How are you doing on ¡Yo!? Are your sources turning out to be helpful? Have you determined which passages or ideas from the sources you want to include in your first draft? Does your introduction with thesis statement still work to express your ideas or does it need some tweaking? Does the outline you drafted work to support your thesis, now that you actually have some source material to add into the body paragraphs in support of your thesis?

Use the first part of the week to add the final touches to your research. Once you have a collection of 8 to 12 scholarly sources that you think say something on your thesis, put together your annotated bibliography and turn it in. Follow these steps.

  1. From your collection of 8-12 tentative scholarly sources, select the 4-6 sources you think may be the most useful for your paper.
  2. Skim through the relevant sections of all 4-6 sources completely and carefully, highlighting or underlining main ideas and passages you may want to refer to in your paper.
  3. Write short summaries or “annotations” (about 5 to 7 sentences each) of these 4-6 sources.
  4. Paste each of the 4-6 source annotations into your APA style reference page, right below where each source is listed.
  5. Do a final edit. Is your APA citation correct and complete throughout the document? (Remember, you can check APA style in your college’s Online Library.) Did you remember to put the listings in alphabetical order, for instance? Are your annotations free of mechanical errors?

Remember your Course Materials section contains some helpful Notes on Quality Research.

Description

You are the Executive Director at a midsized nonprofit museum. The museum, while successful, operates very close to the margins meaning your income and expenses are always very close to each other. Your most popular permanent exhibition is a collection of turn of the century surrealist paintings including work by Picasso, Dali, and Ernst. You have just begun a two-month membership campaign using the works in that collection in your marketing materials. The central image in your marketing campaign is a piece by Marc Chagall. Your campaign culminates with a gala held in the surrealist wing. This annual fundraising campaign usually brings in about 30% of your earnings for the year. You have just received a phone call informing you that the Marc Chagall painting at the center of your marketing campaign was stolen from a family by the Nazis during the Holocaust. The family, has asked for the painting back and has made it clear if you do not comply, they will pursue legal action. What do you do? Some things to note. It is 100% true that the painting was looted and sold by the Nazis during World War II. You, however, bought it last year from an anonymous private collector for a very large sum. The American Association of Museums (of which you are accredited) has suggested guidelines for Nazi looted paintings. They are available here: https://www.aam-us.org/programs/ethics-standards-and-professional-practices/unlawful-appropriation-of-objects-during-the-nazi-era/ Many museums who have been sued by former owners of Nazi looted paintings have won their court cases. Meaning the museum has been able to keep the paintings, but a court case is expensive and has the chance to ruin your reputation in the eyes of the public and your donors. The family, while firm about wanting the painting returned to their possession is open to negotiating the terms, but is not a family of means and could not afford to pay the full cost. Should you return the painting, the images in your marketing campaign would need to be changed at great cost to you because it would be false advertising. Your insurance company is able to cover only 15% of the value of the painting. No matter what you decide, you will have to make some statement to the press. Even if that statement is “no comment.” Write a formal letter to the Board of Directors explaining your recommended decision. Your letter must contain all of the following: A persuasive argument which clearly states how you believe the board should move forward. Which key stakeholders you spoke with before making your decision and why. The best- and worst-case scenarios which might may arise from your decision. Your proposed statement to the press. (No more than 250 words) You paper must be no less than 1500 words

What theories/concepts describe your behavior as an individual? What factors (i.e., contingencies/moderators) affect the operation of these theories/concepts?

Option #1: Personal Development Plan (PDP) Human Resources Generalist or Business Development Manager)

A Personal Development Plan (PDP) is a document that allows self-reflection, self-assessment, and research to understand yourself as an individual, as a member of teams, and as an organizational citizen. It also helps create opportunities for improvement goals. The PDP provides a foundation for becoming more effective in your roles as a follower, a leader, and a team member.

SECTION 1

Before describing explanatory theories, concepts, fit in teams, and fit in organizations, you must first articulate your strengths and weaknesses, values, and personality. Refer to previous course material throughout this project. This section of your project can include self-reflection, use of self-assessment instruments, and application of objective evidence.

Personal Assessment (3-5 pages): How do your personality assessment results fit into this section?

  • Strengths/Weaknesses
  • Values
  • Personality

SECTION 2

Next, include an articulation of theories and concepts to explain your behavior at three levels of analysis (individual, team, and organization). In addition, include factors (contingencies/moderators) that may alter the theory/concept’s operation. This section should include discussion of the following:

Theory/Concepts at the Individual Level (1-2 pages)

  • What theories/concepts describe your behavior as an individual?
  • What factors (i.e., contingencies/moderators) affect the operation of these theories/concepts? Consider peer pressure, the organization’s culture, and other factors.

Theory/Concepts at the Team Level (1-2 pages)

  • What theories/concepts describe your behavior as team member?

  • What theories/concepts describe your behavior as an organizational citizen?
  • What factors (i.e., contingencies/moderators) affect the operation of these theories/concepts? Consider peer pressure, the organization’s culture, and other factors.

SECTION 3

The final section looks to the future. Choose and describe at least one developmental goal at each of the three levels of analysis: the individual level, the team level, and the organizational level. Consider how the content of the course helps inform your choices of development goals. For each development goal, provide the goal, development activities (how you will work toward accomplishing the objective), resources/support (that you have or can develop toward achieving the goal), timeline, potential obstacles, and evidence of progress (i.e., milestones), as detailed below:

Development Goals (2-3 pages)

  • Development Goal (Individual Level) -Human Resources Generalist or Talent Acquisition Specialist
    • Development Activities

Write a 3 to 4-page essay identifying at least FOUR factors which led to colonial independence.

