To what extent are the major global issues of the current time, related to one another in the context of organisations?

This question can be addressed by considering any issues you wish, the only stipulation is that they are arguably of global significance. Here is a list of possible issues, but do not feel constrained by this. If you want to draw attention to other issues that is fine as long as they are issues that face many parts of the world and you can discuss the extent to which they are related in some way, (or you may argue they are not related, but you must argue it).

Globalisation

National culture

Gender inequality in the workplace

Climate change

Corporate power and corporate social responsibility

Business ethics

Leadership

Digitalisation / Technology

Marketing Plan: Overview Assignment Instructions

Overview

In many organizations, the assignment and completion of projects are increasingly completed in months or years. The use of technology, such as teleconferences, video-teleconferences, and computer technology has allowed organizations to reduce the costs of sending employees cross-country or even overseas. To be successful in this kind of environment, you must adapt and react to changing business dynamics in the marketplace. This assignment provides the experience to help you learn to develop a dynamic marketing plan.

Instructions

You will complete a Marketing Plan that introduces a new product by an existing Fortune 500 company. If you have an idea that would be a great fit for any company (perhaps even one that you are working for), be sure to seek the Instructor’s permission before you begin work on it. Keep in mind that it is usually difficult to research smaller companies (especially privately held ones unless you work for one and have good internal sources of information). You can change the company’s name if you wish to disguise the discussion of their strengths, weaknesses, or other “possibly sensitive” information.

This plan will be developed in stages (four sections) Each section assignment builds on previous section toward the completed Marketing Plan (MP) due at the end of the course, which will include all four sections.

Sections are due by end of respective module: week as shown below:

Module 2: Week 2: Marketing Plan: Company Analysis Assignment

Module 4: Week 4: Marketing Plan: Situation Analysis Assignment

Module 6: Week 6: Marketing Plan: Marketing Strategies Analysis Assignment

Module 8: Week 8: Marketing Plan: Final Plan Assignment

Researching and Writing Your MP

College-level writing is expected for this project. Areas where the students have had problems in the past are the following: spelling and grammar, omission of required topics or subject material, omission of outside references, plagiarism, and failure to meet stated length requirements. The current edition of APA is the formatting requirement. Use the Liberty University Online Writing Center as an aid.

Note: Your assignments will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

Summarize the main contributions of the sources you chose and how they enhanced your knowledge about the topic.

Description
For this assessment, research best practices related to a current health care problem. Your selected problem or issue will be utilized again in Assessment 3. To explore your chosen topic, you should use the first two steps of the Socratic Problem-Solving Approach to aid your critical thinking. View the Assessment Topic Areas media piece and select one of the health care problems or issues in the media piece to research. Write a brief overview of the selected topic. In your overview: Summarize the health care problem or issue. Describe your interest in the topic. Describe any professional experience you have with this topic. Identify peer-reviewed articles relevant to health care issue or problem. Conduct a search for scholarly or academic peer-reviewed literature related to the topic and describe the criteria you used to search for articles, including the names of the databases you used. You will select four current scholarly or academic peer-reviewed journal articles published during the past 3–5 years that relate to your topic. Refer to the NHS-FPX4000: Developing a Health Care Perspective Library Guide to help you locate appropriate references. Use keywords related to the health care problem or issue you are researching to select relevant articles. Assess the credibility and explain relevance of the information sources you find. Determine if the source is from an academic peer-reviewed journal. Determine if the publication is current. Determine if information in the academic peer-reviewed journal article is still relevant.  Analyze academic peer-reviewed journal articles using the annotated bibliography organizational format. Provide rationale for inclusion of each selected article. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to document a list of references along with key information about each one. The detail about the reference is the annotation. Developing this annotated bibliography will create a foundation of knowledge about the selected topic. In your annotated bibliography: Identify the purpose of the article. Summarize the information. Provide rationale for inclusion of each article. Include the conclusions and findings of the article. Write your annotated bibliography in a paragraph form. The annotated bibliography should be approximately 150 words (1–3 paragraphs) in length. List the full reference for the source in APA format (author, date, title, publisher, et cetera) and use APA format for the annotated bibliography. Make sure the references are listed in alphabetical order, are double-spaced, and use hanging indents. Summarize what you have learned from developing an annotated bibliography. Summarize what you learned from your research in a separate paragraph or two at the end of the paper. List the main points you learned from your research. Summarize the main contributions of the sources you chose and how they enhanced your knowledge about the topic.

What underlying mechanisms might explain these adverse health consequences of shift work?

Biological rhythms coursework

Write a response to sets of questions around three separate topics within biological rhythm research (750 words per response, not including references, figures and diagrams. Self-made tables can be included but will count towards the word count).

Question 1 (750 words max)

There is substantial evidence that working shifts has many adverse health consequences. (Please write about more scientific health consequences, (e.g. increased risk for diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer), rather than general health consequences, (e.g. decreased productivity and diminished quality of life.))

1. What underlying mechanisms might explain these adverse health consequences of shift work? (50%)
2. How might you go about designing a “healthier” shift work schedule? (25%)
3. What advice could you provide shift workers to improve their health outcomes? (25%)

Question 2 (750 words max)

A group of seasonal hamsters underwent surgery to destroy cells of the superior cervical ganglion (SCG). For 10 weeks, one group of these animals was then kept in a long photoperiod (14-hours light: 10-hours dark), with the other group in short photoperiod (10- hours light: 14-hours dark).

1. Describe and explain the 24-hour/circadian SCN rhythms that you would expect to observe in each group. (40%)
2. Describe and explain the 24-hour/circadian concentration of melatonin in the blood that you would expect to observe in each group. (30%)
3. Discuss the relevance of this research to humans living in the 21st (30%)

Question 3 (750 words max)
For many years it was thought that the intrinsic period of the human circadian pacemaker was 25 hours.

1. Describe the protocol which led to this estimate of approximately 25 hours period in humans. (25%)
2. Explain why in this protocol the estimate is likely to be longer than the true intrinsic circadian period. (25%)
3. Give examples of data and/or protocols that indicate that the intrinsic period is closer to 24 hours and discuss why these estimates may be better estimates, or are still confounded? (25%)
4. Give an example of an observation that suggests that modern estimates of the intrinsic human circadian period are valid, and relevant to understanding entrainment of human circadian rhythms. (25%)
