Question 1 – Conference Confusion

From: George Wilkes

Subject: Innovations in Drugs Conference 21st October

I’ve just had a phone conversation with Frank Fielding of Kemiko, who are the major drug manufacturing company organizing the above conference. He tells me that there is going to be a presentation by the manufacturers of Supranine, a revolutionary new drug for hay fever sufferers that has just been approved for sale over the counter by retailers in this country. I’ve read several reviews of this new drug, and it looks set to take a very large share of the overall market.

I feel that the market in hay fever remedies is one that we have never properly got to grips with in this company, and since the size of this sector of the market expands every year, we must do something about this. We also regularly see drug sales plummet in the spring and summer months when cold remedies are not selling – increased sales of hay fever products would help to reduce this.

I’ve arranged a meeting with Karen for the week after the conference to discuss this, but she is on holiday the week before and therefore cannot attend the conference itself. I want you to make sure that you bring back a copy of all handouts relating to this product and any other information that you think we’ll need when coming to our decision as to whether or not to market this product.

What do you do?

A – Attend the conference

B – Send someone else

C – Don’t attend but order material to be sent

Question 2 – Company Car

From: R. Patel

Subject: Delivery of new company car

I’ve completed final negotiations with the dealer supplying your new company car. They’ll have it ready for pickup between 3 and 5 pm on Thursday, October 21st, so I would be grateful if you could arrange for it to be collected at that time. They have agreed to include the sunroof, remote alarm and the CD player at the price we originally agreed. I’ve also arranged for your old car to be collected from the car park at Head Office on the afternoon of the same day.

Please let me know immediately of any faults that you notice. When we’re paying this amount of money for a car it should be perfect!

What do you do?

A – Collect the car yourself

B – Arrange to collect the car another day

C – Arrange for someone else to collect the car

Question 3 – Legal Action

From: susan.yu@grabit&runne.co.uk (the company’s attorney)

Subject: Impending legal action by Kwono of Japan

I’ve been notified by our office in the Far East that Kwono is seriously considering taking legal action as a result of your high profile launch last month of Fango toothpaste. It appears that the name ‘Fango’ was registered by Kwono three years ago and has been used by them for a highly successful cream to treat athlete’s foot in Japan and throughout the Far East. Last year ‘Fango’ was apparently the most popular over-the-counter foot care product in Japan, and they have plans to market the product in Europe. Kwono is very unhappy that another product has been launched under the same name.

What do you do?

A – Immediately forward email to Janet Clifton and George Wilkes for them to action

B – Reply to email seeking legal advice, ‘cc’-ing it on to Janet Clifton and George Wilkes

C – Reply to email seeking legal advice

Question 4 – Charity Calls

You receive this letter:

FROM: National Society for Handicapped Children, Washington DC

TO: Head of Marketing, Reeder Ltd, San Jose, CA

Dear Sir or Madam,

As you know, we are one of the leading charities presently helping children and young people who suffer from a wide range of handicaps. There is a vast amount of work for us to do to bring some hope into the lives of many thousands of children, but unfortunately we find that our funds are not enough to enable us to do what we feel needs to be done. We rely very heavily on support from the public, and in particular from corporate sponsorship and donations to enable us to carry on with our work. To this end we have arranged a major fundraising concert on December 12 to be held at Symphony Hall in Mountain View, featuring the City of San Jose Symphony Orchestra and Choir.

In order for this to be the success that we hope for, we are asking local businesses to support the event with sponsorship or a donation. We would be grateful for donations of whatever size, but if you feel able to contribute $1000 or more we would be able to arrange some corporate entertaining for a party of you and your guests at the concert.

Businesses have told us in the past that they find this type of entertaining a very pleasant way of thanking customers or staff for their support. I do hope that you will feel able to help us in this way. If you would like any further information about our organization or the work that we do, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely,

Richard Smethhurst

(Head of Fundraising)

What do you do?

A – Refer to Janet Clifton

B – Refuse donation

C – Give donation or sponsorship

Question 5 – It’s big news!

Reading the paper on the way to work you see this article…

CVS for Safeway

Retailing giants CVS and Safeway yesterday announced a deal which will see the pharmacy chain’s Health and Beauty shops opening on supermarket sites. Initially the openings will be on an experimental basis in seven stores, but if the experiment works, observers believe that the format could be introduced widely throughout the Safeway superstore chain.

