Complementary Bidding in Construction Projects
SITUATION:
Several paving contractors in two southern states participated in an anticompetitive scheme known as complementary bidding or bid rigging. Prospective competitors on a particular paving contract would select a “winning” bidder amongst themselves. The designated contractor would submit its bid for the project, while the other contractors would knowingly submit bids having a higher dollar amount or containing terms the contractors knew would be unacceptable to the state entity letting the contract. The scheme would thus create the illusion of a competitive bidding process while ensuring that a particular paving contractor ultimately received the contract award.

This document discusses ethical behavior in project controls. It outlines ethical guidelines for relations with the public, employers and clients, and other professionals. The guidelines address topics such as safety, honesty, fairness, competence, confidentiality, compensation, and professional conduct.
A code of ethics outlines principles to guide professionals in conducting business honestly and with integrity. It provides rules and guidelines for ethical behavior, though it may not solve every dilemma. A compliance-based code relies on clear rules and consequences, while a value-based code requires greater self-regulation. Well-known professions like doctors, lawyers and engineers often have their own codes addressing topics like integrity, objectivity, confidentiality and competency. Implementing a code involves distributing it widely, specifying management's role, and establishing accountability measures.
The document outlines a code of ethics for engineers, including their responsibilities to act with honesty, avoid conflicts of interest, maintain confidentiality, and serve the public interest. It discusses avoiding deceptive acts, issuing truthful statements, disclosing errors, declining work they are not competent to perform, and not using their position for personal gain. The code also covers giving proper credit and not making false claims about others to promote themselves.

On the 14th March 2014 the House of Commons committee on public accounts report "Contracting out public services to the private sector" was published, and makes uncomfortable reading for those involved as suppliers or procurers. It might be tempting to say this is the reality of the difficulties of delivering public services, and it might instead be the case that procuring services through contracts performs with great variability across all sectors commercial and public.
A conference was hosted by the APM Value Management SIG that looked at those issues in the face, entertained the notion that the solution is in the hands of project teams, from either side, client or supplier/contractor, and sought to prove that case, with both theory and evidence!
The event included the following speakers:
John Heathcote, APM Value Management SIG Chair
Alan Munro (keynote speaker)
Paul Riley, Head of Capital Projects, Leeds Metropolitan University Estates & Contractor partners BAM
John Phillips, BAM Director

The document discusses proposed additions to engineering codes of ethics regarding sustainability. It presents arguments that sustainability should be integrated as a core principle rather than considered redundant or lesser in value. Specifically, it argues sustainability should be defined in terms of engineered systems and framed as a justice concept to avoid disproportionate impacts on subgroups. Adding sustainability to the paramount clause could expand engineers' commitment to virtues like honesty, trust, and humility needed for social change.

Option 1 ImperialismThe exploitation of colonial resources.docxmccormicknadine86
Option 1: Imperialism
The exploitation of colonial resources and indigenous labor was one of the key elements in the success of imperialism. Such exploitation was a result of the prevalent ethnocentrism of the time and was justified by the unscientific concept of social Darwinism, which praised the characteristics of white Europeans and inaccurately ascribed negative characteristics to indigenous peoples. A famous poem of the time by Rudyard Kipling, "White Man's Burden," called on imperial powers, and particularly the U.S., at whom the poem was directed, to take up the mission of civilizing these "savage" peoples.
Read the poem at the following link:
Link (website):
White Man's Burden (Links to an external site.)
(Rudyard Kipling)
After reading the poem, address the following in a case study analysis:
Select a specific part of the world (a country), and examine imperialism in that country. What was the relationship between the invading country and the native people? You can select from these examples or choose your own:
Belgium & Africa
Britain & India
Germany & Africa
France & Africa
Apply social Darwinism to this specific case.
Analyze the motivations of the invading country?
How did ethnocentrism manifest in their interactions?
How does Kipling's poem apply to your specific example? You can quote lines for comparison.

The document outlines a code of ethics for engineers, beginning with a preamble stating that engineering impacts public health and safety, so engineers must adhere to high ethical standards of honesty, impartiality, and dedication to public welfare. It then lists the fundamental canons of ethics for engineers, including holding public safety as paramount, performing only in their areas of competence, issuing truthful public statements, and acting as faithful agents to employers/clients. The code further specifies rules of practice for engineers regarding responsibilities to the public, areas of competence, public statements, employer/client obligations, avoiding deception, and professional obligations.

The document discusses the importance of English for engineering students. It states that English is important for academic and career success in engineering as most scientific papers, lectures, and projects are in English. It notes that mastering English is necessary to fully understand engineering concepts and skills. Additionally, upon graduating and entering the engineering field, strong English skills are crucial for communicating and collaborating with colleagues from around the world, as English is often used as the working language in engineering.

