Mark and Jacqueline have been married for 30 years. They have grown children who live in another state. Jacqueline’s mother has moved in with the couple because she has Alzheimer’s disease. Jacqueline is an only child and always promised her mother that she would care for her in her old age. Her mother is unaware of her surroundings and often calls out for her daughter Jackie when Jacqueline is in the room. Jacqueline reassures her mother that she is there to help, but to no avail. Jacqueline is unable to visit her children on holidays because she must attend to her mother’s daily needs. She is reluctant to visit friends or even go out to a movie because of her mother’s care needs or because she is too tired. Even though she has eliminated most leisure activities with Mark, Jacqueline goes to bed at night with many of her caregiving tasks unfinished. She tries to visit with her mother during the day, but her mother rejects any contact with her daughter. Planning for the upcoming holidays seems impossible to Mark, because of his wife’s inability to focus on anything except her mother’s care. Jacqueline has difficulty sleeping at night and is unable to discuss plans even a few days in advance. She is unable to visit friends and is reluctant to have friends visit because of the unpredictable behavior of her mother and her need to attend to the daily care. Reflective Questions 1. How do you think this situation reflects Jacqueline’s sense of role performance? 2. How do you think that Jacqueline may be contributing to her own health? .

MBA 599 – Strategic Management Case Project This capstone course requires each student to construct a detailed and well-thought-out analysis of a business employing all the relevant strategic analysis tools studied in the course. This project will take the full term to complete. It is our sincere hope that you will find this project to be the most rewarding effort in your educational career. Project Overview This course is designed to help you develop strategic skills that can be used in management. The process of strategic planning is an iterative cycle of research and analysis, ending with a series of choices about what will be attempted and how it will be approached. The most tangible output is the strategic planning document. The most important output is the increased understanding that the participants acquire. Accordingly, the assessment of the final project will be heavily dependent on the quality of the strategic thinking inside that polished report. Students that focus on the expeditious completion of the steps may find that they have shortchanged the important and time-consuming exploration and thinking that is necessary to create a quality strategic case. Since not all tools can tell the planner which factors and alternatives are important to consider, the planner should pull in as much diverse information and perspectives as possible. Additionally, you should put yourselves in the competitor’s shoes and consider how the “game” will play out. Your homework and subsequent improvements are intended to become a primary basis for the exploration and questioning that drives your strategic understanding and creative ideas. In addition, it is important to test your strategic thinking and your use of analytical tools in preparation for your final project. Tips for Selecting an Organization As you select an organization for your class project, it is important that you select one that is interesting, possibly useful to you in your career, industry, or interests, and allows you to explore strategic challenges in a meaningful way. If you select the industry in which you currently work, you must address two critical issues: (1) integrating and clearly citing existing information. (You will need to delineate work you’ve contributed as opposed to pre-existing information), and (2) succinctly presenting existing information while adding new insight, analysis, and plans that substantially add to strategy development, implementation, and/or assessment of the organization. An organization or industry you are interested in should give you better access to information although you need to pay careful attention to the points made above. Do not underestimate the degree to which you will need to be an expert in the selected industry and related areas. It is impossible to create a strategy without understanding the terms, technologies, market changes, and so forth in great depth. A.

