DQ3

Because the decision about relocating manufacturing operations to the United States is so important, the board of directors at AutoEdge continues to systematically discuss every aspect of the situation.

The following week, CEO Lester Scholl meets you for coffee to discuss next week’s board meeting.

“I’m hearing good things about you,” he says. “Ingrid and George tell me you’ve been very responsive and helpful.”

“That’s good to hear,” you say. “I’ve enjoyed working with them.”

“We’re both busy, so I’ll get right to the point,” he says. “One of the main objectives of any business is to be efficient. Without efficiency, the company is essentially losing money. Am I right?”

“Absolutely,” you say.

“What must AutoEdge do,” he says, “to obtain economies of scale with production? How do we know that it has achieved economies of scale? Conversely, how do we know if it is achieving diseconomies of scale?”

“That’s a good question,” you say. “I can understand why you ask.”

But before you can respond, Lester’s cell phone rings. After a minute, he ends the call and stands.

“I have to get back to the office to handle an emergency,” he says. “Would you send me an e-mail with an answer to my questions, please?”

“No problem,” you say. “I’ll get it to you before I leave work this afternoon.”

“I appreciate it,” he says. “Thanks.”

Paper #4 – Argument Essay

  

Paper #4 – Argument Essay
The position paper is a “reasoned argument” on a controversial issue. A controversial issue, for example, may be an ongoing public debate (recently, police brutality or racism in the United States), or it may be a challenge to a practice that is long-standing (visiting Disneyland or caring for elderly relatives). Your choice of topic will determine the outcome of your paper. Is the issue one about which you are passionate or, at the very least, one in which you are mildly interested? Is your position on it fixed even after doing the research?

A good position paper will include all of the following.
Presentation of the issue. The length of this will be determined by how current your topic is. What does your audience already know about what you have to say?
A clear position (thesis). You cannot say, “I support both sides of this argument.” If you can, you need a different topic. That is not to say that you should not take in the validity of the opposition, but rather to say that you must be firm about which side you support and why.
Direct argument for your position. https://iacademicessay.com/

Again, support your argument with background, facts, statistics, anecdotes, etc. Show your reader the fullness of your argument.
Counterargument and opposition. Anticipate the objections that others may have to your argument and respond to them before the opposition can.
The establishment of credibility. Credibility may be established by choice of topic, by use of outside research, and by tone.
Usage Errors: Usage errors will impact your grade. Your essay is expected to be nearly free of errors. https://getacademicessay.com/ This includes:

Correct spelling and word choice
No Sentence Fragments
No Run-Together Sentences
Basic Subject-Verb Agreement
Take the time after you have finished your essay to go over it for last minute grammar and format problems. This is a college class, and errors will negatively affect your grade.
DO NOT:
– Use contractions
– Use “you”
– Use colloquial English (slang)

DO:
– Have a thesis
– Have a strong argument
– Remember your conclusion
– INCLUDE QUOTES
– Keep to MLA format
– Proofread your essay before you submit it.

When in a Word document, your essay will be 5-9 pages in length plus a works cited using MLA style (12-point Times New Roman font, double spaced, 1” margins). A Works Cited will be expected with a minimum of three sources ( at least two to three from the RCC Library Database) and no more than five.

Hall, 47 F.3d 1091 (11th Cir. 1995) (attached below), the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals discussed the difference between a business and an individual’s reasonable expectation of privacy in the area around their home or business (called the curtilage). In Hall, a government agent seized a bag of shredded documents from a dumpster located on the property of Bet-Air, Inc. Hall filed a motion to suppress the evidence on the grounds that the search and seizure was a violation of the Fourth Amendment. Review United States v. Hall and discuss the following:
  • What was the Court of Appeal’s decision?
  • Was the search and seizure a violation of the Fourth Amendment? Why or why not?
  • Would the result have been different if the dumpster was on private property rather than on commercial property?
  • Suppose you were an executive at Bet-Air. What recommendations would you make to help Bet-Air assert an expectation of privacy in the dumpster?

Case Study 4

  

The Scenario

Sagecrest Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Las Cruces, NM has been identified by Medicare as a “special focus facility” and is in danger of losing its certification status with CMS. You have been hired as a consultant to evaluate and improve this facility. Based on what you have learned about long term care services, policies and regulations, you are to prepare a brief report that provides recommendations for improvement.

