ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

I do NOT tolerate cheating. Students are responsible for understanding the RU Academic Integrity Policy (http://academicintegrity.rutgers.edu/). I will strongly enforce this Policy and pursue all violations. On all examinations and assignments, students must sign the RU Honor Pledge, which states, “On my honor, I have neither received nor given any unauthorized assistance on examinations or assignments.” [I will screen all written assignments through SafeAssign or Turnitin, plagiarism detection services that compare the work against a large database of past work.] Do not let cheating or plagiarism destroy your hard-earned opportunity to learn. See business.rutgers.edu/ai for more details.

***You must sign, date and post the statement on Canvas. You must also sign, date and post the statement on Canvas by Thursday, June 9th that you understand the guidelines and polices outlined in this course syllabus.

ATTENDANCE AND PREPARATION POLICY

Expect me to attend all class sessions. I expect the same of you. If I am to be absent, my department chair or I will send you notice via email and Canvas as far in advance as possible. If you are to be absent, report your absence in advance at https://sims.rutgers.edu/ssra/.

If your absence is due to religious observance, a Rutgers-approved activity, illness, business trip or family emergency/death and you seek makeup work, also send me an email with full details and supporting documentation within 5 days of your first absence.

Expect me to arrive on time for each class session. I expect the same of you. If you are going to be tardy, please notify me via e-mail and the reason.

Expect me to remain for the entirety of each class session. I expect the same of you. If you have to leave early, please let me valid reason (business meeting, family emergency, etc.) before the start of class so I can plan accordingly.

Expect me to prepare properly for each class session. I expect the same of you. Complete all background reading and assignments. You cannot learn if you are not prepared.

Expect me to participate fully in each class session. I expect the same of you. You can’t learn if you are not paying attention.

If you are unable to attend the class meetings be sure to contact me beforehand to discuss your absence. I suggest that you use a “buddy” system to ensure that if you miss a class that you get the appropriate notes from the lecture. If you have any additional questions, please reach out to me to schedule an appointment during my office hours. If you are unable to meet with me during office hours, we can plan to schedule for an alternate day and time.

Please note that all assignments are to be completed using Microsoft Office (Word and PowerPoint)

For school emergencies, consult the campus home page. Please also check Canvas because I might be posting additional information regarding the emergency and class materials for that day.

CLASSROOM CONDUCT

Both individual’s participation in class and on his or her assigned team will be considered for course evaluation. Anonymous individual feedback from your team members via Survey Monkey will be considered, but I will make the final decision based on my observations.

Usually, in an in-person course, I ask students to select their own team. Since we are operating in a remote environment, I will select your team. If a student strongly desires to be placed on another team, that will be allowed only if a member from another team volunteers to switch teams with the student requesting such a change. No team changes will be allowed after the second class.

If you miss two or more classes without informing me in advance and without good reason, your overall class participation grade will be negatively impacted. Treat it as your job. If you don’t show up to work without a valid excuse, you can’t expect to keep your job for long. I do understand that there are circumstances that may require you to miss a class, such as an urgent business meeting, so informing me in advance will help you here (see approved excuses under attendance policy above), but does NOT remove your responsibility for all assigned work.

PLEASE NOTE: Cellphones and other electronic devices should be shut off during our online live class. Please make sure to mute your line during the live lecture unless you are asked to speak during a class discussion or team presentation. Outside noise will make the learning experience less than optimal for everyone. Also, feel free to share with me your thoughts on how I can make this remote setting more comfortable. I will be happy to make some adjustments to improve the learning experience for everyone.

Article Critiques This paper requires you to obtain a marketing article from one of the business journals listed in the syllabus, summarize the content of the marketing article and apply the marketing strategy concepts from the lecture slides and readings in four typed pages, double-spaced 12 point Times New Roman. You will be graded on your ability to summarize the pertinent issues raised in the article and how well you articulate /apply marketing strategy concepts from class to the article critique. A copy of the article must be uploaded to Canvas along with your summary paper. If you have questions as to the suitability of your chosen article, you can ask me to review it before you write your paper.

The following is a list of magazines where you can find articles. You can also find marketing articles in the Wall Street Journal, Entrepreneur magazine and online from your local newspaper or general news sources. This is NOT an exhaustive list, but you should be able to find an article. You can also check with the business library’s online magazine source as well. **Choose an article that interests you and relates to marketing. ** It is an individual assignment not a group assignment. Ten points will be deducted each day the assignment is late.

Final Team Presentation: Each team will do a re-branding of a major brand in the form of a marketing plan Powerpoint presentation The duration of each team presentation is 40 minutes. The presentation will cover all major aspects of a marketing plan from SWOT analysis, marketing research to the marketing mix. A sample presentation template will be provided to show you how one is created.

Case Presentation: Each team will present one Harvard Case presentation to the entire class. The team will select the case and obtain approval from me before the start the process.

Class Participation (Discussion Posts, In-class team exercises): Class participation and attendance is vital for the successful completion of this course. Perfect attendance without verbal participation in discussions will NOT result in a good participation grade. This requirement is based on the fact that discussion/teamwork is essential in most business settings.

ATTENDANCE IS NOT EQUAL TO PARTICIPATION. Participation grades will be based on the instructor’s observation during online discussion groups and discussion posts. The quality of your comments and frequency of your comments are equally important. Online discussion groups will be conducted during our regularly scheduled Tuesday night class. The group activities will focus on discussion of cases and exercises that will apply to recently learned marketing concepts. Discussion Post questions will be posted several times via the Discussions section of Canvas. For each discussion post, you have to post one primary post up to 300 words in response to the questions that I provide and a secondary post up to 300 words in response to your classmate’s primary post (your choice who you want to respond to). Please refer to the posted assignment rubric for how you will be evaluated on discussion posts and refer to the course schedule for discussion post deadlines.

Special Exception

As with all graded assignments, a special exception can be made with the instructor for unusual circumstances, such as a family illness. It will be the obligation of the student to inform the instructor of the special circumstance. Once an exception is approved, the student must work with the instructor to complete the assignment(s).

CODE OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT

For the code of professional conduct, please refer to the following link:

https://myrbs.business.rutgers.edu/students/code-professional-conduct

Rutgers Business School is recognized for its high-quality education. To that end, maintaining the caliber of classroom excellence requires students to adhere to the same behaviors that are expected in professional career environments. These include the following principles:

Discussion and Correspondence

Each student is encouraged to take an active part in class discussions and activities. Substantive dialogue requires a degree of mutual respect, willingness to listen, and tolerance of opposing points of view. Disagreement and the challenging of ideas must happen in a supportive and sensitive manner. Hostility and disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated.

In both correspondence and the classroom, students should demonstrate respect in the way they address instructors. Students should use proper titles in addressing instructors unless there is an explicit understanding that the instructor accepts less formal address. Similarly, appropriate formatting in electronic communication, as well as timely responsiveness, are all expectations in every professional interaction, including with instructors. Everything said and written should demonstrate respect and goodwill.

Punctuality and Disruption

Class starts and ends promptly at the assigned periods. Students are expected to be in their seats and ready to begin class on time.

