Procurement Planning Process
The goals of this procurement planning process information paper are to describe the project procurement planning process. Some of the goals are to identify the most valuable output of the plan procurement process and explain why I believe it is most valuable. It will explain the various contract types and describe who, buyer, or seller has the most risk for each contract type. Also, it will explain methods that can be used to mitigate the risks for each contract type. Another goal for this procurement planning process information paper is to develop a project monitoring process to track procurement orders for a project. This procurement planning process information paper will describe a source selection criterion that would be applicable to any project. Analyzing the ethical concerns that should be considered when identifying source selection criteria will further be included in this procurement planning process information paper. The final goal is to explain the role of risk management in the procurement planning process.
The procurement planning process is essential to a project and key phase in project planning. “The project manager is tasked with developing a plan for obtaining everything required to carry out project work activities and in doing this, needs to make several decisions on how to best use available organizational resources” (Wilson, 2015, "4.2 Project Procurement Requirements"). Procurement planning should be developed at the same time of creating a project’s preliminary budget, which is established during the planning phase of the procurement process. “Another important element in evaluating procurement requirements are the details of each requirement” (Wilson, 2015, "4.2 Project Procurement Requirements"). Project managers usually make mistakes when evaluating details of each requirement. This is vital not only in the initial phase of any project, but throughout all phases. Sometimes the resources required for an organization’s project are employees of the organization. An organization’s employees are great resources because they may possess the necessary experience, knowledge, and skill in order to support the project development. Also, company employees who have the necessary skillset for assisting in project development will alleviate the additional cost to pay external resources to perform the same work on the project.
The most valuable output of the plan procurement process is creating and establishing a project management plan (PMP). In this phase of project development, it is vital to assess the requirements of a business’ future endeavor. It is the responsibility of the project manager to identify project particulars, which will reflect provisions, essential plan fundamentals, skillset requirements of a ...

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.

Due Week 6 and worth 100 points
Officer Jones asked the neighborhood’s regular trash collector to put the content of the defendant’s garbage that was left on the curb in plastic bags and to turn over the bags to him at the end of the day. The trash collector did as the officer asked in order to not mix the garbage once he collected the defendant’s garbage. The officer searched through the garbage and found items indicative of narcotics use. The officer then recited the information that was obtained from the trash in an affidavit in support of a warrant to search the defendant’s home. The officer encountered the defendant at the house later that day upon execution of the warrant. The officer found quantities of cocaine and marijuana during the search and arrested the defendant on felony narcotics charges.

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.

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.
Los Angeles Times
[ProQuest]
Kessler, M. (2006, Sep 08). Controversial HP probe started under Fiorina; stock falls as board continues public feud.
USA Today
[ProQuest]
Pearlstein, S. (2011, Sep 25). How HP, silicon valley's darling, became a soap opera.
The Washington Post
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.
What types of political.

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

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.)
2.
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.

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.

USA Today
[ProQuest]
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.

: 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.

