Can anyone help me out! I have been so busy and this is due sooner then I thought...

1. Consider your future economic interest into the future. I want you to do you individual research with at least 2 references provided in your post. You should already have a reasonable foundation on the past and current nature of your choice from experience, courses, other study, etc. For the research you do, I want it focused on what major changes may be expected in the next decade. In other words, if you don't anticipate and get ahead of the curve, you would be left behind. I especially want you to contrast the differences between what is and what will be for us. Assume we know very little about the context in which you are working. Your post should be the equivalent of 1-2 double-spaced pages.

The subject is African Economy, and please write three sources as in the question below:

Q. Do some research online and present a basic summary of the economy of one of: Kenya, South Africa, Ghana, or Nigeria. Your summary should give a basic description of the overall economy (let's see what you remember as important from your Macroeconomics courses!) as well as a brief description and evaluation of your sources.

For those who might like a little guidance on the structure for task above, perhaps do the following:

- Identify five important economic facts about the country you have chosen. (Hint: GDP should be there, and some discussion of industries and labor would be good.)

- Use at least three reliable sources. Give me the details on each source, and for each tell me why you think it is trustworthy. You need not worry about citation format (use MLA or APA if you want to do it "right" but I won't care as long as I can find it). When sources disagree, explain why you chose the information you chose. (For instance, if two sources give two different GDP values, why did you go with what you did?)

Q. Choose three of the sections from Jerven chapter 1 -- Correlation is not causation (p.15), Garbage in, garbage out (p.16), Aid dependency (p. 33), Deficient public services (p. 35), Bad policies (p. 36) -- and for each section you choose, paraphrase the author's main argument in two to three sentences. What is the most important takeaway from each section? What evidence is given?

***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).

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

**Assignment Run the simulation, entering the following data into the simulation for each of four decision points (NOTE: Do not change the assumptions displayed in the âSettingsâ tab): 1) Decision 1: For Years 2008-2012

a) Pricing â Manual

b) Module Price - $0.15

c) Revenue to Process Improvement â 5%

d) Years to Advance â 5 years

2) Decision 2: For Years 2013-2017

a) Pricing â Manual

b) Module Price - $0.13

c) Revenue to Process Improvement â 5%

d) Years to Advance â 5 years 3) Decision

3: For Years 2018-2022

a) Pricing â Manual

b) Module Price - $0.11

c) Revenue to Process Improvement â 5%

d) Years to Advance â 5 years

4) Decision 4: For Years 2023-2025

a) Pricing â Manual

b) Module Price - $0.09

c) Revenue to Process Improvement â 5%

d) Years to Advance â To end At each of the four

(4) decision points above, you are required to analyze the impact of your Module Price on market share and total profits. You are also required to determine how process improvements reduce unit costs over time.
