This assignment gives you the opportunity to use industry-standard methodologies for analyzing a business situation, initiating a project, and determining various aspects of feasibility of an IT project. This assignment specifically addresses the following course outcomes to enable you to:
· plan, build, and maintain systems that meet organizational strategic goals by demonstrating the use of enterprise architecture and applying enterprise governance principles and practices
· effectively communicate with stakeholders to determine, manage, and document business requirements throughout the SDLC
Assignment
The results of your systems analysis and design work in this class will be documented in a Final System Report. The purpose of the Report is to inform management of your system proposal and gain approval to proceed with the project. The Report will be developed and submitted in stages, which will be compiled at the end of class into the Final System Report. Review the outline of the Final System Report in the Stage 4 Assignment description. Note that it contains the analysis of the problem(s) and requirements, and proposes what kind of a system solution is needed. It does not propose a specific solution, but it does recommend why and how the organization should acquire the solution.
The first step in the analysis process is to create a Preliminary Investigation Report (PIR). The PIR documents the system planning phase of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). During the planning phase, the opportunities presented or problem(s) to be solved with an information technology system are identified, investigation into the current situation occurs, and various feasibility aspects of implementing a system are analyzed. This results in a recommendation for further action with estimated costs and schedule, and a list of benefits. Once it is completed and approved, the PIR becomes the major source document for use to begin the systems analysis phase.
To start, read the case study carefully. The case study tells you that the executives at Precision Electronics Parts, Inc., have identified a need to replace the current customer billing and payment system and re-engineer the associated processes. As you review the case study, list the most important relevant business problems and identify the information presented that you will need to complete the sections of the Preliminary Investigation Report shown below. All of the information you need to complete the projects in this class is not provided in the case study. In the discussion area of the classroom, there is a discussion titled "Case Study Interview Questions" where you can pose questions about the case study, as if you were interviewing the people in the case study.
This document provides guidelines for the final project report format for the COSC 4P76 Machine Learning course. The report should be concise and provide all important information to evaluate the project, while not exceeding 11 single-spaced pages. It should include sections on introducing the problem and approach, formally defining the problem, describing the learning system and algorithm, providing experimental results and analysis, and concluding remarks. The guidelines provide details on what should be included in each section.

Formal lab report instructions for the Biology 110 laboratory
Overall assignment:
For Biology 110 you will be submitting one formal lab report for grading this semester. This lab’s formal report must be written in the 3rd person and in the past tense. Their length will vary depending on how concise each writer is, but the paper should be approximately 5 to 9 pages in length, including graphs. The pages are to have 1 inch margins, be double spaced, typed in Ariel or Times Roman 12 pt. and include supporting data (e.g., data tables, graphs, pictures or any other supporting material you wish to include) Each of the section headings must be labeled in your lab report. Skip lines between each section.
Sections
Title:
The title should describe the experiment you are conducting in some detail. You are not allowed to use the title you find in your laboratory manual. The title will be placed on a separate page with your name and the names of your lab mates, date, and course and lab section.
Abstract
The report abstract is a short summary of the report. It should be no more than one paragraph (100-200 words) and should include about one or two sentences on each of the following main points:
· Purpose of the experiment
· Key results
· Major points of discussion
· Main conclusions
It helps to complete the other sections of the report before writing the abstract, as these four main points can be drawn from them.
Introduction
This section should provide sufficient background information to the lab that will allow the reader to understand some of the principles you are investigating. This material can come from what you developed in your pre-lab write-up. It should include a specific statement of the question or problem under investigation, and statements about other goals of the laboratory exercise.
Why is this question important? How does this question relate to the "real world"?
This statement should be two paragraphs in length so you need to do a literature search on the topic(s) and incorporate this information into your introduction. Be certain to cite your sources. Clearly state the purpose of the experiment at the end of the section.
HYPOTHESIS:
The hypothesis section should contain a series of statements of what is to be expected to be observed during the experiment based on the background information you provided in the introduction. These statements should predict the outcome of each experiment or test based on solid scientific principles that you read from your text, the internet or your lab manual. Again, if the prelab was written properly, this section will come from the pre-lab write-up that you worked on prior to the lab. Use the “if…then….because” format.
In other words the hypothesis should convey what you think will happen during the investigation. It differs from a guess in that it is based upon prior knowledge or evidence. It should be supported by previously developed evidence and/or concepts.

Case Study II - The Press Conference as Critical Incident Ho.docxDaliaCulbertson719
Case Study II - The Press Conference as Critical Incident
However skillful we are with framing, at times we are apt to go “off message.” That is, under stress and in times of crisis, we may fail to communicate our best thoughts, self-image or regard for others. Leaders are especially vulnerable to go “off message” when meeting the press. Reporters are seeking a story of dramatic interest for the public. If a leader is not properly prepared for such moments, the leader’s failure may become “the story.” Press encounters require delicate framing and human sensitivity. As such, they provide excellent opportunities to learn about the art of framing in highly pressurized situations.
To begin your case study, select a televised press conference that involves a business, charity or political leader. The kind of conference to select is illustrated by Fairhurst’s (pp. 2-14) discussion of Robert E. Murray’s response to a Utah mine crisis. Consider as well her discussion of Hillary Clinton’s Pakistan encounter (pp. 127-131). View the selected conference and, where possible, obtain a transcript. Write a 5-7 page evaluation on how well the leader communicated his or her message, image and relationship to an audience.
Use these questions to guide your analysis:
How well does the leader enact, or fail to enact, Fairhurst’s “Rules of Reality Construction?”
In your view, does the leader marshal the best “Cultural Discourses” for his or her cause?
Does the leader seem well “primed” for the occasion?
How well does the leader use language forms discussed by Fairhurst (p.93)?
One cannot stay on message, if one lacks a message. Does the leader give evidence of having a vision and mission? Does he or she repeat the “master frame” sufficiently?
Does the leader effectively maintain emotional regulation?
Does the leader create audience rapport?
Requirements:
In a two to three paragraph introduction, provide the context for the press conference including:
Sponsoring organization
Speaker with a brief introduction if possible
Intended audience
Purpose and intent of message
A link to press conference video and possible transcript should be included in the appendix.
In 4 to 6 pages, analysis the communication strategies based on synthesis of the course readings and other resources or references. Use the guiding questions as possible approaches to the analysis.
Discuss how well the leader communicated the message
Discuss how well the leader constructed an image
Discuss how well the leader created and relationship to an audience.
In a 2 to 3 paragraph conclusion, reflect on what you have taken away from this analysis to apply in your communication strategies during a critical incident.
The case study should include the following:
APA Formatting including heading and subheadings.
Graduate level writing free from grammar and mechanical errors.
Citations from readings or other relevant resources to support information presented.
The document should make best.

