    Module 12: Critical Thinking Assignment
    The “World’s Most Admired Company”
    In this module, the role of the corporate headquarters in a multibusiness company — in particular, how the corporate headquarters can create value for the individual businesses. This necessitates examining the role of the corporate headquarters and its relations with individual businesses. For this week’s assignment, review CASE 13
    How Do You Solve a Problem Like General Electric?, Chapter 13 (in your textbook). Remember: A case study is a puzzle to be solved, so before reading and answering the specific case study questions, develop your proposed solution by following these five steps:
    1. Read the case study to identify the key issues and underlying issues. These issues are the principles and concepts of the course module, which apply to the situation described in the case study.
    2. Record the facts from the case study which are relevant to the principles and concepts of the module. The case may have extraneous information not relevant to the current course module. Your ability to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information is an important aspect of case analysis, as it will inform the focus of your answers.
    3. Describe in some detail the actions that would address or correct the situation.
    4. Consider how you would support your solution with examples from experience or current real-life examples or cases from textbooks.
    5. Complete this initial analysis and then read the discussion questions. Typically, you will already have the answers to the questions but with a broader consideration. At this point, you can add the details and/or analytical tools required to solve the case.
    Case Study Questions:
    6. What were the key challenges faced by General Electric in the early 2000s, and how did the company respond to these challenges?
    7. How did General Electric’s corporate strategy change under the leadership of Jeff Immelt, and what were the implications of these changes for the company’s various business units?
    8. What role did divestitures play in General Electric’s corporate strategy, and how did the company decide which businesses to sell off?
    9. How did General Electric allocate resources across its various business units, and what factors influenced these resource allocation decisions?
    10. How did General Electric leverage synergies across its different businesses, and what benefits did this approach offer the company?
    Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:
    Be 4 to 5 pages in length, which does not include the required title and reference pages, which are never a part of the content minimum requirements.
    Use Saudi Electronic University academic writing standards and APA style guidelines.
    Support your submission with course material concepts, principles, and theories from the textbook and at least two scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles unless the assignment calls for more.

    Select one of the fifty articles from The Little Norton Reader and develop an argumentative, research-based paper that addresses the broader topic in the primary article you have chosen.  The paper should both critically examine the author’s perspectives on this subject and supply your own argument, which should be backed up by additional and relevant research to deepen or expand the discussion. 
    As modeled on Reading Responses, the body of your paper should provide a thorough summary and analysis of the primary article; this must Include the proper use of summarizing, paraphrasing, direct quotations, and in-text citations that all correspond with your Works Cited Page. 
    In addition to your textual analysis of the primary article, your essay should thoughtfully explore five outside sources, containing the most relevant and persuasive evidence/research, in order to more deeply convey your argument related to the topic.  Remember, all sources must be listed on your Works Cited Page.  Unlike Paper #1, your research must be scholarly and highly credible and come from either AVC’s Library Database EBSCOhost or Google Scholar.  This research should be used to support or refute the ideas of the author and help you to develop your specific thesis.
    I have included a reading response I did for the article I would like this to be based on

  • Week Four: Discussion on Rent Control, Black Markets, and News in Microeconomics

    Week Four: Discussion
    Ends May 3
    Must post first.
    Subscribe
    The topics for week 4 follow the format “Topic #.” There are 3 topics.
    Participation Rules
    Students must post a minimum of 3 entries per week in at least 2 separate days. Notice, that it is not 3 entries per topic, it is 3 entries in total. Do not wait until the last minute to respond to the threaded discussion. Doing it will certainly not benefit the group learning experience.
    Content Rules
    All entries need to meet the criteria of being content driven, complete, considerate, and 1 idea/1 paragraph: Content Driven – this requirement means that the student actively thinks about the question or position stated and adds value to the discussion. Comments such as “I agree” or “That’s right” are not content driven and will not count as valid entries.
    Short but Complete – Limit your posts to 1-2 paragraphs. However, thoughts need to be fully developed to ensure that when other students and the instructor read the comments they are cogent and coherent. This also means that the entries need to be written in proper business communications format. Considerate – The comments are academic discussions not personal attacks. While you are certainly encouraged to express positions that disagree with other’s thinking, your thoughts must be presented as academic alternative positions with justification and examples to support your alternative position. I will indicate to the entire class what comments are personal attacks and these comments will not count as valid entries.
    1 idea/1 paragraph – The entire paragraph should present ONE single idea. If you have other idea, that should go in a separate paragraph. Within a paragraph, the 1st sentence reflects the most important message. Following sentences support the idea mentioned in the 1st sentence. The last sentence concludes the idea.
    Clearly label the topic (Topic One, Topic Two or Topic Three) you are discussing.
    Grading Rules
    Threaded discussions start on Monday and end on Friday midnight of each week, and grading will be done on Monday of the next week. However, I will moderate the discussions on Wednesdays and Fridays of each week and give some feedback. In terms of grading, if you post 3 or more entries that meet the previous criteria (Content Driven, Complete and Considerate) you will get 100 points. If you post 2 valid entries, you will get 70 points, and if you post only 1 valid entry, you will get 40 points.
    Topic One: Rent Control and Price Ceiling
    Go to our Library, Streaming Video Catalog (http://nu.libguides.com/streaming), Films on Demand section and search for Teaching Tools for Microeconomics by John Stossel (the screen you will see is below).
    Watch Segment 6. Price Controls: Unintended Consequences (5 minutes) and answer: Would you support rent control in your city? Why?
    Topic Two: Black Markets
    Tickets to athletic events, concerts and other venues are often resold at higher than original prices. In some states, scalping is outright illegal, while in other states, scalping is legal under certain circumstances.
    You may have your own opinion about scalping, and it may be related to moral issues. I would like you to use some of the concepts you have learned in this course to analyze the issue and answer the following questions:
    1. Is the original ticket price necessarily an accurate measure of the equilibrium price?
    2. Who are the winners and losers in scalping?
    Topic Three: News and microeconomics
    This week we focused on price controls and the market for labor.
    To start this discussion, any student can post a link for a news about a current issue that relates to price controls or labor market. Add a comment to entice others to read your article and participate in the discussion.
