MGT 4337: Business Policy and Decision Making
Decision Log Journal Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
After completing each simulation with your team, you will
individually document in a decision log the reasoning behind
your company’s strategy
by explaining why you and your co-manager(s) chose to make
the decisions and changes that you did in this module’s
simulations.
You will submit a journal entry for each simulation (two per
module, in Modules 2–6), totalling ten entries. However,
individual entries will not be
graded in each module. Instead, the Decision Log Journal will
be assessed as a whole after the completion of all the required
simulations in
Module 6.
Note: If your company scores poorly in the industry, an
exemplary Decision Log may replace your Business Strategy
Game Industry Score up to
a maximum of 90%.
Prompt
For each Decision Log Journal Entry, be sure to complete the
following:
1. First, for each journal entry, reflect on how you think the
decisions for the year went in about one or two paragraphs.
Specifically, address
the following:
a. Describe the major changes your company made
b. Explain why your company chose to make the decisions it did
c. Describe the outcomes of the changes or decisions your
company made
2. Then download and save a copy of this document for each
entry so you can edit the Strategy Decision Tracking Table on
page 2 to track
your decisions for each round and explain how each decision
fits with your company’s strategy. Be sure to include a detailed
description
of the decisions you track and a thorough explanation of how
they fit into your overall strategy.
For Example: One bullet point under a given region and market
segment might read as follows: “Increased the percentage of
superior
materials used to 70%. A differentiation strategy means having
higher-quality shoes, so we believed increasing the percentage
of
superior materials would be the best route to take.” This
example identifies a major decision made during the simulation
round and
explains how it fits in this company’s differentiation strategy.
To complete your journal entry for each decision year, you must
attach a saved, completed copy of the Strategy Decisions
Tracking
Table for that year’s decisions. It is recommended that you keep
a personal copy of each year’s saved table under original file
names as
a backup.

The South African Criminal Law
Background of the Country
South Africa is the southernmost country in the continent of
Africa, most recognized for its varying topography, cultural
diversity, and enhanced natural beauty, characteristics that have
made the nation a favorable tour destination for most tourists
since the end of the apartheid rule ("South Africa," n.d.).
Demographically, the population of South Africa is
approximated to be close to 60.1 million individuals of varying
cultures, origins, religions, and languages ("Demographics of
South Africa," 2001).
Economic Structure of South Africa
South Africa's economic structure is mixed with centralized,
socialist, and capitalists economic structures (Tennant, 2018).
South Africa's economic structure is mixed with centralized,
socialist, and capitalists economic structures (Tennant, 2018).
The economy has traditionally rooted its primary sectors, all of
which are a result of wealth favorable agricultural conditions,
and mineral sources(Tennant, 2018).
Government Structure in South Africa
South Africa has a democratic type of government ("Structure
and functions of the South African government," n.d.).
South Africans constitutional democracy constitutes three
systems of government and also an independent judiciary.
The provincial, national and local government levels contain
executive and legislative and executive authority in their
spheres and are also defined in the South African constitutions
as being interrelated, distinctive, and interdependent("Structure
and functions of the South African government," n.d.).
Methods of selecting officials in branches in South Africa
include the election of members of parliament rather than
individuals directly.
Legal tradition of South Africa
South Africa has a hybrid mixed legal system that is usually
formed by interweaving several distinct legal traditions, all of
which are civil legal systems that are passed on from the Dutch
people, law systems that were also inherited from the British
and indigenous Africans who are always termed as the African
customary law, all of which are several variations that depend
on the tribal origins ("Law of South Africa," 2006).
Describe the Procedural Protections in South Africa
The sources of substantive criminal law in South Africa are
contained in the legislation, case law, and common law ("South
African criminal law," 2012).
Criminal procedural law in South Africa entails the adjudication
procedures of that country's criminal law.
The procedures constitute the part of adjectival and procedural
law and also describe the several ways in which the substantive
counterparts and the South African criminal law are applied
("South African criminal law," 2012).

