Supply Chain Definition
A supply chain consists of all parties involved, directly or indirectly, in fulfilling a customer request, and includes manufacturers, suppliers, transporters, warehouses, retailers, and customers (Chopra & Meindl, 2004).
Supply chain management encompasses the planning and management of all activities involved in sourcing and procurement, conversion, and all logistics management activities. Importantly, it also includes coordination ...

Supply Chain Financial Management
This is a very great example of what I'm about to explain when it comes to supply and finance being on the same page. I'm the Fleet Maintenance Superintendent for a small city here in central Florida. I have been there for a bout a year and a half now. We have over 500 pieces of equipment and vehicle to include the fire and police department. Each year we sit down and discuss information on what equipment and vehicles that needs to be exchanged because of miles or over usage date. I found out that our city finance department was making the decision of determining what vehicles needed to be replaced along with how many. No one could explain to me why this would make any sense. So to correct the issue the Fleet Department is now in charge of all fleet related issues, and to tie the finance department in is that the budget and cost will be reported to them on which equipment that needs to be replaced. I truly understand the role of the finance department because when you talk about budget and money it all goes together. In the corporate level that process could become a little more difficult. There are so many parts and moving pieces that you probably have to communicate on a daily basics when we are discussing connecting supply and finance as far as inventory. The military operates a little different from the civilian world when discussing supply. A certain amount of funds are allocated for that unit for the physical year so the flow of goods runs smoothly.

3) Assignment of roles and responsibilities
Assignment of roles and responsibilitiesfor each group member, identify task that need to be completed, and deadlines associated with each task. This will clarify who is doing what and timelines for various tasks.
My suggestion is to assign topics according to the chapters of the text. For instance, you could assign each group member one or more chapter(s). The most important or relevant chapters are: structural and contextual variables (chapter #1), strategy and goals (chapter #2), organization structure (chapter #3) , external environment (chapter #4), lifecycle and size (chapter #9) and organizational culture (chapter #11). Other chapters that are important and could be included are: interorganizational relationships (chapter #5), international challenges (chapter #6), mfg technology (chapter #7), (chapter #10), innovation and change (chapter #11), and conflict, power, and politics (chapter #13)
4) Problem Definition:
This section will require you to identify a possible problem, issue, challenge that your organization is facing. If your organization is a publicly traded company, you’ll be able to look online for various problems/challenges facing the company. Otherwise, you may need to contact someone at the organization directly to identify a possible problem/issue facing your organization. Please note that you’ll be able to change your problem/issue at a later date. Provide a reference(s) and citations to explain where you obtained this information.
An except from a previous proposal
There are several issues with UNB’s structure but the main concern is that there is too much centralization and concentration of power at the administration level (org. design issue – relates back to what we’ve discussed in class). Some of the organizational design issues have led to conflicting goals and hinder the capability to meet the overarching strategic go.

Richard Veryard presented at the IASA UK Conference in April 2013 on architecting multi-sided businesses. He discussed how modern businesses need to satisfy overlapping stakeholder needs in multiple markets simultaneously. The emerging architectural response is to configure enterprises as platforms of services rather than traditional value chains. However, this transformation involves profound architectural challenges for business architects to master, such as mapping ecosystems, defining indirect value, establishing governance economies, and developing agility.
Supply chain design was traditionally done through occasional projects but is now becoming a core business process. This is driven by advancements in technology allowing more detailed analysis, the fast pace of business changes requiring continuous optimization, and increased volatility. Establishing supply chain design as a centralized shared service can help organizations benefit from consistency, prioritization of initiatives, and identification of quick wins and game-changing opportunities.
Supply chain design is becoming a core business process rather than an occasional project due to changes in technology, business practices, and market volatility. Establishing supply chain design as a core process through a shared service center can help optimize the entire supply chain rather than individual business units. This centers of excellence approach avoids local biases and focuses on data-driven solutions.
Supply chain design is becoming a core business process rather than an occasional project due to changes in technology, business practices, and market volatility. Establishing supply chain design as a core process through a shared service center can help optimize the entire supply chain through continuous modeling, scenario testing, and identification of better future state networks. This provides consistency, standardized processes, and access to data that isolated optimization projects lack.
This document summarizes a research paper that developed a new model for supplier selection using structural equation modeling (SEM) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The paper aims to select suppliers for a public sector company in India based on important supplier selection criteria. It reviewed previous supplier selection models and developed a generic theoretical model considering criteria like quality, cost, delivery, etc. An empirical study was conducted surveying 151 respondents to evaluate suppliers. The new composite SEM-AHP model was used to calculate supplier selection scores and identify strengths and weaknesses to help suppliers improve.

