any topic that relate to business law like cases.To complete your paper use articles from the library or Internet. These can be journals, publications, online resources, and articles related to the topic and develop a paper that summarizes, analyzes, discusses, and compares and contrasts
those concepts from your research. You may use the textbook for your paper but do not use the textbook exclusively. The paper should be at least 5pages of double-spaced text (1500 words minimum excluding coversheet, illustrations, and references). You should submit your paper to the Digital Drop Box on BeachBoard
by the deadline. Please include a cover sheet with your paper, identify the title of your paper (can be more specific than the topic), and include a line of text indicating the total word count in the paper (excluding your citations list). Use the “word count” feature in MS Word or your word-processing software to calculate the number of words; don’t count them by hand. Listed below are suggested
steps for completing your research project.

Step 1: Select a topic from those identified above (or ask the instructor about
another topic).

Step 2:
Use the library and other resources (including the textbook) to
further
research your topic. You can use
a variety of articles from journals, trade
publications, and other resources. Remember that the best information usually
comes from scholarly works published in peer
–
reviewed journals. Any materials
you find
should be
published after
the year
2000, unless
there are historical
and/or comparative reasons for using older works. Some materials are “classics”
and using
older publications
because they are classics
is permitted. This
“published after
the year
2000”
is not a mandatory requirement
and will not
negat
ively affect your grade
; however the best materials are usually recent.

Step 3:
S
tart working on your
paper
,
perhaps
using the
guidelines
as follows:
o
Identify the problem
/issue/concept
of your topic. In other words, what
overall issue(s) are
addressed in
the
resources
you read about
your
topic
?
Include information about why it’s important to study this
topic
.
o
Delineate the problem
/issue/concept
. In other words, say more about the
topic
(for example, cite statistics about the
topic
and who it affects and
w
hy
). What do other people say about your topic?
o
Identify
additional
aspects
(features)
of the
topic
, which may
be
related to
the
materials that
you have read.
Think outside the box. Are there
interesting, compelling, obscure, or unusual aspects related to
your topic?
Including this information would help mak
e your paper more interesting
.
o
Develop
your own
synthesis
, discussion,
and conclusions. In this section,
write about what you think about
the
topic
and why. Are the conclu
sions
of the
materials you rea
d
sound?
Do you agree or disagree with the

9
journals
and other articles you read?
Or,
is there some doubt about what
you read
?
Include any assumptions or inferences from what you read.
o
Please t
ry NOT to use first or second person in your paper.
In other
wo
rds, don’t use the word “I” or the word “you” in your paper
unless it’s
necessary
.
If you
cannot avoid
using first or s
econd person
in your paper
because you are relating the material in the articles to yo
ur own
experience
or opinions
, that’s okay. But ple
ase limit the words “I” and
“you” as much as possible.
o
Think about developing
a section
of your paper
devoted to
“F
urther
R
esearch.
”
In other words, indicate what ad
ditional research might be
conducted by others
to gain more knowledge about the topic
that
was not
provided in the articles you read
.
What else needs to be done
about the
problem
/topic/issue
? Did the
materials
you read
include enough
participants? Was the
methodology
appropriate?
Did the author(s) reach
the correct conclusions? Do you trust the
article
s
?
What about the
credibility of the sources you found and used?
Are conclusions from the
articles
valid and reliable?
Why or
why not?
o
Include a
References
Cited section at the end of your paper. Use
American Psychological Association (APA) style
in both the text of your
paper and in the References Cited. Do not include any references in this
section that were not “cited”
in your paper.
o
Use at least five (5) different references, such as reference
s
from a peer

reviewed journal, one reference from
a trade publication, one reference
from a newspaper, etc. You should
try to reference
at least two
different
peer

How many times you cite
each source is up to you.
o
Submit
your paper
to the
Digital Drop Box on BeachBoard
by the
specified deadline. Your paper will be reviewed using the University’s
plagiarism detection service. P
lagiarize papers will result in a grade of “F”

Module 1 – SLP

INFLUENCES ON EMPLOYEE RELATIONS

In the SLP project for this course you are asked to place yourself in the role of others. You might play the role of an employee, HR Manager, or another stakeholder in a private-sector organization. By the end of the course, you will have a better understanding of different HRM employee/union/employer relations responsibilities in the private-sector and how to maximize your department’s contributions to the organization.

Your assignment:

Look over the following list from the Overview page:

As you recall we began the course by considering many different internal and external factors that might impact relationships at work. For example:

• Employer Rights                          Company Policy & Work Rules
• Management Actions                   Wage and Salary Plans
• Employee Privacy                        Employee Benefits
• Supervisory Actions                     Work Design
• Economic Conditions                   Available Information
• Work Assignments                       Technology
• Employee/Co-worker Actions       Performance Management
• Labor Unions                                Company Practices
• Laws & Regulations                     HRM Procedures

Write a magazine article draft (of at least 750 words) in which you select one internal or external factor from above and analyze how it can positively or negatively impact work relationships. (Look at HR Magazine in the library to see what a short magazine article might look like.) Be sure to include employer examples (stating employers by name). Also provide specific examples (for example, if you discuss “work assignments,” provide actual examples of work assignments on the job and how they could impact relationships with others).