Packing belongings before the end of class is disruptive to both other students and the instructor. Barring emergencies and within reason, students are expected to remain in their seats for the duration of the class.

Technology

The use of technology is sanctioned only as permitted by the course instructor. As research on learning shows, peripheral use of technology in classes negatively impacts the learning environment in three ways:

Individual learning and performance directly suffer, resulting in the systemic lowering of grades earned.

One student’s use of technology automatically diverts and captures other people’s attention, thus impeding their learning and performance. Moreover, even minor infractions have a spillover effect and result in others doing the same.

Subverting this policy (e.g., using a phone during class, even if hidden below the table; tapping on a smartwatch; using a laptop for non-course related matters) is evident to the course instructor and offensive to the principles of decorum in a learning environment.

Networking, computing, and associated resources in the trading rooms, advanced technology rooms, and general classrooms are to be used in the manner intended.

Sharing links to private online classes, attempting to join an online class that you are not enrolled in, or posting disruptive content during these sessions are strictly prohibited and may lead to disciplinary action.

For more instructions on information technology resources at Rutgers University, please refer to the Acceptable Use Policy for Information Technology Resources.

Misappropriating Intellectual Property

Almost all original work that is available to you is subject to claims of copyright by its creators or copyright holders. These copyright holders may include publishers, authors, professors, the University, RBS, and in some cases, your fellow students. The protected materials may include but are not limited to syllabi, recorded lectures, PowerPoint presentations, and other recorded, printed, or electronically stored media. These materials are only limited to completing the requirements of the class.

Unauthorized use includes such things as copying, sharing, forwarding, selling, renting, online posting, publication, or any other form of distribution of these materials without the written permission of the copyright holder. Such misconduct may potentially subject you to disciplinary action by the University, significant civil penalties, and even severe criminal sanctions.

For more instructions on copyright protections at Rutgers University, please refer to the Rutgers Libraries.

Rutgers Business School is committed to the highest standards of integrity. We value mutual respect and responsibility, as these are fundamental to our educational excellence both inside and outside the classroom.

Stand-Alone Project: Establishing a Clothing Boutique (200 points)

This Stand-Alone Project is comprised of four (4) parts. Your Stand-Alone Project should be both grammatically and mechanically correct, and formatted using APA style. If there is a Part A, your response should identify a Part A, etc. In addition, you must appropriately cite all resources used in your response and document in a bibliography using APA style. (200 points) (A 10-page response is required for the combination of Parts A, B, C, and D.)

Part A You and Marsha, a good friend from your college days, have decided to open a trendy clothing boutique. You have found a location that looks promising and retained legal counsel to negotiate a lease with the landlord and prepare any paperwork you might be required to register the business with the state. Unfortunately, you cannot agree on how to set up your business. Marsha favors a partnership and you prefer to incorporate. The two of you schedule an appointment with your attorney to discuss the pros and cons of each, as well as other options that the two of you may have overlooked. In table format, summarize the advice your attorney provides for a general partnership, limited liability partnership, public corporation, and sub-chapter S corporation. His advice should include: tax ramifications, control considerations, liability, ease and expense of formation, transferability of ownership, and ease of expanding the business. Consult Chapters 16 and 17 of your textbook.

Part B You and Marsha realized after your last meeting with your attorney that you neglected to ask him about the duties you will owe each other if you decide to go with a general partnership formation. You schedule a second meeting with him. Summarize the duties and rights each of you has under a general partnership.

Part C Visit www.mycorporation.com. Watch the following very short videos that are available: LLC v. Corporation, Where Do I Incorporate, and What’s Next? Summarize the results of each video.

Part D Marsha envisions that down the road the two of you may wish to produce your own clothing line. She wants to manufacture the garments in China or India. You have reservations about expanding your operations outside the U.S. Locate five (5) scholarly articles that are devoted to the topic of expropriation risk, including creeping expropriation. Once you have compiled your articles, draft an argument in which you take a stance for or against manufacturing your clothing outside the U.S. You must support your opinion with evidence and research. In the event the research favors a country other than China or India, discuss your reasoning. Remember to consider the advantages/disadvantages of producing clothing made and sold in the USA. Your discussions should address environmental concerns and the impact outsourcing will have on American workers. Consult all relevant chapters of your textbook. Feel free to supplement your argument with case law reviewed in the textbook or case law you unearth during the course of your research.

Lesson 1 Project 1 Assessment Assignment: Personality Assessment (Big 5 +3) For

Lesson 1 Project 1 Assessment Assignment: Personality Assessment (Big 5 +3)

For this assignment you will need to complete and score a set of personality measures, as well as compute, compile, and analyze the scores.

Step 1. Making Predictions. Think about the relationship between the following 8 personality characteristics:

Stress
Self-Esteem
Overall Satisfaction with Life
Extroversion
Agreeableness
Conscientiousness
Negative Emotionality
Openness to Experience

Write down at least 3 predictions you might have about the relationships between any two of these variables. For example, you might predict the people who are more satisfied with life would have lower levels of stress, or that people who were more extroverted would have higher levels of self-esteem. Feel free to predict negative relationships, too (Life Satisfaction with Stress, or Openness to Experience with Introversion?). There are no right or wrong predictions; only hypotheses that you are going to put to the test!

Prediction #1 ________________________________________________________________

Prediction #2_________________________________________________________________

Prediction #3__________________________________________________________________

Step 2: Complete the Measures. Complete each of the following measures and enter your scores on the Score Sheet below in the first column that says, (1) Your Scores:

The Perceived Stress Scale:
https://das.nh.gov/wellness/Docs/PercievedStressScale.pdf

The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale

Openness to Experience

Step 3: Recruiting Other Participants. Ask seven (7) other friends, family members or peers to complete the same instruments and enter their scores in columns 2 through 8. When you are done you should have 8 scores for each of 8 people (including yourself), for a total of 64 scores. (Feel free to ask other students in the course if they would be willing to share their scores, too, if you would prefer that over recruiting friends and family).

Step 4: Calculating the Correlations. Now go to this site to calculate the correlation among your eight different measures.

https://www.easycalculation.com/statistics/correlation-matrix.php

To compute your correlations, go to the field that asks for the number of your matrix and put 8. This will open an 8 X 8 matrix that will allow you to enter all of your scores. Enter them exactly as they appear in your matrix above. The first box in the matrix will be for your Perceived Stress Score, followed by the Perceived Stress Scores for each of your other 7 people to complete that first ROW. They you will be going down to the second ROW where you will begin by entering your Self-Esteem score, followed by the Self-Esteem scores for each of your other 7 people, and so on until you have entered all 8 of the scores for all 8 of your people and completed the entire matrix of scores.

Step 5. Calculate. When you have finished entering your scores, press CALCULATE and scroll down to find the correlation matrix that appears below. This will show the correlation between all of your measures. All correlations will be between 1 (reflecting perfect positive correlation) and -1 (reflecting perfect inverse, or negative correlation).

Step 6. Interpretation. Looking at the correlation matrix you will see that it shows the correlation of each measure with every other measure. The correlation between the first measure (Perceived Stress) and itself would be a perfect correlation (1.0). Moving to the right, the next correlation you will see is between your first measure (Perceived Stress) and your second measure (Self-Esteem), and so on.

