Discuss the direct target of the policy in terms of size and other demographic characteristics.

n this course, you have learned that social policies are formulated to solve social problems considered important by a mass of voters, media, and political actors. Social policy is but one solution to the problem—not necessarily the most rational, effective, or socially just. Social policies are human creations and, as such, can be changed. In this paper you will analyze a social policy as a tool for social justice.

Research one social welfare policy using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet.

Analyze the policy and address the following:

The social problem addressed by the policy

What is/are the problem/s to be solved in the most fundamental terms?
What is the history of the problem/s in the United States?
What are the various theories about the causes of the problem/s? Based on this, what do you think is/are the most important causes/s of the problem/s?

The policy objectives, value premises, expectation, and target populations

Policy objectives—overt and covert objectives: What are the stated objectives of the policy? In your judgment, what are the covert objectives of the policy?
What are the values underlying the policy objectives? What values are revealed by the overt and covert objectives?
What did the policymakers expect would be the result of the policy?
Target segments of the population at whom policy is aimed: Discuss the direct target of the policy in terms of size and other demographic characteristics. Who are the indirect targets of the policy?

Effects of the policy

Intended effects: What effects did the lawmakers intend?
Unintended effects: What effects did the lawmakers not foresee?
Distinguish between short-range (less than five years) and long-range (over five years) effects of the policy.

Implications of the Policy

Changes in the distribution of material resources: Are there any changes to the distribution of material resources, including income and other tangible benefits, as a result of the policy for direct or indirect target groups?
Changes in distribution of services, rights, and statuses: Are there any changes in services, rights, or statuses as a result of the policy?

Alternative Policies

What alternative policy/policies would more effectively address the social problem discussed in the policy analysis while advancing social justice?

Assume you need to build a confidence interval for a population mean within some given situation.

Assume you need to build a confidence interval for a population mean within some given situation.  Naturally, you must determine whether you should use either the t-distribution or the z-distribution or possibly even neither based upon the information known/collected in the situation.  Thus, based upon the information provided for each situation below, determine which (t-, z- or neither) distribution is appropriate.  Then if you can use either a t- or z- distribution, give the associated critical value (critical t- or z- score) from that distribution to reach the given confidence level.
a. 99% confidence n=150 σ known population data believed to be very skewed
Appropriate distribution:
Associated critical value:
b. 95% confidence n=10 σ unknown population data believed to be normally distributed
Appropriate distribution:
Associated critical value:
c. 90% confidence n=40 σ unknown population data believed to be normally distributed
Appropriate distribution:
Associated critical value:
d. 99% confidence n=12 σ unknown population data believed to be very skewed

Explain if this company should be using a job-order or process-costing system to accumulate costs (1 page).

Total fixed expenses are $400,000 per year.

All three products are sold in highly competitive markets, so the company is unable to raise its prices without losing unacceptably large numbers of customers.

The company has a very effective lean production system, so there is no beginning or ending work in process or finished-goods inventories.

Using the internet, research break-even point and costing systems. Analyze the case based on your research and what you have learned so far in the course.

Respond to the following:

Calculate the company’s overall break-even point in total sales dollars. Explain your methodology (approximately 2 pages).
Of the total fixed costs of $400,000: $20,000 could be avoided if the Velcro product were dropped, $80,000 if the Metal product were dropped, and $60,000 if the Nylon product were dropped. The remaining fixed costs of $240,000 consist of common fixed costs such as administrative salaries and rent on the factory building that could be avoided only by going out of business entirely (approximately 2 pages):
Calculate the break-even point in units for each product. Explain your methodology.
Determine the overall profit of the company if the company sells exactly the break-even quantity of each product. Present your results.
Evaluate costing systems for this company. Explain if this company should be using a job-order or process-costing system to accumulate costs (1 page).

Be sure to include your calculations in Microsoft Excel format.

Determine viable organizational structures by addressing the key considerations in organizational structure, applying the process of division of labor, and adapting basic structural formats.

The 20th and 21st centuries have produced many business leaders, such as corporate giants like Jack Welch of GE, Daymond John of FUBU, Steve Jobs of Apple, and Herb Kelleher of Southwest. In addition, many hip-hop moguls have risen to prominence, such as Sean Combs, aka P Diddy, of Bad Boy Records; Russell Simmons, founder of Def Jam; and Sean Carter, aka Jay Z, of Rock Nation.

Regardless of their business models and industries, organizational leaders are expected to create realistic visions for their companies and the people that they guide. However, such visions often result in vastly different leadership styles. Therefore, experts have concluded that there is no one best leadership style geared towards guiding employees and companies to accomplishing organizational goals.

Using the Internet and Strayer databases, research your favorite senior executive (CEO, CFO, COO, Director, President, Founder, etc.) from any organization that has made a strong impact on his or her industry (fashion, music, food, banking, technology, automotive, etc.).

Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:

Describe the overall leadership style(s) of your chosen senior executive.
Analyze the organizational structure and culture of the company your chosen executive has led, or is currently leading, and determine the company’s approach to human capital management and employee development. Next, explain whether or not you believe your chosen senior executive’s leadership approach has enhanced workplace productivity and the shared vision of the organization. Provide one to two (1-2) examples of your chosen senior executive’s actions to support your response.
Evaluate the effectiveness of your selected leader’s performance, based on his or her ethical conduct and effective communication. Next, determine whether the chosen leader was successful in motivating and empowering his or her employees and gaining customer loyalty.
Determine three (3) best practices that other organizational leaders can use in order to motivate employees and transform their company, based on practices that you believe made your chosen leader successful at his or her company and within his or her industry. Support your rationale with an explanation of the potential benefits that other business leaders may reap from your chosen best practices.
Use at least five (5) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

Explain the multiple aspects of the managerial planning process and the application of various business- and corporate-level strategies.
Analyze the importance of ethical behavior to an organization’s culture and the new ethical dilemmas created by globalization.
Determine viable organizational structures by addressing the key considerations in organizational structure, applying the process of division of labor, and adapting basic structural formats.
Explain the principal theories of leadership and motivation, and describe the fundamental considerations in managing and motivating individual and group behavior.
Describe actions to improve communications, manage conflict, develop strong organizational culture, and improve the ethical behavior in organizations.
Use technology and information resources to research issues in management concepts.
Write clearly and concisely about management concepts using proper writing mechanics.
