COLLAPSE

This discussion requires knowledge of the material from the chapter and research from online databases or valid research sources. This is truly an excellent learning experience for all of us.

Cancer and Chronic Disease (parkinson's, alzeimers, MS, CVD, auto-immune etc) are words that scare most of us. Certainly when it comes to prevention research shows that smoking, excessive alcohol use, exposure to toxins, obesity, poor diet, lowered immunity, inflammation are all implicators. We can definitely reduce our risk with good lifestyle choices (not smoking, normal BMI, etc.) and that includes dietary choices. There is quite a bit of research and debate about which minerals are beneficial for cancer and/or disease prevention (if at all) and research changes often. You can also focus on water, this will probably lead you down a track to discussing the effects of certain pollutants in the water supply. In any case we are going to find that research and share the knowledge!

This week, for your original posting, find a scholarly based article, professional journal article, original research from grey literature (www.greylit.org) or well respected organization/association research on diet and cancer or chronic disease prevention. This could include the presence of minerals, as supplements or from food, or something related to the water supply and cancer/chronic disease prevention, special diet for cancer/chronic diseases prevention etc. It can be specific to a particular type of disease or cancer or more general. If you select a chronic disease, select one specific one. We are on the minerals chapter, so I would like to see research focused on a mineral or that includes a mineral or multiple minerals. (for example though, don't research a high protein diet as that is a macronutrient).

What to consider:

1. Two wasy to navigate sources for you: get on Google scholar: https://scholar.google.com or for non-published research you can query: www.greylit.org OR have the MC librarian direct you to the various databases you have access too (you can call MC library and they will help you if you are fully online and don't want to go in). Absolutley NO wikipedia, livestrong or webmd, Mayo type sites. You can start here for topic ideas but look further! We are looking for scholarly research. Professional organizations are also a good place as well (for instance, I am interested in digestive conditions, and utilize the American Gastroenterological Association site which links to their journal).

2. find something you are interested in and use that as the basis of your search. This could be information from chapter 8. Also remember, it does not just have to be cancer, you can select any chronic condition you are interested in and see if there is research related to vitamins, minerals or phytochemicals.

3. **In many cases on Google Scholar you can see several version of an article and often you can access a free PDF version of the full article. If NOT, call the MC library and ask for our college log on and see if we have rights to the article. They may have given this info to you but I have found most students have to ask. OR the MC library will actually retrieve the full text article for you and email you the PDF, utilize the librarians!! They love it. **do NOT pay to purchase a full text article online! Utilize the MC library!!

3. If you find an article of interest in a regular magazine or paper (print or online) like Health magazine online, New York times, Wall street journal etc. and you like it, then at the END of the article or referenced IN the article will be information on the original research where the writer got the information. You can discuss the general article in your research but also find the original scholarly article online! **include both in your original posting as attachments or links.

For your original posting:

1. in the Subject box put the topic you researched i.e. lead contaminated water and the effects of cognitive development

2. Then post your article (and include either a link or preferabley the pdf or word doc so we can see the entire article). and also provide a detailed summary of the information you read about and if you agree or disagree with the information. Also discuss why you selected this particular article. **document the source appropriately, I am not concerned if you use APA or MLA.

3.**IMPORTANT, for full points YOU are summarizing what the article/research study said in your own words and discussing merits, issues, if you agree, disagree etc. I am having you attach the article/research study you referenced instead of just a works cited info so others in the class can access the information as well. **you are not cutting and pasting the abstract!!

Cultural Differences and Ethical Standards

Should you pay the 10 percent commission? Justify your response.

The type of country in which this scenario takes place. As Hill (2009) points out there are high and low context countries. Asian, Latin American, and Middle Eastern countries are high context countries where the message must be interpreted based on not only what was said, but the person's social status, and other cultural indicators present (Hill, 2009). In low context countries, what is said is the message and there is no need for further interpretations (Hill, 2009). Therefore, it would depend on where this interaction is occurring and who is asking for the commission (status, rank, business title, etc). These commissions may be a normal part of doing business in a certain region of the country. However, there are strict laws governing bribes (Mestre, 2015) and if I suspected that this commission was a bribe for business or personal advantage, then I would not pay the commission. This would eventually have a detrimental effect on my business and go against my ethics.

Does it make a difference if your competitors routinely pay such commissions? Explain why this may or may not have an impact on your decision.

