Many people believe that the use of biometrics is an invasion of privacy. For example, an eye scanning device records the inner structure of a person’s eye and stores that image in a database. Critics worry that databases of human traits used to maintain corporate security may actually pose a privacy threat to individuals, if such data were used in other ways. In your view, are such concerns justified? Why or why not? .

Martin Wolf MARCH 24 2020 The coronavirus seeks only t.docx
Martin Wolf MARCH 24 2020
The coronavirus seeks only to replicate. We seek to halt that replication. Unlike the virus, humans make
choices. This pandemic will pass into history. But the way in which it passes will shape the world it leaves
behind. It is the first such pandemic for a century. And it comes to a world that — unlike in 1918, when
the Spanish flu hit — has been at peace and enjoys unprecedented wealth. We should be able to
manage it well. If we do not do so, this will be a turning point for the worse. Making the right decisions
requires that we understand the options and their moral implications. We now confront two
fundamental sets of choices: within our countries and across borders. In high-income countries, the
biggest choice is how aggressively to halt transmission of the virus. But we also need to decide who will
bear the costs of that choice and how. Some continue to argue that it is wrong to force the economy
into a depression to suppress transmission of the virus. This, they suggest, will cause unnecessary
disruption. If, instead, the virus is left to spread relatively freely, we can achieve “herd immunity”,
sustain the economy and still focus resources on the vulnerable. Yet it is not clear that the economy
would fare better under this relatively laissez faire “mitigation” policy than under one of determined
“suppression”. Long before government-imposed lockdowns, many people stopped travelling or going
to restaurants, cinemas or shops. Decisive action to suppress the virus and follow up with testing and
tracking of new infections could well end the inevitable economic slump even sooner than otherwise.
What seems quite certain is the global health system would fare much better under suppression than
mitigation. Under the latter, argues the Imperial College Covid-19 Response Team, the health systems of
the UK and US would be overwhelmed: large numbers of predominantly old people would be left to die
untreated. It was presumably to prevent this from happening across China that the government
suppressed the virus so fiercely in Hubei. Could a health calamity that is unacceptable in China be
acceptable in the UK or US? Yet the critics are also right: it will be impossible to close large parts of our
economies for very long. If suppression is to be tried, it must be successful quickly and resurgence of the
virus must be throttled. Meanwhile, central banks and governments must seek to keep as much of the
economy going as possible, preserve as much productive capacity intact as possible and ensure that the
people, above all the vulnerable, are generously protected in whatever way a country finds practical.
The solidarity between countries needs to be as strong as within them. The financial instability and
looming recession (probably depression) we see coming will inflict huge harm on emerging and
developing countries. The IMF states that investors have already removed $83.

Marys one year old daughter is due to be given the Measles, Mum.docx
Mary's one year old daughter is due to be given the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine during her next visit to the doctor. Mary is upset and concerned because one of her friend's sons became ill after a similar vaccination. She has also heard rumors that MMR vaccine causes rubella. Mary was also told that her daughter will need to be vaccinated before Mary returns to work. Mary is not alone. Many parents face this issue. Therefore, it is important for Mary and all such parents to make decisions that are best for their children, based on facts and not emotions. Place yourself in the role of a health care worker, submit to the discussion area your plan to validate the importance of vaccination by addressing the following questions:
Why are vaccinations necessary components of the healthcare programs?
Are there reasons for people not being vaccinated despite of such elaborate healthcare programs? Explain.
What are the consequences of people not being vaccinated?
What is the impact of religious, cultural, legal, and ethical issues that parents need to consider before vaccination?
What type of information will help the parents make an informed decision about vaccinating their children?
As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

