Core Values Essay

/in /by

Overview

The readings and learning activities for this week have focused on core values, their origins, and the role that they play in our society and in our professional and personal lives. For this essay, you will reflect on the readings and the class discussions on core values.

Content

  • In this essay you will identify and explain 3-5 of your core values.
  • You will also discuss the origins of these core values.

Organization

  • Include an introductory paragraph, where you grab the reader’s attention, provide a transitional statement, give a clear thesis statement, and map out the 3-5 key points that will support your thesis. (review elements of an introduction)
  • Include 3-5 body paragraphs where you include details and examples to help you develop and support your key points. (review body paragraph structure)
  • End your essay with a concluding paragraph where you restate your thesis, summarize your key points, and leave the reader with the “so what?” (review successful concluding paragraphs)

Grammar and Mechanics

  • Your paper should be written according to the standards for academic writing, with attention to the following:
    • punctuation: this includes things such as recommended use of commas, colons, and apostrophes.
    • word-level accuracy: this includes things such as capitalization, spelling, word-tense, and usage.
    • sentence-level accuracy: this includes things such as sentence boundaries, subject-verb agreement, and pronoun-antecedent agreement.
  • Take time to proofread after you’ve written your essay. Think about the kinds of writing mistakes you tend to make (like using “text-speak” or sentence fragments) and watch out for those. Reading your paper aloud is a good way to catch any mistakes.

Sources and Documentation

You are not required to use sources for this assignment.

Format and Length

  • Your paper should include a header consisting of your name and the assignment name and a title that reflects your specific essay focus. (See example below.)
  • Your paper should be typed, double-spaced and in 11 or 12-point font.
  • Your final product should be a minimum of five paragraphs (about 700-1000 words) in length. However, the quality of the content of this essay is most important. Be sure to fully answer the prompt.

You must write Essays based on your analysis of your choice of the documents below to fulfill the essay requirement

/in /by

 You must write Essays based on your analysis of your choice of the documents below to fulfill the essay requirement. They are worth a maximum of 400 points each. The essays should not be long–no more than 2 pages (500 words minimum).  Read the document and respond to the questions at the end. Number your responses to correspond to the questions and answer each question in a new paragraph.  Each paragraph should include support drawn directly from the source. I look for more than a simple factual answer to the question.  Tell me why you think your answer is correct.  In other words justify your answer from the document itself or by logical reasoning about its contents and the events that brought it about.  Show me that you have thought seriously about what you have read. When you have finished the paper submit it through “Safe Assign.”

Peter Gottlieb, archivist at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, lays out the structural factors that shaped the life African Americans might make North or South in the first decades of the 20th century, arguing that family and community resources were crucial in shaping the decisions that potential migrants made about relocation and re-relocation.

Based on your analysis of the essay, address the following questions:

1)  What were the major strategies, obstacles and benefits of African- American migration?

(This should be written as a “traditional” essay that includes an examination of each underlined term.)

Whom to Hire?

/in /by

  

Whom to Hire? 

For this assignment, you will apply decision-making to the process of international human resource management as you determine which of the four final applicants to hire into a global executive position. 

You are a member of the management committee of a MNE that conducts business in 23 countries. While your company’s headquarters is located in the Netherlands, your regional offices are located fairly evenly throughout the four hemispheres. Primary markets have been in the European Union and North America; the strongest emerging market is the Pacific Rim. Company executives would like to develop what they see as a powerful potential market in the Middle East. Sales in all areas except the Pacific Rim have shown slow growth over the past two years.

At present, your company is seeking to restructure and revitalize its worldwide marketing efforts. To accomplish this, you have determined that you need to hire a key marketing person to introduce fresh ideas and a new perspective. There is no one currently in your company who is qualified to do this, and so you have decided to look outside. 

The job title is “Vice President for Global Marketing”; an annual salary of $250,000-$300,000, plus elaborate benefits, an unlimited expense account, a car, and the use of the corporate jet. The person you hire will be based at the company’s headquarters in the Netherlands and will travel frequently.

A lengthy search has turned up four people with good potential. It is now up to you to decide whom to hire. Although all the applicants have expressed a sincere interest in the position, it is possible that they may change their minds once the job is offered. Therefore, you must rank them in order of preference so that if your first choice declines the position, you can go on to the second, and so on.

First, read the biographies of each applicant. As you are doing this, rank each of them from 1 to 4, with 1 being your first choice, and explain your reasons for their ranking.

For this essay respond to the following questions using the decisions you have made with your rankings.

  1. The first section of your      paper should be an overview of your rankings and reasons for your      decisions.
  2. Did your decision include      any culturally based biases you may have—for example, feelings, personality      traits, or politics in your rankings?
  3. Did you make any      observations that you feel would have been fully acceptable in your own      culture, but were not accepted in other cultures? If so, explain.
  4. What implications do you      believe any of the applicant’s cultural differences would have in business      dealings? In what countries or cultures?
  5. What expatriate adjustments      for the candidate need to be considered? How will the company handle      these?
  6. Explain the decision-making      process you used to make your decisions.

Park L.

Park L. is currently senior vice president for marketing at a major South Korean high-technology firm. You have been told by the head of your Seoul office that his reputation as an expert in international marketing is outstanding. The market share of his company’s products has consistently increased since he joined the company just over 15 years ago. His company’s market share is now well ahead of that of competing producers in the Pacific Rim.