Case of Anna OOne of the very first cases that caught Freud’s atte.docxDaliaCulbertson719
Case of Anna O
One of the very first cases that caught Freud’s attention when he was starting to develop his psychoanalytic theory was that of Anna O, a patient of fellow psychiatrist Josef Breuer. Although Freud did not directly treat her, he did thoroughly analyze her case as he was fascinated by the fact that her hysteria was “cured” by Breuer. It is her case that he believes was the beginning of the psychoanalytic approach.
Through your analysis of this case, you will not only look deeper into Freud’s psychoanalytic theory but also see how Jung’s neo-psychoanalytic theory compares and contrasts with Freud’s theory.
Review the following:
The Case of Anna O.
One of the first cases that inspired Freud in the development of what would eventually become the Psychoanalytic Theory was the case of Anna O. Anna O. was actually a patient of one of Freud’s colleagues Josef Breuer. Using Breuer’s case notes, Freud was able to analyze the key facts of Anna O’s case.
Anna O. first developed her symptoms while she was taking care of her very ill father with whom she was extremely close. Some of her initial symptoms were loss of appetite to the extent of not eating, weakness, anemia, and development a severe nervous cough. Eventually she developed a severe optic headache and lost the ability to move her head, which then progressed into paralysis of both arms. Her symptoms were not solely physical as she would vacillate between a normal, mental state and a manic-type state in which she would become extremely agitated. There was even a notation of a time for which she hallucinated that the ribbons in her hair were snakes.
Toward the end of her father’s life she stopped speaking her native language of German and instead only spoke in English. A little over a year after she began taking care of her father he passed away. After his passing her symptoms grew to affect her vision, a loss of ability to focus her attention, more extreme hallucinations, and a number of suicidal attempts (Hurst, 1982).
Both Freud and Jung would acknowledge that unconscious processes are at work in this woman's problems. However, they would come to different conclusions about the origin of these problems and the method by which she should be treated.
Research Freud’s and Jung’s theories of personality using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following:
Compare and contrast Freud's view of the unconscious with Jung's view and apply this case example in your explanations.
On what specific points would they agree and disagree regarding the purpose and manifestation of the unconscious in the case of Anna?
How might they each approach the treatment of Anna? What might be those specific interventions? How might Anna experience these interventions considering her history?
Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFir.

Case Incident 8.2
The Vacation Request
Tom Blair has a week’s vacation coming and really wants to take it the third week in
May, which is the height of the bass fishing season. The only problem is that two of
the other five members of his department have already requested and received
approval from their boss, Luther Jones, to take off that same week. Afraid that Luther
would not approve his request, Tom decided to forward his request directly to Harry
Jensen, who is Luther’s boss and who is rather friendly to Tom (Tom has taken Harry
fishing on several occasions). Not realizing that Luther has not seen the request,
Harry approves it. Several weeks pass before Luther finds out, by accident, that Tom
has been approved to go on vacation the third week of May.
The thing that really bugs Luther is that this is only one of many instances in which
his subordinates have gone directly to Harry and gotten permission to do something.Just last week, in fact, he overheard a conversation in the washroom to the effect that,
“If you want anything approved, don’t waste time with Luther; go directly to Harry.”
Questions
1. What should Harry have done?
2. Who is at fault, Harry or Tom?
3. What if Luther confronts Harry with the problem and he simply brushes it off by
saying he is really only helping?

Case AssignmentBritish citizen Michael Woodford was a superstar ex.docxDaliaCulbertson719
Case Assignment
British citizen Michael Woodford was a superstar executive for Japanese manufacturer Olympus, as he achieved tremendous success heading up the company’s European division. He then became one of the very few Western executives to become a CEO of a Japanese corporation when he was named CEO of Olympus. But his tenure as CEO was to be very brief in one of the most extreme cases of culture class ever seen in recent corporate history. Woodford survived only six months as CEO after being embroiled in an ethics dispute with the chair of the Olympus corporate board.
Before starting this case, carefully review the background materials and pay close attention to cultural differences in leadership across cultures, including the differences between Eastern and Western cultures and the concepts of power distance and individualism/collectivism. Also, review some of the concepts from previous modules such as sources of power and power tactics. Then do some research on Michael Woodford and his stint at Olympus. Here are some articles to get you started:
Rowley, A. (2012, Jan 10). Olympus saga: Lessons in corporate reform.
The Business Times
[Proquest]
Tabuchi, H. (2011, Oct 15). In a culture clash, Olympus ousts its British chief.
New York Times
[Proquest]
Interview: Michael Woodford describes his fall from Olympus. (2011).
Asiamoney
[Proquest]
When you are finished with your research, write a 4- to 5-page paper addressing the following questions:
As a British CEO of a Japanese company, how much power do you think he actually had? What were his sources of power? Refer to concepts from Module 1 regarding power sources as part of your answer in addition to concepts from Module 4.
What role do you think differences in British and Japanese cultural values had in Woodford’s difficulties at Olympus? Refer to specific cultural dimensions such as power distance and individualism/collectivism and make sure to cite at least two of the readings from the background materials page for your answer.
Given the cultural differences, what negotiation tactics and leadership practices should Woodford have taken in order to avoid the conflicts that he faced? Make sure to cite concepts from the background materials in your answer including Sadri (2013) and Chapter 11 from Comfort and Franklin (2014).
Assignment Expectations
Follow the assignment instructions closely and follow all steps listed in the instructions.
Stay focused on the precise assignment questions; don’t go off on tangents or devote a lot of space to summarizing general background materials.
Make sure to cite readings from the background materials page. Rely primarily on the required background readings as your sources of information.

