Erick Erikson

/in /by

Erik Erikson discussed 8 stages of development that most people experience as they move through life. Interview 3 people (one of which can be yourself) who are at different stages of life. Consider the following questions:

What is their age and gender?  use young adult female 35 years of age im in college or if easier use college aged female any age you choose is fine
What stage of psychosocial development are they currently in using Eriksons framework? Describe the challenges associated with the stage that each of your subjects is experiencing.
Have they experienced and overcome the crisis Erikson associated with this stage?
What experiences led to the resolution of the previous stage, successfully or not?
Explain Eriksons theory to the person you are interviewing if they are old enough to reflect on their experience. Can they identify a stage that felt particularly relevant to their development?
Summarize what you have learned about Eriksons theory from this exercise. Do you agree or disagree with this theory of development? If you disagree discuss what you would change or an alternative model that you prefer.

Your assignment should be approximately 5 pages in length. Remember to use APA formatting. You should have a minimum of 4 references. The textbook can be one of your references and you should have 3 additional peer reviewed journal articles as references, one for each of the three stages that you are reviewing.

/in /by

  

Focus of the Final Paper

Strategic Warehouse Management, Inc. (SWM) is a U.S. based warehousing organization in the construction and management of warehouse operations. The CEOs market development team has determined that there is an opportunity to open a warehouse in Australia that could serve multiple businesses. The CEO plans to open a non-resident company (Land and Tax News, 2012). The CEO has also decided that the warehouse can be opened in any city in Australia. Some clients in Australia have also asked SWM to manage the flow of goods from Australia to U.S. locations. The CEO wants to get a preliminary plan developed as soon as possible before going further.
 

The CEO asked you to design a supply chain that includes warehouse operations in any city in Australia. In addition, the CEO has a number of items hed like to see you cover in the report. He has asked you to:

Develop requirements for the warehouse design and to provide an organization structure to manage the warehouse in Australia.

Present considerations for Workforce Management

Investigate key regulations and other key issues (e.g. labor climate) related to managing a warehouse in Australia as a foreign entity.

Develop export procedures and import procedures in the U.S.

Discuss supply chain risks and possible mitigations.

Analyze which operations SWM would outsource and which operations SWM would directly manage and explain why.

Outline the budget line items that would need to be considered (it is not necessary to develop a budget with dollar figures).

Determine the metrics you would use to measure success of the warehouse and the total supply chain.

Your report should be an eight to ten page APA style paper (not including the title and reference pages) and submitted to the CEO (your instructor) by the last day of the class. You are required to include at least 6 scholarly sources

Exploring the Action Learning Approach

/in /by

Aim: To familiarise yourself with the action learning approach, explore the value of the process and identify potential obstacles to the approach within the context of this course

Duration: 2 hours

We would like you to spend some time considering the action learning approach and thinking about how you feel about the process. You may have previously been involved in Action Learning Sets so might reflect upon these experiences, or if you have not participated in an Action Learning Set before, you might consider what obstacles and benefits you foresee in utilising the approach.

Now, think about your eight-week timeline for your project and consider whether your estimates still seem realistic. Consider how you are going to approach this courses Action Learning Sets and consider how to engage with the process to get the best results for your intended project.

We would like you to spend some time exploring some examples of active learning activities. The website provides numerous examples of types of active learning activities that are best suited to different group sizes. Try to identify those that you feel might be most applicable to your role and project.

We would then like you to consider the following questions:

How do you think the Action Learning Sets in this course will benefit your learning?
How do you intend to gain the maximum benefit from the Action Learning Sets in this course?
What obstacles do you foresee in the action learning process within this course and how might you overcome them?
How do you think Action Learning Sets might be of value outside of the MBA (Global) programme?
We would also like you to consider the elements of action learning that you think may be most challenging in relation to your project and identify any areas of concerns that might have arisen from your personal reflections.

We would like you to take this opportunity to share any thoughts you may have about the action learning approach of this course in the Tutorial area for discussion with your tutor.

Statistic Final Paper 2 Page Rough Draft

/in /by

  ** Your paper has to be under 20% to be accepted. Try to use less direct quotes and more paraphrasing.

Rough Draft assignment: 

For this assignment, take a moment to review the Final Paper instructions and requirements in Week 6. You will see that the Final Paper is a discussion about the use of several statistical techniques used in research studies. While it shares similarities to papers in other classes, you will find that its focus is different. For example, like most assignments, your Final Paper will leverage research studies. However, instead of your analysis focusing on the content of the research study, you will be asked to focus on the statistical tools used in the study and examine how those tools contributed toward the findings in the study. (In other words, the topic of the study itself is irrelevant.)

For this Draft Final Paper of two to three double spaced pages, you will locate three studies, based on the three techniques listed in the Final Paper instructions. Then, address the following items for each of the three research studies you selected:

  • State the research question being asked.
  • State which of the three statistical tools the study represents.

Note: There is no need to discuss how the tool is used in the study, as some of the techniques have not yet been covered. No conclusion is needed for this introductory paper.

 

Week 6 – Final Paper

Final paper overview

 

Over the past few weeks, you have explored a variety of statistical techniques that each play an important role in conducting research. For this Final Paper, you will evaluate the application, interpretations, and presentation of statistics in formal and informal research studies.

Begin by locating three research studies to analyze for your Final Paper, based on the three statistical techniques below:

  • At least one study should display data through graphs, tables, and/or charts.
  • At least one study should describe the hypothesis testing procedure that was used (either explicitly /specifically, or implicitly/generally).
  • At least one study should use inferential statistical analysis tests or correlation/regression approaches.

Once you have selected your three research studies, develop a paper using the format below as a guide.

Final Paper Structure

  • Opening: State which three specific statistical procedures you will be evaluating.
  • Thesis: Describe how these statistical procedures been used to answer research questions.
  • Literature Review: For each study presented, state the research question being asked.
    • Explain how the illustrated statistical procedure helped to answer each research question.
  • Statistical Discussion: Analyze the value, strengths, and weaknesses of each statistical technique in answering formal and informal research questions.
  • Conclusion: Summarize the general use of statistical tools in quantitative research studies.
