1. Case 3-4 Franklin Industries’ Whistleblowing (a GVV Case) Natalie got the call she had been waiting for over six long months. Her complaint to the human resources department of Franklin Industries had been dismissed. It was HR’s conclusion that she was not retaliated against for reporting an alleged embezzlement by the Accounting Department manager. In fact, HR ruled there was no embezzlement at all. Natalie had been demoted from assistant manager of the department to staff supervisor seven months ago after informing Stuart Masters, the controller, earlier in 2015, about the embezzlement. Her blood started to boil as she thought about all the pain and agony she’d experienced these past six months without any level of satisfaction for her troubles. Natalie Garson is a CPA who works for Franklin Industries, a publicly owned company and manufacturer of trusses and other structural components for home builders throughout the United States. Six months ago she filed a complaint with HR after discussing a sensitive matter with her best friend and coworker, Roger Harris. Natalie trusted Harris, who had six years of experience at Franklin. The essence of the discussion was that Natalie was informed by the accounting staff of what appeared to be unusual transactions between Denny King, the department manager, and an outside company no one had never heard of before. The staff had uncovered over $5 million in payments, authorized by King, to Vic Construction. No one could find any documentation about Vic, so the staff dug deeper and discovered that the owner of Vic Construction was Victoria King. Further examination determined that Victoria King and Denny King were siblings. Once Natalie was convinced there was more to the situation than meets the eye, she informed the internal auditors, who investigated and found that Vic Construction made a $5 million electronic transfer to a separate business owned by Denny King. One thing lead to another, and it was determined by the internal auditors that King had funneled $5 million to Vic Construction, which, at a later date, transferred the money back to King. It was a $5 million embezzlement from Franklin Industries. Natalie met with Roger Harris that night and told him about the HR decision that went against her. She was concerned whether the internal auditors would act now in light of that decision She knew the culture at Franklin was “don’t rock the boat.” That didn’t matter to her. She was always true to her values and not afraid to act when a wrongdoing had occurred. She felt particularly motivated in this case—it was personal. She felt the need to be vindicated. She hoped Roger would be supportive. As it turned out, Roger cautioned Natalie about taking the matter any further. He had worked for Franklin a lot longer than Natalie and knew the board of directors consisted mostly of insider directors. The CEO of Franklin was also the chair of Page 181the board. It was well known in the company that whatev.

1. Date: September 13, 2017 – September 15, 2017 2. Current Exchange Rate ($ / rupee): 1/64.16 3. During the past week (or since your last entry), what has been the major economic or business news relating to India? http://www.thehindu.com/business/Industry/economy-suffers-as-firms-tackle- debt/article19677814.ece In India this year, there are a fair amount of firms and businesses that are having issues paying off interest on their loans. On top of this, fewer loans are happening and the state’s GDP growth rate has lowered this year. The article lists several factors, one of which is pretty simple; interest rates are high at the moment. This article on business interested me because this is an issue that is relatable to every modernized country on Earth, how to pay off debt when you aren’t making enough this year to cover costs? You can’t, so the unpaid portions add up. I didn’t feel like there was a strong bias in this article, but I’m also not accustomed to the Indian financial market or its businesses. How is this story relevant to my understanding of India? It lets me take an inside look at the current economy and how they might be fairing in comparison. It also shows that business and banking policies are not that different on some levels. 4. During the past week (or since your last entry), what has been the major political news in India? http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/patronising-congress- again-a-historic-necessity/article19679153.ece First, why do I consider this major political news in India? The discussions and accusations being talked about in the article are serious and can definitely effect votes for the mentioned political parties, which in turn can change or add new laws, regulations, taxes, and etc. The title seemed incredibly familiar to what we always see in American newspapers about our politics. I felt that the author, or maybe the newspaper, might actually lean more towards the BJP and TDP’s opposing forces. Other than that, there were tons of biased quotes from both parties. So, why do I think this topic is relevant to my understanding of India? Simply put, just as with business and banking, there is this kind of familiarity in a way. This article lets me get an inside view on the current parties and the accusations being made, showing me that politics is a somewhat universal language, one part attack ads, one part confusion, and one part progress. 5. What new information have you found related to religion in India?http://www.thehindu.com/society/faith/tendencies-of- prakriti/article19656107.ece We talked a lot about how the culture of India and the religions of it can definitely be intertwined. This short article tells of the three ‘gunas’, which I didn’t know much about if anything really. As far as biases go, you could say that the article is biased to what it is teaching about this religious aspect, but honestly, it feels more informative. Why is thi.

