Reference and citation practice

BRIEFLY SUMMARIZE THE MAIN POINTS OF THE ARTICLE, BEING SURE TO APPROPRIATELY PARAPHRASE ANY INFORMATION YOU RELAY FROM THE ARTICLE (see the “References and citing” module if you need more information on appropriate paraphrasing). YOUR SUMMARY SHOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 250 WORDS IN LENGTH.

Whenever you use information from an outside source, you must indicate to your reader that the information did not come from your own head. We do this using some sort of in-text citation immediately following the information taken from a source. There are various ways of doing in-text citations. For this class, we’ll use a common style known as APA style, which simply involves placing the author’s name in parentheses followed by the year of publication. So, if the idea behind this sentence came from a source written by John Jones in 2010, it would be followed by an in-text citation (Jones, 2010). (See the “References and citing” module for more information on in-text citations using APA style, such as how to properly create in-text citations when there are multiple authors.)

3) INCLUDE IN-TEXT CITATIONS FOR AT LEAST 2 SENTENCES IN THE SUMMARY YOU WRITE. IN OTHER WORDS, IN YOUR SUMMARY YOU WILL PARAPHRASE INFORMATION FROM THE ARTICLE IN AT LEAST 2 SENTENCES, AND EACH OF THOSE SENTENCES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED BY AN IN-TEXT CITATION. Finally, provide a full reference for the source at the bottom of the page.

4) AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ASSIGNMENT PUT A FULL REFERENCE TO THE SOURCE. See the “References and citing” module for examples of how to do this.

ONE LAST POINT: YOU SHOULD NOT USE ANY DIRECT QUOTES FROM YOUR SOURCE IN THIS ASSIGNMENT OR ANY ASSIGNMENTS IN THIS CLASS. All of the writing you do for this class should be in your own words. Your work will be submitted through Turnitin, a plagiarism-checking website, to ensure it is your own.

Business

A new CFO at Hanson Technologies is tasked with the responsibility of analyzing costs in an effort to reduce them in preparation for expansion into the global markets. Much of the cost cutting so far has been from finding lower cost suppliers for much of the materials, reducing machine maintenance schedules, and hiring contract labor to reduce benefits to longer term employees. The CFO has now been looking for additional cost cutting strategies and has identified warranty expense as one of the costs that needs to be cut. He is considering two proposals to do so. The first is to cut out warranties on their product altogether to reduce the warranty expense to zero. The other is to cut the estimated warranty liability percentage down to 25% of its current value. Discuss whether either of these options will work for this purpose. What are your thoughts on which, if either, option should be enacted? What would you do if you were the CFO in this case?

The following case study is an excellent example of this process and demonstrates the power of a successful project management process. This case involves an engineering firm charged with the challenge of maintaining the infrastructure of a series of new highways.