Procurement Planning Process
The goals of this procurement planning process information
paper are to describe the project procurement planning process.
Some of the goals are to identify the most valuable output of the
plan procurement process and explain why I believe it is most
valuable. It will explain the various contract types and describe
who, buyer, or seller has the most risk for each contract type.
Also, it will explain methods that can be used to mitigate the
risks for each contract type. Another goal for this procurement
planning process information paper is to develop a project
monitoring process to track procurement orders for a project.
This procurement planning process information paper will
describe a source selection criterion that would be applicable to
any project. Analyzing the ethical concerns that should be
2. considered when identifying source selection criteria will
further be included in this procurement planning process
information paper. The final goal is to explain the role of risk
management in the procurement planning process.
The procurement planning process is essential to a project and
key phase in project planning. “The project manager is tasked
with developing a plan for obtaining everything required to
carry out project work activities and in doing this, needs to
make several decisions on how to best use available
organizational resources” (Wilson, 2015, "4.2 Project
Procurement Requirements"). Procurement planning should be
developed at the same time of creating a project’s preliminary
budget, which is established during the planning phase of the
procurement process. “Another important element in evaluating
procurement requirements are the details of each requirement”
(Wilson, 2015, "4.2 Project Procurement Requirements").
Project managers usually make mistakes when evaluating details
of each requirement. This is vital not only in the initial phase
of any project, but throughout all phases. Sometimes the
resources required for an organization’s project are employees
of the organization. An organization’s employees are great
resources because they may possess the necessary experience,
knowledge, and skill in order to support the project
development. Also, company employees who have the
necessary skillset for assisting in project development will
alleviate the additional cost to pay external resources to perform
the same work on the project.
The most valuable output of the plan procurement process is
creating and establishing a project management plan (PMP). In
this phase of project development, it is vital to assess the
requirements of a business’ future endeavor. It is the
responsibility of the project manager to identify project
particulars, which will reflect provisions, essential plan
fundamentals, skillset requirements of a specific resource, and
whether it is better to employ company internal resources versus
spend additional funding obtaining external resources.
3. It is my opinion; the most valuable output of the plan
procurement process is to establish and implement a PMP. A
PMP has many components. “It is a document that defines how
a project is executed, monitored, and controlled; it is much
more than a schedule chart” (Simplilearn, 2020, para. 1).
Information in the PMP is critical for a successful project to
fully accomplish the objectives and goals of the organization
investors’ deliverables and meet their expectations on the
agreed upon schedule. A project charter, work breakdown
structure (WBS), and a project statement of work (SOW) are
necessary areas of the PMP. Additional areas of the PMP are a
customer specification document, activity information checklist,
network diagram, and bill of materials (BOM). The project
charter should be established in the initial phase of a project. It
defines the objective and will outline specific information
regarding project requirements of its deliverables. A customer
specification document is the key foundation of information for
project development. It lists all components of the project’s
deliverables in a sequenced WBS. It is crucial to review this
document with its stakeholders for clarity and verification of
their expectation of deliverables. The project SOW document
should be created in the initial phase of a project as well. It
defines specific project deliverables. The SOW is “used as a
primary source of procurement information if a customer
specification was not available. The project manager should
take caution and ensure that the SOW has been developed and
interpreted correctly to reduce the chance of error in
procurements” (Wilson, 2015, "4.2 Project Procurement
Requirements"). The WBS is a hierarchical reflection of all the
work requirements in a project in terms of deliverables. Work
requirements of a project must be performed in order to produce
these deliverables. When developing a WBS, it is vital for the
project manager to start at the highest level with all product
necessities. An activity information checklist are specifics of
the overall work, essential resources, calendar necessities, and
budget estimates to include the identified potential project
4. risks. The network diagram follows a WBS and activity
information checklist. “This is important because in many
cases activities can be done simultaneously or in parallel, and
some activities have to be completed before the next activity
can start” (Wilson, 2015, "4.2 Project Procurement
Requirements"). Finally, the BOM document is created as a
defined project deliverable list to use during execution of a
project. This document is important because it discloses to the
project manager all required procurement materials that are
warranted and justified.