Study your correlations to see what correlates with what. Look back at your three predictions in Step 1 above. Were they supported or not supported? Indicate the results below by putting the correlations you found and your interpretation of that correlation.

Prediction #1_______________________________________________________

Prediction #2_______________________________________________________

Prediction #3_______________________________________________________

Step 7. Other findings. In addition to your predictions, did you see any other findings of interest to you? Any surprises?[supanova_question]

1- Self-reflection paper:

This is an exercise where the writer takes a topic and

reflects upon its personal significance. It is written in the first person and

should be an exercise where one examines the topic from a personal

perspective. Other than writing in the first person and exploring the personal

impact of the topic, all other paper writing conventions must be followed.

2-Reaction paper:

This paper, like your research paper, should be written in

the third person. It is more technical than the self-reflection paper, even

though both require research and the presentation of facts. In this exercise

one is to take a topic, present the opposing viewpoint fairly, and then react to

it. One has to be careful and avoid editorializing for that is not the purpose

of this paper. It should be as balanced as possible and the reaction should be

presented in such a way as to convince the audience.

3-Research paper:

This is the most technical of the three. It is to be written

in the third person and should follow the conventions of academic research

papers (presented above and below).

D1: Trust through Technology

A major role for talent managers is performance management. Technologies are widely available to assist in effective talent management. Before we can talk about the balance of performance measurement and trust, it’s important to understand what these technologies are and what they can do. Below is a website that describes the purpose of performance management tools to give you a sense of the power and potential in use of such tools. It also allows for a comparison of tools, which will be invaluable for you later on this module! Please skim the website below prior to beginning this discussion.

2.  CROSS-FERTILIZATION

Present and discuss an example of cross-fertilization between two or more art forms. For example, you might compare a theater presentation with a film adapation of the same play, or discover and describe how a poem can be illustrated as a drawing or painting.  

For this discussion, you might also compare art forms between two different cultures.  For example, you might compare how religious images or music differ between religious or cultural groups.

Be sure to include images and links so everyone can see or hear what you’re discussing, and make sure to use one interpretative tool from the semester to say something about the things you are comparing. Make sure refer to the Learning Resource for the tool and which week it is from either in your narrative or as a citation. Underline or bold the vocabulary, concept or technique you use as a interpretative tool in your post. 

3.  REVIEW A TED TALK

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design.  The TED organization sponsors global presentations on “Ideas Worth Spreading.”

Go to the website https://www.ted.com/ .  Find a TED talk that addresses the value of one of the humanities fields covered in this course or a controversy in one of the humanities disciplines.  

Write a review of the presentation.  First, identify the name of the speaker and the presentation, indicate when it was presented, and give a link to the talk.  Second, describe the main points of the TED talk. Finally, offer a critique —your assessment of the speaker’s ideas and the presentation overall.  

4.  DISCUSS FUNDING FOR THE ARTS

Although most people appreciate the arts as part of their everyday lives (perhaps, especially, music and film), the arts often are first to go when public school funding is tight.  Use the educational resources for this week as a starting place to explore the pros and cons of public funding for the arts and funding for art and music in public schools.[supanova_question]

Taking Your Department Remote Lesson 1 of 1 Now that you have

Taking Your Department Remote

Lesson 1 of 1

Now that you have been placed into your intradisciplinary groups, Speedy Pro is asking for you to create a plan in the event that your department (and the company) may need to transition to a remote workplace format. (My discipline is health studies )

Our recent experience with the pandemic has emphasized the need for preparedness in the event of a national oidered the implications for doing so.

Talent managers were likely involved in employee requests and complaints when workers were abruptly removed from their workspaces and asked to work from home. Think about all of the trials and tribulations you have heard about or experienced during the pandemic.

The pandemic has impacted business continuity, no matter what your discipline. Consider what your department would need to stay up and running. Many companies have completely redesigned their business model lest they fail. Some had to hire and train rapidly. Let’s take a look at some challenges and opportunities that have arisen as a result of the pandemic: 

Challenges and Opportunities in the Remote Workplace

As a group, your first step should be to research some of the struggles that have occurred in different organizations in a department similar to yours. As a group, determine the best practices from lessons learned. Your plan to take your department remote should have the following elements:

1) Determination of essential workers and/or schedule for rotating essential workers based upon their title and role. (Who is doing what, where and why? What skillsets are needed? We want the right people in the right seats?)

2) Roles and responsibilities. Set clear expectations of each person and/or role.

3) A plan to handle flexible working schedules, ensuring there is no overtime, and the work is completed on effectively and efficiently. Devise a plan for remote time off.

4) Timeframe for going remote effectively.

5)Communication plan for going remote and returning to work. How will you know when to start the return-to-work planning and messaging?

6) Plan to support and engage remote workers.

7) How will you maintain trust?

8) How will you measure performance?

9) Provide a list of resources the department will need, where they will come from and how they will be distributed.

Remote Team Transition Templates

Your team’s research should help drive your recommendations. Consider the unique issues your particular department may have. Also, consider the diverse needs of your team, including those who may be hesitant or face barriers to working remotely.

Here are some templates that can help to organize your work:

Templates To Help Transition To A Remote Team

Be sure your plan is clear for the executive staff at Speedy Pro. Happy collaborating!

What is missing is more written in the comparison of ZOHO that is better for this business versus Salesforce which is to big of a CRM software for the business that piece needs to be 2 pages on its own. Citations as well for everything. I have added references at the end of this.

Instructions

It is now time to merge some of the information from the last few weeks. In this assignment, utilize the Marketing and Sales Plan template to generate a simplified plan your venture. You will notice that some of the information needed was generated in previous lessons. That is okay, you can use that information; however, be sure to incorporate feedback from your instructor and peers.

In this Marketing and Sales Plan:

Product/Service Description

Customer Relationship Management

Add two (2) more goals and expand on strategy, approach and improvement opportunities.

Compare and contrast the customer relationship management program you selected with one of the programs you did not select. Explain why the program selected was the better choice.

Marketing and Sales

Create an advertisement for each digital form you identified as appropriate for your product/service.

Sales Forecasting Model

Select two (2) of the models from our lesson. Compare and contrast the models. Discuss which one would better fit your venture starting in Year 2 of your business.

The assignment should be 5-6 pages (excluding the title, abstract, and reference pages).

Here is the template:

Marketing and Sales Plan Template

Venture Overview

Provide information on venture. Be sure to include name, description of product/services, location, and customer information.

This business venture is a home base assisted living facility that will provide excellent care for

the elderly in a home environment. The name of the facility is called World Class Vineyard Care

and will be offering affordable pricing for semi and private rooms in a beautiful home

environment. Along with this the business will have, experienced facilitators and health care

workers that are compassionate in working one on one with each patient. The location will be in

the Inland Valley where there is next to nothing with regard to a home care assisted living for

one on one care. This is an ideal facility for family members that are looking for a nice transition

for elderly care for their parent or loved one.

Product/Service Description

Earlier in the course you created a two-slide presentation describing your product/service. Incorporate feedback from your instructor and classmates and place the information here.

