MUST CITE 5 Resources

What limits should there be on insider trading? In the USA, Pete Rose was a popular baseball player, and then manager, who was punished for betting on his own team to win. Should Pete Rose be allowed to profit from betting on the success of a team he managed? Should Pete Rose be punished more harshly if he profited from betting on the failure of a team he managed?
In the Enron case, several managers sold all their Enron stock about an hour before it became public knowledge that the company was not worth as much as everyone thought. Should a manager be punished for acting prudently based on knowledge they have discovered honestly only because the general public does not have that knowledge?
Should managers be required to disclose private information they have that might influence the investment decisions of the public?  Also, address the question of timing about the dissemination of information: is it enough to share information on a public website or should a formal press conference be required? 

October 2nd, 2020 APA (edition "APA 7"), Business and Management Comments Off on SWOT Write Up

SWOT Write Up

I hope that this note finds you well. As we continue to dive into this notion of marketing strategy I wanted to present you with the obligatory SWOT diagram found in every marketing class. Strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities are kind of staples for every introduction to marketing class. But here is the thing.  A firm performs the analysis and never revisits it again. You might even find it proudly displayed somewhere on their website. The problem is that the diagram constantly changes. 

So, with some basic assumptions: During economic stress, the first things people give up are hospitality products: dining out, travel, vacations etc…..  Hospitality was decimated in the current pandemic. Historically pandemics have taken a minimum of 2 years and typically in the 3-5 year range to fully recover. For now, everything is up in the air. There is no reason to believe anything will be the same going forward, and those who think things will be the same as they were prior to March are misguided. So as hospitality companies recover from the pandemic, think about how they will have to adapt. Choose one area of hospitality and use the SWOT model how will each aspect change? Illustrate some of your points using a specific company. How will their strengths and weaknesses change? How will their opportunities and threats change?  Explain what you think and why (hint why is really important) explain your logic. Your choices can be anything from a cruise line, a hotel chain, a casino (Las Vegas is getting crushed), restaurants, overseas travel and on. Think about this and enjoy.

October 2nd, 2020 APA (edition "APA 7"), Social Sciences Comments Off on Application of Systems Theory to a Case Study

Application of Systems Theory to a Case Study

In this course, you will be asked to select one case study and to use it throughout the entire course. By doing this, you will have the opportunity to see how theories guide your view of a client and the clients presenting problem. Although the case may be the same, each time you use a different theory, your perspective of the problem changes, which then changes how you go about asking the assessment questions and how you intervene.

The first theoretical approach you will use to apply to a case study is systems theory. In other words, your theoretical orientationyour lenswill be systems theory as you analyze a social work case study.

Different theories can be used to take a systems approach. For example, Bertalanffys General Systems Theory considers how a system is made of smaller subsystems that influence each other and seek homeostasis, whereas Brofennerbrenners Ecological Systems Theory focuses on how an individuals experience is influenced by different system levels (micro, meso, exo, macro, and chrono). Systems theory is commonly used to understand the interrelationships of the systems (e.g., family, community, organizations, society) of the client. If you are working with families, communities, and organizations, it is also beneficial to use systems theory to get a holistic picture of all the interrelated parts of the system.

To prepare: Select and focus on one of four case studies listed in the Learning Resources. You will use this same case study throughout the course.

The first sentence of this paragraph should include the “reverse hook” which ties in with the transitional hook at the end of the introductory paragraph. The topic for this paragraph should be in the first or second sentence. This topic should relate to the thesis statement in the introductory paragraph. The last sentence in this paragraph should include a transitional hook to tie into the second paragraph of the body.

Body Second paragraph:

The second paragraph of the body should contain the second strongest argument, second most significant example, second cleverest illustration, or an obvious follow up the first paragraph in the body. The first sentence of this paragraph should include the reverse hook which ties in with the transitional hook at the end of the first paragraph of the body. The topic for this paragraph should be in the first or second sentence. This topic should relate to the thesis statement in the introductory paragraph.

The topic for this paragraph should be in the first or second sentence. This topic should relate to the thesis statement in the introductory paragraph. The last sentence in this paragraph should include a transitional concluding hook that signals the reader that this is the final major point being made in this paper. This hook also leads into the last, or concluding, paragraph.

Conclusion:

Concluding paragraph.

#This paragraph should include the following:

1. an allusion to the pattern used in the introductory paragraph,

October 1st, 2020 APA (edition "APA 7"), Health Care and Life Sciences Comments Off on Program Evaluation

Program Evaluation

Part One:
Please use attachment from program planning to write the program evaluation parts.

Executive Summary (Abstract) 1 page  DUE OCT 5
Provide a brief overview of your report.  Highlight the what and why and any major findings that resulted from the evaluation.  Also include major conclusions and recommendations.  The Executive Summary is often read by someone who does not have time to read the entire evaluation report, such as a representative from an external funding agency or another stakeholder.

Evaluation Questions and Program Objectives ( page-1 page)DUE OCT 5

Evaluation questions are basically research questions, and they directly connect  to the program goals and objectives.  To help you determine what you need to evaluate, identify the program goals and objectives.  If you do not plan to evaluate the intervention created in HS 3073, you need to identify the goals and objectives for another program you have selected.  Once you have identified the program objectives, then you can formulate your evaluation questions.

Part Two:
You have conducted a needs assessment, created a health promotion program based on your needs assessment data, and now you are planning the evaluation.  In this class, you have created your evaluation questions and objectives based on the health promotion program. Each group will create the “mock” data used for the project. For this discussion board posting, please share how you feel about the evaluation process so far by responding to these questions:  How do concepts of the evaluation process relate to other core concepts/responsibilities learned in the Health Studies program?  Is the process what you thought it would be?  Do you think this is the easiest or most difficult part of the health education/promotion process?  Why?