1. Compare and contrast Strategic and Tactical Analysis and its .docx

monicafrancis71118

1. Compare and contrast Strategic and Tactical Analysis and its application to street crimes such as robbery and property crimes such as burglary. In your opinion is one more suited in addressing criminal behavior? Strategic analysis involves the analysis over the long-term, whereas tactical analysis involves analysis in a more direct manner. Each has analysis scheme has their uses in addressing criminal behavior. To use an example with drug activity strategic analysis would be better suited to understanding who could be the future customers of drug dealers, where are possible locations that could facilitate such deals, and helping law-enforcement and community leaders come up with measures to combat drug sales. However, the tactical analysis would focus more on finding out where the current supply of drugs is coming in from, who the leader(s) is(are), and cracking down on local dealers. While there is overlap between the two, I believe that tactical analysis is the best when addressing criminal behavior, because of the more immediate results that it provides. 2. What is CPTED? Please elaborate on how CPTED may be an effective means to reduce a criminals Modus operandi? Provide an example. CPTED is an acronym that stands for crime prevention through environmental design which is “The proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the fear and incidence of crime, and an improvement in the quality of life” (Cozens, Saville, & Hillier, 2005). This means that CPTED is all of the passive defenses that the environment provides law-abiding citizens against criminally minded individuals. These defenses can be broken down into six different aspects that work together to create CPTED they are: territoriality, surveillance, access control, target hardening, image/maintenance, and active support (Cozens, Saville, & Hillier, 2005). All of these aspects work together to decrease crime in the area. respond to this discussion question in 250 words .

1. Coalition ProposalVaccination Policy for Infectious Disease P.docx

monicafrancis71118

1. Coalition Proposal Vaccination Policy for Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Scope of the Problem Vaccines have done an excellent job at preventing many diseases, some of which can be deadly if not prevented. When bacteria or viruses enter the body, they immediately begin to attack and multiply, which then causes an infection. The immune system will then fight off the infection and establish antibodies, which will help recognize and fight off the same disease in the future. For this very reason, it has been important for children to be vaccinated at an early age so that they may establish those antibodies their bodies need. Vaccines act as the disease so that the body may produce antibodies, but the good thing is that it won’t cause an infection (CDC, 2017). There are current policies that mandate vaccinations in the U.S., for example, all children are required to be up to date on their vaccines before beginning school. The problem is that there are many loopholes and exceptions to the rule, whether it’s due to religious reasons or other medical issues. Because of this, there are still many children and adults who have yet to be fully compliant with vaccine requirements Some important statistics to note (Johns Hopkins Medicine): · CDC estimated 2,700 new cases of hepatitis A in the U.S. · It is estimated that in 2011, 19,000 new cases of hepatitis B and 17,000 cases of hepatitis C occurred. · In 2012, nearly 10,000 new cases of tuberculosis were reported. · Approximately 36,000 people per year die from influenza and pneumonia. · 50,000 new cases of HIV infection occur annually. · In 2012, new cases of STD’s were reported, including HPV, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, HIV, and Syphilis. Who is affected by this problem? Identify. Children are mainly affected by this problem due to parents’ hesitancy for vaccinations. Although law mandates for children to be vaccinated for school enrollment, parents have the option to use exemptions to avoid having their children vaccinated. Currently, medical exemptions are allowed for medical reasons in all states, and it is estimated that one to three percent of children are excused from vaccinations because of these exemptions. Parents have continued to use reasons to avoid vaccinations, for example, the belief that the decline in vaccine-preventable diseases is due to improved health care, hygiene, and sanitation (Ventola, C. L., 2016). Health disparities among Blacks, Hispanics, and Whites have played a huge role in terms of vaccination coverage. Studies have shown that health insurance has a direct impact on the vaccination coverage in adults, therefore, low-income families who can’t afford health insurance will most likely not get the vaccines they need. With that being said, uninsured prevalence was higher among non-Hispanic blacks (19.5%) and Hispanics (30.1%) compared with non-Hispanic whites (11.1%) (Lu, P., et al, 2015). What has been written on the issue and policy options? There ha.

1. Company Description and Background a. Weight Watchers was created by Jean Nindetch in 1963 when she began to invite her friends and neighbors so that they can discuss their weight loss issues and how they could lose weight successfully. The basic concept of WW plan consisted of two components: the WW program and group support. Comprised of a food plan and an activity plan. WW eliminated counting calories by introducing a point system. b. Targeted women 25 to 55 c. 2017 about 1 million members who attended 32,000 WW meetings around the world organized by more then 9,000 leaders who had successful lost weight using WW. d.

