In the last three weeks we focused on the customer along with procurement and manufacturing strategies, information technology. We then became familiar with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Information Systems (SCIS), and Customs-Trade Partnerships Against Terrorism (C-TPAT). Chapter Six will expose you to operational integration. In this chapter you will be reading about sales and operations planning (S&OP) and forecasting.

The supply chain provides the framework in which logistical strategies help to achieve business success. In a 4 page word APA format write a paper giving an overview of the process above up to this point. The focus is the logistical strategies within the supply chain. Please remember sources such as Wikipedia and blogs are not acceptable academic resources. Required: Title page, in-text citations, and reference page and APA format. Text is as below.

Literary Research Essay Instructions

(1000+ words)

MLA Format

 

In this assignment you will offer an interpretation of a text or texts that we have read together this semester or one that is somehow closely related.[1]  You will choose a text, formulate a thesis that offers an interpretive stance based on your analysis of the text, and your body paragraphs should interact with the text in such a way that you use the text to prove/argue your claim.

 

You must incorporate at least three scholarly sources into your text.  These can be incorporated in a variety of ways, but they should indicate your research into the scholarship already published in your topic, thus strengthening your position by situating within the larger scholarly community.

 

Hints:

• Reading before writing – the more informed you are on a subject, the easier and more effective your writing will be.

 

• Scholarly sources – these are found almost solely through the databases accessed through the library. Scholarly sources are published by universities or organizations affiliated directly with academic endeavors.

 

• Hard work – there is no shortcut to quality research. Recognize that this will take hours of your time, and do not procrastinate.  Sloppy and/or rushed research usually leads to failing grades.

 

• Revision – rewriting is often the difference between passing and failing or an A and a B. It is not enough to simply spell check or grammar check; you must rework every aspect of your essay in painstaking detail to make sure it is as clear and well-executed as it can be.  A repetition of small mistakes becomes a sizeable one, and the most salient point that is not well presented becomes nonsense.
• Argument, not Summary – remember your job is not to summarize the text for your reader; instead, quotation, paraphrase, and summary of the text should only be employed to illustrate the arguments that you make. Limit yourself to short quotations, and make sure that each are placed within an argument and effectively argued after they are used.
• Show, don’t Tell – even though your essay is all about your voice and your argument, stating something as fact without explanation does not make it so. Instead, everything that you Tell your reader must be Shown.  The essence of showing is argument.  Explain and argue every point that you make.
• Plagiarism – review the chapters related to properly citing, quoting, paraphrasing, and summarizing another’s work, because you will be dealing with a variety of sources.

 

[1] While you may make reference to a work or works that you have already written on this semester, your main focus for this essay, including the primary work, the thesis, and the subordinate arguments, must be original both to you and this particular assignment.  The only stipulation for a “closely related text” is that it be a text that was not written after the Renaissance.

analyze the affect of instagram. Of course, mass culture does not simply shape the consciousness, the thinking, the values of Americans, but also reflects these things. However, in this paper, you should concentrate on how it shapes. Ask yourself how the aspect of mass culture you are discussing influences how we view ourselves, others, society, relationships, whatever is relevant. Of necessity, this will be highly speculative, but try if possible to base your speculating on your own experiences or what you have observed.

The term paper assignment is to analyze an issue of current interest in international finance. Ideally this task will involve an application of the analytical tools learned in the course and/or other economics courses to an international economic policy issue. The student’s task is to (1) define the issue narrowly enough to make the topic workable, (2) include the most relevant background information on the subject, (3) analyze the problem from an economic viewpoint and (4) recommend policies or strategies that would improve the current situation or solve the problem. Support your arguments with economic concepts and data whenever possible. Prepare this paper as if you were putting together a consultant’s report for policy makers of a government, executives of a firm, or an individual client involved or interested in the issue. Your job is to provide an overview of the issue, an analysis of the economic efficiency and/or economic interests involved, and your opinion as to the best policy that the government, firm, individual or organization should pursue. Format The text should be approximately 10-12 pages long, typed and double spaced, and should not exceed 15 pages. This page count does not include the executive summary and any tables and charts you may wish to provide, but any such exhibits should be related to points made in the text. Clarity of presentation, neatness, spelling and grammar count, not only in the grade you receive now, but in any presentation you do for the rest of your professional career. In addition, the paper should include citations in the text (or through footnotes or endnotes) attributing critical information and ideas to their proper sources. You may use any system of citation you wish, such as references plus a bibliography, footnotes, or endnotes, and based on any standard reference style. Make sure to identify website sources with the URL address. Beware of relying on information from website sources of dubious origin. Executive Summary In addition, you are required to include, at the beginning of the paper, an executive summary (abstract) of approximately 1 to 1½ pages (double spaced). This is a standard feature of most reports in business, banking and government and will help you to focus your thoughts in describing and summarizing your work in a concise manner. Preliminary Draft TurnItIn Option Students are expected to follow the guidelines for scholarship and citation as presented in the Babson College Student Handbook. All students will be expected to follow the honor code regarding the originality of their work. In this connection, there are two TurnItIn submission files on the course Blackboard site,”Assignments” page. Each student may use, but is not required to use, the TurnItIn preliminary submission facility, to receive an originality report. This report will show how much of your text matches text from external sources (articles, books, other papers, internet sources, etc.). Remember that you are can quote other sources as long as they are properly identified and cited; just remember that you should use quotes sparingly, so that you have room to present your own thoughts on the term paper topic. Students can generate their own originality report by using the “Preliminary Draft” TurnItIn folder before the final term paper submission, in order to check the citations and sources used in their term papers. If you do this, please examine the originality report carefully to determine that you have adequately documented your sources, and have followed the guidelines for academic integrity contained in the student handbook. In addition, please remember that it may take 24 hours after a preliminary draft submission is submitted before the originality report is generated, depending on the volume on the TurnItIn server. Final paper submissions should be made to the final draft submission Turnitin file on the Assignments page. If for some reason the Turnitin facility is not operating correctly, the backup plan is to email your final paper directly to me, at kjones@babson.edu). Deadline All final papers will be due on Wednesday, April 29 at midnight (Wednesday 11:59:59 PM). Late papers will receive a penalty of one full letter grade for each day the paper is late. Late penalties will be strictly enforced. Checklist: Before submitting your paper, please check the following items: 1) Have you corrected any spelling and grammar mistakes? 2) Have you sought help from the Writing Center, or a qualified proofreader, if necessary? 3) Have you numbered your pages? 4) Have you included relevant charts, tables and/or statistics to enhance or support your presentation, wherever applicable? (Note: all exhibits should have a supporting discussion or explanation in the text of your paper) 5) Have you included an executive summary? 6) Have you given proper credit to your sources, including tables and charts, through a system of either footnotes or citations?
