Nestlé Combats China Food Scandals
by Dexter Roberts
Business Week
October 31, 2008
The article, “Nestle Combats China Food Scandal” attempts to examines the link between the 2008 food safety scare in China and drastic actions

multinationals have taken in an effort to calm skittish consumers. China, with a population of roughly 1.3 billion, is a key market for major

international players such as Wal-Mart, Nestle, Heinz and Cadbury. Certain foods contaminated with an industrial chemical called Melamine, had these

companies pulling different food off their shelves, recalling shipments and even going as far as dumping millions into research and development

facilities. This analysis will examine why it is necessary for companies to revamp global strategies to recreate value for consumers when the

business climate becomes volatile. Last line of 1st Para introduces direction of analysis
A Global Strategy can be defined as “an organization’s strategic guide to globalization.” Source information required for quotations! This type of

strategy is typically linked to a goal to maximize long-time profitability for a company. A crucial part of achieving the strategy set out by

managers is to create value for the consumers talk about the China case – use examples of how Nestle attempted to maximize long-term profit – use

details, facts, figures.and add related info. You should use as many paragraphs as it takes to express your views clearly and thoroughly.
Ultimately, to recreate value and re-establish trust among Asian consumers these companies will be required to actively demonstrate the precautions

and improvement they are initiating. This paragraph should continue with information about Nestle (and others) …. …give more details, facts &

figures related to precautions & improvements and the importance and or effects of revamping this particular strategy..
It is inevitable that international companies dealing with food and non-perishable items will have to deal with issues regarding the safety and

quality of their products This paragraph should continue with information about the case or cases presented in the article.
Reference Roberts, Dexter. (2008) FULL REFERENCE REQUIRED

allows you to practice & improve your writing skills.

 

Mathematics Homework Assignment 6
Due in Week 7 and worth 30 points
The data in the table below is from a study conducted by an insurance company to determine the effect of
changing the process by which insurance claims are approved. The goal was to improve policyholder
satisfaction by speeding up the process and eliminating some non-value-added approval steps in the
process. The response measured was the average time required to approve and mail all claims initiated
in a week. The new procedure was tested for 12 weeks, and the results were compared to the process
performance for the 12 weeks prior to instituting the change.

1. What was the average effect of the process change? Did the process average increase or
decrease and by how much?
2. Analyze the data using the regression model y = bO + M x, where y = time to approve and
mail a claim (weekly average), x = O for the old process, and x = 1 for the new process.
3. How does this model measure the effect. of the process change?
4. How much did the process performance change on the average? (Hint: Compare the values
of M and the average of new process performance minus the average of the “performance of
the old process.)

FIVE: REVELATION PAPER
Distinguish between the different forms of revelation.
Instructions
One of the key elements of knowing God is that He reveals Himself to us.
Without that revelation we could hardly know God at all, and some would even
say we could not know Him at all. Understanding the different ways that God
reveals Himself to us is crucial to understanding who God is and how we are to
live in response to Him.
Review the section on revelation within the Bibliology chapter in the
textbook by Enns.
Consider how revelation is simply God revealing Himself to us; the real
question is how He does this.
Write a 2-3 page paper explaining the two methods that God uses to reveal
Himself to us. Give biblical examples of each type and then show
personal application of how both of these forms of revelation apply to you
today. Ensure the following points are addressed.

0 Define both types of revelation, including any subcategories.

0 Use Scripture references for both types of revelation.

O Show application of the concept of revelation to your life. (This is
not meant to be a testimony of your salvation, or any special
message you may have received, but rather, how you have noticed
the kinds of revelation as described by General and Special
Revelation discussed in Enns).

O Provide at least two academic resources.

 

 

Policy Brief on social welfare policy around deinstitutionalization and community based supports for people with disabilities and mental

illness in the U.S.

Write a social work welfare policy brief around a similar issue as your previous paper. A policy brief is (as you may have guessed)

“brief” – concise and to the point. It can take many forms, but the general format you are to use is as follows:
1. Describe a problem or issue (preferably the problem or issue you have been addressing in the preceding assignment).
2. Present and describe a few options for dealing with the problem or issue (possibly the policies or programs you identified in

Assignment 5 Discussion Board – Choosing a Social Welfare Response).
3. Present and describe your recommendations on the “best” policy or program option.
Your recommendations could involve adjustments in any of the key areas of policy analysis: social allocation (who), social provision

(what), social service delivery (how), and/or financing (by what means).
Specifically, your brief should cover the following:
1) Description of the Problem or Issue
• What is the social problem?
• What is the scope of the current problem?
• What is (are) the cause(s) to which the problem is attributed, and what are the problem’s most serious consequences?
2) Description of Options for Response
• Present and briefly describe 3-4 possible ways to address the problem you have identified through public policies or programs
o These could include policy options that have been tried in the United States or elsewhere, but could also include options that have not

been previously tried.
o These could include the policies or programs you identified in Assignment 5 Discussion Forum – Choosing a Social Welfare Response.
3) Recommendations
• What option for addressing the identified problem or issue are you recommending (could be a change to an existing policy or program or a

new policy or program)?
• In what ways is(are) your proposed response(s) better than both the status quo and other plausible options?
• Forecast how your changes might affect the social work profession.
The following link (Overview only) provides a good description of a policy brief: http://www.policy.hu/ipf/fel-pubs/samples/PolicyBrief-

described.pdf
Please note that the document linked above suggests that a policy brief be no more than 6-8 pages. Your policy brief should be 2-3 pages.
4) Format
Your policy brief should be single-spaced and in block paragraph style (please see templates below). As with any paper, all information

retrieved from a source should be cited to that source. However, you may use either traditional APA format for your sources or footnotes

or endnotes.
Please see the following sources for templates:
• http://www.slideshare.net/ruthdearnley/policy-brief-template-general
• http://www.jhsph.edu/research/centers-and-institutes/womens-and-childrens-health-policy-center/de/policy_brief/strong_brief.pdf
Due for submission on Tuesday, April 26 before 12 midnight EST.

Clashing with Western Medicine
J.T. is a 78 year old Hmong woman. She is currently experiencing extreme shortness of breath at her home. She was alone in her home. Her neighbor noticed her distress and called 911. J.T. is of Southern Chinese descent, on Medicare, and has lived in the U.S. for 45 years. EMS believes J.T. needs emergency care at a hospital. The Hmong have an unfavorable regard for hospitals, believing hospitals were inhabited by spirits of people who died there (Thorburn, Kue, Keon, & Lo, 2012).

Answer two (2) of the following questions based on your readings this week and the scenario above:

1. How does J.T.’s cultural perceptions and beliefs impact delivery of care?
2. Does the patient having Medicare mean they have acculturated to Western beliefs on health care? Explain.
3. Briefly compare and contrast the differences in care, insurance, and hospitals of the U.S. and China. Think about if J.T. were in China, how would circumstances be different for her care?
4. If you become a traveling Transcultural Nurse and practice in China, how might you prepare to manage practice in their healthcare delivery system?
