You are the manager of Acme Fireworks, a fireworks retailer who sells fireworks,

      No comments   

 You are the manager of Acme Fireworks, a fireworks retailer who sells fireworks, puts on ground display fireworks, and large aerial display fireworks. The company started in the owner’s garage two years ago and now has 15 employees that you manage. The company started as a sole proprietorship, and the owner has never changed the entity. The owner has informed you that the company has received inquiries from several large businesses wondering if the company could create several fireworks displays on a regular basis. The owner told the inquirers that the company could fill such display orders, and a price per display was agreed upon. It was discussed that most of the cost for a fireworks display is for skilled labor, insurance, and the actual service of setting off the fireworks. No other details were discussed. The owner is anticipating that new employees will need to be hired, but he is worried that if the large orders for fireworks displays do not continue, the company will not have the funds to pay the new employees. The owner is now considering changing the business entity, but he does not know what entity to form or how to form it.


The owner has asked you to do the following:


Determine if the contracts with the businesses will be governed by common law or the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), and explain why.

Analyze whether the owner formed a contract with the businesses, and apply the five essential elements of an enforceable contract.

Explain the potential personal liability to Acme Fireworks if a spectator is injured by a stray firework from a fireworks display.

Discuss the different employment types and relationships relevant to agency law, and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each type specific to Acme Fireworks.

Explain why Acme Fireworks should not operate as a sole proprietorship. Recommend a new business entity, and provide rationale to support your recommendation.

For each task, be sure to analyze the relevant law, apply the facts to the law, and make a conclusion.

PART 1


There has been a lot of knowledge gained in this class especially for why HRM is important and to see the differences in what should be and the working experience. While things are constantly changing it has been increasingly important to know what impacts your HRM. “Information technology (IT) became a vital part of our modern-day activities. In contemporary years, the usage of IT in expediting the human resource management (HRM) activities augmented considerably. E-HRM has the ability to develop managerial competency and influence the role of human resources (HR) as a strategic business partner. E-HRM is essential for firms because of its encouraging effect on staff productivity.” (Mohammad Ziaul 2021) As we know from Covid-19 technology is ever adapting. It is key to ensure you are recruiting people online as well as adapting what you are sending to potential employees and what impact it has on recruitment. The other area that is increasingly important is addressing turnover. “Human Resource (HR) managers and business owners need to play critical roles to overcome the issue of the employees’ turnover intention in an organization especially the small and medium enterprises (SME).” (Long 2014) In any size of an organization you have to worry about turnover and making sure you are staying competitive. You have to constantly be aware of what other companies offer not just for compensation but what benefits are they offering. It is clear we are all driven by different things. In knowing what others are offering is key to your success in not having as much turnover.

PART 2


In my opinion, I think Human Resources Management will always have to deal budgeting and filling roles with respectable talent, engaging current employees with compensation and benefits that are suitable for both the employee and the company, as well as navigating laws/regulations associated with the city/state of the company. I think these factors are important because a company’s success is contingent upon the talent that is hired (Shih & Chiang, 2011). However, filling these roles can take time and cost a fortune (Shih & Chiang, 2011). Human Resources Management can help to cut down these costs by finding respectable talent through recruitment, engaging the new hires during the onboarding process, and offering competitive compensation and benefits that keep employees happy (Shih & Chiang, 2011). In addition, compensation and benefits is an excellent way to retain existing employees as well as attract new talent (Bryant & Allen, 2013).


Human Resources Management can help employees to utilize/take advantage of these benefits so that companies do not loose out with costs and employees are satisfied (Bryant & Allen, 2013). Lastly, when small companies grow there are more rules and regulations that may apply that the company must abide by (Roehling, 2014). Human Resources management can assist with navigating possible violations small companies could face and help with navigating future barriers pertaining to laws/regulations (Roehling, 2014). Human Resources Management will have to deal with these issues whether a company is big, small, been around for a long time, or if they are new.