The feedback I received from my classmates were in line with what I had written the

consensus as that everyone really got what this business was doing and that the presentation

answered the solving of concerns that a family would have in searching for a professional in

home assisted living facility. I had some feedback from my professor stating that I should

have incorporated some of the references as in testimonies in the slide presentation instead of

the last page stating that an investor could inquire about them. I also got some feedback

stating that it was cool I did add the last page as an invitation to a potential investor and that

was a nice touch to only a few slide presentation. Over all the slide presentation was

successful and the comments and feedback reassured me that this business is on the right

track in the selling points and unique value propositions I created.

Customer Relationship Management

Earlier in the course you completed the table below. In addition to the original information you provided, add two (2) more goals and expand on strategy, approach and improvement opportunities.

This was the previous assignment

Target Customers

Relationship Goals (at least 2 SMART goals)

Strategy to Achieve Goals

Systematic Approach

Continuous Improvement

Identify your target customers.

1 Baby boomers and  there parents who are now older and need care

2 lower to middle income families who are seeking affordable assisted living

Goals for establishing and maintaining a relationship.

1 Being specific about ads that address 70 plus age groups.

2  ads for the 55 to 65 age group that are responsible for their parents well- being.

 3 goal of

reaching these customers within a 30 to 60 day period since the vetting process will take time and this will only be a 6 to 8 bed facility

Overarching plan on how to achieve your customer relationship goals.

1Researching the market in the area to see competition

 2 web site presence that will address questions for future clients

3 Lastly a well thought out series of ads that target the demographic of lower to middle class families that need help in finding affordable care

Action steps needed to accomplish goals.

Once the data comes in of how many families are in need in the specific area of the location of the business the next steps would be.

Data mining to confirm

Email introduction letter with flyer to direct to the website

Video presentation on website

Questionnaire form potential clients fill out on website

Look for ways to improve your strategy and approach.

1 Important to follow up and follow thru on potential clients

2 use data to create ads that are specific to the target customer

3 learn from what ads worked and which ones gained less response

4 tighten up comments and feedback that others may say and use in wording for next series of ads

Strategy to achieve goals and systematic approach and room for improvement:

If I were to add two more goals to this section it would be do a follow up online questionnaire

on the website to identify the needs of what a potential family member is really looking for in a

home assisted facility so I could then match what they are saying to an ad campaign using those

specific words and needs and then match those needs in the business model. Secondly, create

another follow up questionnaire to the existing clients and families to see if the business is

meeting their expectations and needs and any suggestions that the business needs to improve on

The next strategy would be creating a video of facility and the patient and family

testimonials.and posting this video on the website. The approach would be to capitalize on this

footage shot and then create some mini-ads created from this video to use as advertising on

Facebook. Future potential clients will be able to now really get a feel from taped testimonials

that speak more clearly than a brochure or pamphlet.

When looking at areas for improvement expanding on the social media follow up of generated

ads that cause a response to the website will help create a wait list for the next facility that will

have more rooms available. Doing a home based facility is harder than a traditional larger facility

that feels like a hotel. This business model has strengths in that the person housed there feels like

they are in a real home with a back yard and their own room and a living room for activities.

This allows each client to feel like the transition from their own home to a new home is not as

abrupt. The next set of ads need to show case these identifiers thus improving on the start up

model to

showcase the next phase of growth and customer satisfaction.

Target Customers

Relationship Goals (at least 2 SMART goals)

Strategy to Achieve Goals

Systematic Approach

Continuous Improvement

Identify your target customers.

Goals for establishing and maintaining a relationship.

Overarching plan on how to achieve your customer relationship goals.

Action steps needed to accomplish goals.

Look for ways to improve your strategy and approach.

Earlier in the course you investigated customer relationship management software. Compare and contrast the program you selected with one of the programs you did not select. Explain why the program selected was the better choice.

I previously chose ZOHO as the best CRM software for this business and still believe it is the

most flexible and user friendly for this start-up. There are also enough attributes in this software

for growth and managing everything from new leads to existing customers and financial

accountability. It also provides many options to expand such as mobile capabilities and

interfacing for eventual expansion between other facilities as the business grows.

The CRM software that did now seem a good choice was Sales Force, mainly because it had too

many options and it seemed a bit overwhelming. It is a great software for a bigger company that

has many divisions and sales teams to manage and keep track of hundreds even thousands of

leads and customers. World Class Vineyard Care is to small for this type of CRM.

Marketing and Sales

Earlier in the course you conducted research on traditional vs digital advertising for your venture. Now, create an advertisement for each of the digital forms you identified as being appropriate for your product/service.

Digital Advertising

Social Media – Twitter

Slice of choc cake less than 200 cal #yummy

FACEBOOK – digital advertising AD

This would be less than a minute video shot of the facility a home showing the beds and staff and a few staged actors in the facility with the following copy as a voice over

“ Are you scared about what the future holds for your loved one”?

World Class Vineyard Care has the answers you are looking for

We offer affordable pricing in either a semi or private room

A medically trained staff that is compassionate in giving one on one care

We also have Covid protocols and a visit room so you can see you talk with your loved one during the pandemic

YOUTUBE- digital advertising AD

This is a 2 minute video ad shot with actual testimonies of patients talking at the facility about their stay, testimonials from the caregivers and staff as well as the family members that chose World Class Vineyard Care and their thoughts about how the facility has treated their loved one.

Sales Forecasting Model

Select two (2) of the models from our lesson. Compare and contrast the models. Discuss which one would better fit your venture starting in Year 2 of your business. Be sure to state the model, features of the model, and why the model would be appropriate for your business. (This portion should be at least 1-2 pages.)

Lead-driven – This is a relationship analysis model. Users of this model analyze the relationship with customers to determine next actions (i.e., buying) based on the relationship between the business and the customer.

Length of Sales Cycle – This model focuses on the closing of a deal based on where the deal is in the sales cycle.

Opportunity Stage – This model works through the sales pipeline and predicts which opportunities are most like to become closed deals.

Historical – This is the traditional review past sales data model.

Multivariable Analysis – This model combines various pieces of other models to determine future sales. Areas such as sales rep performance, pipeline conversion, and other areas are analyzed to determine future sales.

World Class Vineyard Care would still benefit from lead driven and opportunity stage. The first

sales forecasting model in this business would be lead driven as this business for the first home

care facility will only be 6 to 8 beds. By year two if the business model is successful a second

location will be its next goal and focusing on a lead driven model with a emphasis on word of

mouth recommendations from doctor relationships should help the second location build its bed

count.

The second would be the opportunity stage in the assisted living market this stage is vital for

growth as when a new bed opens up or a new location is looking to fill the beds this is the best

time to go after the existing pipeline that predicts the opportunities on what worked in the past. If

the referral and recommendation method works then these two sales forecast methods will prove

successful for this business.

Sales and Marketing Plan

One (or maybe two) of the most important plans developed for your venture is the sales and marketing plan. In some cases, the two documents are combined into one plan: a sales plan with a marketing section or a marketing plan with a sales section.

