We love bananas!!!! You are a member of a World Trade Organization task force that is reviewing the recent banana conflict between the United States and the European Union. The European Union and the United States recently ended a nine-year battle over trade in bananas. The European Union was giving preferential treatment to banana exporters from Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific island nations. But the United States challenged what it saw as unfair trading practices, and the World Trade Organization agreed. Large global fruit companies such as Dole, Chiquita, and Del Monte—which alone account for nearly two-thirds of the fruit traded worldwide—supported the U.S. action. The European Union argued it was trying to support struggling economies, for which bananas make up a large portion of their income. In a two page paper, please respond to the following questions
Should international trade be left to private enterprise only, or should governments openly manage it to benefit poorer nations? Would you have argued on behalf of the United States or the European Union? Explain? What are the pros and cons of each side’s arguments?

Memo 1: Positive Message Assignment: As the Human Resources Manager at XYZ Industries, Inc., it is your pleasure to announce the addition of annual performance-based bonuses for mid-level managers and above. These bonuses will require annual performance reviews to discern the amount of the bonus. Draft a memo explaining this scenario to this specific group of employees.
Format: Memo formatting can be found on page 167-168, 590 in your book. The format of your memo tells your employees a lot about your sensitivity and professionalism. Since you do not want to upset any employees unnecessarily, you should also be conscious of your wording when explaining culturally-sensitive subjects. Pay particular attention to your memo’s margins, line spacing, font type and size, and placement of memo parts such as the addressees, subject line, and body. • Address the memo to all mid-level managers and above at your company. Recommended Organization
Header: Begin your memo with the four standard memo heads (Date, To, From, Subject).
Body/Discussion: In the first paragraph of the body, start off with the good news. Memos do not begin with greetings or salutations. Explain what factors could have contributed to this new development (i.e. increased sales, raising stock price, etc.) and why the decision was made to reward employees with the surplus funds.
The second paragraph is where you explain the new process that the employees can expect. Outline the way that reviews will be handled, and by whom. Feel free to be creative (yet somewhat realistic) when outlining how the performance scores will translate into bonuses (i.e. tier system, seniority, contribution value). In the third paragraph, be sure to validate any anticipated concerns employees may have about this adjustment. Explain the greater benefit in the long-term this decision provides and conclude your memo by indicating how the reader may contact you if he/she has any questions. In general, this section should be “short & sweet,” making sure that the employees know what is expected of them.

5 Key Elements of Great Business Proposals-Outline If you need to write a business proposal to win a bid or pitch your business to a potential client or business partner, you will need to know what should be addressed and how. Make sure your proposal stands out by incorporating the following five elements:
Solutions: After you have written a lead paragraph on the company's needs and problems, follow up with a solid presentation of how your business can provide solutions. The key here is to promote solutions you can deliver. Benefits: All winning business proposals clearly outline the benefits of doing business with you. If your small business can offer complete confidentiality and meet tight deadlines, for instance, state it clearly in your benefits section. Credibility: This is often the overlooked portion of a business proposal, but all winning proposals glow with credibility. If you have worked with clients in the same field or have an award-winning business, then case studies, or third-party endorsements will build credibility. Samples: A business proposal with samples and evidence of your ability to deliver is vital to gaining the winning bid. A small sample of your work can show your ability to do the job. Targeted Language: A winning business proposal is all about communication. Speak in a language spoken by your intended audience. If the proposals are from an engineering background or financial department, use language they would understand.