MBA 640 Final Project Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric Overview: The final project for this course is the creation of an external capital funding proposal. Most businesses face a landscape of uncertainty and a never-ending stream of risks and opportunities. Managers must continually project the likely financial impact of decisions, make recommendations, act on those decisions, determine how to pay for them, and evaluate the costs and effectiveness of what has been done. Many decisions are short-term, routine, and operational. Others are longer-term investment decisions that require substantial new resources, such as developing new services, expanding into new geographic markets, or undertaking business combinations or spin-offs. Each requires managers to forecast, plan, and make decisions based on a thorough understanding of both internal and external factors that can affect a company’s financial success. For the summative assessment in this course, you will bring your finance and economics knowledge to bear by preparing an external capital funding proposal for a major international investment at a publicly traded corporation. In order to secure the support of potential financial backers, your proposal will need to lay out what the proposed investment opportunity is, how it fits within the company’s broader mission and goals, its financial impact, and the amount being requested and why (including alternative funding mechanisms considered). In addition, it will also need to include information on the organization’s context, risk factors, and microeconomic assumptions that could affect the success of the investment. Prompt: Submit a paper that addresses critical element IV, Risks, of the final project. Discuss any risks that might affect the success of the project and how you have planned for those contingencies. Note: The risks (and opportunities) you identify should demonstrate your understanding of the company you selected, the industry, the investment project you are proposing, and your project’s country and timing. Your estimates of financial impacts will be only preliminary; you will most likely revise them in your final submission at the end of Module Nine. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: Section IV Risks: 1. Internal. What are the company’s most significant internal risks and opportunities related to the project? How might they affect your financial estimates and how will you address them? Support your response with specific examples. 2. External. How will you address significant qualitative risks outside the company that might affect project success? Give specific examples. For example, how might culture or politics in the target country affect the proposed investment’s financial success? Natural disasters? How have you planned for these risks? 3. Microeconomic. Assess the microeconomic factors that might affect decisions about the proposed investment. .

Masuben Private equity firm can be very helpful for a company’s growth as its money helps in various restructuring of the company as large amounts of funding are invested in the company . It could be very helpful in developing companies' growth from grass root level. As optimum money is invested the production of goods will be more and retailers will get the product on time. Also as money is invested in advancement of technology the cost of production can be low so the retailers could make some more profit and manufacturers can make the product much quicker. As private equity holders are more concerned about their money they are actively involved in business to maximise the value. As the funding is major the return on investment will be huge which can be very helpful for manufacturers and retailers.(Piloto Sincerre, B., Sampaio, J., Famá, R., & Flores, E. S. 2019) As every coin has two sides, sometimes private equity has its own downside. The biggest threat is to manufacturers as it can lose its ownership. As with private equity, more money is involved in business which leads to loss of a larger share of the business as private equity firms always take the larger majority stake of the business. As a private equity holder becomes actively involved in business, sometimes they overpower the management decision like hiring, business strategy, business decisions and other valuable management responsibilities. The main mission of equity holders is to generate revenue on their investment which might lead to unethical activities as larger money is involved. Also as production is increased there might be more pressure on retailers to sell the item as supply of goods will be more and demand is low.(BACON, N., WRIGHT, M., MEULEMAN, M., & SCHOLES, L. 2012) As larger money is involved the business can grow rapidly across the countries so to conclude private equity can help in growing business more. 2. Maheshwari Private equity refers to capital that is not traded publicly. The acquisition of public manufacturing and retail firms, therefore, refers to privatization. Part of the entire firm is purchased by a high net worth individual or firm that aims at controlling it. This mostly involves buying the shares of the firm. This is mostly done by institutional investors such as pension funds and equity private firms (Chen, et al., 2020). This kind of acquisition has several effects on the firm. Some of these effects are outlined below. a) Huge amounts of funding The process of private equity acquisition provides firms with a lot of capital that can transform their operations if properly budgeted for and utilized. b) Investor Involvement As a result of the huge amounts of money invested by the institutional investors into the firms, they are actively involved in the operations of the firm to ensure maximization of value as opposed to other options of funding which allow for limited involvement by the lenders. c) Higher Retu.