December 2015, WW launched a SmartPoints system which was a scale for food management. It was introduced to work along with a new weight management program called “Beyond the Scale.” Even thought doctors and nutrition’s approved the program, then-CEO David Kirchhoff felt it wasn’t enough because the programs didn’t take into account social, environmental and behavioral factors that led members to fail at their weight loss journey. Shortly after in August 2013, CEO Kirchhoff resigned in order to “pursue other opportunities” which left WW struggling to adjust their business strategy in the Internet Age. 2. Problems Posed In The Case a. CEO Jim Chambers resigned in September 2016 afterward a tumultuous year with stock prices dropping 54% that year alone and seven straight quarters of declining sales. b. Next generation diet programs and online apps like MyFitnessPal and FitBit were providing the same services for free of charge. CEO Chambers admitted that “consumers have changed and that WW hadn’t kept the pace.” c. As obesity levels increased worldwide, the market for weight loss products was growing exponentially, however, WW had to increase customer value and seek new target segments to fend off competitors from traditional rivalry’s like Nutrisystem, Slim Fast, Medifast, Jenny Craig and the Biggest Loser. d. Emergence of fad diets e. Decreased effectiveness of marketing and advertising programs f. The need for developing new and innovative products and services that could be delivered online or via mobile apps g. WW International faced stock price volatility because of rival weight management options such as the over-the-counter weight-loss drug Alli launched by GlaxoSmithKline in June 2006 and the development of Allergan’s Lap-Band device. h. Worldwide Health Organization estimated 2.3 billion people to be overweight by 2015 and more than 700 million obese. i.

1. Choose a case for the paper that interests you. Most choose a .docx

monicafrancis71118

1. Choose a case for the paper that interests you. Most choose a case that they experienced on the job (e.g., company merger, reorganization, adoption of innovation or new procedure). If you have never experienced anything remotely like this, then you could choose a case in your community that interested you (e.g., political issues like taxes, land acquisition, school boards). If none of those apply then you can choose a case that is personal to you (e.g., getting a raise, selling something to a client or customer). If you have never worked, then choose a case you may experienced as an intern or student. I am pretty liberal about the kind of case that you choose. 2. Choose a case that involved a failed change attempt or proposes a change that has never been attempted. DO NOT CHOOSE A CASE THAT WAS SUCCESSFUL. The outline is hard to use when describing successful change attempts. 3. Write the paper as an expanded outline. That means writing paragraphs under the lower level headings. By using the outline as headings, you won’t leave something out. 4. With regard to length, some overwrite Section I. I think they get into describing the problem and go on a tirade. Although cathartic, it eats space. Section II should be relatively brief and the shortest of the three sections. Section III is where you should be writing a lot. That is where you are showing me that you can use the course content to propose an effective change. 5. Remember that you will be sending the paper to me as an attachment. I will grade it and make comments in the file. I will return it to you at the SAME address from which I received it. IF FOR SOME REASON, YOU DON’T WANT ANYONE TO SEE THE PAPER, USE YOUR STUDENT EMAIL ADDRESS. DO NOT USE YOUR WORK ADDRESS. 6. I will erase all papers at the end of the term. I never share papers with others. Below I will give you some insights into the outline. SUGGESTED OUTLINE FOR CHANGE MANAGEMENT PAPERS I. Statement of problem area. In this section, describe the change attempt and the key players. A. Background of change attempt. 1. Nature of change (What is being proposed?). In this section, provide an overview of the change including a brief history. 2. Issues (Why is it being proposed?). If you are writing about a failed change, indicate why it was proposed and how it failed. If you are writing about a proposed change, then describe the problem it is intended to resolve. 3. Change Agent(s). This section is focused on the people who proposed or will propose the change. If there are only a few change agents, you can describe what each on is like. If you are there many, then describe their general characteristics. 4. A. Personality. What are they like? If you want, you can refer to the personalities I mention in the handout on integrative bargaining. B. Power. What kind of power do the change agents have and how much? Is their power formal (e.g., authority) and/or or informal (e.g., expertise, chari.

