 DQ1In “Business Model Innovation in Practice,\” Euchner and Ganguly (2014) discuss the challenge of implementing innovations within organizations that are naturally resistant to change. They present a systematic approach for integrating innovations to increase the likelihood of acceptance and success. Review their five-step approach and discuss how the four functions of management (planning, organizing, leading and controlling) can be leveraged within in their suggested approach to assist organizations in implementing successful innovations.

Conducting a z-TestA researcher predicts that watching a film on institutionalization will change students’ attitudes about chronically mentally ill patients. The researcher randomly selects a class of 36 students, shows them the film, and gives them a questionnaire about their attitudes. The mean score on the questionnaire for these 36 students is 70. The score for people in general on this questionnaire is 75, with a standard deviation of 12. Using the five steps of hypothesis testing and the 5% significance level (i.e. alpha = .05), does showing the film change students’ attitudes towards the chronically mentally ill?

NPV Calculation for Capital Budgeting A project requires an initial investment of $200,000 and expects to produce a cash flow before taxes of 120,000 per year for two years (i.e., cash flows will occur at t = 1 and t = 2). The corporate tax rate is 30%. The assets will depreciate using the MACRS – 3-year schedule: (t = 1, 33%); (t = 2: 45%); (t = 3: 15%); (t = 4: 7%). The company\’s tax situation is such that it can use all applicable tax shields. The opportunity cost of capital is 12%. Assume that the asset can sell for book value at the end of the project. Calculate the NPV of the project (approximately). Based on your results, please explain in a one page write up whether or not you would accept or reject the investment. Provide at least two scholarly references to support your paper. Your paper should be formatted in APA style. 

Part 3: Corrections John Smith has just been transferred to the department of corrections intake/reception center. He was advised by the classification officer that it would be difficult for him to obtain employment once he was released, and placing him into a reentry program could be beneficial for him. He was genuinely surprised by the classification officer’s statements and decided to take the advice of the intake officer. •Address the following in 400–600 words: ◦Assume you are the classification/intake officer. You want to ensure that Mr. Smith succeeds by creating a case plan that fits his needs. ◦Evaluate one prison program that is currently implemented in your state that you think could benefit Mr. Smith. Address the following;◾Describe the program and discuss how this would benefit Mr. Smith. ◾Be sure to discuss how he would benefit from each stage of the process. ◾Discuss all program components and evaluate the success.◾That includes evaluating recidivism statistics.

Veterans Administration Medical Center, Washington, DC In the  article we read this week, Atul Gawande described how excess care is provided – and excess costs incurred – in McAllen, Texas, compared with other places.   This article and the work of researchers at Mayo, Dartmouth, and elsewhere, resulted in many policymakers advocating for the elimination in variations in care and, importantly, variations in cost between geographic communities. 1.  2.   

In this assignment, you will select one of the claims listed below. Using what you know about the topic, describe at least four claims that might commonly be made that display some of the errors in reasoning covered in this module\’s readings. You may have to do a bit of research to find popular positions on these topics. For example, if the claim is: Children should not be allowed to play violent video games. Then four common claims about the subject might be:And the errors they represent might be:Because Select one of these topics. Using what you know about the topic and additional research you conduct, describe at least four claims that might commonly be made that display some of the errors in reasoning covered in this module\’s readings.Write your 600-word response in the Microsoft Word document format. Name the file , and submit it to the  by . 

   PART I1. What does Stanley Milgram\’s \”Perils of Obedience\” have to tell us about efforts to standardize professional ethics? What does Milgram believe is the relationship between the obedience and individual morality? And how would Milgram evaluate Edward Snowden\’s decision to leak classified information about what he believed to be unconstitutional practices within the NSA?
2. Using MacIntyre\’s theoretical framework (that is, by reference to terms like \”internal goods,\” and \”external goods\”), explain why someone who loves the child depicted in MacIntyre\’s \”chess\” example might offer her some candy to play chess when she doesn\’t want to play? And why might one offer her twice as much candy if she plays well? Refer directly to the paragraph in \”The Nature of the Virtues\” where this is discussed, making sure to explain all its relevant aspects.3. Consider Seumas Miller\’s comments on Searle’s discussion of deontic powers:

How would Searle respond, do you think? Do you find anything objectionable in Miller\’s claims here? Explain clearly. 


4. Should scientific institutions take account of social or political pressures in determining the best course of action in solving scientific problems? Can they avoid doing so? For instance, in discussing the medical community\’s desire for \”clean\” trials, Epstein writes that some treatment activists argued:          the defense of science put forward by mainstream researchers was an ideology designed to promote the kind of science they happened to do as the only kind that could be called science. (p. 423)

Is there merit in this charge?


5. According to Heinz Leugenbiehl, \”professional ethics cannot simply be the subject of abstract philosophical analysis. It needs to be looked at in the context of particular cultural domains.\” Explain why he believes this to be the case, using his case studies as the basis for your argument. And how, if at all, might this relate to MacIntyre\’s argument for the different definitions of virtue across the ages?
6.  On page 426 of Steven Epstein’s essay, in discussing Gieryn’s “boundary work” thesis he argues that the “recent reconfiguration of the boundaries (Gieryn 1983) between the “inside” and the “outside” of biomedicine has been the outcome of struggle.” Can the same be said for the “inside” and “outside” of engineering and its subfields?Your task here is to do an analysis of a moment of “struggle” over norms within engineering, and questions of relevant expertise. Examine the discourse around the official NIST investigation of the collapse WTC Building 7, and determine:

   1.    whether that investigation was conducted in a way that conformed to the norms of engineering-based investigations of this sort. Determine whether the investigation sought to, and did successfully, answer the relevant questions raised about the fate of the building, or whether legitimate questions remain; and

   2.    how organizations critical of the NIST narrative have fared in making a case for their own expertise as a basis for rejecting the official narrative (an example of such a group would be Architects & Engineers for 9/11 truth, www.ae911truth.org). In your view, is this an organization whose voice should be considered an expert one?Why or why not?

Some potential resources (there are many others):
