Policies are constantly being reviewed and considered to help improve the federal, state, or local health care systems. Each one has the potential to affect each of us on a daily basis, so careful consideration must be given when policies are proposed. It is important to understand the process of how a topic eventually becomes a policy.

 

Choose a health care topic for which a policy might be formed.

 

*Note: be sure to look ahead and choose a policy topic that will be suitable for the second part of this assignment as well, due in Week Four.

 

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper on the complete process of how your chosen topic becomes a policy. In your paper, include the following information:

• State the objective of the policy.
• Define Formulation stage (explain the process to formulate your policy, including the involvement of stakeholders and the role of special interest groups in this stage)
• Define Legislative stage (include an explanation of how the legislative body debates policies and approves policies; the role of committees, the role of the executive branch as relevant to your policy’s legislative process, and the way that stakeholder voices are heard in this stage)
• Define Implementation stage (identify the accountable parties–agencies, state or federal departments, etc.– and their roles in the various implementation of your policy)

Cite a minimum of five references.

 

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Assignment 3: Ethics and Corporate Responsibility in the Workplace and the World

PharmaCARE (We CARE about YOUR health®) is one of the world’s most successful pharmaceutical companies, enjoying a reputation as a caring, ethical and well-run company that produces high-quality products that save millions of lives and enhance the quality of life for millions of others (Note: PharmaCARE is a hypothetical company that you will to compare to a real company as noted in the assignment criteria below). The company offers free and discounted drugs to low-income consumers, has a foundation that sponsors healthcare educational programs and scholarships, and its CEO serves on the PhRMA board. PharmaCARE recently launched a new initiative, We CARE about YOUR world®, pledging its commitment to the environment through recycling, packaging changes and other green initiatives, despite the fact that the company’s lobbying efforts and PAC have successfully defeated environmental laws and regulations, including extension of the Superfund tax, which was created by Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).
Based in New Jersey, PharmaCARE maintains a large manufacturing facility in the African nation of Colberia, where the company has found several “healers” eager to freely share information about indigenous cures and an abundance of Colberians willing to work for $1.00 a day, harvesting plants by walking five (5) miles into and out of the jungle carrying baskets that, when full, weigh up to fifty (50) pounds. Due to the low standard of living in Colberia, much of the population lives in primitive huts with no electricity or running water. PharmaCARE’s executives, however, live in a luxury compound, complete with a swimming pool, tennis courts, and a golf course. PharmaCARE’s extensive activities in Colberia have destroyed habitat and endangered native species.
In preparation for this assignment, use the Internet or Strayer Library to research companies that have recently experienced negative consequences as a result of the company’s corporate activities. Compare the facts and consequences surrounding the companies you have researched to PharmaCare to support your response(s) to the criteria below.
Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:
Describe the key characteristics of a stakeholder and determine all the stakeholders within the PharmaCARE scenario.
Analyze the human rights issues presented by PharmaCARE’s treatment of the Colberia’s indigenous population versus that of its executives. Recommend at least three (3) changes PharmaCARE can make to be more ethical going forward.
Assess PharmaCARE’s environmental initiative against the backdrop of its anti-environmental lobbying efforts and Colberian activities. Support the position.
Decide whether or not PharmaCARE’s actions with respect to the indigenous people of Colberia would be ethical in accordance with each of the following ethical theories:
Utilitarianism
Deontology
Virtue ethics
Ethics of care
Your own moral / ethical compass
Compare PharmaCARE’s actions with those of at least one (1) real-world company, whose corporate activities led to ethical, environmental, or workplace safety issues and financial loss. Analyze the similarities and differences between PharmaCARE and the company that you chose.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia is not an acceptable reference and proprietary Websites do not qualify as academic resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

