Read more about the Discourse on the Method located at http://www.earlymoderntexts.com/pdf/descdisc.pdf.
Reading selection from Swift’s A Modest Proposal. Swift begins with offering the solution that the English could do things which might solve the problem of over-population and the mistreatment of citizens in Ireland and ends by offering the solution that an internal change in the Irish government would best solve the problem of over-population and a populace victimized by its own government.

Two reading selections from Voltaire’s Candide. The story begins by acknowledging the foolishness of the superstitious traditions held by the people in the city of Lisbon but ends by confirming Voltaire’s belief that religion in general is equally based in false superstitions.
For the reading selection you choose:
Clearly state in your own words the “surprise ending” in the reading you selected. Identify the point in the reading when you realized that the ending would be different from what the beginning of the reading suggested that it would be.
Since you were expecting a different ending, evaluate how successful the author was in convincing you to accept the validity of the “surprise ending” that was not clearly suggested at the beginning.

Gant v Arizona 556 U.S. 332 (2009) is a relatively new Supreme
Court decision from 2009, which further limited the search incident to
arrest exception to the warrant requirement. Research this case and skim
the actual opinion. Apply the rationale found in this case to the
following fact pattern and respond with a 1-2 page report of your
analysis.
Fact Pattern
Gigi is cruising down Collins Boulevard in Miami Beach, Florida
– top down on her convertible, taking in the sea breeze, listening to
the radio, when all of a sudden she hears sirens behind her and sees a
police car, headlights blazing pulling up behind her. She pulls over
and parks her car in a legal parking spot and waits to see what the
officers want. An officer approaches her and asks her for her license
and registration. She asks the officer what she is being stopped for
and the officer tells her that she crossed over the center lane twice
and they are stopping her for suspicion of driving under the influence.
She is asked to exit the car and perform field sobriety tests and she
complies. She passes the tests and then is asked to blow into the
breathalyzer. She remembers her sister, the lawyer’s words and says she
will not take the breathalyzer test. She is told she will be arrested
if she does not take the test. She still will not give a breath sample.
She is arrested and placed into the back of the police car. The
officers search her car incident to her arrest.
Is this legal under Arizona v Gant?

Your work on your strategic global marketing plan is complete. You now have a plan that will implement, manage, and support a global strategy, but it is far from organized. You e-mail Deborah to inform her that you are almost ready and that the initial planning is complete. A little while later, the phone rings and you see Deborah’s name on the caller ID.
“Hi, Deborah. What’s up?” you ask.
“I’d like you to present to the advisory board next week,” Deborah says. “They are very curious about your findings and would like to know if globalization is a good opportunity for the company. The board wants to finalize their strategic plan, and this may be a key part of it.”
After you hang up, you begin thinking through the different items that you will need to cover.
As you finalize the marketing plan, complete the following:
Is globalization a good move for the company?
What is your rationale behind this decision? Synthesize analysis conducted in previous units, including strategic considerations, cultural considerations, competitive analysis and balanced scorecard.
What geographic location should be a target for global expansion?
What background information can you provide to support this decision?
How will this decision support the overall goal of growth and expansion?
How would you refute someone with the opposing perspective?

Course Scenario:
Company Biography
In January of 2002, John Ferrer and his wife Deborah started their own corporation, a large custom furniture manufacturer located in Boston, MA. Their initial accounts were in the Northeastern region of the United States, and they annually observed a constant profit increase. By March of 2006, they were able to grow the company enough to go from five distribution and manufacturing plants to 10 to allow shipping to 48 states. Although they have two retail stores, one located in Phoenix and one in Boston, their primary source of revenue is online catalog sales. They have 10 manufacturing plants and distribution centers throughout the country.
John and Deborah’s corporation is known throughout the industry for its exceptional customer service and superior quality. The contemporary designs lend themselves to a younger market, and the customer base is predominantly upper-middle class because it is one of the highest priced furniture companies in the market. Part of the appeal of John and Deborah’s brand is their consistent involvement with the local communities to create green gardens. They have also been a major contributor to organizations that build houses for people in need.
One of their primary strengths is their vertical integration. They have a team of in-house designers saving the company design costs and allowing the flexibility to rapidly change designs as the market changes. Their products have been featured on several prominent home design and gardening shows and have been endorsed by several well-known designers.
Because of the recent housing market sales decline (8% from 2005–2006), home renovations have slowed significantly. This has impacted the amount of furniture and fixture sales and continues to impact revenue. Furniture sales in the United States have decreased significantly, and John and Deborah have recently been discussing the possibility of global expansion.
Another potential threat to their company is that many higher-end brands have been marketing aggressively and creating lines for popular retail stores. These allow the lower-income consumers to have access to high-end brands at a much lower price point. So far, these lines have been incredibly successful and have significantly increased profits for competitors. Many of these competitors have also had great success in the global marketplace with these lower cost replicas.
John and Deborah know that it is time to seriously consider expanding their business. They want to be able to make it through the economic crisis and rely on other ways to increase sales and business. They are open to looking into the global market, but they want to be sure that it is the right move for the business. They have requested an advisory board meeting next month in which you will present the global marketing strategy. As the market strategist, you will play a key role in helping the board decide if this is the right move for the company.
The Problem
You are sitting in Deborah Ferrer’s office. After the customary small talk, Deborah sits forward and states, “I am very impressed with the work that you have done as the strategic marketing manager. Since John and I started this company in Boston, we have seen continuous growth, but nothing like what we have seen since you started. However, the housing market is really starting to impact our profits. This last quarter’s numbers were not looking good.”
You reply, “The crisis has really hit us hard. We have some stiff competition, too, with the other brands creating retail knock-offs.”
She counters, “We’ve had great success with your strategies in the domestic markets, but we do need to think of a new approach and strategy. I have complete faith in your abilities to take this company exactly where it needs to go. I must say that we are really counting on you, and I know that you will follow through.”
“I will make sure that we do well. Do you have any new projects for me?” you ask.
Deborah smiles and says, “You know me well. I do have a new project for you. I sent you an e-mail just before our meeting. I’m curious if expanding in a global market would be a good move for our company. I would like you to look into this for me.”
“Our team is definitely up for the challenge,” you say with enthusiasm.
Deborah shakes hands with you warmly, and you make your way out of the meeting. As you drive out of the parking garage, you think about your success with the company. You cannot wait to get started.

Compose a 4- to 5-page report (not counting diagrams or tables) describing the IT project portfolio. This is an opportunity for you to be creative in this assignment. Once again, select a real or fictitious organization so that you can give specific examples.
Define what is meant by IT “project portfolio,” and differentiate it from project management. Describe briefly the process by which executive management evaluates proposed projects, potentially accepting them into the active set of projects in execution within the portfolio. Establish roles important for the process of evaluating, accepting or rejecting the projects, securing funding, and tracking them at an executive level. Show the process in an original process flow depicting at least one decision point and rejection review loop for editing and resubmission of project proposals for acceptance into the project portfolio.
Identify the IT projects for a real or made up company of your choice. You can draw on your past experience or create your own projects. Identify 5 to 8 projects so that you can compare projects described in the assignment. The report must evaluate each identified project against the following criteria:
The project fits within the organization’s objectives
The project drives or creates more revenue for the corporation
The project cuts the cost of doing business
The project is mandated by laws (federal, state, county, or local) or executive orders
The competitor has undertaken a similar project
Determine recommendations for the best set of sequencing for the approved projects. Answer the management questions: (a) what projects have dependencies?; and, (b) what projects can be executed concurrently?
