...done by Adam C. Wright in a thesis paper done for the University of Richmond in 2008 (Wright, 2008). In his thesis Wright looked at what effects, if any, a tuition increase has at a private, nonprofit, liberal arts college, to the quality of the students that the school attracts. By setting up a model to compare to student quality to tuition increases, Wright was able to measure the price elasticity between the two. Wright's theory was that upper level schools raise tuition to enhance the perception of the quality of the education provided by that institution along with the physical resources available to students. By knowing that tuition hikes at upper level schools will have little effect on that schools ability to draw top notch students, the colleges are able to take that extra revenue and improve the quality of the education provided. Not wanting to lower their actual or perceived quality, private college presidents had little reason to keep their prices down; the worst thing a president could do during this time was to lower tuition relative to that of a less prestigious university (Breneman, 1994). However, the price elasticity of rising tuition compared to student quality at lower level schools, Wright contended, was not necessarily as evident. What Wright did was establish a model of a lower level, private, non-profit schools and compared the effects of tuition increase on incoming student quality. To Price Elasticity measure student quality Wright compared average...

...Contents * History of Blackwater company * Management * Issue * Action * End of organization History Blackwater USA and Blackwater Worldwide – is a private military company founded in 1997 by Erik Prince and Al Clark, Blackwater Worldwide says it has trained tens of thousands of security personnel to work in hot spots around the world. The company, now called Xe Services, was once the United States’ go-to contractor in Iraq and Afghanistan. It has been under intense scrutiny since 2007, when Blackwater guards were accused of killing 17 civilians in Nisour Square in Baghdad. The company and its executives and personnel have faced civil lawsuits, criminal charges and Congressional investigations surrounding accusations of murder and bribery. In April 2010, federal prosecutors announced weapons charges against five former senior Blackwater executives, including its former president, Erik D. Prince. Nearly four years after the federal government began a string of investigations and criminal prosecutions against company personnel, some of the cases have fallen apart, burdened by legal obstacles including the difficulties of obtaining evidence in war zones, of gaining proper jurisdiction for prosecutions in American civilian courts, and of overcoming...

...of the Mega Corporation Board of Directors, Jack Wright felt confident in his assessment of the functionality of the organization. Wright found that the company had a strong balance sheet, several successfully operating businesses, and some other businesses that could be sold. Yet Wright also found that there were several issues that were not being addressed. Wright found that somehow Sam Bigger was keeping John Rock from changing the governance structure of Mega. Bigger’s control of the company is the first barrier towards Mega’s progress as a company. The situation with Sam Bigger is a very common one with entrepreneurs. Sam Bigger started the company many years ago and has experienced a great deal of success. It is a difficult thing for a well accomplished business man to admit that the ways things have always been done are no longer effective. It has become evident that changes are needed in order to stimulate growth and improve business operations. Sam Bigger has so much control of the company that he is a hindrance to Mega and its operations moving forward. The question now is what action should John Wright take in order to break through the entrenchment of Sam Bigger? There are a few options that Jack Wright could take in this situation. Wright considered going directly to Bigger for a face-to-face discussion. Wright chose not to go that because he felt he did not understand his motives well enough. I believe that Wright should have done this first. He may have been able...

...Application Report 1 “Nike Faces New Worker Abuse Claims in Indonesia” The article, “Nike Faces New Worker Abuse in Indonesia” by Stephen Wright, explores the terrible sweatshop conditions and unfair treatment of employees in Nike’s Indonesia factory. In 2003, Nike bought Converse for $309 million and Nike started to make Converse products in two-thirds of their factories. In 2007, one of the Nike factories in Indonesia started to produce Converse products. Ever since the merger, factory workers started to speak out against unfair working conditions, physical abuse, name calling, low wages and working long hours. According to the article, one employee stated that, “We're powerless…Our only choice is to stay and suffer, or speak out and be fired.” (Wright) Employees were also being punished if they did not meet their target goals for the day, one of the punishments being standing in the sun for several hours. According to the article, “an internal report Nike released to the AP (Associate Press) after it inquired about the abuse show that nearly two-thirds of 168 factories making Converse products worldwide fail to meet Nike's own standards for contract manufacturers… twelve are in the most serious category, indicating problems that could range from illegally long work hours to denying access to Nike inspectors” (Wright) The report also stated that Nike had failed to follow their Code of Ethics. (The ethical implications of outsourcing of production in developing countries...