Both companies were being cagey about the project’s potential yesterday. A Safeway spokeswoman would only say that if successful it is hoped to extend the trial into other stores. But one analyst said: “This has potentially enormous importance in the longer term.” Initially the experiment will be restricted to stores in Sunnyvale, San Bruno, Pleasanton, Milpitas, Santa Teresa, Los Gatos, and Santa Clara; Safeway will provide space and charge CVS rent.

CVS’s downtown shops have been under pressure from Walgreens and other competitors who have undercut CVS on perfumes, sun creams and condoms. But CVS’s spokeswomen could not comment on the company’s pricing strategy in the experimental concessions, and it is not known whether prices would match those in other health and beauty shops. Safeway already has five concessions with Lloyds Chemists, and 12 Sketchley dry cleaners.

What do you do?

A – Email summary of article to Janet Clifton

B – Find article online and send link to Janet

C – Email summary and link, along with your recommendations for Reeder’s response to the news

Question 6 – Drinks do

You receive this email from Fred Hill, a manager at your level and working in a closely related area:

Subject: Drinks Do: Old Bell, Queens Rd, This Friday

As you may have heard, Marianne and I got engaged on Saturday, and we will be celebrating this at the Bell and Anchor on Friday. We hope that you will be able to join us at about 5.30 after work for a few drinks, and then to go on for a Chinese restaurant at about 7.30. We need to make a reservation at the restaurant, so please let me know whether you will be able to come. Boyfriends/girlfriends/husbands/wives are very welcome of course!

The following post-it note also arrives on your desk:

Your girlfriend/boyfriend phoned while you were away from your desk and asked me to give you the message that he/she has managed to book theatre tickets for the Regent Theatre on Queens Road for Friday night. Performance starts at 7.45pm. Please call back to confirm whether or not you can make it.

What do you do?

A – Go to Fred’s drinks and theatre

B – Go to Fred’s drinks, meal and theatre

C – Go to Fred’s drinks and meal

D – Go to Fred’s drinks only

Question 7 – Business Development

Minutes from a Business Development Committee meeting:

1. Proposed extension of range of ready meals.

F Hill reported back to the committee on this matter. There appears to be considerable evidence that ready meals are becoming increasingly popular, particularly in the larger towns and cities where the main buyers appear to be office workers who buy meals during the day to save cooking for themselves in the evening. These products have a high margin. The potential problem with them is that they have a very short shelf life. Foreign foods and “healthy” foods

appear to be more popular than other types. G Wilkes proposed that a detailed costing exercise should be carried out. F Hill suggested that customer opinion could be sought in branches. J Clifton agreed to arrange this. Further discussion was deferred to the next meeting.

2. Introduction of lockable display cabinets.

K Milward reported that she was very unhappy about the introduction of lockable glass covers over many products in branches. Although the committee had approved this three months ago, she felt that it was acting as a considerable deterrent to customers buying products, and sales had suffered accordingly. K Milward agreed to provide further detailed analysis of the fall in sales by line and the effect on profit. R West agreed to quantify the fall in shrinkage levels since these cabinets have been introduced. The matter would be further reviewed in the light of this information at the next meeting.

3. New branch opening.

J Clifton stated that arrangements for the opening of the new branch in Milpitas on November 18 were well in hand. All the normal publicity had been arranged for the event with exception of the 2-page spread in the San Jose Mercury News, which has not yet been arranged because they do not accept advertisements more than 1 month in advance of publication. The design work for the spread has been prepared. It was planned to appear in the November 12 edition. It was agreed that P Smith would arrange this.

4. Seasonal fluctuations in pharmaceutical product sales.

G Wilkes stated that he was concerned about the low sales in pharmaceutical products over the summer months that are experienced every year. Although this is due to very low sales in cough and cold remedies which yield high profits in the winter months, he felt that there were areas that we could expand which would compensate for this to some extent, such as insect repellent, hay fever treatments and skincare products. He is currently reviewing a number of possible products and hopes to have further information available for the next meeting.

5. Results for last month.

GW congratulated everyone, particularly the food sales staff, on very good results.

6. Any other business.

None.

What do you do?