MATH 114 Discussion Board Forum 2 Prompt Please also pay close attention to any additional specifications provided by your professor. Professors often will clarify their expectations regarding the format and presentation of your submission. Topic – Causes of Death in 1980 and 2016 According to the 1980 Census, the United States population was approximately 226,540,000 in 1980. It grew to approximately 323,120,000 at the beginning of 2016. Using Census data for 1980 and estimates derived from mortality data for 2016, we arrive at the population estimates given in the table below: Year Total Population Ages 15–24 Ages 25–44 Ages 45–64 1980 226,540,000 42,475,000 62,707,000 44,497,000 2016 323,120,000 43,500,000 85,150,000 84,300,000 The National Center for Health Statistics published a document entitled “Health, United States, 2015: With Special Feature on Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities” that includes a table listing the leading causes of death in 1980 by age bracket. The CDC further produced a National Vital Statistics Reports that provided similar information for the year 2016. Under the Project Instructions link in Blackboard, you’ll find Discussion Board Forum 2: Data, a spreadsheet showing the leading causes of death in both 1980 and 2016 for these 3 age categories. Each of the first 3 questions has both a computational part and a discussion part. To get full credit for each of the discussion parts, please cite a reference to support your claims. This should not be an excessively difficult task: you can easily find information online for most of the illnesses or other causes listed in the report. All you need to do is provide the website you used (though other resources are also permitted if you prefer to use one of those). 1. Assuming that the population numbers in the above table are relatively accurate, use the Discussion Board Forum 2: Data spreadsheet to compute the deaths per 1000 people for each age group in both 1980 and 2016. Deaths per 1000 people is computed using the formula Deaths per 1000 = (# of deaths) / (total population) Do not round your answer to the nearest whole number, provide at least 2 decimal places (but no more than 4). Give these 6 values (e.g. deaths per 1000 people for ages 15–24 in 1980) and then cite a reference to discuss what might account for the changes between the deaths per 1000 in 1 of these 3 age categories between 1980 and 2016. Your discussion should be at least 40 words. 2. Besides the changes in the overall death rate in the past 3 decades, the leading causes of death vary somewhat between 1980 and 2016. Choose 1 of the 3 age ranges and select 1 cause of death from the Discussion Board Forum 2: Data spreadsheet that strikes you as noteworthy and that appears in both the 1980 and 2016 lists. For the cause of death that you selected, compute the number of deaths per 1000 in both 1980 and 2016 for your chosen age group. Do not round your answer to the nearest whole number,.

China Li Wang Yue You School of Economics and Management Beihang University Beijing, P. R. China Abstract The authenticity of human resource information has become an important factor that affects the cost and efficiency of human resource management. With the rapid development of mobile devices and Internet technology, various human resource risks caused by information asymmetry constantly bring economic loss, and even a fatal blow, to enterprises. Based on Blockchain(BC), this paper aims to combine traditional encryption technology with Internet- distributed technology, to establish a human resource information management model that reduces the risk of authenticity of human resource information. This model aims to solve the lack of discrimination of the authenticity of human resource information, and to provide authentic and effective decision support information to the human resource management of an organization. The operation method, such as Bitcoin, is used to certify the human resource documentations, as well as to bind the information and the documentation. Furthermore, human resource information is recorded in an accounting book based on BC technology; thus, modifying and validating may be difficult in the entire net work. Consensus mechanism, smart contract, accounting, and payment functions of BC can provide the basic support for human resource information management. Moreover, decentralization of the protection mechanism can be achieved to achieve low cost and high efficiency of information transfer, and to ensure a.

