Contemporary Research Topics in International Business

 
I don’t know how to send you a ppt!!!
Design your own research question and write a 2,200 word research paper.

Different speakers present their own point of view on their chosen topic in lectures. However, the broad literature might include alternative, sometimes conflicting, viewpoints. Choose a topic that is directly related to at least one speaker’s presentation in the current module LUBS3815 but NOT to your dissertation in LUBS3321. Review the debate in the extant literature and discuss whether you agree with the speaker(s)’s viewpoint and arguments. The final full research paper should provide a comprehensive account of arguments and counter arguments and concludes with a reflection of the limitation of the existing research. As research should be of relevance to user communities用户群 such as policymakers and managers, the conclusion of the full paper should also include a discussion of the policy and/or practical relevance of the chosen research topic.

Summative assessment: The final assessment takes the form of a full research paper. The structure of the research paper should contain:
The project title highlighting what the research paper is about.
Introduction
Literature review including the explanation of competing or complementing viewpoints of your chosen research topic and the full evaluation of past and present debates.
Conclusion including a reflection on the limitation of the extant research and the policy and/or practical relevance of the chosen research topic.
The final full paper will be marked according to the following criteria:

Quality of presentation including accuracy and appropriateness of referencing/citation and quality of proof reading
Understanding and applying theories, with the evidence of wide reading and critical engagement of academic papers and a demonstration of

Sexual Relationships between Students and Educators: The Ethical Issues

For the references the first part of the paper has 5 so after you read the first part maybe you can use some of the same references. but make sure to use ‘Koocher, G. P., & Keith-Spiegel, P. (2008). Ethics in psychology and the mental health professions: Standards and cases. Oxford: Oxford University Press.” as one of your sources.
Case Study Vignette
Case Study Vignette After an affair between Gary Goferit, Ph.D., and Paula had ended, Jettison filed charges against Goferit for sexual harassment and exploitation. She also contacted the local news-papers, which ran the story. She was joined by several other students who claimed that they too had experienced harassment and exploitation by Goferit. Ultimately, Dr. Goferit lost his wife and his job the contemporary popular press relishes stories like this, and even sophisticated academic publications, such as the Chronicle of Higher Education, feature them regularly. We collected dozens of articles from the popular press, several involving mental health and social science educators, from which to adapt our cases. Students also have greater vulnerability than they may appreciate. At the time, some may see their relationship with professors as exciting, possibly even putting them on the fast rungs up the career ladder, only to later find themselves discarded and frozen out.

So for this assignment I will attach the first part of the paper which is the
1. Title Page
2. Case Study Analysis Abstract
3. Detailed Case Study Vignette Description
4. The Ethical Conflict
What I need for you to do is read the case study Vignette along with the attachment that I have provided. For elements 5 and 6, you will list and define each principle and standard in an organized fashion. You will then emphasize (highlight, bold, or summarize) which principle and standard could be at question in your case study vignette. For element 7, you will make a statement discussing the cultural and social considerations in your case. All cases have considerations of this kind, but they may be less obvious in some case studies. You may also choose to create a hypothetical cultural or social consideration (e.g., What if a language barrier were present in your case study vignette?) for your case if you do not think it has one. For element 9 you will list the eight-step ethical decision-making model and apply the eight-step ethical decision-making model to analyze your case study vignette’s ethical conflict. You will develop an ethical strategy to address the ethical issues you identified in Milestone Three and which you could use to resolve your case’s ethical conflict. After working with the eight-step decision-making model, you will identify an alternative decision-making model to analyze your case study vignette’s ethical conflict. Besides discussing ethical decision-making models to resolve your case study vignette’s ethical conflict, you will also look at additional considerations for the ethical conflict. Address whether or not dual relationships or multiple-role relationships were present in your case study. If they are present, detail their importance in problem solving a dilemma. If they are not present, provide a statement that shows you understand what these standards are and their importance in all psychology disciplines. Expand upon element 7 and explain how you considered diversity issues, social concerns, multicultural considerations, and equality in your problem solving of an ethics dilemma.
Please follow the format highlighted below when doing this assignment.

5. The APA Code of Ethics Principles
a. Identify and define all five principles
b. Highlight, bold, or summarize all that might apply to your case study vignette’s ethical conflict
c. Justify why highlighted or bolded principles apply to your case study vignette’s ethical conflict

n primary care settings, patients often present with abdominal pain. Although this is frequently a sign of a gastrointestinal (GI) disorder, abdominal pain could also be the result of other systemic disorders, making this type of pain difficult to assess. While abdominal pain is most common, many other GI symptoms also overlap multiple disorders, further increasing the difficulty in diagnosing and treating patients. This makes provider-patient communication essential. You must be able to formulate questions that will prompt the patient to provide the necessary information, as this will guide your assessment and diagnosis. For this Discussion, consider potential diagnoses for the patients in the following case studies.
Case Study 1:
A 49-year-old man presents to the office complaining of vague abdominal discomfort over the past few days. He states he does not feel like eating and has not moved his bowels for the last 2 days. His patient medical history includes an appendectomy at age 22 and borderline hypertension, which he is trying to control with diet and exercise. He takes no medications and has no known allergies. Positive physical exam findings include a temperature of 99.9 degrees Fahrenheit, heart rate of 98, respiratory rate of 24, and blood pressure of 150/72. The abdominal exam reveals abdominal distention, diminished bowel sounds, and lower left quadrant tenderness without rebound.
Think about a differential diagnosis. Consider the role the patient history and physical exam played in diagnosis.
Reflect on potential treatment options based on your diagnosis.

3-1 Discussion: Production Theory

 
Please use the uploaded Book for the reading, and material as well. Please also use 2 references for the writing.

3-1 Discussion: Production Theory (Chapter 5)
Explore how a firm determines the optimal scale of a plant for a given rate of output and why this determination relates to “longer-run strategies” versus “current operations”.
Also, discuss the differences between “economies of scale” and “economies of scope” and how firms can benefit from each.
Then, provide a specific company example of economics of scale or economics of scope and how it affects production and cost or how technology affects the inputs and costs. Conduct research and use specific examples.
