    Instructions and guidelines for course paper

    1.The Assignment

    This course is intended to familiarize you with Managerial Economics. The ultimate goal is for you to be able to understand and interpret what is going on in the contemporary world of Managerial Economics, both in the United Stated and around the world. The course paper is your opportunity to get some practice at applying what you have learned.

    You are asked to write a 5-page paper analyzing a company of your choosing. You should attempt to write about it in light of what you have learned in class or read in your text. The paper will be due (see Blackboard). No late papers will be accepted. You must submit (upload) your paper MS Word format in Blackboard. If you do not submit (upload) your paper in the required MS Word format, so that SafeAssign can effortlessly produce the needed originality report, you will automatically get 0 points on the paper.

    Designing viable strategies for a firm requires a thorough understanding of the firm’s industry, its competition, and the social, economic, and political environments in which the firm operates. Additionally, the executives of the firm need always to address four questions: (1) What are the boundaries of the industry? (2) What is the structure of the industry? (3) What firms are competitors? (4) What are the major determinants of competition?

    2.Paper Structure

    You can find below some help with respect to the writing of the different sections.

    a.Choose a main topic: which company are you going to write about? Why are you interested in this specific topic? Why should the reader(s)be interested in it?

    b. Explain the structure of the company/industry that you are analyzing. Is it local/American or global? You should also describe:

    The CEO

    the company mission and the scope of its operations.

    the specific model used to obtain short-, medium-, and long-term objectives.

    the company’s management model.

    the companys hierarchical structure.

    the grand strategy, annual objectives, functional strategies, and indicators for control and evaluation.

    c. Discuss its current situation, and any notable moments (successes/failures) in its past development. Focus your analysis on economic indicators, and their development over time (e.g. revenues, losses, profits, market shares, economic performance indexes, etc.). You can discuss: (1) threat of entry, economies of scale, product differentiation, capital requirements, cost advantages and disadvantages, access to distribution channels, and government policies; (2) vertical and horizontal linkages of suppliers, (3) understanding consumers and buyers along with substitute and complement products.

    d. Evaluate the company and/or industry, and its future prospects. Is it concentrated, or competitive (using some concentration indexes covered in class)? You can also relate this section to Porters five forces model. You can also refer to the following criteria: market share, breadth of product line, effectiveness of sales distribution, proprietary technologies and patent rights, price competitiveness, advertising and promotion effectiveness, location and age of facility, capacity potential/limitations and productivity, and the quality of the workforce.

    e. Conclude by discussing your opinion based on what you have learned during your research.

    f. Provide a list of your references at the end of the paper, in an APA format. You should use at least 4-5references.A proper reference consists of: author(s), title of the article/book, year of publication, and venue of publication. A web-site alone is not a reference!

    g. Include all graphs and tables needed to illustrate your research findings in an Appendix.

    h. You are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the services of the Writing Center: each of the above points, but stay on focus and within the page limit. Do not digress.

    The paper should be 5 pages (excluding references and the Appendix), size 12 script, double spaced.

    Your paper must be a unique and original piece of research for this class. You cannot re-use (even partially) any other paper that you officially submitted for any other class. You should by no means copy somebody elses paper either your classmates paper, or the papers that you use as a source of information. Copying violates the universitys honor policy and will be punished accordingly. All papers submitted will be scanned through SafeAssign (or any other similar system) to test for plagiarism. Any form of plagiarism will automatically result in an F grade on the paper.

  • What’s the main message or lesson of your story?

    This question helps you identify the theme of your script. Think about what you want the audience to learnlike honesty, respect, or friendship. Your whole story should support this message.

  • Psychology Question

    Future Directions in Applied Behavior Analysis

    This assignment assesses the following Course Outcomes:

    PS558-4: Examine the historical perspectives and current developments in applied behavior analysis and professional practice.

    PS558-5: Describe the dimensions of applied behavior analysis.

    PC-4.3: Apply concepts of cultural competence to become an agent of change.

    Developments and the Future of Applied Behavior Analysis

    Through the second half of this course, you have had the opportunity to trace the development of applied behavior analysis from the latter part of the twentieth century to the present. This assignment will offer you the opportunity to examine those developments and how applied behavior analysis continues to evolve while remaining rooted in its foundations in science and the philosophy of behaviorism.

    For this assignment, you will provide a long-answer essay response to each of the questions below. For each question, you are encouraged to use the peer-reviewed resources provided throughout the units to support your responses. Please do not copy and paste the whole question into the document. Rather, use APA format section headings to organize your paper, with separate sections for each question. Use the rubric and the assignment prompts as guides to be sure you address all topics.

    Please respond to the following:

    • Begin the assignment by reading the (Leaf, et al. 2022) article, which describes some recent critical perspectives and misconceptions on the use of ABA to treat individuals with autism and other disabilities: Then, use the knowledge that you have gained from this course to make two arguments.
      • In your first argument, explain the usefulness, benefits, and social validity of ABA as an approach to treatment and behavioral development. Be sure to consider the importance of an evidence-based and data-driven approach and the right to effective treatment as described in (Van Houten et al., 1988).
      • In your second argument, respond to some of the concerns addressed in this article.
      • What are some possible unwanted effects that may be associated with practice of ABA, particularly in its earliest historical use? What are some ways the authors suggest these concerns can be addressed?
      • Finally, after considering both arguments, present a supported conclusion on the appropriateness of applied behavior analysis as a socially valid treatment approach to improve quality of life, based on your analysis of the article and related issues. Be sure that you are using your readings and integrating citations to support both arguments.
    • Name and briefly describe five recent developments in ABA that were reviewed in the course.
      • Explain how the philosophy and practice of ABA has evolved with each development and include a specific example for each.
      • Briefly recap each of Baer et al.s (1968) seven dimensions of ABA.
      • Choose one recent development that is of most interest to you and be specific about how the development meets the requirement for each of the seven dimensions. Discuss if there are any ways in which the development does not support the dimensions.
    • Consider the future of ABA. Based on your readings and analysis, what are some important areas for growth and change?
      • Consider the current state of multiculturalism and diversity in practice. Provide a thoughtfully supported prediction of how growth in these areas helps to build relationships to effectively support the goals and practices of applied behavior analysis.
      • Analyze ways in which the goals and philosophical assumptions of ABA, as a related set of underpinnings, will allow for continued development and expansion without sacrificing the scientific foundations of ABA.
      • In your supported opinion (i.e., using your readings for support), what are some important areas in which ABA should not change? Your assignment should be 810 pages, not including the title and reference pages, and should include the following elements:
        • Title Page: Provide the assignment title, your name, course and section number, instructor name, and date.
        • Body: Include an introductory and a concluding paragraph. Answer all the questions in complete sentences and paragraphs, using appropriate personal and professional insights.
          • The assignment must be written in Standard English and demonstrate superior organization, including a highly developed viewpoint and purpose that is clearly established and sustained. The communication of your thoughts must be highly ordered, logical, and unified, displaying exceptional content, organization, style, and mechanics (including the use of correct grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure).
          • Your responses should meet professional writing standards, using proper tone and language. The writing and writing style should be correct and accurate and reflect knowledge of applied behavior analysis.
        • Reference Page: Sources listed in APA format.
          • Include a minimum of five scholarly peer-reviewed sources to support your responses and conclusions.
        • Use Arial or Times New Roman 12-point font, double-spaced and left aligned.
        • Use standard 1″ margins on all sides.
        • Use current APA formatting and citation style.
          • If you need assistance with APA style, please visit the .
