Week 4 Assignment-Fair Value
DUE DATE: Sunday midnight of Week 4, submitted in a MS Word (or Excel if
computations required) document with filename format:
Last First_Week X hwk.doc or .xls Make sure your name appears on each page of the
homework using the header function.
Homework questions:
1. The Fair Value requirement has been blamed by some for the credit market crunch that
started in 2007, worsened in 2008 and continues into 2009. Discuss what effect you
think Fair Value had on financial institutions and why some believe that it precipitated
the current economic recession. Do you agree or disagree that Fair Value caused the
collapse of the mortgage and lending markets? There are a number of good articles and
links to help you with this such as the article in the Web Links page from the January 20,
2009 Boston Globe about the impact on State Street Corporation’s capital from
potentially having to permanently write down the value of assets (it will help you
understand how marking down the value of assets impacts the banks’ capital, and how in
turn, this impacts their ability to lend). Also, the JOA May 2008 3 Articles with view pro
and con about Fair Value vs. Historic Cost. There are a number of other readings to help
with this topic or you may gather your own-please share them if you would on the student
section of the Web Links page.
2. You are the CFO of a publicly traded company and are getting ready to prepare you year-
end financial statements. In your investment portfolio you have:
a. Long-term bank CD’s
b. Stock holdings in 5 publicly traded companies
c. Stock holdings in 2 privately held companies
d. Investment in a real estate trust (REIT) which owns strip malls and other
commercial buildings for retail establishments. This trust trades on a market
with other similar trusts, although the trades are infrequent. Take into account
the current real estate market when evaluating this investment.
e. Private equity investment in a joint venture for the development of a new
green energy method to produce electricity.
f. Complex foreign currency hedges that were custom-designed by an
investment bank for the company, to hedge their exchange rate exposure on
overseas transactions.
What level for evaluation would each fall into and what method(s) would you use to
determine the fair value of each? How easy or difficult would each be and why? The Nov
16, 2008 Financial Week Article on the Web Links page about Illiquid Bank Assets may
help with this question.
3. Find the financial statements of a publicly traded company that has measured assets
and/or liabilities at fair value. You will find this information in the footnotes (just open
up the document and search the page with either Fair Value or FAS 157 as a key word).
What financial ratios (name at least 2) could be affected by the difference between
measuring these assets at historic cost vs. fair val.

Why the ABA Got Hacked — and What It Means for Banks
American Banker October 2, 2015
Summary: The ABA (American Bankers Association) announced that its website had
been hacked, resulting in access to 6,400 users' email addresses and passwords. This is
the first breach ever for the ABA. Although it has been targeted in the past, this time
hackers got away with user passwords and IDs. The hackers targeted the shopping cart
with a likely motive of also accessing user credit card information. The hackers were able
to get away with email addresses and passwords to try and use them in other websites like
Amazon or airline sites. The ABA strongly recommends that if users use the same
passwords for other sites to change their passwords immediately. The true motives
behind the ABA breach may never be known. "We only hear about the really high-profile
cases," Hayes said. "Everybody is being breached and this is happening on a daily basis."

Assignment 1: Project Proposal4
Assignment 1: Project Proposal
Mark McLeod
BUS419 – Project Estimating & Budgeting
Dr. Carlos J Febry
Date:4/19/19
Selected project
The selected project will involve the development of an information system for the general management of the Mundi Hospital. The main aim of the system will be to establish the desired efficiency, manage human resources, manage patient’s records with ease as well as automate finance department of the Hospital. By implementing the proposed project, the hospital will have aligned the operations of the hospital towards achieving the set goals and objectives.
Project goals and objectives
One of the goals of the proposed information system will be reducing the wait time from hours to forty-five minutes upon signing into the hospital. The goal will be achieved through with the help of the following objectives:
· Faster determination of patient’s requirements
· Easier scheduling of patients appointments
· The system does the faster appointment schedule
The second goal of the system will be facilitating easier financial management. The goal will be achieved through the following objective
· To establish faster payments for the services offered
· Faster generation of financial reports trends
· Easier tracking of transaction made by the hospital
The last goal that Mundui Hospital wishes to achieve through the system is the efficient management of human resources. The goal will be achieved through the fowling objectives
· Monitoring of employees performance
· Manage employees affairs such as promotions and salaries
Key project customers and stakeholders
Project stakeholders involve all the parties that will be impacted by the new system during the development and implementation of the project. The critical project customers for the Mundui hospital Information will be the patients as well as the hospital staff. The system will help hospital staff to manage to perform their duties within the stipulated time frame thus reducing the wait time for the patients. Patients will also rely on the system to determine their wait time to see a doctor or time taken to receive any service needed within Mundi Hospital. The hospital management is a sponsor of the project and thus expects that the proposed information system will be developed within the stipulated time as well as the allocated budget. Any deviation from the proposed requirements will be an unwelcome move to the project sponsor. Deviation from the original plan would imply an increased cost of the project or unwanted delays.
The hospital wishes to attract more customers who are cautious of what to expect before making their final decisions regarding healthcare services. The system will help the hospital eliminate the problem of unwanted delays resulting from the manual operation of patients records as well handling of wait time for the patients. The project hopes to receive more support from other investors if the proof of the.

