mba 6525 case study intel undermining the conflict minerals industry

/in /by

You are the Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer of ElManCo – a large electronics manufacturer (in an entirely different sector from Intel) . The CEO has asked you for a memo that analyzes the ethical considerations relating to sourcing necessary minerals from the Democratic Republic of Congo, along with your recommendation of an appropriate, ethical course of action for ElManCo’s sourcing of conflict minerals. Specifically, the CEO wants to know: 1) what are the pros and cons are of using human rights and social issues in order to gain a competitive advantage in an industry in which these issues apply to all industry participants; 2) whether the company, like Intel, should engage with competitors on the conflict minerals issue or whether it should attempt to gain competitive advantage over other industry participants/competitors by getting a head start in supply chain transparency and auditing; and 3) whether the company should source minerals exclusively outside the DRC.

The memo should be a Microsoft Word document and no longer than 4 single-spaced pages. It should begin with a one-paragraph executive summary of your analysis and recommendation(s), followed by your complete analysis and recommendation(s). Please cite the sources that you use (a citation page does not count toward the length). You can find memorandum templates in Microsoft Word (but be sure to use one that includes the “Date” and “Subject”/”RE:” line in the memo header).

Focus on the Intel Case Study document. The other documents are to provide support.

to catch a predator 1

/in /by

The theme of this discussion will be the question of whether the police should take proactive steps to identify potential criminals before a crime is actually committed. Post your opinion of the following issues, and support your comments with research and data:

As the Internet became common in American households, sexual predators took advantage of this method of instant communication. Of particular concern is the ability of predators to have access to children.

Law enforcement agencies now attempt to locate predators by posing as children in Internet chat rooms and through social media. In fact, for several years, the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) program Dateline ran a series called “To Catch a Predator,” in which adult volunteers would enter Internet chat rooms as “bait” for sexual predators seeking victims. These volunteers would agree to a live encounter if propositioned, at which point the predator would be exposed on television and arrested.

  • Are efforts like To Catch a Predator and the law enforcement “bait” operations necessary? Are they fair? Some decry these efforts as entrapment–are they? Be sure to find the actual definition of entrapment in order to be able to discuss this.

Another current issue concerns profiling. There have been instances where law enforcement officials have singled out persons of particular races or ethnicities for questioning.

  • Do you think the need for using profiling to apprehend criminals outweighs the potential for discrimination?

economic methodology paper

/in /by

Write your methodology section. This will include (and you will be graded on)

  1. Exactly what method you are using to test your question. If you are not using econometrics, this will include what types of graphs/data you will look at/display and how in order to support your thesis. Additionally, it will include your proposed or finished modelling of your topic.What I’m wanting to see here is the economic model (graph, consumer’s problem, etc) that your topic is best modelled by. For example, if you’re writing a non-econometric paper on how the Corona virus is going to destroy our economy, you may diplay an aggregate supply and demand graph from macroeconomics and discuss why the aggregate demand curve is shifting down and what effect that should have on prices, quantity, and overall, welfare.
  2. Laying out your predictions if you’re doing an econometric analysis or what the model says should happen. If you’re estimating an OLS equation investigating the corona virus’s effect on unemployment of wage-hour workers, you may state here that you expect the coefficient on the CA lockdown dummy (1 if on lockdown 0 otherwise) to be positive (meaning more unemployement). If you’re using the aggregate supply and demand model to asses the situation, you would work through all the changes in the economy and explain them like a textbook would without plagiarising the textbook.

Please follow this 2 requirement, the graphs you design must support my thesis and please do explain.

4 questions about the story of prometheus

/in /by

The Story of Prometheus

The full title of Frankenstein is Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus. It would be worth knowing a little bit about who Prometheus is and why Frankenstein is a modern version of him. So, who is he? (Besides a Titan who gets to be chained to a mountain having his liver pecked at by an eagle for years.)

I will say that Prometheus was a Titan from Greek Mythology who played an important role in the development of the Human Race. I’ll give you a few sites to search (feel free to find others) and you’re going to answer the questions below:

theoi.com

Summary of Greek Creation Myth

About.com

Wikipedia

1. What role did Prometheus play in the creation of humans?

2. What did he do that angered Zeus enough to punish him?

3. What other characters can you think of that Prometheus might be compared to? Demonstrate why you think they are similar. (There are many, but if you need a hint, one of them is Jesus.)

4. Do you think that human beings would’ve been okay on their own if he had not interfered? Support your conclusion.
