Discussion: The International Monetary Fund

  • For a long time, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has had its supporters and detractors. In this discussion, you will have the opportunity to consider some of the IMF’s actions and determine whether they were beneficial as well as ethical.

    To help frame this discussion, consider the IMF’s actions in Greece. Greece spent a decade in economic turmoil starting in 2009. The IMF provided financial assistance to “bail out” Greece multiple times during the crisis. Their loans came with requirements that Greece needed to meet. Some argue that the IMF made the crisis much worse, whereas others feel the IMF provided timely support to Greece not long after the global financial crisis of 2008.

    In your initial post, use the following questions to guide your responses:

    • When should a government, economy, or country be bailed out, if ever? Justify your answer with specific examples and how the bailout or lack of bailout would impact the global economy and the future of globalization.
    • Ideally, which countries or organizations would provide the economic support for a government that needs a bailout? Is the IMF the ideal organization to bail out a country?
    • Is it ethical for the IMF to bail out countries that repeatedly make bad economic and fiscal decisions? Is it ethical for the IMF to have significant requirements attached to its loans?
    • What lessons should be learned from the Greek debt crisis for countries with debt obligation issues and for organizations such as the IMF?

    In your responses to two or more of your peers, address the following:

    • The IMF is considering creating a digital currency. Assuming that we are in a world where there is a single digital currency, who would ideally create a global cryptocurrency? Would you trust the IMF to create one? Or would you prefer one created by a global bank such as JPMorgan Chase or one backed by a country?
    • What are the ethical implications of cryptocurrency?

Describe the role of Team Leader

Introduction

Over the last few weeks, you have learned how to start  identifying the roles and skills needed to build an effective team. You  have also discovered methods for selecting and evaluating potential  candidates. Now it is time to put your team-building techniques into  practice by participating in a case study with real employees from Joe  Gibbs Racing! This assignment gives you an opportunity to demonstrate  your knowledge of actual team building techniques and leadership  qualities. In addition, this assignment prepares you to complete your  final course assignment, A Report for Vice President’s Approval of your  team, due in Week 10.

Scenario

Imagine that you work at JGR. The CEO has tasked you with being  the Team Leader for a committee that will plan a one-day summer  team-building retreat. All JGR employees will be attending the event.  The purpose of the retreat is to foster unity, trust, and cohesion  between the organization’s employees. The event will start with a  welcome and introduction, and then everyone will break out into group  team-building sessions. The whole team will reconvene for a company-wide  lunch, followed by a keynote speech.

As the Team Leader for the event planning committee, your job is to choose four other JGR employees to be on your committee.

Instructions

Download the Week 7 JGR Roles and Employees [DOCX].

In the Week 7 document, read the four  role descriptions, Logistics, Budgeting, Programming, and MC/Host. For  this assignment, you will choose four team members to fill these team  roles.

Watch the Week 7 Strayer Talk,  Building Your Team: Finding the Right Balance, which describes the 10  JGR candidates you may choose from for your Fantasy Team. Brief  information on the candidates is also provided in the Week 7 document.

Complete a 10–12 slide PowerPoint presentation in which you do the following:

1. Describe the role of Team Leader and how you will fulfill that role.

Explain your skills and personal strengths needed to be an effective team leader.

Think about your personal DiSC  assessment results from JGR100. What is your DiSC work style, and how  will you select team members to complement your skills?

What will you be responsible for as  Team Leader? What will you handle personally, and what will you delegate  to other members of your team?

2. Select a candidate for each of the four roles described above, and justify your selections.

Review the candidates by viewing the Week 7 Strayer talk and the document JGR Employee Profiles.

Consider how each choice’s particular skills and personality will help them perform their role successfully.

How do these team members’ strengths  complement yours? What skills and/or personality traits do they have  that will help your team in areas where you feel challenged?

Explain how chosen team members complement you in more than one case.

3. Create 10–12 Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT) slides for the JGR  CEO in which you present the team you have put together for the one-day  summer team-building retreat.

Include a title slide and reference slide, in addition to the required slides (not included in the 10–12 slide count).

Include speaker notes or record audio for each slide content.

Use specific phrases, ideas, and  quotes from the Strayer Videos, Coach’s Huddle, Weekly Readings, and/or  Discussion to explain and support your thoughts.

Write in a professional manner using proper grammar, spelling, punctuation, and SWS.

Outline ways to analyze your leadership potential while applying business writing skills.

Case Study: Uncertainty Warren

Case Study: Uncertainty

[WLOs: 1, 2, 3, 4] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 5]

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review Chapter 6: Decision Making Under Uncertainty.

Read Case 6.4, “Developing a Helicopter Component for the ARMY” in your course text.

