Abstract
The paper argues that once vocational technology students enter the real world of professional employment they find themselves handicapped if they cannot communicate fluently in English and write basic narratives without mistakes. The paper provides an interview with an employer to illustrate the point that illiteracy harms the first impression of employees in interview situations, complicates interactions with customers and retards their professional success by limiting their advancement potential. The paper includes an annotated bibliography.
Outline:
Introduction
The Cost of Illiteracy in the Professional Environment
Case in Point: Interview with an Employer
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Among vocational technology students, there exists a belief by many that college-level proficiency in English is not required for professional success. They consider English fluency comparatively unimportant in highly mechanical fields in relation to their technical skills and sometimes react to college writing requirements as wastes of their time, since their vocational training and experience will determine their value in the job market and not their English writing ability.
"While it is true that their primary course of study is the technical training, these students are mistaken as to the value of English literacy and the consequences of failing to achieve a working fluency in the spoken language. Likewise, they may never again be required to compose a researched essay assignment once they secure employment in their chosen field, but they will almost certainly encounter situations at work that require them to use some of the basic writing skills that mandatory college writing classes are designed to instill."

Abstract
This paper examines the determinants for organizations to offer both low and high price products. The author defines and discusses the four determinants: competition, technology, consumer heterogeneity and markets. The paper also gives examples of organizations adopting this approach and lists the possible reasons for them doing so.
From the Paper
"Thus, a company famous for its luxurious products is not likely to start producing/selling cheap products under the same brand as the expensive one. Aston Martin is a good example for this case. The car brand has stood as a symbol for luxury lifestyle for a long time and between 1994 and 2007 it was a division of the Ford Motor company. In this interval Ford Motor never tried to manufacture a cheap vehicle under the same brand, which could have jeopardized the brand's image and indirectly its value."

Risks in Project Management, 2008.
This paper attempts to determine to what degree it is possible to meaningfully manage risks in project management.
1,092 words (approx. 4.4 pages), 5 sources, APA, £ 27.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains the elements of the project risk management process that aims to minimize project risk and discusses the value of a detailed and concise risk register. The paper then discusses the importance of breaking down risks and categorizing them as to their impact and likelihood in affecting project completion and identifies four ways to handle risks. The paper looks at the positive outcome of risk management and concludes by answering the question posed at the start of the paper, namely, to what degree is it possible to meaningfully manage risks in project management. The paper asserts that one can manage risks to the degree the project manager and the project team prepared their project management plan to the minutest detail possible.
From the Paper
"When there is an absence of threat or vulnerability, it is said to be risk-free. In project management, the astute project manager endeavors to mitigate the risks involve in implementing a project but doing so goes only as far because there is no such thing as a risk-free project. Risks are typically unforeseen events, which can cause adverse impact to any project. Risks can happen to any one of the major parameters of a project namely its schedule, scope, resources and quality. (Smartworks, 2003) The best way to humor the existence of risk is to always think about Murphy's Law, "If anything can go wrong it will!" Thus, a prudent project manager will always perform risk management and analysis in all aspects of the project life cycle whether it is in the initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and control, and closeout phases. This is not to say that the project manager is being paranoid but rather he or she is performing due diligence to ensure that the project will encounter risk that is no more than necessary."

4,249 words (approx. 17.0 pages), 10 sources, APA, £ 80.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Information technology (IT) jobs are amongst those most frequently being outsourced to other countries, especially to third world nations. There is a complex set of reasons behind the outsourcing of these jobs that cannot easily be dissected. This research attempts to simplify the overall picture of IT outsourcing, and to project the future of outsourcing of IT jobs in America.
Outline:
Introduction
Literature Review
Information Technology
Corporate Reform
Globalization and Outsourcing
Government Outsourcing
From the Paper
"Economically, when the state and federal governments are outsourcing IT jobs to India, and other third world nations, the predicted result is that those nations will see an increase in education and training for IT and IT related jobs. That the outsourced jobs will serve to jumpstart industries, employment and growth in a third world country. That this growth, especially in a field that will continue to experience growth such information technology, will serve as an economic stabilizer for the country where those jobs are outsourced to. That this economic stabilizer will serve America well in economically linking that nation to America, creating a political cohesion that will replace economically what has long been established militarily as an ally between nations. This will bring the third world nation into the work market and global community with strong ties to the United States, and it would, from a political perspective, follow that those nations would be supportive of US initiatives on the world front in matters of economic and strategic importance to the United States".

Abstract
The paper discusses the conflict and decision making that occurs in organizations. The paper uses the Orangewood Childrens' Home as a case study. The paper points out that both conflict and decision making are part of organizational behavior, and they are both important, as both contribute to group dynamics and the sense of community that can be built within an organization.
Outline:
Introduction
Conflict
Decision Making
Combining Conflict and Decision Making
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In other words, the differing opinions of people on the inside and how they react to ideas for the future of the organization are often related to the reactions of those on the outside. People within the organization can provide new and innovative ways of looking at a problem or idea. In this way, conflict is actually good (Eisenhardt, 1999). It is better to spot a problem within the organization than for the employees to keep silent and let the problem make its way out to where the public would be the first ones to notice it. This could cause a much larger problem for an organization than a little bit of internal conflict would, and this is why many organizations choose workgroups that will have some conflict. Orangewood is one of those organizations that has carefully chosen their groups to have just the right amount of conflict to stimulate decision making without creating groups that only want to fight with one another."

Abstract
The paper explores the extent of the problem of child exploitation for corporate profit in third world nations and discusses how public outcry can reverse corporate practices in these poor countries. The paper is of the opinion that it is time to begin implementing the rules and standards by which members of the community expect corporations to conduct themselves.
Outline:
Introduction
The Exploited Children - Beginning in America
South America to Pakistan
Public Outcry Can Reverse Corporate Practice in Third World Countries
From the Paper
"As our world's economies grow, so do multinational corporations (MNC). Many of those corporations feel the pressure to stay competitive. In doing so they choose to ignore the social economic impact and the human rights violations they inflict on society, especially in third world nations where child welfare is not just second to the corporation's profit, but serves as a vital source of support for impoverished families. The effect of this social disregard and need is that a generation of young children will forgo school and the opportunity education holds for them in lieu of earning, in some cases, below US minimum wage to contribute to the support of their family. Negative social and political implications arise out of exploiting third world impoverished labor, especially child labor. These same children perceiving developed nations, especially America, as a country whose pursuit of profit is ruthless and uncaring, and it casts a shadow over how these young people will grow up and perceive all Americans."

Brand Reinvention, 2008.
An analysis of McDonalds' brand reinvention.
806 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 5 sources, MLA, £ 20.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper shows how the brand image of McDonald's has gone through a number of reincarnations, from stressing the fact that fast food was hot, cheap and relatively inexpensive to stressing its status as a value-based company that offers tasty food. The paper shows how McDonald's tried but could not totally reconfigure their brand. The paper explains that McDonald's could just reconfigure the core elements of the product that made it so popular in the first place and could eliminate the more objectionable elements like marketing to kids.
From the Paper
"The name McDonald's is virtually synonymous with the idea of 'branding.' The idea of McDonaldization seems to imply the standardization and Americanization of both culture and food. However, the brand image of McDonald's has in fact gone through a number of reincarnations, over the company's long history. One of the most notable shifts occurred when the company shifted from its slogan of "You deserve a break today," or "It's a good time for the great taste," to "Mmm...I'm lovin' it." "
