Assessment 2: Case study part 2 – case article: social enterprise or sustainable tourism business or special topic      30%Assessment 2: Case study part 2 – case article: social enterprise or sustainable tourism business or special topic      30%
Article – individual work (or as a co-operative pair) 30%      Due: As per teaching schedule
ObjectiveTo compile an article that reports on, and critically analyses, the objectives, operations and performance outcomes of either: 1 – a social enterprise in the country in which your course is conducted; 2.  or a sustainable tourism business in the country in which your course is conducted; 3. or to do with a special topic – as advanced by your local lecturer – regarding the country in which your course is conducted (things like Palm oil; ‘clean coal energy’ etc.). Note: if you wish to choose a enterprise, business or special topic in a different country you must seek permission from your lecturer.
ScenarioA major international business magazine – HBR (Herbert Management Review) – has contracted you to write a ‘profile’ article on either a social enterprise OR a sustainable tourism business OR a special topic. They believe there are some really interesting organisations or topics that would be of interest to local and overseas readers.
Alternative #1 – note on social enterprises (for further details see Topic 9): Social enterprises are businesses established by entrepreneurs with an emphasis on human values rather than just profit. They are not charities or welfare agencies, but seek to achieve social change by having an economically viable business model that services societal needs while drawing support from the community. Some Australian examples (there are many also in Malaysia and other countries): the MADCAP Café that employees young people with mental health issues to make the coffee in stands at Masters Hardware stores; Fifty-six threads café run by AMES – which trains young refugees and migrants in hospitality skills; Streateats – trains & employs homeless youth; Who gives a crap – recycled toilet paper; Dress for success – clothes for women in need of support in getting a job; Scarf hospitality that trains refugees; and Goodcycles – trains and employs disengaged youth in bicycle repairs
Alternative #2 – note on sustainable tourism businesses (for further details see Topic 9): Sustainable tourism takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing and balancing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities. Things like eco-hotels, nature tours etc.Alternative #3 – note on special topics: in some locations in various semesters your local lecturer may provide you with an alternative area of study to social enterprises or sustainable tourism (ideas @ corporateknights.com)
RequiredPrepare an article for the business magazine that reports on, and critically analyses, the objectives, operations and outcomes of a social enterprise or sustainable tourism business or special topic – and include performance data and photos where possible. The magazine is expecting: great content in a feature which is engaging, and exhibits a clear and crisp writing style (20%); and an oral presentation to a business conference (in fact your classroom!) sponsored by the magazine (5%). Article quality not quantity is the key. One author: about 1,200 to 1,500 words plus illustrations. Two authors: about 1,800 to 2,200 words plus illustrations.Notes1. You report should provide the reader with a brief background of social enterprises or sustainable tourism businesses or special topic: what are they; what they do; how recent a phenomena are they; who are the stakeholders; and how they fit with a modern capitalist economy.2. Your report is expected to contain pertinent primary data – information that has been developed by your group. Your primary data can come from: your observations of the social enterprise or sustainable tourism business in action (e.g. what you experience visiting say a café, bar or wherever the public interface of the organisation is); and/or discussions (and quotes) that you get directly from the operators or clients that you gather in person, by phone or by electronic means. As this is a magazine article, no formal Harvard referencing at the end (‘out of text’) is required – but sources would usually be given ‘in-text’ e.g.: “ … the website notes that 300 people were assisted …”; “ … staff said that business is increasing rapidly …”. 3. This is not a ‘cut and paste from the internet’ exercise – articles that do not contain substantive primary data and do not provide a critical analysis cannot receive a pass grade.

director of a regional Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) office. The…

 

For this Assignment, you will take the perspective of a director of a regional Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) office. The national EPA Office of Environmental Information (OEI) has tasked all regional directors to identify an environmental hazard in your community by again visiting the EPA’s EJScreen tool at http://www2.epa.gov/ejscreen and enter a zip code (e.g., your hometown) in the “Launch the Tool” section. When the map is loaded, choose “Add Maps.” Highlight “Additional Maps,” and select “Sites reporting to EPA.” Explore the various “Sites reporting to EPA” (air emissions, hazardous waste, water dischargers, superfund, and toxic releases) to find a contaminant that affects your community. For this contaminant, prepare an executive summary (2–3 pages) to submit to EPA OEI. In this summary, please discuss the human health effects of exposure, the sources into the environment, and the route of human exposure. Specify whether the hazard is chemical, physical, or biological and whether this affects occupational health, the general public, or both.

