Using demand and supply analysis, describe a specific situation where a shortage occurred

Discussion Rationing function
Prices serve a rationing function. When quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied, prices rise to alleviate the shortage. When quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded, prices fall to alleviate the surplus. However, when prices are inflexible, shortages and surpluses persist. Other rationing mechanisms must develop.
Using demand and supply analysis, describe a specific situation where a shortage occurred. Why were prices unable to adjust in this market?
Combining what you learned from your readings as well as from the video clip, what other rationing functions could develop to alleviate the shortage?

Create a compensation package for a new expatriate position

Employee compensation Discussion
Write a 35-page compensation and benefits package for a new expatriate position working for either Java Corp. or an organization you are familiar with.
Structuring and communicating a total compensation package that meets regulatory requirements and the needs of a global workforce requires a delicate balancing act between what is required and what will contribute to an effective relationship between employer, employee, and the community or
country in which the company operates. Communicating benefits programs to employees can be as important as the benefits themselves. Knowing how to leverage all available compensation options is a necessary skill for any HR professional.

What are the risks and benefits of the FDA-approved medicine?

Discussion: Prescribing for Older Adults and Pregnant Women
After assessing and diagnosing a patient, PMHNPs must take into consideration special characteristics of the patient before determining an appropriate course of treatment. For pharmacological treatments that are not FDA-approved for a particular use or population, off-label use may be considered when the potential benefits could outweigh the risks.
In this Discussion, you will investigate a specific disorder and determine potential appropriate treatments for when it occurs in an older adult or pregnant woman.
To Prepare:
Choose one of the two following specific populations: either pregnant women or older adults. Then, select a specific disorder from theDSM-5to use.
Use the Walden Library to research evidence-based treatments for your selected disorder in your selected population (either older adults or pregnant women). You will need to recommend one FDAapproved drug, one non-FDA-approved off-label drug, and one nonpharmacological intervention for
treating the disorder in that population.
By Day 3 of Week 9
Recommend one FDA-approved drug, one off-label drug, and one nonpharmacological intervention for treating your chosen disorder in older adults or pregnant women.
Explain the risk assessment you would use to inform your treatment decision making. What are the risks and benefits of the FDA-approved medicine? What are the risks and benefits of the off-label drug?
Explain whether clinical practice guidelines exist for this disorder, and if so, use them to justify your recommendations. If not, explain what information you would need to take into consideration.
Support your reasoning with at least three current, credible scholarly resources, one each on the FDA-approved drug, the off-label, and a nonpharmacological intervention for the disorder.

Differentiate between traditional and strategic human resource approaches and explain your rationale.

Human Resources: From Traditional to Strategic
In the past, HR departments were seen as conduits for employee practices such as hiring, firing, and benefits. This narrow range of responsibilities is no longer enough, however. In todays competitive workforce, it is critical that HR professionals and those for whom they are responsible for hiring bring
skills that will help advance the strategic goals and objectives of their organizations (Stewart & Brown, 2014).
After reading the Learning Resources, reflect on the different strategies HR professionals use to cope with the multitude of challenges their organizations face every day. Consider also how current trends influence and cause these challenges.
With these thoughts in mind:
Select at least one topic from the assigned chapters that is of particular interest to you related to traditional and strategic approaches to human resources management.
Consider a real-world situation that relates to or could be addressed utilizing primary concepts from the assigned readings.
Post a substantive response that includes the following:
Describe the topic you selected and explain how it relates specifically to strategic human resources management.
Differentiate between traditional and strategic human resource approaches and explain your rationale.
Describe a real-world situation that could be addressed utilizing primary concepts related to each approach (traditional or strategic) from the assigned readings.
Identify the strengths and weaknesses of each approach and explain why they are strengths or weaknesses.