Business Performance Risks Caused by Outsourcing of Information Technology.
The information technology (IT) growth has resulted in the rise of transaction demand by consumers and businesses. The majority of the organization's technical teams are ever-present to solve any emerging needs. Following rampant business needs growth, organizations are on a mission to keep the source and demand of particular information technology functions intact. The world's globalization has changed the production mode of enterprises from insourcing to outsourcing. The management of cost and time management efficiency are the determiners of the organization's business performance.

Richard Veryard presented at the IASA UK Conference in April 2013 on architecting multi-sided businesses. He discussed how modern businesses need to satisfy overlapping stakeholder needs in multiple markets simultaneously. The emerging architectural response is to configure enterprises as platforms of services rather than traditional value chains. However, this transformation involves profound architectural challenges for business architects to master, such as mapping ecosystems, defining indirect value, establishing governance economies, and developing agility.
Supply chain design was traditionally done through occasional projects but is now becoming a core business process. This is driven by advancements in technology allowing more detailed analysis, the fast pace of business changes requiring continuous optimization, and increased volatility. Establishing supply chain design as a centralized shared service can help organizations benefit from consistency, prioritization of initiatives, and identification of quick wins and game-changing opportunities.
Supply chain design is becoming a core business process rather than an occasional project due to changes in technology, business practices, and market volatility. Establishing supply chain design as a core process through a shared service center can help optimize the entire supply chain rather than individual business units. This centers of excellence approach avoids local biases and focuses on data-driven solutions.
Supply chain design is becoming a core business process rather than an occasional project due to changes in technology, business practices, and market volatility. Establishing supply chain design as a core process through a shared service center can help optimize the entire supply chain through continuous modeling, scenario testing, and identification of better future state networks. This provides consistency, standardized processes, and access to data that isolated optimization projects lack.
This document summarizes a research paper that developed a new model for supplier selection using structural equation modeling (SEM) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The paper aims to select suppliers for a public sector company in India based on important supplier selection criteria. It reviewed previous supplier selection models and developed a generic theoretical model considering criteria like quality, cost, delivery, etc. An empirical study was conducted surveying 151 respondents to evaluate suppliers. The new composite SEM-AHP model was used to calculate supplier selection scores and identify strengths and weaknesses to help suppliers improve.

Code of Ethics: This is a synopsis of some of the most important ethical
considerations you need to be aware of as a professional in the real estate
industry.
Terminology:
Agency: The fiduciary relationship created between a principal and an agent whereby the agent
can act on behalf of the principle for certain transactions. Agency is usually created when the
principal signs a listing agreement to list their property for sale or a management contract to rent
a property for instance.
Agent: The broker or sales associate acting on behalf of the principal (see Agency)
Client: The person with whom the broker or sales associate has a legal contract to represent.
Customer: Is not contractually bound to the industry professional
Principal: Person who hires an agent to act on his or behalf.
Code of Ethics:
#1: The agent has a responsibility to promote the interests of their client(s) and treat all involved
in any real estate transaction in an honest and fair manner. They must disclose if they are a
dual agent (representing both buyer and seller in a transaction) or a designated agent
(represent either the buyer or seller depending on state law), or they are a limited representative
(will provide only certain duties in the transaction per state law).
#2: Agents must openly acknowledge to clients any personal interest they might have in any
transaction prior to showing a property; they must acknowledge any personal relationships
involved. Ex: Agent says, “I want to disclose to you before we look at it, that this property
belongs to is my brother and my sister in-law is his agent.”
#3: The Agent will not allow anyone that is not pre-authorized by the owner, to access the
property of the client.
#4: Never overstate benefits or attributes of a property or opportun.

