How persuasive is Mary Kaldors account of new wars? Discuss with reference to 2 case studies
The Impact of Sunk, Opportunity, and Accounting Costs A wise manager is one who keeps a check on costs and makes informed decisions based upon the understanding of these costs. To prepare for this Discussion, Shared Practice: The Impact of Sunk, Opportunity, and Accounting Costs, refer to your Learning Resources for this week, research in the Walden library, and your professional experience. Then, select one of the following types of costs: sunk costs, opportunity costs, or accounting costs, and think about a scenario where this type of cost was important for informing decision making. Think about another scenario where this type of cost was important for furthering stakeholder agendas. By Day 3 Post the following: Provide an explanation of a scenario of how the type of cost you have selected (sunk, opportunity, or accounting) has impacted an organizational decision. Provide an explanation of a scenario of how the type of cost you have selected (sunk, opportunity, or accounting) may be used to further stakeholder agendas. By Day 5 Respond to two or more of your colleagues in one or more of the following ways: Comment on the scenarios presented by your colleagues and on how various costs may impact organizational decisions.
6. Other Sources: The articles you choose may have names, places, outdated words, or even currency that you may need to research to fully understand. Using any good source (Google Search, JSTOR, etc), find what you need and then add those sources to your Bibliography. Cite them as you use them in the essay as well: According to the Historic Inflation Calculator, $230.00 in 1766 is worth roughly $20,000 today.. You should now have a bunch of notes: what three period newspapers said about an event, and some modern sources that help you define what those historical newspaper articles are saying. Secondary Steps: 1. Put all the information together about the topic you chose to research. Create a new focus statement that compares the modern historical analysis to the three period newspaper articles. 2. Write an essay detailing out that comparison! Have fun with this step, youll be taking real views of people from the time of a major event in American History and then comparing it with what some academic had to say about it many decades later. 3. Format of the Essay: a. Begin writing by creating a one-paragraph introduction. This first paragraph will generally introduce: i The topic chosen, ii The newspapers used iii The Thesis (always the last sentence), which details out your findings (or focus). b. Then write roughly four body paragraphs that really get into the details of what the four sources had to say and how they compare. This part is the Evidence & Data that supports your Thesis. HOW YOU ARRANGE THIS IS UP TO YOU!! The body paragraphs can each cover one source, or each can compare/contrast multiple sources. c. Finally, a fifth paragraph, the Conclusion, wraps everything up and will tie your findings back to the Thesis noted in the introductory paragraph. 1. Cite Everything! a. Every quote, fact or idea used in the paper MUST be cited in the paper where that information is used, or it is considered stolen. It is also a good idea to cite the facts and ideas from professional sources simply to lend credibility to your writing, as you are showing where your facts came from. b. In-paper citations are fine: i. Simply name the newspaper or modern source where you got your info from and you are good for this assignment! ii. If you wish, regular in-paper citations are also fine. These are where, as you are discussing information from a source, you simply end the sentence with a (Billingsly: 22). The format of this is usually the last name of the author and a page number (if applicable). If there is no author, then the title or part of the title is fine. c. BIBLIOGRAPHY i. Format this in Chicago style (also known as Turabian). ii. No WEB URLs are required for modern Turabian Bibliographies. iii. To learn how to format Turabian Bibliographic references, simply Google the question: How to cite newspaper (or whatever) Turabian style. 1. The first several hits will be Purdue Universitys manual of style.

Compose an essay of no less than 900 words that identifies a business-government-society issue from current events. Your description of the issue must be supported by at least one reference to an article published by a news organization (e.g., New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Mercury News). select an issue that we have discussed at length in class or that has been covered in our course reading. You may not reuse your topic from Essay #1. The essay should be divided into two sections (with as many paragraphs as you wish in each section). In the first section of the essay, conduct a stakeholder analysis of the issue. As in Essay #1, identify the focal organization involved and describe the public issue. Next, identify the relevant stakeholders and briefly discuss their interests and power. If you wish, you may use this information to construct a stakeholder map, as shown on page 15 of our textbook. In the second section of the essay, pretend you are a consultant advising managers of the focal organization. Present a strategy to address the public issue. Explain how this strategy relates to your findings from the stakeholder analysis presented in the previous section. As indicated in the syllabus, you have the opportunity to receive ungraded feedback on the outline of your essay (i.e., a rough sketch of your essay; not a complete draft). To receive feedback, submit your outline via email no later than the end of the day on Sunday, December 2 (sooner is better). Submit the final draft of your essay via Canvas no later than one hour prior to the start of class on Wednesday, December 5. Grading rubric: You will be given a score out of twenty points, based on the following criteria: 5 points Topic selection: select a topic that (1) illustrates the interconnectedness of business, government, and society and (2) presents a challenge or dilemma for management. 5 points Stakeholder analysis: (1) demonstrate your understanding of the key terms and (2) use this analysis to improve your understanding of the issue facing management in your focal organization. 5 points Proposed solution: make sure that the strategy you propose (1) is a course of action to be carried out by managers of the focal organization and (2) reflects your findings from the stakeholder analysis. 2 points Spelling and grammar (i.e., writing is free of distracting spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors) 1 point Organization and reasoning (i.e., writing should be coherent and logically organized) 1 point Style (i.e., a variety of sentence structures are used, tone is effective and appropriate) 1 point Critical thinking (i.e., show evidence of careful, objective evaluation of an issue)

This assignment is outlined on p. 453 of your textbook. You may choose any problem you like and it can be as local or global as you like: a problem in your home, school, neighborhood, city, state, nation, world, etc. You must establish that the problem exists and this needs to be done by reference to external resources. You should find statistics or predictions from experts to substantiate the problem. Please refer to the OMalley and Varley essays for models of how to incorporate the ideas and/or words of others into your essay. Please review the statements concerning plagiarism and its penalties on the Scoring Rubric document under Course Documents. Remember that you do not have to solve the problem, but you should offer a creative solution to an existing problem. This is not an essay that summarizes how other people have attempted to solve the problemthis would be a research paper. Instead, this is your opportunity to think outside of the box and offer up your own creative approach. Push the limits of what is possible and propose solutions you think could work. For example, you might choose teenage pregnancy rates as your problem and you should consider ways of solving it other than the tradition methods of abstinence only education or condom distribution in public schools. Look to the root of your issue for inspiration and ask the tough questions: Why are teenage girls getting pregnant? What are they looking for/lacking in their lives? How can this void be filled in other ways? Etc. Challenge yourself and look beyond the obvious. You will be evaluated on how well you establish the problem and how creatively you approach it with your proposed solution(s). You need to keep your audience in mind and assume they might object to your proposal. Try to foresee an objection and address it in the essay–much like Varley did in his essay. Remember, your proposal need not completely solve the problem, but it should work toward viable solutions. Some problems are far too complex to solve in a six page essay, but if you can propose solutions that move toward fixing a problem, that will work, too. The best essay will offer something new and creative, rather than reinventing ideas that have already been developed. This is my favorite essay to assign and evaluate and I look forward to reading your work! For your proposal essays, you need not rely on outside research except to establish the significance of your problem. If you choose to use more outside research, please use the O’Malley and Varley essays as models for parenthetical citation in the MLA style. After each quote or paraphrase of someone else’s idea, use parentheses to indicate the source material. At the end of your document, be sure to provide a Works Cited/Bibliography list of sources as shown after O’Malley’s essay.