As Mestre (2015) explains, bribes are so wide spread that the fundamental alter the business landscape in certain markets. As he states, there is a, "barrage of extortionate demands for bribes in foreign markets (p.2)." Unfortunately, bribes reward the corrupt and not eh efficient which a free market should award the most competitive and efficient company (Mestre, 2015). So these types of "commissions" are frequent around the world and should be calculated in to a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis when deciding to enter a certain foreign market. A company needs to decide what risks they are willing to take to enter into a new market. Will they pay bribes furthering the decline of a market and risk large legal penalties? Or will they not pay the bribes knowing that this will make it harder for them to do business in that market?

Do you think there should be more or fewer attempt to regulate international ethics? Why? Justify your answer using the research you have done in preparation for this assignment.

The United Nations (UN) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) both have areas that monitor and regulate ethics (websites, ND). Additionally, the United States and other countries have, for example, anti-bribery laws that penalize both the bribe giver and taker (Mestre, 2015). Given all of the regulation, there is still wide spread corruption in the global marketplace (Mestre, 2015). Additionally, new technologies far exceed the pace of legislating new laws and policies (Herther, 2018). Therefore, it seems like a combination of corporate ethic policies, government intervention, and international trade agreements can help to combat unethical behavior in international business. It is important to have multiple areas of regulation as ethical behavior varies by country. For example, what Americans consider unethical may not be unethical in another country.

***Need response by Friday evening or Saturday at the latest!!! These are the details. That's all the instructions that came with the assignment. I'm not sure what else to post. I've got several responses requesting for details. This is it! I need the number portion completed where it says assignment. Please and thank you! This is my 4th time posting. No one has helped me. I followed all the 2 suggestions from the previous folks who offered pointers and still nothing. Someone please help! :(

Overview of the module requires that you run a simulation over an 18-year period, and that you analyze the outcome of the decisions you make at each decision point. In this course, we will be using the MIT Solar Power Pricing Simulation. Read the following introduction to the SunPower case: The Industry Evolution Management Flight Simulator portrays the growth and competition of firms as an industry evolves. Playing the role of chief executive for one of the firms in the industry, you make key decisions involving pricing, investment and marketing in order to succeed in the marketplace. This version of the simulator has been customized to portray the solar power industry, specifically SunPower and other manufacturers of photovoltaic panels (PVs). While historically the cost of electricity from PV panels has limited them to niche applications, there is massive potential for growth in the market if solar power could become a viable alternative to traditional sources of electricity. In the simulator, your job is to maximize SunPower's cumulative profit over a period of eighteen years. To do this, you make pricing and investment decisions each simulated time period. As a young company with a new innovation, you will start the game with a technology that you hope stays proprietary. In theory you can reap the benefits of technological advancements from the rest of the industry while spreading your advancements to them. In addition, you (or your administrator) have the option of setting several other competitive and market scenarios, including the sources and rates of learning, the strength of knowledge spillovers, entry of new competitors, and external incentives that help to drive consumers towards using solar power. You will receive periodic reports including your income statement and industry data. You need to select your strategies based on those reports, your understanding of the underlying industry structure, and your best judgment about how your competitor and customers may respond. Though the model has been carefully calibrated and tested, it is not designed to predict the future or exactly match the history and special circumstances of SunPower. Rather, it is used to illustrate competitive dynamics important not only in the photovoltaic panel industry but in other contexts you may face. Instead of merely "beating the game," focus on understanding the underlying industry structure so you can develop robust, successful strategies. *** Source: Sterman, J. (2014). Eclipsing the competition: The Solar PV industry simulation. Forio. Retrieved on November 23, 2014 from http://forio.com/simulation/solar-test/index.htm#page=market_research Be sure to review the SunPower case study, as it will provide you with background and context for the simulation: http://forio.com/simulation/solar-test/downloads/SunPower-Henderson.pdf Then, visit the simulation here: http://forio.com/simulation/solar-test/index.htm#page=market_research At the landing page, click on âPlay as an INDIVIDUAL.â Then, choose a Screen ID and click âSubmit.â Familiarize yourself with the simulation. This will require that you get an in-depth understanding of the terminology used in the simulation, as well as the pricing and cost structure of the product. As you begin this simulation (Year 1), your market share is only 2.40%. Your role with the company is to expand your companyâs market share over the multi-year period of operations â while recognizing the highest possible cumulative profit. To do this, you must make favorable pricing decisions, and you must ensure that you are improving your product while simultaneously lowering unit costs. Product improvements are determined by the % of revenue allocated to process improvement (i.e., technological advancement = lower unit costs).

**Helpful link: Should you need to brush up on financial analysis, the following presentation provides a very good overview of financial statement analysis: http://vrpacioli.loyola.edu/ac102/chapter17/chapter17.ppt

**This is the piece below I need help with! Not the paper just the number portion of this assignment.