Case AssignmentAll organizations have internal politics. However, .docxDaliaCulbertson719
Case Assignment
All organizations have internal politics. However, most organizations keep their political battles private and it is rare that the public will know the details about political intrigue within the major corporations. However, Hewlett-Packard (HP) is rare in that its political battles were waged publicly. HP will make for an ideal case study both because of the intense political behavior occurring at the top and because many articles have been written about these political battles.
HP has been through five CEOs since 2005, and each change of CEO has been controversial. The drama started in 2005 when then CEO Carly Fiorina was under attack from several members of HP’s Board of Directors. Some board members even took the dispute public by leaking information to the press. Fiorina fought back by investigating the leaks, but ultimately lost the battle and was ousted as CEO. Her replacement, Patricia Dunn, continued to investigate leaks by the board through the use of private investigators. Even more controversy emerged when it was discovered that the investigators used the method of “pretexting” in order to obtain phone records of board members.
For this assignment, make sure to first carefully review the background materials regarding the causes of political behavior, types of political behavior, and the ethics of political behavior. Examples of the causes of political behavior include competition for resources, ambiguous organizational goals, lack of trust, and performance factors. Examples of types of political behavior include blaming others, selectively distributing information, managing impressions, and forming coalitions. Regarding ethics, consider the three main factors:
Does the political action violate individual rights?
Does it improve the welfare of those involved?
Does it increase distributive justice?
Review the background materials and do some research on the political dramas at HP. There is a lot written about HP’s many dramas over the years; here are some articles to get you started:
Veverka, M. (2011). The soap opera at HP continues.
Barron's, 91
(39), 25.
Granelli, J. S. (2006, Sep 20). Lockyer probe of HP spying reaches to '05; sources say the inquiry goes back to the ouster of CEO Carly Fiorina, a possible victim.

Kessler, M. (2006, Sep 08). Controversial HP probe started under Fiorina; stock falls as board continues public feud.
USA Today

Once you have finished reviewing the background materials and have completed your research on HP’s internal politics, write a 4- to 5-page paper addressing the following issues:
What individual and organizational factors of HP and its senior leaders led to the intense political behavior? Refer to the background readings in your answer, and in particular, pages 370–372 of the Nair textbook in your answer.

The Logic of Collective Action
Given that the costs to consumers are so high for each job saved,why do people tol-
erate tariffs and quotas? Ignorance is certainly the case for some goods,but for some
tariffs and quotas,the costs have been relatively well publicized.For example,many
people are aware that quotas on sugar imports cost each man,woman,and child in
the United States between $5 and $10 per year.The costs are in the form of higher
prices on candy bars,soft drinks,and other products containing sugar.Few of us work
in the sugar industry,so the argument that our jobs depend on it is weak at best.
In a surprising way, however, we probably permit our tariffs and quotas
because of a version of the jobs argument.The economist Mancur Olson studied
this problem and similar ones and noticed two important points about tariffs and
quotas.First,the costs of the policy are spread over a great many people.Second,
the benefits are concentrated.For example,we all pay a little more for candy bars
and soft drinks,but a few sugar producers reap large benefits from our restrictions
on sugar imports.Olson found that in cases such as this,there is an asymmetry in
the incentives to support and to oppose the policy.With trade protection,the ben-
efits are concentrated in a single industry and,consequently,it pays for the indus-
try to commit resources to obtaining or maintaining its protection.The industry
will hire lobbyists and perhaps participate directly in the political process through
running candidates or supporting friendly candidates. If people in the industry
think their entire livelihood depends on their ability to limit foreign competition,
they have a very large incentive to become involved in setting po.

This assignment gives you the opportunity to use industry-standard methodologies for analyzing a business situation, initiating a project, and determining various aspects of feasibility of an IT project. This assignment specifically addresses the following course outcomes to enable you to:
· plan, build, and maintain systems that meet organizational strategic goals by demonstrating the use of enterprise architecture and applying enterprise governance principles and practices
· effectively communicate with stakeholders to determine, manage, and document business requirements throughout the SDLC
Assignment
The results of your systems analysis and design work in this class will be documented in a Final System Report. The purpose of the Report is to inform management of your system proposal and gain approval to proceed with the project. The Report will be developed and submitted in stages, which will be compiled at the end of class into the Final System Report. Review the outline of the Final System Report in the Stage 4 Assignment description. Note that it contains the analysis of the problem(s) and requirements, and proposes what kind of a system solution is needed. It does not propose a specific solution, but it does recommend why and how the organization should acquire the solution.
The first step in the analysis process is to create a Preliminary Investigation Report (PIR). The PIR documents the system planning phase of the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). During the planning phase, the opportunities presented or problem(s) to be solved with an information technology system are identified, investigation into the current situation occurs, and various feasibility aspects of implementing a system are analyzed. This results in a recommendation for further action with estimated costs and schedule, and a list of benefits. Once it is completed and approved, the PIR becomes the major source document for use to begin the systems analysis phase.
To start, read the case study carefully. The case study tells you that the executives at Precision Electronics Parts, Inc., have identified a need to replace the current customer billing and payment system and re-engineer the associated processes. As you review the case study, list the most important relevant business problems and identify the information presented that you will need to complete the sections of the Preliminary Investigation Report shown below. All of the information you need to complete the projects in this class is not provided in the case study. In the discussion area of the classroom, there is a discussion titled "Case Study Interview Questions" where you can pose questions about the case study, as if you were interviewing the people in the case study.
This document provides guidelines for the final project report format for the COSC 4P76 Machine Learning course. The report should be concise and provide all important information to evaluate the project, while not exceeding 11 single-spaced pages. It should include sections on introducing the problem and approach, formally defining the problem, describing the learning system and algorithm, providing experimental results and analysis, and concluding remarks. The guidelines provide details on what should be included in each section.