MBA 665 Final Project Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: The final project for this course is the creation of an impact of governmental action on a business paper. For Milestone Three you will submit the
Analysis section of your final project, which is Section II of the critical elements. Your analysis should include answers to all the questions in the Analysis section
on business environment, sustainability, internal resources, communication, company image, response, impact, and external resources.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Analysis: After submitting your overview, your boss is having second thoughts about bringing Jack Harris and his firm, Crisis Consulting, on board. Before
he makes his final decision he has asked you to provide him with a thorough analysis of the situation faced by your business. He asks you to prepare a
memorandum to him (the CEO) analyzing the situation that your business faces as well as the resources that are available to it. Address the following:
A. Business Environment: Based on your analysis of the governmental action or political challenge, what will be the impact of the governmental
action or political challenge on the business’s financial situation and operations? Does the action represent an opportunity or a threat?
B. Sustainability: Based on your analysis of the governmental action or political challenge, how will the governmental action or political challenge
impact the sustainability of the business?
C. Internal Resources: Evaluate the internal resources of the company, including the business project teams that are available to respond to the
opportunity or threat. In other words, is the business adequately organized to address the opportunity or threat?
D. Communication: How has information about the situation been communicated to various stakeholders? For example, have any public hearings
been held? Have the radio, newspapers, or social media been used?
E. Company Image: Assess how the situation has affected the company’s public image. Has the impact been primarily positive or negative? If the
impact has been primarily negative, what are the positive aspects in addition to the negative aspects? If the impact has been primarily positive,
what are the negative aspects in addition to the positive aspects?
F. Response: What are the potential courses of action to respond to the situation in the current macroeconomic and business environment? In
other words, what is the range of options for the business in this situation?
G. Impact: How will these courses of action impact the business? Make sure to consider both short- and long-term impacts, including operational,
financial, and ethical implications.
H. External Resources: Evaluate the roles and functions of third parties or external resources in the situation. Consider questions such as these in
your response: How will lobbyists be involved in the situation? .

MBA 599 – Strategic Management Case Project This capsto.docx
MBA 599 – Strategic Management Case Project
This capstone course requires each student to construct a detailed and well-thought-out analysis of a
business employing all the relevant strategic analysis tools studied in the course. This project will take the
full term to complete. It is our sincere hope that you will find this project to be the most rewarding effort in
your educational career.
Project Overview
This course is designed to help you develop strategic skills that can be used in management. The
process of strategic planning is an iterative cycle of research and analysis, ending with a series of choices
about what will be attempted and how it will be approached. The most tangible output is the strategic
planning document. The most important output is the increased understanding that the participants
acquire. Accordingly, the assessment of the final project will be heavily dependent on the quality of the
strategic thinking inside that polished report. Students that focus on the expeditious completion of the
steps may find that they have shortchanged the important and time-consuming exploration and thinking
that is necessary to create a quality strategic case. Since not all tools can tell the planner which factors
and alternatives are important to consider, the planner should pull in as much diverse information and
perspectives as possible. Additionally, you should put yourselves in the competitor’s shoes and consider
how the “game” will play out. Your homework and subsequent improvements are intended to become a
primary basis for the exploration and questioning that drives your strategic understanding and creative
ideas. In addition, it is important to test your strategic thinking and your use of analytical tools in
preparation for your final project.
Tips for Selecting an Organization
As you select an organization for your class project, it is important that you select one that is interesting,
possibly useful to you in your career, industry, or interests, and allows you to explore strategic challenges
in a meaningful way. If you select the industry in which you currently work, you must address two critical
issues: (1) integrating and clearly citing existing information. (You will need to delineate work you’ve
contributed as opposed to pre-existing information), and (2) succinctly presenting existing information
while adding new insight, analysis, and plans that substantially add to strategy development,
implementation, and/or assessment of the organization. An organization or industry you are interested in
should give you better access to information although you need to pay careful attention to the points
made above.
Do not underestimate the degree to which you will need to be an expert in the selected industry and
related areas. It is impossible to create a strategy without understanding the terms, technologies, market
changes, and so forth in great depth. A.
MBA 640 Final Project Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric .docx
MBA 640 Final Project Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: The final project for this course is the creation of an external capital funding proposal.
Most businesses face a landscape of uncertainty and a never-ending stream of risks and opportunities. Managers must continually project the likely financial
impact of decisions, make recommendations, act on those decisions, determine how to pay for them, and evaluate the costs and effectiveness of what has been
done. Many decisions are short-term, routine, and operational. Others are longer-term investment decisions that require substantial new resources, such as
developing new services, expanding into new geographic markets, or undertaking business combinations or spin-offs. Each requires managers to forecast, plan,
and make decisions based on a thorough understanding of both internal and external factors that can affect a company’s financial success.
For the summative assessment in this course, you will bring your finance and economics knowledge to bear by preparing an external capital funding proposal for
a major international investment at a publicly traded corporation. In order to secure the support of potential financial backers, your proposal will need to lay out
what the proposed investment opportunity is, how it fits within the company’s broader mission and goals, its financial impact, and the amount being requested
and why (including alternative funding mechanisms considered). In addition, it will also need to include information on the organization’s context, risk factors,
and microeconomic assumptions that could affect the success of the investment.
Prompt: Submit a paper that addresses critical element IV, Risks, of the final project. Discuss any risks that might affect the success of the project and how you
have planned for those contingencies.
Note: The risks (and opportunities) you identify should demonstrate your understanding of the company you selected, the industry, the investment project you
are proposing, and your project’s country and timing. Your estimates of financial impacts will be only preliminary; you will most likely revise them in your final
submission at the end of Module Nine.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Section IV Risks:
1. Internal. What are the company’s most significant internal risks and opportunities related to the project? How might they affect your financial estimates
and how will you address them? Support your response with specific examples.
2. External. How will you address significant qualitative risks outside the company that might affect project success? Give specific examples. For example,
how might culture or politics in the target country affect the proposed investment’s financial success? Natural disasters? How have you planned for
these risks?
3. Microeconomic. Assess the microeconomic factors that might affect decisions about the proposed investment. .