CASE STUDY
BMGT 317 Final Project:  McConnell’s Spice
Charles Jackson is chief information officer (CIO) at McConnell Spice, a Maryland spice company. Within the industry, McConnell Spice has a large national market presence yet is global in its need for raw materials. McConnell Spice is always looking for ways to increase productivity and efficiency while staying connected to its worldwide sources.  Two years into the job, Jackson suggested to company president, Ann McConnell, that McConnell Spice implement a new global knowledge-sharing application that promises to cut development time and costs in half.  Jackson has done thorough research on knowledge-sharing systems, and has talked extensively with his counterpart and friend, Jack Thyme at the food ingredient global powerhouse, ADM. Thyme agree with Jackson’s assessment of the need for IT sharing systems as he believes they play an important role in a company’s competitiveness in the new global market.
On Jackson’s recommendation Ann McConnell presented the idea to the board of directors, and everyone agreed to pursue the project. McConnell has asked Jackson to investigate firms that could assist the company’s IT department in developing and implementing a global knowledge-sharing application. The system must be compatible with McConnell’s existing systems. McConnell explained that she wants the final project contenders narrowed down to four with the IT’s department recommendation presented by Jackson to the board of directors for the final decision next month.
Jackson took the instructions back to his desk and began to debate how best to go about researching the decision and possible recommendation. Jackson has 11 people in his department, three women and eight men. The three women have more global sourcing experience than the males, so ultimately the new software applications will fall into the overview of the female male members of his staff.  Yet, the more experienced IT people are among the men. One of his female workers, Rosemary, has recently come from ADM and has used the new knowledge sharing application there.  John, also known as Ginger because of his red hair, came from ADM as well and participated in the selection of the firm who ultimately got the contract.  The other workers have a cursory knowledge of the system but would need training. Jackson decided that he would put together a team to research and determine the best suppliers for the job. Their research is summarized below.  Word had gotten out about the new purchase and staff members were discussing among themselves possible candidates. A little in-fighting had developed and there was concern that Jackson would favor ADM people’s choice, Johnson and Company. Those who currently like the reps at TECH4U think they can do the application best because they know the current system at McConnell. They may even be able to cut a deal if they had the whole account.  Johnson and Company supporters; however, worry that Jackson will go with Tech4U because it would be cheaper. Johnson’s people know that the bigger Tech4U doesn’t specialize in this particular application of knowledge-management and may not be able to give the quality that they know is in the Johnson product.  One lone IT staffer has been silent throughout this discussion and wonders why Jackson should favor these two companies. He knows of yet another, Information Systems Inc. which should be included. He’s hoping that if Jackson chooses to pick a team to make a decision he can get on the team.  Jackson however, is confident that he wants a group decision making process but cannot decide what type will work best.  Jackson is not sure whether it should be an individual decision made by him with staff input or whether the entire group should have the decision making authority.  One thing is for sure, he and the group only have four weeks to make a multi-million dollar decision.
Almost two weeks into the decision process Ann Mc Connell called Jackson into her office to see how the project was coming along. Jackson informed her that they had identified five major candidates and were currently in the process of evaluating these alternatives. McConnell looked over the summary of the findings to date and balked. “You don’t have Standard IT Systems on this list,” she exclaimed. Surprised, Jackson said, “but they do accounting software only. Admittedly, they do it well which is why we use their software in the Finance Department but for the global sourcing application I can’t see them as a contender.”  McConnell looked at him and said, “You are right! They do a good job and I think they can expand into this area easily. They know our systems and we may even be able to get a better deal because this is a new area for them. Be sure to put them on the list.”
Jackson was surprised—Standard IT Systems was known primarily for helping small companies computerize their accounting systems.  He was uncertain about them and decided to do as the boss said and put them on the list.  He soon found out that they had never done any work related to knowledge-sharing applications, particularly on a global basis. Upon further investigation into the company, he learned that Standard was owned by McConnell’s new son-in-law.  Fortunately, he also learned that the firm did have some limited experience in more complex applications. Regardless he thought, I have to tell the team of the new addition.
During the next two weeks, the decision making process continued and it became apparent that Standard IT Systems was not a good alternative for the job.
McConnell happened to meet Jackson in the hall one day and informed him that the Board would meet in next week and he was to present his findings and decision to the Board for approval. With a nod and a wink McConnell said “I know you are for Standard like I am but we have to make the pretense of looking at other options.”  Jackson stood with his mouth open staring at her back as she walked away. As the shock wore off Jackson turned toward his office, his mind racing, do I present the team’s recommendation or Standard IT Systems?
Research Results from Jackson’s Team
Tech4U Inc.: A globally known firm based in California with over 35 years of IT experience. This corporation currently provides innovative applications for over 1,000 businesses in 23 countries and is currently the top provider of knowledge sharing applications worldwide with an A+ rating. This company provides 24/7 telephonic customer support and on-site technical support upon request. They give only one week training on the system and for two people only. They also developed the current IT systems for McConnell. They are willing to package the service component of the deal to save money but still come in as the most expensive. Tech says it will take 3-5 months to get the system up and running.
Information Systems, Inc.: Based in Dallas, TX, Information systems, Inc. is a rising global competitor next to Tech4U. They specialize in various complex applications and have over 25 years’ experience. They are second in market share and also have an A+ rating. Most known for patenting the K-M sharing system that is currently used in every large US Spice company, Info is experienced in spice companies knowledge needs. They have not worked with McConnell’s existing system but feel confident that the information will be easy to adapt as they have done so with other spice companies. This company also provides 24/7 tech support. They give training for 4 weeks and will make sure that all people who will use the system are included. It is the least expensive of the group. However, they will need 9-11 months for installation.
Johnson and Company: A boutique IT knowledge-management firm Johnson has 10 locations in the continental United States and 4 worldwide. In business since 1997, Johnson and Company has extensive knowledge in complex IT applications with excellent customer service and on-call tech support. They of course train anyone who is named by the company. The clients of the company include some of the major food ingredient companies (including ADM) but no spice firms. This company only provides sharing applications hence their boutique moniker. It is also the most expensive bid. While Johnson is familiar with knowledge management sharing it has not had experience with the current McConnell IT systems. Some learning curve time has been put into the time it would take to get the systems up and running. They suggest 6-9 months.
Standard Company: A local firm that specializes in providing accounting applications for small businesses in the area. This company provides excellent customer service but has limited experience with complex applications and large firms. It has no experience with the type of application needed but for this reason is willing to take the project for less money. They can provide 24/7 tech support with limited training to staff. They will however need more time to develop and implement the application.

