  • At least 6 – 7 pages in length

Length: six to seven pages double-spaced with MLA formattingOutside Sources: In this essay you need to do your research and must have at least 6 outside sources.
Please remember that a variety of resources MUST be used.  Limit use of Internet resources to two (.edu, .gov, and some .org only).  Use journal articles, books, and references (these may be found on the Eastfield College library database).Counterargument: In this essay, we will practice incorporating counter argument into the assertions.  Add one counterargument in the essay.Style: Use MLA formatting and documentation styleOther Guidelines: This is an academic argument so the following guidelines MUST be followed.

  • Include a clear, qualified claim as the last sentence in the introductory paragraph. 
  • Write in third person only (NO first or second person pronouns)
  • Do not use contractions
  • Spell out all numbers under 100
  • Use appropriate academic language

Topics: Pick a topic that has two arguable sides to an ethical issue. There are some examples listed below. You may use any of these or you may email me at [email protected] for a topic of your choice. These examples are just to give you an idea of what kind of topics you need to be thinking about.You may choose a topic from outside this list as well. The list is just to help you understand what kind of questions you should be asking.

  1. A local situation has evolved and understanding the cause of this situation may help change the community’s outlook.  Write an essay in which you argue about the situation and what might need to occur to reverse the outcome.  (Example: Several years ago, the voters of Mesquite rejected membership in DART.  Today, however, some citizens wish that this had not occurred, especially with the high gas prices.  The argument would provide insight into the cause(s) of Mesquite residents’ initial rejection of DART and how the community might now join DART.)
  2. Sometimes a phenomenon occurs on a college or university campus that is hard to explain.  Select a trend taking place on this or many college campuses and argue the rationale behind this trend.  (Example: A few semesters ago Dallas Community College District along with other community college systems experienced many students dropping their courses for no apparent reason.  The cause apparently stemmed from the ease with which students could drop a course without any consequences.  To remedy this situation, the state has enacted the Six-Course Drop Rule.)
  3. Write an argument that explores the causes of some social phenomenon such as a school or mall shooting or the continued stereotyping of a specific gender to perform traditional social roles.
  4. Write an argument that addresses a phenomenon in pop culture.  (Example: The women’s movement has struggled to help women of all ages avoid being objectified.  However, restaurants like Hooters and Twin Peaks base their popularity on the use of young, scantily clad women as their wait staff.  Why does society accept this behavior?)

Assignment Content

  1.     Review the scenario and complete the activity below. This scenario can also be found in the “Questions & Problems” section of Ch. 6, “International and Comparative Law” in Dynamic Business Law.

    In an interview published by The New York Times in February 1976, former Lockheed President A. Carl Kotchian defended the payment of bribes by the company as follows:

    “Some call it gratuities. Some call them questionable payments. Some call it extortion. Some call it grease. Some call it bribery. I look at these payments as necessary to sell a product. I never felt I was doing anything wrong.”

    More than 30 years later, Reinhard Siekaczek, an accountant employed by Siemens who oversaw an annual budget for questionable payments in excess of $50 million, stated:

    “I never thought I would go to jail for my company. …We thought we had to do it. Otherwise, we would ruin the company. …People will only say about Siemens that they were unlucky and that they broke the Eleventh Commandment. The Eleventh Commandment is, ‘Don’t get caught.’”

    You have been hired to assist ABC Multinational Company to help educate employees on ethical practices and corporate culture. More specifically, related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, your role is to prevent situations described in the above scenario.

Shark Tank

/in /by

Watch the following video:

Watch this video about Mega Hair, a company that is going on  “Shark Tank” to pitch their hair growth product. On 3/31/20xx, Mega Hair is jointly owned (50% each) by Jeff (Owner #1) and Violet (Owner #2).

Video Link: https://player.vimeo.com/video/263378400

(As you watch the video, collect the following quantitative data:)

A.) How does Mega Hair propose to use the cash if they receive an offer (what accounts will be impacted)?

B.) Offer 1 from Barbara:

C.) Offer 2 from Lori:

 

1.) Analyze/assess  quantitative (numbers #) to help make the investment decision in order  to better understand how each offer would generally (I know you do not have the full financial information yet) impact the financial statements of the organization initially and over time,

  • Offer #1 from Barbara 
    • list one (1) impact and one (1) account for the Income Statement AND one (1) impact and one (1) account for the Balance Sheet 
  • Offer #1 from Lori 
  • list one (1) impact and one (1) account for the Income Statement AND one (1) impact and one (1) account for the Balance Sheet 

Example – an impact  to the Income Statement could be increased sales, which will impact the  revenue account. An impact to the Balance Sheet could be increased cash,  which would impact the cash account. (Do not Reuse either of these examples)

2.) Consider qualitative information about investors and recommend which offer to accept (I know you do not have the full financial information yet).  

