New Jersey Kills Hudson River Tunnel Project Homework Help

/in /by

Activity 14- Exe Project

Case Study 14.1—New Jersey Kills Hudson River Tunnel Project This case illustrates the challenges in making an early termination decision.  Often, particularly in the case of public projects, there is a real difficulty in stopping a project once it has gotten “on the books.”  As a result, projects with huge cost overruns, like Boston’s “Big Dig” are allowed to continue almost indefinitely.  New Jersey Governor Chris Christie made a tough call in deciding to cancel the Hudson River Tunnel project because he was given a number of rosy projections that did not match the actual costs incurred to that date.  This is a great case to let students pick sides: should Christie have cancelled the project or not? There are arguments to be made that the need was strong (although others could argue that the need was over-sold).  On the other hand, the history of the project to date and the uncertainty about future federal funding made it a real gamble, especially during a time of economic recession.Questions

  1. How would you respond to the argument that it is impossible to judge how successful a project like this one would have been unless you actually do it?
  2. Take a position, either pro or con, on Christie’s decision to kill the ARC. Develop arguments to support your point of view.
  3. In your opinion, how clearly must a large infrastructure project like ARC have determined its need, costs, and so forth before being approved?  If the criteria are too stringent, what is the implication for future projects of this type?  Would any ever be built?

· Design employees’ satisfaction & Retention survey.

· Design and apply strategies for motivating employees in the Workplace

· Explain how build culture of Employee engagement and participation

Instructions:

· This assignment is to be done individually. Carefully read the scenario below and write a 1,800-2,000 -word research report, In MS Word, double spaced, 12-point font, APA standards.

· Your case analysis must include a minimum of 12 external academic resources.

Case Scenario:

· Stacey is the vice president of HR at ‘ITFast’, a midsized IT sector company. She has called for an urgent meeting of HR department staff as nearly 100 employees had given the notice to leave the company in recent weeks.

· “This is a long list of escapees….we’re losing them faster than your people can bring them in,” she said, turning to John, the head of recruiting. “Our turnover rate is up to 35%.”

· “We are growing — in revenue, profitability, and reputation, I just don’t understand why people are leaving us fast” said Stacey.

· “I need to present these numbers to Mr. Richard Leo (CEO) at the end of the week, and I can’t do that without a theory on what’s happening and a solution to propose. That’s why I called this meeting,” said Stacey.

· “This is even surprising given that our work culture is our biggest selling point. We don’t treat our employees just as a cog in the machine, and our company and its managers — Richard included — will listen to them. That everyone at ‘ITFast’ matters.”

Assignment Instructions:

Stacey has hired you as their HR consultant to create and roll out an employee satisfaction survey that will help her uncover the reasons behind the high employees’ turnover and then based on the survey results, help her put new employees’ engagement programs and policies in place.

· You can make any appropriate assumptions about the survey results that will help you complete your research and assignment.

Data Analysis Project Homework Help

/in /by

All of the peer-reviewed articles for this assignment used publicly available data. Each group will be responsible for finding and acquiring the publicly available data as a necessary step in the data analysis project, providing real-world data acquisition experience to the group. Using Excel, each group should first examine the data to ensure an understanding of the data.  This is a vital step since mistakes can be easily made if you don’t understand the foundations and limitations of your dataset. Each group should then seek to go beyond what was initially accomplished by the original article by conducting their own data analysis based upon sound theory. This can include using additional data and alternative estimation methods, among other possibilities. Students will submit the Excel file used, including the data, graphs, and analysis output. Students may use another statistical software package if desired (e.g. SAS, STATA, SPSS), but must still submit all files.

Please submit you PowerPoint files with audio embedded here.  The presentations should be a max of 20 minutes in duration, and should only be in PowerPoint format

Option 1

Problem: Adapted from I.11-66 in the textbook.

Sonny Corporation has never been audited before the current year. An audit is now needed by a CPA because the company is expanding rapidly and plans to issue stock to the public. A CPA firm has been doing preliminary evaluations of the Sonny Corporation’s accounts and records. One major problem involves the valuation of inventory under GAAP. Sonny Corporation has been valuing its inventory under the cost method and no write-downs have been made for obsolescence. A review of the inventory indicates that obsolescence and excess spare parts in the inventory are two major violations of Accounting Periods and Methods. The CPA states that for GAAP the company will be required to write down its inventory by 25% of its stated amount, or $100,000, and charge this amount against net income from operations for the current period. Otherwise, an unqualified (i.e., a “clean opinion”) will not be rendered. The company controller asks your advice regarding the tax consequences from the obsolescence and spare parts inventory write-downs for the current year and the procedures for changing to the lower-of-cost-or-market (LCM) method for tax purposes. Sonny Corporation uses a calendar year for both book and tax purposes, and the date of your contact with the company is December 1 of the current year.