A 65-year-old obese African American male patient presents to his HC.docxsodhi3
A 65-year-old obese African American male patient presents to his HCP with crampy left lower quadrant pain, constipation, and fevers to 101˚ F. He has had multiple episodes like this one over the past 15 years and they always responded to bowel rest and oral antibiotics. He has refused to have the recommended colonoscopy even with his history of chronic inflammatory bowel disease (diverticulitis), sedentary lifestyle, and diet lacking in fiber. His paternal grandfather died of colon cancer back in the 1950s as well. He finally underwent colonoscopy after his acute diverticulitis resolved. Colonoscopy revealed multiple polyps that were retrieved, and the pathology was positive for adenocarcinoma of the colon.
Develop a 1- to 2-page case study analysis in which you:
Explain why you think the patient presented the symptoms described.
Identify the genes that may be associated with the development of the disease.
Explain the process of immunosuppression and the effect it has on body systems.

ome creators announce their inventions with grand
éclat. God proclaimed, “Fiat lux,” and then flooded
his new universe with brightness. Others bring forth
great discoveries in a modest guise, as did Charles
Darwin in defining his new mechanism of evolu-
tionary causality in 1859: “I have called this principle, by which
each slight variation, if useful, is preserved, by the term Natur-
al Selection.”
Natural selection is an immensely powerful yet beautifully
simple theory that has held up remarkably well, under intense
and unrelenting scrutiny and testing, for 135 years. In essence,
natural selection locates the mechanism of evolutionary change
in a “struggle” among organisms for reproductive success, lead-
ing to improved fit of populations to changing environments.
(Struggle is often a metaphorical description and need not be
viewed as overt combat, guns blazing. Tactics for reproductive
success include a variety of nonmartial activities such as earlier
and more frequent mating or better cooperation with partners
in raising offspring.) Natural selection is therefore a principle of
local adaptation, not of general advance or progress.
Yet powerful though the principle may be, natural selection
is not the only cause of evolutionary change (and may, in many
cases, be overshadowed by other forces). This point needs em-
phasis because the standard misapplication of evolutionary the-
ory assumes that biological explanation may be equated with
devising accounts, often speculative and conjectural in practice,
about the adaptive value of any given feature in its original en-
vironment (human aggression as good for hunting, music and
religion as good for tribal cohesion, for example). Darwin him-
self strongly emphasized the multifactorial nature of evolu-
tionary change and warned against too exclusive a reliance on
natural selection, by placing the following statement in a max-
imally conspicuous place at the very end of his introduction: “I
am convinced that Natural Selection has been the most impor-
tant, but not the exclusive, means of modification.”
Reality versus Conceit
N A T U R A L S E L E C T I O N is not fully sufficient to explain evo-
lutionary change for two major reasons. First, many other caus-
es are powerful, particularly at levels of biological organization
both above and below the traditional Darwinian focus on or-
ganisms and their struggles for reproductive success. At the low-
est level of substitution in individual base pairs of DNA, change
is often effectively neutral and therefore random. At higher lev-
els, involving entire species or faunas, punctuated equilibrium
can produce evolutionary trends by selection of species based
on their rates of origin and extirpation, whereas mass extinc-
tions wipe out substantial parts of biotas for reasons unrelat-
ed to adaptive struggles of constituent species in “normal”

Presentation Style
Your research project needs to be clearly presented:
·
The front page should include your
name, project title (around 15 words), your supervisor’s name, the date it
was completed;
·
Work should be presented single
sided, in Arial, minimum font size 11 and be one and a half spaced;
·
A contents page detailing the section
and any tables/charts should be included;
·
Any quotes of less than 12 words
should be identified by quotation marks and kept as part of the paragraph text;
·
Quotes of 12 words and above should
be separated out from the text, indented on the left and right and be displayed
in italics (no quotation marks required);
·
All tables and charts should be
numbered appropriately and have a title;
·
Each section of your project should
be started on a new page;
·
All pages should be numbered;
·
Each section should be numbered (e.g.
1. Introduction) and any charts/graphs within the section should be numbered
accordingly. For example if you are writing about something in section 4.1 (the
first sub-section) then the first chart or graph would be 4.11. So charts and
graphs (if included) are numbered according to the section/sub-section.