Marketing Excellence Nike Nike hit the ground running in 1962. Originally known as Blue Ribbon Sports, the company focused on providing high-quality running shoes designed for athletes by athletes. Founder Philip Knight believed high-tech shoes for runners could be manufactured at competitive prices if imported from abroad. Nike’s commitment to designing innovative footwear for serious athletes helped build a cult following among U.S. consumers. Nike believed in a “pyramid of influence” where the preferences of a small percentage of top athletes influenced the product and brand choices of others. Nike’s marketing campaigns have always featured accomplished athletes. For example, runner Steve Prefontaine, the company’s first spokesperson, had an irreverent attitude that matched Nike’s spirit. In 1985, Nike signed up then-rookie guard Michael Jordan as a spokesperson. Jordan was still an up-and-comer, but he personified superior performance. Nike’s bet paid off—the Air Jordan line of basketball shoes flew off the shelves and revenues hit more than $100 million in the first year alone. As one reporter stated, “Few marketers have so reliably been able to identify and sign athletes who transcend their sports to such great effect.” In 1988, Nike aired the first ads in its $20 million “Just Do It” ad campaign. The campaign, which ultimately featured 12 TV spots in all, subtly challenged a generation of athletic enthusiasts to chase their goals. It was a natural manifestation of Nike’s attitude of self-empowerment through sports. As Nike began expanding overseas, the company learned that its U.S.-style ads were seen as too aggressive in Europe, Asia, and South America. Nike realized it had to “authenticate” its brand in other countries, so it focused on soccer (called football outside the United States) and became active as a sponsor of youth leagues, local clubs, and national teams. However, for Nike to build authenticity among the soccer audience, consumers had to see professional athletes using its product, especially athletes who won. Nike’s big break came in 1994 when the Brazilian team (the only national team for which Nike had any real sponsorship) won the World Cup. That victory transformed Nike’s international image from a sneaker company into a brand that represented emotion, allegiance, and identification. Nike’s new alliance with soccer helped propel the brand’s growth internationally. In 2003, overseas revenues surpassed U.S. revenues for the first time, and in 2007, Nike acquired Umbro, a British maker of soccer-related footwear, apparel, and equipment. The acquisition made Nike the sole supplier to more than 100 professional soccer teams around the world and boosted Nike’s international presence and authenticity in soccer. The company sold Umbro in 2012 for $225 million. In recent years, Nike’s international efforts have been focused on emerging markets. During the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Nike honed in on China and deve.

Mario Heard Philosophical Essay Outline I. Intro The essay takes a different approach as it involves the evaluation of the following philosophical Puzzle: “If a tree falls in the forest and there's no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?” (1) How is this philosophical puzzle an epistemological problem? And (2) how would John Locke answer it? The aim of the essay will be to explore how the questions create epistemological issues, mainly focusing on the subjective elements of personal experience. In this case, it is the sound of the tree falling. The puzzle will help to create a discussion on the human limit; that people claim to be have acquainted with an aspect solely based on sensory experienced. Finally, John Locke’s say the father of empiricism; will be instrumental to create an explanation of the situation at hand and create a logical explanation. II. Theory of Empiricism Explains John Locke’s Theory of empiricism. What makes a claim of truth legitimate? This is the question that the philosopher John Locke, tried to explain through the theory of empiricism. In line with discussing what is considered to be the central in the development of knowledge. Explained with the simple concept that knowledge comes from experience. III. The Philosophical Puzzle fitting in epistemology Make a connection between epistemology with the philosophical puzzle. Form focusing of the theory of empiricism by John Locke one aspect is clear, is that Knowledge comes from experience. In this case, the puzzle looks at a tree falling in the forest and no one is around to hear it. The tree falling is the action hearing the fall is the experience. Therefore, since no one experience the fall no one will have the knowledge of the tree falling. The puzzle is fitting in John Locke’s Theory as no one will be there to gain the sensory experience of hearing the tree to make the sound. Maybe it fell and it landed on conclusion surface and did not make sound or it fell on a hard ground and it made a sound. The fact remains that no one can prove that. IV. Weaknesses in Empiricism Showing that knowledge is not only based on experience. The tree fell and no one was there to experience the sound that or experience a sound that was not made. At first one will automatically and normally say that the tree made a sound, mostly because of experience when something falls it usually makes a sound; and if for the first time that does not happen then that will be considered as new knowledge. Therefore, the previous experience of stimuli and reaction; falling and making sounds; gives us the knowledge that the tree made a sound whether they were not there or not. V. Conclusion Empiricism is accurate to some extent, but it is not fault proof. It might be accurate in various aspects in life; like feeling. When you feel love or hatred or malice, any feeling that someone gives you is accurate mainly because you need experience to get this knowledge. But the physical experiences,.
