Step 1: Read the following case study:

Following her return home from the hospital, the patient became aware that the respiratory therapy technician on the day she checked out had given her a treatment that was meant for the patient in the next bed. The technician had not checked the wristband on the patient before giving the treatment. This was a deep-breathing treatment designed to make her cough and clear her lungs.

Step 2:  Answer the following questions by creating a coherent and professional essay. You should provide outside research to support your answers.

Would the scenario produce a viable negligence action? If so, which type is the best fit? If not, what element is missing? Are healthcare professionals allowed to make honest mistakes without the fear of retribution by the patient, patients family, and their employer? Why/why not? Defend your answers.

  Step 3: Write a 1 page paper, Once complete, save your file and submit.

What incentives influence firms to use international strategies? What are the three basic benefits firms can gain by successfully implementing an international strategy? Why?
Determine why, given the advantages of international diversification, some firms choose not to expand internationally. Provide specific examples to support your response.
As firms attempt to internationalize, they may be tempted to locate their facilities where business regulation laws are lax. Discuss the advantages and potential risks of such an approach, using specific examples to support your response.

As you have explored in this course, ongoing challenges in the global business environment are mostly attributed to unethical business practices, failure to embrace technology advancements, and stiff competition among businesses. Imagine that you have been appointed as the Chief Compliance Officer of a Fortune 500 company and must prepare a presentation for your suppliers regarding your Supplier Code of Conduct to deliver via email, webinar, etc.

For this assignment, you are to create a presentation using PowerPoint (or other equivalent software) and your research on the Fortune 500 company from Assignment 1. In your presentation, you are to summarize the important changes and explanations regarding the code of conduct that you would communicate via email, webinar, etc. The specific requirements are listed below.

Create a six to eight (6-8) slide PowerPoint presentation in which you:

1. Summarize your chosen company’s Supplier Responsibility information.

2. In your own words, explain how each aspect of your Supplier Code of Conduct is committed to ethical business practices and society social responsibility.

3. Discuss your company’s stance on each of the following areas:

Empowering Workers
Labor and Human Rights
Health and Safety
The Environment
Accountability
4. Identify the key ways that your company’s Code of Conduct has changed since last year.

5. Examine the manner in which your company’s Supplier Code of Conduct helps the organization operate as a socially responsible organization.

6. Provide detailed speaker notes of what you would say if you were delivering the presentation.

7. Submit a reference page with at least two (2) quality references, from within the last 2 years, that you used for this PowerPoint presentation. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your PowerPoint presentation must follow these formatting requirements:

Format the PowerPoint presentation with headings on each slide and three to four (3-4) relevant graphics (photographs, graphs, clip art, etc.), ensuring that the presentation is visually appealing and readable from 18 feet away. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a title slide containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The title and reference slides are not included in the required slide length.

In the Unit 4 assignment, you convinced your principal that you are capable of leading an effective group. Now, imagine you are going to prepare to lead a counseling or psychoeducational group at your school site to improve academic outcomes.

If you will not be working in a school setting, please modify the instructions and make them applicable to your site. For example, if you would be in a community setting, you would present this to your supervisor instead of a principal. The core concepts should be the same.

For this assignment, state what grade level you will work with and explain the target population. Research the foundations of effective group work. Next, analyze what outcomes you would like to see and how you plan to achieve them by reviewing relevant scholarly sources. Your analysis should address the following points:

Describe at least two theoretical foundations for group counseling and how you will operate from one orientation. Consider how this will be an effective framework when working in the school setting. (12 pages).
Assess your own theoretical orientation for group work, including an examination of how the theory will benefit group counseling and group work.
Consider different dynamics that may be associated with the group process and group development. Explain the initial, transition, working, and final stages of groups and what you might expect considering the grades you are working with. Synthesize approximately four concepts that may include, but are not limited to, trust, goals, resistance, fears, and self-disclosure. These are examples; it is up to you to decide which issues you would like to consider when thinking about possible group dynamics for this group. (14 pages.)
Consider some ethical dilemmas and how you might apply our ethical standards, and demonstrate your synthesis of the standards and how you might apply them in a group setting. For example, you might address concerns around confidentiality in the school setting. Demonstrate your preparedness by addressing approximately three possible ethical dilemmas. References should be made to ACA, ASGW, or ASCA ethical standards in your review. (13 pages.)
Describe your approach to forming the group, including how you will recruit, screen, and select members. Consider whom you might contact and how you will go about the process at your school site. (12 pages.)
Describe your proposed intervention and how it may improve academic outcomes. Integrate how you might measure the effects of the group. For example, perhaps, you targeted working with students who were failing one course. You would state that your goals would be to have the students reengage in their academic achievement, demonstrated by earning at least a C the following quarter. (12 pages.)
Review the Foundations of Effective Group Work Scoring Guide to ensure you meet the grading criteria. Remember to address each identified topic as highlighted in the scoring guide.

Your discussion topics are:

1.Do you think that active or passive management is better for investors to pursue? (M1L1)

2.Please tell your discussion group about your pre-class opinions on the need for investing/saving and the viability of using the established financial markets as a means to an end.

Answer each question in a separate post before midnight on Thursday.

You need to post a link in every forum regardless of whether you have Reader’s Choice or not.
Be aware that articles from “Investopedia” and “Wikipedia” do not count…you need to be more academic than that 🙂

This assignment must be typed, double-spaced, and in Times New Roman 12-point font. In total, you should only write about 250 to 350 words. How you distribute your words is up to your discretion. You must upload your document to Canvas. Please ensure you put your name on your paper; you should not include any other headings, titles, dates, or anything else.

Your answers should demonstrate:

that you read and engaged with the book.
your ability to analyze and compare concepts across related subject matter.
an ability to be clear and succinct in your writing.
a proper understanding of the terms and concepts you cite as examples.
Directions: Respond to the following prompts, using your own words (i.e. no big quotes copied from the book).

1) Explain Pellows argument that prisons are a site for environmental injustice (ch3). Provide at least one example from the book in the process of your explanation.

2) Explain Pellows argument that the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is a matter of environmental justice concerns (ch4). Provide at least one example from the book in the process of your explanation.

3) In a sentence or two, describe one major way in which the issues presented in chapters 3 and 4 are thematically connected to one another. This is a critical thinking and reading comprehension question. I am not asking for you to repeat anything about the four pillars or the organizational structure of the chapters; rather, I am asking you to think critically about connections between the overarching injustices presented in Pellows arguments in both chapters.

This is a continuation from part 1.

Overview: For the second milestone, you will continue your analysis of the Nike case study. During this phase, you will evaluate global business and societal
trends that have occurred over the years for their impact on Nike leaderships decisions and attitudes. In addition, you will address the competitive challenges
presented to the leadership team when they attempted to engage in CSR practices.

Prompt: Before any company can implement a major change, it should analyze the big picture. For example, leadership groups must understand the greater
context in which a company operates. As you have read the Nike case study, you will note that over time societys attitudes toward social responsibility have
evolved. As a response, Nike made significant changes in the way it did business.
Your job in this milestone is to identify those big picture global changes and
consider how they altered Nikes views of CSR.

For the second portion of this milestone, you will address the competitive challenges that occurred as a result of the societal and global changes. As with any trends, there are challenges and opportunities. Consider the ways in which changes in the global and societal landscape affected Nike.

Finally, dig a little deeper by considering the implications of these challenges, focusing specifically on the ways in which the leadership team responded to the
larger societal and global issues.