PART 1


Competence has gained strategic importance in today’s competitive business environment and is vital for organizational performance (Dubois, 1998). Technological changes, global competition and a move towards strategic human resource management have focused on the importance of dynamic nature of competencies required by the workforce (Paulsson, Ivergard, & Hunt, 2005; Sparrow & Bognanno, 1993). Hollenbeck, McCall and Silzer (2006) also indicated that competencies and competency models have been helpful in determining and understanding managerial effectiveness. Therefore, researchers have examined what competencies an organization and its workforce need to compete in a changing business environment to manage and overcome the pressure of change. Competence is a valid measure to predict personal and organizational effectiveness (McClelland, 1973).  In the world we live in companies must adapt quickly.  Competition, globalization and continuous changes in markets and technology are the prin- cipal reasons for the transformation of human resource management. Based on the conditions of competitive global markets, the new strategic roles for human resource management have been defined. In a marketplace that is character- ized by the “war for talent,” companies in every industry are facing a difficult time in attracting and retaining people.1 To live in the changing environment, the notion of strategic human resource management has emerged.

PART 2


In a global technological environment organizations are finding that amid the pandemic more and more employees face technological changes that are emerging as standard business practices.  Functionality has become remote through tools such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams that leave employees in a much less social environment.  As companies strive to change and adapt to technological advances, some due to the pandemic and some from a natural progression in business evolution, it is important that HR teams to blend technology with the overall human employment experience.  


A study by Deloitte Global Human Capital Trends (Galer, 2020) pointed to 3 factors that are emerging as post pandemic focuses for HR teams: A greater sense of belonging without compromising individuality, job security through reinvention, and new opportunities from uncertainty.  Each factor lending itself the opportunity to be productive through technology.  It is through the HRM process that organizations will be able to ensure that a businesses greatest asset remains the people that work there.  Any organizations greatest competitive advantage is the people that work for them.

In the United States, a significant number of the current population is uninsured

      No comments   

 In the United States, a significant number of the current population is uninsured. Reducing that number is critical to maintaining a healthy population. The federal government plays a large role in healthcare and sets the standards, regulations, and policies. In most industries, market-based competition is the primary incentive for sellers to maximize the quality of their product or service and to limit the cost. This is true to a much more limited degree in healthcare.

In the discussion topic, consider the following:


What is the government's role in healthcare? How does the government impact healthcare organizations?

How does health insurance impact healthcare delivery?

How can we reduce the number of uninsured people while maximizing quality and access and minimizing costs?

Support your answer with relevant resources.

 COMPARE/CONTRAST help needed . 


COMPARE/CONTRAST PAPER. For this assignment, each student must compare and contrast experiences of two different race-ethnic groups. Choices are below:

A. African Americans (Chapter 7)

B. Native Americans (Chapter 5)

C. Latinx (emphasis on Mexican Americans) (Chapter 8)

D. Asian American Pacific Islanders (Chapter 9)

In a 4 page edited, double-spaced paper, you must answer 4 of the following 5 questions which pertain to each of the groups under study; select two of the above groups:


Which of the sociological theories discussed in Chapter 2/Module 2 (structural functionalism, conflict perspective, labeling approach, critical race theory, or intersectionality) best describe the past or current inequality faced by each of the groups?  

Which of the consequences of intergroup relations (as discussed in Chapter 2 and each of the respective chapters per your group selection) is most relevant to each of the groups under analysis?

What is an important concept (i.e. word in bold from the chapter) to be familiar with pertaining to each group, as stated in each respective chapter/module (You can cannot choose a concept or theory already discussed in #1 or #2 above.)

What potential solution to prejudice or discrimination faced by each of these groups might be implemented to improve the status of each of these groups in society? You should link your answer to course content; consider content from Chapter 4 or the modules pertaining to one of the groups under study - or in another module from this course.  Be sure the discussion of the solutions pertains specifically to the group(s) selected for this paper. 

Discuss, evaluate and explain an important statistic(s) for each of the groups. You should link your answer to a statistic provided in the course content; be sure to state the exact source used.


