Assignment 3: The Value of Fair Treatment in the Workplace Due Week 10 and worth 280 points The year is 2025 and the U.S. Supreme Court has declared all laws prohibiting discrimination in the workplace to be unconstitutional. In its opinion, however, the Supreme Court made clear that employers could voluntarily adopt policies and procedures prohibiting any and all forms of discrimination in the workplace. The Supreme Court also made clear that employers could voluntarily adopt hiring practices to diversify their workforces provided such practices did not include express preferences based upon immutable characteristics. You have been hired as a consultant by a large, nationwide retailer to examine the business case for ensuring that all of the employee protections are found within the federal anti-discrimination laws, as well as the business case for prohibiting any other forms of discrimination in the workplace. Write a four to six (4-6) page report in which you: Analyze the benefits and costs of voluntarily prohibiting three to five (3-5) federal forms of discrimination prohibited under the federal anti-discrimination laws. Discuss the benefits and costs of voluntarily prohibiting a form of discrimination not covered by any of the federal anti-discrimination laws. State the benefits and costs of voluntarily adopting hiring and promotion practices designed to diversify the workforce. Evaluate the ethical considerations of not voluntarily prohibiting the forms of discrimination laws examined in the first part of your report. Next, determine the ethical considerations of not voluntarily adopting hiring and promotion practices to diversify the workforce. Provide a final recommendation to this retailer on whether or not they should ensure all, part, or none of the employee protections examined in the first part of your report. Your recommendation should also include whether or not the retailer should adopt hiring and promotion practices designed to diversify the workplace. Be sure to include a rationale for your recommendation along with an explanation for any rejections of contrary positions or other pertinent considerations.

In this paper we propose a general methodology to measure the extent of tunneling activities. The methodology rests on isolating and then testing the distinctive implications of the tunneling hypothe- sis for the propagation of earnings shocks across firms within a group. When we apply our methodology to data on Indian business groups, we find a significant amount of tunneling, much of it occurring via nonoperating components of profit. I. INTRODUCTION Weak corporate law and lax enforcement mechanisms raise fears of expropriation for minority shareholders around the world. These fears seem especially warranted in the presence of business groups, a common organizational form in many developed and developing countries. In a business group, a single shareholder (or a family) completely controls several indepen- dently traded firms and yet has significant cash flow rights in only a few of them.' This discrepancy in cash flow rights between the different firms he controls creates strong incentives to expro- priate. The controlling shareholder will want to transfer, or tun- nel, profits across firms, moving them from firms where he has * We thank Abhijit Baneijee, Simon Johnson, Tarun Khanna, Jayendra Nayak, Ajay Shah, Susan Thomas, two anonymous referees, the editor (Edward Glaeser), and seminar participants at the MIT Development and Public Finance Lunches, the Harvard/MIT Development Seminar, the NBER-NCAER Conference on Reforms, the Harv ...

Global supply chain risk management strategies Ila Manuj Department of Marketing and Logistics, University of North Texas, Denton, Texas, USA, and John T. Mentzer The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Abstract Purpose – Global supply chains are more risky than domestic supply chains due to numerous links interconnecting a wide network of firms. These links are prone to disruptions, bankruptcies, breakdowns, macroeconomic and political changes, and disasters leading to higher risks and making risk management difficult. The purpose of this paper is to explore the phenomenon of risk management and risk management strategies in global supply chains. Design/methodology/approach – This paper is based on an extensive literature review and a qualitative study comprising 14 in-depth interviews and a focus group meeting with senior supply chain executives. Findings – The study provides insights into the applicability of six risk management strategies with respect to environmental conditions and the role of three moderators. Research limitations/implications – The model is developed in a global manufacturing supply chain context. It should be tested in other contexts and with other methods to provide generalizability. The study takes a much needed step toward building a theory of risk management in global supply chains, which opens important future research directions. Practical implications – This research provides direction to managers for choosing risk management strategies based on the global supply chain environment. Moderators have practical implications for global supply chain managers. Originality/value – The paper addresses an identified gap in the literature for selecting risk management strategies in global supply chains. It employs grounded theory, a methodology appropriate for theory-building, to explore a phenomenon with an inadequate theoretical base. Keywords Risk management, Supply chain management, International business Paper type Research paper Introduction Global supply chains are a source of competitive advantage. Global configurations of firms provide access to cheap labor and raw materials, better financing opportunities, larger product markets, arbitrage opportunities, and additional inducements offered by host governments to attract foreign capital (AlHashim, 1980; Kogut and Kulatilaka, 1994). However, coupled with these benefits that entice firms to go global are the uncertainties and consequent risks that managers face in global supply chains. As Barry (2004) argues, “An enterprise may have lowest over-all costs in a stable world environment, but may also have the highest level of risk – if any one of the multiple gating factors kink up an elongated global supply chain!” There is wide acknowledgement in the literature of the risks and uncertainties in global supply chains. Although risk management in multinational enterprises has been The current issue and full text archive of this journal is a ...

CASE Network Studies and Analyses 272 - Exchange Rate: Shock Generator or Sho...

CASE Center for Social and Economic Research

The paper re-assesses the impact of exchange rate regimes on macroeconomic performance. We test for the relationship between de jure and de facto exchange rate classifications on the one hand, and inflation, output growth and output volatility on the other. We find that, once high-inflation outliers are excluded from the sample, only hard exchange rate pegs are associated with lower inflation compared to the floating regime. There is no significant relationship between output growth and exchange rate regimes, confirming results from previous studies. De jure pegged regimes (broadly defined) are correlated with higher output volatility, but this relationship is reversed for the de facto classification. The last result points to a potential endogeneity problem present when the de facto classification is used in testing for the relationship between exchange rate behavior and macroeconomic performance.

