While on routine patrol for the Any Town Police Department you notice a group of what appears be three underage male teenage kids and one female teen standing alongside the outside wall of a local convenience store in a poorly lit area. Since it is 1 AM in the morning on a Thursday night, which is in violation of your city ordinance regarding curfew, you decide to investigate. When you turn into the driveway of the convenience store your patrol car headlights illuminate the group of three teens and you notice a cigarette in the hand of the lone female of the group and it appears to you that two of the males are holding beer cans. After asking for identification, you began your investigation and realize that several decisions will have to be made regarding the underage youth:

• In a list you make in your report specifically identify the status offense laws that are being violated by each of the underage teenage violators.
• Identify how you are going to process at the scene each of the underage teenage kid violators, then explain in detail why you made your decision to handle the status offense in that specific manner.
• Describe how you would handle any of the teenage status offense violators who is being uncooperative at the scene. How would this affect your decision on how to handle this status offense case?
• If you have one or more uncooperative parent who refuses to come to the scene and pick up their child would this affect your decision on how you handle the case, and if so what would you then do with the child?

Title: Ergogenic Aid week 5

Go to the following website: http://www.aafp.org/afp/20010301/913.html. Read the article. If you have trouble access this website, the article is available under the Resources tab. If you cannot access this from the web, a PDF version is available under “Resources, Week 5”. It is titled, “Ergogenic Aid – Counseling the Athlete”.

From the list below, select one ergogenic aid. The list below was developed from Table 3 in the article above. Not every ergogenic aid in Table 3 is listed below. You must pick one of the ergogenic aids list below. Do not pick an ergogenic aid that another student has selected and posted.

Now go to the APUS online library and find one published research article in a journal on that particular ergogenic aid. Do not use Muscle Magazine or a similar magazine. These are for the lay public and are not peer-reviewed. The journal article you select should be a research study that shows how your selected ergogenic aid affects athletic performance, positively or negatively. A research article is not a review article. A research article reports the results from a research study. You can tell the difference between a research article and a review article, because a review article summarizes several research studies.

If you cannot find a research article in the APUS online library, go to the following website: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez. In the search bar at the top, enter the ergogenic aid you selected.

Your Forum post must be more than 500 words long. In your Forum post:

1) list your selected cryogenic aid,

2) provide the reference for your selected article using the format shown below,

3) describe how your particular cryogenic aid enhances performance,

4) describe the study and the results, and

5) evaluate the article. For example, does the study make appropriate conclusions from its data? Was the study designed correctly to address the hypothesis?

Assignment 1: Scenario Analysis and Discussion

Read the case scenario below. Based on the information provided in the case, the textbook, and your own research, prepare answers to the questions found after the case. Interview individuals in your company’s human resource department. You may find that they are good sources of information.

Case Scenario

Big Aircraft Company (BAC) is a publicly traded U.S. corporation with more than 500 overseas production facilities. Jeff Bland, an audit manager with BAC, was offered a two-year assignment in one of the factories in the Islamic country of Idzatu. Francine Boyd, a senior audit manager, bid for the position but was denied the job. Initially, BAC explained that cultural issues were involved in the denial. After additional meetings, BAC stated that she was not eligible based on her age, religion, and sex. The country of Idzatu permits discrimination based on age, religion, and sex and practices intentional discrimination based on religion. In Idzatu, women are assigned to low-level jobs and are not permitted to occupy management level positions. In addition, Idzatu laws prohibit women over the age of 45 from working.

After several months in Idzatu, Jeff initiates the annual audit required by the corporate internal audit procedures. During the course of the audit, Jeff discovers a variety of inconsistencies and questionable business practices. His report indicates the following issues.

1. The BAC Idzatu facility only employs men in management and supervisory positions. Very few women work in the plant and those that do occupy lower level positions.
2. An inspection of a BAC subcontractor’s facility in Idzatu revealed children ages 8–12 working over 60 hours a week in violation of Idzatu labor laws.
3. Employees in the subcontractor’s facility were exposed to toxic chemicals and loud noises without protective clothing and headgear.

Jeff files this report with his boss in the U.S. and is warned by his boss to keep his mouth shut. Jeff has two children under the age of 10, and he is appalled by the working conditions and the lack of action by BAC. Six months pass, and no changes have been implemented in either facility. Jeff is told to mind his own business because different countries have different laws and the ability to manufacture aircraft parts at a lower cost is why BAC maintains a facility in Idzatu. Jeff is outraged and reports these conditions to the U.S. Department of Labor and the ILO. Two months after filing these reports, Jeff is fired.

Based on the information provided in the case scenario, answer the following questions:

• Evaluate the legal issues that Francine Boyd may bring against BAC and any arguments that BAC may use to refute Boyd’s claims.
• In your view, is Jeff protected by any of the whistleblower statutes? Provide legal arguments that support your position.
• In your opinion, what are the legal, ethical, and cultural issues of Jeff’s findings?

Write the answers in a 2– pages Microsoft Word and Submit the document to the Discussion Area by Friday, February 12, 2016.

By Monday, February 15, 2016, review the submissions of at least two of your classmates. Provide a balanced feedback, evaluating the business and legal implications of the responses to each question.

All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.