Formal lab report instructions for the Biology 110 laboratory
Overall assignment:
For Biology 110 you will be submitting one formal lab report for grading this semester. This lab’s formal report must be written in the 3rd person and in the past tense. Their length will vary depending on how concise each writer is, but the paper should be approximately 5 to 9 pages in length, including graphs. The pages are to have 1 inch margins, be double spaced, typed in Ariel or Times Roman 12 pt. and include supporting data (e.g., data tables, graphs, pictures or any other supporting material you wish to include) Each of the section headings must be labeled in your lab report. Skip lines between each section.
Sections
Title:
The title should describe the experiment you are conducting in some detail. You are not allowed to use the title you find in your laboratory manual. The title will be placed on a separate page with your name and the names of your lab mates, date, and course and lab section.
Abstract
The report abstract is a short summary of the report. It should be no more than one paragraph (100-200 words) and should include about one or two sentences on each of the following main points:
· Purpose of the experiment
· Key results
· Major points of discussion
· Main conclusions
It helps to complete the other sections of the report before writing the abstract, as these four main points can be drawn from them.
Introduction
This section should provide sufficient background information to the lab that will allow the reader to understand some of the principles you are investigating. This material can come from what you developed in your pre-lab write-up. It should include a specific statement of the question or problem under investigation, and statements about other goals of the laboratory exercise.
Why is this question important? How does this question relate to the "real world"?
This statement should be two paragraphs in length so you need to do a literature search on the topic(s) and incorporate this information into your introduction. Be certain to cite your sources. Clearly state the purpose of the experiment at the end of the section.
HYPOTHESIS:
The hypothesis section should contain a series of statements of what is to be expected to be observed during the experiment based on the background information you provided in the introduction. These statements should predict the outcome of each experiment or test based on solid scientific principles that you read from your text, the internet or your lab manual. Again, if the prelab was written properly, this section will come from the pre-lab write-up that you worked on prior to the lab. Use the “if…then….because” format.
In other words the hypothesis should convey what you think will happen during the investigation. It differs from a guess in that it is based upon prior knowledge or evidence. It should be supported by previously developed evidence and/or concepts.

Case Study II - The Press Conference as Critical Incident Ho.docxDaliaCulbertson719
Case Study II - The Press Conference as Critical Incident
However skillful we are with framing, at times we are apt to go “off message.” That is, under stress and in times of crisis, we may fail to communicate our best thoughts, self-image or regard for others. Leaders are especially vulnerable to go “off message” when meeting the press. Reporters are seeking a story of dramatic interest for the public. If a leader is not properly prepared for such moments, the leader’s failure may become “the story.” Press encounters require delicate framing and human sensitivity. As such, they provide excellent opportunities to learn about the art of framing in highly pressurized situations.
To begin your case study, select a televised press conference that involves a business, charity or political leader. The kind of conference to select is illustrated by Fairhurst’s (pp. 2-14) discussion of Robert E. Murray’s response to a Utah mine crisis. Consider as well her discussion of Hillary Clinton’s Pakistan encounter (pp. 127-131). View the selected conference and, where possible, obtain a transcript. Write a 5-7 page evaluation on how well the leader communicated his or her message, image and relationship to an audience.
Use these questions to guide your analysis:
How well does the leader enact, or fail to enact, Fairhurst’s “Rules of Reality Construction?”
In your view, does the leader marshal the best “Cultural Discourses” for his or her cause?
Does the leader seem well “primed” for the occasion?
How well does the leader use language forms discussed by Fairhurst (p.93)?
One cannot stay on message, if one lacks a message. Does the leader give evidence of having a vision and mission? Does he or she repeat the “master frame” sufficiently?
Does the leader effectively maintain emotional regulation?
Does the leader create audience rapport?
Requirements:
In a two to three paragraph introduction, provide the context for the press conference including:
Sponsoring organization
Speaker with a brief introduction if possible
Intended audience
Purpose and intent of message
A link to press conference video and possible transcript should be included in the appendix.
In 4 to 6 pages, analysis the communication strategies based on synthesis of the course readings and other resources or references. Use the guiding questions as possible approaches to the analysis.
Discuss how well the leader communicated the message
Discuss how well the leader constructed an image
Discuss how well the leader created and relationship to an audience.
In a 2 to 3 paragraph conclusion, reflect on what you have taken away from this analysis to apply in your communication strategies during a critical incident.
The case study should include the following:
APA Formatting including heading and subheadings.
Graduate level writing free from grammar and mechanical errors.
Citations from readings or other relevant resources to support information presented.
The document should make best.

Case of Anna OOne of the very first cases that caught Freud’s atte.docxDaliaCulbertson719
Case of Anna O
One of the very first cases that caught Freud’s attention when he was starting to develop his psychoanalytic theory was that of Anna O, a patient of fellow psychiatrist Josef Breuer. Although Freud did not directly treat her, he did thoroughly analyze her case as he was fascinated by the fact that her hysteria was “cured” by Breuer. It is her case that he believes was the beginning of the psychoanalytic approach.
Through your analysis of this case, you will not only look deeper into Freud’s psychoanalytic theory but also see how Jung’s neo-psychoanalytic theory compares and contrasts with Freud’s theory.
Review the following:
The Case of Anna O.
One of the first cases that inspired Freud in the development of what would eventually become the Psychoanalytic Theory was the case of Anna O. Anna O. was actually a patient of one of Freud’s colleagues Josef Breuer. Using Breuer’s case notes, Freud was able to analyze the key facts of Anna O’s case.
Anna O. first developed her symptoms while she was taking care of her very ill father with whom she was extremely close. Some of her initial symptoms were loss of appetite to the extent of not eating, weakness, anemia, and development a severe nervous cough. Eventually she developed a severe optic headache and lost the ability to move her head, which then progressed into paralysis of both arms. Her symptoms were not solely physical as she would vacillate between a normal, mental state and a manic-type state in which she would become extremely agitated. There was even a notation of a time for which she hallucinated that the ribbons in her hair were snakes.
Toward the end of her father’s life she stopped speaking her native language of German and instead only spoke in English. A little over a year after she began taking care of her father he passed away. After his passing her symptoms grew to affect her vision, a loss of ability to focus her attention, more extreme hallucinations, and a number of suicidal attempts (Hurst, 1982).
Both Freud and Jung would acknowledge that unconscious processes are at work in this woman's problems. However, they would come to different conclusions about the origin of these problems and the method by which she should be treated.
Research Freud’s and Jung’s theories of personality using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following:
Compare and contrast Freud's view of the unconscious with Jung's view and apply this case example in your explanations.
On what specific points would they agree and disagree regarding the purpose and manifestation of the unconscious in the case of Anna?
How might they each approach the treatment of Anna? What might be those specific interventions? How might Anna experience these interventions considering her history?