You should now find a press release from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, dated December 16, 2009, which discusses the decisions of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) for that date.
This release also states that the Federal Reserve is in the process of purchasing $1.25 trillion of agency mortgage-backed securities and about $175 billion of agency debt. Additionally, the release states that the FOMC has decided to gradually reduce “the pace” of such Fed purchases. Discuss why you believe that the FOMC has made such a decision, and explain the consequences of such a decision on the economy.
In your answer, discuss the Federal Reserve’s use of open-market operations to influence the money supply and the respective consequences of such actions. Include a discussion of the money multiplier effect in your response. Justify your conclusions and provide appropriate examples.

I.
How does open market operation (OMO) affect economic activity:
OMO refers to the
sale /purchase of securities
(government) by the
FED
to other banks, institutional buyers and financial institutions in order to influence the total money circulating in the system. Ina recession when the govt wants consumers to spend more it purchases these securities. This releases more funds into the coffers of these institutions, which allows them to use these to extend more credit and raise consumption and investments. the opposite happens in a boom period. When the government wants to reduce spending and arrest rising prices it takes away funds by offering to sell its own securities. Financial institutions buys these and reduce the amount left with them for credit purposes. Since the FOMC is the
policy making branch
of the FED it is responsible for any decisions on sale/purchase of securities as well as the price at which these transactions happen. The article is a part of that decision making. It outlines the decisions taken and elucidates the reasons behind the former. Therefore the influence on the economy of OMO is via changes in
money supply

Assignment 1 Political Belief ProfileThe relationship between pub.docx
Assignment 1: Political Belief Profile
The relationship between public opinion and political participation raises many questions associated with how the public thinks, why they behave in the manner they do, and what outcomes in the form of ideological expressions will probably take place because of citizens’ behavior in the political scenario. Essentially, “who, what, and where” issues again surface in response to evaluation of political socialization.
Political socialization may be expressed in a singular way, depending on the issue of concern, but it is not derived from any single impact throughout the life of American voters and nonvoters. Qualities and conditions such as gender, race, economic status, education, and religion impact voter behaviors. Indeed, whether or not an individual votes, or takes part in any of the varied available options for participation, is closely allied with the political socialization of individuals and even entire socioeconomic groups.
The Political Compass Web site (
http://www.politicalcompass.org
) offers a self-test that helps you analyze your personal political views on what the test authors call a “left–right” scale. Take the test and review your results to see where you stand on the economic scale and the social scale. Discuss the results using the following questions:
Did your “test result” match what you thought were your political beliefs?
What is “politically correct” thinking? Give examples of what might be considered “politically correct” and “politically incorrect.”
To what degree do you think your values and beliefs represent the norms, values, and traditions of society? Define your answer using the following Likert scale—extremely common, common, moderately common, uncommon, and extremely uncommon.