Include a Reference/Works sited section at the end of your paper.  The goal of this paper is to process & incorporate course content to answer the above questions.  Use a minimum of 4 sources from the course including a variety of readings, videos and lecture notes.  Additionally, you may use only 1 outside source.  Keep in mind that if you use 2 chapters in the text, I consider that to be 2 separate sources. ;)

 CRR Week 5: Evaluating Source Materials

500 WORDS


A unique title needed


Description: 

Now that you’ve selected your final research topics that you will build upon for the last 4 weeks of this course, we are going to take a deep dive into research and source evaluation. To this point, you’ve had experience evaluating other author’s arguments, sources, logic, and claim types and now it’s your turn to try your hand at crafting a multidimensional and hybrid argument of your own.


The choices we make surrounding what kinds of source material help us form our arguments are rhetorical choices. Selecting high quality source material and practicing ethical and sound research is not only important in the context of academia but can tremendously increase your writerly ethos when done well. Using research strategies and techniques outlined by our authors alongside practicing important source annotation techniques will be the first and most vital step in crafting your final hybrid argument and extended research pa.PER.


Module Objectives: 

Integrate outside perspectives into texts

Distinguish high quality source materials 

Practice accurate citation style and MLA formatting conventions

Readings/Videos:

Understanding Rhetoric: A Graphic Guide to Writing 2e, Issue 6 “More Than Detective Work”  p. 220-253

Writing Arguments: A Rhetoric with Readings 11e 

Chapter 4 “Using Evidence Effectively” p. 52-66

Chapter 16 “Finding and Evaluating Sources” p. 341-359

Chapter 17 “Incorporating Sources into your Own Argument” p. 360-374

Chapter 18 “Citing and Documenting Sources” p. 375-396

Instructions: You will need to post initial responses and peer responses in a timely manner, responding to instructor discussion threads/prompts or posting uniquely generated content.

Initial Post:

Instructor Prompt #1:

Reflecting upon your research style, what was surprising as you read Issue 6 “More than Detective Work” from Understanding Rhetoric: A Graphic Guide to Writing 2e? As we think about forming claim types, how might this affect the kind of research we conduct? What does “thinking rhetorically” about sources mean to you


Instructor Prompt #2:

Chapter 16 “Finding and Evaluating Sources“ suggests that source evaluation goes hand in hand with cultivating stronger rhetorical awareness. When we consider online source material, reliability, credibility, angle of vision, and political stance is increasingly important as information and media are produced and available rapidly to millions of consumers. I want you to select one online source you frequently consume information from and link the online source in your discussion post. Using table 16.4 “Criteria for Evaluating Websites” vet your online source keeping in mind the rhetorical indent of the online source.After you complete this evaluation, consider how the idea of evaluating online source materials intersect the ideas of 24-hour news media and the concept of “fake news.”

The creative processes for developing emancipatory knowledge grow

      No comments   

 The creative processes for developing emancipatory knowledge grow from the critical questions of emancipatory knowing shown in Fig. 3.1. These critical questions are: What is wrong with this picture? Who benefits? What are the barriers to freedom? What changes are needed? These questions can be asked in a variety of contexts and situations, including the context of care. The questions on the model are suggestions, but any question that focuses on bringing social injustices into awareness is also a critical question. 


When you ask the critical questions associated with emancipatory knowing, an underlying assumption is that people are not radically free to choose from among an unlimited variety of options, and that things need to change to make new options accessible to everyone. To assume that people are radically free places the responsibility for developing one’s full potential totally with the individual. Critical questioning assumes that freedoms are situated, which means that the possibilities for freedom and the development of individual potential are determined by a person’s situation. In other words, from a critical perspective, a person’s situation is assumed to be constructed by social practices that create disadvantage for some and privilege for others. 


From an emancipatory perspective, any conditions that limit people from developing their full human potential can be made visible, what is imagined can become real, and humans have the innate capacity to bring about changes to improve the human condition. Asking a critical question such as “What is wrong with this picture?” requires a lens that sees beyond the obvious and beyond one’s own personal experience. This makes it possible to discern problems that may exist with what people assume to be true.