Assignment 2: Course Project Task VI

International Labor and Employment Issues

Managing employee relations can often prove difficult on U.S. soil. The addition of the different laws, ethics, and culture can make management of international employment issues extremely complicated. Using the research from the discussion, interviews with your company’s human resources department, and other related research, prepare a paper outlining the employment laws, regulations, and practices related to your selected country in Module 1.

Consider how practices such as hiring, firing, benefits, labor standards, and various employment arrangements are regulated in each country. Compare the laws and practices of your selected country with what exists with your company. Which law applies? Analyze the extraterritorial impact of U.S. employment law.

Compare the benefits and disadvantages of using employees, independent contractors, foreign sales representatives, and distributors based on your company’s products/services and the foreign locations in which your company operates. Don’t forget to consider how employment issues are affected by culture, ethics, and

e-commerce. Make note of any pending regulations or laws that could affect your company in the future.

Write a 2- pages paper showing your research on international labor and employment issues. Include links, references, and sources you have used and follow the proper guidelines for citing legal texts. Also provide a statement regarding which specific topics related to your research would be appropriate for inclusion in the International Business Law and Practices Guidelines document you are developing. Provide a rationale for your decisions.

Present your work in Microsoft Word document format to the Discussion Area by Monday, February 15, 2016.

All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.

Manufacturing Budget Analysis

Tom Emory and Jim Morris strolled back to their plant from the administrative offices of Ferguson & Son Manufacturing Company. Tom is manager of the machine shop in the company’s factory; Jim is manager of the equipment maintenance department. The men had just attended the monthly performance evaluation meeting for plant department heads. These meetings had been held on the third Tuesday of each month since Robert Ferguson, Jr., the president’s son, had become plant manager a year earlier. As they were walking, Tom Emory spoke: “Boy, I hate those meetings! I never know whether my department’s accounting reports will show good or bad performance. I’m beginning to expect the worst. If the accountants say I saved the company a dollar, I’m called ‘Sir,’ but if I spend even a little too much—boy, do I get in trouble. I don’t know if I can hold on until I retire.” Tom had just been given the worst evaluation he had ever received in his long career with Ferguson & Son. He was the most respected of the experienced machinists in the company. He had been with the company for many years and was promoted to supervisor of the machine shop when the company expanded and moved to its present location. The president (Robert Ferguson, Sr.) had often stated that the company’s success was due to the high-quality work of machinists like Tom. As supervisor, Tom stressed the importance of craftsmanship and told his workers that he wanted no sloppy work coming from his department. When Robert Ferguson, Jr., became the plant manager, he directed that monthly performance comparisons be made between actual and budgeted costs for each department. The departmental budgets were intended to encourage the supervisors to reduce inefficiencies and to seek cost reduction opportunities. The company controller was instructed to have his staff “tighten” the budget slightly whenever a department attained its budget in a given month; this was done to reinforce the plant manager’s desire to reduce costs. The young plant manager often stressed the importance of continued progress toward attaining the budget; he also made it known that he kept a file of these performance reports for future reference when he succeeded his father. Tom Emory’s conversation with Jim Morris continued as follows: Emory: I really don’t understand. We’ve worked so hard to meet the budget, and the minute we do so they tighten it on us. We can’t work any faster and still maintain quality. I think my men are ready to quit trying. Besides, those reports don’t tell the whole story. We always seem to be interrupting the big jobs for all those small rush orders. All that setup and machine adjustment time is killing us. And quite frankly, Jim, you were no help. When our hydraulic press broke down last month, your people were nowhere to be found. We had to take it apart ourselves and got stuck with all that idle time. Morris: I’m sorry about that, Tom, but you know my department has had trouble making budget, too. We were running well behind at the time of that problem, and if we had spent a day on that old machine, we would never have made it up. Instead, we made the scheduled inspections of the forklift trucks because we knew we could do those in less than the budgeted time. Emory: Well, Jim, at least you have some options. I’m locked into what the scheduling department assigns to me and you know they’re being harassed by sales for those special orders. Incidentally, why didn’t your report show all the supplies you guys wasted last month when you were working in Bill’s department? Morris: We’re not out of the woods on that deal yet. We charged the maximum we could to other work and haven’t even reported some of it yet. Emory: Well, I’m glad you have a way of getting out of the pressure. The accountants seem to know everything that’s happening in my department, sometimes even before I do. I thought all that budget and accounting stuff was supposed to help, but it just gets me into trouble. It’s all a big pain. I’m trying to put out quality work; they’re trying to save pennies.

Review the case. Respond to the following:

• Identify the problems that appear to exist in Ferguson & Son Manufacturing Company’s budgetary control system and explain how the problems are likely to reduce the effectiveness of the system. (approximately 1 page)
• Explain how Ferguson & Son Manufacturing Company’s budgetary control system could be revised to improve its effectiveness. (approximately 1–2 pages)
• Explain how the use of an activity-based costing system could change the results of the budget, if utilized. (approximately 1 page)
• As stated in the case, many employees have “quit trying” and have altered behavior on the job. Provide specific ways for how you would use a budget to change employee behavior and align goals in the organization. Explain how goal alignment can improve profitability and overall return to the shareholders of the company. (approximately 1 page)
• Synthesize data to explain the concept of ROI and describe how the use of an activity-based costing system can improve the company’s ROI and the potential impact on free cash flow. (approximately 1 page)