Prepare a 3 – 4 page double-spaced paper that describes your product or service, your target market, the need(s) this product or service meets, and how it is different from the competition. Support your analysis with three (3) academic sources, which may include your textbook, and/or credible business journals such as Barrons, The Wall Street Journal and/or Business Week. Your analysis should include: • Briefly describe your previously approved product or service for which you will develop a North American marketing strategy during MKTU 301, discussing how you will differentiate your product or service from current or anticipated competitors • Identify and discuss your target market supporting your analysis with data from one or more credible published sources. Be specific in defining the target market. • Describe what consumer or business (B2B) need(s) your product or service meets supporting your analysis with data from one or more credible published sources. • Assess where your product or service fits in the Product Life Cycle supporting your analysis with data from one or more credible published sources.

 

The product that I will develop for North America and the rest of the world is called Snapbac. This company develops and manufactures compression garments, which comes in shirts, shorts, elbow and knee garments. Snapbac is not only a compassion garment but it also inquires heat and cold pods that can be inserted into the garment to increase circulation and fasten the healing process by two times the time of the regular compression garment. Hot and cold temperatures do different things to your body, and should be used at different times. Cold therapy reduces swelling by slowing blood flow and circulation, and is generally best within 24-48 hours of an injury. If you leave the cold compress in place for more than 20 minutes, you could actually irritate your injury, so make sure to take 10-minute breaks in between sessions. In contrast, heat therapy increases blood flow and oxygenation, and relaxes muscles and tendons, thereby improving flexibility

The foreign exchange market has two tiers: the interbank market and the client market. Explain how each market functions, how they differ, and the interrelationship of the two markets. Present one practical example for each case. Select any country and explain how the interbank market or the client market functions in that country.

Answer these questions in a short essay, 3–4 paragraphs in length,

 

Create the Value: Market Segmentation Analysis and a Value Proposition

 

Your company, a major retailer, has decided to explore the possibility of developing a new retail brand aimed at a specific target market.  Prepare a report that would form the basis of a planning discussion with your major retailer’s senior marketing team of managers.

 

The term retail brand refers to a retail store concept, as opposed to a manufacturer’s product or service brand.  The retail company is the brand – like Target, GAP, PetSmart,     or Victoria’s Secret.

 

As an example, what if Target created an off-shoot company that specialized in pet services for dogs (veterinary care, pet foods, pet training) and called it Pooches!

 

In this example, Pooches would fall under the Target corporate umbrella, but would be an entirely separate retail store company.

 

Please prepare a report that would form the basis of a planning discussion with your senior marketing team of managers. Your report should include a detailed analysis of a potential market segment and a description of the proposed value proposition.  Be sure to discuss the financial opportunities that support your rationale for the kind of retail store chain that you would propose.  Research will be paramount here.

 

Your report should be about 1,000–1,250 words and include a minimum of three (3) scholarly references. Please use the APA format for your paper and references.  Information on APA format, including the APA running HEADER atop each pagem may be found at http://owl.english.purdue.edu.

 

Please include the following sections.

 

1. Brief Description of the proposed retail brand concept

 

2. Potential Market Segment

 

Identify the characteristics of your potential target market in the United States. The figure from the Week 2 Lecture is helpful—you may also include other variables that you consider relevant. You also need to estimate the size of your target market and the revenue potential. The list below contains information from which you might draw your target market description that should include demographics characteristics, geography, and any other appropriate segmentation variables.

 

 

3. The Value Proposition

 

Describe the bundle of benefits and features that are offered to the target customer. Features are what the company offers and benefits are what the customer derives from these features.

 

• Functional benefits: What basic product features are offered?
• Emotional benefits: What features are offered that make the customer feel good?
• Self-expressive benefits: What features are offered that help reflect and communicate the customer’s values to everyone in the social environment?

 

4. Conclusions  This will be your wrap-up that includes the key “takeaways” that you wish the senior marketing management team to ‘take away’ from your proposal to create the retail store chain under the parent company’s corporate umbrella.  It should include important facts or concepts on which you want these executives to reflect after they leave their meeting with you.