A – Arrange branch opening publicity immediately

B – Organize customer research immediately

C – Arrange branch opening publicity and organize customer research

D – Delegate branch opening publicity

Question 8 – Synchronized Sponsorship

You receive this letter…

FROM: The Synchronized Swimming Society, West Valley College

TO: Marketing Manager, Reeder Ltd, San Jose

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing on behalf of our society, which was formed last year, in the hope that you will feel able to sponsor us on a tour of the Hawaiian islands. We hope to tour the islands next May for two weeks with a team of about 10 people. We plan to give demonstrations of synchronized swimming in the sea and swimming pools and to raise the profile of the sport in general by our presence.

We will be able to display the Reeder name and logo prominently on our swimwear, thus giving a high degree of exposure to your company. We will also be able to publicize the use of some of the food and beauty products that you sell, for example waterproof cosmetics and slimming products (as several of our team have recently been on diets and will happily attribute their success to one or more of the diet programs that you sell).

We would hope that you would consider a figure in the region of $8,000 reasonable for such sponsorship. We look forward to hearing from you and feel sure that this arrangement will be very beneficial to us both in the future.

Yours faithfully,

Alison Worth

Secretary

What do you do?

A – Refer letter to your boss, Janet, with a recommendation

B – Accept sponsorship

C – Write a declining letter

Racial and Ethnic Profiling

/in /by

Provide 2-3 detailed paragraphs. Use proper APA citation throughout. Use reference provided below.

Racial profiling* is defined by Chan (2011) as any government activity—including surveillance, search and seizure, questioning, detainment, and arrest—directed at a specific individual or group based solely on race or ethnicity. The United States has engaged in racial profiling. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, Japanese immigrants and American citizens of Japanese descent were relocated to internment camps because of their race. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States, individuals of Middle Eastern descent were often targeted for “routine” searches and questioning at airports. Racial profiling can be a controversial topic both within criminal justice and among the general public.

For this Discussion, you explore the practice and impacts of racial profiling and consider whether it is ever justifiable. Be aware that your colleagues in this course may have different viewpoints than your own. Please be respectful in your posts and responses to others.

*Racial profiling includes profiling based on race and/or ethnicity.

Post by Day 4 a description of at least two racial or ethnic minority groups that are regularly profiled by law enforcement. Then explain possible impacts on the criminal justice system of profiling the two groups you described. Finally, explain whether or not it is ever justifiable for law enforcement to profile individuals based on race or ethnicity. Justify your position with references to the literature and Learning Resources.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ postings.

Respond by Day 6 to at least one of your colleagues’ postings.

If you are a male ask yourself or another male in your family the following questions:

  • Did you attend the birth of your child, were you there at the moment of birth?
  • Did attending (or not attending) affect your attachment to your new son or daughter?
  • Do you think you could pick your own newborn baby out of a group of other newborns, or do they all look alike to you?

If you are a female ask your husband, your father, your grandfather, or other male relative who is already a father to answer those same questions.

Hormone Replacement Therapy

For this assignment, you will review the latest evidence based guidelines as they pertain to the case below. Discussion of the case is based on the course objectives and weekly content, which emphasize the core learning objectives for an evidence-based primary care curriculum. Throughout your nurse practitioner program, case study discussions are used to promote the development of clinical reasoning through the use of ongoing assessments and diagnostic skills, and to develop patient care plans that are grounded in the latest clinical guidelines and evidence-based practice.

Ms. Martin is a 55-year-old woman who has been on HRT for 4 years. HRT was prescribed because Ms. Martin was experiencing vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause. Her last mammogram was 2 years ago and last pap was 5 years ago. Ms. Martin made an appointment with her nurse practitioner to discuss discontinuing HRT after hearing and reading news reports about the dangers associated with the medication. Except for the HRT, Ms. Martin is taking no medication other than a daily vitamin. She had a tubal ligation after the birth of her third child but has had no other surgeries or history of any medical conditions. Her father had cardiovascular disease and died of a myocardial infarction at 77 years of age. Her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer at 81 years of age. Ms. Martin does not smoke and rarely drinks alcohol. She likes to work in her garden but is not involved in a formal exercise program. She has gained about 10 pounds since menopause.

  • What evidence-based information will you provide to Ms. Martin regarding her concerns of HRT? Discuss the advantages and risks associated with HRT.
  • What are your recommendations for Ms. Martin? Will you recommend continuing or discontinuing HRT and why?
  • What alternative treatments for menopausal symptoms will you discuss with Ms. Martin?
  • Discuss the recommended screening tests, using the latest evidence based guidelines that Ms. Martin should have.
  • What health promotion, maintenance, and prevention education would be important to provide to Ms. Martin?