MasubenPrivate equity firm can be very helpful for a company’s g.docx
Masuben
Private equity firm can be very helpful for a company’s growth as its money helps in various restructuring of the company as large amounts of funding are invested in the company . It could be very helpful in developing companies' growth from grass root level. As optimum money is invested the production of goods will be more and retailers will get the product on time. Also as money is invested in advancement of technology the cost of production can be low so the retailers could make some more profit and manufacturers can make the product much quicker. As private equity holders are more concerned about their money they are actively involved in business to maximise the value. As the funding is major the return on investment will be huge which can be very helpful for manufacturers and retailers.(Piloto Sincerre, B., Sampaio, J., Famá, R., & Flores, E. S. 2019)
As every coin has two sides, sometimes private equity has its own downside. The biggest threat is to manufacturers as it can lose its ownership. As with private equity, more money is involved in business which leads to loss of a larger share of the business as private equity firms always take the larger majority stake of the business. As a private equity holder becomes actively involved in business, sometimes they overpower the management decision like hiring, business strategy, business decisions and other valuable management responsibilities. The main mission of equity holders is to generate revenue on their investment which might lead to unethical activities as larger money is involved. Also as production is increased there might be more pressure on retailers to sell the item as supply of goods will be more and demand is low.(BACON, N., WRIGHT, M., MEULEMAN, M., & SCHOLES, L. 2012) As larger money is involved the business can grow rapidly across the countries so to conclude private equity can help in growing business more.

Private equity refers to capital that is not traded publicly. The acquisition of public manufacturing and retail firms, therefore, refers to privatization. Part of the entire firm is purchased by a high net worth individual or firm that aims at controlling it. This mostly involves buying the shares of the firm. This is mostly done by institutional investors such as pension funds and equity private firms (Chen, et al., 2020). This kind of acquisition has several effects on the firm. Some of these effects are outlined below.
a)
Huge amounts of funding
The process of private equity acquisition provides firms with a lot of capital that can transform their operations if properly budgeted for and utilized.
b)
Investor Involvement
As a result of the huge amounts of money invested by the institutional investors into the firms, they are actively involved in the operations of the firm to ensure maximization of value as opposed to other options of funding which allow for limited involvement by the lenders.
c)

