What is the misconduct surrounding the unethical incidences in the contracts?

Rush Job Needed in An hour!

For the Unit 4 IP, search the AIU library and Internet for “ethics and government contracts” and policies and procedures or a “code of ethics” for contracts. Locate three specific case examples for unethical incidences dealing with contracts. Review the three incidences and write a 4–6 page paper on the following:

  • Identify the 3 cases.
  • What is the misconduct surrounding the unethical incidences in the contracts?
  • Are the standard policies and procedures or a code of ethics adequate to government contracting (justify your answer)?
  • Identify the violations on the individual involved, as well as the weakness of the oversight of the organization in which the unethical incident occurred.
  • Identify the consequences on the firm and the individual.

Describe the non-financial measures that should be considered and are important to the success of an organization.

Discussion—Performance Measurements

Both the Genesis Energy and Sensible Essentials teams believe that the client engagement was very successful. All the critical learning tools were fully explored. However, the operations management team believes there were several topics that were not covered but are important to their respective disciplines. These topics centered primarily on selecting/developing meaningful and rational measurements of performance as they relate to measuring the success of the company’s expansion strategy. The financial indicators are important, but the team is also concerned about more forward-looking measures that might reflect product quality, customer satisfaction, internal process efficiency, performance, and perhaps, other strategic indicators.

Based on your understanding of the concepts covered in this course, address the following:

  • Develop and describe a strategic measurement “scorecard” that incorporates the financial measures applied in this course. Consider the prospect of new equity owners and explain why this is important.
  • Describe the non-financial measures that should be considered and are important to the success of an organization. Explain why these measures should also be considered in the strategic initiatives of the organization.

Response should be 300–500 words. Your response should be thorough and address all components of the discussion question in detail, include citations of all sources, where needed, according to the APA Style, and demonstrate accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation

Are these formal groupings tribes, or are tribes something else?

Video Discuss

Here is the Video: “Tribes” by David Logan

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATbyOuk0bvE

 

David Logan argues that that people naturally form into tribes.  Logan describes five stages of tribes in ways that sounds very much like organizational cultures.

Organizational structures define the formal groupings within an organization and these groupings have cultures that are defined in part by their structure and in part be the values expoused by their leaders.  Are these formal groupings tribes, or are tribes something else?  Explain.

Thank you~

How did your teaching plans coincide with what occurred in the classroom during the week in terms of setting objectives, planning learning activities, organizing learning activities, and specifying evaluation procedures?

Can you write this 2 pages journal??

The class i am observing is an advanced vocabulary class.

the number of the students are 20

i need you to write a journal answering and refelcting on some of theses questions below…

also see the attachments below !!

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. TEACHING JOURNAL: This is a journal containing your ongoing thoughts about the content you are teaching, your teaching processes, your relationships with students, colleagues, and supervisors and your responses to the readings. See Richards & Lockhart, 1994, p. 7, for more about the purpose of the journal.

 

The following prompts may be of help when focusing on what to write about.  Everyone must address prompt “d” in every entry:

 

  1. How did your teaching plans coincide with what occurred in the classroom during the week in terms of setting objectives, planning learning activities, organizing learning activities, and specifying evaluation procedures?  Don’t be afraid to admit successes or failures you have had.
  2. Detail your interactions with students, colleagues, principals, university and school supervisors, etc.  If you are working with a supervising instructor, evaluate his/her teaching style, instructional procedures, feedback methods, etc.
  3. Comment on any of the following in your own teaching: results of working with individuals and small groups; planning, teaching and assessing listening, speaking, grammar, reading, writing, etc.; teaching a textbook unit over several periods; preparing tests; error correction and feedback.

Which role (if any) was the most dominate / influential in creating meaning?

So how do you create meaning?  For this assignment I want you to pick a song that has been remade (feel free to use the list I have created or use one of your own).

 

PICK ONE OF THEM:

A Groovy Kind of Love – Phil Collins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbF0QLwtwCc

 

A Groovy Kind of Love – The Mindbenders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK7qo0-TwV0

 

 

Home Sweet Home – Motley Cruehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NPQJKaDLgY

 

 

Georgia on my Mind – Ray Charles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Thls_tMuFkc

 

Using terms that you have discussed so far in class and terms that we have used this session, Compare how meaning is created differently in the 2 songs (or argue the opposite – that there is no change in the meaning of the song).  Key things to think about as you craft your response:

1.  We talked about the writer, the singer(s), and the listener and how meaning is a collaborative effort.  What was each person’s role in creation of meaning?

