The TOPIC OR SUBJECT is yours to choose with only one restriction: It must be related to a Management issue in some way, that occurred within the last two years and this needs to be stated explicitly in the paper. Unrelated papers will receive an F. 1) This paper should be double spaced, 12 point type; APA format. 2) The paper should start with an Introduction (one or two paragraphs with a clear purpose statement indicating the paper’s major points) after which will be your MAJOR section headings, probably three to five of them, then the Summary, and last the Bibliography. 3) It must be written in the THIRD PERSON. (No“you” or “we” or “I” references except in direct quotations.) 4) You MUST reference all 3 of your texts in this paper. 5) Penalties for late paper: 1 letter grade deducted from grade for each calendar day late. 6) Submit in the following order: a) Cover sheet with title, date, your name and class. b) The body of the report (which should have headings and possibly subheadings) begins with an introduction on page 1. The text continues on page one with your first major heading and topic, and ends with a summary on the last page. The body should be three to five pages and all the information should be documented (referenced) as explained. Use transition sentences between sections. c) Next is the Bibliography; make sure to use APA format. 7) REFERENCES: Your paper will consist mostly of paraphrasing the writing of others with a few relevant direct quotations. What you contribute is summarizing, transitional writing, logical flow of ideas, and combining the ideas and research of others. Use books as a last resort because your sources need to be current (within the last three or four years). This is a general rule of thumb: (1) **approximately 3-4 references per page. (2) **approximately 1-2 sources per page in total. This means if your paper is five pages, you will have about 6 to 10 different works (use a variety of periodicals, articles, books, interviews, etc.) from which you have gathered data. (3) **approximately1 or 2 direct quotations per page. (If longer than four lines, single space and indent both margins.) 8) Remember a SUMMARY contains no new information. This is not a CONCLUSION but a summary of the main points of your paper. 9) Review the paper rubric for grading criteria.

Based on Barry Holtz’s chapter on Midrash, write a short paper discussing this genre of biblical commentary. What are the purposes of midrash? How does it work? What is it about the origins and nature of the Torah’s text that makes midrash possible? To illustrate your discussion with a specific example, analyze a section from Midrash Rabbah on the Book of Genesis (section 9 on page 8 in your printouts). Midrash Rabbah on the Book of Genesis contains a (fictitious?) dialogue between a Greek philosopher and R. Gamaliel about a precise meaning of the account of creation in the first chapter of Genesis. After carefully studying the dialogue, analyze the two interpretations of the account of creation introduced in the dialogue. In order to do that you will have to read the first chapter of Genesis, especially Gen 1:1-19. Its text is potentially ambiguous. Apparently R. Gamaliel and the philosopher interpret this text in two different ways. What is the difference? Why is it so important from theological point of view? A well-written paper will have a concise introduction to the general topic of the paper, a clear thesis statement, and a carefully developed argument with specific examples supporting the thesis statement. Your paper should be written according to the following guidelines. Your paper should be no longer than three pages (typed, double-spaced) and should concisely, clearly express the results of careful thought and prior drafts. In the paper you turn in, don’t waste space with filler material. Avoid generalities not supported with specific analysis and evidence. Anchor your paper in careful analysis of Holtz’s article and Midrash Rabbah, not in broad generalities about Judaism. You should cite specific passages from Holtz and Midrash Rabbah to support your argument. Do not, however, include long quotations of passages. You are writing for an audience that has read these texts. Instead, quote only what is absolutely necessary for your analysis. Make every paragraph, sentence, and word count. In three pages you don’t have space to waste. The first paragraph of your paper should include a succinct statement of what you are going to argue to answer the questions posed by this assignment. The following paragraphs should develop your argument to support the thesis that you have stated in your opening paragraph. Your final paragraph should build on your argument to lead the reader into some implications of your thesis and argument for understanding the nature of midrash. Again, your argument must be supported by specific evidence from Holtz and Midrash Rabbah. You are trying to persuade the reader to agree with your thesis statement. This assignment is not a research paper, but you should (as appropriate for your argument) interact with the readings and class discussions for the course. You are also free (but not required) to pursue outside reading. In any case, do not pass off the ideas of others as your own. Footnote your use of the ideas of others. For general citation guidelines, see Sources, Their Use and Acknowledgement (https://www.dartmouth.edu/~sources/). Use the note method of citation. In general, material from the Internet has little value in lending support to your argument because most of the material has not been critically evaluated. Anyone can say anything on a Web page. Before you use information from the Internet, you must carefully evaluate its reliability. You have to ask yourself, for example, from where the information is coming. Don’t believe something just because it is on a Web page. You will lose points on your paper if you uncritically use material from the Internet. If you choose to include material from the Internet, you must cite the source of the information.