Alistair Cockburn
• What’s Alistair’s take on Iterative vs. Incremental?
Incremental vs. Iterative
• in incremental development, you do each of those
activities multiple times … that is, you go around the
requirements – design – programming – testing –
integration – delivery cycle multiple times. You
“iterate” through that cycle multiple times. (“iterate” –
get it? sigh…)
• in iterative development, you also do each of those
activities multiple times … you go around the
requirements – design – programming – testing –
integration – delivery cycle multiple times. You
“iterate” through that cycle multiple times. By Gummy!
Both of those are “iterative” development! WOW!

Incremental vs. Iterative (cont’d)
• Of course, the $200,000 question is,
do you repeat the cycle “on the same
part of the system you just got done
with” or “on a new part of the
system”? How you answer that
question yields very different results
on what happens next on your
project.

Feminist Figures or Damsels in Distress?
The Media’s Gendered Misrepresentation
of Disney Princesses
Isabelle Gill | University of Central Florida
A gender bias seems to exist when discussing Disney princesses in entertainment media that could have
significant consequences for girls who admire these heroines. Prior research and my own extensions have
shown that modern princesses display almost equal amounts of masculine and feminine qualities; how-
ever, my research on film reviews shows an inaccurate representation of these qualities. These media
perpetuate sexist ideals for women in society by including traditionally feminine vocabulary, degrading
physical descriptions, and inaccuracies about the films, as well as syntax and critiques that trivialize the
heroines’ accomplishments and suggest the characters are not empowered enough. The reviews also
encourage unhealthy competition between the princesses and devote significantly more words to these
negative trends than to positive discussions. These patterns result in the depiction of the princesses as
more stereotypically feminine and weak than is indicated by the films themselves, which hinders the cre-
ation of role models for girls.
Despite significant strides women have made
toward combatting sexism in American
society, news and entertainment media rep-
resentations of women continue to be one of
the many obstacles left before reaching
equality. Numerous studies have identified
gender bias in the ways media represent
women (Fink and Kensicki; Niven and
Zilber; Shacar; Wood). Media tend to favor
representations of women who are “tradi-
tionally feminine” as well as not “too able,
too powerful, or too confident,” over more
complex representations (Wood 33). For
example, research by Janet Fink and Linda
Jean Kensicki shows that when media aimed
at both men and women discuss female ath-
letes, their focus is on sex appeal, fashion,
and family rather than athletic accomplish-
ment. Female scientists as well as female
members of Congress also fall victim to this
trend. Interviews with male scientists often
portray them as primarily professionals
while interviews with female scientists tend
to reference their professionalism while high-
lighting domesticity and family life (Shacar).
Similarly, media descriptions of the female
members of Congress focus on domestic
issues even though the congresswomen por-
tray themselves as having diverse interests
(Niven and Zilber). In sum, biased, gendered
representations of women are common in
various forms of media.
Media misrepresentation of women in
these ways can lead to significant social
consequences, such as reinforcing anti-
quated gender roles and diminishing the
perception of women’s impact on society
(England, Descartes, and Collier-Meek;
Fink and Kensicki; Graves; Niven and
Zilber; Shacar; Wood). Since media are

Assessment and Planning in Educational technology.pptxKavitha Krishnan
In an education system, it is understood that assessment is only for the students, but on the other hand, the Assessment of teachers is also an important aspect of the education system that ensures teachers are providing high-quality instruction to students. The assessment process can be used to provide feedback and support for professional development, to inform decisions about teacher retention or promotion, or to evaluate teacher effectiveness for accountability purposes.