Assignment: Choose a news article that illustrates some aspect of realism in international politics OR liberalism in international politics OR constructivism in international politics and write about it, using the guidelines below. The article should be from the current semester (dated September 1, 2015, or later). This writing assignment will be based on the news article you have chosen. The paper is due in class at the beginning of class on November 17, 2015.
Plan ahead for this assignment. Write and rewrite it to make sure you do a good job summarizing the points of the article and expressing your thoughts. Professor Clark and both of the teaching assistants, Sara, Jay, and Gyu, are very happy to talk with you as you are working on it. The on-line writing lab (OWL) — <http://owl.english.purdue.edu/> — is also a good source for help.
Instructions for the assignment: Please double-space your paper using 11- or 12-point font, and limit its length to 3-to-5 pages. Please put your name and account identifier (the first half of your Purdue email address) on the paper, but not your student id number (to protect your privacy), and give the paper a title.
We ask you to submit the paper BOTH as a paper hard copy AND on-line at the link that will be provided. Also, please attach a copy of the article you are using. [For the paper copy, there is no need for a “report cover” – it is more convenient for us if you do not use one.]
The paper should have the following parts:
(1) Heading (10% including any references in section 4): Put a full citation of your article right under the title of your paper. Do this carefully. If the article you are using came from a newspaper’s web site, you must include all of the standard bibliographic information: Author, Title, Date of the article, Periodical Title, date you accessed the article, and the URL (if applicable). Also attach a copy of the article, please.
(2) Introduction and Summary (40%):
In an introductory paragraph, introduce the topic of the article and give the reader a sketch of the argument you will make and why.
In a brief section after the introduction, summarize what the article says. What is the topic, the main point of the article, and its conclusions? Is there any background the reader will need to know in order to understand your reflections in the next section? If so, include it. Note: Summarizing well is a fine art, so pay as much attention to this part of the assignment as to the part below.

(3) Reflection (50%): In a well-written and thoughtful section, state whether you see this as an example of realism , liberalism, or constructivism, and discuss the reasons why. Define realism , liberalism, or constructivism. Then explain how the article illustrates realism , liberalism, or constructivism, and how it relates to themes of this class. In this section, be sure to refer to theories, illustrations, or discussions we have had so far in this course. Finally, in a concluding paragraph, summarize your overall points. What is your evaluation of the article’s content with regard to realism , liberalism, or constructivism?

(4) References: If you use any other sources besides the article cited in your heading, put them in a reference list at the end of the paper.

Sources to use:
Begin right away to look for an article you will choose.
1. You must use a newspaper source, but your article can be retrieved electronically. We recommend the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Christian Science Monitor, and Times (London). All are reputable newspapers known for reliable and in-depth international reporting. They all have web sites. You may use another newspaper (the Indianapolis Star, the Chicago Tribune, or the Lafayette Journal and Courier, for example), but we strongly encourage you to explore the other national-level newspapers. It’s part of being a well-informed student of politics!
Do not use Time or Newsweek or a news magazine or trade journal or video/radio media source. CNN, for example, or BBC, may be useful sources of international news but they do not qualify as newspaper sources.
Sometimes students ask about using AP (Associated Press) or other wire service stories. These are usually fairly brief stories and they are only rarely attributed to a single reporter as author. We want to steer you away from using wire service articles, because these are rarely as detailed and informative as newspaper articles that are attributed to an author. Look for an article with a by-line (author)!
2. Newspaper database: LexisNexis on-line. If you want to look for an article about a particular topic, you can access LexisNexis, a general search engine for news sources, through the home page of the Purdue Libraries (<http://www.lib.purdue.edu/>). To access Lexis-Nexis, choose the gold “Databases” tab at the right on the library home page. That takes you to a selection of on-line databases. From the drop-down “Select a Database” box, select “LexisNexis Academic.” You can search LexisNexis by topic, date, etc. You are still asked to use one of the sources above. Note: it usually works better to search on an event or person than just on “liberalism,” “constructivism,” or “realism.”
3. Choose a descriptive news article that reports on an event, NOT an editorial or opinion piece or news analysis. This is because we want YOU to do the analysis. If you have questions about this, please don’t hesitate to check with Prof. Clark or one of the t.a.’s.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Never simply lift language off of a web site (or any source) or closely paraphrase it without citing the source. Cutting and pasting from web sources without proper use of quotes and citations is dishonest and a form of plagiarism—passing off others’ ideas as your own. Such papers will not receive a passing grade, and you could be further penalized. And, please, always make a printed copy of your own paper for yourself and a saved electronic copy before you turn it in, and keep it until your paper is returned.
Things we will look for when grading your paper: Even though this is a short assignment, it makes up a large part of your course grade (25%). The highest grades will be reserved for papers that are carefully written, have clarity of organization, and demonstrate thought and creative use of the important concepts of the course in an analytical or exceptionally perceptive fashion.