Final Paper A sociologist must be able to analyze racial and ethnic differences in different national contexts. Race and ethnicity are constructed differently in different places and at different times. For example, in the United States, race is defined in a way such that two children with the same biological parents cannot possibly be of different races. In contrast, some countries, such as the Dominican Republic, define race in a way that would allow for siblings (born of the same parents) to be placed into different racial categories. In order to develop this skill, you will select a particular country and analyze the ethnic stratification within that society. For this assignment, you must focus on ethnic stratification and conflict, including evidence of prejudice and discrimination. In addition to a description of the selected society and its ethnic groups, include an analysis of similarities and differences in the society’s ethnic stratification system as compared to the United States. Use the country of Japan for comparison to the United States in terms of the ethnic stratification system. The following information should be included in your Final Paper: • Title • Describe the selected country’s society, focusing on ethnic groups, stratification, and conflict. • Provide examples of the ethnic problems in that society, including evidence of prejudice and discrimination. • Discuss what the experts say about ethnic problems (or ethnic harmony) in the selected country’s society. • Compare the selected country’s society to society in the United States. Evaluate similarities and differences related to ethnic groups, stratification, and conflict, using specific examples gathered in your research. • Conclude with reflections and thoughts about ethnic groups and the societies in which we live. • References Academic research papers must meet certain standards of quality recognized by the academic community. What constitutes quality, academic research? • Primary (original) sources written by experts in the field of study. • Secondary sources supported by research in primary sources. • Credible sources (experts in the field; well-known theorists; sources which use primary and secondary sources to support claims). • Relevant research (materials are pertinent to the area of study). • In graduate work, the use of peer-reviewed journal articles (journal articles reviewed by recognized experts in the relevant field of study) is required. • Educational and government websites (those ending with a web URL suffix of .edu or .gov) may be appropriate in some cases but should be evaluated carefully. Writing the Final Paper: • Must be 10 double-spaced pages in length (excluding title and reference pages), and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. • Must include a title page with the following: o Title of paper o Student’s name o Course name and number o Instructor’s name o Date submitted • Must begin with an introductory paragraph that has a succinct thesis statement. • Must address the topic of the paper with critical thought. • Must end with a conclusion that reaffirms your thesis. • Must use at least seven scholarly resources, including a minimum of three from the Ashford University Library, as well as the primary text. • Must document all sources in APA style, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. • Must include a separate reference page, formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Using the regression results and the other computations from Assignment 1, determine the market structure in which the low-calorie frozen, microwavable food company operates. Use the Internet to research two (2) of the leading competitors in the low-calorie frozen, microwavable food industry, and take note of their pricing strategies, profitability, and their relationships within the industry (worldwide). Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you: Outline a plan that will assess the effectiveness of the market structure for the company’s operations. Note: In Assignment 1, the assumption was that the market structure [or selling environment] was perfectly competitive and that the equilibrium price was to be determined by setting QD equal to QS. You are now aware of recent changes in the selling environment that suggest an imperfectly competitive market where your firm now has substantial market power in setting its own “optimal” price. Given that business operations have changed from the market structure specified in the original scenario in Assignment 1, determine two (2) likely factors that might have caused the change. Predict the primary manner in which this change would likely impact business operations in the new market environment. Analyze the major short run and long cost functions for the low-calorie, frozen microwaveable food company given the cost functions below. Suggest substantive ways in which the low-calorie food company may use this information in order to make decisions in both the short-run and the long-run. TC = 160,000,000 + 100Q + 0.0063212Q2 VC = 100Q + 0.0063212Q2 MC= 100 + 0.0126424Q Determine the possible circumstances under which the company should discontinue operations. Suggest key actions that management should take in order to confront these circumstances. Provide a rationale for your response. (Hint: Your firm’s price must cover average variable costs in the short run and average total costs in the long run to continue operations.) Suggest one (1) pricing policy that will enable your low-calorie, frozen microwavable food company to maximize profits. Provide a rationale for your suggestion. (Hints: In Assignment 1, you determined your firm’s market demand equation. Now you need to find the inverse demand equation. Having found that, find the Total Revenue function for your firm (TR is P x Q). From your firm’s Total Revenue function, then find your Marginal Revenue (MR) function. Use the profit maximization rule MR = MC to determine your optimal price and optimal output level now that you have market power. Compare these values with the values you generated in Assignment 1. Determine whether your price higher is or lower.) Outline a plan, based on the information provided in the scenario, which the company could use in order to evaluate its financial performance. Consider all the key drivers of performance, such as company profit or loss for both the short term and long term, and the fundamental manner in which each factor influences managerial decisions. (Hints: Calculate profit in the short run by using the price and output levels you generated in part 5. Optional: You may want to compare this to what profit would have been in Assignment 1 using the cost function provided here. Calculate profit in the long run by using the output level you generated in part 5 and cost data in part 3 and assuming that the selling environment will likely be very competitive. Determine why this would be a valid assumption.) Recommend two (2) actions that the company could take in order to improve its profitability and deliver more value to its stakeholders. Outline, in brief, a plan to implement your recommendations. Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia does not qualify as an academic resource. 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: Analyze short-run and long-run production and cost functions. Apply macroeconomic concepts to changes in global and national economies and how they affect economic growth, inflation, interest rates, and wage rates. Evaluate the profit-maximizing price and output level for given operating costs for monopolies and firms in competitive industries. Use technology and information resources to research issues in managerial economics and globalization. Write clearly and concisely about managerial economics and globalization using proper writing mechanics.