Geared towards students, researchers, and science buffs, this book breaks down complex ideas into simple explanations. It covers topics such as electron waves, temporal dynamics, and the implications of this model on particle physics. With clear illustrations and easy-to-follow explanations, readers will gain a new outlook on the universe's fundamental nature.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Supply Chain Definition
A supply chain consists of all parties involved, directly or
indirectly, in fulfilling a customer request, and includes
manufacturers, suppliers, transporters, warehouses, retailers,
and customers (Chopra & Meindl, 2004).
Supply chain management encompasses the planning and
management of all activities involved in sourcing and
procurement, conversion, and all logistics management
activities. Importantly, it also includes coordination and
collaboration with channel partners, which can be suppliers,
intermediaries, third party service providers, and customers. In
essence, supply chain management integrates supply and
5. demand management within and across companies (CSCMP
2013).

Business Negotiation
Business negotiation is largely a process where people with
multiple objectives openly seek money, business opportunities,
and other forms of value. Other types of negotiation, are often
less open and often threatened by the actions of individuals and
groups who do not seek common benefit. Business leaders strive
to accomplish win-win agreements where interested parties
benefit from combining actions to create synergy. When
companies combine efforts the result is often more than the
individual outcomes each party can accomplish on their own.
7
Business Negotiation
Business negotiation is a process and the process changes based
on situations.
An example of a business negotiation for synergy is Apple
Samsung. Both companies make products that compete against
each other. However, Apple is dependent on Samsung for
memory components in smart phones. A negotiation in which
both parties benefit from combined effort results.
8
6. Other Forms of Negotiation
A homeowner negotiating with a contractor to perform specific
work on a home illustrates an example of other types of
negotiation. The homeowner specifies the need and the
contractor performs. However, the transaction results in a
payment to the contractor. In this situation, combining the
efforts of multiple parties for synergy is not accomplished
(Baber & Fletcher-Chen, 2015).
9
Strategic Alliances
Because supply chains are defined in a broad context, and
because product and services firms acquire, Long-term relations
are often part of the negotiation process
Company leaders have favored development of long-term
strategic alliances, rather than one off vendor purchase
agreements because of pressure to compete n the global market.
Cost pressures, and risk management have motivated companies
to improve performance by creating SCM strategies involving
strategic alliances with supplier companies (Steinle & Schiele,
2008). The quality of a companies products and services in the
commercial market are traced to factors created by companies a
firm buy from. Product costs, inventory management, and
quality are provided by other companies directly or indirectly.
(Monczka et al., 2008).
10
7. Supplier Selection
Vendor selection and supplier selection are two different
processes. Recent developments in the supply chain
management process resulted in managers realizing vendor
selection reduces the chances of entering into long-term
strategic alliances. Vendors are selected by the request for bid
process, followed by the selection on a "one time basis" of a
supplier to perform a specific task or to supply a specific
product.
11
Roles and Responsibilities of Negotiation Teams
Negotiating teams create added synergy when effectively
developed and managed, prior to the start of business
negotiations with counterparts in other companies. Included in
the functions members may contribute are:
Facilitating the negotiation process (understand where to begin,
manage other team members, set agendas)
Subject matter experts provide insight and advice on specific
issues and validate assumptions the team members will develop
during the planning phase
Each member of a team can assist by conducting market
research for their respective disciplines
12
Roles and Responsibilities of Negotiation Teams
It is common to have diverse department representatives on
cross-functional teams. The advantage of cross-functional teams
is the synergistic results acquired through such processes as
brainstorming, supplier capability audits, and role-playing to
simulate expected negotiation sessions. Simulation provides
stakeholders a learning process. Brainstorming allows for

Mechanics of IP Assignments
The MUSE section of class will help get you started. However,
it will require researching the library to obtain material
necessary to complete assignments. Be sure not rely too much
on blogs and other “non-scholarly” resources
See the list of preferred reference types in the announcements