BADM 605: Term Paper Guidelines for Spring Semester, 2020
TERM PAPER ASSIGNMENT: You must write an essay that is tied to some topic that we will be reading about and discussing over the course of the semester.
While your paper must be tied to the specific issues of the course, you will have some latitude in how you approach this assignment. One possibility would, of course, be for you to elaborate some more on the details of an issue that we focus on directly. Or, if you wish, you could focus on a related current issue that has been in the news and then compare, contrast or discuss that specific issue in the context of the arguments made in the readings for the course. Another possibility would be for you to elaborate further on an issue that arises in the discussion forum in the context of the discussion we will be having over the semester. In summary, the basic idea is for you to write on some specific aspect of one of the issues at hand that you believe calls for further scrutiny.
It is usually works best if you write a relatively narrow paper that focuses on a specific issue or question. The term paper is not meant to be a book review; it is meant for you to explore and follow up on some specific issue that is of particular interest to you.
BASIC FORMAT: Your term paper should have a title that is consistent with the focus and content of the paper. The title should be on a cover page with your name identifying you as the author of the paper below the title.
It is ok to add diagrams and/or photographs to the paper as long as these are specifically intended to support or illustrate the points of the paper, but otherwise there should not be any illustrations of kind in the paper or on the cover page.
You should use page numbers, without any running heads throughout the paper. The entire paper must be written using the same basic font (for example: Cambria, Times New Roman, Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, Bookman, etc.). You may make the title bold and/or larger than the rest of the paper, and you can also underline and use italics, or color, etc., but otherwise you should not switch fonts as you write the paper.
The paper must be submitted as a word file that is uploaded in Canvas and I will be grading it in its electronic format, so margins and line spacing are not all that critical. That said, using margins around an inch or so, along with single spacing, works well.
TERM PAPER SUBMISSION AND DEADLINES: Your paper must be submitted by uploading it as a turnitin.com assignment in Canvas. The deadline for submitting the paper is April 26th. Any paper submitted after that deadline will lose 20 points (or 20% of the maximum grade) for each day that it is late. Thus, by May 1st, or 5 days after the submission deadline, the paper will no longer be worth any points so at that time the paper submission window will be closed.
ORIGINALITY: The paper must be your own original work and it must be written specifically for this class (this means no recycling of old papers written for other classes). The paper will be checked for originality using turnitin.com. Any citation omissions will affect your paper grade, but significantly plagiarized papers will receive a grade of zero, with no exceptions and with no do-overs.
LENGTH: While the length of your paper must of course depend on your chosen topic, your papers should be at least 2000 words exclusive of the title page, any direct quotes, and references.
SPELLING AND GRAMMAR: You should double check the grammar and the spelling of the paper before you submit it. Keep in mind that the quality of your writing (i.e., your phrasing, punctuation, grammar and spelling) will count for at least 25 points of the total 100 maximum points of the grade for your paper.
CITATIONS & CITATION STYLE: You must cite all your sources and you must cite these sources using one of the following styles: MLA, APA, Harvard, Chicago, or Turabian. While you are free to select any of these citation styles, you must follow whichever style you choose to the letter.
PROPER QUOTATIONS & QUOTATION MARKS: You must use quotation marks, or else use indented blocks, to identify all quotations. It is OK to paraphrase and not use direct quotes only when your language is completely different from the original, but you must still give proper credit to your sources. It is not OK to just insert a few words of your own into another writer’s text and then appropriate it without using quotation marks.
All quotations must correspond exactly to the original wording, spelling, and punctuation. Page numbers must be given for each citation. Changes must be clearly indicated: use brackets to identify insertions; use ellipses (...) to show omissions. Also indicate where emphasis has been added.
REFERENCES: The last section of your paper must be a list of references. Your references must correspond to your citations in the text of your paper and must be completely consistent with your citation style. Points will be deducted from the grade for any paper that mixes up different citation styles. Your reference list should not include any sources other than those that you cite in the text of your paper, but it must also include every item that you cite or discuss, including the course material. Your reference list should begin on a new page (i.e., put a page break in front of the reference list).

Respond to the post by raising questions about the value of the evidence based on the quantitative or qualitative data analysis described by the classmate. Please use the resources to support your post.
Colleague 1 In the case study entitled, “Social Work Research: Measuring Group Success,” a group of eight female sexual abuse and/or incest survivors were participants in a treatment group over the course of 12 weeks (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014). The women were given a pretest and posttest administration of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014) and were exposed to therapeutic treatment over the course of the study. The descriptive statistics that may be used to analyze data are the pretest summed scores of all participants that show symptoms they are experiencing, such as: depression 210, anxiety 138, and stress 190; and the posttest summed scores of: depression 45, anxiety 45, and stress 61. Rather than using each participant’s score, the sum of each category provides a simplified descriptive context for data analysis (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014; Trochim, 2020). Inferential statistics may be applied by comparing the differences between the pretest and posttest scores, and making an inference as to the relationships.
In practice, utilizing descriptive statistics can give researchers and social workers an idea of what the data is showing, whereas inferential statistics attempt to go beyond what the data show by making inferences about general conditions (Trochim, 2020). In the above study, a social worker may find the cumulative scores more manageable and they provide a glimpse of what is going on with the participants. By comparing both data sets, it may be inferred that the treatment process may have had a substantial impact on the participants’ reported symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress—so long as they are not simply the result of sampling error (Yegidis, Weinbach, & Myers, 2018). In understanding these relationships and applying them to future practice as a social worker, the provision of services may be more effective.

Colleague 2 The case study evaluated a “12-week psychoeducational support group for survivors of trauma consisting of eight women (five of whom identified as Caucasian and three of whom were Hispanic in origin) who had a history of sexual abuse and/or incest” (Plummer, 2014). I would utilize descriptive statistics to describe and measure the data collected from the support group. I would evaluate the range and frequency occurring within the data collected from analyzing every aspect of the survivors participating in the support group. “Descriptive statistics allows you to understand the specific set of observations” (Frost, 2018). “With descriptive statistics, there is no uncertainty because you are describing only the people or items that you actually measure” (Frost, 2018). “You’re not trying to infer properties about a larger population” (Frost, 2018). “This procedure allows us to gain more insights and visualize the data” (Frost, 2018). As social workers you encounter various situations, working in the field evaluating findings using descriptive statistics can be very helpful in terms of educating yourself with a concise outline of data collected. This approach is easier to interpret and visualize.

The Assignment will be a 4-8 page essay on the Nestle organization. You will write a proposal on how you plan to implement education and training within the organization to address the opportunities and challenges associated with managing across cultures. The emphasis for the Assignment is on the country of origin for the assignment, so the paper is written from that foreign country’s perspective.
Since Nestle is a Swiss based company, you will write the proposal as if you are physically working in Switzerland creating a training proposal for employees who are Swiss based employees, employees from the U.S and other countries who are working in Switzerland at Nestle.
In your paper add a brief executive summary (no more than 1 page), which will include your training plan, associated costs, and human resources required.
