Do you think that the tax cuts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will increase economic growth and taxable income so much that tax revenue will increase?

August 23, 2019 2 Comments Uncategorized

There has been discussion about whether the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that took effect in 2018 will increase tax revenue. Tax revenue can be thought of an as average tax rate multiplied by taxable income. If the average tax rate falls while taxable income stays the same, tax revenue will fall. But what if the tax cuts increase taxable income? Both of the major schools of thought in macroeconomics (Keynesiansand Neoclassicals) believe that tax cuts increase economic growth. Economic growth increases taxable income. Our recent economic growth has brought unemployment down to historically low levels.

 

Think about this. Reply to these questions to begin your discussion:

 

  • Do you think that the tax cuts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will increase economic growth and taxable income so much that tax revenue will increase?
  • Or do you think that the tax cuts will reduce tax revenue? Explain your answers.

Industrial Espionage

August 23, 2019 3 Comments Uncategorized

Consider this hypothetical situation:

David Doe is a network administrator for the ABC Company. David is passed over for promotion three times. He is quite vocal in his dissatisfaction with this situation. In fact, he begins to express negative opinions about the organization in general. Eventually, David quits and begins his own consulting business. Six months after David’s departure, it is discovered that a good deal of the ABC Company’s research has suddenly been duplicated by a competitor. Executives at ABC suspect that David Doe has done some consulting work for this competitor and may have passed on sensitive data. However, in the interim since David left, his computer has been formatted and reassigned to another person. ABC has no evidence that David Doe did anything wrong.

What steps might have been taken to detect David’s alleged industrial espionage?

What steps might have been taken to prevent his perpetrating such an offense?

Your employees are doing the best that they can to ensure the success of your organization during this time of being understaffed, but the CEO, CFO, managerial staff, etc. know that the company needs to hire new employees

 

 

 

For this Critical Thinking Assignment, please do the following:

 

  1. Provide information about the technology industry. Specifically, explain details, through conducting research, regarding the competitive nature of this industry.
  2. Make a case for hiring either full-time, contingent, or contract employees. Explain the benefits and drawbacks of hiring your selected workforce type(s).
  3. Since you will need to recruit over 100+ technology employees, given organizational growth, explain if you believe that the recruitment function should be kept in house or outsourced. Justify your rationale.

 

  • You cannot use Wikipedia or any CSU-Global assignment. For this assignment, a credible source is defined as:
    • A scholarly or peer-reviewed journal article.

    1. Summary of the article
    2. Overview of the research method used in the study presented within the article
    3. Findings from the research
  • Compare the three articles by evaluating the similarities and differences in their findings.
  • Use the findings from these articles to evaluate how this can all be applied within an actual organization in alignment with the scholar-practitioner concept. How does the theory and research translate into practice?
  • Make sure to write your evaluation as if you were going to submit to a scholarly journal. Select a journal that you would submit it to, and state why you chose that journal. Find out the information about how to submit to that journal and what the criteria are for article submission. Explain that process and those criteria.

    NOTE: Keep in mind that one of your artifacts for your ePortfolio is a paper submitted for publication, so you want to get into the practice of writing this way and researching submission requirements for different scholarly journals.

For this assignment you will conduct an observation of young workers in any New Jersey mall  and compare what you see to Besen’s and Tannock’s description of young workers in mall establishments.

 

Step 1: Make sure you have read the reading!!  These are the readings found in Teenage Workers Part, 1, 2, and 3.   

 

Step 2: Make a list of what you expect to see at mail retail stores based on the readings.  You will turn this list in with your write-up.

 

 Step 3: Conduct your observation. You are just to observe NOT interview any of the workers or customers.  Make sure to collect data on:

 

  • The Workers: how many people are working, who is working where, what are the demographics of the workforce (approximate age, gender, race) what are their uniforms/dress like, are they smiling, what do they look like; is there any evidence of emotion work
  • The Work: does it look like they have fun; what work practices did you observe; does there seem to be socializing/friendships; what is the nature of the work, what is the condition of the store (clean, dirty, etc); did you observe any hiring signs
  • The Store Atmosphere: what store are you in; what does the store look like; what music is playing; what is the ‘feel’ of the store; what customers does the store cater to; how is that displayed; what product  is being sold;  what type of customers came in the store (age, gender, race, etc) how do customers behave; how do the customers and workers interact’ are the customers young/old;

 

Step 4: Write up your observations and compare them to Besen and Tannock’s description of mall work.  In particular compare the demographics of the workers (gender, race); presentation of workers”, the role of consumption and the amount of “socializing” that goes on.  Did you see what you expected to see based on the readings?  What didn’t you see, or what did you see that surprised you? Did your mall stores seem like the model one for teens? Why or Why not?

 

Step 5: Upload a file that includes a write-up of your findings.