9. Mechanics of IP Assignments
What to do for Individual Project Writing
Use a coversheet with running header.
Title page headers need to have the words “Running head: ALL
CAP TITLE” on one line, and subsequent pages need the words
“Running head,” removed. MS Word section creation allows
for the title page to be formatted one way and the subsequent
pages another. This will allow for one header on the title page
and another on subsequent pages. The way to do this is to use
the MS Word section break feature. That way you can have
differing formats (running header, in this case) on the title page
and subsequent pages.
Use the negotiation template referenced in the IP instructions
Cite authority for comments on the form in APA format
Add a separate reference form in APA format

substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
As a regional manager for ABC Manufacturing, your duties will
include negotiating contracts with vendors to maintain
production and transportation schedules. Because you just came
on board, the chief operating officer (COO) has asked you to
10. address the senior team leaders on the importance of contract
negotiations in vendor selection. You begin the meeting by
asking each leader to provide his or her understanding of what
negotiating means, and the importance of negotiating in supply
chain management. In addition, you ask the leaders to identify 3
key members of the contract negotiating team.
Describe the following:
Part 1: What does negotiation mean in today’s business
environment?
Part 2: What role does contract negotiations play in the vendor
selection process?
Part 3: Identify the roles and responsibility of at least 3 key
members of the contract negotiation team.

IP Instructions in Classroom Unit 1
For this course, you will be working on a Key Assignment.
Throughout this course, you will use the Negotiation Strategy
Planning Template to guide your research and analysis. Each
week, you will complete a portion of the Negotiation Strategy
Planning Template using the information provided. After
completing the template, in Week 5, you will apply what you
have learned to a negotiating scenario. Your final Key
Assignment will be complete in Unit 5, and it will include the
completed Negotiation Strategy Planning Template and a
presentation based on the provided scenario.
Click here to download the Negotiation Strategy Planning
Template.

12. Planning Scenario
Your company manufactures DELAMIX blenders, and you are
negotiating terms with a supplier of a critical component in
your manufacturing process (XYZ Plastics). The chief operating
officer (COO) wants you to lead the contract negotiations with
XYZ Plastics; however, your planning team has no formal
training in negotiation strategy planning. To assist you, the
COO provided a recommended template to guide your planning
effort. He asked that you review the template and prepare a
discussion or narrative for each section that will outline the key
components required and guide the planning process.
After reviewing the template, you decide to host a series of
training sessions (one per week) designed to coach your team on
the negotiation strategy planning process. Your first planning
session will serve as an introduction to the planning process and
outline the purpose of negotiations and the intended outcomes.
20
IP
Use the template provided (Negotiation Strategy Planning
Template). You will write a discussion of 600–800 words on the
following topics:
Purpose of the Negotiation (300–400 words)
Characteristics of negotiations (why negotiate)
Discuss the purpose of negotiations in the supply chain.
Discuss at least 2 situations where negotiation is appropriate.
Discuss at least 2 common negotiation situations.
Desired outcome (300–400 words)
Discuss the desired outcomes of your organization.
Discuss the importance of identifying the organization's goals
and objectives as a part of negotiation planning.
Define and describe the term most desirable outcome (MDO).
13. For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web
resources, and all course materials.
21
IP
Use course material and library articles for majority of
references. Include other resources as supplemental to articles
and assigned reading.
Use at least two references. Library articles and assigned
reading.
APA citations in text location on the negotiation template. APA
references on the last page, separate from the template.

