    Many  potential employers and managers considering employees for promotion  will ask you to reflect back on your educational accomplishments.  Prepare a summary of the work you completed as a student in your BA/BS  program at APUS/AMU.

A well developed, easy to read and interesting  portfolio is just one more way to separate yourself from your  job-seeking competitors. In this section of your portfolio, tell the  reader how you have organized your portfolio and how they can navigate  the various sections. In the introduction, explain why you chose the  program and concentration. Include a brief description of your courses,  the program objectives that you achieved, as well as an overview of the  important concepts learned in class. Conclude with your assessment of  how the overall program met your professional and personal goals and how  your degree will enhance your career path.

    you will choose one (1) social  problem related to health, healthcare, and/or

     
    you will choose one (1) social  problem related to health, healthcare, and/or aging: physical or mental  health disparities of race, class, or gender; inequities in access to  quality healthcare or insurance; or ageism (discrimination against the  elderly) or elder abuse.  
    Think about which theoretical perspective best applies to the problem  (functionalism, conflict, symbolic interaction, or feminist theory). 
    Consider the different research methods that are used to investigate  social problems (quantitative – survey, experiment, existing data or  qualitative – interviews, observations, focus groups, and archival  research) and determine which would be best for researching your topic.  
    Assignment Instructions:  
    Pretend you are applying for a grant to fund your research. Write a  letter with an overview of your research proposal. Include the following  components: 
    Follow letter writing format, with the date at the top and Dear  Grant-Funding Institution or To Whom It May Concern. Write in paragraph  form, left-aligned with no indentations and a space between paragraphs  with single or 1.5-spacing and 12-point readable font. 
    Discuss the problem you are researching and why it is important,  including how prevalent or widespread it is (using recent stats within  five years). 
    Explain your theoretical approach. (In other words, apply one of the sociological perspectives to the problem.) 
    Describe which research method you will use and the rationale for  the choice (i.e., why it is applicable). Also, describe two (2) other  research methods and why you chose not to use them. Evaluate the  strengths and limitations of the three research methods. 
    Explain how you plan to utilize the research method. For example, if  you chose survey research, who would you survey and what would you ask?
    Discuss any ethical issues in researching the problem. How would you  avoid harming your research participants physically and/or  psychologically? If using existing data, how would you determine whether  the data was collected in an ethical manner?
    Conclude by thanking the institution for their consideration and close with a farewell greeting and your name. 

  • The key to achieving logistical leadership is to master the art of matching oper

    The key to achieving logistical leadership is to master the art of matching oper

    The key to achieving logistical leadership is to master the art of matching operating competency and commitment to key customer expectations and requirements. This customer commitment, in an exacting cost framework, is the logistics value proposition. It is a unique commitment of a firm to an individual or selected customer groups.
    The typical enterprise seeks to develop and implement an overall logistical competency that satisfies customer expectations at a realistic total cost expenditure. Very seldom will either the lowest total cost or the highest attainable customer service constitute the appropriate logistics strategy. Likewise, the desired combination will be different based on the supply chain application and different for unique customers. A well-designed logistics effort must provide high customer impact while controlling operational variance and minimizing inventory commitment. Most of all, it must be relevant to the customer. Remember the EERS model from Chapter 1!
    Significant advances have been made in the development of tools to aid management in the measurement of cost/service trade-offs. Formulation of a sound strategy requires a capability to estimate operating cost necessary to achieve alternative service levels.
    Leading firms realize that a well-designed logistical system can help achieve competitive advantage. In fact, as a general rule, firms that obtain a strategic advantage based on logistical competency establish the standard of performance for their industry. Amazon, in recent years, is the best example of a firm using logistics to create a competitive advantage with its famous Prime service.
    The Work of Logistics
    In the context of supply chain management, logistics exists to move and position inventory to achieve desired time, place, and possession benefits at the lowest total cost. Inventory has limited value until it is positioned at the right time and at the right location to support ownership transfer or value-added creation. If a firm does not consistently satisfy time and location requirements, it has nothing to sell. For a supply chain to realize the maximum strategic benefit from logistics, the full range of functional work must be integrated. Decisions in one functional area will impact cost of all others. It is this interrelation of functions that challenges the successful implementation of integrated logistical management. Bowersox Figure 3.1 provides a visual representation of the interrelated nature of the five areas of logistical work: (1) order processing; (2) inventory; (3) transportation; (4) warehousing, materials handling, and packaging; and (5) facility network. Integrated work related to these functional areas creates the capabilities needed to achieve logistical value.
    For our Unit 2 DB, select and research a leading company known for Logistics Value Generation. Assess and explain how they create competitive advantage through their execution of each of the five areas of logistical work (see above). In reply to two of your classmates, compare and contrast their company’s Logistics Value Generation with your company’s Logistics Value Generation.

    Most literature indicates that public administrators use mostly quantitative me

    Most literature indicates that public administrators use mostly quantitative methods.  
    Public administrators conduct research to plan, solve problems, and support their decisions. They must collect data to support these tasks and other courses of action.
    QUESTION:
    What can qualitative research offer that quantitative methods cannot offer to support these public administration tasks: (1) plan, (2) solve problems, (3) support their decisions ?