Assess the purpose of the WARN act, including potential pros and cons

Assignment 3:Legal Critical Thinking Exercise
Analyze the following situation:
The local textile plant has a workforce of 55 full-time hourly workers, 12 part-time workers (less than 15 hours per week), and six managers that are salaried. The company has been struggling for about five years and has just lost its only major account with a sporting clothes company. Contract renegotiations
have been intense for the past six months, but they collapsed two days ago. There is barely enough cash to pay workers for their last two weeks of work. In order not to incur additional payroll obligations to the workers, the company has called a meeting of all employees to announce the plant’s closing at
the end of the week (in two days). Although the workers were not overly surprised, they were overwhelmed that so many would be seeking employment in their small community within the next few days. Even though the hourly workers are to be terminated at the end of the week (in two days),
managers (those that are salaried) will receive their pay for another 60 days as they handle the closing of the plant.
Analyze this situation from the perspective of the company managers and the HR department by addressing the questions below. Before beginning your analysis, read Section 639.9 “When may notice
be given less than 60 days in advance” of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN)
Act.to access the WARN Act.
For your report, evaluate managements human resource plan of action for the immediate plant closing, including the following items:
Assess the purpose of the WARN act, including potential pros and cons.
Evaluate whether managements human resource plan for the immediate plant closing is the correct plan, including legal implications of the WARN act as it pertains to the scenario.
Justify recommendations for possible alternatives the managers and HR have in handling this scenario, including the types of assistance that might be provided if workers must depart in two days.

What is strategic management, and why is it critical to the success of an organization in meeting its goals and mission globally?

Entry Into and Exit From Japan Case Study

Assignment

Tesco Entry Into and Exit From Japan
In September 2011, Tesco, the British supermarket group and the worlds third-biggest retailer, announced its exit from Japan after 8 years in the country. In the event, Tesco became the latest in a long list of foreign retailers to exit from Japan. This case study highlights why many international supermarket chains like Tesco have been unsuccessful so far in a difficult Japanese market.
Lets be honest, Japan was a short, expensive adventure for us. Jose Luis Duran, Chief Executive of Carrefour in March 2005 on its exit from Japan.
These retailers brought into Japan their business formats without adjusting for Japan. Its not as if a wholesale-club-type concept will not take off here, but there has to be some modification. Masayoshi Saotome, research director at Mitsubishi Research Institute Inc. Japan, the worlds third-biggest grocery market, remains a difficult country to make money from, as international retailers Walmart and Carrefour have found out. Walmart has not done very well in Japan with its presence since 2002 through Seiyu. When Carrefour entered Japan in 2000, it made huge claims on revolutionizing retailing in the country. However, in 2005, Carrefour swapped its Japanese assets for Tescos assets in Taiwan.
Seven & I Holdings and Aeon dominate Japan. Even British drugstore chain Boots pulled out of Japan owing to increased competition and deflation. Additionally, Japans Byzantine distribution system of closely knit web of suppliers and consumers fickle taste is the reason behind many retailers struggling.
Many analysts attribute the failure to misreading Japanese consumers mindset. However, the competitive Japanese retail market is a tough arena, not just for foreign retailers but also for local Japanese department stores. Local stores also have been struggling with price deflation and ever- increasing specialty stores.
Case Study Questions:
1. Why are the Japanese retail markets so difficult to compete in?
2. Why are Japanese customers reluctant to shop at foreign retailers versus local retailers?

Discuss some of The Ethical Challenges and Legal Risks of Being a Manager

Discussion 1: Shared Practice 1: The Ethical Challenges and Legal Risks of Being a Manager Often, people have difficulty recognizing when they may be compromising their own personal ethics.
This does not mean that they are unethical people, per se. Unconscious prejudices and unintended biases can taint a managers decisions, choices, and actions to the detriment of employers, employees, partners, and clients. Some decisions that appear to be profitable can appear short-sighted, unethical,
and unwise in the long-term. When deadlines may not be met, when the threat of failure casts a larger shadow than the prospect for success, when the thrill of reward obscures long-term consequences, or when monetary incentives can easily skew ones decisions, how can a manager be certain his or her
actions and the actions of their bosses and their employees are always ethically sound?
For this weeks Shared Practice, reflect on your own professional experiences and search reputable news sources on the internet to find an example in the news where managers and employees at a company fell short of doing the right thing. Consider the circumstances that surrounded the example
and whether it makes the person or organization bad?
With these thoughts in mind:
Post a response to the following:

Describe a case you have experienced or a story within the last three years that you have found through a reputable news source, where the manager(s) of a company did not act ethically or align their conduct with laws and regulations. Discuss the consequences that occurred, or might occur, as a
result.
Hint: Your answer should address who was affected and what happened to the reputation of the organization or the individual(s) involved in the situation.
Explain actions would you take if you knew management at your organization was not aligning its actions to the valued and policies of the organization, or worse, to the law. Discuss how would you proceed, and the concerns might you have.
Hint: In your answer, be sure to consider seriously the obstacles you might confront. Your actions might put friends and colleagues in legal trouble, your own job might be at risk, and whistle-blowers often face
severe backlash. Your answer should account for these challenges.
