1. How would you conduct a job analysis for a job that does not yet exist?
2. Do you think the abilities chosen for selection are valid? What other abilities might be generally useful for this position?
3. What reasons did the selection committee have for selecting only the factors that could not be acquired in a two-year training program?
It is very important that this paper is written on the level of a graduate student. Pay close attention to grammar and word choices.
For this paper, you will assume the role of a staff member for an elected policymaking body, such as a city council, a county commission, or a state legislative or Congressional committee. In that role, you have been asked to prepare an economic policy briefing paper for the group.
For the briefing paper, the policy topic is the Supreme Court decision from June that overthrew state bans on same-sex marriage.
Each of the policy areas mentioned above is very broad. When preparing your briefing paper, you should narrow your focus to a particular policy within the policy area. Your policy can be a specific law, ordinance, legislative proposal, regulation, or court decision. You should provide an authoritative source for the policy, for example, a city code, state statute, administrative regulation, or federal law.
Your briefing paper will include the following major sections related to your specific policy:
1. A detailed description of the policy on which your paper will focus, including primary source materials.
2. An explanation of the position that would follow from the classical liberal, radical, and modern liberal theoretical perspectives for your specific policy.
3. The position preferences related to one political party associated with one of the economic theoretical perspectives. For example, the Democratic Party is most closely linked to a modern liberal or to a radical theoretical perspective, while the Republican Party might be most closely linked to the classical liberal perspective. This section should include an explanation of your rationale for linking the particular party you selected with the theoretical perspective you have chosen. You should also note similarities and differences between the theoretical perspective and the party position related to your policy. Does the party follow a particular perspective, or does it combine elements of the perspectives?
The briefing paper should accurately describe the contesting views of appropriate economic policy. In this paper, you should not express a personal preference for a specific policy. We will leave the choice of policy outcomes to the elected officials for whom you are preparing this report. Your goal is to both provide the members with concise, accurate summaries of the key theoretical arguments related to a specific policy, and to demonstrate how one perspective gets translated into a political party’s policy position.
You are writing sections of the paper that explain how proponents of each theory would view the policy being analyzed. In describing the application of each theory to the policy, you should put yourself in the position of someone who supports the theory. So, for the classic liberal section, you should explain not only how the theory applies, but why proponents of the theory think their view is best. For example, classic liberals argue that their principles will produce the best economic outcomes. You should make that case, even if you disagree with it.
Your paper should have the following sections:
I. Introduction: Provide a preview of the contents of the paper.
II. Policy Description:
1. Public problem the policy addresses (don’t mention the policy yet)
2. Policy description
III. Classic Liberal Approach
1. Overview of classic liberalism
2. Classic liberal approach to the policy problem
3. Classic liberal view of the policy
IV. Radical Approach
1. Overview of radicalism
2. Radical approach to the policy problem
3. Classic liberal view of the policy
V. Modern Liberal Approach
1. Overview of modern liberalism
2. Modern liberal approach to the policy problem
3. Modern liberal view of the policy
VI. Policy Recommendation
Based on the above analyses, what would you recommend with respect to the policy? Continue, revise, or repeal?
VII. Conclusion: Provide a summary of the contents of the paper.
If you offer your opinion of the theories, make sure you do so based on evidence. Don’t praise or denigrate the theories using inflammatory language. Your assessment should be logical, not emotional. The sources used for each perspective need to be from scholars from that view.
question is: “Critically assess the benefits of individual performance pay. Discuss whether individual performance pay is harmful for team performance”
– For my Human Resource Management class
– I have to hand it in on “Turn it In” so must be original
– Max 2250 words
– You are able to answer and discuss the first question in the beginning of the essay and move onto the 2nd question in the last part of the essay if you want
– Should mention both sides of the argument (you dont have to conclude to one side..it could be completely dependent on what type of setting it is in, but you can conclude to one side if you want)
For the organization where you work ideas about strategy and their framework to identify the key internal factors that are likely to have implications for enterprise performance and strategic goal accomplishment. In Week One you looked at your organization’s mission, vision, values and key objectives and began the process of evaluating strategic alignment. Now you will take this a step further and examine more systematically the resources, capabilities, systems and processes, and other internal factors that are important for successful strategy implementation. Later in the semester, (in week 7) you will have another opportunity to apply what you have learned to your own situation but your focus will then be on external factors and forces and their implications for both your industry and your organization.
