This is the sixth assignment forum related to your course project. Your unit 6 assignment forum is based on the R. Williams Construction Co. v. OSHRC case study found in Chapter 14 of your textbook. The case involved the violations of OSHA standards that ultimately led to the death of an employee. At issue was the review of violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”) in the wake of a trench collapse and the death of an employee at a construction site in Santa Ynez, California.
The court denied the review and upheld citations for violations of specific OSHA standards by the construction contractor. You will explore the facts leading up to a decision in this case and evaluate the importance of this ruling to human resources practice of and your role as a human resources practitioner. Instructions: As the Human Resource Manager at GreenTech Ltd., you are ready to prepare your next report. You will review, assess, and analyze a topic, event, or case, and based on your findings, you will share a written report with your supervisor, the Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO). Your report will summarize the topic, event, or case and will include a recommendation for improving HR practice at your company. Unit 6 Topic: Read the R. Williams Construction Co. v. OSHRC case study found in Chapter 14 of your textbook readings this week. Based on your review of the case study, consider the following: The court ultimately found that the Williams Construction Co. failed to instruct its employees in proper safety measures and made no effort to ensure that employees did not enter the trench on the day of the collapse. Consider the determining factors that led to this conclusion. Consider any specific OSHA violations that were referenced in their ruling. The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) impacts a variety of businesses and industries. Evaluate how OSHA regulations impact your practice as a Human Resources Manager. Based on your review of the case study, address the role of safety requirements in the workplace and the employer’s responsibility to ensure a safe work environment for employees. Part 1 • Summarize the law or legal principle involved. (This can generally be done in one paragraph.) • Summarize the case or event. Share the important facts and highlights that are important from a Human Resources practice perspective. (This can generally be done with one or two short paragraphs.) • Explain why the facts and highlights you chose were important for the practice of HR. Part 2 • List at least five ways this case or event might impact the practice of HR. (This is a brainstorming activity. A bulleted list is fine for this.) • Identify which of the five items is most important to HR. Provide an assessment and analysis of that item, along with one directly related specific recommendation for the HR team. The recommendation must be actionable, must be explained, and must be supported with evidence from your readings and research. (Keep in mind generic statements, broad ideas, unsupported personal opinions, and merely repeating what is in this assignment descriiption do not satisfy the assignment requirements.) This assignment is your opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the law or legal principles based on the case or event reviewed as it relates to the practice of HR. This assignment is also your opportunity to demonstrate your critical thinking and analytical skills by using the case or event as a catalyst to explore how HR practices can be improved. The goal of this assignment is not to do as much writing as possible but to do as much focused and thoughtful idea-sharing as possible. Make sure you use evidence and support for each section of your response. The ideal assignment will include the following: • Introduction • Response to Part 1 (with citations linked to a reference) • Response to Part 2 (with citations linked to a reference) • Conclusion (with citations linked to a reference) • References (with a minimum of three references) Requirements: • Submit your assignment in the text box of the designated Unit Assignment Forum. APA format is not required for any assignment forum submission. However, all assignments should be well-organized and include an introduction and conclusion. • Support your answers with evidence from at least three resources (text, readings, research, etc.) using citations and references. • The required length of your entire response is approximately four to five paragraphs (summary, evaluation, comparison, opinion).
Founder’s Intent for the Protection of Religion and Morality You will post an initial thread of approximately 700-800 words responding to the provided prompt. Then, you will reply to two of your peers with posts 200-250 words in length. Please Note: Salutations, valedictions, citations, and footnotes do not count toward your word count requirements. All threads must demonstrate comprehension of the course material and refer specifically—through paraphrase, summary, or quotation—to content from the readings and presentations. Your use of the course material must not be mechanical. Rather, you must use them strategically, and you must comment on the material that you have cited. In your initial post, you must cite the number and type of sources indicated in the discussion prompt (at a minimum) and make sure that your footnote citations and bibliographic information are accurate and complete in accordance with the Turabian style. Citations in replies are encouraged but not required. For the Discussion Thread: Faith of our Founders specifically, you are expected to use at least three scholarly sources (1 primary source and 2 secondary sources).
Assignment Question
Write a research paper, using FIVE consumer behavior topics from the course, on the following topic: “Differences in Consumer Thoughts and Behavior Between Consumers in the U.S. and ______ (fill in your ONE country).” Use any reference style (APA, MLA, ETC.) that you are familiar with. A reference list is needed at the end of your paper. No footnotes, endnotes of any kind are needed – only a reference list at the end, using the same reference style as you use in citing your references in the text of your paper. For examples, see the paper ON ANOTHER TOPIC (OBVIOUSLY NOT FOR USE IN YOUR PAPER DIRECTLY!) included at the end of this project description.