1. Briefly describe the major components of a data warehouse architecture? Components in data warehouse Data warehouse contains the collection of data that are used for decision making and used business intelligence. · It is a subject-oriented, integrated, time- variant, and non-updateable data. · Three components in the architecture of the data warehouse are · Operational data · Reconciled data · Derived data Diagrammatic representation of architecture of data warehouse is shown below: Components in the data warehouse architecture: Operational data: · It maintains the data from the operational system throughout the organization. Reconciled data · It is a data stored in the enterprise data warehouse and an operational data store. · it contains a current and detailed data and authoritative sources for decision support application. Derived data · Derives data is a data obtained from the data mart that is used for the end user decision support application. · It contains the selected, formatted, and aggregated data. · It is the data stored in every mart. Types of metadata in the data warehouse architecture: There are three types of metadata. They are, · Operational metadata. · Enterprises data warehouse (EDW)metadata. · Data mart metadata. Operational metadata: It describes the data in the operational system that provides for the enterprise data warehouse. It is available in various formats, but the quality is poor. Enterprises data warehouse (EDW)metadata: It describes the data of reconciled layer. It provides the rules for converting the operational data into reconciled data. It extracts from the enterprise data model. Data mart metadata: It describes the data of derived data layer. It provides the rules for converting the reconciled data into derived data. 2. Explain how the volatility of a data warehouse is different from the volatility of a database for an operational information system? Data warehouse · Data warehouse contains the collection of data that are used for decision making and used business intelligence. · It is a unique kind of database, so it focuses on business intelligence, time variant data, and external data. · The term data warehouse usually denotes to the grouping of many different database across an entire enterprise. · It is a subject-oriented, integrated, time- variant, and non-updateable data. Operational database: An operational database is the database which is usually accessed and restructured on a regular basis and generally handles the daily transactions for a business. It is used to manage the dynamic data and modification in the real-time data. Volatility of a data warehouse and operational database: A key dissimilarity between a data warehouse and an operational system is the data stored type. Data warehouse is based on the use of periodic data operational system is based on the use of the transient data.

The owners bought a small traditional Chinese firm and decided to copy the successful structure they had developed at home. This structure was headed by three general managers who equally shared the responsibilities for the business activities of the firm. The consequences were as follows. 1.The Chinese employees were assigned tasks by people they had never seen before and whom they did not understand. Many misunderstandings occurred, some were quite costly. 2.The employees back in Europe were only concerned with whether the assigned tasks were completed and did not consider any other obligations to the Chinese employees, such as taking care of the relationships with the Chinese government, banks, etc. 3.Eventually, the local employees became frustrated and were ready to leave the company. The result was that the management model was changed again and a single managing director of the subsidiary was accountable for all business activities in Hong Kong. Discussion Questions: 1Relate the described situation to one of the cultural dimensions identified by Hofstede. How can you explain it? 2How does this situation compare to comparable situations in your home country? What are the limits of a cultural explanation? 2. Case 2.2 Long-term development plans of a German multinational in the USA A German firm had developed its activities in the electrical industry in the USA for two years and the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Peter Hansen was happy with their current performance: market share for important products had increased significantly and progress was better than expected. The number of employees had increased, including quite a few local American managers in high-level management positions – a situation which was rather unusual for a subsidiary of a German multinational in its early stage of development. The CEO’s goal from the beginning was to avoid an ethnocentric approach to the American activities of his firm and to take a polycentric approach that supported recruitment of local managers. One of these US local managers was John Miller, the marketing director of the company. During the last two years, he had been thoroughly prepared for his job. The company had sent him to various high-level training programs at top business schools and had provided him with a long-term career plan, which included short-term vertical career advancement. While Peter Hansen wanted to support the development of an American management style, he nevertheless tried to transfer some HR practices which are highly valued in Germany – particularly investing in training and taking a long-term intraorganizational career perspective. While some US firms took this approach, these ideas were not as widely accepted in the USA as in Germany. However, Peter Hansen assumed that these policies would be valued by the new US.

1. Based on the project timelines, how would you anticipate develo.docx

1. Based on the project timelines, how would you anticipate developing and transacting SSH’s immediate and longer-term insurance requirements? The long-term insurance requirements will be addressed through a strategy that is mutually agreed upon with Dar SSH. We have suggested several proposals and recommendations for your insurance program as more detailed in our answer to question 6 of the proposal questionnaire. Preliminary discussions including the RFI presentation on 25th November will align both of us (Gulf Insurance as insurance provider and Dar SSH as partner) on objectives, timeline and process. The discussions should include input from stakeholders within Dar SSH such as regional offices and projects teams as on what are their expectations from the insurance and how they can contribute to effective and efficient insurance solution. The preliminary discussions will lead to the following: A. Development of requirements B. Development of KPIs C. Internal Information gathering D. Approaching the insurance market for offering It is difficult to set a time frame of the above exercise because it will depend on how sophisticated the ultimate strategy and based on internal dynamics within Dar SSH. While discussions take place internally on the long-term insurance requirements, we believe the immediate requirements can be met through the current procedure, ad-hoc renewal of existing policies. The objective in the immediate/short term will be to ensure coverage continues without interruption so that exposure has protection to a good degree. The requirements 3-8 in Appendix Two will be critical in this stage. Requirement 2 can be met partially through tendering process, which is discussed in more details in following sections. We propose the following measures to improve the process of achieving the immediate insurance requirements: · Tabulate all 79 policies within your Appendix 3 by expiry date. · Start the renewal exercise two months prior to expiry. · Obtain internal feedback about current policy on the following aspects: · Claims experience · What is outstanding, how long and why · What was not covered and why · How long the paid claims took time and what was the average time of resolution? · Survey on insurer handling of the claims · Financial reconciliations · Any claims agreed but not paid · Any outstanding premiums · What is the aging analysis of outstanding premiums · Assess the renewal offer of incumbent insurer based on claims experience There are requirements that are associated with long-term strategy such as 1, 9, 10 and 12. These requirements will be implemented at that stage. We are prepared and delighted to support you on requirements 11 and 15 with immediate effect as follows: · Requirement 11: By end of January, we shall provide you with market update following the results of treaty renewals on 1st January. This is a milestone that insurance markets follow closely since it represents the general momentum of the m.