Case Incident 8.2
The Vacation Request
Tom Blair has a week’s vacation coming and really wants to take it the third week in
May, which is the height of the bass fishing season. The only problem is that two of
the other five members of his department have already requested and received
approval from their boss, Luther Jones, to take off that same week. Afraid that Luther
would not approve his request, Tom decided to forward his request directly to Harry
Jensen, who is Luther’s boss and who is rather friendly to Tom (Tom has taken Harry
fishing on several occasions). Not realizing that Luther has not seen the request,
Harry approves it. Several weeks pass before Luther finds out, by accident, that Tom
has been approved to go on vacation the third week of May.
The thing that really bugs Luther is that this is only one of many instances in which
his subordinates have gone directly to Harry and gotten permission to do something.Just last week, in fact, he overheard a conversation in the washroom to the effect that,
“If you want anything approved, don’t waste time with Luther; go directly to Harry.”
Questions
1. What should Harry have done?
2. Who is at fault, Harry or Tom?
3. What if Luther confronts Harry with the problem and he simply brushes it off by
saying he is really only helping?

Case AssignmentBritish citizen Michael Woodford was a superstar ex.docxDaliaCulbertson719
Case Assignment
British citizen Michael Woodford was a superstar executive for Japanese manufacturer Olympus, as he achieved tremendous success heading up the company’s European division. He then became one of the very few Western executives to become a CEO of a Japanese corporation when he was named CEO of Olympus. But his tenure as CEO was to be very brief in one of the most extreme cases of culture class ever seen in recent corporate history. Woodford survived only six months as CEO after being embroiled in an ethics dispute with the chair of the Olympus corporate board.
Before starting this case, carefully review the background materials and pay close attention to cultural differences in leadership across cultures, including the differences between Eastern and Western cultures and the concepts of power distance and individualism/collectivism. Also, review some of the concepts from previous modules such as sources of power and power tactics. Then do some research on Michael Woodford and his stint at Olympus. Here are some articles to get you started:
Rowley, A. (2012, Jan 10). Olympus saga: Lessons in corporate reform.
The Business Times
[Proquest]
Tabuchi, H. (2011, Oct 15). In a culture clash, Olympus ousts its British chief.
New York Times
[Proquest]
Interview: Michael Woodford describes his fall from Olympus. (2011).
Asiamoney
[Proquest]
When you are finished with your research, write a 4- to 5-page paper addressing the following questions:
As a British CEO of a Japanese company, how much power do you think he actually had? What were his sources of power? Refer to concepts from Module 1 regarding power sources as part of your answer in addition to concepts from Module 4.
What role do you think differences in British and Japanese cultural values had in Woodford’s difficulties at Olympus? Refer to specific cultural dimensions such as power distance and individualism/collectivism and make sure to cite at least two of the readings from the background materials page for your answer.
Given the cultural differences, what negotiation tactics and leadership practices should Woodford have taken in order to avoid the conflicts that he faced? Make sure to cite concepts from the background materials in your answer including Sadri (2013) and Chapter 11 from Comfort and Franklin (2014).
Assignment Expectations
Follow the assignment instructions closely and follow all steps listed in the instructions.
Stay focused on the precise assignment questions; don’t go off on tangents or devote a lot of space to summarizing general background materials.
Make sure to cite readings from the background materials page. Rely primarily on the required background readings as your sources of information.
Include both a bibliography and in-text citations. See the

Case AssignmentAll organizations have internal politics. However, .docxDaliaCulbertson719
Case Assignment
All organizations have internal politics. However, most organizations keep their political battles private and it is rare that the public will know the details about political intrigue within the major corporations. However, Hewlett-Packard (HP) is rare in that its political battles were waged publicly. HP will make for an ideal case study both because of the intense political behavior occurring at the top and because many articles have been written about these political battles.
HP has been through five CEOs since 2005, and each change of CEO has been controversial. The drama started in 2005 when then CEO Carly Fiorina was under attack from several members of HP’s Board of Directors. Some board members even took the dispute public by leaking information to the press. Fiorina fought back by investigating the leaks, but ultimately lost the battle and was ousted as CEO. Her replacement, Patricia Dunn, continued to investigate leaks by the board through the use of private investigators. Even more controversy emerged when it was discovered that the investigators used the method of “pretexting” in order to obtain phone records of board members.
For this assignment, make sure to first carefully review the background materials regarding the causes of political behavior, types of political behavior, and the ethics of political behavior. Examples of the causes of political behavior include competition for resources, ambiguous organizational goals, lack of trust, and performance factors. Examples of types of political behavior include blaming others, selectively distributing information, managing impressions, and forming coalitions. Regarding ethics, consider the three main factors:
Does the political action violate individual rights?
Does it improve the welfare of those involved?
Does it increase distributive justice?
Review the background materials and do some research on the political dramas at HP. There is a lot written about HP’s many dramas over the years; here are some articles to get you started:
Veverka, M. (2011). The soap opera at HP continues.
Barron's, 91
(39), 25.
Granelli, J. S. (2006, Sep 20). Lockyer probe of HP spying reaches to '05; sources say the inquiry goes back to the ouster of CEO Carly Fiorina, a possible victim.

Kessler, M. (2006, Sep 08). Controversial HP probe started under Fiorina; stock falls as board continues public feud.
USA Today

Pearlstein, S. (2011, Sep 25). How HP, silicon valley's darling, became a soap opera.

Once you have finished reviewing the background materials and have completed your research on HP’s internal politics, write a 4- to 5-page paper addressing the following issues:
What individual and organizational factors of HP and its senior leaders led to the intense political behavior? Refer to the background readings in your answer, and in particular, pages 370–372 of the Nair textbook in your answer.