Assignment 1 Organizing HR ProjectsIn order to effect a more ce.docx
Assignment 1: Organizing HR Projects
In order to effect a more centralized model of delivering Human Resources services, there are core project functions that must be undertaken to ensure success as well as ascertaining that all parties are motivated to working with the new model. Establishing a new project team requires orientation to the overall goals and objectives in a bid to ensure that every team member is well aware of both intermediate and final goals. This will act as a guidance to the team making processes and functions easier. On the other hand, successful implementation requires strategic planning which is about allocation of resources, planning, and scheduling in a manner that optimizes the available resources and performing within the budget and the timeline (Neluheni, Pretorius & Ukpere, 2014). In this respect, it is the duty of the project manager or leader to guide and oversee the various processes and activities in a bid to ensure that the desired goals and objectives are being achieved.
The Statement of Overall Importance
When implementing the project, the overall steps of strategic planning are important to start, progress, and finish of the project. There are distinct steps such as vision where the overall goals and desired outcomes are communicated to the parties involved in the accomplishment of the task. Other steps such as planning also highlights the importance of laying down the strategy for attaining various tasks where resources are allocated optimally in a manner that avoids wastage. As a project leader, it is highly important that strategic planning is undertaken. In the field of project management, studies have shown that failure to effectively plan is one of the major contributors to failure especially when it comes to performing within the deadline and budget (Kerzner, 2013). A project manager must be able to put in place a plan that has goals and objectives that must be communicated to the concerned parties such as the team members. Actually, it is deemed best practice when a leader involves other parties such as team members in formulating a plan which improves the diversity of the decisions made.
The steps provided in the texts is highly important to the project. It is imperative to note that project management is nowadays strategic meaning that it must align with overall strategic direction of the organization. Majority of organizations are currently funding projects that are seen to have a direct influence on the strategic direction of the organization. For instance, in this case, it can be seen that the goal is to ensure easier and more efficient management of human resources which have become a strategic tool as opposed to a supporting function it has been over the previous decades. In essence, the strategic planning process will help outline goals, communicate the plans, and strategize on how various tasks and processes will be accomplished in line with desired goals.

Assignment 1: more information
Assignment 1: More about the task
Task
From the Unit Information: “The design of environmental studies is without exception a compromise between
cost and information. This translates almost directly into a balance between Type I and Type II errors. Define
Type I and Type II errors, as the relate to environmental studies, and discuss the differing importance and
implications of these two kinds of problems. Use examples of different kinds of monitoring situations (i.e.
objectives) in your essay.
Assessment criteria
Definition: 20% of mark
Assessed on the basis of:
· the clarity of the definition,
· the completeness of the definition, and
· the accuracy of the definition.
Discussion of Type I & II errors: 40% for each type
Assessed on the basis of:
· the range of examples used,
· the validity of the examples used,
· the way in which the examples are used to display how the effects of the errors vary in different
circumstances, and
· the way in which the examples are used to display how the significance of the errors varies in dif-
ferent circumstances.
More about the first part of the essay: the definition
The Study Guide, tapes and readings actually discuss the nature of Type I and II errors in some depth. In
this part of the essay I am asking you to translate this discussion into your own words and, by doing this,
convince me that you really understand the nature of these errors and how they arise. The three assessment
criteria for this part of the essay focus on what I think is crucial here.
· The clarity of your definition. Can I easily understand what you have written and what you mean?
You usually need to understand something fairly well to be able to explain it clearly.
· The completeness of your definition. Does your definition, and discussion, cover all the important
issues? It is important here not to go “overboard”. For instance (and I’ll give you this tip for free),
one issue that is relevant to Type II errors is power. But, while it is appropriate to consider power,
an extended discussion of what affects power is not.
· The accuracy of your definition. Simply, is what you have written correct? It would, for instance, not
be correct to state that the chance of a Type I error was influenced by the cost of the instruments
used to collect the data!
I’ve said this before but it is important enough to be worth repeating: this section of the essay is worth only
20% so 20 marks is the most you can get, regardless of how good your definition is. Submitting a five page
essay, with four pages devoted to the definition, is not likely to be a successful strategy!
More about the second part of the essay: the examples
This is the main part of the essay. In the past, I’ve been hesitant to provide examples because I didn’t want
to steer people’s thinking in particular directions. This year I’ve decided to include an example (although a
very silly one) to give you a bit more guidance.

