google

/in /by

Google was established with a clear mission in mind: to organize the world’s information and make it universally acceptable and useful. Google has developed a search engine that accesses information from all over the web for the user. On the back of its popular search engine, Google has also built a highly profitable advertising business. One of the founding values of the company is captured in the mantra “don’t be evil” that Google takes very seriously.

When a company goes global, it is likely that some of the values may conflict with the realities of an international context. The company then has to decide a pragmatic solution, based on its true beliefs, without compromising on its values, to maintain the credibility of its operations and culture among its stakeholders.

Given the information in the Closing Case on page 53, the chapter material for Chapter two, and the impact of subsequent information since the case was written, you are considering your situation.

As an investigative reporter writing an article on the difficulties of maintaining a firm’s vision, mission, and core values when entering global markets. As part of the research into that article, you are considering the ethical dilemma faced by Google as they expand into China. As you are making your notes for the article, you have noted three questions for further research and thought, as well as a need for a facts update. Given those notes you have determined to address the following outline items in an executive summary to your editor:

  1. Factual Update on Google’s current situation in China
  2. Conflicts facing Google’s management team, and board of directors in evaluating their ideal corporate mission against the challenges faced by Google by operating conditions in China.
  3. Evaluation of how the concept of “moral courage” applies to Google as it weighs its corporate future in China, one of the largest potential worldwide emerging markets.
  4. Exactly who are Google’s stakeholders and how do they affect the options open to Google?

Research

/in /by

The paper’s purpose is to provide practical experience in effectively using health care research resources through library databases and Internet search engines and to enable you to write more effectively about public health administration topics. The length of the paper should be from eight to ten double-spaced pages, not including the title page, references, or any charts or tables. The paper must meet all APA standards and your references must include at least five peer-reviewed journal articles.  Grading criteria will include organization, the depth of fact-finding, the depth of analysis, sophistication of thinking, strength and clarity of writing, paper formatting, and the degree to which the paper followed the published guidelines. See the Standardized Writing Rubric in the Course Content for specific criteria.

Please select one of the following topics for your research paper: 

A. Public health partnerships are an important tool for stretching limited resources. Using the literature and information found in this course, explain in detail the different types of partnerships (strategic orientation, categories, and characteristics) and use that information to conduct an analysis of two different public health partnerships. In your analysis, you should describe the purposes, structure, goals of each of the organizations and the two partnerships and how the organizations quantify or measure their success. You should conclude by comparing and contrasting the two partnerships and describe any similarities and differences between them, identify whether one program appears to have advantages over the other, and explain why. 

B. Interview a senior leader or manager in a public health agency about a program that they work in. You should describe the leader/manager’s  background and describe his or her public health program in detail (include its purpose, role in public health, leadership, funding sources and amounts, and the measures that the program uses to measure its success). You should then describe and analyze three significant leadership challenges that the leader/manager faces in their work and describe how/if they have been able to resolve them. You must then use the literature to provide context and to conduct a detailed analysis of at least one of the challenges. Your analysis should result in a minimum of three potential solutions for each of the challenges. Finally, please remember to be courteous to the person and send a thank you note after the interview. Note that interviews may be in person or on the telephone. 

C. Using an accepted change management framework (one example might be “Leading Change” by John Kotter), analyze a public health organization that has undergone or attempted to undergo transformational change. Describe what the organization did (or did not do), what was successful and what was not successful, and describe leader behaviors and actions that had an impact on the effort.  Describe the degree to which the organization followed or did not follow the change management framework that you cite. Ground your analysis with references from the literature.

An action plan is one that focuses on solving a problem associated with a specific circumstance (Erford, 2014, p.154). Action research is usually conducted by professionals that have an interest in making the conditions of their profession better (Erford, 2014, p.155). This type of research is helpful to changing the environmental standards of professionals that are involved or notice problems on their day to day work conditions (Erford, 2014, p. 1540.