Martin (2005) has studied the nance-based contracting approach now ; widespread popularity in the human ser- 'erformance contracting, developed by the of Federal Procurement Policy and state sing officers as well as The National nion of State Purchasing Officials, essentially specifies standards of performance, such as quality, timeliness, and quantity, and the expected outcomes of contracts. Based on his analysis of performance-based contracting in several states, he concluded that the process had accomplished its primary objective of requiring contractors to focus on performance results. Martin also found that quality, outcomes, and outputs could be considered and treated together in determining the conformity to performance standards of a contract and that all contractor compensation need not be tied to performance. There was also evidence that performance-based contracting did not necessarily lead to "creaming," where cases more likely to be successful are chosen in order to improve performance outcomes. Martin asks whether performance-based contracting works, and he concludes, based on studies in several states, that it does and that it is accomplish- ing its objectives. The American Public Human Services Association (2005), which is largely an association of state public agencies, agrees that the federal expectations for public services and contracts should be focused on outputs of services. One of their recommendations is that "the foc.

Paper Prompt Political Ideologies It is often said .docx

LacieKlineeb

Paper Prompt: Political Ideologies It is often said that our only constant is change. Things are always changing and in flux. This semester we have read two theorists of change. John Locke outlined a radical liberal vision of individual rights, rights of rebellion, and toleration that were perhaps most forcefully manifested in the American and French revolutions (momentous events that marked tremendous political and philosophical changes in the modern world). Edmund Burke warned against the dangers of rapid or radical change and advocated measured pragmatism while embracing the wisdom of tradition. In this essay, I’d like you to compare and contrast these two thinkers and their reflections on change. More specifically, how does John Locke’s vision of individual rights, toleration, rights of rebellion, and the right to appropriate nature with our labor square with Edmund Burke’s reaction to the revolutionary upheavals in 18th century France, his opinions on the American Revolution, his attitude towards tradition, common sense, and his wariness of philosophical systems? In your essays, be sure to show an understanding of John Locke’s liberalism and Edmund Burke’s conservatism. Where possible, distinguish their brand of liberalism and conservatism not only from each other but also from contemporary iterations of these paradigmatic political outlooks. Term Paper Prompt: Leftism has been dominated by shades of two theoretical tendencies: Marxism and Anarchism. Marxists and anarchists have been philosophical and political archenemies since the First International where Karl Marx and the Communists effectively alienated the Anarchist faction of the Workingmen’s Association. Anarchists were brutally suppressed in many so-called communist revolutions (most notably the October Revolution where Lenin dismissed libertarian leftists as “infantile”) and there are many historical and political grudges between them to this day. Despite their many differences, they share a common disdain for capitalism (and the state systems that reinforce it through the oppression of workers and the guarding of bourgeois interests) and advocate for its overthrow. In this essay, I would like you to do three things: 1) situate the Marxist and anarchist critique of within the wider critique of liberalism as a guiding “super structural” legitimation of capitalism. Identify where liberalism might be reconciled with anarchism and how anarchism might be seen as the proper inheritor of classical liberalism in an industrial and post-industrial age. 2) Analyze and contrast how Marxism and Anarchism share a devastating critique of capitalism and how they approach the question of revolution (and living revolutionarily) in light of this critique. 3) Compare how “anarchist” is Marxist theory and how “Marxist” are anarchist tendencies with respect to question of alienation and exploitation. In your essay, be sure to show an understanding of Karl Marx’s and James C. Scott’.

ECO 306 Final Project I Guidelines and Rubric Overview The first final project for this course is the creation of an informative presentation. The presentation will analyze U.S. interest rate behavior over a 10- to 15-year period during the last 50 years. Through your research, you will examine economic trends and risks, and the impact of monetary policy on interest rates. This presentation will provide an opportunity for you to develop an understanding of interest rate behavior. By analyzing a sufficient period of time, you will identify trends and changes in interest rates and witness the impact that key economic events have on interest rate determination. In doing this, you will develop an appreciation of the relationship between policy targets and market factors, which impact economic activity. The final product will be submitted in Module Three. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:  Explain the determinants and behavior of interest rates as they relate to markets  Analyze the relationship between monetary policy and the economy for informing responsible business decision making Prompt For this final project, create a PowerPoint presentation of 8–10 slides analyzing U.S. interest rate behavior over a 10- to 15-year period during the last 50 years. You will access information in the Federal Reserve Economic Database (FRED) and create a presentation that includes speaker notes and visual representations of your findings. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: I. Overview: Define the specific interest rates and time period that you are analyzing, and explain why you chose them. II. Interest Rates A. Explain interest rate trends over the time period and whether they have been high or low by historical standards. B. Using FRED tools, visually illustrate changes in interest rates during the time period. C. Describe economic risk factors that have impacted interest rates in the time period and what kind of impact they had. Consider bankruptcies, financial crises, geopolitical factors, and so on. D. Describe underlying economic conditions that impacted the activity of these interest rates during the time period. III. Monetary Policy A. Discuss the impact of interest rate changes on general business decision-making. Consider expanding or contracting operations, deciding to undertake or postpone additions of capital (i.e., increasing productive capabilities), or increasing or decreasing inventories. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/ B. Explain the causal relationship between the federal funds rate and market rates of interest. C. Using your analysis of interest rates during the time period as a guide, explain the internal and external impacts on the economy.