Competition has, since the 90s, led to wider gaps between industry leaders and laggards. There are more “winner-take-all” environments and greater churns among industry sector rivals. We have witnessed sharp increases in quality and quantity of IT (Information Technology) investments. We’ve seen striking competitive dynamics, particularly in sectors that spend the most on IT. Some of the competitive dynamics models include the Destroy Your Business (DYB) strategy, the Grow Your Business (GYB) strategy, the Information Systems (IS) and strategic advantage, and the social business strategy.
Write a four to five page paper in which you:
1. Compare and contrast the DYB and GYB strategies in terms of the ability to sustain a business in the marketplace over the long term, to be competitive against rivals, and profitability.
2. Examine the “cannibalization” strategy and determine if it is or is not a better strategy compared to the DYB strategy for growth, competitiveness, and market leadership. Provide two business examples.
3. Determine whether or not changes in business strategy should entail reassessment of IS. Provide three reasons to support your position.
4. Examine how firms can use social IT in alignment with organizational strategy and IS strategy. Consider collaborative capabilities; and what, how, and who should use social IT for a social business strategy.

Assignment 1: Legal Aspects of U.S. Health Care System Administration
Due Week 4 and worth 100 points
Prevailing wisdom reinforces the fact that working in U.S. health care administration in the 21st Century requires knowledge of the various aspects of health laws as they apply to dealing with medical professionals. Further, because U.S. health care administrators have to potentially interact with many levels of professionals beyond the medical profession, it is prudent that they are aware of any federal, state, and local laws that may be applicable to their organizations. Thus, their conduct is also subject to the letter of the law. They must evaluate the quality of their professional interactions and be mindful of the implications and ramifications of their decisions.
You are employed as a top health administrator at the hypothetical Well Care Hospital in Happy Town. When you were hired, your pre-employment screening involved background checks into any violation of hospital medical misconduct during the last five (5) years. The results showed that you were in good standing with the hospital administration community. During the past year, you had to undergo training in personnel conduct, as well as in inter-employee conduct with medical staff, nurses, technologists, etc. During the past six (6) months, the hospital has been under scrutiny for breach of medical compliance.
Note
: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
Articulate your position as the top administrator concerned about the importance of professional conduct within the health care setting. Justify your position.
Ascertain the major ramifications of having professional staff compromise the boundaries of ethics and medical conduct.
Analyze the four (4) elements required of a plaintiff to prove medical negligence.
Discuss the overarching duties of the health care governing board in mitigating the effects of medical non-compliance, as they apply to the rules of practice set forth in the Well Care Hospital governing board’s manifesto.
Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as academic resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

Why the ABA Got Hacked — and What It Means for Banks
American Banker October 2, 2015
Summary: The ABA (American Bankers Association) announced that its website had
been hacked, resulting in access to 6,400 users' email addresses and passwords. This is
the first breach ever for the ABA. Although it has been targeted in the past, this time
hackers got away with user passwords and IDs. The hackers targeted the shopping cart
with a likely motive of also accessing user credit card information. The hackers were able
to get away with email addresses and passwords to try and use them in other websites like
Amazon or airline sites. The ABA strongly recommends that if users use the same
passwords for other sites to change their passwords immediately. The true motives
behind the ABA breach may never be known. "We only hear about the really high-profile
cases," Hayes said. "Everybody is being breached and this is happening on a daily basis."

Date:4/19/19
Selected project
The selected project will involve the development of an information system for the general management of the Mundi Hospital. The main aim of the system will be to establish the desired efficiency, manage human resources, manage patient’s records with ease as well as automate finance department of the Hospital. By implementing the proposed project, the hospital will have aligned the operations of the hospital towards achieving the set goals and objectives.
Project goals and objectives
One of the goals of the proposed information system will be reducing the wait time from hours to forty-five minutes upon signing into the hospital. The goal will be achieved through with the help of the following objectives:
· Faster determination of patient’s requirements
· Easier scheduling of patients appointments
· The system does the faster appointment schedule
The second goal of the system will be facilitating easier financial management. The goal will be achieved through the following objective
· To establish faster payments for the services offered
· Faster generation of financial reports trends
· Easier tracking of transaction made by the hospital
The last goal that Mundui Hospital wishes to achieve through the system is the efficient management of human resources. The goal will be achieved through the fowling objectives
· Monitoring of employees performance
· Manage employees affairs such as promotions and salaries
Key project customers and stakeholders
Project stakeholders involve all the parties that will be impacted by the new system during the development and implementation of the project. The critical project customers for the Mundui hospital Information will be the patients as well as the hospital staff. The system will help hospital staff to manage to perform their duties within the stipulated time frame thus reducing the wait time for the patients. Patients will also rely on the system to determine their wait time to see a doctor or time taken to receive any service needed within Mundi Hospital. The hospital management is a sponsor of the project and thus expects that the proposed information system will be developed within the stipulated time as well as the allocated budget. Any deviation from the proposed requirements will be an unwelcome move to the project sponsor. Deviation from the original plan would imply an increased cost of the project or unwanted delays.
The hospital wishes to attract more customers who are cautious of what to expect before making their final decisions regarding healthcare services. The system will help the hospital eliminate the problem of unwanted delays resulting from the manual operation of patients records as well handling of wait time for the patients. The project hopes to receive more support from other investors if the proof of the.