Sales vs Marketing Plan

It is not uncommon to merge the two plans as the information from each complement each other. Milano (n.d.) describes marketing as the “big picture” and sales as a “targeted tactical document” (para. 1). Just as we learned in the previous lesson with marketing vs advertisement, marketing is the book and sales is a chapter within the book.
No matter if you are working on separate plans or merging information, you must identify and understand your target market. Without this information, either plan will not provide a solid foundation to selling your product/service.

Sales Plan Topics

A sales and/or marketing plan will encompass various topics. As you grow you will add additional areas to the plan. For our purposes, we will look at the following topics and you may have already addressed some of these topics in this course or previous courses:

Product/Service Description

What is your product/service? How does it address customer need(s)? What makes your product better than the competition?

Competition

Who are your closest competitors? What makes your product/service better or different from theirs?

Target Customer

What are the demographics (i.e., age, gender, location, etc.) of your target market?

Customer Relationship

What are your customer relationship goals? How will you maintain your relationship with customers?

Advertising

What style of advertising will you use to market your product/service (i.e., traditional or digital or combination)? What is your budget for advertising?

Sales Forecasting

What are the future sales of your product/service? How will your advertising style support your forecasting?
The items listed above are not all inclusive. As you grow the information may change and you will need to add additional information.[supanova_question]

Managing by the Numbers Katherine Potter knew a good thing when she

Managing by the Numbers

Katherine Potter knew a good thing when she saw it. At least, it seemed so at first. She was traveling in Italy when she spotted pottery shops that made beautiful products ranging from ashtrays to lamps. Some of the pottery was stunning in design.

Katherine began importing the products to the United States, and sales took off. Customers immediately realized the quality of the items and were willing to pay top price. Katherine decided to keep prices moderate to expand rapidly, and she did. Sales in the second three months were double those of the first few months. Sales in the second year were double those of the first year.

Every few months, Katherine had to run to the bank to borrow more money. She didn’t really discuss her financial situation with her banker because she had no problems getting larger loans. You see, she always paid promptly. To save on the cost of buying goods, Katherine always took trade discounts. That is, she paid all bills within 10 days to save the 2% offered by her suppliers for paying so quickly.

Most customers bought Katherine’s products on credit. They would buy a couple of lamps and a pot, and Katherine would allow them to pay over time. Some were very slow in paying her, taking six months or more.

After three years, Katherine noticed a small drop in her business. The local economy was not doing well, and many people were being laid off from their jobs. Nonetheless, Katherine’s business stayed level. One day, the bank called Katherine and told her she was late in her payments. She told them she had been so busy that she didn’t notice the bills. The problem was that Katherine had no cash available to pay the bank. She frantically called several customers for payment, but they were not able to pay her, either. Katherine was in a classic cash flow bind.

Katherine immediately raised her prices and refused to make sales on credit. She started delaying payment on her bills and paid the extra costs. Then she went to the bank and went over her financial condition with the banker. The banker noted her accounts receivable and assets. He then prepared a cash budget and loaned Katherine more money. Her import business grew much more slowly thereafter, but her financial condition improved greatly. Katherine had nearly gone bankrupt, but she recovered at the last minute.

Answer the following questions about the Managing By The Numbers Case Study:

How is it possible to have high sales and high profits and run out of cash?

Why did Katherine do better when she raised her prices and refused to sell on credit?

What was the nature of Katherine’s problem? Was she correct to go to the banker for help, even though she owed the bank money? How could she have prevented some of the problems she eventually found herself faced with?[supanova_question]

Wk 2 Assignment Total Quality

Part 1: How Japan caught up with the United States

After World War II, America was producing high-quality goods and saw it as a competitive advantage. At the same time, Japanese companies had focused on price. The U.S. failed to read the future and identify how they could sell their high-quality products at relatively low prices. Instead, they ventured into price reduction strategies to counter Japanese competition and compromised on quality. Essentially, America failed to adopt the quality management practices followed by Japanese companies due to a lack of market analysis and quality management strategies and a fear of losing their customer base.

Part 2: Technology adoption in small companies

Small companies have been reluctant to adopt new technologies because of two main factors: cost and value-addition. Small companies are primarily focused on using the most efficient processes to deliver quality goods and services. They want to be assured that the production process will generate returns for their businesses (Chouki et al., 2020). It is worth noting that new technology is capital-intensive. The purchase of equipment, workforce and maintenance are costs that small businesses are not ready to incur. Secondly, they are not assured that the new technologies will produce results immediately. Small companies are not willing to invest in technologies that may take years to pay back.

The cost perspective is one of the critical considerations in the adoption of new technology. Although the initial costs are high, the returns can significantly exceed expectations with the right manpower and good maintenance. According to Chouki et al. (2020), New technology helps small businesses improve the efficiency of production. Companies can produce goods quickly and in high quality, thereby reducing damages and losses and increasing sales revenue.

Business Problems

Business Problems

Child Labor

Globalization affects how issues such as the use of child labor are analyzed. With globalization, there is increased competition between different brands. For instance, companies in the luxury industry have experienced high levels of competitiveness. Consequently, they opt to use every available strategy to gain a competitive edge. Some of them decide to find ways of reducing the cost of production (Rooyen, 2019). They achieve that by seeking out cheap sources of labor. Unfortunately, such actions lead to the utilization of child labor by such companies. An example of that is Primark which has been embroiled in cases of using child labor. Another company that has used child labor is Nike. To such companies, being competitive and achieving profitability take primacy over conducting businesses ethically. In their case, being ethical is a luxury they cannot afford. Practicing ethical business will reduce the company’s market share and profitability. Therefore, opting for unethical practices such as the use of child labor is perceived as a means to an end. The problem of child labor will occur in third-world countries where many global companies opt to outsource their manufacturing processes.

Ethical Dilemmas and Temptations

There is a difference between aspects of temptation and ethical dilemma. In the case of temptation, it is when one is faced with situations of right versus wrong. While the individual might be tempted to choose the wrong alternative, there is an option to select the right choice. On the other hand, an ethical dilemma is when a person is confronted with two right options (Corporate Finance Institute, n.d.). That creates indecisiveness when selecting the best alternative.

I have experienced temptation when managing a business. At the end of the year, I was supposed to offer employees bonuses because of their hard work. Even so, there was an instance where I was tempted to withhold the benefits, use them for other initiatives, and lie to employees the business was experiencing a cash flow problem. Fortunately, I opted out of the temptation to be dishonest. In another instance, I experienced the ethical dilemma of spending time with my friends or caring for my elderly family members. I had not seen my friends in a while, and we wanted to catch up. However, I felt guilty of absconding from my duty to take care of my family. In this situation, I opted to apply deontology and let duty to my family take precedence. I decided that time with my family would bring me the most joy in the long term.

Future Business Dilemmas

An issue facing 21st-century businesses is aggressive competition, often resulting in companies employing harmful tactics. To illustrate, there are businesses willing to exploit workers to lower their production costs and increase profitability levels. In many cases, the laws put in place cannot prevent aggressive competition between businesses. That creates a hostile business environment. The question that ought to be asked is, “what do businesses seek to achieve through the use of aggressive competition techniques?” Answering this question will be based on assessing the motivation of businesses that compete aggressively. The answer will possibly be centered around increasing profitability and seeking a reputation. Delving into this issue will make people aware of the consequence of aggressive competition. The media will play a critical role in spreading this message. Over and above, it will aid to ensure companies consider employees and societal welfare when developing strategies to help them compete.