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

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

Marketing Excellence Nike
Nike hit the ground running in 1962. Originally known as Blue Ribbon Sports, the company focused on providing high-quality running shoes designed for athletes by athletes. Founder Philip Knight believed high-tech shoes for runners could be manufactured at competitive prices if imported from abroad. Nike’s commitment to designing innovative footwear for serious athletes helped build a cult following among U.S. consumers.
Nike believed in a “pyramid of influence” where the preferences of a small percentage of top athletes influenced the product and brand choices of others. Nike’s marketing campaigns have always featured accomplished athletes. For example, runner Steve Prefontaine, the company’s first spokesperson, had an irreverent attitude that matched Nike’s spirit.
In 1985, Nike signed up then-rookie guard Michael Jordan as a spokesperson. Jordan was still an up-and-comer, but he personified superior performance. Nike’s bet paid off—the Air Jordan line of basketball shoes flew off the shelves and revenues hit more than $100 million in the first year alone. As one reporter stated, “Few marketers have so reliably been able to identify and sign athletes who transcend their sports to such great effect.”
In 1988, Nike aired the first ads in its $20 million “Just Do It” ad campaign. The campaign, which ultimately featured 12 TV spots in all, subtly challenged a generation of athletic enthusiasts to chase their goals. It was a natural manifestation of Nike’s attitude of self-empowerment through sports.
As Nike began expanding overseas, the company learned that its U.S.-style ads were seen as too aggressive in Europe, Asia, and South America. Nike realized it had to “authenticate” its brand in other countries, so it focused on soccer (called football outside the United States) and became active as a sponsor of youth leagues, local clubs, and national teams. However, for Nike to build authenticity among the soccer audience, consumers had to see professional athletes using its product, especially athletes who won.
Nike’s big break came in 1994 when the Brazilian team (the only national team for which Nike had any real sponsorship) won the World Cup. That victory transformed Nike’s international image from a sneaker company into a brand that represented emotion, allegiance, and identification. Nike’s new alliance with soccer helped propel the brand’s growth internationally. In 2003, overseas revenues surpassed U.S. revenues for the first time, and in 2007, Nike acquired Umbro, a British maker of soccer-related footwear, apparel, and equipment. The acquisition made Nike the sole supplier to more than 100 professional soccer teams around the world and boosted Nike’s international presence and authenticity in soccer. The company sold Umbro in 2012 for $225 million.
In recent years, Nike’s international efforts have been focused on emerging markets. During the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Nike honed in on China and deve.
Mark and Jacqueline have been married for 30 years. They have grown .docx
Mark and Jacqueline have been married for 30 years. They have grown children who live in another state. Jacqueline’s mother has moved in with the couple because she has Alzheimer’s disease. Jacqueline is an only child and always promised her mother that she would care for her in her old age. Her mother is unaware of her surroundings and often calls out for her daughter Jackie when Jacqueline is in the room. Jacqueline reassures her mother that she is there to help, but to no avail. Jacqueline is unable to visit her children on holidays because she must attend to her mother’s daily needs. She is reluctant to visit friends or even go out to a movie because of her mother’s care needs or because she is too tired. Even though she has eliminated most leisure activities with Mark, Jacqueline goes to bed at night with many of her caregiving tasks unfinished. She tries to visit with her mother during the day, but her mother rejects any contact with her daughter. Planning for the upcoming holidays seems impossible to Mark, because of his wife’s inability to focus on anything except her mother’s care. Jacqueline has difficulty sleeping at night and is unable to discuss plans even a few days in advance. She is unable to visit friends and is reluctant to have friends visit because of the unpredictable behavior of her mother and her need to attend to the daily care. Reflective Questions 1. How do you think this situation reflects Jacqueline’s sense of role performance? 2. How do you think that Jacqueline may be contributing to her own health?