I.
How does open market operation (OMO) affect economic activity:
OMO refers to the
sale /purchase of securities
(government) by the
FED
to other banks, institutional buyers and financial institutions in order to influence the total money circulating in the system. Ina recession when the govt wants consumers to spend more it purchases these securities. This releases more funds into the coffers of these institutions, which allows them to use these to extend more credit and raise consumption and investments. the opposite happens in a boom period. When the government wants to reduce spending and arrest rising prices it takes away funds by offering to sell its own securities. Financial institutions buys these and reduce the amount left with them for credit purposes. Since the FOMC is the
policy making branch
of the FED it is responsible for any decisions on sale/purchase of securities as well as the price at which these transactions happen. The article is a part of that decision making. It outlines the decisions taken and elucidates the reasons behind the former. Therefore the influence on the economy of OMO is via changes in
money supply

In 1994, the New York City Police Department adopted a law enforcement crime fighting strategy known as COMPSTAT (COMPuter STATistics). COMPSTAT uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to map the locations of where crimes occur, identify “ hotspots”, and map problem areas. COMPSTAT has amassed a wealth of historical crime data. Mathematicians have designed and developed algorithms that run against the historical data to predict future crimes for police departments. This is known as predictive policing. Predictive policing has led to a drop in burglaries, automobile thefts, and other crimes in some cities. Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:
Compare and contrast the application of information technology (IT) to optimize police departments’ performance to reduce crime versus random patrols of the streets.
Describe how COMPSTAT, as an information system (IS), implements the four (4) basic IS functions:
Input
Processing
Output
Feedback
Determine how information systems have allowed police departments that implement tools such as COMPSTAT to respond to crime faster.
Apply the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats analysis (SWOT analysis) on behalf of police departments that intend to implement predictive policing.

Assignment 1 Political Belief ProfileThe relationship between pub.docx
Assignment 1: Political Belief Profile
The relationship between public opinion and political participation raises many questions associated with how the public thinks, why they behave in the manner they do, and what outcomes in the form of ideological expressions will probably take place because of citizens’ behavior in the political scenario. Essentially, “who, what, and where” issues again surface in response to evaluation of political socialization.
Political socialization may be expressed in a singular way, depending on the issue of concern, but it is not derived from any single impact throughout the life of American voters and nonvoters. Qualities and conditions such as gender, race, economic status, education, and religion impact voter behaviors. Indeed, whether or not an individual votes, or takes part in any of the varied available options for participation, is closely allied with the political socialization of individuals and even entire socioeconomic groups.
The Political Compass Web site (
http://www.politicalcompass.org
) offers a self-test that helps you analyze your personal political views on what the test authors call a “left–right” scale. Take the test and review your results to see where you stand on the economic scale and the social scale. Discuss the results using the following questions:
Did your “test result” match what you thought were your political beliefs?
What is “politically correct” thinking? Give examples of what might be considered “politically correct” and “politically incorrect.”
To what degree do you think your values and beliefs represent the norms, values, and traditions of society? Define your answer using the following Likert scale—extremely common, common, moderately common, uncommon, and extremely uncommon.
Write your response in 150–200 words.

