    merger or acquisition was a wise choice. Justify your opinion.
  2. For
    the corporation that has not been involved in any mergers or
    acquisitions, identify one (1) company that would be a profitable
    candidate for the corporation to acquire or merge with and explain why
    this company would be a profitable target. 
  3. For the corporation
    that operates internationally, briefly evaluate its international
    business-level strategy and international corporate-level strategy and
    make recommendations for improvement. 
  4. For the corporation that
    does not operate internationally, propose one business-level strategy
    and one corporate-level strategy that you would suggest the corporation
    consider. Justify your proposals.

Introduction

In today’s global economy, working with people from different cultures is becoming the norm. Although this brings many rewards it also introduces challenges for both workers and management alike. All managers know that motivating their staff is the key to a successful business. To do this, they must understand what drives their staff. But what if their staff, seem to think and behave in unexpected ways? This can happen when people from very different cultures work together. Organisations are beginning to realise the importance of training their managers to become inter-culturally competent in order to ensure their staff continue to be motivated and productive.

The main issues to be discussed in this report are:

Bereavement and Client Diagnosis

/in /by

Although grief may be painful, for many individuals, it is a temporary journey of sadness. Yet, for others, grief may be a painful, unending road into despair. With grief there is usually a period of bereavement, more commonly known as a mourning period or sadness experienced from death or separation. Bereavement may result in temporary psychological distress or despair, or it may manifest into severe and/or reoccurring psychological disorders, such as depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and other anxiety disorders. Additionally, the effects of bereavement may complicate client diagnosis, especially for clients that you may already be treating for other disorders.

For this Discussion, review the week’s Learning Resources and current literature to examine how unremitting effects of bereavement may complicate client diagnosis. Select an example from the current literature and Learning Resources where bereavement might present an issue for an existing client. Consider if a psychologist might have to change the original client diagnosis.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a brief description the example you selected. Then explain how bereavement might complicate a client’s diagnosis. Finally, post your position on whether a psychologist must change the client’s diagnosis in the example you selected and explain why or why not.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources and current literature.

THE ABSTRACT

The Abstract, 250-400 words, single spaced, which outlines in summary form your overall plan

for establishing and addressing a Research Question,

should follow the template below:

A

Set-up

for your Research Question, a brief

lay-of the land

narrative that provides a broad

description of the problem at hand. This general comment shows what brings you to the

issue, often by way of setting down the current scholarly debate, or by describing a scene

from a film, book, or news event.

“The themes of

citizenship

and

community

are being discussed in many quarters of the

left today. This is no doubt a consequence of the crisis of class politics and indicates the

growing awareness of the need for a new form of identification around which to

organize the forces struggling for a radicalization of democracy.”

The

Problem

as you see it, which hints at the Research Question itself. This brief narrative

frames the issue at hand so that you can then ask a specific question for your research.

“I believe that the question of political identity is crucial and that the attempt to

construct

citizens’

identities is one of the more important tasks of democratic politics.

But there are many different versions of citizenship and vital issues are at stake in their

contest. The way we define citizenship is intimately linked to the kind of society and

political community we want.”

The

Research Question

which can take the form of a stated problem (“In this essay I want

to interrogate the ways

ideology

informs our identity-constructs”), or an actual question

(“In what ways does

ideology

determine our identity?) This is the single most important

component of your writing.

“How should we understand

citizenship

when our goal is both a radical and plural

democracy? Such a project requires the creation of a chain of equivalence among

democratic struggles, and therefore the creation of a common political identity among

democratic subjects. For the term

citizens

to actually mean this and function in this

way, what conditions must it meet?”

The

Research Method

and a glimpse of your Researched Argument. This optional narrative

shows how you plan to address the question through research, and how your argument will

emerge from your findings.

“These are the problems that I will address, and I will argue that the key task is how to

conceive of the nature of the political community under modern democratic conditions.

I consider that we need to go beyond the conceptions of citizenship of both the liberal

and civic republican tradition while building on their respective strengths.”

EXTENDED DEFINITION ESSAY PROMPT – 500 WORDS – 10% OF COURSE

For your essay, choose from one of the following, which are found in or are ideas of Zinsser’s “The Right to Fail”. The essay is available via the “link” at the bottom of this prompt.

  • Dropout
  • Fink
  • Dreamers
  • Mavericks
  • Failure
  • Successful

The essay needs to appeal to the reader with new and interesting information.

You need a logical plan: clearly cue the reader with strategies such as a clear thesis and transitions.

You need clear definitions. Define key terms that are associated with the topic.

Careful use of at least two sources, plus your own experience, and observation. Sources are be used and must be documented in correct MLA 8 standard format.

You may or may not choose to use the Zinsser essay as a source and relate your definition to his ideas.