...Media Report Paper Linda McGee & Wayne Miller University of Phoenix Media Report Paper A vital responsibility of an educator is examining the role of the media reporting of testing results. As well, how such results are taken and made relevant to making state and national decisions for education. When scrutinizing the results of testing, several matters need to be considered. Investigation of a report for the appropriateness for making high-stake decisions, whether or not there can be another way for fulfilling that purpose, and the relevance of accessing growth over time all need consideration when evaluating results within a report that is assessing our nation’s youth educationally. In looking at the appropriateness for making high-stake decisions in the description results for National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), it’s appropriate in a way because it is at least the same test being used for all the states and it also is measuring the same grade level year to year. However, the NAEP does not take into account the funding for different school districts. As well, there are cases of missing data for some states in subject areas, therefore skewing the data. Also, it admittedly cannot account for the higher instances in some states of disabilities and English Language Learners. Overall, it is not very appropriate given all the factors that could be faulty in its measurement endeavors to be a tool used...

...Scenario Joe told John, VP of HR at Lamp Electronics, that he had been instructed to use a different and more aggressive accounting method for forecasting and calculating projected sales revenue for the coming year. He believed this approach would mislead the shareholders; so he had to go the HR department. Establishing an Effective Ethical Business Culture: Building an effective, fair, and safe ethical environment is important for employees, the survivability, and reputation of the organization. The HR Focus states (2008), “Safeguarding company reputation was the main concern among 390 senior executives and anti-corruption specialist in 14 countries” (p. 14). Senior executives and the HR department both are responsible for ensuring goal accomplishment. These parties must ensure an effective code of conduct program is established and executed in order to create a fair and responsive environment for all employers and employees; this is how a company builds a positive work environment. Employers work ethic are essential to the developmental of an ethical environment. Ghosh states (2008), “The asymmetry in the employer-employee relationship and the actual functioning of power in an organization implies that an employee or group of employees can never develop responsible and ethical behavior without the support and direction of top management” (p. 68-87). My recommendation to the Lamp Electronics company is to develop an integrity instructional ethic training to teach...

...History in Native Son Richard Wright’s novel, Native Son, is a more than one man’s story--it is a piece of American history we can see in this tale of an African American young man in the ghetto of Chicago. Wright makes several statements about the African-American experience through characters and situations. By using realistic details, Wright successfully shows us what life might have been like for blacks in America, specifically in the city of Chicago, during the 1930s. Maybe one of the most prominent factors affecting the American life in Native Son is the Depression. The Depression, or the aftermath of it, is simply seen as a way of life in the ghetto that Bigger and his family and friends live. It is obvious in how Bigger and his family lived. An example of this can be seen in the apartment that Bigger and his mother, sister, and brother share with the huge black rat. According to James Davidson, editor of Nation of Nations, Millions stayed alive by foraging like animals. “In Chicago, people stood at local dumps, waiting for the next garbage truck. When one pulled away from the pile, read a 1932 report, crowd of 35 started digging with sticks, some with their hands, grabbing bit of food and vegetables.” (Davidson, et al. 949) The image of struggling to survive is evident throughout the entire novel. As a result of the Depression, the government offered public assistance commonly referred to as “relief” to those in need. Native Son also shows the existence of...

...this, but one explanation is associated with the Gallop Poll which reports nursing as the most trusted and ethical profession in the United States (US) (Cherry & Jacob, 2014). Therefore; how can the most trusted and ethical profession coexist with SA, addiction, or an impaired nurse? Townsend defines an individual with a substance abuse disorder as a person who fails at several attempts to control or stop a substance that interferes with that individual’s ability to perform daily functions such as obligations at home, school, or work (Townsend, 2014). It is this impaired ability that endangers patients, coworkers, the organization’s reputation, the nursing profession as a whole, and ultimately themselves. Drug and alcohol abuse is a serious issue that has reached epidemic proportions in the general population (Taylor, Lillis, LeMone, & Lynn, Walters Kluwer Health/Lippincott Williams & Wilkins). It is now believed that the incidence of drug and alcohol abuse in the nursing profession parallels the proportions of the general public (Valdes, 2014). Therefore; ignoring this issue is no longer an option. In order to cease the progression of this critical nursing issue it must be; defined and recognized as an epidemic, acknowledged as a treatable disease with known causative factors, and identified early enough to treat or even prevent. The Incidence of Substance-Abusing Nurses The first known report of an impaired nurse was over 150 years ago. Jane Gibson was one...