The steps for establishing an action plan include

 

1.        Identifying the research question

2.        Gathering information

3.        Analyzing the collected information

4.        Creating action plan

5.        Evaluating the plan (Erford, 2014, p.155)

 

When creating an action plan, one must define the issue at hand and work to devise a strategy that will better the circumstances. After the plan is created, it must be analyzed from time to time to see if it works. (Erford, 2014, p. 155)

There are two types of action research: practical and participatory. Practical action research encompasses the actual implementation of progression in a specific setting. Participatory research would be soliciting the assistance of others to help bring about growth. (Erford, 2014, p. 154)

An example in which I would use action research is to find out why the students feel that the customer service at the university, specifically the financial aid office is so poor. Our specific department is what I call the heartbeat of the university, without proper finance especially for our culture of students, attendance would not be possible. Yet we receive so many complaints regarding customer service. I would create a questionnaire to gauge the student’s expectations of customer service. Why do they feel that their needs are not being meet? The participatory action could be a meeting among other department heads to see how their departments contribute, if any, to the dissatisfaction of customer service in our department or the university. How can we all work together to improve and meet the student expectations? Could we change some of our practices or are we being blamed for the procrastinators of the campus?

Action research is defined as research that focuses on obtaining information that will change conditions in a particular setting or situation (Erford, p. 154). There are two different types of action research: practical and participatory. Action research focuses on the application aspect of conducting a study in the classroom, school, or community where as participatory is similar but involved additional focuses on involving individuals and groups from diverse backgrounds to empower and bring about social change.

A typical action research plan includes:

1–Introduction: Identifying and Clarifying the ACtion Research Question

2–Gathering Data

3–Analyzing and Interpreting Data

4–Creating an Action Plan

5–Evaluating and Reflecting

Public Health Care System

The terms: health care and public health are often used interchangeably. Two such widely used terms are public health and health promotion.

Based on your understanding of the topic, create a report in a Microsoft Word document answering the following questions:

  • Define the terms public health and health promotion.
  • What are the similarities and differences between the two?
  • What specific health promotion activity was provided in your community during the past one year and what was the beneficial result?
  • How did Healthy People 2020 develop and what is the purpose and goals of this program?

Over the years, the public health care system has evolved due to the numerous legislative and regulatory influences. These efforts are being illustrated as legislative and regulatory pressures on the form and function of the delivery system.

Note: Click here to view a link to get a better understanding about the issues affecting the community and nation (Go to Policy and Advocacy > Congress and Federal Agencies > Legislation and Issues).

  • What current legislation has had the maximum impact on the way health care is provided?
  • What interest group(s) influenced the establishment of this legislation?

Mention an interest associated with a health care promotion or wellness program that, according to you, had the greatest impact on the people of the U.S. in the last three years. Provide a description of this program.

The description should include the following details:

  • What were the activities actually associated with the program?
  • How was it reported in the media?
  • What was it about this program that had an impact on you?
  • What population was involved? Why do you think the specified population was involved in the program?
  • What do you think can be done by society to promote this program?

Globalization and Efficient Markets

/in /by

90 MINUTES FROM NOW, iF YOU CANT DELIVER BY THEN, PLEASE IGNORE THIS

Hey, I need this by tonight, Below is the questions that need answering. Below the assignment is an example of what the professor is looking for. Its a discussion response so it only needs to be 3 PARAGRAPHS

 

 

“Globalization and Efficient Markets” Please respond to the following:

  • From the e-Activity, analyze how national exchanges around the world are linked and suggest which exchange most significantly impacts the U.S. markets. Explain your rationale.
  • Analyze the most significant driver in an efficient market and whether or not you would characterize the U.S. markets as efficient. Provide support for your position. 
 
 
EXAMPLE:
 

From the e-Activity, analyze how national exchanges around the world are linked and suggest which exchange most significantly impacts the U.S. markets. Explain your rationale.

