The term paper consists of your answers to 4 questions (listed in the Questions’ section below) about the business simulation team game that you played during the semester. The paper is to be written by each student as an individual piece of work and this will be individually assessed and graded. The paper is not part of the team project but can and should make use of the data generated in the simulation by the team. It is vital that your paper is your own individual work and is not shared or plagiarized with or from other students including those who were in your game team.
The student can and should make use of any documents, data and notes prepared or downloaded by the team to record and explain the decisions for each round of the game played. In addition the paper is expected to make use where appropriate of relevant academic concepts studied on the course.
Questions:
Please answer all 4 questions. The questions are not intended to be of exactly equal weight so the paper will be graded as one piece. Provide evidence and support for your answers, citing any market, simulation or other data used, or academic concepts applied. Use Harvard referencing where appropriate.
1. Describe the strategy adopted by your team at the start of the simulation game in year 1 and explain the basis and rationale for your decision. Extend your analysis to include not just the overall strategy but any decisions taken in relation to marketing, production and finance.
2. Did your strategy change in subsequent years? If so explain how, and for what reasons it changed or remained the same, and its implications?
3. What do you consider were the main competitive and market factors that had most impact on your performance over the 5 years and explain why?
4. How would you assess your team’s performance over the five years? On a personal level what did you learn about the task of defining and implementing strategy?
For the course “General Business Law”—You are required to submit 1 current event blog postings addressing legal and ethical issues. The three primary purposes of this exercise are: 1) to encourage you to keep up with the world around you; and 2) to help you recognize just how much our society and your everyday life is regulated and controlled by law; and 3) to help you identify and reflect on some of the ethical challenges in society today.
Specifically, for each blog, summarize the article, indicate why it is important or how it is relevant to the law, provide a brief analysis of the ethical issue(s) and provide a link to the article. Although I encourage you to seek out various sources of information on a regular basis, you are not required to do so for purposes of this exercise. You are welcome to write about an article that you come across in your general daily reading. For example, if you are a sports fan, there are a lot of articles about the intersection of sports, law, and ethics, e.g., steroid use/abuse, concussions in the NFL, etc. If you read Sports Illustrated or other sports news on a regular basis, you may just blog about those types of legal issues. If you prefer fashion or celebrity news, you will surely come across articles about contract issues, copyright, trademarks, privacy, etc. If you read the WSJ or Bloomberg, you will find plenty of articles discussing business practices that you may consider unethical, e.g., failure to recall dangerous vehicles or other products; endocrine disrupters, steroids or antibiotics in the food chain; questionable advertising practices; manufacturing of products in sweatshops in third world countries; companies relocating to other countries to avoid paying corporate taxes; etc.
Remember, just because something may be lawful does not mean it is ethical. Also, what you may view as unethical may well be viewed ethical by others. I’m looking for your analysis of ethical issues as well as your opinions.
Note that if you reference another source in your analysis or opinion, you must provide appropriate attribution. Also, websites such as Wikipedia, ask.com, about.com, facebook, etc. are not acceptable academic references and you will lose points for citing them. Articles must be from reputable sources such as major newspapers (e.g., New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg.com), major magazines
(e.g., TIME, The Economist, etc.), or academic journals. Other sources that are acceptable are Sports
Illustrated, ESPN.com, Vanity Fair, CNN.com, major broadcast news sites such as from ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, PBS, etc. Though they have had some difficulties lately, Rolling Stone has been a good source of information on the financial crisis and subsequent follow-‐up (or lack thereof) by the federal government. In some cases, it is the author of the article that makes the difference between whether the information is reliable or reputable.
You need to be able to identify and differentiate good information from poor information on the
Internet. Generally blogs are not viewed as reputable sources of information. There are however some blogs that are very reputable, e.g., Nate Silver’s https://fivethirtyeight.com/ blog focuses on statistical analysis of election polls, sports, and other issues. Other places to look for reputable blogs can be University websites (in the U.S. they use .edu). For example, Harvard’s School of Public Health has a fabulous blog where their researchers and professors write articles about their research (in language the average person can understand).
In addition to being cautious about relying on blogs for information, readers must also be acutely aware that many sites are now blending news content with advertising content. Such information is being called “sponsored content” or “native advertising”. Such content is generally, and very intentionally, written in the same style as the actual “news” content on the site – but it is advertising and not unbiased news.
he Assignment
Write part of a feasibility report that explores the possibility of developing a new soft-drink. The information you provide will help your team leader and other company executives decide if the plan is feasible. This assignment is located in your textbook on page 697, Writing Scenario #6:
�You work for a large soft-drink company and are collaborating on a feasibility report exploring the possibility of the company�s developing a new energy drink that contains over 300 milligrams of caffeine in a single serving.
