Respond to discussion post:Zayne DavenportArbitration is a form of alternative dispute resolution that is often used as an alternative to litigation in court. It is a process where two private parties agree to submit their dispute to one or more impartial individuals, known as arbitrators, for a final and binding resolution. The decision reached by the arbitrator is known as an “award (Gordon, 2016). The process of arbitration is like a trial in many ways, but it is often quicker, less formal, and less expensive. During the arbitration, both parties present evidence and make arguments to the arbitrator in support of their position. The arbitrator then decides based on the evidence and arguments presented, and this decision is binding on both parties (Gordon, 2016).While arbitration has no set requirements, there are several common organizations used by many throughout the world who have a common set of rules of engagement. For international disputes, a popular arbitration option is the ICC, or the International Chamber of Commerce and for domestic disputes, the American Arbitration Association, or AAA (Gordon, 2016). Primarily, during the construction of the contract between two parties, the specifics of arbitration are outlined. These specifics can include specific rules, location, language, and the number of arbitrators (Gordon, 2016). The advantages of arbitration very well could be a great idea for legal proceedings for Colossal management.One of the key benefits of arbitration is that it allows parties to have more control over the outcome of their dispute. This is because the arbitrator is chosen by the parties, and the rules of arbitration can be tailored to the specific needs of the dispute. Therefore, Colossal could chose an arbitrator that has a background in a specific law or particular field that benefit Colossal if the corporation has to debate a case. This is also beneficial as the arbitrator chosen could easily be geographically separated from either part, such as the ICC in Paris, France. In doing so, the unbiased arbitrator would not have ties or sway in favor of a party in another country, unlike a court system based in the partys home country (WIPO, n.d.).Another benefit for Colossal is that arbitration is often faster and less expensive than litigating in court. This is because the process of arbitration is less formal, and the parties do not have to go through the same extensive discovery process that is often required in a court case. Additionally, arbitrators can make decisions more quickly than a court, as they do not have the same backlog of cases that a court often has (Pimentel, 2022).Thirdly, the benefit of enforceability is greatly beneficial to Colossal, especially when dealing in international contracts. According to Gordon, most of the worlds trading nations have agreed to have their courts enforce arbitral awards issued in foreign nations (2016). This means the awards given by the arbitrator are almost absolute, and enforceable in any country that has signed the Convention on the Enforcement of Arbitral Awards, as only under rare circumstances are rewards overruled in a court of law.This absolute does however pose a disadvantage. Since the decision of the arbitrator is final and binding, and there is limited opportunity for appeal. This means that if the parties are dissatisfied with the award, they may have no recourse to have the decision reviewed or overturned. However, this slight disadvantage is drastically outweighed by the advantages of efficiency, enforceability, and controllability arbitration offers.In conclusion, the advantages of efficiency, enforceability, and controllability arbitration offers as well as having unbiased judgment with world-wide parties makes arbitration a grand idea for Colossal Corporation. Going forward, the VP should enforce all new contracts, domestic and international, have the particulars of arbitration outlined within them.
PROCESS INNOVATION In Module 3, you will focus on the main section Theories, Models, and Conceptual Framework. The first task is to review the Theories and Models you have chosen to use and also review your Research Questions as well as the overall Research Problem. Revise these elements of this main section as necessary. Make sure that your theories and models are a good fit to for finding answers to your research questions. Also consider the business knowledge domain in which the research problem is situated. Does the problem pertain to marketing, operations, logistics, IT, HR, management, leadership, decision making, or other domain of knowledge? Do your theories and models relate to this domain? Will the theories and models provide a basis for developing your research instruments (questionnaires, interviews, etc.) to collect data that will provide answers to the research questions with good analysis?Review and update your conceptual framework, which is an expansion of the concepts that follow from the theories and models, the research problem, and the research questions. What do we mean by conceptual framework, and more importantly, what do we mean by concept? Generally, the term concept refers to an idea about a specific thing which can be either concrete (tangible) or intangible. This thing has a definition which provides the characteristics that make it the thing. Ball is a tangible concept. Balls exist physically. And we can define what a ball is, that is, a (usually) spherical object used for play and in sports and in some industrial applications. Note there are many kinds of balls and each of these kinds has a more specific definition, such as baseball, football, tennis ball, ball bearings, etc. Leadership is an intangible concept. It is not a thing that can be held or touched. We can observe behavior of people and conclude that the behavior demonstrates leadership or not. Note there are different kinds of leadership (e.g., transformative, translational, military, permissive, etc.).In the context of DSP research, how are concepts determined and how are they used to create a conceptual framework? The concepts for the DSP, which are identified in Chapter 1, are expanded in Chapter 2. These concepts are connected to the theories and models, and the research questions. What are the ideas (concepts) that are relevant to the research problem and questions and the theories? One way is to start with the theories and determine the key or major ideas, concepts, variables, and terms that are part of the theory or model. Look at the research questions and consider some possible answers. Of course, you will find the actual answers from the data you collect and analyze. But by projecting some possible answers you can find additional concepts or ideas that are relevant to the research. There are several ways to create the framework, but the simplest and most practical is a list or taxonomy of the concepts. These concepts can become a section or sub-section headings in Chapter 2.Once you have identified some key concepts, you can use these as search terms to find literaturethat is, research papers, articles, websites, books, etc.that provide discussion of previous research, findings, key results, definitions, and other information. As you review these works of literature, look for additional concepts that are related. Add these additional concepts to your