Sydney Retail Petrol Price Cycles,2019

Background: Economists are increasingly required to work in interdisciplinary teams and engage with members of the general public to express their research findings.

In this assessment, your task is to educate a non-specialist audience about an issue of your choice pertaining to pricing data and the Australian petrol market.

You will translate your advanced academic knowledge of the economics of petrol pricing into an engaging and educating article that a member of the general public can understand and enjoy. This article could be a magazine article, longform newspaper op-ed, piece for The Economist, or similar. You can assume your audience cares about how much they’re paying when they fill up their tank, but you can’t assume they know how the economy works or the theories that an economist would use to analyse it.

Assignment task: Write an article for a popular publication to educate a non-specialist audience about an issue, debate, or future prediction pertaining to petrol pricing in the Australian market.

Although a publication like a tabloid newspaper may not include sources in real life, your submission still needs to. At least 7 academic sources are required, and should be referenced properly using a recognised academic style guide such as CMS or APA. You may also employ your quantitative results from experiments conducted in this unit if relevant.

A strong submission will take a clear stance and/or pose a clear argument related to some aspect of pricing data and the Australian petrol market.

Your article should use language appropriate to a non-specialist audience, and include thoughtful rhetorical choices designed to engage and educate them.

Please specify who your intended audience are, including a brief indication of their interests and assumed knowledge. Please also note the publication you are writing for, and anything you would like to specify about style. For example, I am writing for people who want to know why supermarkets now own petrol stations, and whether this gets in the way of a fair price. I am writing for The Daily Telegraph using an accessible tone so that people can quickly absorb my message on a daily commute or similar. This information should be placed before the heading of your main text to avoid confusion.

Please mention that:
1. Please read Lecture1 and lectures(PPT FILES) clearfully!!!!!
2.please use the information I post called Sydney RC1

HR Magazine, 56(8), pp. 34-39 to identify why high-potential employees become dissatisfied with their employers and eventually decide to leave. Researchers have found that a major factor of high attrition among high-potential employees is the difference between what employers believe can motivate these employees and what can actually motivate them. A list of strategies to enhance workplace morale and engagement of high-potentials is presented.

Management

Write a 300-word response to the following question(s)/prompt(s), include at least one APA-formatted citation/reference to a source from this lesson.

What is “Whole-Person Management”? What does this approach integrate the leadership skills you need to manage an organization?  In the MacGregor, you will examine the idea of sustainable executive performance (SEP), which is an experiential approach for whole person learning. With your peers and Faculty Mentor, discuss the core commonalities of these two concepts and what influence they have on managerial performance and on executive function in the workplace. Reflect on how are the two ideas addressing sustainability, well-being and the welfare of the wider society?

Read and listen to the internet resources provided and synthesize the information provide on “whole-person management” and “sustainable executive performance.”

Towards whole person learning through sustainable executive performance from MacGegor, S. and Semler, K. (2012), Journal of Management Development, 31(3), pp. 231-242

Examine the ideas and concepts of Whole-Person Management in the workplace as an overhaul approach to manage workforce and enhance a sense of belonging and well-being both in and outside the work environment. HR Spark Ep6 Whole Person Management.

Synthesize what the author might mean by the following key points:

1.We see a logical link between both perspectives since innovation and the long-term success of a company should not be swayed by actions focused on short-term gain which often lead to irresponsible practices that destroy value for stakeholders in short, the values-value interplay cited by many corporate leaders but perhaps not as present in practice as we are led to believe.

2. In the same way that an organisation ought not be a machine that outsources innovation as a commodity, people are not machines who have an incomplete view of their whole self. A new type of leadership is critical to the sustainable competitiveness of a firm, which further permeates throughout the organisation.