The Definition Essay’s Structure

  • Introduction‒ This should include a generic definition of your term or even an attention grabbing fact. You may want to consider a dictionary definition, which must be documented. Then, you may give a contradiction to your term to contrast it. End your introduction by giving a direct, explicit assertion, explaining the main message of the essay. You may write this in the form a forecasting statement (thesis statement that forecasts the supporting ideas/subtopics).
  • Body‒ In your essay’s body, you need to provide several different points that construct the definition. You may provide background information, but it is not necessary. Each point should have its own paragraph
    • Point 1: This will include the first component of your definition. You will need to give your analysis/details for how the example substantiates your definition.
    • Point 2: This is the second aspect of your term. Once again, give an example and provide analysis/details.
    • Point 3 and additional points: Continue with examples and analysis/details until you are satisfied that you have completely developed your definition.

You may use any of the techniques we have talked about this semester, including but not limited to description, narration, cause and effect, comparison and contrast, and exemplification.

  • Conclusion‒ Your conclusion should give an overview of the points. The attention grabber at the beginning of your essay should be brought back in to tie everything neatly together. (Refer to the “Cannibalism” essay)

Conventions

You must document sources correctly or your paper will receive an F (Zero).

The paper must follow correct MLA format or it will receive an F (Zero).

The paper must be a minimum of 500 words or it will receive an F (Zero).

Proofread closely. You will lose points if you have too many basic writing errors. (Three basic writing errors equal a D, and five basic writing errors equal an F.

Write in third person.

Bring a typed copy for peer editing on Wednesday, April 4, or you are absent. Some of you cannot afford to miss days.

Organizational Strategy

/in /by

You have been hired to facilitate the development of a new employee
tracking system for a La Saveur coffee shop. La Saveur sells Italian
style espresso beverages through its company-operated retail stores.
Being a 24/7 store, it has employees working in several shifts, and
manually tracking the number of hours each employee works in a month has
become an increasingly difficult task. Therefore the store has decided
to put in place an employee tracking system.

The following are the business requirements of La Saveur’s employee tracking system:

  • Manager should be able to schedule shifts.
  • Employees cannot be allowed to work more than eight hours per day.
  • Cashiers can be scheduled to work either in morning, afternoon, or evening shift.
  • Employees cannot work more than three weekends in a row.
  • All employees must have a unique employee identifier (ID).
  • The system must keep at least one year of historical data regarding actual hours worked by employee.
  • The information system must be able to inform the number of hours an employee has worked upon entering the employee’s last name.

After
reviewing business requirements of the employee tracking system,
prepare a three- to four-page project assessment report in Microsoft
Word and include answers to the following questions:

  • What do
    you think are the potential issues that could arise while developing the
    required employee tracking system and how could they be overcome?
  • What
    do you think would be the biggest challenge for a project manager in
    this system, and how would you as a project manager overcome it?
  • What
    would be the benefits of such a system? After assessing its pros and
    cons, would you recommend its development and implementation? Why or why
    not?

In this assignment, you should:

  • Develop a schedule for the design and implementation of the system.
  • Develop
    a basic Statement of Work (SOW) for the design and implementation of
    this system so that Requests for Proposal can be sent with the SOW to
    various vendors.
  • Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of
    this project being managed by employees of La Saveur versus having a
    contractor manage the project.
  • Provide appropriate rationale and examples to support your answers.

IP Unit 5 Research Proposals, law homework help

/in /by

  • Use the library, Internet, and other available resources to develop a 6–8 page research proposal that includes the following:

    • Introduction to your topic and related issues (variables)
    • Purpose statement
    • Literature review
    • Research question and hypothesis
    • The research methodology to be used
    • Any questionnaires, interview questions, or research tools that you intend to use
    • How your results will be measured and analyzed
    • How your results will be presented

  • Statement of the Problem (One paragraph – Tell the reader very quickly HERE is the problem, Be critical and concise)
  • Introduction (3-4 paragraphs – Introduce the topic, the problem, and why it is important. If your reader cannot see clearly why this research is important, you have not written it correctly). State your research question.
  • Literature Review (3-pages – Quickly summarize the history on the topic, and then move quickly into the current research. Your job here is to take all the reports, peer-reviewed journal articles, and additional research that has been done, summarize it, condense it, and give your reader the very key points. Of importance, the research you select should help frame your research. Meaning if you are looking at substance abuse and treatment programs, what has been done thus far, where are we seeing success, and where are we  seeing failure (why). THIS IS NOT A COPY AND PASTE OF THE ANNOTATED REFERENCES.
  • Method Section (Here you include your DV and IV, explain the method (qualitative, quantitative, mixed, action), why you used that method (how does the method help you answer your question), and discuss your sample (who would you interview, survey, have in a focus group, observe, etc).  State your research question AGAIN.

· References

 Remember you are only writing the first part of a research paper. You will not have findings or conclusions here. I tried to provide a help file that had at the very least an article for everyone to use. If you need help with research, just let me know, and remember Google Scholar is your best friend. See what is the most cited article in your topic, read it, then see who used that article. We call this cite mining and it is incredibly helpful.