Recognizing injustices and inequities can create major personal and professional dilemmas. Most people are socialized to accept an unfair status quo as the way things are (hegemony) and not to question the uncomfortable fact that some people are privileged and others are disadvantaged. To bring this kind of awareness to the surface and to act on it requires great courage, persistence, and the support of colleagues and allies who remain committed to action. Taking action often disturbs the status quo in ways that are not only uncomfortable but also prompt harsh and swift action to keep prevailing hegemonies in place. Nonetheless, critically questioning the status quo is an initial and critical feature of emancipatory knowing that sets the stage for praxis.


Why Is This Important?


When nurses question why something seems unfair, they are operating under the assumption that all persons deserve the freedom and opportunity to develop their full potential. Such questions assume that developing and exercising one’s potential is not solely a matter of individual will or desire, but that culture and society create conditions and structures within which people can thrive or fail to thrive.

Planning is a process of identifying goals that provide direction for the organization.

      No comments   

 Planning is a process of identifying goals that provide direction for the organization. Managers at all levels can participate in the planning process, selecting the type of plan, establishing the goals within the plan, and documenting in detail how each goal will be accomplished.


According to Robbins and Coulter (1), managers may choose one of the following plans:


Time frame: long term or short term.

Breadth: strategic or operational.

Flexibility: directional or specific.

Frequency: single-use or standing.

After a manager identifies which kind of plan to use, goals that illustrate how the plan will be carried out must be set. Goals are actionable steps performed by employees in the organization.


For this discussion:


Choose one of the four listed plan types.

Give an example of how you executed such a plan in your personal or professional life.

Some examples of personal life plans carried out are setting up a birthday party, purchasing a home or vehicle, applying for a new job, signing up for college, or saving money for something.

Plans carried out in an organization could include applying for a new position, learning a new skill or software, improving customer service strategies, reaching a sales quota, training a new employee, or working on a particular project.

When discussing your plan, identify 3–5 goals or steps taken to complete the plan.

Remember to respond to at least one of your classmates' posts.

Be sure to explain your answers and back yourself up with either references to the textbook reading or outside sources, preferably primary sources of law, such as the Virginia State Bar Rules of Professional Conduct or the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, or other source  AS APPROPRIATE (properly cited, of course).  Mention rules of law upon which you are relying within the body of your answers, and also include a complete citation to all of your sources in a references section at the bottom of your assignment.


Research Virginia's law on ethical walls (formerly called "Chinese walls" if that helps inform your research).  Perhaps start with rule 1.10 on imputing conflicts to other people in a firm and/or 1.11 for those with a government agency.  Check for state bar opinions, as well as case law on this issue.  You can use the internet or an electronic legal research database such as WestlawNext or LexisNexis, etc.  The Virginia State Bar website has plenty of information as well, and your textbook has search engine suggestions on page 124.  Report on what you find, what you think about such, and provide citations.

Locate Virginia's Rules of Professional Conduct related to lawyer advertising.  Would it violate these rules if your law firm adopted a vanity phone number such as 1-800-GR8-LWYR?  Can your law firm create a website address like:  www.greatlawyer.com?

Does Virginia prohibit the use of actors portraying lawyers in television advertising?  What do you personally think about this?  Is the public confused or fooled by this practice?  Do Virginia's rules prohibit your law firm from using a clever jingle in a radio or television ad?

 Week 5 Assignment 2 - Crime Scene Investigation Walk-Through

Overview

When you arrive at the scene of a crime, you must follow certain procedures to ensure the admissibility of evidence. For this assignment, you will use a case file of a real crime scene and assume the role of the crime scene investigator. You will create a presentation in which you document your process, present your findings, and provide an evaluation of the scene in a narrated PowerPoint or presentation tool of your choice.To help you prepare for this assignment, use the Mock Crime Scene to review the steps of evaluating a crime scene.


Instructions

Choose one of the following cases from your textbook resource:


"He Hit Her Until She Fell... and That Was Just the Beginning," Brandl, pp. 363–373.

"A Mutilation Murder," Brandl, p. 670.

Then, create a 5–10 minute presentation in which you:


Identify the tools you used to evaluate the crime scene. Provide a rationale for your choices.

Outline the steps you took to secure the crime scene.

