Assignments

Strengths, Challenges, Opportunities and Threats (SCOT) is a simple yet comprehensive way of assessing the positive and negative forces within and outside your organization so you can be better prepared to act effectively. It reminds the project leader to build on strengths, minimize challenges, seize opportunities, and counteract threats.

Assignment Prompt

Each student will perform a SCOT (formerly SWOT) analysis in their practice that identifies strengths, challenges, opportunities and threats to assist in making strategic plans and decisions in the implementation of the EBP.

Submit  2-3 slide PowerPoint presentation of a SCOT analysis as it relates to your project.

Expectations

• Due: Monday, 11:59 pm PT
• Length: 2-3 slides
• Format: Power Point with diagram
• Research: At least two peer reviewed reference within the last 5 years

This is a 2-part assignment, and each part is worth 20 % of your course grade! This assignment allows you time to research a policy that is interesting, and/or meaningful to you. The assignment starts with the selection of a topic for your research.  Topics and teams will be selected in class on Thursday.  When  topics are chosen, we will also create teams, with 2 students per team. The outcome of your individual research portion will be reported in an Annotated Bibliography. Details will be posted in Canvas and discussed in class. The topics will need to be refined, and research questions created. We will have 3-5 different topics so that several students will be doing research on the same topic, thereby expanding access to learning from more research. Examples from past classes include Raising the Minimum Wage, Criminal Justice Reform,  and Homelessness Policy Change. First decide on your own topic of interest, in class we will discuss all interests and vote. You will meet in class with your team and develop your research question. I’ll review the research questions with each team, and they will post the team names and topic questions in Canvas. Then you start your  research, using the Delaware County Community College Learning Commons, with support from the Reference Librarians, if needed. Teams will need to meet to plan their Policy Debate. I will try to incorporate 30 minutes in class, but time will also be needed outside of class for the research and planning meetings.

Policy Analysis, Annotated Bibliography      Value: 20%          Due: Sunday, 4/24.    Each student must include a minimum of 5 academic journal or news articles about your topic. Each team will be researching and preparing to present either a pro or con side of that policy. I will assign students to a pro or con side of the debate. In social policy development, it is particularly important to know your side of the policy but also to be knowledgeable about the ideas and goals of the opposing side of that policy. Time in a class session is valuable, so please try to be in class on time. Thursday you will be able to note your topic of interest, vote on topics, be placed in teams to develop research questions. You will leave class ready to research.

The Policy Debate                      Value: 20%    Date: 4/26 or 4/28, in class                                                  Research teams will debate during class Tuesday/Thursday, 4/26, 4/28. Start your work now! The debate process will be structured, and students come prepared to discuss the research evidence to support their side of the debate.  You will need time at home to prepare and practice since each team will only debate for 10-12 minutes. Students often share that they do not prefer certain policies that guide or limit social work practice. Students have identified government policies that can be changed to better support our fellow citizens and decrease the punitive nature of many of our social welfare policies, especially in the criminal justice and addiction treatment systems. This combination of research and debate will allow students the time to explore the research that supports their policy interest.

 Research the company on its own website, public filings on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s and any other sources you may find. The annual report will often provide insights that can help address some of these questions. 

Requirements

Write a 6-8 PG in which you do the following:

• Analyze the business-level strategies for the corporation you chose to determine the business-level strategy you think is most important to the long-term success of the firm and whether you judge this to be a good choice. Justify your opinion.
• Analyze the corporate-level strategies for the corporation you chose to determine the corporate-level strategy you think is most important to the long-term success of the firm and whether you judge this to be a good choice. Justify your opinion.
• Analyze the competitive environment to determine the corporation’s most significant competitor. Compare their strategies at each level and evaluate which company you think is most likely to be successful in the long term. Justify your choice.
• Determine whether your choice from Question 3 would differ in slow-cycle and fast-cycle markets.
• Use at least three quality references.

HELPFUL HINTS

The two types of business-level complementary alliances are vertical and horizontal. Firms with competencies in different stages of the value chain form a vertical alliance to cooperatively integrate their different, but complementary, skills. Firms combining their competencies to create value in the same stage of the value in the same stage of the value chain are using a horizontal alliance. Vertical complementary strategic alliances are formed more frequently than horizontal alliances.

Corporate-level cooperative strategies are used to facilitate product and market diversification. As a cooperative strategy, franchising allows the firms to use its competencies to extend or diversify its product or market reach, but without completing a merger or an acquisition.

Strategic networks formed to implement international cooperative strategies result in firms competing in several countries. Differences among countries’ regulatory environments increase the challenge of managing international networks and verifying that at a minimum, the network’s operations comply with all legal requirements.

However, he says you have a horrible habit of just making things up. He asks you the following questions. He will not believe your answers unless you provide some proof, as he is a graduate student and wants to see clear and supported evidence. Complete both 1 and 2 in your main post. You will need to support Questions 1 and 2 with scholarly sources.

1. Identify and define, in your own words, the three internet foundational technologies.
2. Identify two services that the internet and web offer that can directly contribute to an e-Commerce solution, such as your proposal. Explain those two services, with examples.

When you respond to your peers, choose responses that include different services from what you chose. Focus on different ways to support e-Commerce

Response Parameters

Prompts for this course are not opinion questions and should, therefore, be supported with scholarly sources. You can use the textbook, but that does not count as your obtained scholarly source.

Scholarly sources should be from current peer-reviewed journal articles (published within the last 36 months) and support your content. So, one of your sources for each of your main posts needs to be published in a valid scholarly journal within the last 36 months—older will not “count” as your supporting source. However, you may include older sources, in addition to more current ones, to further support your posts.

The Proposal requires you to propose a solution that will be supported with sources, as you will be asking to be funded. The discussions allow you to practice this approach. Scholarly sources carry more weight, as they have been validated. Wikipedia, for example, is not a valid source for an academic environment.

Peer responses should also be supported with sources that can be from the textbook, peer-reviewed journal articles, and other reputable sources.

• Initial responses are due by Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. ET
  • Posts should be 300 words in length
  • A minimum of one obtained scholarly source is needed, and it should be included in the reference list at the end of the post
  • All content from the source should be properly cited or quoted in the post, using APA or MLA format. Reminder that quoted content should make up no more than 20% of your post and should be reserved for content, such as statistics and dollar amounts. Overusing an author’s exact words, such as including block quotations to meet word counts, may lead your readers to conclude that you lack appropriate comprehension of the subject matter or that you are neither an original thinker nor a skillful writer.