11/5/21 PHI 1120 Term Paper The reading that I would like to

11/5/21

PHI 1120

Term Paper

The reading that I would like to expand on for the term paper that we were assigned is Peter Singer’s “Rich and Poor” reading. I chose this specific reading as I feel it pertains to a lot of discussions that are occurring in our society in terms of equality for all. This translates to the conversations we see in politics such as free healthcare/education and affordable housing. In the reading, Peter Singer argues whether or not the “affluent” members of society are responsible for the extreme poverty that currently exists in the world. Furthermore, Singer argues if the responsibility falls on such member of society to alleviate the struggles that effect the poverty-ridden population. A common response to this argument is that the poverty-ridden population is lazy and does not want to put in the necessary work required to get them out of the conditions that they are in. This response, while true for a small fraction of people, is problematic as it neglects the issues that are occurring in terms of how wealth is distributed in our society. An example we can observe of this phenomenon in recent times is the shocking wealth transfer that occurred during the pandemic. According to many published articles, such as the Institute for Policy Studies, U.S. billionaires became 62 percent richer during the pandemic while most Americans were heavily impacted. This includes the 86 million Americans who lost their jobs and others whose businesses failed due to the mandated restrictions (Institute for Policy Studies, 2021). In addition, many Americans were subject to predatory like behaviors from banks and other financial lending institutions despite the unprecedented nature of the pandemic like when it came to overdraft fees, credit card penalties and others. Seeing these examples and many others gets a person to not help but think that there is some sort of responsibility that the “affluent” members of our society have on the poverty-ridden population. Peter Singer, in the reading, backs up his argument by pointing out that the hording nature of the “affluent” with regards to wealth contributes to this strong disparity between both populations.

He goes on to argue that if a person is able to prevent something bad than they should do just that. However, the problem that occurs is with the connection he made with the point that if a person has satisfied their needs and has extra resources than they should give those away. The problem with this suggestion is that it neglects any form of constraints or metrics of how much is defined as extra and at what threshold does a person have to reach where they must give resources away. This argument from Singer also comes from a false pretense that assumes all members of society are exactly the same in terms of backgrounds and needs. This, however, was not the only problematic argument that the author proposed in their writing.

Singer attempts to make a connection between a person that let someone die and a person that murders another. The way he bolsters this comparison is by claiming that if a person is living in opulence and chooses not to financially aid those that are poor, then they are allowing them to die. This suggestion is very problematic as it attempts to label a group of people with the same attributes as a murderer. Tying someone else’s fate to a completely irrelevant individual is not a connection that should be made as it is a dynamic that is far to nuanced to categorize into one setting. Another important question to answer is where the line is drawn in terms of who should be helped and who should if they are to blame themselves for the conditions that they are in. Members of society should always help out those who are less fortunate than they are, but they are not directly responsible to each of their fates. These last arguments, I believe, derail the author’s original argument at the beginning of their writing as it attempts to make incoherent claims about dynamics in society. All of these analyses are important points that need to be considered before entertaining these series of ideas.

Singer in his reading “Rich and Poor” attempted to argue the idea whether the more affluent members of society are responsible for the extreme poverty that exists in the world. Starting off, the author makes suggestions that the rich have indeed a responsibility to addressing world poverty. The author, however, began going off the tracks with their argument when he began making claims such as the idea that if a person who has extra resources after sufficing their own needs should give it away. In addition to that claim was the connection the author attempted to make between the rich “letting people die” and murders. As mentioned earlier, humans should strive to help out one another, but they are simply not responsible for every turn in another person’s life. This takes away from the responsibility each person has to work on themselves and to better their conditions.

You read through each of these web sites and become familiar with the information contained in each one. Information in them will form the basis of the background information for your project.

There are six classes of variants to which the most common CF variants can be assigned, classes I through VI (Note: there are a few websites that will show 5 different CF mutation classes; these have older information and are missing the 6th variant description). Information on the manner in which variants in each of these classes causes damage to the CFTR protein can be found at the following websites:

https://hopkinscf.org/knowledge/cftr/#section5

https://www.cff.org/What-is-CF/Genetics/Types-of-CFTR-Mutations/

This website shows only 5 classes of mutations, but the graphic presented is very helpful for understanding the mutation types. The first 5 classes of mutations are the same in each case; the 6th class is a newer variant that is not described everywhere.

Investigating your Variant

Now that you have presented some basic information about Cystic Fibrosis, the remainder of the project will present information that is specific to the variant that your team is investigating.

What variant class does your specific variant belong to?

Use the previous information you have researched to determine which class your variant belongs to. You should describe the specific problem with your variant on your poster and in your presentation.

Now, go to the website at https://cftr2.org/

The entry page to this website will require you to read through and answer some questions in order to get to the database site where you can investigate your mutation. Once you get to the main page, there are three short videos you can watch in order to understand the website and how it works.

Once you have done that, you can enter data in the entry points at the top left of the page ( https://cftr2.org/welcome ); there are two entry points; the first says Enter first variant and the second says Second variant (optional). The goal is to research three possible combinations:

Your variant alone

Your variant in both positions (located on both chromosomes)

Your variant in combination with variant F508del

Each of these will need to be run separately in the database and different information may be examined for each combination. You should report on each of these situations in your poster.

Possible Treatments

There are many old style standard therapies to treat CF, and there are the newer CFTR Modulator treatments. Which of these treatments might be useful for patients with your gene variant?

POWERPOINT PRESENTATION:

Your project should be presented using Power-Point and be in the range of 4-6 slides.

Suggested Powerpoint slide content

Title Slide: You should have a descriptive title to your poster that clearly shows the CFTR variant that you are investigating. Also include names of your group members.

Slide 1:

What is Cystic Fibrosis? A basic description of the disease and why it is deadly.

The basic genetics of Cystic Fibrosis: How is this disease genetically transmitted? What is necessary for this disease to be transmitted to offspring? Describe what it means to be autosomal recessive and how this impacts the way CF is transmitted from parents to offspring.

Slide 2

Describe the structure and function of the normal CFTR protein; how is the normal CFTR protein produced in a cell (stepwise process)? In what types of cells is it found? What organs/organ systems are typically affected by CF? Why? What problems are caused in the different organs or organ systems?

Slide 3:

CF Variant Information: General background about CF mutations followed by the information you have researched about your specific variant and the implications of the different allele combinations that you researched. What class does your variant fall into? What is the problem that puts this variant into this class? What are the most common clinical manifestations for this variant?

What percentage of the population with CF carry this variant?

Is it possible to screen people for the presence of this variant?

The following web sites contain information about testing that can be done for CFTR variants.

POSC 240, FALL 2021

PROMPT QUESTION FOR PAPER II

The paper is due by 9:40 AM on Thursday, December 9, 2021 on Canvas (Assignments).

You are the director of a non-governmental organization that seeks to provide citizens of your country and members of the international community with an accurate sense of the overall state of your country’s population and the quality of your citizens’ lives.