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

MARGARET: Y'know--your brother Gooper still cherishes the illusion he took a giant step up on the social
ladder when he married Miss Mae Flynn of the Memphis Flynns. . .and as for Mae having been a cotton
carnival queen, as they remind us so often, lest we forget, well, that's one honour that I don't envy her
for!--Sit on a brass throne on a tacky float an' ride down Main Street, smilin', bowin', and blowin' kisses
to all the trash on the street…Why, year before last, when Susan McPheeters was singled out fo' that
honour, y'know what happened to her? Y'know what happened to poor little Susie McPheeters?
BRICK [absently]: No. What happened to little Susie McPheeters?
MARGARET: Somebody spit tobacco juice in her face.
BRICK [dreamily]: Somebody spit tobacco juice in her face?
MARGARET: That's right, some old drunk leaned out of a window in the Hotel Gayoso and yelled, 'Hey,
Queen, hey, hey there, Queenie!' Poor Susie looked up and flashed him a radiant smile and he shot out a
squirt of tobacco juice right in poor Susie's face.
BRICK: Well, what d'you know about that.
MARGARET [gaily]: What do I know about it? I was there, I saw it!
BRICK [absently]: Must have been kind of funny.
MARGARET: Susie didn't think so. Had hysterics. Screamed like a banshee. They had to stop th' parade
an' remove her from her throne an' go on with-- [She catches sight of him in the mirror, gasps slightly,
wheels about to face him. Count ten.] Why are you looking at me like that?
BRICK [whistling softly, now]: Like what, Maggie?
MARGARET [intensely, fearfully]: The way y' were lookin' at me just now, befo' I caught your eye in the
mirror and you started t' whistle! I don't know how t' describe it but it froze my blood!--I've caught you
lookin' at me like that so often lately. What are you thinkin' of when you look at me like that?
BRICK: I wasn't conscious of lookin' at you, Maggie.
MARGARET: Well, I was conscious of it! What were you thinkin'?
BRICK: I don't remember thinking of anything, Maggie.
MARGARET: Don't you think I know that--? Don't you--?--Think I know that--?
BRICK [coolly]: Know what, Maggie?
MARGARET [struggling for expression]: That I've gone through this--hideous!-- transformation, become--
hard! Frantic! [Then she adds, almost tenderly:] --cruel!! That's what you've been observing in me lately.
How could y' help but observe it? That's all right. I'm not--thin-skinned any more, can't afford t' be thin-
skinned any more. [She is now recovering her power.] --But Brick? Brick?
BRICK: Did you say something?
MARGARET: I was goin' t' say something--that I get--lonely.--Very!
BRICK: Ev'rybody gets that... MARGARET: Living with someone you love can be lonelier--than living

Many Westerners engage in a high degree of ethnocentrism which i.docx
Many Westerners engage in a high degree of ethnocentrism which is the belief that one's own culture is superior to all others and that their culture's way of thinking about the world or doing things is the only correct way. Exceptionalism is evident in the belief that people from other cultures are "under-developed", "primitive", or "savages". Western educational systems generally teach from an "Eurocentric" perspective which means students are mostly exposed to the ideas of old,rich,white,straight,often long-dead men. The social theories that underpin the discipline of global health are no exception. The ideas from amazing scholars from the 84% of the world that is non-Western are not regularly presented to students.
We will be critically analyzing how Western ethnocentrism and exceptionalism regularly creates problems in global health work. Some of the problematic Western ethnocentric and exceptionalist ideas we will consider are: 1) "Doing something is always better than doing nothing", 2) "I want to be a voice for the voiceless", 3) "Impoverished people in developing countries always want our help", 4) "Westerners know best how to help impoverished people in developing countries" and 5) " People in impoverished countries, who are closest to the problems, are not well-educated and are therefore not capable of developing their own solutions".
Module Learning Objectives
By the completion of this module, the student should be able to do the following:
Critically analyze and reflect on ideas that challenge the notion of Western ethnocentrism and exceptionalism.
Critically analyze and reflect on the effects of Western ethnocentrism on global health work.