The Logic of Collective Action
Given that the costs to consumers are so high for each job saved,why do people tol-
erate tariffs and quotas? Ignorance is certainly the case for some goods,but for some
tariffs and quotas,the costs have been relatively well publicized.For example,many
people are aware that quotas on sugar imports cost each man,woman,and child in
the United States between $5 and $10 per year.The costs are in the form of higher
prices on candy bars,soft drinks,and other products containing sugar.Few of us work
in the sugar industry,so the argument that our jobs depend on it is weak at best.
In a surprising way, however, we probably permit our tariffs and quotas
because of a version of the jobs argument.The economist Mancur Olson studied
this problem and similar ones and noticed two important points about tariffs and
quotas.First,the costs of the policy are spread over a great many people.Second,
the benefits are concentrated.For example,we all pay a little more for candy bars
and soft drinks,but a few sugar producers reap large benefits from our restrictions
on sugar imports.Olson found that in cases such as this,there is an asymmetry in
the incentives to support and to oppose the policy.With trade protection,the ben-
efits are concentrated in a single industry and,consequently,it pays for the indus-
try to commit resources to obtaining or maintaining its protection.The industry
will hire lobbyists and perhaps participate directly in the political process through
running candidates or supporting friendly candidates. If people in the industry
think their entire livelihood depends on their ability to limit foreign competition,
they have a very large incentive to become involved in setting po.

Assignment sub-heading: Sixth Amendment Right to Counsel
TITLE AND CITATION
:
Nix v. Williams
, 467 U.S. 431, 104 S.Ct. 2501 (1984)
TYPE OF ACTION
: Review by the U.S. Supreme Court of a lower court ruling that evidence should be suppressed as a result of a violation of the Sixth Amendment right to counsel. The state (Nix) sought to overturn the motion to suppress that was upheld by the U.S. District Court of Appeals.
FACTS OF THE CASE
:
On December 24, 1968, ten year old Pamela Powers was kidnapped from an Iowa YMCA and her body was later found in a ditch, which was within an extensive area that was being searched by volunteers and law enforcement. The defendant was observed “carrying a large bundle wrapped in a blanket…two legs in it and they were skinny and white.” Williams’ car, which contained clothing items belonging to the victim, was found the next day approximately 160 miles from the incident. Based on this information, an extensive search was started that extended from Des Moines to Davenport, Iowa.
Law enforcement obtained a warrant for Williams’ arrest, and he subsequently turned himself into the authorities in Davenport. Williams was arraigned and had obtained and spoken with an attorney. Des Moines police detectives agreed to transport Williams and not interview him during the drive between Davenport and Des Moines. During the drive, one of the detectives on the case began to speak to Williams regarding the need to find the child’s body before it snowed so that her parents could give her a proper, “Christian” burial. The detective did not ask Williams any specific questions during this conversation. At that point, Williams provided statements to the detectives that led them to the child’s body.
Williams was then tried in state court and was found guilty of first degree murder. Williams filed a motion to suppress the evidence of the body and all related evidence concerning the body’s location based on illegally obtained testimony. When the conviction was affirmed by the Iowa state Supreme Court, Williams sought relief in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa. The U.S. District Court, U.S. Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court agreed with Williams and determined that he was denied the right to counsel and his statements, which led to the child’s body, could not be introduced into evidence.
Williams was tried in state court a second time, without the use by the prosecution of the statements he had given to detectives. Prosecutors introduced evidence of the child’s body under the premise of “inevitable discovery”, as the chil.

Case 2:
Focused Throat Exam
Lily is a 20-year-old student at the local community college. When some of her friends and classmates told her about an outbreak of flu-like symptoms sweeping her campus over the past two weeks, Lily figured she shouldn't take her three-day sore throat lightly. Your clinic has treated a few cases similar to Lily's. All the patients reported decreased appetite, headaches, and pain with swallowing. As Lily recounts these symptoms to you, you notice that she has a runny nose and a slight hoarseness in her voice but doesn't sound congested.

case analysis
1. Jonas is 18 and recently finished high school. He lives at home with his mom and dad. While collecting dirty laundry in his room one day, Jonas’ mother discovered some of Jonas’ clothing with dried blood on them. She also found a bloody survival knife and muddy boots under his bed, as well as a bracelet that said “Lynn.” A few days earlier, police had discovered the missing body of Jonas’ high school sweetheart, Lynn, in the woods. Lynn had recently broken up with him. The medical examiner had determined that Lynn had died from repeated stabbing. When Jonas had been questioned by the police at the station, he claimed he knew nothing of the incident, and the police have no evidence tying Jonas to the disappearance or murder. Analyze these facts using ethical concepts or concerns from Module 8. (You are not evaluating elements of murder, or due process issues for example.)

District Attorney Schultz has brought charges against three players of the University football team. They have been charged with raping a stripper at a party attended by team members. The case has received much publicity and the media have discovered that the three players have a history of violence towards women. (Last year, two other women claimed they had been raped, but the cell phone video showing the forced sex had been excluded based on an illegal police search, and the players were found "not guilty.”) Shultz believes these players are guilty, and has given approximately 60 media interviews on the case. Schultz has also been campaigning for reelection, and a conviction here would go a long way. Unfortunately for Schultz, the DNA tests he ran do not match any of the three players to the victim’s assault. When he questioned her about this, the victim made contradictory statements, and she had no other evidence to corroborate the events. In fact, while her statements confirm that they raped her, she admitted to having consensual sex with two other men at the party, which weakens the case. Schultz decides to not tell anyone about the DNA results unless asked, and instructs the victim/witness to deny the other sexual encounters at trial. Analyze these facts using ethical concepts or concerns from Module 8. (You are not evaluating elements of rape or due process issues for example.) Assuming that Schultz had a strong belief that the defendants were guilty, include in your analysis whether this affects the moral and legal permissibility of his conduct.

