(2014a)REQUIREMENTS:ETHICAL ISSUE BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS Prof. WestPURPOSEThis written assignment intends to provide practical experience in policymaking from an ethical standpoint.  It is due on or before __________ (midnight US Eastern time), and must be submitted via Blackboard.This assignment requires use of the standard format for a policy memorandum.  The format is designed to help high-level executives make a good decision about an issue under extreme information and time constraints.  In this case, the course instructor will be playing the role of executives; you will provide the briefing in written form.The policy memo type is the decision-making memorandum, which can be used for problem identification and agenda setting, policy formulation, or policy implementation decisions.FORMATThe first and perhaps most important rule is that the memorandum in its entirety cannot exceed 3 pages.  You should use standard 1-inch margin settings (left, right, top, bottom).  The font should be Arial 11. Use single-spacing within paragraphs, and a double space between paragraphs.  The footer of the page should include page numbers.  (This instruction document follows these formatting conventions.) Since this is not a formal research paper, only brief in-text references with source and date are required, such as ?(Centers for Disease Control, 2013) or ?(New York Times, 3 January 2014)? Use quotation marks if it is necessary to use a direct quote, but in general a lot of quoted excerpts aren?t appropriate for this brief format.TOPICSSince this is a class in Public Administration ethics, your topic should relate to an ethical issuerequiring government action. Check with the instructor if you are unsure about the suitability of a topic.  You have only 3 pages here, so don?t pick too big a topic. While the policy memorandum is typically focused on an executive decision, you can also discuss topics for legislative action, where the executive would take the lead in trying to set the agenda for legislators. SECTIONSA decision-making memorandum has 5 standard sections, and your memo should as well.   (Note that the 5th is merely a set of checkboxes.)  The sample is on the next page.  Sample:ETHICAL POLICY MEMORANDUM FOR: West (maybe President West, Governor West, Mayor West, Director West)FROM: [your name] (don?t forget to put this!)DATE: March 15, 2016SUBJECT: [your topic]1. Action-Forcing EventSpecify the nature of the situation, issue, or problem requiring or suggesting action and the degree of flexibility associated with it (e.g., whether immediate action is needed). Be sure to address the inherent ethical issue.2. Background/AnalysisOutline the current status and relevant history of the action-forcing event.  Provide a succinct assessment of essential information about the key issues, principal actors, and primary constituencies (stakeholders) affected by the action-forcing event so that an informed, well-justified, and persuasive decision can be made.The action-forcing event can sometimes be summarized in a sentence or two, but the background/analysis section can be anywhere from paragraphs to pages long.  Ideally this section presents enough evidence that it is conceivable to build a consensus among key stakeholders on a particular action.3. Policy Option(s)Summarize options stating the advantages and disadvantages of each possible proposal. If there is only one recommended option, then this section is not necessary and the Recommendations section alone will suffice.  Each option should spell out the pros and cons (unless that is provided in the Recommendation section), and should address the corresponding ethical ramifications.4. Recommendation(s)Indicate a single recommendation or list options. Identify and summarize the most important benefits and costs of each option, if this was not done in the prior section.  Identify likely support, opposition and criticisms of each option from various stakeholders. Explain why your recommendation is the most ethical approach.

University of Nairobi Quantitative Risk Assessment Discussion

Q1. The elimination of hazards is the first order of safety. The control of physical condition is basic and frequently difficult in a plant and it requires the best of scientific, engineering and management information for its accomplishment. The evaluation and control of mechanical and physical hazards encompass four engineering aspects: design, construction, operation and maintenance.Choose a suitable process industry and conduct a HAZOP and risk analysis study for a particular section of the industry or the total plant. List out the various factors and identify the issues taken into consideration about the discrepancies in the design, operation, control and maintenance of the plant. Through this analysis also bring out various protection methodologies presently adopted by the industry and discuss its ability in meeting the safety norms and standards.( 2000 words )Q2. Industrialization and related activities in the last few decades resulted in many issues with the use and handling of hydrocarbons and other components used in oil and gas process industry. Major accidents represent the ultimate, most  catastrophic way in which a process industry project can go wrong. Accidents cause death, suffering & pollution of the environment and disruption of business. To minimize accidents it is highly important to assess and analyze various risk scenarios associated with the industry and projects.Briefly explain about Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) techniques and mention its basic difference from other type of hazard analysis. Explain the objectives, methodologies and the procedural steps adopted in QRA. Choose any process industry and by using process flow diagram (PFD), briefly describe its salient features. Identify all possible hazards in the chosen section of the plant and tabulate process parameters (make suitable assumptions).List out minimum five failure scenarios and asses the risk quantitatively by assuming suitable failure frequencies.

University of the Cumberlands Information Technology Annotated Bibliography

The APA explains that an annotated bibliography is essentially a summation of citations to books, articles, Websites, and scholarly documents. Each citation is followed by a short (usually about 150 words) paragraph, ?the annotation?. The purpose of completing an annotated bibliography is to gather a comprehensive list of like-kind resources that help an individual or group towards their collective research body. This is inching the group towards their final project. For this assignment, you will need to collect twelve (4)crediblesources. This includes peer review journal articles, books, news articles (not blogs entries), books, or government documents that contribute to the completion of your research paper

Each student will write a short research paper for a peer-reviewed research paper that pertains to the week?s assigned reading.  This will be a detailed summary of the research paper and what you gained from the research.  Each week, you will find an article/peer-reviewed research paper that pertains to the week’s assignment.  If you have a difficult time, Google Scholar is a wonderful location to find these types of articles: Once you find the article, you will simply read it and then write a review of it.  Think of it as an article review where you submit a short overview of the article.

University of Washington Bothell Marketing Management Case Study

CASE ANALYSES:Cases are useful learning tools. They allow you to analyze an actual business situation and to consider real marketing problems. The purpose of the case analysis is to define the problem facing the firm, generate alternative solutions, and suggest the best solution based on market place conditions and the firm’s resources. Your analysis and recommendations will be richer if you spend time trying to discern and then employ the appropriate set of theoretical frameworks and analytical tools that you have been exposed to thus far.Even though these are real business situations, you should not be concerned in your analysis about the actual decisions of the firms (some of the cases are old enough that decisions have been made and results are obvious). First, there are always many options available to managers, and you should not assume the managers made the optimal decision. Second, sometimes cases are simplified, the time frame shrunk and/or only a portion of the situation is presented to you. Therefore, the real situation may have been more complex or even slightly different from the case presentation, to make your task easier. Third, even if a firm made a “good” decision, it is likely that other effective alternatives were available. Therefore, there will be no grading criterion which includes the firm’s actual decisions, and you should NOT spend time trying to locate the “real” decisions at the expense of thoughtful, original analysis.The use of background data (as the ?Internal Consultants? and “Management” teams ? the two case teams) will typically not be needed as the case packet provides the relevant and requisite information. However, recent theories, analytical tools and marketing frameworks to analyze the industry, the product, the market, the consumers, the competitors, etc., can be used to structure your analysis.You will do a 1-page write-up outlining the pertinent issues and your recommendations.