You know that twenty-four months from today, your country’s minister of economics will have a big press conference. At that press conference, she will release the country’s latest gross domestic product figures. Journalists will be able to compare those figures with the country’s previous GDP figures to get a sense of how fast your country’s economy has been growing.

Your NGO wants to hold an alternative press conference on the very next day. At the event, you will roll out some other measure—some measure other than GDP—that you believe will provide your fellow citizens and members of the international community with a better sense of your country’s actual position, the quality of your citizens’ lives, and the extent to which your country is/is not developing.

On which one alternative measure will you concentrate? Why?

Choose one of the alternatives that David Pilling discusses in chapters 10-14 of The Growth Delusion. After briefly discussing the limitations of GDP growth as a measure of development, discuss why it makes sense for citizens and policy-makers to consider your alternative measure.

This paper must not be more than TWO pages long. You must follow these formatting rules:

Maximum of two pages of double-spaced text (a works cited page can appear on the third page).

Font: 12-point Times New Roman (be careful; your word processing software may have a different default)

Margins: 1” all around (be careful; your word processing software may have a different default)

No separate cover sheet

Name, date, and title of response paper in upper left-hand corner of first page

Each new paragraph should be indented 0.5”

References: APSA format (https://connect.apsanet.org/stylemanual/)

Page numbers should appear on all pages except the first

Submission: via Canvas’s “Assignments” functionality. Papers must be uploaded as EITHER .docx or .pdf.[supanova_question]

This section should be at least 400 words long

In this section you help the reader appreciate the merits of the proposed psychological research study for West Baltimore. The structure of this section should follow the below guidelines.

A thoughtful general introductory paragraph(s) about psychological research. You may find looking at the website of the American Psychological Association (APA) to be of help. Its address is: apa.org. (Note: this is an acceptable citation/reference for you to use in your paper). This first paragraph(s) should be about society in general. This first paragraph(s) should address:

The role psychological research has in society

Your thoughts on the merits of psychological research

The relationship of psychological research to economic, organizational, and political systems in our society

Cultural and diversity issues associated with assessment

The initial paragraph(s) should then be followed with a few paragraphs that orient your reader to the relevance of the psychological issues associated with your proposal. They should do so initially for society in general and then for West Baltimore specifically. You should introduce the reader to the general area that you consider you particular psychological issues fall into. Then hone those down so that your reader becomes convinced of the importance that such a study be conducted in order to aid West Baltimore. Include the following:

A general statement expressing the need to comprehend the general area that your study falls into

Transitional statement bringing the relevance to your specific interest area

A general description of the relevant aspects of the psychological variable(s)

A description of how these aspects are relevant for West Baltimore

Description of one or two prior/existing psychological studies that inform the one you are proposing

A modest summary stating the particular relevance of your proposed study for West Baltimore.

Express the need to for such a study – e.g., how it may help society in general and West Baltimore specifically.

Statement of the Problem

This section of the paper should be at least 150 words in length.

In this section, you should:

Briefly restate the research topic you wish you study and the associated variables

Clearly state the respective null and alternative hypotheses in two respectively distinct sentences. Refer to our lectures, and text, for how to write good hypotheses.

Methodology

This section of the paper should be at least 500 words long.

The section should begin with an initial paragraph restating your research question and topic. It should then briefly describe the specific research design/methodology (e.g., correlational, causal comparative, or experimental) you propose to use to study this research question. Subsequent to this statement you should have the following subsections:

Population – This subsection describes who you want the findings of your proposed study to apply to.

Sample – This subsection describes how, where, and how many participants you will use in the study itself.

Procedures and Techniques – This subsection describes what specific steps you will take if you were actually to conduct your study.

Instrumentation – This subsection describes the particular mechanisms (e.g., surveys) that you will use to obtain your data. For the purposes of this paper you do not need to have an actual instrument – but simply state the means by which you would measure all respective variables under investigation.

Data Analysis – This subsection tell your reader what statistics you would calculate and report if you were to actually conduct the study. You should state that you would report the descriptive statistics of the appropriate measures of central tendency and variability of your participants’ demographic characteristics (e.g., age, gender, etc.) and those of the instruments/measures used in the study. In addition you should state that you would use the appropriate inferential statistics fitting the nature of your hypotheses and research design proposed. However, in general, for the following research designs you typically use the accompanying inferential statistics:

Experimental Research Design – Mean comparison tests (e.g., t-test or Analysis of Variance)

Summary and Conclusions

This section of the paper should be at least 250 words long. In it you provide a synopsis of your research proposal.

BA 100- FINAL Project: Informational Interview Paper + Presentation

Project Goal: To apply the professional presence skills we’ve discussed in class and to seek out your own answers and learn about possible careers that may interest you, by engaging in an Informational Interview. The professional you interview may work in any industry/field you are interested in exploring. You will write a 1-2 page (single spaced) Reflection paper and present the class with a 3 minute summary of your take-a-ways of the experience, tying in what you learned in class, and how you plan to apply these things in the future.

Some Resources to get you started :

Take a look at this article with helpful active links! –> Informational Interviewing article.pdf

& Check out this video introduction on Informational Interviewing! https://youtu.be/m6Pa4ZB4mvQ

FAQ’s-

1. Who Should I Contact for an Informational Interview? :

Consider the cool jobs & career roles you’d like to learn more about! Start by asking your family/friends/classmates/professors if they might recommend someone to speak with in those positions.

If you have a LinkedIn profile, use LinkedIn to identify UIC alumni that work for the companies you are most interested in. Include your request for an informational interview in your invitation to connect.

Note: They need not be located in Chicago, as you can conduct an informational interview over Zoom or any other video platform.

2. What Should I Say When Sending my Emails? : 

Tip: Address your emails formally (Ms.,Mr.,Dr.,Professor, etc) to come off in the most professional way possible – until they invite you to use their first names.

In the body of your email- start with your “Self Introduction” and share your own interests/aspirations and how it connect to their work. 

Send these from your uic email and make sure that you include a Signature line which professionalizes you (your name, major, UIC College of Business Administration). 

Example: of a very simple sample email: 

Dear __________

My name is (insert your name here). I am currently a freshman (insert major) student at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I am exploring my career interests/options, and would love to hear about your career at (insert company). May I have 30 minutes of your time for an informational interview via Zoom or some other platform convenient to you? 

Thanks so much for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you! 

Sincerely,

(your name)
(Major – expected graduation date) 
UIC College of Business Administration

3. Then What? : 

Be ready with a plan to schedule a video meeting.  Remember you are requesting their time- so you will want to be organized. 

Some professionals will be too busy to respond, others might be courteous enough to email you back. If they reply or offer to assist at a future time, be gracious and accept their willingness to connect and plan to connect with them in the future.

Remember that you need to find a time convenient to them. This can be during the week or on the weekend.

After your interview be sure to follow up with a thank you note via email. This is very important. Do this the same day as your interview.

Template for the Datat section of Atomic Absorption Procedure: Standard Preparation (Fe):

Template for the Datat section of Atomic Absorption

Procedure:

Standard Preparation (Fe):

A 1000 ppm commercial Fe standard solution will be provided. This solution contains Fe3+ which can permanently contaminate glassware, so you have to make standards in plastic devices. These standards will not be so accurate as standards made in normal volumetric glassware, but they will give you a good idea of the concentrations you are trying to measure.