Describe the techniques and procedures you used to process the crime scene, including a list of the evidence collected. Explain the reasons for your procedures.

Describe the steps you took to preserve the evidence and provide an explanation for your process.

Provide photos of the crime scene.

Create a crime scene map that illustrates the crime scene upon arrival.

Narrate your presentation to walk the audience through the crime scene.

Use at least two quality sources and cite them on a references slide. You are encouraged to use Basic Search: Strayer University Online Library to find academic resources. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as academic resources.

The design blog is an essential part of this course.

      No comments   

 The design blog is an essential part of this course. Your blog will be used to keep track of stylistic characteristics of designs that are covered in this class and that you observe, either in person or from images.


For each style covered in the unit, find at least one example of an interior component used in a modern way. Selections may include entire rooms or specific items within an interior (furniture, fabric, use of space, etc.…). In this entry, please include styles from William and Mary, French Neoclassical, French Empire, Georgian. This will be 4 separate pages, 1 for each style listed. (at least 200 words for each page)


Good sources for this material include: Interior Design Magazine, Metropolis, Houzz.com, Elle Decor and professional associations’ publications. Do not use images from books or magazines that are specifically about the assigned style (i.e., do not Google “Egyptian furniture” and cut and paste an image).


An example of a Design Blog (Unit 2) is provided as a guide on what is expected. Note: this is one of many ways to create a blog. Do not let this example limit your creativity; the only take away from this example is the combination of text and images. Be sure to provide sufficient text and images within your blogs each week.


Include a brief description of the item/interior, where you observed it, and why you place it in the particular design style. Also include any personal thoughts; please remember to include links and images.

 OVERVIEW

William Eugene Blackstone is a largely forgotten figure of 19th century American life, but his

particular brand of Christian faith subsequently helped to launch an important movement of

evangelical America in the 20th century, namely, Christian Zionism. A unique mix of traditional

evangelical piety, Bible prophecy, dispensational eschatology (end times teaching), and a belief

in (facilitating) the restoration of Jews back to their ancestral lands (in his day then known as

Palestine), WEB combined all of these elements to become a public humanitarian voice for

Jewish relief from persecution in Europe (Russia in particular) and full restoration to Palestine.

Once engaged in this process, he would spend the rest of his adult life lobbying important

American public and political figures to save Jews and promote their restoration. Your task in

this assignment is to explain the ideas, beliefs, and events that would shape his life and influence

as a Christian Zionist, including his impact on the Jewish Zionist movement that would find its

most popular base of American support, like today, among evangelical Christians like him. You

are also encouraged to comment on what you believe are some of the more important

consequences of his thought and theology on US foreign policy in the Middle East today.



INSTRUCTIONS

 Length: 5-7 double spaced pages (not including additional pages for title and references).

You may write more pages if necessary.  

 Format: Turabian

 Citations: At least 7 sources must be used and may include the course text, Bible, and

scholarly articles.

 Answer the following 3 prompts below separately in a single document.

 What religious ideas, beliefs, and historic events motivated him to support Jewish

restoration? Be specific enough to help the reader understand what he believed and

why. **Caution: Do not confuse this William Eugene Blackstone with the famous

English jurist, Sir William Blackstone.

 What were some of the longer-term consequences of his beliefs and policy

recommendations for Diaspora Jewry on the one hand, and USFP in the Middle East

on the other? Be critical here—does it seem that WEB really understood the

consequences of his ideas for the Palestinian locals—Jewish, Muslim, or Christian?

 Are his beliefs and policy recommendations still relevant to USFP today? WEB

clearly left a legacy in the US and Palestine. Can you talk about this whether positive,

negative, or both?

 What are your initial attitudes about the relationship between immigrants and violent crime? Does the data from the Cato Institute study validate or challenge your attitude? Considering the observations in the video how much social support is necessary for a particular definition or interpretation to be accepted by the broader society? How much/ which sector of society needs to be on board with an interpretation before it becomes widely accepted? What effects does the relative power of rival interest groups with their respective claims have on the "spread" of certain perspectives influenced by the amount of social power held by those who have that perspective? Does the most powerful voice generally win out?

