business perspective in natural science

February 7, 2020 3 Comments APA, Business and Management

part 1 Using one of the two articles you just read, explain in a short paragraph why you think scientific evidence provided by Patterson or by researchers examining the effects of second-hand cigarette smoke was countered so strongly by the big petroleum and tobacco companies. How do you think the “big money” provided by these industries to fund alternate research efforts reflects the importance of the role of funding in research?

2.    What did you already know about the topic before selecting the news story? What opinions or assumptions had you made about it?

3.    Which concepts covered in the course relate to your news story? How?

4.    What question do you have about the topic in the news story? Select one question that interests you based on your topic exploration graphic organizer and previous responses.

Bad user interface

February 7, 2020 1 Comment APA, Computer Science

Create a post describing something in your life that has a bad user interface. It does not have to be computer related, though a bad computer interface would certainly be on topic. In your post include the following:

An image of the interface. You can take a picture of it, or a screen capture, and then embed the image within your discussion forum post, rather than uploading it as an attachment. If not, see if you can find an image of your interface on the web to use.*
Describe what about the interface makes it so bad.
Make three design recommendations for improving the interface.
*If this is an interface from a system or device you use for work, please make sure it is appropriate to share an image of it with the class! If you’re in doubt, do not use it!

REMEMBER: Your initial post should be approximately three paragraphs (150 words per paragraph) of content.

Marketing Strategy

Problem Statement Rubric

Proper problem statements are constructed from an awareness of the realities of the business world. Reciting what the case gives you as a problem is wasteful. Discussing the history of the industry is probably not useful either.

The following rubric is based on the idea that the real world creates limits. That is: There are only so many marketing strategies that make sense given the real conditions.

Therefore, to quickly analyze any case follow the rubric to develop a complete Problem Statement:

  1. Identify the organization type,      industry, and business orientation. Organizations tend to be either      Finance focused, Production/Operations focused, or Marketing focused. If you think the organization has a      different focus, or multiple foci, it would be smart to read the case more      deeply.
  2. Identify the industry and product      lifecycles. Lifecycle is not a      fact, it is a tool for analysis.
  3. (If relevant) Identify the      relationship of the SBU to the organization. Note: in some cases the      organization and the SBU are the same. Think BCG.
  4. Discuss the competitive      environment. Think 5-Forces Model.
  5. Discuss the resources      available. Not just money, but      things like patents, people, brand, channels, distribution systems, and      workforce.

Help Too

February 7, 2020 4 Comments Business & Finance

As a leader, how do you know when it is appropriate to lead and when it is appropriate to follow? How can you foster leadership skills in your team members so they too feel confident enough to lead when the situation calls for it?

journal article summary

February 7, 2020 3 Comments APA, Psychology and Education

You will complete 1 Journal Article Summary that relates to the Social Psych Topic each module/week for modules/weeks 2-3 & 5-7. The idea is to find research that relates to each weeks topic to better understand the topic, and to get a better understanding of the research related to each topic. To find these potential articles, you can search google scholar, one of the psychology databases (i.e. PSYC INFO), or look in a specific journal (i.e. Journal of Applied Psychology). **Please dont summarize the attached journal articles for each week.
You will read the article and then summarize the article in approximately 350 words or more. Remember, these summaries are to help you to remember the most important aspects of each article so you have 5 article summaries on social psychological research that can help you both in this course and in future research and coursework.
Make sure that you include:
–    Title and authors of the article
–    Why the article was written (introduction), and what it attempts to find or answer (hypothesis section)
–    How it answers the question or questions it proposes (method section)
–    What the article found (results)
–    What the results actually mean (discussion)
Be careful to ensure that your answers to the above information make sense to you, as you want to be able to develop the skill of making complex/academic information easy to understand to non-academic people and I eventually will be reading these. Make sure to explain any complex ideas in plain language, and dont assume I as the reader know what you are talking about. Summarize these articles succinctly but yet thoroughly. Each Paper Article Summary must be at least 350 words. Refer to the Paper Article Summary Example for guidance on this assignment.

Submit your Paper Article Summaries 2-3 & 5-7 by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on the Sunday of the assigned module/week.