Alan Cabelly, Ph.D. 2 Case Overview Part A In August, Jason Hubbs submitted a résumé to the human resource department of Big Time Computers Inc. in response to an advertisement in the local newspaper for a senior technical writer. The résumé was forwarded to Big Time’s Manager of Technical Publications, Lisa Cavanaugh, for her consideration. Big Time Computers is a local high-tech firm with sales offices throughout the United States and Europe. At the time of the senior technical writer job advertisement, Big Time employed about 1,200 people. Big Time designs and manufactures high-end computer systems that sell in the $500,000 to $6,000,000 range. Big Time’s products are sophisticated and complex, and the working atmosphere is highly technical. The engineering department is the largest and most dominant department. Engineers are in management positions throughout the company, including top-level management. Due to the sophistication and complexity of their products, employees in marketing, customer service, and technical publications are required to have strong technical backgrounds; many have engineering or computer science degrees. The technical publications department employed 14 people. This included the manager, two senior writers (Mark Samson and Chris Murray), seven writers, one technical editor (Colton Hamrick), and three editorial assistants. The manager had a business degree and had been working in the technical publications field for 12 years. The senior writers had four-year engineering degrees; the other seven writers had engineering degrees, computer science degrees, or two-year associate’s degrees in a technical field. The technical editor had an English degree and an associate’s degree in electronics, and the editorial assistants had English or liberal arts degre.

Assignment 1 Organizing HR ProjectsIn order to effect a more ce.docx
Assignment 1: Organizing HR Projects
In order to effect a more centralized model of delivering Human Resources services, there are core project functions that must be undertaken to ensure success as well as ascertaining that all parties are motivated to working with the new model. Establishing a new project team requires orientation to the overall goals and objectives in a bid to ensure that every team member is well aware of both intermediate and final goals. This will act as a guidance to the team making processes and functions easier. On the other hand, successful implementation requires strategic planning which is about allocation of resources, planning, and scheduling in a manner that optimizes the available resources and performing within the budget and the timeline (Neluheni, Pretorius & Ukpere, 2014). In this respect, it is the duty of the project manager or leader to guide and oversee the various processes and activities in a bid to ensure that the desired goals and objectives are being achieved.
The Statement of Overall Importance
When implementing the project, the overall steps of strategic planning are important to start, progress, and finish of the project. There are distinct steps such as vision where the overall goals and desired outcomes are communicated to the parties involved in the accomplishment of the task. Other steps such as planning also highlights the importance of laying down the strategy for attaining various tasks where resources are allocated optimally in a manner that avoids wastage. As a project leader, it is highly important that strategic planning is undertaken. In the field of project management, studies have shown that failure to effectively plan is one of the major contributors to failure especially when it comes to performing within the deadline and budget (Kerzner, 2013). A project manager must be able to put in place a plan that has goals and objectives that must be communicated to the concerned parties such as the team members. Actually, it is deemed best practice when a leader involves other parties such as team members in formulating a plan which improves the diversity of the decisions made.
The steps provided in the texts is highly important to the project. It is imperative to note that project management is nowadays strategic meaning that it must align with overall strategic direction of the organization. Majority of organizations are currently funding projects that are seen to have a direct influence on the strategic direction of the organization. For instance, in this case, it can be seen that the goal is to ensure easier and more efficient management of human resources which have become a strategic tool as opposed to a supporting function it has been over the previous decades. In essence, the strategic planning process will help outline goals, communicate the plans, and strategize on how various tasks and processes will be accomplished in line with desired goals.

