  • Preventing physical Maturation in a Brain Damaged Girl

    On January 3, 2007, the news media broke the controversial story of Ashley, a cognitively none year old girl whose parents authorized medical interventions designed to impede her physical development. Ashley was born with static encephalopathy, a brain impairment that resulted in her cognitive development being arrested at that of a normal three-month-old infant. She is unable to talk, walk, sit up, turn over, or eat without assistance. In view of her severe incapacity, her parents authorized the childrens hospital in Seattle to provide what they called the Ashley Treatment: powerful estrogen therapy to stunt the girls growth, removal of her breast buds to prevent breast maturation, and hysterectomy to prevent the discomfort of menstruation and any possibility of pregnancy.

    According to Ashleys parents, the medical interventions were motivated by the girls best interests. Remaining small at under 80 pounds and four feet five inches tall means that Ashley can be held in their arms, moved more easily, taken outside the house and out of town often, and bathed in a standard bathtub. These possibilities, they maintain, are good for her physically (e.g for her circulation) and psychologically (since more outings equal more stimulation). In sum, the Ashley Treatment was designed to improve our daughters quality of life and not to convenience her caregivers.

    SECTION A

    Answer the question in this section.

    Question 1

    Write a 1700 words essay addressing the following.

    The characteristics of labour contracts in the Syldavian agricultural sector

    are different to those generally observed in the industrial sector.

    Characteristic 1: labour contracts in agriculture pay a fixed wage rate per

    hour.

    Characteristic 2: labour contracts in industry always include a fix

    component and a variable component which positively depends on the

    production level of the firm (i.e. a productivity bonus).

    In addition, Syldavians who are absent from work due to sickness do not

    currently receive any wage or subsidy during their illness, and a survey

    has shown them to be willing to pay taxes corresponding to 30% of their

    labour income to fund an ill-health benefit to be received when not

    working.

    The Syldavian government is trying to understand why contracts in the

    agricultural and in the industrial sector systematically differ and is planning

    to fund an ill-health subsidy out of taxation. To that purpose, the

    government invites you to Klow and tasks you with writing a report covering

    in the order of your choice the following points:

    (a) A brief explanation of the key issue of asymmetric information in terms

    accessible to the general public.

    (b) A brief explanation of moral hazard and then of adverse selection

    problems, underlining how these two problems differ.

    (c) A brief explanation of the concept of risk-aversion and how it impacts

    the desirable distribution of income in the presence of risk.

    (d) An explanation based on informational asymmetries of why the type of

    contracts in agriculture and industry may differ.

    (e) An assessment of why the results from the survey suggest that the

    introduction of a tax-funded ill-health benefit may be a good measure.

    Section B: Answer ONE of the TWO questions in this section

    Question 2

    Write an essay of approximately 800 words addressing the following.

    Consider the moral hazard model with two states of nature and two effort

    levels presented in the lectures.

    In the presence of moral hazard, the principal can still propose the optimal

    low-effort contract but chooses instead not to offer the optimal high-effort

    contract. Explain why this is the case, and which are the characteristics of

    the alternative non-optimal high-effort contract proposed by the principal

    under moral hazard. Illustrate your answer with both a mathematical and

    a graphical analysis, and relating this analysis to your explanation.

    Question 3

    Write an essay of approximately 800 words addressing the following.

    Consider the adverse selection model of competition in insurance

    contracts presented in the lectures.

    In the presence of adverse selection, we expect either a separating or a

    pooling equilibrium to arise. Explain how the separating and pooling

    equilibria differ, and which are the conditions under which we expect one

    or the other to arise. Illustrate your answer with both a mathematical and

    a graphical analysis, and relating this analysis to your explanation.

