I need some assistance with these assignment. benefits of outsourcing: macro Thank you in advance for the help!

“Outsourcing is the latest buzzword these days for the cost and quality conscious companies all over the world, who are outsourcing their non-core business processes” (Hailey). Outsourcing involves a contract with a third party and includes a set of agreements between the supplier and the buyer company. Once an agreement is reached, the supplier and the buyer operate the business processes and dealings in accordance with the agreement. Those companies which provide the service to a buyer company regarding any business operation is known as a service provider company.

Some of the common tasks and activities that are outsourced to the supplier company include data entry, billing services, and marketing (Mclvor).There are a lot of valuable macro benefits associated with outsourcing business operations to a supplier company. Outsourcing is one of the most important parts of any organization or industry. There are many companies that believe in outsourcing because it helps them in cutting the costs of manufacturing and labor. Some of the most observed benefits of outsourcing include saving money, cutting costs, increased speed of production, increased efficiency, access to specialized supplier companies, more concentration on the core business activities, improved customer satisfaction, achieving market domination, and improved compliance and security.

In any domestic country, outsourcing results in less low skilled and more high skilled work. It is because when companies see that they have not got any high skilled labor regarding any specific business operation, they outsource that business operation to those companies which are highly skilled in those processes. High-skilled work is also very important in achieving a competitive edge in the market and this task can be perfectly achieved through outsourcing. Free trade is another aspect of outsourcing in which companies can import the parts of products from&nbsp.other countries.

Those parts which are more costly to be produced in a home country can be imported from other countries where labor rate and manufacturing cost is less as compared to the home country.&nbsp.

CHAPTER 1. WHY TEACH TO DEVELOP TALENT

1. Do you believe that we have a “talent development crisis?” Why or why not?

2. What has been your experience with a “test-targeted” culture?

3. The Golden Circle was developed primarily for businesses as a concept for motivating inspiring organizations. How could you apply this concept to your own life?

4. How is Sir Ken Robinson’s metaphor of today’s schools as “fast food restaurants” helpful in motivating transformation in education?

5. Incentives DO produce results (p. 4). So why not rely on them to boost achievement?

6. Review the summaries of the upcoming chapters, 2 – 8. What concepts or practices caught your attention or interest?

CHAPTER 2. YOU CAN MOTIVATE AND ENGAGE TOMORROW’S INNOVATORS TODAY

This chapter develops six Key Understandings (p. 14). Use these to guide your reading, and review them again at the end of the chapter to check for understanding.

1. Which factors that support intrinsic motivation (autonomy, competence, involvement) do you think are the most important in your own motivation? Which do you think are the most needed in today’s schools and workplaces?

2. The concept of “flow” is introduced here as the optimum state of engagement. What is your understanding of “flow?” How have you experienced it?

3. This chapter introduces the five stages of talent-targeted teaching and learning. The paradigm shift in this approach centers on our goals for learners. As a student, do you think your learning experiences would be different if your classes had talent-targeted goals? Why or why not?

4. The aptitudes of innovators and STEM and humanities aptitudes are introduced in this chapter (p. 19). These will be developed in detail in Chapters 4, 5, 6. Reflect on how education would differ if we focused on teaching these aptitudes.

5. This chapter introduces the talent goal frame planning process and the sample talent-targeted learning studies. You will be applying these processes in your own Differentiated Lesson Plan and Differentiation Unit Plan.  There will be many more examples in Chapters 4 – 8.  For now, however, make notes of what is

Provide a 8 pages analysis while answering the following question: Deserving and Undeserving Poor Concepts in Social Development. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required.

Inequality within the society can hinder social interaction and create discrimination if the society does not pull together to help the less fortunate (Jacobs 2010, pp. 61-62). The development of society will ensure efficiency, quality, productivity, and cohesion within society. In this respect, poor people are of two main groups namely, the deserving poor and the undeserving poor. Certain policies and programs help in dealing with the deserving poor and the undeserving poor, so that the overall society can be uplifted economically, socially, spiritually, and intellectually (Segal 2010, pp. 191-193). In as much as human service organizations regularly engage in social development programs, the concept of ‘deserving and ‘undeserving’ poor does not entirely in the development and implementation of social policies and programs.

The concept of deserving and undeserving poor has sparked heated debate in various political, social, and economic platforms across the globe. The deserving poor are people who are poor because of circumstances outside their control or unfortunate incidents such as unemployment, accidents, and job layoffs. On the other hand, the undeserving poor, just as the name suggests, are poor people who are entirely responsible for their poverty perhaps because of drunkenness and laziness (Romano 2014,&nbsp.pp. 23-24). It is difficult to allocate the right resources to the less fortunate because of the mixture of the deserving and undeserving poor within any given society.

Some cases truly deserve consideration, for example, of the elderly and the disabled. Others, like the opportunistic poor people, do not deserve any help from humanitarian organizations, especially if such people had the chance to make their future (Furnham 2012, pp. 196-198).During the Victorian times, the issue of morality as it appertains to social development was raging, many people wanted to define the concept of ‘undeserving and ‘deserving’ poor in a moral way that did not disenfranchise anyone.

The topic emerged&nbsp.primarily because the poor people were increasing in number with most of them falling in various categories. There were the criminals who deserved no pity and genuinely poor people.

Write 5 pages with APA style on Single-Sex Education and Co-Education.

The present decade has witnessed the resurfacing of the single-sex educational system, which is largely attributed to the transformation in the educational reform policies, and most of all to the rising cynicism about the credibility of co-educational systems with respect to its ability to offer an unbiased learning environment to the students and its approach towards the treatment of issues concerning gender bias.&nbsp.The present decade has witnessed the resurfacing of the single-sex educational system, which is largely attributed to the transformation in the educational reform policies, and most of all to the rising cynicism about the credibility of co-educational systems with respect to its ability to offer an unbiased learning environment to the students and its approach towards the treatment of issues concerning gender bias.

&nbsp.The arguments in favor of and against a particular type of educational system which has helped shape our perspectives, although wide in number, are more or less, ambiguous both in terms of nature and content, and hence inconclusive. The success or failure of single-sex education or co-education is dependent on various factors such as the objectives and mission of the institutions, indicators of success used to analyze the phenomenon, historical perspectives, financial constraints, availability of resources, etc.

among others.&nbsp.Given the fact that all types of educational institutions regardless of the composition of its students, aim for excellence in learning, and supporting the students in achieving an overall development. the decision regarding which type of educational setting is better becomes all the more complex. On the basis of available literature, this study attempts to seek answers to the question:&nbsp.‘Whether there are any major differences observed in students studying in the single-sex or co-educational environment?

’ andWhat type of differences are observed among such students? the single-sex educational setting offers certain specific benefits to girls such as improved self-esteem, lesser instances of gender stereotyping particularly with regard to the choice of disciplines which they intend to pursue, and a comfortable learning environment. Factors other than the gender composition (e.g.