There are various contract types utilized in project
management prior to the start of a project development.
Contracts differ in scope and intricacy. All entities i nvested are
known to have their legal advisors review the contract because
of the legalities of contract jargon as it is a legal, binding
document. Contracts are implemented to ensure all parties
involved understand the project requirements and expected
deliverables of the investors, resources and materials required,
specific and special requests, and equipment needed to begin
and complete a project. According to Wilson (2015), “there are
three primary categories of how contracts can be structured;
fixed price, cost reimbursable, and time and material” ("4.4
Contract Strategies"). Two of these contract categories have
three add-on subcontract categories; time and material contracts
are stand-alone. The primary contract categories are fixed price
contracts, cost-reimbursable contracts, and time and material
contracts. Fixed price contracts are fixed total price contracts.
“The seller needs to calculate all of the time, resources, and
materials required to fulfill the requirements of a deliverable
outlined in the contract as well as any profit margins and risk
contingency monies that would normally be factored in to
establish a single fixed price. The seller is obligated to perform
all the duties outlined in the contract for the fixed price
regardless of any inaccuracies in the seller’s estimates. The
buyer is at an advantage because he obtains the product or
service at a fixed price under the terms of the contract and can
5. factor both the cost and schedule of this procurement into a
project plan” (Wilson, 2015, "4.4 Contract Strategies"). Cost
reimbursable contracts are exactly how they are titled. “the
seller wants to be reimbursed for any actual costs incurred in
fulfilling contract objective obligations. It additionally
includes incentive and award fees as add-ons for measurable
performance. Sellers typically use this type of contract because
products or services incur large sums of financial outlay; the
seller wants to manage cash flow and immediately
reimbursement. The seller will not commit to a fixed price
because the risk is too high for the seller to cover any errors in
cost estimating without enough information on critical
purchases or special orders. Time and material contracts
consent to seller reimbursement of cost incurred on materials.
It requires the buyer to pay a pre-negotiated rate for time
incurred in completing the contract objective. Subcontractors
keep track of all time worked and bill the buyer as materials are
being purchased. Contractors prefer this type of contract, as it
shifts most of the risk to the buyer, allowing the seller full
reimbursement on materials and a seemingly open-ended
schedule for completion” (Wilson, 2015, "4.4 Contract
Strategies").
Methods that can be used to mitigate the risks for each
contract type are to establish the related risks to each item and
create a response plan fitting for each risk item. A strategy
response should be jointly developed by the project manager
and the procurement department. A strategy response
summarizes all mandatory acquisitions and agreements.
The purpose of a project monitoring process to track
procurement orders is to avoid procurement acquisition
wastefulness in addition to overseeing and monitoring
purchases. This process is done by identifying procurement
requirements for all project planning, which entails project
purchasing agents are aware and understand the exact
specifications of the necessary supplies, equipment, and tools
listed on a procurement requisition form. Additionally, project
6. managers should create and implement cautionary prompts
regarding possible problems of procurement data that can delay
project development due to incorrect procurement purchases.
Source selection criteria will consist of supplier abilities,
size, delivery, pricing, lifespan warranty, and technical
knowledge of a project contract. A source selection criterion
that would be applicable to any project would be the
management approach. The management approach criteria
describe if the seller is reliable to establish and produce
management methods, which will guarantee successful project
deliverables.
In my professional experience, analyzing the ethical
concerns that should be considered when identifying source
selection criteria are imperative because violations are known to
happen and exist with project acquisition contracts. Some areas
to identify are fraud, conflict of interest, and exploitation. One
particular violation is personal gain, which is considered a
conflict of interest. This means awarding a contract to a
company or having personal involvement with the awardee for
personal financial gain.
The role of risk management in the procurement planning
process is to minimize supplier selection risks. Risk
management in the procurement planning process assists
businesses by assuring the purchasing and supply operations are
steady and consistent. According to "Importance of Risk
Management in Procurement"(2019), “it also contributes to the
resilience of a supply chain as a whole and to business
continuity” (Why Is Understanding Risk Important).
In summary, the procurement planning process is just as
vital and significant in project developments. There are
procurement risks, which require the project manager and an
organization’s supply, budget, or procurement department’s
attention to have the necessary skillsets when submitting the
project requisition forms purchases. One of the most important
aspects of a contract to an organization is the ethical behavior
of their entrusted employees because lack of ethics wil l ruin an