taxonomy and continue to search.Searching for literature can be a tedious process. With the availability of most of the literature via electronic means (using the internet) and most materials available for downloading, you will find a large number of possible items, and many of them may not be useful. You can narrow down the search by using more specific search terms. And you can scan the results by reviewing the abstract. When you find an article in the library, it is possible to flag that item to save it. And when you are done with a session, you can have those flagged items sent to you in an email with the reference information included.However, you should take some time to review those items in more detail to determine if they are relevant and note how they are relevant to your own research. If the literature item is a research paper, note the kind of research, and what the hypotheses or research questions were. How was the data collected and analyzed and what were the key findings? Also, what were recommendations for future research and was there anything that was missing or incomplete?When you find literature that is relevant and pertains to one of the concepts in the outline, add it to the Lit Review Annotated Outline using APA format along with a notation about how each item is relevant to your review.In the Progress Report section of the Lit Review Outline under SLP 3 Theories, Models, and Conceptual Framework, write a paragraph that discusses your search efforts, problems, and successes, and indicate what you think you still need to do for this section. Include a paragraph that provides an introductory review of one of the literature items from this main section.Progress ReportSLP 3 Theories, Models, and Conceptual Framework progress[paragraph discussing progress][introduction paragraph of one article]When you have found a sufficient amount of literature and updated the Lit Review Outline document including the Progress section, upload it to the SLP3 Dropbox.Choose one, two, or three:O’Neill, P., Sohal, A.

Science in the Media There is nothing like reading a good book or watching a great movie for a little escapism and entertainment. With all of the television channels available and easy access to the internet, you can watch just about anything you want at any time. Earlier in the course you discussed the science involved with technology, but in this Assignment, you will turn the tables and delve into how the media portrays science.How does a pop culture portrayal of science and scientists impact the average persons view of what science is and how research is conducted? Can what is presented by the media affect how the general public views a particular research field? What might the long-term impacts of such a depiction be? These are just a few questions that you will reflect upon in this Assignment.For the Unit 9 Assignment, you will complete an APA style reflective essay to address the following questions:
PAPER IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING….#2 The global marketplace is a competitive environment; however, managers can find methods to utilize and leverage to improve organizational performance. Throughout your academic program of study, you have looked at business leaders who work to manage product or service offerings via a first-to-market strategy and also via a late-mover approach to the marketplace. You have examined barriers to entry, challenges with operating in a global business environment, opportunities, cultural considerations, and empowering employees to work as decision makers. Important considerations and topics throughout your coursework have also centered on organizational structure, customer service, and leveraging technology advancements to improve business performance. For this activity, please consider a few of these business, management, and social considerations to develop the concept of a new business interest to you, that you might create someday, and discuss how you might organize the company, potential target markets, how products might be introduced to the business environment, cultural considerations, and the importance of sustainability. You will need to do an in-depth literary search on the topic in order to create a fully developed response.
Scenario Its the moment of truth: your opportunity to demonstrate why your new product or service is worth funding. You have done the research and know that the funding you seek can be a game changer for the company. Not only will it produce revenue and profitability, but more importantly, it will strategically set the company apart from its competition.You just have to convince senior management.In preparation, you have created a checklist for yourself to use in compiling information that includes research, feasibility of the idea via the BMC, scope of project (timeline included), project risk mitigation, DEI, CSR, and 24-month pro forma.You know that anything can happen in a funding pitch. With this in mind, you are prepared to answer questions that encompass all aspects of the project.Create a pitch for funding. In this pitch, you will have to convince senior management to greenlight the new product or service. Aspects of the pitch that must be addressed:
Can you help me understand this Health & Medical question? Why there are diffrent codes for outpatient and inpatient? describe the differences between both codes?
For this assignment you should watch a movie, or re-watch a movie you remember seeing in the past. In any number of movies I can think of there is a leader who, by articulating a vision and a challenge to others to see it happen, convinces followers to join them in trying to achieve something. The leader then organizes the activities and motivates followers to help the entire organization achieve the vision. There are plenty of sports movies (e.g., Coach Carter, Remember the Titans), action movies (Oceans 11, The Italian Job), and animated movies (e.g., Toy Story, A Bugs Life), where some leader(s) create a compelling vision for others to follow and lead others to success. In the paper, take 500-750 words to describe the basic plot of the movie (in your own words!). Then, for the rest of the paper, using some of the terms and ideas described in the chapters, explain how the leader(s) contributed to success. Be sure to describe specific scenes in the movie (cite these using the time elapsed since the start of the movie, e.g., 52-53 minutes), and cite specfic pages of the textbook chapters that refer to the concepts in the book that help explain the success of the leader(s). Feel free to use other sources of information to further understand and describe theories. For example, the Path-Goal Theory may be a very powerful concept for understanding a particular leader’s success, but since this is covered in less than one page in the text book, it may be necessary to access a few more sources to fully apply this theory.This paper should be around 1800-2500 words, with proper referencing of all sources used. I recommend using the APA format for the paper and references, although I am not a stickler for following every detail of the official formating guidelines. The library or the writing center can provide assistance if you have any questions. There are also a number of sources of information regarding this standard, including