Park graduated from the University of Seoul and has worked his way up through the ranks. He does not have a graduate degree. In addition to his native tongue, Park is able to carry on a reasonably fluent conversation in English and has a minimal working knowledge of German and French.

Saya K.

Saya K. is a woman living in Malaysia. She began her teaching career while finishing her DBA (Doctorate in Business Administration) at the Harvard Business School and published her first book on international marketing ten months after graduation. Her doctoral dissertation was based on the international marketing of pharmaceuticals, but she has also done research and published on other areas of international marketing.

Two months after the publication of her book, Saya went to work in the international marketing department of a Fortune 500 company, where she stayed for the next ten years. She returned to teaching when Maura University offered her a full professorship with tenure, and she has been there since that time. In addition, she has an active consulting practice throughout Southeast Asia. In addition to fluency in Malay, English, and Japanese, Saya speaks and writes German and Spanish and can converse in Mandarin.

Peter V.

Peter had worked in a key position in the international marketing division of a US Fortune 100 company until the company pulled out of his country South Africa eight months ago. Peter has a long list of accomplishments and is widely recognized as outstanding in his field. 

Peter has a PhD in computer science from a leading South African university and an MBA from Purdue’s Krannert School of Business.

Peter speaks and reads English, Dutch, Afrikaans, and Swahili and can converse in German.

Joe P.

Joe is currently job hunting. His former job as head of marketing for a single-product, high-technology firm—highly specialized workstations for sophisticated artificial intelligence applications—ended when the company was bought out by Texas Instruments.

Joe has both his undergraduate and MBA degrees from Stanford University. In addition, he was a Rhodes Scholar and won a Fulbright scholarship, which he used to support himself while he undertook a two-year research project on the marketing of high-technology equipment to Third World countries. In addition to his native English, Joe has a minimal command of French—which he admits he hasn’t used since his college days. 

Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be 6-8 pages in length,      which does not include the title page, abstract, or required reference      page, which are never a part of the content minimum requirements.
  • Write theses statement 
  • APA style edition 7th      guidelines.
  • three scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles unless the assignment      calls for more.
  • Support your submission with      course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook 
  • It is strongly needed that      you submit  assignment into the      Turnitin Originality Check before submitting it and provide the report  

Making a Writing Plan

/in /by

SUBJECT : REDUCING ECHOLALIA in children with autism  ( ABA) 

Part of making a writing plan is learning how to craft an outline. This is really the start of the project plan, and there are keys to outlining successfully. To start, your text needs to include a beginning or introduction, middle or arguments, and ending or conclusion. So, arrange your plan accordingly. This will help you arrange your thoughts and information, identify what your project will explore, and how you will say it.

Use the Outline Worksheet provided in the Resources to walk you through these topics:

Crafting an Outline

In the beginning or introduction, include the following:

  • Your topic.
  • The purpose of the paper.
  • The aspects or issues you will be exploring in the paper.
  • The who, what, when, where, why, and how of your paper.

Next, in the middle or the argument section, include the following:

  • The purpose of exploring the aspect.
  • How the aspect relates to the larger topic
  • The who, what, when, where, why, and how of the aspect.

You may also want to include quotes, facts, or statistics that you discovered in your research. Lastly, conclude by doing the following:

  • Restate your topic and the purpose of the paper.
  • Include a summation from each aspect argument section.

Don’t worry if you don’t feel like the conclusion is super-strong. You will get there.

Making a Writing Plan

Make some notes on how you write currently. Ask yourself the following questions:

  • What is your process? How do you start writing?
  • What methods do you use for completing the text?
  • How do you revise?
  • How do you edit?

Then, review the Writing a Course Paper module from Unit 2 Studies (provided in this unit’s study as well). What is the process, as explained in the presentation? What are the suggestions for how to start writing? What are the suggestions related to the revision and editing processes, and completing the text?

Look ahead at the deadlines, and think about the time you need to complete the tasks. Produce a schedule for completing the various written assignments in the course.

Submit your outline and work plan for review.

Note: Your instructor may also use the Writing Feedback Tool to give you feedback on your writing. In the tool, click the linked resources for helpful writing information.

Scoring Criteria

  1. Identify purpose of paper.
  2. Summarize arguments.
  3. Provide conclusion.

Discuss the confidence interval approach and the test of significance approach in hypothesis testing.

/in /by

 

The Assignment

Discuss the confidence interval approach and the test of significance approach in hypothesis testing.

Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.

Tips & Hints for Success

I specifically discuss confidence intervals and test of significance in my Guidance for this week.  This is also discussed in our text.  My expectation is that you will read these before answering this Discussion.  Be sure to take advantage of these resources in your response.  This will make this Discussion easier and more value-added all around!

These are important concepts that I employ almost every week! 

This Discussion Board seeks to encourage you to consider the similarities and differences (this is what “Discuss” always means in an essay assignment) between the confidence interval approach and test of significance approach to hypothesis testing.  You’ll find the latter discussed in detail beginning on page 68 of Gujarati & Porter.  And, as always, you will want to be sure to read my Supplemental Guidance for a head start!  One of the things that I think you’ll discover is that the confidence interval and test of significance approaches to hypothesis testing are pretty much complementary (e.g., two sides of the same coin)… but they are nonetheless rather different in concept and quite different in practical application.

Business Ethics Final Paper

/in /by

To prepare for this assignment, review Chapter 9 in the course text, as well as the article on compliance program auditing by Usnick and Usnick (2013).