Procurement Planning Paper

Planning of project procurements is done inside the obtainment
procedure and results in building up an arrangement. A
procurement plan is a beneficial tool for sorting out and
overseeing exercises and tasks identified with the obtainment of
the executive's procedure. A layout of the arrangement is to be
structured by the obtaining office in participation with the
venture director. A task acquisition plan should be explored and
upheld by the task supervisor before any provider connections
begin. During the procurement planning process, the acquisition
technique is relegated and the desires for the satisfaction of
obtainment necessities are decided. It enables organizers to
decide whether desires are sensible; especially the desires for
the mentioning properties, which as a rule expect their
prerequisites met without warning over a shorter period than the
utilization of the relating obtainment technique permits.
The valuable output - Procurement Management plan.
This shows how most of the other processes are to be carried
out. In point of interest, it shows what is to be acquired for the
company, the type of contract that is used, how or how it is to
be selected, how its implementation is measured, and how the
risk of acquisition is to be monitored. Because the procurement
strategy is vital.
All anticipated specifications are reported and more than once
9. guaranteed. A purchase schedule is developed from there that
sets the course for every stage of the purchase process to allow
awards to be granted and to meet the requirements. It includes
strengthening comparable needs under one single agreement or
dividing a necessity into various packages of economic-scale
agreements. The purchasing component that previously focuses
on additional personnel specifications for finalization of all
selection factors from the number of preconditions to the
purchase agreement, including external assistance. To determine
how actual training comparisons and tasks are carried out, the
analysis of the procurement process is considered, therefore,
informing the business divisions and modifying the structure
equivalently. It improves the quality and performance of the
procurement process.
Three general types of contract compensation:
1. Fixed Price: The supplier is obliged to deliver the contract
at a fixed price. The supplier bears the risk.
2. Incentive contracts: In this, the supplier is rewarded for
controlling cost and improving schedule performance. The risk
is shared by both buyer and supplier.
3. Cost-Type: In this, the buyer is obliged to pay for all
reasonable costs agreed to the supplier. The buyer bears the
risk.
Risk is a major factor during the contract type selection. Every
contract type has a different type of sharing of risk amongst the
parties involved. The risks and their impact also differ from one
project to another. So, while selecting a contract type the degree
of risk and the risk-sharing between the parties entering the
contract must be kept in mind.
The contracting helps to mitigate the risks in a project in two
ways. Firstly, it mitigates the risk through the sharing of the
risk with the contractor. When a contract is given, the risk is
either shared or transferred to the contractor. This helps in
mitigating and avoiding the risk. Secondly, the contractors are
often experts in their work, and getting a job done by an expert
reduces the chances of risk and helps in mitigating the risk.
10. The success of a development project can be measured in
several ways using the following indicators, Increased customer
base is a major indicator of the success of a growth project. The
purpose of the project is reviewed if the purpose is almost
solved then t is considered that a growth project was successful.
This can also be seen in the balance sheets if the profit and loss
statement say that profits have increased then it can be
conserved that the project was successful. Another indicator is
that the project should get completed within the defined budget.
Sustainability of the growth over a period is also a measure of
the success of a growth project. The quality of the products
produced, and the customer reviews can also be considered to
ensure the success or failure of the growth project.
When identifying a source selection standard, there may be
some ethical concerns, especially when a preferred
supplier/vendor list is not going to be used by the procurements
department. Some of those ethical issues are favoring a vendor
for personal reasons and therefore giving them the advantage of
knowing more about the scope of work than the other vendors,
providing an unfair advantage to that vendor. Other ethical
issues can be fairness across the board as far as making sure
every vendor/supplier has all the same information with regards
to the scope and requirement of the project. Providing
misleading information to one vendor because of personal issues
with that vendor is an ethical issue as well.
Risk management is part of the procurement management
process. Risk management is continuing the early stage, the
firm must decide the requirements of the project and for this,
they must keep in mind the suppliers available who can meet
these needs. But available suppliers cannot fulfill all the
requirements, so risk management starts from here. Firms must
search for new suppliers who can fulfill their needs, but the risk
is involved in it. In risk management, they must determine
which supplier has the least risk level. It must be based on the
facts or experience, not on the rule of thumb, for example,
intuition or guesses. Each step of the planning process contains
11. risk, the firm must consider all factors before appointing a
supplier. Therefore, risk management plays important role in
procurement planning.
