Parliamentary-Presidential

This assignment allows students to learn about the fundamental differences between a parliamentary system of government and a presidential system of government by comparing case examples of each system.

Select one of the case study parliamentary examples presented at the end of Chapter 14 in our textbook (either “Parliamentary Government in India,” pp. 331-334 or “Parliamentary Government in Germany,” pp. 334-336), and compare it to either the “Presidential Government in Mexico” located on pages 358-360, or use the United States as the presidential system case example. Address the following questions in your analysis of the two case study examples:

 Briefly describe the parliamentary system of the case study you have selected.

 Describe the key characteristics and functions of the country’s parliament.

 Describe some of the strengths and weaknesses of the country’s parliament. How do these strengths and

weaknesses align with the advantages and disadvantages of a parliamentary system described in our textbook?

 Briefly describe the presidential system of the case study you have selected.

 Describe the key characteristics and functions of the country’s presidential system.

PS 2000, Introduction to Political Science 2

 Describe some of the strengths and weaknesses of the country’s presidential system. How do these strengths and weaknesses align with the advantages and disadvantages of a presidential system described in our textbook?

 Conclude the case study comparison by identifying the system (parliamentary system or presidential system), which you prefer, and indicate why.

You will also need to conduct some research outside of the textbook. You are required to use at least two outside sources besides the textbook. One must be from the CSU Online Library. Your second source may be from the Internet. You are permitted to use the resources listed under “Learning Activities,” but the use of these sources is not a requirement.

Utilizing evidence-based literature and quality standards, propose an initiative that addresses your problem selected in Milestone One. If you chose a problem in

your workplace, be sure to utilize data from that healthcare organization; if you created a hypothetical healthcare organization, you may use a public domain

database with instructor permission. You will also implement your performance improvement initiative and discuss what success of the performance

improvement plan will look like after implementation. As this is a scholarly initiative, this assignment must adhere to all APA requirements and formatting, and

include peer-reviewed and evidence-based sources to support any and all claims. As you develop this final part of the assignment, consider the following

prompts to formulate your paper.

III. Performance Improvement Initiative

A. Propose an initiative that will address this problem within the department of your chosen healthcare organization. What specific relevant quality

standard will this quality initiative address?

B. Discuss the data determinants of success, as related to this initiative. In other words, what type of data will be indicative of a quality outcome?

IV. Implementation of the Plan in the Organization

A. What interdepartmental communication channels will be used for plan implementation?

B. What manner of data interpretation will be used to communicate the findings within the organization?

C. If this initiative was implemented, what do you believe would be the hypothetical effect(s) on patient care outcomes?

How will health

information systems support those improvements in patient care?

Work with your mock PLC group to come up with a supported argument based on personal experiences and scholarly literature in which you:

Discuss how you could incorporate and implement the use of technology to create a blended professional learning community across districts within your state to share knowledge with fellow faculty on how a deeper understanding of subject matter can actually enhance problem solving, critical thinking, and other 21st-century skills.
Discuss how creating a professional learning community can increase the ways teachers seize opportunities for integrating 21st-century skills, tools and teaching strategies into their classroom practice — and help them identify what activities they can replace or de-emphasize.

Sports Business Paper

Research a sport business organization or individual (see sample list) and write a report that summarizes the organization’s products, services, major accomplishments, and other relevant information in relation to the sport industry.

In the next phase, ruminate on what you learned in your interview—especially anything that helped you to gain a deeper insight into the topics you studied in the course—and write a research and reflection paper in which you draw upon learning shared with your instructor and colleagues, your individual learning, and knowledge you have gained from the interview to demonstrate a more in-depth understanding of the foundational principles of management. In your paper, go beyond recitation of memorized facts or regurgitation of information; strive to synthesize the most important topics of management (i.e., leadership, personality, motivation, decision-making, communication, and the importance of good management to yourself and to society) into a hybrid research and reflection paper.

Your paper should integrate responses to each of the following questions in a well-organized and coherent paper:

What leadership precepts did your interviewee impart to you (or what can you glean on the topic as a result of your interview), and how do those dovetail with one or more of the modern theories of leadership?
How do the personalities of workers, colleagues, managers, and subordinates impact your performance in, and experience of, the workplace? How do they interact with one or more leadership models to create the most effective work environment?
In light of your interview, the leadership model(s) you’ve discussed, and your own personality, what one or two tenets of motivation theory have you taken away from the course?
How do your understandings of motivation theories impact your conceptions of the best practices when it comes to making decisions and communicating at work?
Based on your interview and on learning from this course, what does it take to be an effective employee, a successful manager, and an exemplary citizen of society?

Research a recent article from a recognized professional journal or government publication regarding environmental issues associated with global security.

Write a 1,400- to 1,750-word paper discussing the effects of excessive population/under-population, depletion of natural resources, or environmental impacts.

Consider how neighboring countries are affected, as well as emergent issues like new arctic shipping routes, or the international interest in Africa’s natural resources.

Analyze the impact of global environmental policy associated with these issues. Use specific countries as examples.

Module 4 introduces online presence for business and information security policies. E-commerce can result in a radical change in the manner business operate, but it needs to be integrated with the rest of the business. Some of the integration includes, planning, competition of resources, and interfaces to other internal systems. Sometimes companies join an alliance or consortium of companies to explore E-commerce implementation. Most electronic payment systems know who the buyers are, and it is therefore necessary to protect their identity. Other private issues may involve tracking of Internet user activities through cookies and in-house monitoring of web services.

Everyday sales items purchased online have almost doubled between the year 2006 and 2010 and it is expected that these figures will keep doubling by 2020. A few years back, E-commerce was not expected to be what is now. It is now clear that all businesses need to provide online services sooner or later to remain in the market. The same is true for mobile commerce.

In order to identify what businesses need to do to start their online presence, go over the background readings and any other elective readings you find useful. When you have read the articles listed in the background material and any other relevant reading you could find, imagine that you want take advantage of the Internet and communication technologies for your business. These include the tools, business strategies, and information security needed to orderly implement electronic and mobile commerce.

In addition, E-policies typically include: ethical computer use policy, information privacy policy, acceptable use policy, email privacy policy, Internet use policy, and anti-spam policy.