Running Head: CRIMINAL LAW OF SOUTH AFRICA

Criminal Law of South Africa
Project two: Criminal Law of South Africa
Background of the Country
South Africa is the southernmost country in the continent of
Africa, most recognized for its varying topography, cultural
diversity, and enhanced natural beauty, characteristics that have
made the nation a favorable tour destination for most tourists
since the end of the apartheid rule ("South Africa," n.d.). The
country lies several miles from major African countries like
Cairo and Lagos and close to 6000 miles far from North
America, Europe, and Eastern Asia, a location where a majority
of its trading partners are situated thus aiding the country to
reinforce the apartheid official system for the vast part of the
20th century("South Africa," n.d.).
Demographically, the population of South Africa is
approximated to be close to 60.1 million individuals of varying
cultures, origins, religions, and languages ("Demographics of
South Africa," 2001). Census was recently conducted in 2011
though the next is being anticipated in 2021. based on the 2011
statistics, there were close to 2.1 million foreigners despite the
numerous statistical reports suggesting that there could be
underestimation in the statistical figures since the real figure
could be close to 5 million not excluding the three million
Zimbabweans ("Demographics of South Africa," 2001). The
South African government permits its individuals to describe
themselves in census-based on their racial population groups
whereby the 2011 census figured out that 80.2% of the
population were black Africans,8.4% were whites,8.85 were
colored,2.5% were Asians or Indians and other unspecified
populations were close to 0.5%("Demographics of South
Africa," 2001).
Methods in which sovereignty was attained in South Africa
include the supremacy of the South African constitution, non-
racialism, sexism, advancement in the various human rights and
freedoms, and human dignity(South African Government | Let's
grow South Africa together, n.d.). As such, South Africa is
among the sovereign and democratic states not only in Africa
but also in the entire world.
Economic Structure of South Africa
South Africa's economic structure is mixed with centralized,
socialist, and capitalists economic structures (Tennant, 2018).
The major sectors which keep South Africa's economy running
include the wholesale and retail sectors, transport sector,
mining sector, tourism and agricultural sectors, and the
manufacturing sector (Tennant, 2018). The economy has
traditionally rooted its primary sectors, all of which are a result
of wealth favorable agricultural conditions, and mineral sources
(Tennant, 2018).

South Africa has a democratic type of government ("Structure
and functions of the South African government," n.d.).South

on the tribal origins ("Law of South Africa," 2006).
Source of Substantive Criminal Law in South Africa
The sources of substantive criminal law in South Africa are
contained in the legislation, case law, and common law ("South
African criminal law," 2012). The study of substantial cr iminal
laws is divided into two broad sections such as the applicability
of crimes availability, and the examination of definitions and
specific requirements of various specific offenses and
individual crimes ("South African criminal law," 2012). As
such, the study of criminal law mainly focuses on substantive
law. However, a proper distinction may be drawn between both
international and national criminal law.
Source of Procedural Criminal Law in South Africa

procedures of that country's criminal law. The procedures
constitute the part of adjectival and procedural law and also
describe the several ways in which the substantive counterparts
and the South African criminal law are applied ("South African
criminal law," 2012). Additionally, the criminal procedures
concern the enforcement of individual's rights during the
criminal processes. Examples of various procedural issues
include filing of charges trial, appeal, and human rights during
the investigation of law enforcement processes.