For this week 5 paper, submit your work in your assignment folder in the form of a 2,500 word (approximate) double-spaced APA formatted report. The title page, abstract, reference list, and appendices are not included in this word count. (Note: Supplementary information should be placed in Appendices rather than in the body of the paper.)
Scenario: To tackle this week’s assignment, assume you are in the role of an internal consultant who is able to couple your knowledge about strategy with the excellent research and analytical skills needed to fill any gaps. Imagine your boss, who knows you are taking this course and are almost finished your graduate management degree program, has asked you to put together a report that will help the executive team gain a richer understanding of the organization’s resources and capabilities and the extent to which these might be leveraged for competitive advantage. During this conversation your boss says, “The things you have been telling me about strategy and this VRIO framework have made me look at things differently and make me want to learn more about where we stand with respect to the value, rarity, imitability of our resources and capabilities, and whether we are organized as well as we should be. I want you to look at our current situation and share any recommendations you may have as a result of your analysis.” He adds, ” I know I can count on you for a strong objective analysis that relies on independently verifiable evidence. I think it will help you to be objective if you rely only on information that is publicly available rather than “digging around” in any of our confidential organizational documents. I hope I can use your report to put together a presentation for the executive team. If you do a good job with this it might also prove useful for a briefing for our Board. Remember, this is not something I want shared with others until I have a chance to read what you have found.”
As you leave this imaginary meeting with your boss, you take comfort in knowing that your report is actually just for your professor who is required to treat everything you will share as confidential. You also remind yourself that because this is for academic credit you will need to include and cite sources to relevant scholarly and professional work. These things said, you look forward to the opportunity to apply what you are learning to your own organization and practice using your “consultant’s eye.”
1. Begin your research process by clarifying your organization’s current corporate/enterprise-wide and business-level strategies. As you will recall, these are the prevailing shared assumptions (or theories) about how the organization will be able to achieve or maintain competitive advantage. This is something you began thinking about in week one. You may find this resource provides some useful reminders and additional guidance:
2. Recall from Barney and Hesterly’s Chapter 2 that you can apply the Resource-Based View (RBV) to help you identify both the tangible and intangible assets your organization may be able to use to accomplish its intended strategies.
3. Identify internal resources that are or may be critical for implementing the organization’s strategy and analyze the extent to which they are recognized as such. Preform a preliminary analysis of the extent to which the resources you identify qualify as valuable, rare, costly to imitate, and whether your organization has the capability to leverage them for competitive advantage. Note that, while there will be important differences, the criteria apply equally to organizations in the public, private, and non-profit sector. Your analysis will be preliminary because you will have an opportunity later to conduct a more comprehensive evaluation of your organization’s situation compared with its competitors, which will be part of your task in week 7. You will also think more about value creating options as you read additional chapters in our textbook.
4. Consider and discuss the things that may make your organization’s potentially valuable and rare resources and capabilities difficult for others to imitate. Use Value Chain Analysis to help you deepen your understanding of the relative value of the resources and capabilities you have identified. Seek objective and independently verifiable evidence of potential rarity of the resources and capabilities.
5. Analyze the extent to which your enterprise is organized and managed to fully exploit its key resources for competitive advantage. Consider, for example, whether the organization’s structure, size, operations, and key systems align with and are therefore likely to support successful accomplishment of the strategy.
6. Present a preliminary summary of your organization’s strengths and potential (or currently verifiable) competitive capabilities. Also summarize the organization’s weaknesses. (Note: You will have an opportunity to revisit and complete a full SWOT analysis, including threats and opportunities, as part of your week 7 paper.) Put your summary in a table and include a brief narrative explanation of your supporting rationale.