Prepare 100 mL of a 10 ppm standard from the provided commercial standard provided and immediately transfer the solution into a 100 mL plastic bottle to store for further use.

To prepare 100 mL of the 10 ppm stock solution, ___?_____ mL of the 1000 ppm commercial Fe standard was pipette to the 100 mL volumetric flask and diluted to mark with 2% nitric acid.

Prepare 50 mL of standard solutions of a concentration: 5.00, 3.00, 2.00, 1.00 and 0.5 ppm from the10 ppm standard solution by using 2% nitric acid as the solvent. (Make sure you show all your calculations clearly in your lab report). Transfer all the standards to plastic bottles. The standard with the highest concentration will be used to check the performance of the instrument.

NOTES:

Be sure to show all the calculations clearly in your lab report. Unclear calculation will result in deduction of points.

Use assorted devices for all the dilution when applicable and make sure that the devices are very clean to prevent contamination by trace amounts of iron.

Unknown Preparation: Each group of students will obtain an unknown sample, labeled #1 through # 4, from the instructor.

Analysis of Samples:

Follow the instruction for the use of the atomic spectrometer (SpectrAA 220) provided at the end of the Laboratory Manual.

Run your samples in order of least concentrated to most concentrated.

Record the absorbance reading of the unknown sample. If the absorbance is not within the range of the absorbance of the standard solutions, you have to make proper adjustments. Refer to discussion in Exp. # 6-8 (p. 19) for details.

Conclude your assignment with a brief analysis of your records, determine the affordability of child care to parents, employees and new business opportunities

My proposed childcare Centre will be based in the province of Ontario, Canada. Through history, the sub-urban population comprise young families whose parents are busy working. As such, parental guidance is required to young children. Parents are always ready to find the next available childcare Centre and have their loved young ones bond with their age mates as they work for a better living. The Centre will adhere to all rules and regulations set by the child protection agency. The principle purpose of the Centre is to offer parental guidance and care. The operations of the care Centre seeks to attract children who are above thirty months old. As a mandate to raise an orderly community, the project is supported by all stakeholders. Through the approach of local province government and church leaders, we will manage to obtain subsidy fees and affordable rental premises for the children. The local government will subsidize the fees while the church will give one of unused properties to rent out at an affordable cost.

The charges is based on hourly basis. We project to have 48 children and they will be serviced by five care givers. The Centre will have two cleaners and two cooks. In many occasions, the supervisor will oversee program rollout. All children will participate in daily routine. Through the guidance of Cook, caregivers and supervisor, the children will be trained on cooking, washing of clothes and other routine activities.

Affordability

The monthly charges will be affordable to the parents. The charge out rate for 0 – 18 months old children is $62.5 dollars per month while other categories will be charged at $50 dollars per month. The local provincial government will subsidize 15% of the cost. This will relieve parents off financial burden. The Centre will be open throughout the year. There will be a break on December for half month period. Monthly charges will be based on table below.

Employee pay

Employees will be paid per hourly charges. 5% retirement fees will be paid by the Centre for the employees and a mandatory training will be offered three times a year. To meet the requirements of employment insurance, the Centre will contribute $889.54 per employee per annum for Employment Insurance (EI) which is maximum premium level set by Canadian benefits authority.

New business opportunity prospects

The Centre, through this affordable program, it will create opportunity for employment both directly and indirectly. Directly through employment of staff to manage the operations. The indirect form will come in two folds, first through suppliers who will sell goods such as groceries to the Centre. The second way will be that, by taking care of young children, their parents can concentrate on other job opportunities and earn more. The profitability position of the Centre gives the owner opportunity to grow to other areas. Also, need to improve facilities and childcare programs will came up once financial resources are pooled together and adequate allocation done to deserving areas. This will create more opportunities for growth.[supanova_question]

College shou ld get paid

College athletes work very bard to get where they are and make very Little money. College athletes cannot make money because they don’t have much time to do it. They have to train everyday to get better because they want to go to the next level. Their xz scholarships pay for the tuition but not for bills and things. Every other American can make money but athletes don’t have the time. Athletes who play college sports should get paid for playing that college spott because they put a lot of time and effort into the spo1t and don’t have time to make money. College athletes deserve to get pai d way more than they do because they bring lots of money to their campus and they put a lot of effort into what they do.

College athletes should get paid more because they bring a lot of fans to their campus because of them, which brings in more money to their institutions. College athletes should get paid more because after making a lot of money for their school, the athletes barely get anything. They are very bard working athletes and it took them a long time to get where they were.

College athletes can’t even get a job because they have to train eve1yday because they are trying to get better because they want to play. College athletes should be able to get a job

because they are trying to get money so they want to go broke in college. They can’t get a job because their coaches wou ld get mad because they would get in trouble for missing practice. College athletes should get some breaks from practice so they can get pai d and get a job so they want to be stressed about a lot of things. College athletes

Former college athletes urge people to start thinking about paying them. Some of these college atWetes are cashing on the media deals, but that’s not enough. They deserve a lot more. While these athletes are working so hard and putting in the hours to play and get better so they can play in the pro .

They don ‘t get any profit. But all the money coming in through the tickets, concession stands and eve1ything is making so much and the people who run those are making lots of money but the players are not getting anything. People want a change and it is flying to happeo.Thjs has never happened before and if they do this right the players may have chances down the road to get contracts. This could happen because the players will be better and could train more to make the money and wouldn’t have to wony about their regular jobs. You’ve got a multibimon-dollar industry and these players still aren’t getting the money they deserve. The only group that can’t make money l jke any other American are athl etes. They deserve the money because they work for it and need it so they can have some wear to stay.

Tbe athletes also have bi lls and other payments they bave to pay and since they don’t bave a job and can’t make money for playing college sports they can’t pay for those bills. College athletes make nothing fiom playing; they only get the tuition. The tuition only pays for the school stuff Like books and rooms. From Looney, DouglasS. “Cash, check, or charge?” He states that ”We should treat athletes in every way like every other American student.” He means that every other American student bas the opportunities to make money but athletes don’ t because they don’t have any time to do so.They are training and working for hours a day and also bave school on top

of that. Zissou, Rebecca. “Fair play: should college athletes get paid?” She talks about athletes who work just as hard as other Americans and that they should receive a fair day’s pay.

These athletes work all the time and still don’t get paid like other Americans. Athletes need to be paid and deserve the pay because of all the hard work they put in to get where they are.

College athletes work really bard to get where they are and make no pay. College athletes cannot make money because they don’ t have much time to do so. The scholarships pay for the tuition but not for bills and things. Every other American can make money but athletes don’t have the time. Athletes who play college sports should get paid for playing that college spott because they put a lot of time and effort into the spo1t and don’t bave time to make money.

Some people might say that college athletes shouldn’t get paid because they have a scholarship . College athletes work extremely hard to get a scholarship so they shoul d get pai d more. College athletes should get paid more because they bring a lot of attention to their school.