 High school


You will create a curriculum map year at a glance. It will be similar to the one pictured in table 4.5 of the textbook. You will need to refer to at least one of the following resources. In California, we use the California Content Standards. If you are in California, or plan to teach in California, I would suggest using this document. Outside of California there are other state content standards you can use, specific to the state in which you will be teaching. You may use that particular state's content standards or use the SHAPE Grade Level Outcomes. Attached are these two documents. They are also in the Resources Needed for this Class folder in the Begin Here learning activities folders.


As you look at the content standards for your chosen grade level, pull out the key topics or main ideas for instruction.  Decide where you would teach these concepts throughout the school year. For simplicity, you may want to divide the year into four quarters. The example has six sections. Four will be good for this assignment. 


You will want to make sure you account for as many standards as possible. Combining standards and creating a general topic will be helpful. For example, grade 6, standards 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 all talk about striking. Don't worry about getting every standard placed in the map. If your grade level is high school, just concentrate on High School Course 1 and High School Course 2 in the California content standards. The SHAPE grade level outcomes for high school are combined nicely.

Use the same topics as table 4.5. The idea is to see the whole year at a glance so you will not be explaining anything. Be general and concise. It should be only one page.


High School (Grade 9-12) - Required health and fitness academic content can be found in standards 1 and 2. Required fitness related activities are found in standard 2. Required motor skills are found in standard 1. Required social, emotional and safety content can be found in standard 3.


All written submissions should reflect professionalism in grammar, spelling, writing style/format (one-inch margins, double spaced, typed in 12-point Times New Roman font), include current APA citations when appropriate, an appropriate title page, and be uploaded as .doc or .docx documents.

 Week 4 Assignment - Project Planning


Overview


This is the first of three writing assignments for the course.


Whether we know it or not, we all have planned and executed projects at some point. For the assignments in this course, you will select a project to undergo the project management process. This project can be real or fictional, but you should choose something that you are interested in.


Remember a project must:


Have a beginning and an      end.

Result in something      being delivered to someone.

Require a series of      activities that must be done to complete the project.

Require resources (for      example, people and materials) to complete the work.

Again, we have all done projects. A project can be something as simple as taking a vacation, having a family reunion, putting on a wedding, having a birthday party, or buying / selling a house. The project could also be job-related, such as managing a major technology upgrade for the organization, putting together an annual management retreat for all employees, or something else that meets the definition of a project. The focus of your paper should be on the concepts learned from the chapter readings and not how well you can describe a project. All opinions must be supported with sources and in-text citations. Also, feel free to use different projects for each assignment.


Note: To avoid a high SafeAssign percentage, do not simply copy and paste from one assignment to the next.


Note: You are prohibited from using projects that can found on the Internet, including projects found in places such as CourseHero. All project submissions are submitted to SafeAssign for review.


Instructions


Write a 3-4 page paper in which you define the scope of your project:


Provide an introduction      and overview of the project.

Explain why it is      important to define the goals and objectives for a new project.

Describe at least two      goals for the project and describe an objective for each of the goals.      Include in-text citations from credible sources that explain the      importance of establishing and defining goals and objectives for a new      project.

Explain why it is      important to understand the organizational structure where the project      will be completed.

Chapter 3 in the course       textbook describes project management structures.

Describe the project management      structure that you will use to manage your project and why you made that      choice.

For example, will you       manage it via the existing functional structure of the organization, set       up a projected/dedicated project team, or use a matrix management structure?       If you will use a matrix structure, which type will you use?

Include in-text       citations from the course textbook to explain these structures and the       benefits of one over the other.

Define the term      "project stakeholders," identify the stakeholders involved with      your project, and discuss their impact/role on the project.

Discuss some of the best      practices for estimating and developing a project budget.

Chapter 5 in the course       textbook discusses budgets.

Use at least three      sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible,      relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at      least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing,      and citations, access the library.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Be sure to include a cover page and Sources list. Note: the cover page and Sources list is not included in the 3–4 page count requirement. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.


The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:


Draft a project plan      that includes goals and objectives, recommended structure, and      stakeholders for a successful project.