7. Extend your analysis to include a preliminary discussion and analysis of your organization’s business-level strategies. Consider whether you organization currently uses or might use a cost leadership strategy (gains an advantage by reducing or keeping costs lower than others). If you believe this is an intended strategy in your organization, look at how this is being achieved, whether it appears to be successful, and whether there are or may be associated risks/concerns. When analyzing your organization’s business-level strategies, look also at the extent to which product/services differentiation may be applicable and evaluate associated benefits and risks.
8. When analyzing business-level strategies, be sure to include an evaluation of the extent to which the organization has the resources and capabilities required for sustainable competitive advantage.
9. In your conclusion, include things you might suggest for your manager’s “worry list”
10. Finally, include and appropriately support a set of preliminary recommendations for action. These should be shared only with your professor. You will have an opportunity to revisit these recommendations again in your week 7 report.

Chapter information will be scanned. I apoligize that it will be in two separate documents but that is how I was able to scan the pages. All pages will be included. The class is global strategic management.
In chapter 12 of the text (pages 539-552), 12 trends are identified and discussed. After reviewing these, identify Trend #13 and #14 based on your review of the class readings (i.e. identify and explain two trends that the authors failed to recognize). Also explain why your two trends are critical to recognize, providing source documentation to support your trends/viewpoints.

: In private industry/business, some employers must institute an administrative, non-coercive, search programs to address real or perceived property losses at the hands of their employees. In establishing such a program, there are various issues that must be considered beyond the impact it might have on employee morale. Company executives must thoroughly vet the legality of an administrative search under consideration and consider the potential for civil lawsuits filed against the company and its security operatives for such reasons as invasion of privacy, assault, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and defamation. Legal claims may result from the manner in which the search is conducted. For instance, search protocols that are found by a court to be unreasonable, discriminatory, discourteous, unfair, highly intrusive, socially unacceptable conduct, or instituted for frivolous reasons will likely lead to successful claims by employees, a significant threat to company assets that must be avoided.
Scenario: The ACME Company manufactures various electronic devices for a variety of well-known brands. This includes cell phones, cameras, camcorders, stereos, computers, tablets, video games, and more. At any given time, many of these products are fully assembled and stored at the plant awaiting shipment to the vendors. Also stored at the plant are the expensive components used to manufacture the devices. As the new ACME security director, you have been alerted to the fact that significant inventory shortages have been occurring for the assembled devices and the stock components used to manufacture the electronic devices resulting in substantial company losses. You also have obtained information that these losses are the result of extensive employee theft.
To reduce or eliminate pilferage of company assets, you plan to discuss with the company�s executive staff a plan to institute a package control system that includes a reasonable administrative search or spot inspection of bags, packages, and large parcels carried by employees leaving the facility. Before you do so, however, you decide to conduct the appropriate research to write a policy and associated procedures for this workplace search that will withstand any judicial test for reasonableness and fairness and present your proposal to the staff for consideration. You know the provisions of the policy and procedures must ensure the company and its security operatives balance their right to conduct limited searches to prevent and reduce company losses with employees� expectation of privacy.
Writing Assignment: Students are to write a proposal for initiating an administrative, non-coercive package control search program for the ACME Company that will prevent or at least reduce the internal theft of company assets. The proposal must outline the specific provisions of the program policy, the operational protocols and procedures for conducting and documenting the searches and results, and the reasons why you believe the proposed policy and procedures are reasonable, fair, and non-discriminatory.
The length of the proposal will be between 1,000 and 1,500 words and students will use and properly cite and reference in APA format at least 3 sources other than the course instructional material. Course instructional material may be used and cited, but may not be included in the 3 sources required.
Option 2
Background: In private industry/business, some employers must institute an administrative, non-coercive, care taking search programs to address real or perceived property losses at the hands of their employees. In establishing such a program, there are various issues that must be considered beyond the impact it might have on employee morale. Company executives must thoroughly vet the legality of an administrative search under consideration and consider the potential for civil lawsuits filed against the company and its security operatives for such reasons as invasion of privacy, assault, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and defamation. Legal claims may result from the manner in which the search is conducted. For instance, search protocols that are found by a court to be unreasonable, discriminatory, discourteous, unfair, highly intrusive, socially unacceptable conduct, or instituted for frivolous reasons will likely lead to successful claims by employees, a significant threat to company assets that must be avoided.