  • Information Interviewee Summary

    You may think you already know all about a certain company or role, but speaking to someone directly gives you the opportunity to test your assumptions.- John Lee, The Success Code

    An informational interview is a networking tool to learn about specific organizations or roles from someone with firsthand experience. The goal is to gain insights and potentially receive guidance for your own career exploration. However, these interviews are NOT a format for job applications or referrals for jobs. The agenda should be designed around asking the interviewee about the interviewee’s career path, organization or role. Typical questions include:

    1. Tell me how you became interested in this organization? What do you value most about working with your employer?

    2. How did you get started in your career? What skills or experiences have been most helpful for you in your career?

    This assignment requires you to schedule, plan and conduct an informational interview with a professional who works in an organization you are most interested in working with or for within the next 2-3 years. This is the first of two deliverables.

    Submit a two-page summary of who the interviewee is, how you were able to make contact and 3-4 key questions items you plan to cover during your meeting. Since this course is focused on organizational behavior, be sure to ask (some) questions about culture and the employee experience. The interviewee’s LinkedIn profile link and the date and time of your (virtual) interview must be included. This assignment is worth 8% of the final grade in a graduate level course. The format, content and depth of the submission should reflect the importance of the assignment.

    Although it may be interesting to discuss these topics with family members and/or to interview other current (or recent) students, no points will be awarded for these interviews.

    Requirements: 2 page

  • Management Question

    this assignment, select a public figure (Giorgio Armani) who you believe to be an effective leader, and can find sufficient information about. Write a research report about the leader argues why you think he/she is an effective leader. Your argument must be supported by the leadership class material, published scientific research, and information you find about the character you selected.

    report should be between 1000 2000 words and should include no less that 10 scientific papers (journal articles, conference proceedings, books, etc.). This assignment will be graded on how well you present an argument and how much you can support this argument through class material and research.

    P.s: Your references must be properly cited within the text body of your paper.

    Requirements:

  • please follow the instructions below

    Purpose

    In real-world analytics projects, analysts rarely begin with clean, well-documented datasets. Instead, they must first understand what data exists, how it is structured, and what level of detail it contains before any analysis can occur.

    The purpose of this assignment is to practice creating a data inventory for real organizational reports related to fundraising activities. This process will help you determine what questions the data can reasonably support and what limitations exist prior to analysis.

    Data for This Assignment

    You are provided with fundraising reports for three years (20232025).
    Each year includes two Excel files related to fundraising activity.

    For this assignment, you will:

    • Complete a detailed data inventory for the 2023 fundraising files
    • Perform a structural check for the 2024 and 2025 files to confirm whether the same structure is present

    No calculations, visualizations, or statistical analysis are required.

    Part A: Data Inventory (2023 Fundraising Files)

    (6 points)

    Using the 2023 fundraising files only, complete a data inventory for each Excel file.

    For each file, document the following:

    File Information

    • File name.
    • Number of worksheets (tabs).

    Worksheet (Tab) Inventory

    For each tab in the file, record:

    • Tab name.
    • Brief description of what the tab appears to contain.
    • Level of data:
      • Granular (for example, individual players, transactions, dates), or
      • Aggregated (for example, summaries by category, totals, grouped data).
    • Number of rows.
    • Number of columns.

    You may present this information using a table or clearly organized bullet points.

    File-Level Reflection (Answer in complete sentences)

    For each 2023 fundraising file, answer:

    1. What types of questions might this file help answer?
    2. What types of questions would be difficult or impossible to answer using only this file?

    Part B: Structural Consistency Check (20242025)

    (4 points)

    Next, review the 2024 and 2025 fundraising files.

    You do not need to repeat the full data inventory for these years.

    Instead, answer the following questions:

    1. Do the 2024 and 2025 files appear to follow the same structure as the 2023 files?
      (Consider file types, tab names, units of analysis, and aggregation level.)
    2. Note any meaningful differences you observe, such as:
      • Additional or missing tabs
      • Changes in variable names
      • Differences in aggregation
      • New or missing types of information
    3. Briefly describe one potential challenge these differences could create if you were combining data across years.

    Submission Instructions

    • Submit a single document (Word) to this assignment link.
    • Organize your work clearly with headings for:
      • Part A: 2023 Data Inventory
      • Part B: 20242025 Structural Check
    • This assignment focuses on organization, clarity, and thoughtful observation, not technical analysis.