Barbara Corcoran’s credits include straight D’s in  high school and college and 20 jobs by the time she turned 23. It was  her next job that would make her one of the most successful  entrepreneurs in the country: She borrowed $1,000 and quit her job as a  waitress to start a tiny real estate company in New York City. Over the  next 25 years Barbara would transform that $1,000 loan into a $5 billion  real estate business, building the largest and best-known brand in the  business.

Lori Greiner started with one idea and turned it  into a multi-million-dollar international brand. She is regarded as one  of the most prolific inventors of retail products, having created over  500 products, and currently holds over 120 U.S. and international  patents. Lori can tell instantly if a product is a “hero or a zero,” and  this is clearly shown through her many thriving investments and a 90%  success rate on her new items launched. She’s also well known for her  impeccable negotiating skills and her uncanny ability to know and  identify emerging brands and invest in them.

Based on the information above and after watching the video which offer is best to choose and answer the questions below:

  • Which offer are you recommending – Lori or Barbara?
  • Why? Provide at least one (1) reason why you are recommending this offer.

Legal Analysis on Uber’s Service

/in /by

Write/ finish up my legal analysis on Uber. This is what i have thus far:

Uber draws up many concerns when it comes to the law and its regulations also vary by State and/or Country. Many laws that stand in place for other traditional services (Taxis) do not apply to Uber and authorities are unsure if they should. The company faces legal action in several cities around the world and has drawn criticism that its vehicles increase congestion and take business from regular taxis (Reuters Staff, 2019). In big cities like New York, there have been several lawsuits to prove that uber drivers are adding to the congestion, where most of the time the cars run the streets empty. Aside from legal compliance, Uber faces many human resource lawsuits in regards to their employees. The company paid $20 million to settle a long-running lawsuit brought by drivers claiming they were employees and entitled to certain wage protections (Reuters Staff, 2019).  Proposition 22 was in response to AB5, which would have extended employee protections to gig workers (Paul, 2020). Prop 22 provides guaranteed minimum earnings but based on calculations, a pro-Prop 22 Group estimated earnings at $25-75 per hour while UC Berkley estimated $5.64, well below California’s 2021 minimum wage of $14 (Paul, 2020). Drivers will also be provided stipends for private health insurance if they drive at least 15 hours per week (Paul, 2020). According to Paul (2020), four drivers’ groups in California numbering over 55,000 workers opposed Prop 22, and this result could have repercussions across the country.

5 – Conflict Resolution Strategy Plan

/in /by

 Scenario

Recently, Johnson Consulting Company reorganized many of its departments worldwide to improve efficiency for working with customers. The leadership decided to combine its Customer Service and New Business Development Departments to allow both groups to experience working with new and existing customers. This move created one department where employees will work together to develop new customers while supporting existing customers.

However, the move created conflict between the individuals involved with the reorganization in many South American locations, particularly in Brazil. For instance, the Customer Service Representatives were only handling existing customer issues before the reorganization, but the Business Development Specialists believe they should respond to new customer inquiries. Some of the Business Development Specialists prefer not to work closely with many Customer Service

Representatives as they have demonstrated rude behavior to coworkers from time to time.

As the newly appointed manager for both of these departments, you research Brazil’s natural and cultural dimensions. Then integrate what you have learned about the country’s culture in a conflict resolution strategy for the team.

Instructions

Develop a conflict resolution strategy plan that addresses the following:

  • What are two different types of conflict the Brazil groups are experiencing due to the reorganization? What bargaining technique would be most useful for addressing each of the different conflict issues? Why? Use two examples.
  • What elements of a negotiation should be considered when managing conflict in this situation? Use 3 examples
  • What dimensions of Brazil’s culture should be considered by management to determine the best way to address the situation with the employees in Brazil? How would resolving conflict in the U.S. differ from Brazil? Use 3 examples
  • Use examples to support the understanding of concepts in a well-defined conflict resolution strategy plan.
  • Provide attribution for credible references used in the development of content ideas following academic guidelines.
  • As always, please keep in mind who your audience is and use correct grammar and spelling.
