Examples of Outsourcing Determinants of Income Differences

Page 1 initial discussion

********************************************************
The first page will be for the intrusions down below.
Select one topic, then post and concisely defend your view. You may post to both topics, but are required to only select one for your initial post.
Be careful to identify the positive reasons for your normative position. Read and respond to your fellow student’s postings at will. The topics to choose from are:
1. Examples of Outsourcing. Identify one example of outsourcing that you have observed or desire to research. Be certain to apply the economic analysis of Chapter 28 in your post and tell us what you believe was the most significant economic factor in the outsourcing you described. Examine the labor and product markets involved. Lastly, should there be any changes you would favor to any laws or regulations that accommodated the outsourcing?
2. Determinants of Income Differences. Identify one of the determinants of income differences as enumerated in Chapter 30 which you have personally observed or desire to research. Be certain to tell us what you believe was the most significant economic factor in determining the wages for the labor market you selected. Lastly, should there be any changes you would favor to income policies and why?
Note: A post that merely recites an example, without offering economic analysis or responding to the questions assigned, garners few points.

Once you submit the first page to me the second page will come from a follow up question from the professor regarding the submission (3-5 sentences) and a response to a fellow student’s postings (3 -5 sentences).

Costing Systems As it relates to Ezra and Nehemiah

Costing Systems As it relates to Ezra and Nehemiah

The paper topic is costing systems – job costing & activity-based costing and how it relates to Ezra rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem and Nehemiah rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem.

My assignment is to complete only the abstract, introduction and conclusion of the paper based on the information that is attached which is from my other classmates in my group.

Everything must flow as if one person wrote it.

The Thesis Statement for this paper is: Costing systems are evidenced in the Bible with Ezra’s reconstruction of the temple, and Nehemiah’s rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem.

The introduction should include the thesis statement.

The conclusion should tie the costing systems to Ezra and Nehemiah and sum up the analysis with the introduction.

Sources aren’t necessary, but if used the source should come from sources already used from the other parts of the paper and/or the bible.

PAIBOC stands for purpose, audience, information, benefits, objections and context.

Read:

You are the owner of the second largest cruise line in the world. You have 7 different cruise ships that sail all areas of the globe. As second, one of your main goals is to become #1. Your company prides itself on customer service and you believe that this avenue affords you the best opportunity to become #1.
Your largest ship, the “World Traveler” can accommodate 10,000 passengers. During a November cruise in the Southern Caribbean, while docked at Barbados Islands, 5,500 passengers became sick from food poisoning. People from America, Mexico, France, Germany, Japan, and Italy were all part of those who got sick. As it turns out, over 3000 people reported sick but only after returning from excursions on the island.
This situation could represent a possible setback to achieving your #1 position in the world unless it is handled properly. So after extensive discussions with your board of directors, it was decided to not only fully refund all passengers that were aboard this cruise (whether they got sick or not), but to provide for a free cruise on any of your ships at any time throughout the year in any part of the world for up to a 7 days and 8 night’s cruise. Passengers are responsible for the cost of getting to and from the point of debarkation to meet the ship.

Instructions:
Develop a PAIBOC that displays your intent as the owner to address the customer service issues encountered by this outbreak of food poisoning. Then, write a generic letter to all passengers explaining what happened, why it happened, what the cruise line intends to do to prevent the situation from happening again, and the remedy to appease each passenger. You will need to be sensitive to the diversity of the passenger pool from three perspectives: gender, race, and nationality. It is extremely important that you do not offend one or more of these groups of passengers in your attempt to keep them as part of your customer base. Note: pay particular attention to the in-class discussion about the subtleties of this problem before beginning this assignment. Turn in your PAIBOC with your written paper.

In the debate over the effectiveness of foreign aid (effectiveness being “foreign aid sent for reason X actually makes condition X better in that country”), the Cold War has become an important variable. What was it about the Cold War (and its end) that had such a big impact on foreign aid effectiveness? Why did this change happen?

For this assignment, you are writing an ungraded draft of a formal proposal for your workplace which will be reviewed by your instructor. You have or will very soon receive feedback on an earlier draft from your classmates. You should use that feedback as you write this draft or your final draft next week. In this ungraded assignment, you will refine your thinking in order to draft a full proposal on something realistic that you can support with credible information for a specific audience and context.

Your initial audience for this proposal is your immediate supervisor, but it’s entirely possible that your supervisor will forward the proposal up the chain of command and may also ask you to develop a presentation for the C-Suite if he or she thinks your plan is worthy of further consideration. (In fact, in Module 8 you will adapt your proposal for a persuasive presentation to the executives or to senior management).

For this rough draft, write at least the introduction; body; conclusions and recommendations; and references sections. (A full example of a report and proposal format can be found in Chapter 15 of Bovée and Thill).

Be sure to include the business situation and context – your organization and/or unit, the name and title of your audience, and the specifics of the workplace opportunity or issue. You will add the other elements in Module 7 when you revise the proposal for final submission and grading. Your rough draft should be at least 4 or 5 double-spaced pages and include a minimum of three sources to support your proposal.

While you will use secondary sources to support your proposal, also include any existing data at your workplace and explain any “next steps” for additional primary research that might be needed to support your proposal. In addition, consider how you will assess the results of your proposed action. Your proposal will identify the positive outcomes on your organization, so your manager will want to know how you plan to assess the outcomes you identify.

NOTE: Whenever appropriate, include a visual element in your proposal. You should do so if you believe your proposal would be more effective with a chart, graph, illustration, or other visual aid, given the subject matter and the needs of your audience.