For Part 1 of this assignment, using an Excel spreadsheet,

  • Develop a decision tree to maximize Ventron’s expected monetary value (EMV).
    • This includes the revenue from this project, the side benefits (if applicable) from an improved extrusion process, and relevant costs.
    • You don’t need to worry about time value of money; that is, no discounting or net present values are required.
  • Summarize your findings in words in the spreadsheet.

For Part 2 of this assignment, in a one to two page paper,

  • Determine what value of side benefits would make Ventron indifferent between the two alternatives.
  • Evaluate how much Ventron would be willing to pay, right now, for perfect information about both steps of the improved extrusion process.

The Case Study: Uncertainty paper

Discuss on Healthcare Finance

  1. Complete all the reading assignments for this course (all 5 modules) prior to beginning work on this assignment. These readings have a direct relation to the case.
  2. Read Case 24: River Community Hospital (A), Assessing Hospital Performance, on pp 159-160 of Pink and Song (2018) (Links to an external site.).
  3. Write a written report to the hospital’s board of trustees (following APA format) detailing answers to the following:
    • Interpret the hospital’s statements of cash flows.
    • Present an overview of the hospital’s financial position using the Du Pont equation as a guide.
    • Use ratio analysis to identify the hospital’s specific financial strengths and weaknesses. Note: The board is not going to appreciate a lengthy dialogue with too many individual ratios. Focus on key findings and one or two ratios per category – don’t put them to sleep! Also, use graphs or other techniques to summarize the data.
    • Use operating indicator analysis to identify the operational factors that explain the hospital’s current financial condition.
    • Summarize your evaluation of the hospital’s financial condition. However, don’t just rehash the numbers; rather, present your views on the potential underlying economic and managerial factors that might have caused any problems that surfaced in the financial and operating analysis.
    • Make any recommendations that you believe the hospital should follow to ensure future financial soundness.
  4. Prepare your assignment for submission:
    • Follow all applicable APA Guidelines (Links to an external site.) regarding in-text citations, list of cited references, and document formatting for this paper. Failure to properly cite and reference sources constitutes plagiarism.
    • The title page and reference list are not included in the page count for this paper.
    • Proofread your assignment carefully. Improper English grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, or spelling will result in significant point deductions.

Torts Affecting

Business 10

289

Just as contract law is the way owners

exchange what they own in a propertybased

legal system, so also tort law is an

important part of the same system. The property

fence protects our use of things. It is part of

what we own. But our protected use is not infinite.

It may be absolute but because we live with

other people and what is proper to them, we

may not use things just anyway we please. We

do not have a protected use of a thing if our use

harms what others own, including their persons.

Tort law helps define where the property fence is

when it comes to our use of things. It makes our

use legally wrongful and helps anyone injured

by our wrongful use to get compensation, called

“damages.”

T he word tort means “wrong.” Legally, a tort

is a civil wrong other than a breach of contract.

Tort law sets limits on how people can act and

use their resources so they do not violate the right

290 PART 3 Legal Foundations for Business

others have to their resources. If you think of property as a type of legal fence

surrounding resources, then tort law defines when someone has crossed that

fence wrongfully so that compensation is due to the owner.

Legal wrongs inflicted on the resources of others may be crimes as well as

torts (see Chapter 12), but the law of tort itself is civil rather than criminal.

The usual remedy for a tort is dollar damages. Behavior that constitutes a tort

is called tortious behavior. One who commits a tort is a tortfeasor.

This chapter divides torts into three main categories: intentional torts,

negligence torts, and strict liability torts. Intentional torts involve deliberate

actions that cause injury. Negligence torts involve injury following a failure to

use reasonable care. Strict liability torts impose legal responsibility for injury

even though a liable party neither intentionally nor negligently causes the

injury.

Important to torts are the concepts of duty and causation. One is not liable

for another’s injury unless he or she has a duty toward the person injured.

And, of course, there is usually no liability for injury unless one has caused the

injury. We explain these concepts under the discussion of negligence, where

they are most relevant.

This chapter also covers the topic of damages. The topic concerns the

business community because huge damage awards, frequently against businesses,

have become common in recent years.

>> Intentional Torts

An important element in the following torts is intent, as we are dealing with

intentional torts. Intent is usually defined as the desire to bring about certain

results. But in some circumstances the meaning is even broader, including not

only desired results but also results that are “substantially likely” to result

from an action. Recently, employers who knowingly exposed employees to

toxic substances without warning them of the dangers have been sued for

committing the intentional tort of battery. The employers did not desire their

employees’ injuries, but these injuries were “substantially likely” to result

from the failure to warn.
