Term Paper:
A final paper that focuses on the course content applied in the setting of your current or past
employer will be due in Module 7. In this paper you will focus on the following:
• Provide a description of the company that you work for. As part of your description include a discussion of the type of organizational structure.
• Describe an agency problem within the firm and discuss what you think is causing the problem and how the problem might be better controlled.
• Describe the job dimensions of the firm and discuss whether or not you believe the current design is appropriate for the firm. Discuss any suggestions you might have for improving the job design; for example grouped by function or by product or geography or
a matrix organization? Provide a diagram if helpful to illustrate. Is this organization effective?
• Describe the compensation package for executives and employees within the firm.
Discuss whether or not you believe that the compensation package is effective and any
suggestions that you might have for improving the compensation package.
While these questions focus on the latter half of the course, you should remain mindful of the
economic concepts that were developed in the beginning of the course. An “A” paper will
demonstrate a thorough understanding of the relevant topics, completely discuss each of the
four points of the paper, use terminology appropriate to the topic, and use word choice, spelling,
and sentence structure appropriate for graduate-level work. This paper is worth 22% of your
final grade.

This will be a 5-7 page paper, double-spaced, in which you explore in more detail some aspect of the material we have been studying. Begin by reading the section in the Purdue OWL (MLA Guidelines in Webliography) on how to develop a topic and ask a critical question. This essay will be an analytic, argumentative essay in which you carefully define a limited topic area and explore a variety of sources about that topic. For instance, if you want to stick with one text, you might choose to look carefully at “The Pedestrian” formulate a critical question about it (i.e. what is this story’s place in the genre of distopian Los Angeles fiction?), seek out scholarly articles that discuss your topic, and come to your own conclusion about your question. Your paper would then offer your answer as its thesis and provide discussion about the selected passage from “The Pedestrian” as well as from your research sources to support your thesis idea.

This assignment asks you to reflect and consider the work you have done, how successfully you feel you have completed it, and how the skills and strategies you have learned in completing this work may help you in your future studies.

Since this assignment is reflective and self-evaluating, using “I, me, my” should be acceptable as you write this essay.

The Assignment:

This assignment calls for you to write an essay of 800-1000 words, double spaced. The essay should have the following academic essay elements:

1) a clear introduction, body, and conclusion

2) a clearly identifiable thesis statement in the introduction

3) evidence based upon your recollections and any material from the course (whether from the texts, the online resources, the course modules, the feedback to drafts, or the conference topics) that you might find relevant to mention in your discussion

Approach One: Self-Evaluating Your Research Essay Assignment

What You Must do:

In this essay, you will evaluate your work on the research essay assignment. Your purpose is to evaluate whether you chose wisely in selecting your topic for research writing, if you used your research successfully, and how well you believe you completed the assignment.

How You Might Do This:

Since your essay uses a traditional structure for academic writing, you could try the following technique:

1) Decide what your thesis should say and design your introduction to lead to your thesis. The thesis might begin with a phrase such as, “My research essay turned out successfully because…” or “My research assignment became problematic due to….” Your introduction can, of course, briefly describe your assignment.

2) Describe and analyze the following in the body of your essay:

a) your topic and why you chose it (this should go beyond mere interest and consider whether you thought carefully enough about the research potential/problems your topic posed);
b) how/why you made research material decisions and conducted research in the manner you did. In this section, you will want to comment on the databases you searched on in the UMUC Information and Library Services interface. You might also comment on key words on which you searched, new key words you came up with during your searches, and your experience in retrieving full-text articles.

c) how your process worked out as you completed it. In this analysis, please account for both successes and difficulties.

3) Discuss your reflection and future application in the conclusion of your essay. You will want to both reflect on what you have discussed and look towards future research assignments. You will explain how the lessons you learned from this assignment can help you correct flaws you feel you had in your process and can remind you of good practices you followed that can make future research projects successful. You should also give yourself a “grade” on, not the essay itself, but on your research process and experience

Who makes the decisions in the family holiday-taking decision-making process? Critically evaluate this question by means of a detailed literature review.
