Research Paper Review

Global Supply Chain and Operations Management Final Paper Assignment

For the final assignment for this session, I would like for you to read the two articles (It’s Up To Manufacturers to Keep Their Suppliers Afloat; Bringing Manufacturing Back to the US is Easier Said Than Done). Upon the completion of reading each article, please compile a summarized and opinionated version of the two articles as they relate to one another. For starters, the articles were written at the rise of the pandemic and give several examples of how certain organizations or industries reacted and possibly changed their strategic approach with respect to their suppliers.

The paper should be written using a modified version of the APA style of writing (summarized below), should contain a minimum of three full pages of well-structured, and constructed content about the topic. This will include a title (originally and uniquely created by you), a brief abstract paragraph, an introductory paragraph describing what the body of the paper will represent, three supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion with references, if applicable. Organization this style of paper must include:

• A title – limit your title to a maximum of 12 words and avoid the use of abbreviations and unnecessary words

• An abstract- the abstract should discuss the topic under study, any subjects of the research, the findings/results, and your conclusions

• An introduction- address the problem and premise upon which the paper was based

• Your results (body of the paper; three supporting paragraphs, minimum) – explain what you found and would like or plan to describe that was included in the introduction

• A conclusion- talk about what your findings mean

• References- a list of the sources you cited

Mechanics

APA style manuscript formatting demands the use of double-spacing and 8.5 x 11 paper with 1-inch margins. Times New Roman 12pt font is recommended. There are a large number of specific recommendations for proper manuscript formatting of an APA style paper, which can be found in the APA Manual of Style.

What is APA Citation?

Citation in APA style follows a specific format. In general, you should cite citations in the text and then provide the full citation in the “References” section at the end of your paper. Note that

APA style requires this section to be titled “References.” “Works Cited” or “Bibliography” is not an acceptable alternative in APA style manuscript formatting.

Citation style will differ somewhat depending on whether you are citing a journal article, book, blog entry, news article, conference paper, social media post, or some other type of media. For the sake of a simple example, we will cite a journal article here. In-text Citation Example

Fianance

 Evaluate the following statement: Managers should not focus on the current stock value because doing so will lead to an overemphasis on short-term profits at the expense of long-term profits. 

 Why do you think most long-term financial planning begins with the sales forecast? Put differently why future sales are the key input?

Movie: A Separation (2011)

· A Separation  is a 2011 Iranian drama film written and directed by Asghar Farhadi 

· Please answer the questions (all parts) and remember to compare and contrast the two families for the questions on economic, religious, etc.. your grade will depend on the totality and quality of your answers so please be thoughtful. You may need to watch the movie more than once since there are subtitles- in order to understand some of the situations more thoroughly.

· Remember this is an individual assignment. You will be graded based on the effort and completeness of your responses. Remember to answer all parts of the questions. Take your time and think about the differences within the same culture that impact the outcome.

1) Why does Simin decide to sue Nadar for divorce? What drove her to take this action? (What approach to the situation did she take and why)

2) How does  religion, gender, education, generation, and economic class play a role in “A Separation”? You must answer for each category . Please compare and contrast the characters and how they differ in the categories. Simin/Nadar Hojat/Razieh

3) Why does Nadar hold back from granting permission for Simin and their daughter to leave the country? What were his positions? His interests?

4) What role does Miss Gharaii (the tutor) have in the cultural differences? Does her willingness to help Nadar put him in a better position to defend his actions? What happens when she changes her mind?

5) How does honesty impact the legal battles when no one person is in possession of all the fact?

6) How would you manage the untangling of all the facts and keep the decision within the letter of the law? (In a place where the law is based directly on the religion)

7) Is the law adequate to deal with human emotions? (Is any set of laws?)