MBA 599 – Strategic Management Case Project This capsto.docx
MBA 599 – Strategic Management Case Project
This capstone course requires each student to construct a detailed and well-thought-out analysis of a
business employing all the relevant strategic analysis tools studied in the course. This project will take the
full term to complete. It is our sincere hope that you will find this project to be the most rewarding effort in
your educational career.
Project Overview
This course is designed to help you develop strategic skills that can be used in management. The
process of strategic planning is an iterative cycle of research and analysis, ending with a series of choices
about what will be attempted and how it will be approached. The most tangible output is the strategic
planning document. The most important output is the increased understanding that the participants
acquire. Accordingly, the assessment of the final project will be heavily dependent on the quality of the
strategic thinking inside that polished report. Students that focus on the expeditious completion of the
steps may find that they have shortchanged the important and time-consuming exploration and thinking
that is necessary to create a quality strategic case. Since not all tools can tell the planner which factors
and alternatives are important to consider, the planner should pull in as much diverse information and
perspectives as possible. Additionally, you should put yourselves in the competitor’s shoes and consider
how the “game” will play out. Your homework and subsequent improvements are intended to become a
primary basis for the exploration and questioning that drives your strategic understanding and creative
ideas. In addition, it is important to test your strategic thinking and your use of analytical tools in
preparation for your final project.
Tips for Selecting an Organization
As you select an organization for your class project, it is important that you select one that is interesting,
possibly useful to you in your career, industry, or interests, and allows you to explore strategic challenges
in a meaningful way. If you select the industry in which you currently work, you must address two critical
issues: (1) integrating and clearly citing existing information. (You will need to delineate work you’ve
contributed as opposed to pre-existing information), and (2) succinctly presenting existing information
while adding new insight, analysis, and plans that substantially add to strategy development,
implementation, and/or assessment of the organization. An organization or industry you are interested in
should give you better access to information although you need to pay careful attention to the points
made above.
Do not underestimate the degree to which you will need to be an expert in the selected industry and
related areas. It is impossible to create a strategy without understanding the terms, technologies, market
changes, and so forth in great depth. A.
MBA 640 Final Project Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric .docx
MBA 640 Final Project Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Overview: The final project for this course is the creation of an external capital funding proposal.
Most businesses face a landscape of uncertainty and a never-ending stream of risks and opportunities. Managers must continually project the likely financial
impact of decisions, make recommendations, act on those decisions, determine how to pay for them, and evaluate the costs and effectiveness of what has been
done. Many decisions are short-term, routine, and operational. Others are longer-term investment decisions that require substantial new resources, such as
developing new services, expanding into new geographic markets, or undertaking business combinations or spin-offs. Each requires managers to forecast, plan,
and make decisions based on a thorough understanding of both internal and external factors that can affect a company’s financial success.
For the summative assessment in this course, you will bring your finance and economics knowledge to bear by preparing an external capital funding proposal for
a major international investment at a publicly traded corporation. In order to secure the support of potential financial backers, your proposal will need to lay out
what the proposed investment opportunity is, how it fits within the company’s broader mission and goals, its financial impact, and the amount being requested
and why (including alternative funding mechanisms considered). In addition, it will also need to include information on the organization’s context, risk factors,
and microeconomic assumptions that could affect the success of the investment.
Prompt: Submit a paper that addresses critical element IV, Risks, of the final project. Discuss any risks that might affect the success of the project and how you
have planned for those contingencies.
Note: The risks (and opportunities) you identify should demonstrate your understanding of the company you selected, the industry, the investment project you
are proposing, and your project’s country and timing. Your estimates of financial impacts will be only preliminary; you will most likely revise them in your final
submission at the end of Module Nine.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Section IV Risks:
1. Internal. What are the company’s most significant internal risks and opportunities related to the project? How might they affect your financial estimates
and how will you address them? Support your response with specific examples.
2. External. How will you address significant qualitative risks outside the company that might affect project success? Give specific examples. For example,
how might culture or politics in the target country affect the proposed investment’s financial success? Natural disasters? How have you planned for
these risks?
3. Microeconomic. Assess the microeconomic factors that might affect decisions about the proposed investment. .

Private equity firm can be very helpful for a company’s growth as its money helps in various restructuring of the company as large amounts of funding are invested in the company . It could be very helpful in developing companies' growth from grass root level. As optimum money is invested the production of goods will be more and retailers will get the product on time. Also as money is invested in advancement of technology the cost of production can be low so the retailers could make some more profit and manufacturers can make the product much quicker. As private equity holders are more concerned about their money they are actively involved in business to maximise the value. As the funding is major the return on investment will be huge which can be very helpful for manufacturers and retailers.(Piloto Sincerre, B., Sampaio, J., Famá, R., & Flores, E. S. 2019)
As every coin has two sides, sometimes private equity has its own downside. The biggest threat is to manufacturers as it can lose its ownership. As with private equity, more money is involved in business which leads to loss of a larger share of the business as private equity firms always take the larger majority stake of the business. As a private equity holder becomes actively involved in business, sometimes they overpower the management decision like hiring, business strategy, business decisions and other valuable management responsibilities. The main mission of equity holders is to generate revenue on their investment which might lead to unethical activities as larger money is involved. Also as production is increased there might be more pressure on retailers to sell the item as supply of goods will be more and demand is low.(BACON, N., WRIGHT, M., MEULEMAN, M., & SCHOLES, L. 2012) As larger money is involved the business can grow rapidly across the countries so to conclude private equity can help in growing business more.