Include 2 additional library sources (or more) to help strengthen your submission. 

Upload your paper by the module due date.

SLP Assignment Expectations

Demonstrate critical thinking and analysis of the relevant issues and HRM actions, drawing on your background reading and research.

Information Literacy: Evaluate resources and select only library/web-based resources that provide reliable, substantiated information.

Give authors credit for their work. Cite sources of borrowed information in the body of your text as footnotes or numbered end notes, or use APA style of referencing.

Prepare a paper that is professionally presented (including a cover page, a list of references, headings/subheadings, and a strong introduction and conclusion). Proofread carefully for grammar, spelling, and word-usage errors.

SECOND PAPER

Module 1 – SLP

PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMICS

Recently, the State of California prohibited grocery stores from providing free disposable bags to their customers. Instead, stores were required to charge a small fee of 10 cents per bag if customers wanted to buy bags from the store. Customers were encouraged to bring and use their own reusable bags. Despite the nominal charge of 10 cents per bag being so little, the large majority of consumers have adapted by bringing their own reusable bags when they go grocery shopping.

In a 2- page paper, explain how the economic concept of elasticity of demand applies to disposable grocery bags and how the concept might have been used in setting the 10-cent bag fee. Besides elasticity of demand, what other economic and noneconomic forces might have been at work in the significant reduction in the use of disposable bags in California?

"Never Let a Quiet Watch at Sea Lull You into a False Sense of Security"

A little background on what it means to exercise command at sea:

"Only a seaman realizes to what great extent an entire ship reflects the personality and ability of one individual, her Commanding Officer. To a landsman, this is not understandable, and sometimes it is even difficult for us to comprehend–but it is so!

A ship is a different world in herself, and in consideration of the protracted and distant operations of the fleet units, the Navy must place great power, responsibility and trust in the hands of those leaders chosen for command. In each ship there is one man who, in the hour of emergency or peril at sea, can turn to no other man. There is one who alone is ultimately responsible for the safe navigation, engineering performance, accurate gunfiring, and morale of his ship. He is the Commanding Officer. He is the ship!

This is the most difficult and demanding assignment in the Navy. There is not an instant during his tour as Commanding Officer that he can escape the grasp of command responsibility.

This is a duty which most richly deserves the highest time-honored title of the seafaring world–'CAPTAIN.'"

Captain Joseph Conrad

Our Case Study:

The weather would be turning bad overnight, but late on a sunny afternoon in gentle seas, the Commanding Officer (the CO) had a fresh cup of coffee in hand and enjoyed what little was left of the day in his designated chair on the bridge. It was an older ship, but she could still perform in an award-winning way, even if she could not land helicopters like the newer ones. They had just secured a helicopter from "flight quarters." The aircraft carrier had delivered the mail and some repair parts by lowering them by winch while still flying over the stern. The coffee was good, and all was well on board.

Most of the planned work for the day had been accomplished as well, and crewmembers not on watch had some time for themselves. A young seaman was getting his physical fitness training by lifting free weights with friends. Unexpectedly, the restraining collar on the barbell came loose and the weights on that end fell off–the heavy end came straight down on the seaman's foot and broke some bones. After a quick check by Doc, a senior enlisted Hospital Corpsman, it was clear that the seaman needed a medical evacuation to the aircraft carrier, where higher levels of diagnosis and care were available. The CO would surely not be pleased!

Only the helicopter flight crew was certified to fly after dark, and twilight was coming soon. The seaman's needs were beyond the capability of the medical staff on board. No further helicopter operations were scheduled for the day. The aircraft carrier was a significant flying time away, and it was unclear whether an unscheduled mission could be completed before dark. The weather conditions would be too bad for flying tomorrow–probably the next day as well. If the flight was to happen, the CO would need to arrange it with the Carrier Air Group Commander right away.

Meanwhile, the injured seaman was in much pain and in significant need of care. He had never flown in a helicopter and was afraid of flying. He had not received the training for being hoisted from the deck into a flying helicopter or training in emergency egress procedures, and the broken bones in his foot were causing lots of pain anyway.

A decision was needed, and there was little time to make it. If the medical evacuation mission were to be conducted, the conditions were less than great. Good advice was to be had from the Corpsman and others in the command, but the final assessment of the risks involved and the decision of what to do would rest with the CO alone. There was nothing else to be done on the ship for the injured seaman except to sedate him.

And the sun was getting lower in the sky . . . quickly.