Assignment 1 more informationAssignment 1 More about the.docx
Assignment 1: more information
Assignment 1: More about the task
Task
From the Unit Information: “The design of environmental studies is without exception a compromise between
cost and information. This translates almost directly into a balance between Type I and Type II errors. Define
Type I and Type II errors, as the relate to environmental studies, and discuss the differing importance and
implications of these two kinds of problems. Use examples of different kinds of monitoring situations (i.e.
objectives) in your essay.
Assessment criteria
Definition: 20% of mark
Assessed on the basis of:
· the clarity of the definition,
· the completeness of the definition, and
· the accuracy of the definition.
Discussion of Type I & II errors: 40% for each type
Assessed on the basis of:
· the range of examples used,
· the validity of the examples used,
· the way in which the examples are used to display how the effects of the errors vary in different
circumstances, and
· the way in which the examples are used to display how the significance of the errors varies in dif-
ferent circumstances.
More about the first part of the essay: the definition
The Study Guide, tapes and readings actually discuss the nature of Type I and II errors in some depth. In
this part of the essay I am asking you to translate this discussion into your own words and, by doing this,
convince me that you really understand the nature of these errors and how they arise. The three assessment
criteria for this part of the essay focus on what I think is crucial here.
· The clarity of your definition. Can I easily understand what you have written and what you mean?
You usually need to understand something fairly well to be able to explain it clearly.
· The completeness of your definition. Does your definition, and discussion, cover all the important
issues? It is important here not to go “overboard”. For instance (and I’ll give you this tip for free),
one issue that is relevant to Type II errors is power. But, while it is appropriate to consider power,
an extended discussion of what affects power is not.
· The accuracy of your definition. Simply, is what you have written correct? It would, for instance, not
be correct to state that the chance of a Type I error was influenced by the cost of the instruments
used to collect the data!
I’ve said this before but it is important enough to be worth repeating: this section of the essay is worth only
20% so 20 marks is the most you can get, regardless of how good your definition is. Submitting a five page
essay, with four pages devoted to the definition, is not likely to be a successful strategy!
More about the second part of the essay: the examples
This is the main part of the essay. In the past, I’ve been hesitant to provide examples because I didn’t want
to steer people’s thinking in particular directions. This year I’ve decided to include an example (although a
very silly one) to give you a bit more guidance.

Assignment 1 Models for Competitive DynamicsDue Week 2 and wort.docx
Assignment 1: Models for Competitive Dynamics
Due Week 2 and worth 105 points
Competition has, since the 90s, led to wider gaps between industry leaders and laggards. There are more “winner-take-all” environments and greater churns among industry sector rivals. We have witnessed sharp increases in quality and quantity of IT (Information Technology) investments. We’ve seen striking competitive dynamics, particularly in sectors that spend the most on IT. Some of the competitive dynamics models include the Destroy Your Business (DYB) strategy, the Grow Your Business (GYB) strategy, the Information Systems (IS) and strategic advantage, and the social business strategy.
Write a four to five page paper in which you:
1. Compare and contrast the DYB and GYB strategies in terms of the ability to sustain a business in the marketplace over the long term, to be competitive against rivals, and profitability.
2. Examine the “cannibalization” strategy and determine if it is or is not a better strategy compared to the DYB strategy for growth, competitiveness, and market leadership. Provide two business examples.
3. Determine whether or not changes in business strategy should entail reassessment of IS. Provide three reasons to support your position.
4. Examine how firms can use social IT in alignment with organizational strategy and IS strategy. Consider collaborative capabilities; and what, how, and who should use social IT for a social business strategy.
5. Use at three quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Assignment 1 Legal Aspects of U.S. Health Care System Administratio.docx
Assignment 1: Legal Aspects of U.S. Health Care System Administration
Due Week 4 and worth 100 points
Prevailing wisdom reinforces the fact that working in U.S. health care administration in the 21st Century requires knowledge of the various aspects of health laws as they apply to dealing with medical professionals. Further, because U.S. health care administrators have to potentially interact with many levels of professionals beyond the medical profession, it is prudent that they are aware of any federal, state, and local laws that may be applicable to their organizations. Thus, their conduct is also subject to the letter of the law. They must evaluate the quality of their professional interactions and be mindful of the implications and ramifications of their decisions.
You are employed as a top health administrator at the hypothetical Well Care Hospital in Happy Town. When you were hired, your pre-employment screening involved background checks into any violation of hospital medical misconduct during the last five (5) years. The results showed that you were in good standing with the hospital administration community. During the past year, you had to undergo training in personnel conduct, as well as in inter-employee conduct with medical staff, nurses, technologists, etc. During the past six (6) months, the hospital has been under scrutiny for breach of medical compliance.
Note
: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
Articulate your position as the top administrator concerned about the importance of professional conduct within the health care setting. Justify your position.
Ascertain the major ramifications of having professional staff compromise the boundaries of ethics and medical conduct.
Analyze the four (4) elements required of a plaintiff to prove medical negligence.
Discuss the overarching duties of the health care governing board in mitigating the effects of medical non-compliance, as they apply to the rules of practice set forth in the Well Care Hospital governing board’s manifesto.
Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as academic resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