Option 1 ImperialismThe exploitation of colonial resources.docxmccormicknadine86
Option 1: Imperialism
The exploitation of colonial resources and indigenous labor was one of the key elements in the success of imperialism. Such exploitation was a result of the prevalent ethnocentrism of the time and was justified by the unscientific concept of social Darwinism, which praised the characteristics of white Europeans and inaccurately ascribed negative characteristics to indigenous peoples. A famous poem of the time by Rudyard Kipling, "White Man's Burden," called on imperial powers, and particularly the U.S., at whom the poem was directed, to take up the mission of civilizing these "savage" peoples.
Read the poem at the following link:
Link (website):
White Man's Burden (Links to an external site.)
(Rudyard Kipling)
After reading the poem, address the following in a case study analysis:
Select a specific part of the world (a country), and examine imperialism in that country. What was the relationship between the invading country and the native people? You can select from these examples or choose your own:
Belgium & Africa
Britain & India
Germany & Africa
France & Africa
Apply social Darwinism to this specific case.
Analyze the motivations of the invading country?
How did ethnocentrism manifest in their interactions?

In the U.S., people began to quarantine themselves ahead of government action more often than as a result of government mandates. Write a cohesive 1-2 page single-spaced document that answers the following questions.
2a. Reflecting on the profound changes we have all seen in the past year, how does that change your views regarding what might be possible with regard to energy use, carbon reductions, or other major transformations that might be needed to impact the type of climate change Earth has been experiencing.
2b. Reflect on the type of transformations that would be involved to address global warming. Now that you have seen the recent major transformations, does this make you believe that global warming threats can prompt the type of major economic and industrial changes needed to reduce the impacts that have been anticipated with increasing climate changes?

Revisiting the Stanford Prison Experiment: a Lesson in the Power of Situation
~~~~~~~~
BY THE 1970s, psychologists had done a series of studies establishing the social power of groups. They showed, for example, that groups of strangers could persuade people to believe statements that were obviously false. Psychologists had also found that research participants were often willing to obey authority figures even when doing so violated their personal beliefs. The Yale studies by Stanley Milgram in 1963 demonstrated that a majority of ordinary citizens would continually shock an innocent man, even up to near-lethal levels, if commanded to do so by someone acting as an authority. The "authority" figure in this case was merely a high-school biology teacher who wore a lab coat and acted in an official manner. The majority of people shocked their victims over and over again despite increasingly desperate pleas to stop.
In my own work, I wanted to explore the fictional notion from William Golding's Lord of the Flies about the power of anonymity to unleash violent behavior. In one experiment from 1969, female students who were made to feel anonymous and given permission for aggression became significantly more hostile than students with their identities intact. Those and a host of other social-psychological studies were showing that human nature was more pliable than previously imagined and more responsive to situational pressures than we cared to acknowledge. In sum, these studies challenged the sacrosanct view that inner determinants of behavior--personality traits, morality, and religious upbringing--directed good people down righteous paths.
Missing from the body of social-science research at the time was the direct confrontation of good versus evil, of good people pitted against the forces inherent in bad situations. It was evident from everyday life that smart people made dumb decisions when they were engaged in mindless groupthink, as in the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion by the smart guys in President John F. Kennedy's cabinet. It was also clear that smart people surrounding President Richard M. Nixon, like Henry A. Kissinger and Robert S. McNamara, escalated the Vietnam War when they knew, and later admitted, it was not winnable. They were .

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Complementary Bidding in Construction Projects
SITUATION:
Several paving contractors in two southern states participated in
an anticompetitive scheme known as complementary bidding or
bid rigging. Prospective competitors on a particular paving
contract would select a “winning” bidder amongst themselves.
The designated contractor would submit its bid for the project,
while the other contractors would knowingly submit bids having
a higher dollar amount or containing terms the contractors knew
would be unacceptable to the state entity letting the contract.
The scheme would thus create the illusion of a competitive
bidding process while ensuring that a particular paving
contractor ultimately received the contract award.

This comprehensive case requires students to evaluate a static
budget and prepare flexible budgets to meet managerial needs.
Students are required to calculate and analyze variances and
discuss how variances are critical to managerial decision

Scenario: GP is a 400-acre farm on the outskirts of the
Kentucky Bluegrass, specializing in the boarding of broodmares
and their foals. A recent economic downturn in the
thoroughbred industry has led to a decline in breeding
activities, and it has made the boarding business extremely
competitive. To meet the competition, GP planned in 2017 to
entertain clients, advertise more extensively, and absorb
expenses formerly paid by clients such as veterinary and
blacksmith fees.
The budget report for 2017 is presented as an attachment. As
shown, the static income statement budget for the year is based
on an expected 21,900 boarding days at $25 per mare. The
variable expenses per mare per day were budgeted: feed $5,
veterinary fees $3, blacksmith fees $0.25, and supplies
$0.55. All other budgeted expenses were either semifixed or
fixed.
During the year, management decided not to replace a worker
who quit in March, but it did issue a new advertising brochure
and did more entertaining of clients.
Minimum of 700 words examination of the financial statements
and include the following based on the static budget report:
· What was the primary cause(s) of the loss in net income?
· Did management do a good, average, or poor job of
controlling expenses?
· Were management's decisions to stay competitive sound?
· Prepare a flexible budget report for the year.
· Based on the flexible budget report:
· What was the primary cause(s) of the loss in net income?
· Did management do a good, average, or poor job of
controlling expenses?
4. · Were management's decisions to stay competitive sound?
· What course of action do you recommend for the management