MGT 4337 Business Policy and Decision Making Decisi

  • 1. MGT 4337: Business Policy and Decision Making Decision Log Journal Guidelines and Rubric Overview After completing each simulation with your team, you will individually document in a decision log the reasoning behind your company’s strategy by explaining why you and your co-manager(s) chose to make the decisions and changes that you did in this module’s simulations. You will submit a journal entry for each simulation (two per module, in Modules 2–6), totalling ten entries. However, individual entries will not be graded in each module. Instead, the Decision Log Journal will be assessed as a whole after the completion of all the required simulations in Module 6. Note: If your company scores poorly in the industry, an exemplary Decision Log may replace your Business Strategy Game Industry Score up to a maximum of 90%. Prompt For each Decision Log Journal Entry, be sure to complete the following:
  • 2. 1. First, for each journal entry, reflect on how you think the decisions for the year went in about one or two paragraphs. Specifically, address the following: a. Describe the major changes your company made b. Explain why your company chose to make the decisions it did c. Describe the outcomes of the changes or decisions your company made 2. Then download and save a copy of this document for each entry so you can edit the Strategy Decision Tracking Table on page 2 to track your decisions for each round and explain how each decision fits with your company’s strategy. Be sure to include a detailed description of the decisions you track and a thorough explanation of how they fit into your overall strategy. For Example: One bullet point under a given region and market segment might read as follows: “Increased the percentage of superior materials used to 70%. A differentiation strategy means having higher-quality shoes, so we believed increasing the percentage of superior materials would be the best route to take.” This example identifies a major decision made during the simulation round and explains how it fits in this company’s differentiation strategy. To complete your journal entry for each decision year, you must attach a saved, completed copy of the Strategy Decisions Tracking
  • 3. Table for that year’s decisions. It is recommended that you keep a personal copy of each year’s saved table under original file names as a backup. 1 MGT 4337: Business Policy and Decision Making Strategy Decision Tracking Table *You must attach a copy of this completed table for each Decision Year Log Entry Region Wholesale Internet Private Label North America Europe-Africa Asia-Pacific Latin America 2 MGT 4337: Business Policy and Decision Making

Project two: Criminal Law of South Africa Background of the Country South Africa is the southernmost country in the continent of Africa, most recognized for its varying topography, cultural diversity, and enhanced natural beauty, characteristics that have made the nation a favorable tour destination for most tourists since the end of the apartheid rule ("South Africa," n.d.). The country lies several miles from major African countries like Cairo and Lagos and close to 6000 miles far from North America, Europe, and Eastern Asia, a location where a majority of its trading partners are situated thus aiding the country to reinforce the apartheid official system for the vast part of the 20th century("South Africa," n.d.). Demographically, the population of South Africa is approximated to be close to 60.1 million individuals of varying cultures, origins, religions, and languages ("Demographics of South Africa," 2001). Census was recently conducted in 2011 though the next is being anticipated in 2021. based on the 2011 statistics, there were close to 2.1 million foreigners despite the numerous statistical reports suggesting that there could be underestimation in the statistical figures since the real figure could be close to 5 million not excluding the three million Zimbabweans ("Demographics of South Africa," 2001). The South African government permits its individuals to describe
  • 21. themselves in census-based on their racial population groups whereby the 2011 census figured out that 80.2% of the population were black Africans,8.4% were whites,8.85 were colored,2.5% were Asians or Indians and other unspecified populations were close to 0.5%("Demographics of South Africa," 2001). Methods in which sovereignty was attained in South Africa include the supremacy of the South African constitution, non- racialism, sexism, advancement in the various human rights and freedoms, and human dignity(South African Government | Let's grow South Africa together, n.d.). As such, South Africa is among the sovereign and democratic states not only in Africa but also in the entire world. Economic Structure of South Africa South Africa's economic structure is mixed with centralized, socialist, and capitalists economic structures (Tennant, 2018). The major sectors which keep South Africa's economy running include the wholesale and retail sectors, transport sector, mining sector, tourism and agricultural sectors, and the manufacturing sector (Tennant, 2018). The economy has traditionally rooted its primary sectors, all of which are a result of wealth favorable agricultural conditions, and mineral sources (Tennant, 2018).

Source of Substantive Criminal Law in South Africa The sources of substantive criminal law in South Africa are contained in the legislation, case law, and common law ("South African criminal law," 2012). The study of substantial cr iminal laws is divided into two broad sections such as the applicability of crimes availability, and the examination of definitions and specific requirements of various specific offenses and individual crimes ("South African criminal law," 2012). As such, the study of criminal law mainly focuses on substantive law. However, a proper distinction may be drawn between both international and national criminal law. Source of Procedural Criminal Law in South Africa Criminal procedural law in South Africa entails the adjudication procedures of that country's criminal law. The procedures constitute the part of adjectival and procedural law and also describe the several ways in which the substantive counterparts and the South African criminal law are applied ("South African criminal law," 2012). Additionally, the criminal procedures concern the enforcement of individual's rights during the criminal processes. Examples of various procedural issues include filing of charges trial, appeal, and human rights during the investigation of law enforcement processes.