1. Assisted suicideAndrew Williams The topic that I chose to.docx

1. Assisted suicide Andrew Williams The topic that I chose to discuss is “Assisted Death” Statutes Showalter, J. S. (2017) . For more than a century there has been debate about whether to allow physicians to assist terminally ill persons in ending their lives. The debate is complicated by various moral and ethical considerations, by the fact that physicians have surreptitiously assisted with euthanasia on occasion over the years. some States have ban assisted suicide, but other States such as Montana have made it legal Statutes Showalter, J. S. (2017). As a resident of Detroit Michigan I am very familiar with assisted suicide, Dr. Jack Kevorkian was a huge story throughout the mid 90's.Michigan determined that he was guilty of murder. Assisted Suicide has reached the Supreme court on many different occasions. The supreme court has ruled that the decision is ultimately up to the States.Assisted suicide is illegal in 45/50 States Statutes Showalter, J. S. (2017). The gray area is that the federal government can not stop doctors from issuing prescribed drugs that assist in suicide. Doctors can help suffering patients purse their death. The problem is nobody can talk about it directly.This can lead to bizarre, conversations between medical professionals and overwhelmed families. Doctors and nurses want to help but also want to avoid prosecution, so they speak carefully, parsing their words. In my personal opinion I think that it should be legal, in the right conditions. I believe a person that will suffer in pain until their death should have the right to end there life. I think its difficult for other people to make that judgement that aren't in the same pain as other people. I think free will is something that we should respect for every person and if they wish to end there live it is something that we should respect. Showalter, J. S. (2017). The Law of Healthcare Administration (Vol. Eighth edition). Chicago, Illinois: Health Administration Press. 2. Consent for "non-competent" parties Gloribel Torres to Showalter (2017), Incompetence is a legal status, not a medical diagnosis, but this determination is best made based on a doctor’s qualified judgment. The test is whether patients can understand their condition, the medical advice they have been given, and the significances of declining to consent. Every patient has the right to select or to decline treatment. This right is not unfettered, and the only reason why the state can override the patient’s freedom to decide is for the preservation of life, protect innocent third parties, prevention of suicide, protection of the ethical integrity of the medical profession. According to Showalter (2017) in Consent issues for Incompetent Adults, he describes legal issues that come up when a patient is not able to consent due to his/her incapacity causing a delay in care and developing severe medical consequences in the relation of refusing medical care. As describe by Showalter (2017) in one ca.

1. Back Ground of Question: Primary Care physicians and healthcare personnel offer some preventive services. At least four of these services—maternal, infant, and child health; HIV; sexually transmitted diseases; and immunization and infectious diseases are likely to be available through local departments of public health, in community and neighborhood health center clinics, and from other providers of public health services. Question: Please share your thoughts on why there is skepticism of cost-effectiveness of preventative services? (Half a Page, 1 Reference) 2. Back Ground of Question: Telehealth use digital information and communication technologies, such as computers and mobile devices, to access health care services remotely and manage one's health care. Question: Please share some of the downside of using telehealth? (Half a Page, 1 Reference) 3. Back Ground of Question: Costco’s Supply Chain Management . Question: Explain Costco’s Supply Chain Management like this: Example of the Information I need: Costco has a supplier diversification strategy for this decision area of operations management. However, the company’s supply chain management is focused on quality and low prices. As a result, Costco offers a limited array of products at its warehouses/stores. The company does not sell products with high bulk/wholesale prices. (1 Full Page, 2 References) .

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...

Sandy Millin

http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024 Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error. Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials. This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