Academic Resources
Original Research
The term research applies to many activities, and there are
different purposes for research as well. In an academic setting,
the highest form of research is the discovery of new knowledge
through careful design and testing of a hypothesis or extensive
qualitative study. This form of original research may be found
in academic or research journals, such as JABM: Journal of
Accounting, Business & Management. These articles are often
summaries of extensive research documents, which other
independent researchers scrutinize to evaluate the validity and
reliability of research performed. Student dissertations created
to complete doctoral studies are also a valuable source of
knowledge. They are created using this same type of rigorous
approach and they are subject to evaluation by a committee of
the university granting the degree to evaluate validity and
reliability.
14. Textbooks
Textbooks are very often compilations of original research
intermixed with sample applications and a coordinated
presentation of the material by the text's author or authors who
are often respected researchers or teachers in the field. Whereas
these sources provide information that fairly presents the results
of research, as well as specific applications, they more often
than not avoid presenting the actual research performed. As a
result, you must view these as summaries of research, like book
reviews are to the actual books.
23
Academic Resources
Trade Journals
While the previous forms of research are often more theoretical
in nature, they provide the opportunity to develop applications
which utilize this knowledge. Many trade journals, such as the
AICPA's Journal of Accountancy, provide reviews of
applications or best practices in an industry related to the more
theoretical research discussed above. Expert practitioners
frequently write these articles and focus more on the application
of knowledge than the creation of it. These articles may also
focus on applying theories from other areas to a specific
industry problem: for example, using forest conservation
principles in organizational development. Editors review these
article submissions, but because they are more often editorial in
nature, they are not subject to the same rigorous scrutiny that
original research is.
Popular Press
The popular press is yet another source of information. Books
such as Blue Ocean Strategy or The World is Flat are based in
research, but are presented in a more practical light and do not
necessarily make clear distinctions between the facts and
opinions they present. News sources such as Business Week or
15. Fast Company also fall into this category where the line
between knowledge and editorial is blurred. Again, editors often
review these solely to avoid factual misstatement, but not to
establish validity or reliability of the opinions expressed.
24
Academic Resources
Encyclopedias, Dictionaries, and Compendiums
Finally, there are encyclopedias, dictionaries, and
compendiums. These cross-reference materials often summarize
in a highly condensed manner other sources of information.
Whereas they are very helpful in finding research and expert
opinion, they are not themselves valuable as a source of
information. Just as a yellow pages may help you find a
mechanic, these sources may help you find research. You must
still go to the source and evaluate its usefulness yourself.
Encyclopedia Britannica, Oxford's English Dictionary, and
Wikipedia are all examples of these sources. Often, editors do
not review these materials beyond simple proofing to make sure
they have properly cited the original sources. The editors have
not reviewed the original sources for validity or reliability.
Often, opinions expressed by clearly biased sources are
included and the editors only insure proper citation.
25
Academic Resources
26
Non Academic Resources
Searching for information on a subject is a skill that you may
develop. The Internet has made it much easier to search for
information and search providers such as Google have created
the ability to find instantly large amounts of information. The
16. challenge is in evaluating that information. Sources in the
University Library or the E-Book Collection are more
appropriate and learning to search through them takes more
practice. Google, Wikipedia and various Internet blogs or
electronic articles are not good sources for academic essays. If
non academic sources are used, follow the structured approach
below to justify the source.
Once you have found an original source, you must evaluate it.
Here are some key questions to answer that may make a great
introduction in your paper for the support as well:
· Who is the author?
· Do their educational and experience credentials support
their ability to express an opinion on the subject?
· Has the research been peer-reviewed or through an
editorial process?
· What types of bias may be present?
· Who else has a contrary opinion on the subject and what
are their credentials?
· How old is the material and is it still relevant

IP Guidelines
To achieve "A" level work you will need to cite authority
beyond the
authors of the text and bring in citations from other sources. A
diverse viewpoint will be required showing ability to integrate
17. resource materials. The paper will need to be free of grammar,
spelling, and punctuation errors. The Online Library is a great
place to search for material on the topics of this class and use as
references to your papers. Be sure to cite the references in the
text and detail the citing in the reference section.

Essay Guidelines
To achieve “B” level work you will need to comply with the
requirements of “C” level work and show some degree of
integration of multiple authors’ material. The integration of
material will provide insight beyond the points discussed in the
textbook.
To achieve “C” level work you will need to comply with all
assignment requirements and answer each question with the
appropriate points from the textbook. A good approach would
be to paraphrase material from the assigned weekly reading
(including articles referred to in the weekly assignments) and
integrate the material by paraphrasing the information. Supply
at least 4 references.
