1. Research Question: “Multilevel marketing: A legitimate business or just one of those pyramid scheme”

Statement of Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the unethical practices involved in the multi-level marketing business and provide a clear understanding on how to choose the right company when opting for a career in this field.

Logic:Many educators simply want students to avoid the multi-level marketing because there have been a lot of unethical problems in this industry. Even if a multilevel marketing company is fulfilling its legal obligations, that does not mean all its practices are ethically correct even if company seems to be legalon the surface (Muncy, 2004).

Question under Investigation:Are multilevel marketing: A legitimate business or just one of those pyramid scheme?

Significant of the study: When job seeks inquire about multi-level marketing opportunities, they should be given the right advice as to how this industry operates and factors that legitimize companies in this industry. Common questions that should be asked or thought about are; how does the company generate revenue? Does the company provide clients or is it the duty of the employees to solicit clients? Potential candidates should ask how their position in the company contributes to the overall goal of the company. How much work needs to be done in their position to generate income? How much will the cost be to get involved with the company? Etc.

2. Research Question: “Effects of Failure on Subsequent Performance in Multi-level Marketing”

Statement of Purpose: The purpose of this study is to observe the positive and negative effects of employees’ performance within a multi-level marketing organization.

Logic:There may be a variety of reasons for failure such as unethical practices indoctrinate in multilevel marketingoperational structure; or conflict streaming from a combination of interpersonal relationships like mixing friendship with business. It is very important to recognize the causes of failure and adopt self-defining goals.

 Significant of the study: Education and guidance in multi-level marketing need to be provided to students seeking a career in this field. Students need to be aware of the unethical and illegal practices that exist in this industry and the differences between legitimate marketing opportunities and those that are illegitimate. Multilevel marketing is a huge, global industry. Estimates of worldwide sales are as high as ninety billion dollars annually (Dyer 2001). Failures mostly lead to underperformance, mitigating reasons of failure stems from many different sources within multi marketing ind

Employers of both accounting and IS personnel often rank “analytical reasoning” and “writing” skills on the same priority as technical skills, and some rank them even higher. Said one recruiter at the school of one author: “I can train new employees to use our computer systems and perform the majority of the technical tasks we will require of them. What I cannot train them to do is to think analytically or logically. And what I refuse to do is to teach them to speak and write clearly and effectively—skills they should have learned in high school.” Another recruiter said it slightly differently: “Give me a technically-competent accounting or IS student who can perform AIS tasks well, and I will pay them X dollars. Give me a student who can explain to my clients how our services can solve their business problems and I will pay them 2X dollars.”

Conduct a preliminary search and:

• Discuss some of the other attributes beyond analytical thinking and writing skills that many employers value.
• Why must we have knowledge of computerized or traditional system’s objectives to study that system?
• Do roles that accountants play differ in traditional systems from their roles in computerized systems? Please discuss.

In your own words, post a substantive response to the Discussion Board question(s) and comment on other postings. Your response should address the DB question(s) and move the conversation forward. You will be graded on the quality of your postings, including mastery of the concept as well as critical thinking. If asked for your opinion, do not simply state that it is a good or bad idea; elaborate on your reasons and argument. Include enough detail to substantiate your thinking as well as your position on the questions or comments.

Each discussion answer must be a minimum of 400 words.

Will be checked using turnitin for plagiarism.

Background info: Throughout the years, scientists have engaged in an array of ethically questionable research endeavors possessing dubious scientific value or validity. From the Nazi experimental trials to Stanley Milgram to the Tuskegee experiments, scientists have engaged in ethically unsound research in the name of progress or curiosity. The intelligentsia knew they could but failed to ask whether they should.

#1

Identify the key tenets of ethical research used when evaluating criminal justice data and interpreting published research findings. Examine the principles that define ethical research in the field of criminal justice.

Background info: Research serves as a guide by which to study, describe, and quantify an array of social and physical phenomenon. Theory, which is best described as a set of propositions or hypotheses that specify the relationship among a subset of variables, serves as a way of offering an intellectualized general commentary on that which is observed.

#2

How does theory inform a research study? How can a generalized theory remain timely enough to be applicable to new or innovative studies?

Successful Implementation of Electronic Health Information Technology

Since the inception of the HITECH Act, health organizations have faced increased pressure to update their health information technology (HIT) resources. As discussed last week, many believe that the increased use of electronic health records and the quick and efficient communication afforded by HIT can lead to improved quality of patient care. Yet there are significant costs associated with implementing such systems. What can organizations do to ensure that the correct system is selected and that the system will be appropriate for those required to use it? Who should be involved in those decisions?

This week introduces the systems development life cycle and discusses how it can guide an organization through the complexities of adopting a new HIT system. In this Discussion, you are asked to consider the role of nurses in the SDLC process.

To prepare:

• Review the steps of the systems development life cycle.
• Think about your own organization, or one with which you are familiar, and the steps the organization goes through when purchasing and implementing a new HIT system.
• Consider what a nurse could contribute to decisions made at each stage when planning for new health information technology. What might be the consequences of not involving nurses?
• Reflect on your own experiences with your organization selecting and implementing new technology. As an end user, do you feel you had any input in the selection or and planning of the new HIT system?

Post on or before Day 3 an analysis of the ramifications of an organization not involving nurses in each stage of the systems development life cycle when purchasing and implementing a new HIT system. Give specific examples of potential issues at each stage and how the inclusion of nurses could help avoid such issues.

Need help with developing a thesis for an anthropology milestone  project this will be the first of two milestones  here is the first question. 2-5 pages

You will select a film you think represents an anthropological situation.

This is purposefully very broad so it can include almost any film. For example, the film’s protagonists might be fighting for a cause they believe will improve their community, but encounter philosophical or structural problems along the way, or maybe you choose a film where the protagonist loses his/her faith and finds it through a clichéd series of events.Post your choice in the Module Three discussion.

Make sure to briefly introduce your selection, explain what anthropological situation you will be analyzing, and state why you chose this particular film. If you have any questions regarding this milestone or would like help choosing a

movie. I have te assignmet in full will send when handshake is made.