Important Notes:
1. The designated coursework enable you to demonstrate your
skills in practical
utilisation of the commercial process simulators for process
computations. Moreover,
you show your competence in analysing the results.
2. This is a group work in which all members MUST evenly
contribute. Peer
assessment will be done to evaluate individual members’
contributions.
3. As the class test will be an individual assessment with similar
elements to this work,
your attempts for this commitment certainly equip you with the
necessary skills to
properly accomplish that part of the module’s assessment too.
4. The given problem is same for all groups. The contents that
can make your work
more distinguishable are, but not limited to, a good literature
review, rigorous results,
2. high quality interpretation, well managed and articulated report,
etc. These are highly
recommended as definitely make your work outstanding.
5. Critical thinking and interpretation of the results is required
and highly acknowledged.
The more professional/technical interpretation, the higher value.
This is an open task
that you can put in creativity and analysis skills. Few examples,
but not all, can be
commenting on: How well the process is simulated and if you
see any problem how
you can resolve/improve it? What are the assumptions used for
simulation simplicity
that might be risky for final results’ accuracy, why? Can these
assumptions be
avoided? If so how? How the simulation results improves your
understandings about
this case study? How can you use them to suggest process
improvement strategies?
Support your answers with examples and results.
6. You should submit your simulation and report files.
Maximum page limits are given
for some sections of the report, and are indicated with square
brackets.
7. You are welcome to ask your questions by contacting
Lecture/tutors. The
response(s) to your question might be posted on the website
(BB) to be accessible
by all students.
8. Further guidance will be given in lecture/tutorial times or via
the website updates.
3. Technical tasks and report preparation
Part A: Simulation Principle and VLE [Repot: 4 pages, Marks:
20]
(a) Which Fluid Package/Property Method can be suitable for
this simulation? Justify
your answer through Vapour Liquid Equilibrium (VLE)
evaluation.
Note: In order to make decision on which Fluid
Package/Properly Method is
suitable for this project, you may compare VLE data (such as
xy, Txy and Pxy
equilibrium data) attained using 3 to 4 Fluid Package/Property
Method and judge
which one(s) are more reliable. Moreover, you may compare the
theoretical xy
data (achieved by using Fluid Package/Property Method) with
practical data for
the same species and under same conditions (T, P). For practical
data you may
refer to the literature or search in Aspen data base for
equilibrium data (i.e.,
NIST).
(b) Separation of the final products and other species is
necessary. Conduct a VLE
analysis and discuss if distillation process can be used for
separation and if any
processing difficulty, such as azeotrope formation, may occur.

Process description
The preliminary process flow diagram (PFD) shown in Figure 1
represents a plant for the
production of benzene (C6H6) from toluene (C7H8) by an
exothermic reaction with hydrogen in
the presence of a solid catalyst:
C7H8(g) + H2(g) Æ C6H6(g) + CH4(g) (1)
The proposed production rate is 65,000 t/y of 99.5 mol% pure
benzene, based on 7920 hours
of plant operation per year.
9. Fresh and recycled liquid toluene is pumped from tank TNK-
100 and is combined with a high
pressure hydrogen feed and a recycled gas stream in unit MIX-
100. The combined feed
stream S4 is vaporised using high pressure steam in exchanger
E-100 and then heated further
to 600°C in fired heater E-101 prior to being fed into reactor R-
100. The feed enters the reactor
at a pressure of 2500 kPa. The reactors is of the catalytic
packed bed type, is operated
adiabatically and is intended to achieve 75% conversion of
toluene. The feed contains a large
excess of hydrogen, which acts as a diluent to moderate the
temperature rise in the reactor.
A small flow of cold gas, stream S24, is used for further reactor
temperature control. The
reactor effluent is cooled and partly condensed in exchanger E-
102 using cooling water and
partial separation of this stream is achieved in high pressure (V-
100) and low pressure (V-
101) flash drums. Part of the overhead vapour from V-100 is
recycled via compressor K-100
to the reaction section. The liquid product from the low pressure
flash drum is heated to near
its bubble point in E-103 using low pressure steam and is then
distilled in the benzene column.
The column produces a high purity benzene distillate, S18, an
impure toluene bottoms stream,
S19, which is recycled to the toluene storage tank, and a small
non-condensable gas stream,
S16, vented from the column’s reflux drum. This vent stream,
the balance of vapour from V-
100 and all the vapour from V-101 are combined in MIX-101
and become fuel gas for use in
the plant or elsewhere on the site. The benzene product from the
10. column is cooled in
exchanger E-104 using cooling water prior to being pumped to
storage.
In the Aspen Hysys simulation, it is suggested that the benzene
column be modelled by a
combination of two units: X-100, a component splitter, and T-
100, a shortcut distillation
column. This is because the Aspen Hysys shortcut column
model cannot produce both vapour
and liquid overhead products. Hence a simple component
splitter is used to remove all the H2
and CH4 in the feed S15 prior to its entry to the shortcut
column. Please note that unit X-100
does not exist in reality – stream S16 should actually be
produced from the top of column T-
100 along with the liquid distillate S18.
Appendix 2: Reaction information
The main reaction taking place in the packed bed catalytic
reactor is:
C7H8(g) + H2(g) Æ C6H6(g) + CH4(g) (1)
For the particular catalyst in the reactor, the rate of reaction of
toluene in kgmole/(m3.s) is
given by
r1 = k1 . exp(–E1/(RT)) . CC7H8 . CH20.5 (2)
where k1 = 2.29×1011 (kgmole/m3)–0.5.s–1, E1 = 2.13×105
kJ/kgmole, and C is molar
concentration in kgmole/ m3. Note that this rate equation applies
in the vapour phase only and
is valid in the range 500–900°C.