A partial list of research sources includes:

  • 446 and 471
  • Secs. 1.446-1(e)(3), 1.471-2 and 1.471-4
  • American Liberty Pipe Line Co. v. CIR, 32 AFTR 1099, 44-2 USTC ¶9408 (5th Cir., 1944)
  • Thor Power Tool Co. v. CIR, 43 AFTR 2d 79-362,79-1 USTC ¶9139 (USSC, 1979)

Reflection on Cultural Diversity

 

Cultural diversity is all about celebrating the uniqueness of each person.  It is about respecting the differences between us and exploring ways to unite rather than divide.  It is not about separating ourselves to ‘our’ specific group.  It is about understanding those differences link us to a greater life experience–one that celebrates everyone, fights for social justice, and aims to wipe out the stereotypes that harm and create division.  Look at the image above and respond to the following:

  • From your viewpoint after reaching the end of this course, why is this an important message to share?
  • In what ways does this image create a sense of unity?  In what ways does it create a sense of community?
  • We strive for cultural diversity within our neighborhoods, our towns and cities, and our workplaces.  In what areas are we still lacking?  Give examples from your own life experience to support your position.
  • In what ways has your understanding of stereotype changed since the beginning of this course?

 

 Art and Cultural Diversity

 

You have learned a great deal about how art can be used to educate others on various stereotypes and situations where othering have flourished.  Reflect on how this growing awareness has changed your viewpoint on cultural diversity.  Locate three images that represent how you see your local community, your regional community, and the world.   Next, click on the word “Text” and describe how your viewpoint has changed over the course of the semester. What new awareness has opened up to you?  What areas of social justice to you now understand at a deeper level?

Remember to reference the image on the References page.

Music and Cultural Diversity

 

Music is universal.  Every language, every culture, every nation is represented in a song known as the National Anthem.  Listen to the anthem representing America and the story it tells of never losing hope that our national flag will continue to fly despite war or hardship.

 

Next, go to YouTube and find a national anthem from another country.  It could be a country you have a direct connection with, one that have seen in the news, or one you just find interesting.  If it is a non-English speaking country, please select a version that includes the English translation.

 

Listen to the anthem multiple times so that you can best understand the story the anthem is telling. Once you select your video, share the URL in the textbox below. Be sure to reference the video on the References page.

 

 

Address the following:

 

  1. Explain why you chose this video and in what ways does this nation differ from America?
  2. Compare the two anthems in terms of tone and tempo. Is one faster than the other or have a stronger beat?  How does this add to the anthem’s message?
  3. Compare and contrast the two anthems in terms of unity. How do the stories reflected in the lyrics promote the same things?  How are they different?
  4. In a world moving away from the idea of ‘separate’ nations, is the role of the national anthem still relevant? Defend your position.

Cultural Diversity and Literature

The story below reveals the reality that sometimes othering or sexism or other forms of social injustice cause significant damage in a person’s life.

 

Lin’s Story

 

I remember the sting that day brought to my soul.  A burning kind of sting that is still sore today.  It was early April and my 9th grade class was about to line up to head to the auditorium.  Awards day was a big deal to everyone but me.  For me it meant more teasing, more rolling eyed glances, more not-belonging.

I had a gift my grandma always said.  Not all girls could do what I do with numbers and equations.  By 9th grade I could do calculus and differential equations in my sleep.  I loved how things fit in mathematics.  Every symbol, every integer had a role to play and everything worked together in unison to reach a final answer.  If only people worked together this way.

That day started with the usual question from one of the mean kids. ‘Hey.  When are you moving back to Asia, Math-brat?’  That was easier to shrug off than the constant teasing that I was a freak of nature for doing ‘boy math.’

I took my seat in the auditorium ignoring the constant kicking against the back of my chair and the barrage of teasing mixed with insults coming at me from every angle.  I remember wishing I wasn’t smart and hoping my gift would go away.  I should have felt proud when Mrs. Jackson, our principal, announced I was the winner of the Achiever in Mathematics award, but it didn’t feel like winning.  I walked across the stage seeing the angry stares coming from the mean kids.  I knew I would never belong as long as I did math.

It was an easy choice really.  When I stopped working equations, I had time to hang out and soon the mean kids weren’t so mean anymore.  I spent my time talking about guys and learning how to use make up.  Who needs math anyway?

 

In the textbox below address the following questions:

 

  1. What stereotypes (there is more than one) do you see demonstrated in this story? How did these connect to your own life experience?  Could you relate to Lin’s situation in some direct way?
  2. Othering can be life altering. Have you ever done something, or in Lin’s case, stopped doing something due to peer pressure?  Did you regret that decision?

 

Reflections

 

This week you reflected on the key concepts and objectives of this course.   Please address the following to complete your Unit 7 template.

  1. Revisit Lin’s story and think about what her life might have been had she continued her pursuit of mathematics.  Create a new story for Lin that describes what her future might have been.  Did she go to college?  Did she discover some new technology that brought peace and prosperity to the world?

 

  1. Think about the negative impact of stereotypes or othering in your own life experience and address the following:
  • What things have you avoided to avoid not belonging?
  • What talents or opportunities have you turned aside to avoid being stereotyped?
  • In what ways would you like to see your sense of empowerment restored?