Your team leader asks that you write a 3 � 4 page technical background section that describes the effects of this amount of caffeine on the human body�kids, adults, the elderly.
Your group leader also asks that you develop a table that lists the caffeine content in at least five competing energy drinks in order to set up some basis of comparison. If possible, this table should list the energy drinks in the order of their market share�from highest to lowest.
Compose these parts of the report, keeping in mind that your audience is comprised of nonspecialists in the areas of medicine and health. Be sure to consider layout and design issues, conduct necessary research, and document your sources.�
Requirements
Given the scope of researched information that you will need to report to your team leader, this document should be at about 8 pages. An outline should look something like this:
1 page for title, author, date, etc.
1 page for any introductory information, perhaps summarize what you�re reporting
3 � 4 pages of technical background that describes the effects of caffeine on the human body�kids, adults, and the elderly
1 page for a table documenting your competitors� caffeine content, etc.
1 page for source documentation
Use either MLA or APA citation style.
Tips for Success
When writing your technical background, your research will need to be clearly organized for quick and easy reading. You will have to determine which organizational approach works best.
Because you�ll be presenting this report to your team leader, you�ll want to produce an impressive, professional, well-designed document. Refer to chapters 8 & 9 on visual rhetoric, layout, and design as a reminder.
Rationale: Employers have stated time-and-time again that two of the most important skills for success in their organizations is 1) critical analysis and 2) communication and defense of this critical analysis. Unfortunately employers (yes, even recruiters at Smeal) find that the majority of graduates are lacking in the development of this skill-set.
The purpose of this project is three-fold: 1) Force you to review, contemplate and analyze important issues confronting Financial Markets 2) Develop a “keen eye” in terms of assessing the opinions and analysis of others when discussing these issues and 3) Develop writing competence in expressing a critique of these opinions, i.e., learning how to express your own opinions concerning the debate and interpretation of these issues.
Assignment Details: In this assignment you will be developing a writing skill that tests your ability to be both concise and comprehensive when analyzing the opinions and analysis of others. “When you are asked to write a critical review of a book or article, you will need to identify, summarize, and evaluate the ideas and information the author has presented. In other words, you will be examining another person’s thoughts on a topic from your point of view.” This is more than a simple Summary!
This source from the University of Wisconsin Writing Center does an excellent job of explaining the purpose, style and approach for writing a critical review: https://www.writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/CriNonfiction.html I have also included two examples of critical review pieces from Barron’s.
A) You are asked to write a “Critical Review” of Three articles from three different sources: 1) The Wall Street Journal, 2) Barron’s 3) The Economist. You Must Write One Review From Each Source. So, three reviews in total, one from each of these sources.
B) The articles that you review must contain some form of debate, data analysis, policy position, controversy etc. The articles may not simply be coverage or reporting on the topic.
C) As a result, you will have to do some background reading on the topic so that you can deeply understand what is being asserted by the author of your selection. YES-You Need A BIBLIOGRAPHY! You can choose the format that you prefer, APA, MLA etc. etc.
D) Your Review should be One Page-Single Spaced, with a Separate page of Bibliography, And a copy of the Article.
E) Suggested Format (this is just a suggestion—Feel FREE to develop your own approach): 2-3 sentences defining and explaining the topic, 1 Paragraph describing the key points made by the author, 1 Paragraph of the key points of your critique, i.e., counter data, illogical or unsubstantiated facts, etc. etc. and a final paragraph concluding with your suggestions either for additional research on the topic, a different policy approach, or your opinion supported by interpretation of THE FACTS.
The purpose of the research is to examine how firm characteristics such as profitability, size, growth opportunity, tangibility, non-debt tax shield, effective tax rate and liquidity affect leverage. The selected sample will consist of 100 companies listed on S&P 500. The dada for this research will be financial figures of these companies from 2012 to 2015 and will be collected via DataStream. The proposal should follow the structure provided in the attachment.

How does contemporary slavery, as described in Kevin Bales�s Disposable People, fit with its historical antecedent? What are the similarities, and what are the differences? Are the examples of contemporary slavery described by Bales similar to or distinct from Paul Lovejoy�s historical definition of the term? How does contemporary slavery compare with the historical examples from the sources listed below: the sugar plantations of Jamaica and the French Antilles, and the tobacco, cotton, and sugar plantations of the United States? Is the legal status of slavery different today, and if so, what does this mean for the following issues: 1) where and how slaves were �recruited�; 2) living conditions, including subsistence, sexuality, and possibilities for travel, socializing, and leisure; 3) where and how labor was utilized�i.e., in what kinds of activities and in what kinds of enterprises; 4) the negative and positive ways slaves were coerced; 5) and the possibilities for resistance, escape, manumission or emancipation. In each case you must explain your answer thoroughly, and explicitly link it to evidence from the following sources-