Assignment Overview

The American Revolution and Independence

As we saw in the Module Overview, there were numerous factors that ultimately led to revolution and independence. In this second Case assignment, you’ll be researching and writing about some of those factors.

Case Assignment

Write a 3 to 4-page essay identifying at least FOUR factors which led to colonial independence.

In your paper, explain which events triggered discord between the colonies and the Mother Country. Be sure to do some research on your own and use other resources to analyze the thought-processes which sparked independent thinking.

The best way to approach and organize the paper would be to create a title for each event and then discuss your findings. For example; for the first one you could write, “Event 1, The Seven Years War”. This would be followed by your narrative on how this war led to independence. The rest of the paper would follow this pattern.

Assignment Expectations

Use concepts from the background readings as well as any academic resources you can find (Wikipedia-type sources are not acceptable). Please be sure to use and cite your sources within the text and provide a reference page at the end of your paper.

Length: 3 to 4 pages, double-spaced and typed using 12 Point Times New Roman font.

The following items will be assessed in particular:

*Your ability to apply the basic concepts to the questions.

*Some in-text references to the background readings (APA formatting not required).

*The essay should address each element of the assignment. Remember to support your answers with solid references including the background readings.

The next part of the project will focus on specific areas of the concept, such as describing the menu, describing functional areas, and determining relevant data for the facilities.  You will need to use provided resources for overall project as well as describing specific areas. Necessary files are linked and found under “Resources” on class website navigation menu.  These forms should be presented as appendices in your submitted document.  Each worksheet will be presented in dedicated appendix, shown in sequence as Appendix A, Appendix B, and so on until complete.  Appendices follow the reference list in APA format.  Content related to a worksheet should annotate the relevant appendix.

Example: “The design worksheet in appendix A shows that 20% of the total square footage will be used for the bar.”

  • Facilities design: ACTION PLAN – Facility Design Worksheet
  • Each functional area: ACTION PLAN – Foodservice Facilities Program Worksheet

The content of the writing will provide an analysis of the data presented as well as justification for decisions or claims being made.  The content of the writing will also need to explain decisions made within context of the planning process, such as identifying what needed to be decided first or what decisions affected other aspects of the planning process.

The project planning analysis will need to include the following elements;

  • Compile operational data [Use facility design worksheet]
  • Menu development.
    • Your base menu must identify at least five [5] “signature” entrées that will affect layout or necessary equipment.
    • Discuss intended prices for these items.
    • Justify prices with a discussion of your food costs.
    • Estimate your projected sales and expenses for this menu.
  • Develop a Foodservice Facilities Program [Use foodservice facilities design worksheet]
    • Create a bubble diagram or flow chart to show how the areas relate to each other

Effect of Debt Issuance on Stock Valuation

Purpose of Assignment

The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate to students how the issuance of debt to purchase outstanding common stock could affect the value of the company’s equity and redefine the capital structure. The problem will also allow students to explore the effect of corporate taxes through debt financing.

Assignment Steps

What principles of distributive negotiation did Sherman use to gain his advantage?

Apotex And Bristol-Myers Squibb

Peter Dolan survived many crises in his 5-year tenure as CEO of drug giant Bristol-Myers Squibb, including a corporate accounting scandal, allegations of insider trading, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) raids of his office, and a stock price that dropped 60 percent during his tenure. But in the end, what may have done Dolan in was his negotiation performance against the head of Apotex, a Canadian drug company founded by Dr. Barry Sherman.

At its peak, Plavix-a drug to prevent heart attacks-was Bristol-Myers’s best-selling drug and accounted for a staggering one-third of its profits. So when Apotex developed a generic Plavix knockoff, Dolan sought to negotiate an agreement that would pay Apotex in exchange for a delayed launch of Apotex’s generic competitor. Dolan sent one of his closest lieutenants, Andrew Bodnar, to negotiate with Sherman. Bodnar and Sherman developed a good rapport and at several points in their negotiations asked their attorneys to leave them alone. At one key point in the negotiations, Bodnar flew to Toronto alone, without Bristol-Myers’s attorneys, as a “gesture of goodwill. The thinking was that the negotiations would be more effective this way.”

As Dolan, Bodnar, and Bristol-Myers became increasingly concerned with reaching an agreement with Sherman and Apotex, they developed a blind spot. Privately, Sherman was betting that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) wouldn’t approve the noncompete agreement the two parties were negotiating, and his goal in the negotiation was to extract an agreement from Bristol-Myers that would position Apotex favorably should the FTC reject the deal. Indeed, he nonchalantly inserted a clause in the deal that would require Bristol-Myers to pay Apotex $60 million if the FTC rejected the deal. “I thought the FTC would turn it down, but I didn’t let on that I did,” Sherman said. “They seemed blind to it.”

In the meantime, Apotex covertly began shipping its generic equivalent, and it quickly became the best-selling generic drug ever. Thus, Sherman also managed to launch the generic equivalent without Bristol-Myers even considering the possibility that he would do so while still engaged in negotiations.

“It looks like a much smaller generic private company completely outmaneuvered two of the giants of the pharmaceutical industry,” said Gbola Amusa, European pharmaceutical analyst for Sanford C. Bernstein & Company. “It’s not clear how or why that happened. The reaction from investors and analysts has ranged from shock to outright anger.” Within a few months, Dolan was out at Bristol-Myers (Carreyrou & Lublin, 2006; Saul, 2006).

Based on the above reading and the knowledge gained from your assigned readings, respond to the following questions:

What principles of distributive negotiation did Sherman use to gain his advantage?

Do you think Sherman behaved ethically? Why or why not?

What does this incident tell you about the role of deception in negotiation?