Assignment: Competitive Advantage Case Study (PLG1)

Businesses are always striving to “win,” as the course textbook points out in Chapter 1. One highly competitive marketplace is that of the commercial airline industry.

Written Assignment: Choose a Part 121 air carrier (such as American, Delta, Southwest, etc.) and provide data that shows how that enterprise has successfully employed competitive advantage obtained through the utilization of information technology to win and keep loyal customers or operate more efficiently in the reservations, maintenance, or operations departments. You may provide a historical example that would be found going back several decades. Learning from the past is a great way to succeed in the future.

 

Conduct in-depth research on the topic using, at least, two primary sources, outside of the course textbook, as references. Compose your Case Study assignment deliverable as a scholarly paper. Use Microsoft Word® to compose your data. Please remember to include a Title Page with a “Running head,” an Abstract, in-text citations, a Conclusion, and a Reference List. The body of the paper should be two-three pages of double-spaced text in length.

Use APA Style to cite and reference any data “borrowed” from sources. Your composition needs to be grammatically sound and free of spelling errors. Use terminology from the reference sources and your textbook. Unless you are a subject matter expert on the topic, based on your degrees, certifications or “on the job training,” do not submit data obtained only from personal experience. Your document submission is due by the end of Module 1. Your submission data will be checked through Turnitin, a service that checks your work for potential plagiarism.

Leadership, statesmanship, governance – Founders Analysis Paper

 

 

Leadership, statesmanship, governance – Founders Analysis Paper

 

Order InstructionsFOUNDERS ANALYSIS PAPER INSTRUCTIONS –
Module/Week 1 provided an overview of biblical principles related to leadership, statesmanship, and government. In this module/week, you evaluate the lives, actions and decisions of key leaders in the American founding. In turn, this paper will require you to analyze those founders in light of the biblical principles discussed in Module/Week 1. It consists of 3 parts (below). These sections must be discussed in the order presented above and with appropriate headings
• Part 1: A summarization of biblical principles of government, leadership, and statesmanship relevant to founding a nation (1–1.5 pages); • Part 2: An application of those principles to the decisions and actions of George Washington and Patrick Henry (1-1.5 pages) and • Part 3: Application of the statesmanship principles discussed in parts 1 and 2 to one germane issue in a contemporary context (1-2 pages). (The application is not a full blown case study as you read in Newell. The application links the principles and in Part 2 to a similar situation today.
In Part 2, remember to provide specific evidence (i.e., actions taken and decisions made) to explain how these leaders demonstrated the various attributes and principles discussed in Part 1. In doing all of this, keep in mind the following:
1) While statesmanship is certainly about personal leadership skills, moral attributes, and vision, it must also include an understanding of how government actually works and should be structured. There are plenty of nice, honorable people who care for others but who do not possess an understanding of the inter-workings of government and the required structure needed for a government designed to figh injustice, prevent exploitation, and limit tyranny, particularly in founding a nation.2) Thus, your discussion must include a conversation about the type of understanding needed by a statesman as it relates to government structure. The class readings and in particular, the class presentations for this week will be really helpful to that end.3) Your discussion must also focus on those statesmanship principles needed specifically for founding a nation. As you will notice from the course, we discuss statesmanship in a variety of contexts. It could be that different statesmanship principles are needed for these different contexts. Therefore, make sure you are thinking specifically about the challenges of creating a nation based upon justice and liberty for this assignment.
General requirements:• 3-5 pages, not counting the title page or references page• Citations from: o 3–5 outside scholarly sourceso the “Leadership and Statesmanship” articleo from Newell and Vaughan (1997) and the required reading and presentations for the week