...Gentlemen of the Jury, As you have heard throughout the trial, Minnie Wright is an innocent woman. The definition of murder is the killing of another human being under conditions specifically covered in law. Law The prosecutor tried to throw absurd statements in your minds. Mr. Wright was found dead suffocated by a rope. Remember there was no true hardship known about the Wrights’ marriage. Throughout the trial, you were seeking truth. Due to the truth, Minnie’s charges should be dropped due to the facts that there is no hard evidence, there shouldn’t be discrimination on her sex, and there is no justified reasoning for Minnie “killing” her adored husband. To beginning with, there wasn’t any evidence entered into the court favoring homicide. Evidence needs to “cover the burden of proof, admissibility, relevance, right and sufficiency of what should be admitted into the record of a legal proceeding. As you have heard, Mr. Wright was found in a hangman’s noose, and we all know it only takes one to commit suicide. As we remember from the testimonies of Lewis Hale and Sheriff Henry Peters, only strange feeling occurred. Can’t one feel odd at any given time? The...

...in all the school of thoughts faces and say simply that our environment bends and molds us like plato from the second we enter this world. In his book, The Moral Animal: Why We Are The Way We Are: The New Science Of Evolutionary Psychology, Robert Wright addresses his view on this equivocal topic in a feasible and easy to understand manner. Wright turns a discussion that may be declared esoteric into something that the average joe can comprehend. He creates the foundation for his theory on why we are the way we are from a more Freudian and Darwinian view. The axiom for Wright’s novel is that we have a genetic coding that we are born with that is basis for everything we do. What we say and how we act is due to the human nature that is in all of us, and has been since the beginning of human existence. According to Wright, we are animals built with an array of moral equipment that we use only within our mindsets of self interest. As stated in his book, Wright’s purpose for writing this novel is to, “find practical applications of evolutionary psychology…cover the basic principles of evolutionary psychology- to show how elegantly the theory of natural selection, as understood today, reveals the contours of human mind,”(Wright,11). He wants his audience to understand that...

...Name: Tawnee McCluskey Date: 1/11/2016 Instructor’s Name: William Stowe Assignment: SCI203 Phase 1 Lab Report Title: Human Impacts on the Sustainability of Groundwater • Purpose Research and hypothesis if groundwater sustainability will be affected if current human development does not change. • Introduction Boorse and Wright wrote a book in 2010 titled, Environmental science: Toward a Sustainable future, that because of the increased population and growth of people we are using more fresh water than back in the 1800’s. Boorse and Wright explain that the earth’s surface is over 70% water but less than 1% accessible for sustaining life. Boorse and Write also explained that increased use has led to saltwater intrusion into our aquifers and is continuing to contaminate the earth’s fresh water supply (Wright, 2010). • Hypothesis/Predicted Outcome If current human development doesn’t change I do believe that ground water sustainability will continue to be affected. Things like oil spills, agricultural threats, housing development, and other natural events will potentially devastate the natural fresh water supply. • Methods I utilize the material provided from course that provided data related research, along with personal online research. • Results/Outcome The Methods section should also state clearly how data (numbers) were collected during the lab; this will be reported in the Results/Outcome...

...an HR manager to use during the job analysis process. The advantage of using O’NET as a source is that it provides detailed work activity for all occupations. It also list the training, work experience and education needed specifically for the position (Using O'net As A Human Resources Tool For Business, 1999). There is a disadvantage of using O’NET as a source, and it is due to existent validity issues. Most of the data originated from employees’ self-reports. Since there are four parts to each job description, the data most likely would have been polled from a number of employees in the specific position (Reeves, 2009). The next approach involves surveying the supervisors of the customer service department. The supervisors are there to supervise, so you more likely will get an accurate response of what the employees are supposed to be doing from what they are doing. The employees under the supervisor’s watch may exaggerate the position to bring more value to what they actually do (Noe, Raymond, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, Wright, 2013). This could be a disadvantage for HR in finding out the actual responsibilities of the job. After the previous approaches are made as far a gathering information for the job analysis, the Position Analysis Questionnaire is another way...