Private equity refers to capital that is not traded publicly. The acquisition of public manufacturing and retail firms, therefore, refers to privatization. Part of the entire firm is purchased by a high net worth individual or firm that aims at controlling it. This mostly involves buying the shares of the firm. This is mostly done by institutional investors such as pension funds and equity private firms (Chen, et al., 2020). This kind of acquisition has several effects on the firm. Some of these effects are outlined below.
a)
Huge amounts of funding
The process of private equity acquisition provides firms with a lot of capital that can transform their operations if properly budgeted for and utilized.
b)
Investor Involvement
As a result of the huge amounts of money invested by the institutional investors into the firms, they are actively involved in the operations of the firm to ensure maximization of value as opposed to other options of funding which allow for limited involvement by the lenders.
c)

Topic – Causes of Death in 1980 and 2016
According to the 1980 Census, the United States population was approximately 226,540,000 in 1980. It grew to approximately 323,120,000 at the beginning of 2016. Using Census data for 1980 and estimates derived from mortality data for 2016, we arrive at the population estimates given in the table below:
Year
Total Population
Ages 15–24
Ages 25–44
Ages 45–64
1980
226,540,000
42,475,000
62,707,000

2016
323,120,000
43,500,000
85,150,000
84,300,000
The National Center for Health Statistics published a document entitled “Health, United States, 2015: With Special Feature on Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities” that includes a table listing the leading causes of death in 1980 by age bracket. The CDC further produced a National Vital Statistics Reports that provided similar information for the year 2016. Under the Project Instructions link in Blackboard, you’ll find Discussion Board Forum 2: Data, a spreadsheet showing the leading causes of death in both 1980 and 2016 for these 3 age categories. Each of the first 3 questions has both a computational part and a discussion part. To get full credit for each of the discussion parts, please cite a reference to support your claims. This should not be an excessively difficult task: you can easily find information online for most of the illnesses or other causes listed in the report. All you need to do is provide the website you used (though other resources are also permitted if you prefer to use one of those).
1. Assuming that the population numbers in the above table are relatively accurate, use the Discussion Board Forum 2: Data spreadsheet to compute the deaths per 1000 people for each age group in both 1980 and 2016. Deaths per 1000 people is computed using the formula Deaths per 1000 = (# of deaths) / (total population) Do not round your answer to the nearest whole number, provide at least 2 decimal places (but no more than 4). Give these 6 values (e.g. deaths per 1000 people for ages 15–24 in 1980) and then cite a reference to discuss what might account for the changes between the deaths per 1000 in 1 of these 3 age categories between 1980 and 2016. Your discussion should be at least 40 words.
2. Besides the changes in the overall death rate in the past 3 decades, the leading causes of death vary somewhat between 1980 and 2016. Choose 1 of the 3 age ranges and select 1 cause of death from the Discussion Board Forum 2: Data spreadsheet that strikes you as noteworthy and that appears in both the 1980 and 2016 lists. For the cause of death that you selected, compute the number of deaths per 1000 in both 1980 and 2016 for your chosen age group. Do not round your answer to the nearest whole number,.