An unwanted, reversible reaction also takes place in which the
benzene product reacts further
to form biphenyl (C12H10):
C6H6(g) ' ½C12H10(g) + ½H2(g) (3)
The rate of the benzene consumption via reaction (3) in
kgmole/(m3.s) is given by
r2 = k2 . exp(–E2/(RT)) . CC6H62 – k3 . exp(–E3/(RT)) .
CC12H10 . CH2 (4)
where k2 = 3.8×1014 (kgmole/m3) –1.s–1, E2 = 2.68×105
kJ/kgmole, k3 = 2.2×1015 (kgmole/m3) –
1.s–1 and E3 = 2.68×105 kJ/kgmole (also). This information
also applies in the vapour phase for
500–900°C.
To get started in your study, consider the following reactor set-
up:
• Reactor orientation: Vertical, with gas downflow
• External heat transfer: None (adiabatic)
• Reactor diameter: 2.2 m
12. • Reactor height: 10 m
• Pressure drop: 100 kPa
You can consider modifications to the reactor, e.g. changes to
length and diameter, two
packed bed stages with inter-stage heat transfer, addition of
stream S24 at some position
along the length of the reactor rather than with the main feed
stream, different operating
conditions within reason (inlet temperature, pressure), …
You may wish to explore how the reactor behaves in isolation;
that is, for fixed streams S6
and S24 as found in the base case simulation, or you can link
the reactor with the rest of the
process and investigate the effect that reactor changes make on
the whole flowsheet.
Further information
As this is an open-ended and self-selected problem, more
information will likely be
needed than appears here. You are encouraged to find the
information yourself, but if
you have trouble please contact your lecturer. However, any
extra information
provided by the lecturer may be shared with whole class via the
unit web site

Prompt : Suicide or attempted suicide is a real problem for
students at universities in the United States. Research the
prevalence of suicide at universities, providing statistics for
those who committed suicide and for those who attempted it.
Examine pressures exerted on students that take them to the
brink, and use the novel as an example of a case study of a
student who loses a grasp on reality. How does Plath’s
character (and Plath) demonstrate characteristics of suicidal
tendencies similar to students who may be suicidal? What
services are available today but were not available in the 1950s?
You will need to do research for this prompt.
My outline:
Thesis Statement:
Many times throughout Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar, Esther
Greenwood, the narrator, stares in the mirror several times and
feels insecure in her appearance, experience, or other aspects.
27. Due to Esther's mental condition, the readers and reviewers of
The Bell Jar begin to reflect on her changing self-perception;
Esther's self-image began negatively at the beginning of the
novel and deteriorates throughout the novel, leading her
depression to escalate.
I. Introduction: Basic summary on The Bell Jar, Percentage of
college students in the U.S. that considered suicide from 2010-
2020, Esther’s role in the novel
· The Bell Jar is a novel about Esther Greenwood who is a
college student who aspires to be an author. She is chosen for a
month-long summer internship as a guest editor at Ladies' Day
magazine, but her time being in New York City is unfulfilling
as she grapples with identity and social norms.
· Esther Greenwood in Silva Plath’s autobiographical novel The
Bell Jar is a young and intelligent woman. Esther never really
learned how to develop herself as an independent. She has
gotten used to being a dependent on other people and she
follows their decisions in life. Esther is torn between trying to
start a family and continuing on with her career.
· When it comes to the principles of suicide, it is important to
remember that suicide is a deliberate act with very serious
repercussions.
· (Number of institutions and students in the years of 2010-2020
that have attempted and thought of committing suicide in the
United States.) From 2010-2015 there were 531 institutions and
393,884 students. From 2016-2020 there were 754 institutions
and 884,719 students.
II. Body: Suicide Prevention in College Students, Suicide
Second Highest Cause of Death Among College Students,
· Esther becomes unstable than ever before, and she attempts to
commit suicide. She attempts to slit her wrists but can only
manage to cut her calf instead. She wants to hang herself, but in
her low ceilinged home, she cannot find a spot to tie the string.
She tries to drown herself at the beach with friends, but she
28. never floats to the top of the water.
· A year, over 1,000 students commits suicide on college
campus.
· 80-90% of college students who took their life by suicide have
not received help from college counseling centers.
· According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
suicide is ranked second in most common cause of death
amongst college students in the United States.
· Plath’s character demonstrates characteristics of suicidal
tendencies similar to the students who attempt suicide.
· The novel revolves around Esther and how she needs to learn
how to live with herself, society, and attempted suicide
recovery.
Plath’s character similar tendencies with students of attempted
suicide:
· When other interns and demanding boss surrounded Esther,
she felt very isolated from society and nervous about her future.
- Students on campus sometimes feel isolated from other
students because they can’t fit in.
· Esther’s boss made her feel guilty and not confident in herself
because when she asked her what she will do after college.
(Early symptoms of Esther’s depression)
· Not all students know what they are going to do after college
and they are nervous about what the future holds.
· Esther feeling like no one understands her
· Students feel like they are all they got and no one will
understand the things they go through.
· Esther feels pressure when she realized that she needed to fit
in society.
· Students in college will always try to fit in into the community
and standards that are set on campus.
Esther represents the students in college who suffer from
depression and attempted suicide. She plays a role that students
in universities go through on the daily of trying to satisfy others
and following them. Esther loses a grasp on reality during her
29. internship and she doesn’t know how to be herself because of
The Bell Jar. Students in college are supposed to focus on their
classes and major to build a career. Instead, they are worried
about other students and “fitting into society.”
III. Conclusion
· Suicide is a major concern across the United States in colleges
and universities. Students usually hide their mental health
issues because they are ashamed of it.
· In the 1950s, ignorance about mental health meant that there
was extreme stigma and fear surrounding it. Most of the people
with mental health issues were considered “lunatics” and were
then sent off to asylums. This caused more damage to the
person. There was never really an incentive way to treat these
people/ students.
· Throughout the years, till 2010, there was been a shift of
strategic focus towards the mental health prevention.
· “A world with good mental health for all is a vision that will
take a global movement to achieve. It can only be achieved by a
fundamental reassessment of the power of prevention to support
mental health.” (Famous quote, break it down and analyze it)
· There are plenty of facilities now that are provided for the
people that are diagnosed with a mental illness.
· There are programs, hospitals, plenty of doctors specialized in
different mental illnesses, counselors, and more.
· Universities provide students a counselor for them to talk to.
They are very open-minded. The counselors also help you based
on your situation, and check on you almost every week to see if
you progressed.
· Now there is also a phone number you or your loved one can
dial and call when feeling suicidal and want help. There are lots
of opportunities people can take now to cure 2them from the
mental illness comparing it to the 1950s where there was
nothing.
*Opening up to my audience about my cousin that is suffering
30. from schizophrenia and how it is a difficult mental illness as
well as the illness being a suicidal ideation. *