All references must be in APA format. You must list where the source was gotten from (example, website link). Sources cannot be older than 5 years. Please use proper grammar, proper English, and avoid run on sentences .

Option #1: Case Study Analysis: New Kind of Structure

Read and respond to a case study to demonstrate your understanding of, and ability to apply, the concepts of organizational design and culture.

Review the “A New Kind of Structure” case study about Pfizer in the course textbook (Robbins, De Cenzo, & Coulter, 2017, p. 192).

Write an integrated essay that addresses the following items:

  1. Describe and evaluate how Pfizer is allowing employees to be more productive with its PfizerWorks.
  2. Analyze an organization for which you work, or are familiar with, by considering the structural implications—good and bad—that the PfizerWorks approach would have in the specifics of productivity. (Think in terms of the six organizational design elements.)
  3. Compare this arrangement with other types of organizations (including nonprofit, volunteer, etc.) and whether this structure would work.
  4. Discuss the global aspect of adapting a structure similar to Pfizer and how the culture of the organization may, or may not, be impacted.

Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:

  • 3-4 pages in length
  • Formatted according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements
  • Contain a minimum of two scholarly sources, at least one of which is not provided in, or linked from, the course. The CSU-Global Library is a great place to find these scholarly sources!

Write clearly and logically, as you will be graded on content, analysis, and your adherence to the tenets of good academic writing, which should be succinct where possible while also exploring the topics appropriately. Remember that you can always improve your work by providing support from outside scholarly sources, which help both to bolster your own assertions and supplement your ideas.

Social Activism and Data Analysis

/in /by

Hey Robert, this one has 2 required internet sources that has to used along with 2 more scholarly resources. I am also going to post the scoring guide at the end. I need at least “basic” and nothing in “non-performance”.

  • Create a public information product of your choice that is based on data related to a diversity issue and is at least 1,500 words long.By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
    • Competency 1: Describe theoretical ideas of power in relation to policy.
      • Create a public information piece that conveys a central tenet regarding institutional inequality.
    • Competency 3: Analyze the effects of social policy using aggregated data.
      • Analyze data to make valid sociological inferences.
    • Competency 4: Analyze how laws are applied or created based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, and social class.
      • Describe factors contributing to racial and ethnic disparities within the criminal justice system.
      • Assess the impact that institutional discrimination within the justice system has had on minorities and minority communities.
      • Explain ways in which public policies are linked to racial and ethnic disparities within the criminal justice system.
      • Describe policy strategies for reducing institutional discrimination.
    • Competency 6: Communicate effectively.
      • Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate format and with few errors of grammar, usage, and mechanics.
    Context
  • Often, discrimination is discussed as a primarily individual phenomenon—one-on-one actions in which one person discriminates against another. But as you have learned through your studies and research, some discrimination occurs at the institutional level, despite laws and policies that have been created to reduce or eliminate structural racism.It is important to consider how different experiences for minority groups may reflect a dominant culture that practices systemic discrimination in terms of treatment or access to valued resources. In other words, if there are many individuals in a society who are not racist or discriminatory, can the same also be said of the institutions in U.S. society as a whole? Often, institutional discrimination involves the intersection of race or ethnicity with other variables, like social class and gender. For example, patterns of residential segregation may be connected to both race and ethnicity, as well as socioeconomic status.


  • Questions to Consider

    To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community.

    • What are some examples of institutional discrimination in U.S. society? To what extent are these examples the result of historical patterns of relationships between whites and minorities or among upper, middle, or lower classes?
    • Why do discussions of discrimination often focus on individual acts of discrimination rather than systemic discrimination built into institutions like the education or health care systems?
    • In the justice system, what factors explain why certain racial or ethnic groups are more likely to be stopped, searched, or arrested by the police? What is the connection between policing strategies and incarceration rates?

  • Assessment Instructions

    This assessment asks you to demonstrate a deep understanding of institutional discrimination through both research and data analysis.For the purposes of this assessment, you will assume that you are a consultant working for a bipartisan think tank studying institutional discrimination within the justice system. In particular, you have been asked to research and analyze issues related to minority incarceration for drug use. You will concentrate on one of the key arguments related to the issue of institutional discrimination—namely, that U.S. criminal justice policies and practices in place as a result of the “War on Drugs” since the 1980s have disproportionately affected racial and ethnic minorities.It is your job to create a public information piece that highlights your findings regarding racial and ethnic inequities within the justice system. You will need to support your conclusions with data and research, rather than relying on opinion.The first step to prepare for this assessment is to research the topic of institutional discrimination in the criminal justice system, locating reliable, scholarly sources. Some suggested sources can be found in the Resources for this assessment.

