You’re meeting with Lester in his office to discuss the details of your presentation to the board next week.

“Given all of the research that you have completed over the past several weeks,” he says, “you should have most of the information you need to make a presentation to the board. The board doesn’t want you to do any more research on all of the topics; rather, we want you to summarize the research that you have already done. “

“Yes,” you say. “I think I have what I need.”

“Of course we want your final conclusion and recommendation on what the company should do regarding the location issue, as well,” he says.

“What type of presentation do you have in mind, Lester?”

“A PowerPoint presentation would be appropriate for this group,” he says. “I want you to include slide notes, too, in case we have to go back and look at something at a later date. Your PowerPoint presentation should contain between 10–15 slides, not including the title slide and reference slide(s). For each slide, you should have between 150–200 words in the Notes sections. Let’s take a few minutes now to go over how the slides should be organized. I’ve done similar presentations, so I can save you some time with a few pointers.”

When you get back to your office, you type out your notes about each element you discussed and the overall organization of the presentation. For this presentation, you are addressing the following elements:

• Legal, social, and financial factor considerations
• Economic factors: gross domestic product (GDP), inflation, interest rates, unemployment
• Elasticity of demand
• Economies of scale and efficiency
• Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT)
• Market structure
• Risk
• Costs (marginal, fixed, variable, etc.)
• International expansion (Five factors that should be considered before making the decision to expand internationally)

In Week 4, you wrote a letter to the editor designed to educate members of your community about the critical role of child-centered curriculum and play in children’s development and learning.

For this week’s Discussion, review at least three of your colleagues’ letters to the editor posted in the Doc Sharing area. Focus on the ways their arguments complemented and differed from your own and each others’ and served as strong advocacy efforts.

In addition, review this week’s media segments and carefully consider how child-centered practices may differ and need to be adapted based on the developmental continuum. Based on your review, you will analyze the ways in which effective child-centered practices including play support positive learning outcomes in children from infants through primary ages.

By Day 3

Post:

• A brief summary of the ways in which the letters to the editor you reviewed brought up similar and differing arguments, and why you felt certain reasoning was most effective as an advocacy effort
• An explanation, based on the media segments and citing examples, of the benefits of child-centered, play-based, and discovery learning for each age/development level—infants/toddlers, preschoolers, and primary-age children

The writing assignment must identify the question you are answering
followed by the actual question itself (in bold type), Use a standard
essay format for responses to all questions (i.e., an introduction,
middle paragraphs, and conclusion), Double-spaced, using a standard font
(Times New Roman) and 12 point type size, The paper will be evaluated
on my ability to present a well-organized and developed response that is
clear in its presentation of the course material. The presentation must
be based on the course textbook. For maximum credit, you will also need
to include outside sources. Must be between 500-700 words.

As e-commerce continues to grow in the United States and abroad, new
consumer protection laws are needed. Use the Internet to research recent
developments in consumer protection for transactions through
cyberspace. (Kubasek et al., 2013, p. 754-5). Consider cyberspace
consumer protections that may affect the business in which you work, in
which you would like to work, or from a situation you have experienced.
Think of this issue from the perspective of a business working with
customers; consider how protecting customers may cost your business
profits, or, how it might make your business profits by
“differentiating” your business from others like it. Then, consider this
from the perspective of a legislator or regulator, trying to protect
customers from this situation. (Some ideas: identity theft, credit card
interest rates, airline baggage fees, etc.). Be creative.

Make a
recommendation for a government regulation, or law that you would like
to see enacted. Think of the consequences (good and bad) of the proposed
regulation or law that you have suggested to businesses, and to
consumers. Consider any unintended consequences that might occur. Your
paper should have the following sections:

1. Regulation or law proposal. Be very specific in the wording. (Your own idea and words). (20 points).
   1. What
      problem did you find in your research online that your regulation plans
      to address? Include a citation to the article(s) that describes the
      problem. (10points)
   2. What consequences might your proposed
      regulation/law have on affected businesses? Describe one good and one
      bad consequence. (10 points)
   3. What consequences might your
      proposed regulation/law have on protected consumers? Describe one good
      and one bad consequence. (10 points)
   4. Consider unintended consequences. What might one be? Describe it. (5 points).
2. References
   • Include a reference(s) from the problem(s) you found in your online research. (5 points)
   • APA formatting required. (5 points)
   • 65 points.
