...MPE711: Global Trade and Markets ASSESSMENT GUIDE In both assessment 1 (presentation) and assessment 2 (written research article) you will be required to work in a group on the same research topic. Groups should consist of 3 to 4 individuals. Exceptions to this can be made for offcampus students if they can demonstrate difficulty in finding group members. You are free to form your own groups, whether through face-to-face contact or by using the ‘group formation’ forum on CloudDeakin. Ensure once your group is formed that you register it on CloudDeakin. You are required to finalise your group formation by the second week of trimester. GROUP WORK TIPS Your group will benefit from diversity. You are encouraged to form groups with a broad range of skills covering quantitative analysis, writing, editing skills and leadership skills. You should also try to form groups that cover diverse industry groups and cultural backgrounds. You should consider appointing a leader for the group. The role of the leader is to coordinate meetings and set deadlines. However, the group should still agree on decisions made by the leader and the group cannot expect the leader to bear responsibility for the group’s performance. At the initial stage, avoid assigning different tasks to each member. You are encouraged to work as a group, meaning you should first think about the project as a whole, write down some bullet points, and then meet together to work out a plan prior to the assigning of tasks...

It discusses five different elements; (1) how each theory that applies to the sociological institution, (2) what is the same and differences, (3) how each theory affects the views of the individual who is part of the institution, (4) the approach to social change within the institution, and lastly (5) how each theory affects the views of society. Along with how does each theory apply to the sociological institution or economics. The functionalism theory in regards to economics does certainly affect the world which we live in. This change is noted by Hegelian dialectics, functionalism and structuralism, (Karsten, 2005). There are economies becoming intertwined within the increasing internet of the global economy. Enterprises have developed a global idea by internationalizing their products and services, encouraging labor and capital to move quickly among industrialized countries, affecting social, fiscal, and monetary policies. Additional developments have increased awareness on a global scale, human rights, the environment, demographics, and natural...

...Current Business Research Project Paper There are many different ways to conduct research in business. One of the forms that will be written about here is qualitative research. The paper will be written on the following paper Define the business research and its purpose This paper shows the qualitative research on international trade and development. It shows the development of sales strategies in the international environment. It also shows what social and cultural differences occur when creating a sales strategy in a foreign environment. It also shows how difficult to conduct business in other countries, due to the ethical, cultural and religious values of other countries. Explain the Business Problems under Investigation The problem seen in the paper is developing business in other countries. This is mainly due to the development of international trade. The development of business in foreign countries is made by cross cultural, economic and geographical differences. These differences tell us that individuals in other countries will react differently to those here in the United States of America. Describe the Data Collection methods used in the Research Project One of the research methods in this paper is an in depth interview. This type of research is different from a focus group because it is a one on one interview. So the information gathered is more in depth and more information can be gathered. The number of interviews can be small or large. The interviewee...

...Chapter three introduces the term 'intersectionality' to reflect multiple disadvantages that may be experienced through the intersection of race, class, and gender. Specifically, women of color experience lower wages, higher levels of poverty, and lower standards of living than other people in society. For this assignment, I would like for you to focus on African-American and Latina women in the work force. You will be doing some outside research on your own to find out what occupations are dominated by these two groups of women. I want you to also look at education levels attained by these two groups of women (no college, bachelor's, MA, PhD). After researching these facts, compare your findings to another group of women, either white women,...

...invention Commercial Break!!: Creative Play With Media Influence Purpose: Works well to introduce a personal visual media paper, or other media analysis paper, because it encourages students to think critically about their childhood experiences with TV, etc in a personal, creative way. The exercise may become an early paper draft, or simply stimulate their thinking about the programs and commercials they have watched, and how these media affected them. Description: Students will write creative narratives about a childhood TV experience, then trade papers with another classmate, who will assess the program, the narrator, and then complete the narrative with a commercial break description suited to the program and audience. You may want to have your own example written up to read to them before each step, just to get them thinking about what’s possible. Suggested Time: 20 minutes to a full class period Procedure: Ask the class what their favorite shows were as kids: cartoons, sitcoms, even documentaries. You may want to bring in a few stills or uTube clips to project (in a tech class), as a memory jogger (ex. The Cosby Show, Ren & Stimpy, etc). Once you’ve discussed a nice variety of TV programs, ask the class to freewrite for 5-10 minutes (however long you wish to tell them) in first-person P.O.V. about their experience watching a show like these as a kid. They should be specific and detailed, writing whatever comes to memory about what’s going on in the program and their thoughts/reactions/and...

...of being able to run regressions, do statistical testing, solve analytic models or whatever, but they often fail to demonstrate that they have thoroughly thought about their papers—in other words, when you push them about the implicit and explicit assumptions and implications of their research models, it appears that they haven’t really given these matters much thought at all.[1] Too often they fall back on saying that they are doing what they are doing because that is the way it is done in the prior literature, which is more of an excuse than a answer. (Of course, once a researcher reaches a certain age, they all feel that youngsters aren’t as good as they were in the good old days!) Therefore, in this class we shall go beyond simply studying research in managerial accounting. For many of you, this is your first introduction to accounting research and to PhD level class. Hence, in these classes we shall also learn how to solve business problems systematically and to understand what it means to have thoroughly “thought through” a paper. We begin not with academic research, but with some real world cases, because we should never forget that ours is an applied research field: accounting research is a means towards the end of understanding business and is not an end in itself, in the way pure science research is. Developing a systematic procedure for solving a real world business problem is the starting point for developing a...

...and Symbian are both big companies, it is easier to find and collect information and references for the background information. The subject is linked to the theoretical framework. This proposal describes how Porter’s five forces are applied to Nokia. As it is said Symbian can be considered as an important external factor, which influences Nokia’s profits. The paper emphasises on the powers of suppliers in the five forces analysis and thus conclusions for the dependency of Nokia can be made. It also illustrates other forces in Porter’s model like the competitors force. The topic of the bargain power of consumers is also described well: Consumers choice is affecting Nokia’s profits since Nokia is missing the target market preferences as consumers lean towards high end phones and not the cheap supply Nokia has. However we think that the threat of new entries should be dealt in more detail. The topic of the research is clear and specific though it focuses a little too much on Symbian as the main factor. The “decreasing innovation and market share of Symbian” can be described in the sub questions. And in my opinion, the group has too many sub questions. It is...

...Solution: Global Communication Rona Brown University of Phoenix MPLB/500 David Rollins Problem Solution: Global Communications Global Communications feels the pressures of the industries with trying to keep up with its competitors and watching its stock prices fall. Yet the stockholders are giving them a lot of pressure to correct the problem. They need to offer better services than what their competitors are providing to their customers. This paper will discuss the background, the problem, the end goals, alternative solutions, risk assessment, the optimal solution, and lastly the implementation plan. Situation Background (Step 1) The total telecommunications industry has collapsed into hardship due to the Cable Companies inflowing the competition but Global Communications has been hit hard with not just the improved competition but smaller profit margins, the costs of doing business, and have realized that they need a new tactical plan, but will need help in implementing this. The problem is not actually noticeable, as one may think. It is easy to say that there is a substantial amount of competition and blame outside entities for their anguishes. In the long run, the real issue is GC's incompetence to successfully compete with new companies in the market (i.e. cable companies). Often this is the minor to a failure to discriminate their services from those of the competitors. It echoes as if their attempt at variation has been our Control as Individuals. This has double the...

The literature is reviewed briefly as under: Research papers on self help group’s attempts to explain the process of women’s empowerment and find out its effectiveness in their lives.