    Data Review and Analysis Instructions

    The following data sources should be used as a basis for this assessment. Links to these can be found in the Required Resources for this assessment.

    • National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) data. Review the Quick Tables page to access this data from the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research.
      • When you select one of the quick tables, such as one for heroin use, you can specify how the data is presented. To see statistics for heroin use based on race and ethnicity, for example, select the “Heroin Use” link. Then select the following options in the dropdown lists:
        • Measure of Heroin Use: Select “Ever Used Heroin” first. Then select the other options to create additional graphs and charts as you would like.
        • Respondent Characteristics: Select “Race and Ethnicity.”
        • Confidence Intervals: Use the default option, “(None displayed).”
        • Chart Options: Choose any of the options for viewing the chart, depending on how you would like the data to appear.
      • Repeat this procedure for the other illegal drugs on the list, including marijuana (illegal in most states), crack, and cocaine. You can open each table in a new tab in your browser, which makes it easier to compare the data.
    • FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports data. Review the Person Arrested page for data on drug arrests by race and ethnicity.
      • You will see a list of table numbers on this page. Tables 43, 49, 55, 61, and 67 show data that include categories for race and ethnicity. Click on each table number to see the full tabular data. You will need to scroll down each table to look for the line labeled “Drug abuse violations.”
      • Note that Table 43 provides the overall national picture regarding drug abuse arrests, while the other tables provide specific regional data based on the classifications of cities, counties, suburbs, and nonmetropolitan areas.

    Deliverable

    Using research and the provided data, support and communicate the position of a special interest group by creating a public information product. The final product should convey the central tenet that U.S. criminal justice policies and practices disproportionately affect racial and ethnic minorities. Choose from one of the following public information pieces:

    • Information booklet targeted to the general public.
    • Position paper or brief targeted at state or federal legislators.
    • Mock Web page (or pages) or blog.
    • Public service announcement (a script for a radio or television program).
    • PowerPoint presentation targeted to a specific audience, with a description of the audience and detailed speaker’s notes.
    • A script for a speech to be given at a national meeting of practitioners who work in the criminal justice system.

    Note: Be sure to reference—include the citations on a separate reference sheet—specific data from the tables, charts, and graphs from the sources listed above to illustrate your points. Make sure to identify the titles of those that you cite; for example, “Ever Used Heroin by Race” is the title of the table and graph produced when you followed the initial steps above.The final, professional-quality product should accomplish the following:

    • Convey the causes and consequences of the problem of institutional discrimination in the criminal justice system.
    • Use formatting and design principles that are appropriate for your chosen product.
    • Include graphics—such as photos, charts, graphs, and figures—to enhance the presentation when appropriate.
    • Be supported by data and scholarly research.
    • Describe differences in illegal drug use based on race and ethnicity, and explain the factors that account for discrepancies between who uses illegal drugs and who is most likely to be arrested for drug abuse violations.
      • Keep in mind that to be accurate in your assessment, you will need to not just look at raw data and percentages but also consider the data in relation to each racial or ethnic group’s percentage within the overall U.S. population.
    • Discuss the extent to which drug policies or law-enforcement strategies have contributed to racial and ethnic disparities in drug use arrest rates.
      • Consider any historical or contemporary influences that may have contributed the disparities you have identified.
    • Share your assessment of the impact these disparities, along with institutional discrimination within the justice system more broadly, have had on minorities and minority communities.
    • Present at least two potential solutions or strategies to combat the problems identified in your analysis.
      • These can be community-based, legislative (at the state or federal level), or law-enforcement strategies.

    Additional Requirements

    • Written communication: Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
    • Length: The completed public information piece should contain at least 1,500 words.
    • Format: Cite your sources in current APA style and format, including a reference list at the end of your document or presentation.
    • Sources: Cite the NSDUH and FBI Uniform Crime Reports data, and at least two additional scholarly sources. When you mention the NSDUH and FBI data, identify the titles of any specific charts you refer to.