Use the web to find pertinent information with which to guide your recommendations. Some important resources may include:

· Nursing Home Compare: https://www.medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare/search.html

· State of New Mexico Nursing Home Regulations: http://www.hpm.umn.edu/nhregsplus/NHRegs_by_State/New%20Mexico/NM%20Complete%20Regs.pdf

· CMS.gov – Nursing Homes: https://www.cms.gov/medicare/provider-enrollment-and-certification/certificationandcomplianc/nhs.html

· Federal Nursing Home Regulations and State Laws: http://www.nursinghomealert.com/federal-nursing-home-regulations-and-state-laws

· Facility website (http://www.sagecrestrehabilitation.com/). IMPORTANT NOTE: Do NOT contact the site directly. This is a learning exercise. Since you are not actual consultants, contacting the facility directly would be inappropriate. 

In your report, include the following:

  • Summary of identified problems
  • Relevant policy that guides nursing home practice
  • Prioritized list of recommendations
  • Suggested action plan for implementing changes

Your report should be 3-4 pages in length, page length does not include the title page, tables, graphs, charts, pictures or reference page.. The paper should be double-spaced with 1” margins on all sides. Format, in-text citations and references should adhere to APA format.

5 – Corporate Social Responsibility Presentation

 Scenario

You work for a U.S. based company that leaves a large carbon footprint because it relies heavily on paper, ink cartridges, and plastic. While there seem to be some legal requirements for sustainable activities, they are not in effect yet and the company does not want to adopt any changes in their own processes until they are. “Why do more than we have to,” said the CEO at a recent meeting. Still, they would like to do something that shows the community where they reside that they are aware of their actions, and are trying to make some changes for the better – it would also be a nice PR move. Your task is to present recommendations to the CEO in a way that persuades him to have the company take on social responsibility in a meaningful way.

Instructions

  • Create a PowerPoint presentation to be given to the CEO that includes slides that evaluate the given corporate social responsibility (CSR) impacts on the business activities.
  • Address the following:
  • Differentiate areas of corporate social responsibility (CSR) as they relate to business culture, public policy, ethics, marketing, and environmental concerns.
  • What are the consequences of using CSR as a “PR move” (be sure to consider social, economic and environmental consequences)?
  • Describe the U.S. national and international trends in CSR, as well as their benefits.
  • What recommendations would you offer the CEO in this situation?
  • Your PowerPoint should include:
  1. Title Page (first slide).
  2. A minimum of six “body” slides.
  3. At least one to two full slides for each topic noted above.
  4. Succinct text and bullet points.
  5. Relevant images, photographs, and/or charts. A list of references (last slide).
  6. A script in the presenter’s notes section of each slide that includes what you would say when presenting your PowerPoint to the team.
  • Use at least three credible sources. These should be cited and in APA format.

Week5 Business Management

 

Teams and Communication

During the next four weeks, we will work on creating a summary report that features the management operations of Camp Bow Wow. Over the past four weeks we have been covering information related to planning, organizing, leading, and controlling, so the summary report will offer a good method to demonstrate your knowledge of these concepts.

Camp Bow Wow is a dog boarding and grooming franchise with over 150 units in the U.S. and Canada that generated more than $100 million in revenue in 2017. Camp Bow Wow generates revenue through the boarding, daycare, feeding and full-service grooming, training, and in-home pet care services. Camp Bow Wow has developed an evolved business model that provides structure and supervision for dogs, while providing them the freedom and running room to be their joyful selves. (Source www.campbowwow.com)

One of the key elements of Camp Bow Wow’s success is by being innovative and having multiple ways to generate income. Off-leash dog parks have become very popular in many communities. Some off-leash dog parks are free, while others charge a membership fee. For this assignment, you are taking on the role of a Camp Bow Wow General Manager, and have been asked by the franchise owner, Susan Bell, to explore the idea of developing a Camp Bow Wow Dog Park. Adjacent to Susan’s Camp Bow Wow Location, she also owns a 10-acre vacant lot that is zoned correctly for a dog park.

Title: Dog park - Description: Image of dog park with large tree

Susan is considering forming a task force and is asking for your opinion on the dog park idea. You love the idea and have offered to lead and create a team to generate a summary report. You are wanting to advance in the company and you understand that Susan is a hands-on owner; so you are prepared to give her lots of detail on about how you will meet this challenge.

This week’s assignment will be to submit the first section of the summary report that includes; how you will plan, organize, lead, and control the formation of this taskforce of 5 employees of your choosing, and how you will effectively communicate with the taskforce team members as well as your boss, Susan Bell.