If you put, businesses with global interests are linked globally and depend greatly on the currency exchange rates of the countries in which they do business with globally.  Large global businesses exert economic forces in the countries in which they do business.  For example, if my company manufactures smartphones, there’s a strong probability that I use component suppliers from China and Korea.  Therefore, a lower value of the Korean and Chinese currency as compared to the USD benefits me because the supplies will be cheaper.  In another example, a large global corporation may provide significant jobs and revenue in several countries, impacting each of the countries’ currency valuation.  Exchange rate values depend on upon the basic economic law of supply and demand.  If a certain country’s currency demand rises, the value of that currency will also rise to a point at which supply can no longer sustain.  Governments often attempt to control demand by, for example, lowering interest rates to attract investors.  The chart below, obtained from OANDA.com, displays the currency exchange rates of major global currencies for the past five years, the Euro (EUR), Canadian dollar (CAD), Great Britain Pound (GBP), the Australia dollar (AUD) and China’s Renminbi yuan (CNY):

For this reason, I choose the Chinese yuan as the currency rate that most significantly impacts the U.S. markets.  A U.S. congressional report prepared in January of 2011 clearly identifies the reason for the Chinese yuan’s resistance to global forces: The Chinese government strictly controls their currency’s rate, avoiding open capital operations with foreign investors, thereby avoiding the normal supply and demand fluctuations (Morrison & Labonte, 2011).  In short, the Chinese yuan’s value today is lower than what it was in 1994.  The Chinese government has kept the value low intentionally, keeping foreign purchases of their products at a very high rate to continue their economic growth.  As you can imagine, countries like the U.S. blame this strict control on the continuing trade deficit with China.  It makes sense; a weaker Chinese yuan will continue to attract consuming nations like the U.S.  While this occurs, the U.S. dollar will continue to be weaker than its true potential because the higher value detracts foreign countries from purchasing U.S. product, pointing them to China.

 Analyze the most significant driver in an efficient market and whether or not you would characterize the U.S. markets as efficient. Provide support for your position.

According to Reilly and Brown (2012), define an efficient market or ‘informationally’ efficient market as “one in which security prices adjust rapidly to the arrival of new information, and, therefore, the current prices of securities reflect all information about the security.”  Under this efficient market, it assumed that information presented randomly and that a large number of participants who seek to make a profit analyze and place a value on securities.  Furthermore, it assumed that the security prices adjust rapidly, based upon the buying and selling decisions of those investors.  In an efficient market, the current price and expected return should reflect the risk.  This information is used to form the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) that categorized in previous studies as 1) weak-form, 2) semi-strong-form, and 3) strong form (Reilly & Brown, 2012).

  1. The weak-form assumes that the current stock price reflects all security information, including all historical performance data.  Because of this, it implies that you should gain very little from this data since the price has already captured it.
  2. The semi-strong form assumes that prices adjust quickly to all publicly available information.  Therefore, since the information is public, the investor should not receive “above-average risk-adjusted profits” because the price should rapidly reflect the new public information.
  3. The strong-form assumes that all stock prices reflect both public and private information.  This information is cost-free and available to anyone simultaneously.  Again, because the information is rapidly and freely available and reflected in the price, an investor shouldn’t be expected to gain massive high-risk returns.

With lower trading costs due to global connectivity through the use of information technology, studies have found that ‘momentum’ is still a viable source of gains.  However, study results mixed when testing the EMH hypothesis.  With a basic understanding of each EMH hypothesis, I would have to characterize the U.S. markets under the ‘semi-strong-form EMH.’  I say this because I am certain that all private information is not freely available, thus the label ‘private’, and therefore not the ‘strong form.’  U.S. markets now have historical stock information freely available to anyone interested, obtainable with the click of a mouse or tap of a screen.  With the passing of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC regulation, there is also a considerable amount of publicly available information that includes financial statements and future corporation strategies.

Bioweapons and Epidemiology

/in /by

For this part of the assignment, you will develop your weapon from the ground up. Discuss nearly all of the epidemiological criteria related to it, and justify and discuss why it is used and how effective it is. This agent could be a hybrid of other biological pathogens or an entirely new one. If the agent is newly created, there must be some basis and epidemiological support of a similar agent by which you can base your justification. In other words, it will be unrealistic to create an airborne virus that inoculates and kills within one hour. There must be a realistic exposure and incubation time and must be supported through current agent biology or biochemistry (for example, influenza exposure and incubation takes 1–4 days).