This is a research paper to be based on secondary research ONLY (research that has already been done and is available for your use, provided you acknowledge the source with proper citations). Do NOT do primary research (research that is freshly collected like surveys, focus groups, interviews, etc.). You may cite survey results from secondary sources but you may not yourself conduct surveys, etc.. Hence, your paper needs at least TWO SCHOLARLY REFERENCES in EACH OF THE FIVE TOPICS. So, altogether you will need a minimum of TEN DIFFERENT scholarly sources to be cited in both the body of your paper and in the reference list at the end of your paper. A scholarly reference is an article in an ACADEMIC JOURNAL (Journal of Marketing, Journal of Consumer Behavior, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Psychological Review, etc.), and NOT releases in the POPULAR PRESS/WEBSITES). These articles are known as “peer-reviewed refereed journal articles” since reviewers have seen and approved of these articles. A referred journal is a journal with an editor, an editorial board and reviewers. Once again, if you use someone else’s words (avoid direct quotes if you can and see later for how to use direct quotes, if you must) and ideas, you MUST provide a reference. Otherwise, it is plagiarism and you will fail the project and, possibly, the course. I have ways of knowing! Do not do it. AGAIN, TWO RULES for which Penalties with accrue at the rate of one point for each violation. (A) No sentence more than two lines. Note that you can have as many sentences within a paragraph as you like. So, you could have, for example, six sentences of one line each. (B) No paragraph more than six lines. Note that you can have as many paragraphs in an answer as you like. The format of your paper should be as below. TITLE PAGE WITH THE NAME OF YOUR PAPER (“Differences in Consumer Thoughts and Behavior Between Consumers in the U.S. and ______ (fill in your ONE country).” ), YOUR NAME AND THE CLASS (MKTG2212 FALL 2023). (A) INTRODUCTION, on the next and second page, in which you describe your goals in this project and your methodology (How you went about collecting information for your paper) No findings here until the next section. (2 POINTS) Once again, this page should have a heading titled INTRODUCTION and two sub-headings as follows. On this page, using the two subheadings of (a) Goals and (b) Methodology, you should lay out your goals (what did you want to achieve in this paper? Why are cultural differences in consumer behavior important for marketing purposes?) in this paper and the methodology you used to obtain the secondary data used in your paper. Under methodology, you should discuss what and how many sources you used; where and how you found your sources; how you chose your sources and eliminated other sources, etc. (B), (C), (D), (E), (F) FIVE HEADINGS ON FIVE CONSUMER BEHAVIOR TOPICS WE HAVE STUDIED. SEE EXAMPLES ABOVE. (5 X 8 = 40 POINTS) (G) SUMMARY OF MAIN FINDINGS and SUMMARY OF MARKETING IMPLICATIONS. INTEGRATE YOUR FIVE TOPICS. BRING ALL THE INDIVIDUAL PARTS TOGETHER INTO A “WHOLE”. WHAT IS THE MEANING TO BE DRAWN FROM THE FINDINGS ON EACH OF YOUR TOPICS? DO THE SAME FOR THE MARKETING IMPLICATIONS YOU HAVE ALSO PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED. (FIVE POINTS) (H) REFERENCES. (3 POINTS) As stated above, after the INTRODUCTION, you should have FIVE HEADINGS on FIVE separate single spaced pages, covering FIVE different topics from this class. No credit for topics not covered in the text. Some suggested topics are (choose only FIVE!): Differences in Consumers’ Emotional Responses (for this topic, I suggest the use of a single emotion like “loneliness”. See ch.1 and the instructions in ASSIGNMENT 2. However, more than one emotion is acceptable as well). Differences in Consumer Values (Freedom, etc. See ch. 4) (use more than one terminal consumer value here USING SEPARATE SHORT PARAGRAPHS FOR EACH. See ch.4). Note that “Consumer Values” like freedom etc. are very different from the notion of “Perceived Value” which is a consumer perception based on some combination of quality and price (from ch.11). Use Consumer Values from ch.4 and NOT the notion of Perceived Value. (A SINGLE VALUE is acceptable as well, just as you have done in assgn.2 for a single emotion).
Differences in Consumers’ Needs (use Maslow’s hierarchy here, from ch.8) (use more than one need here USING SEPARATE SHORT PARAGRAPHS FOR EACH)) (A SINGLE NEED is acceptable as well, just as you have done in assgn.2 for a single emotion). Differences in Attitudes (ch.8) (use more than one attitude here USING SEPARATE SHORT PARAGRAPHS FOR EACH). (A SINGLE ATTITUDE is acceptable as well, just as you have done in assgn.2 for a single emotion). Differences in Information Search (see ch. 8 for various aspects of Information search USING SEPARATE SHORT PARAGRAPHS FOR EACH. (A SINGLE ASPECT OF INFO. SEARCH is acceptable as well, just as you have done in assgn.2 for a single emotion).) Differences in Brand Criteria in Brand Evaluation (see ch.8) (USING SEPARATE SHORT PARAGRAPHS FOR EACH, use more than one brand criteria but for any one product category here (say, cars). What the differences in the two cultures in brand criteria for automobiles?). Do consumers in the two cultures look for different criteria when buying a car? What? Why? So what for a marketing manager? Remember that brand criteria can be viewed as particular needs in a certain product category, like autos. etc. So, if you are doing needs as well, make sure these two aspects are related to each other. Other topics (however once again, only five topics on five separate pages will be graded!) are Differences in Brand Trust (ch.10), etc. and so on as in the chapters we cover. (Chs 1-6, 8, 10-11). Make sure you use the knowledge you have gained on these topics and that this is apparent from my reading of your discussion. I recommend using five from the seven topics I have suggested above. ALWAYS USE SHORT PARAGRAPHS IN EVERY PAGE) DO NOT USE TOPICS FROM CH. 2 You must provide at least one marketing implication in the last paragraph of each of the five sections in your paper. What can a marketing manager (working in both the U.S. and your Culture) DO with the information you have provided on the topic on the current topic you are discussing, say consumer needs, etc.? The last page (or two if needed) of your paper (before your reference list) should be titled SUMMARY. Here you should discuss and integrate the main findings from each of your topic headings and also integrate the marketing implications you have already discussed for each topic.
