey shows that more than one-third of employees have been victims of some kind of workplace bullying behavior. In many cases, the bullies are the supervisors of the organization. Yet while some counties have laws against workplace bullying the United States does not.

Many believe employees should be legally protected from workplace bullying because bulling is harmful to employee health. Victims of bullying suffer from symptoms including depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Bullying permeates the environment of the workplace, causing bystanders to feel its unpleasant effects and creating a toxic workplace. Others however, believe anti-bullying laws would limit manager’s ability to manage since they would constantly be afraid their management styles could be perceived as bullying. Also, critics of such a law argue that bullying is hard to define, making such a law difficult to enforce. Instead, they are in favor of internal ways to combat bullying including conflict resolution, harassment awareness, and sensitivity trainings.

English 1A [FULL CLASS]

Course Description

Welcome to English 1A: Composition and Reading. This course focuses on developing skills in critical reading and expository and argumentative writing based on critical reading of texts.

By almost any measure, this year has been one that future scholars and historians will spend their careers making sense of. From a global pandemic, to apocalyptic fires, record breaking heat, and devastating storms, nature seems to be asserting dominion over the planet and all who live on it. Socially and politically the world’s population has never been so fractured and divided. Nationalism and authoritarianism are on the rise around the globe, and social media are simultaneously connecting us and isolating us, carving us up into digestible bits so that advertisers can target ever more specific appeals to their audiences.

How we make sense of all of this depends, of course, on how and where we get our information. Whatever our beliefs and opinions are they are inevitably shaped and molded by the media we consume. The focus of this course is to understand and critically asses our relationships with our media diet. We will explore foundational questions about the media and its impact on how we process, use, and express information.

We’ll analyze the role of the media in shaping public discourse and its role in both established and developing democracies. We’ll explore how governments and political leaders around the world have used the media – for good and bad. We’ll examine the system of expectations and pressures that impact those who work in media. And we’ll explore how new technologies are “democratizing’ the media, giving rise to “citizen journalists” – everyday people who have the power to communicate and coordinate with others for meaningful change.

Most topics worth exploring are complex, requiring thoughtful consideration from a variety of perspectives. As such, they should provide us with ample opportunities for fruitful discussions, deep critical thinking, and exploratory writing. I’m looking forward to reading your ideas!