Writing Assignment: Students are to write a paper that explores the use and legalities of an administrative, non-coercive, care taking search program instituted by private security operatives to address real or perceived company losses resulting from significant internal theft. After reading and evaluating Judge Edward Weinfeld�s opinion in Chenkin v. BELLEVUE HOSP. CTR., NYC, ETC., 479 F. Supp. 207 (S.D.N.Y. 1979), found in the eReadings section of the online classroom, consider the opinion and respond to the following:
(1) Write an introduction to the project and include its purpose and a succinct recitation of the basic facts in this case.
(2) Describe the issues related to the search program the court needed to resolve.
(3) Explain the positions that Chenkin and Bellevue advanced to the court regarding Chenkin�s claim that the hospital�s package control system was unconstitutional.
(4) Provide details of the court�s ruling and rationale and be sure to describe the important features of the search procedure instituted by Belleville that in the view of the court rejected Chenkin�s claims.
(5) As a practical matter, evaluate how this court decision impacts security operations. Be specific and comprehensive.
The length of the proposal will be between 1,000 and 1,500 words and students will use and properly cite and reference in APA format at least 3 sources including the court�s opinion. Course instructional material may be used and cited, but may not be included in the 3 sources required.
1. Indicative title of the topic area
This should accurately reflect what it is that you want to study and the central issues that
you are going to address.
2. Context / rationale / why is this study important? (300 – 500 words)
Introduce the general area of study and identify the theoretical context within which your
research will be developed by discussing the discipline(s) and or field/s of study relevant to
your research. This means outlining the key theoretical area(s) you will draw upon to enable
you to find out what it is that you want to know (e.g. underpinned from the social sciences;
arts and humanities; life, health and physical sciences). In addition, you will need to
contextualise your research in terms of the literature of your subject area. What we are
looking for here is an indication that you understand and have done some research into the
wider theoretical context.
Developing the context is just one part of this section; you are building a case / rationale for
the study area. Why is this study important, which theoretical areas support this? Can you
identify any gaps in current understanding that help you build the case for this research
study?
In this section you could outline the main aim of the study (also see section 4).
3. Literature review (approximately 700 – 900 words)
Here are demonstrating that you are aware of what has been and what is currently being
written about your topic (i.e. the academic literature, Government documents, media
coverage). We are looking for you to make links between a body of literature and your
proposed area of study and in so attempt to identify any gaps in knowledge. A PhD thesis
arises from original research leading to new knowledge or a significant contribution to
existing knowledge. If, at this stage, you have some thoughts on how your research is likely
to contribute to knowledge then include details in your proposal. This section should include
citations which are compiled into a reference list at the end of the document (see point 7).
4. The research questions or hypotheses (approximately 200 words)
Having told us what you want to study and why, and then illustrated these ideas with
reference to a body of literature, the next task is to distil your ideas into a tentative set of
research questions, hypotheses, aims and objectives (as per the underpinning discipline
requires) that are manageable and achievable within a normal PhD timeframe (see 6 below).
5. Research approach/ methodologies / methods (approximately 400 words)
There will be many research approaches open to you. In your proposal, suggest the
methodological approach that you might take and make a reasoned case as to why the
research questions you have
posed are best addressed by this approach. You might also suggest what methods you would
use to generate data that can help you address your research questions.
6. Timescale/research planning (approximately 200 words)
A full time PhD should take three years to complete, although you may require more time to
acquire the relevant skills prior to commencing your research. Part time study will take
longer (up to five – six years). Within this timeframe, you will need to demonstrate your
awareness of time management and planning (e.g. length of time for primary research/
fieldwork).
7. Reference List (at least 10 – 20 references)
Awesome! We will spare no effort to give you a most pleasant experience.
