WEEK 7 THE LEGISLATURE

/in /by

 

INSTRUCTIONS
 You are to write a critical analysis of ONE of the two TWO assigned topics below. Your analysis must NOT be more than three short paragraphs. The three paragraphs must NOT EXCEED 250 words with works Cited included. When completed, submit assignment.  SHOW WORD COUNT.

PLEASE NOTE  Since your name is already uploaded in the course, no need to include it on your submission nor do you need to include instructor’s name as per the usual MLA style. Include ONLY the assigned topic at top of submission.

A critical analysis is NOT a description. Rather it is a well researched and carefully thought out set of arguments that are systematic, coherent, logical and precise, drawing heavily on evidence to support arguments. Examples of a critical, analytical paper have been provided to you in previous  discussions. 

NOTE:  Use of personal pronouns{ I, you, me, we, they, etc., } are not allowed and so are contractions: {It’s, isn’t, weren’t, aren’t, you’re, etc}. Use of encyclopedia  as a source is never allowed  nor can it be cited as such. Use of the MLA system to cite sources must be carefully followed both within text and in Works Cited.

QUESTIONS

1) Why were the Founding Fathers so careful in creating a bicameral legislature and assigned so much more powers to the Senate than to the House of Representatives? Do you think this split in powers reflect Dye & Zeigler’s argument about Elite Theory?

2) Currently, the United States House of Representatives is controlled by the Democrats, the Senate and Presidency by the Republicans. Is democracy in America  better served with one political party controlling both the Senate and the Presidency with political power to also control the Judiciary?

PLEASE NOTE:

Information on Locke’s Treatise on Government (NOT the encyclopedia version) can be found online and so too the works of Baron de Montesquieu. Please research them along with library texts to fully and completely inform yourself on this topic.

Most business people would agree that being an innovator can be very valuable but this case suggests that it may be useful to innovate in the way one innovates, like General Electric has done with its reverse innovation strategy.

Discuss innovation and reverse innovation for large global businesses.

Address the following in your paper:

  • What are the similarities and differences between GEs traditional innovation and reverse innovation?
  • Why is GE so interested in reverse innovation?
  • What are the main concerns that prevent Western MNEs from aggressively investing in emerging economies? What are the costs if they choose not to focus on emerging economies?
  • Why is a leading US MNE such as GE afraid of emerging multinationals from emerging economies?

The requirements below must be met for your paper to be accepted and graded:

  • Write 650 words using Microsoft Word in APA style, see example below.
  • Use font size 12 and 1 margins.
  • Include cover page and reference page.
  • At least 80% of your paper must be original content/writing.
  • No more than 20% of your content/information may come from references.
  • Use at least three references from outside the course material, one reference must be from EBSCOhost. Text book, lectures, and other materials in the course may be used, but are not counted toward the three reference requirement.
  • Cite all reference material (data, dates, graphs, quotes, paraphrased words, values, etc.) in the paper and list on a reference page in APA style.

Short Paper – Entrepreneurs

/in /by

Organizations, in spite of their size and bureaucracies, contribute to the development and use of technology. Organizations coordinate individual efforts and skills so that these tasks can be accomplished. Coordination is usually accomplished through the application of the following: bureaucratic principles, specialization, formalization (the use of rules, regulations and SOPs), and hierarchical authority. Bureaucracies rely on rules, regulations, and formal methods of management to get their employees to do what needs to be done. But inventors need freedom, which puts them at odds with bureaucratic procedures.

After reading the module notes and all supplemental materials, discuss and support your opinions about entrepreneurs and technology today, using the following questions as a guide:

  • Who comes to mind when you think of present-day entrepreneurs?
  • Does todays economic and political environment promote or retard entrepreneurial efforts?
  • What challenges are entrepreneurs faced with today regarding technological advancement and society?

Support your position using appropriate sources that are properly cited. Your paper should be 2 pages in length (not including title and reference pages). It must be formatted according to   [PDF, File Size 131 KB], 6th edition, including title and reference pages.

in 600 words, identify and analyze the actors that negotiate power in the context you are studying. In doing this, reflect on and write about: actors with power, actors without power, power that is negotiated, examples of situation where power is treated as status quo. We define an actor as any entity with agency and (in theory) tools to act upon the world. Examples: an individual, a group of people, a country, a university, an institution. You are required to engage with at least two articles from throughout our semesters reading (not to overlap with readings that you use in any other assignment). The assignment will be graded on three rubrics: Coherence (30%), ethnographic appropriateness (50%), grammar, spelling, and length (20%).