2.  Which role (if any) was the most dominate / influential in creating meaning?

3.  How did each role go about creating meaning?  What techniques were used?

4.  Are there any other “outside” influences (age, time, context, etc.)? How did they contribute?

Assignment Format:  Your “presentation’ should be done in a Powerpoint or Prezi format.  You need to post your assignment to the Session 6 discussion board.  Once everyone’s project is posted, the class will vote for their favorite and most convincing argument (voting will take place on the Session 7 discussion board)

What is Prezi?  Think of it as an “amped up” version of powerpoint.  It is free as long as you use your  ivytech.edu email address when registering.  It’s easy to pick up and use.  They have several guides and templates and samples for you to see.  Check it out!

www.prezi.com OR simply search for “Prezi”

What I am looking for: The use of Terms, Specific Examples and Detail.  Be sure to incorporate all three in your “presentation”.  Overall, how well did you show how meaning is created?  Oh, some creativity in the Powerpoint / Prezi would be good too…  have some fun with it!  Feel free to use audio clips from the 2 songs to prove your points as well.

Answer

How much economic profit do you expect that Robert’s company will make in the first year?

Market Structures and Pricing Decisions Applied Problems

Please complete the following two applied problems:

Problem 1: 

Robert’s New Way Vacuum Cleaner Company is a newly started small business that produces vacuum cleaners and belongs to a monopolistically competitive market. Its demand curve for the product is expressed as Q = 5000 – 25P where Q is the number of vacuum cleaners per year and P is in dollars. Cost estimation processes have determined that the firm’s cost function is represented by TC = 1500 + 20Q + 0.02Q2.

Show all of your calculations and processes. Describe your answer for each question in complete sentences, whenever it is necessary.

  1. What are the profit-maximizing price and output levels? Explain them and calculate algebraically for equilibrium P (price) and Q (output). Then, plot the MC (marginal cost), D (demand), and MR (marginal revenue) curves graphically and illustrate the equilibrium point.
  2. How much economic profit do you expect that Robert’s company will make in the first year?
  3. Do you expect this economic profit level to continue in subsequent years? Why or why not?

Problem 2: 

Greener Grass Company (GGC) competes with its main rival, Better Lawns and Gardens (BLG), in the supply and installation of in-ground lawn watering systems in the wealthy western suburbs of a major east-coast city. Last year, GGC’s price for the typical lawn system was $1,900 compared with BLG’s price of $2,100. GGC installed 9,960 systems, or about 60% of total sales and BLG installed the rest. (No doubt many additional systems were installed by do-it-yourself homeowners because the parts are readily available at hardware stores.)

GGC has substantial excess capacity–it could easily install 25,000 systems annually, as it has all the necessary equipment and can easily hire and train installers. Accordingly, GGC is considering expansion into the eastern suburbs, where the homeowners are less wealthy. In past years, both GGC and BLG have installed several hundred systems in the eastern suburbs but generally their sales efforts are met with the response that the systems are too expensive. GGC has hired you to recommend a pricing strategy for both the western and eastern suburb markets for this coming season. You have estimated two distinct demand functions, as follows:

Qw =2100 – 6.25Pgw + 3Pbw + 2100Ag – 1500Ab + 0.2Yw

for the western market and

Qe = 36620 – 25Pge + 7Pbe + 1180Ag – 950Ab + 0.085Ye

for the eastern market, where Q refers to the number of units sold; P refers to price level; A refers to advertising budgets of the firms (in millions); Y refers to average disposable income levels of the potential customers; the subscripts w and e refer to the western and eastern markets, respectively; and the subscripts g and b refer to GGC and BLG, respectively. GGC expects to spend $1.5 million (use Ag = 1.5) on advertising this coming year and expects BLG to spend $1.2 million (use Ab = 1.2) on advertising. The average household disposable income is $60,000 in the western suburbs and $30,000 in the eastern suburbs. GGC does not expect BLG to change its price from last year because it has already distributed its glossy brochures (with the $2,100 price stated) in both suburbs, and its TV commercial has already been produced. GGC’s cost structure has been estimated as TVC = 750Q + 0.005Q2, where Q represents single lawn watering systems.

Show all of your calculations and processes. Describe your answer for each item below in complete sentences, whenever it is necessary.

  1. Derive the demand curves for GGC’s product in each market.
  2. Derive GGC’s marginal revenue (MR) and marginal cost (MC) curves in each market. Show graphically GGC’s demand, MR, and MC curves for each market.
  3. Derive algebraically the quantities that should be produced and sold, and the prices that should be charged, in each market.
  4. Calculate the price elasticities of demand in each market and discuss these in relation to the prices to be charged in each market.
  5. Add a short note to GGC management outlining any reservations and qualifications you may have concerning your price recommendations.