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

Marketing Excellence Nike
Nike hit the ground running in 1962. Originally known as Blue Ribbon Sports, the company focused on providing high-quality running shoes designed for athletes by athletes. Founder Philip Knight believed high-tech shoes for runners could be manufactured at competitive prices if imported from abroad. Nike’s commitment to designing innovative footwear for serious athletes helped build a cult following among U.S. consumers.
Nike believed in a “pyramid of influence” where the preferences of a small percentage of top athletes influenced the product and brand choices of others. Nike’s marketing campaigns have always featured accomplished athletes. For example, runner Steve Prefontaine, the company’s first spokesperson, had an irreverent attitude that matched Nike’s spirit.
In 1985, Nike signed up then-rookie guard Michael Jordan as a spokesperson. Jordan was still an up-and-comer, but he personified superior performance. Nike’s bet paid off—the Air Jordan line of basketball shoes flew off the shelves and revenues hit more than $100 million in the first year alone. As one reporter stated, “Few marketers have so reliably been able to identify and sign athletes who transcend their sports to such great effect.”
In 1988, Nike aired the first ads in its $20 million “Just Do It” ad campaign. The campaign, which ultimately featured 12 TV spots in all, subtly challenged a generation of athletic enthusiasts to chase their goals. It was a natural manifestation of Nike’s attitude of self-empowerment through sports.
As Nike began expanding overseas, the company learned that its U.S.-style ads were seen as too aggressive in Europe, Asia, and South America. Nike realized it had to “authenticate” its brand in other countries, so it focused on soccer (called football outside the United States) and became active as a sponsor of youth leagues, local clubs, and national teams. However, for Nike to build authenticity among the soccer audience, consumers had to see professional athletes using its product, especially athletes who won.
Nike’s big break came in 1994 when the Brazilian team (the only national team for which Nike had any real sponsorship) won the World Cup. That victory transformed Nike’s international image from a sneaker company into a brand that represented emotion, allegiance, and identification. Nike’s new alliance with soccer helped propel the brand’s growth internationally. In 2003, overseas revenues surpassed U.S. revenues for the first time, and in 2007, Nike acquired Umbro, a British maker of soccer-related footwear, apparel, and equipment. The acquisition made Nike the sole supplier to more than 100 professional soccer teams around the world and boosted Nike’s international presence and authenticity in soccer. The company sold Umbro in 2012 for $225 million.
In recent years, Nike’s international efforts have been focused on emerging markets. During the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Nike honed in on China and deve.
Mark and Jacqueline have been married for 30 years. They have grown .docx
Mark and Jacqueline have been married for 30 years. They have grown children who live in another state. Jacqueline’s mother has moved in with the couple because she has Alzheimer’s disease. Jacqueline is an only child and always promised her mother that she would care for her in her old age. Her mother is unaware of her surroundings and often calls out for her daughter Jackie when Jacqueline is in the room. Jacqueline reassures her mother that she is there to help, but to no avail. Jacqueline is unable to visit her children on holidays because she must attend to her mother’s daily needs. She is reluctant to visit friends or even go out to a movie because of her mother’s care needs or because she is too tired. Even though she has eliminated most leisure activities with Mark, Jacqueline goes to bed at night with many of her caregiving tasks unfinished. She tries to visit with her mother during the day, but her mother rejects any contact with her daughter. Planning for the upcoming holidays seems impossible to Mark, because of his wife’s inability to focus on anything except her mother’s care. Jacqueline has difficulty sleeping at night and is unable to discuss plans even a few days in advance. She is unable to visit friends and is reluctant to have friends visit because of the unpredictable behavior of her mother and her need to attend to the daily care. Reflective Questions 1. How do you think this situation reflects Jacqueline’s sense of role performance? 2. How do you think that Jacqueline may be contributing to her own health?

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

Many Westerners engage in a high degree of ethnocentrism which i.docx
Many Westerners engage in a high degree of ethnocentrism which is the belief that one's own culture is superior to all others and that their culture's way of thinking about the world or doing things is the only correct way. Exceptionalism is evident in the belief that people from other cultures are "under-developed", "primitive", or "savages". Western educational systems generally teach from an "Eurocentric" perspective which means students are mostly exposed to the ideas of old,rich,white,straight,often long-dead men. The social theories that underpin the discipline of global health are no exception. The ideas from amazing scholars from the 84% of the world that is non-Western are not regularly presented to students.
We will be critically analyzing how Western ethnocentrism and exceptionalism regularly creates problems in global health work. Some of the problematic Western ethnocentric and exceptionalist ideas we will consider are: 1) "Doing something is always better than doing nothing", 2) "I want to be a voice for the voiceless", 3) "Impoverished people in developing countries always want our help", 4) "Westerners know best how to help impoverished people in developing countries" and 5) " People in impoverished countries, who are closest to the problems, are not well-educated and are therefore not capable of developing their own solutions".
Module Learning Objectives
By the completion of this module, the student should be able to do the following:
Critically analyze and reflect on ideas that challenge the notion of Western ethnocentrism and exceptionalism.
Critically analyze and reflect on the effects of Western ethnocentrism on global health work.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.

- 1. Many people believe that the use of biometrics is an invasion of privacy. For example, an eye scanning device records the inner structure of a person’s eye and stores that image in a database. Critics worry that databases of human traits used to maintain corporate security may actually pose a privacy threat to individuals, if such data were used in other ways. In your view, are such concerns justified? Why or why not?