  • Name of Agent: Explain why you chose the name. If it is a biological agent, be sure to provide a taxonomic name
  • Etiology: This will talk about the genesis of your agent. Where was it discovered? How was it made? How long has it been around? Why was this agent created? What were the social and economic factors of your rogue nation that made Dr. Madness focus on this element of the agent? What are the environmental precursors to this agent? Discuss the interaction among agent, host, and environment.
  • Identification: This will describe the basics of the agent. Is it a bacteria, virus, toxin, parasite, hybrid, or something else? Discuss how your agent presents within the human population. What are the symptoms in humans? What are the (zoonotic)  symptoms in animals? How does the disease progress? Are there stages? Discuss the various stages including length of infection, severity, and the like. What are the diagnostic indicators? How would a doctor be able to identify this agent in a clinic or emergency room?
  • Laboratory Analysis: How will the agent be identified? Can it be grown in media? What type of laboratory methods can be used to identify the agent (microscopy, chromatography, PCR, and so on)?
  • Occurrence: This is the epi: who, what, when, where, how, and why of the disease. Where does it happen? When can it be found? Who is most and least susceptible to the agent (risk factors). More exotic and hard to find agents are harder to prevent and control but are also more difficult to initiate an epidemic or pandemic, whereas more generalized and known agents may be easier to cure, but have a much wider swath of causing pandemics. How do socioeconomic factors foster or inhibit the spread of disease?
  • Reservoir: What is the natural reservoir of the agent? Are there other organisms where this agent can reside without causing disease? Increasing the reservoir can enhance transmission but can also allow for easier identification and treatment in response to it.
  • Mode of Transmission: Consider inhalation, absorption, digestion, contact, and so forth. If you use multiple modes, justify your selections.
  • Incubation Period: Provide the range with an average (median) day of disease onset. Does the period change in different socioeconomic status identifiers (sex, age, race, creed, and so on)? Why or why not?
  • Period of communicability: How long is a person with this agent contagious? Increasing this period also increases the opportunity for study and thus treatment and control.
  • Susceptibility: Is the agent susceptible to reinfection of the same person? Allowing for this increases morbidity but usually mortality wanes in subsequent infections.

Taking on the role of Dr. Madness, generate your superweapon and describe the weapon using the above mentioned criteria. Remember, the focus in on creating something that becomes difficult to identify, monitor, or treat with prophylaxis. You will write out the proposal as Dr. Madness submitting this to his lead researcher to develop. This proposal should be approximately 6–8 pages in length, but some submissions may be longer.

Journal 2: Turnitin Analysis

/in /by

 

In this Journal entry, you will analyze the data results from the Turnitin report you received after you uploaded assignment 3 to Turnitin. Understanding how to interpret the results will help you understand how to become a more effective and technically correct writer.

Note: In grading every required Journal entry, your Instructor uses a Journal Rubric. Review the Rubric prior to completing your Journal entry. Document: One Part Journal Assignments Rubric (Word document)

To Prepare: Access the Academic Integrity folder for this course. Review the section entitled Turnitin Policies. You may also want to visit the Turnitin website and review the function of Turnitin and the information provided on how to interpret a Turnitin report. Then, consider the Turnitin report for Assignment 2. (Your instructor will be able to view your Turnitin report as well.)

To Complete: Record the percent similarity index noted in your Turnitin report, and explain what that index score means. If you used any outside resources (though you are not required to do so) that helped you interpret and understand the data report on your Assignment, please include the source(s) in your journal entry. Explain briefly how you think Turnitin will help you with your future scholarly writing. List any specific questions you have for your instructor about the interpretation of the Turnitin report or what you should do with this information. Be sure that you get responses to any questions; your instructor should see them in your journal and should answer them.
