Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Additional Information: The briefing to John and the board of directors was a success. You and Shawn believe that it allowed them to understand the challenges associated with managing global human capital effectively and the value of recognizing human capital as a critical part of AGC’s strategic plan. John and the board of directors gave every indication that they understood the sense of urgency needed to align the key global human capital goals with those established for the entire global organization. In fact, they asked you to move ahead with developing global human capital goals for AGC as part of its strategic plan.

You will begin by evaluating the existing organizational culture and analyzing the leadership styles used at each global AGC subsidiary. The company has several global subsidiaries, each with significant cultural differences. Shawn believes that AGC would benefit from an organizational culture that is more proactive and competitive. Likewise, he believes that leadership development programs should focus on styles that recognize the importance of celebrating diversity, empowerment, and innovation.

Review the AGC scenario for this course and discuss the following with your peers:

  • Using AGC as an example, what human capital management problems can arise when an organization does not acknowledge cultural differences at its global subsidiaries? 
  • How can leadership styles effect global organizational culture? 
  • Describe a human capital management goal that Shawn can recommend to change the global organizational culture of AGC.

Need an argumentative essay on Political Science Questions and Answers. Needs to be 3 pages. Please no plagiarism.

Using the concepts of competition and socialization to anchor your analysis, explain what Waltz means when he writes that a structure “may designate a compensating device that works to produce a uniformity of outcomes despite the variety of inputs.” The implication by Waltz is that structure within the global system always focuses on maintaining their outcomes within constricted margins no matter the inputs to them. This is possible due to socialization factors and competition. Socialization results from differences in societies that arise from informal and impulsive techniques applied in the definition of conduct norms. Consequently, the resulting norms control the group members and this discharges diversity and heartens homogeneity. Conversely, competition defines organization where the outcomes facilitate the selection of behavior, where the least successful conducts leave the global system and the triumphant institutes set the pace imitated by others. Q.3. what are the core assumptions of realism, according to Gilpin? How and WHY do Mearshimer’s assumptions differ?

Guzzini reveals Gilpin’s five assumptions: the global system is stable provided no nations attempt changing it. states challenge the system where the benefits arising outdo the expenses incurred. nations seek to system change through economic, politica, and territorial growth up to the point of equilibrium or excess on marginal costs of continued change compared to marginal benefits. the attainment of equilibrium between benefits and costs resulting from additional change and growth causes faster increment in econiomic cost to sustain the status compared to the financial ability to support th status. and failure to resolve unequity causes system changes settles for a novel equity reflection .

While Gilpin’s assumptions focus on the system systematic, and interaction changes within the global system, Mearshimer’s assumptions focus on factors contributing to the endless competition for security amongst nations. Additionally, Mearsheimer argues that given that powerful states operate anarchic environment, they feat and distrust each other leaving each to worry about the objectives of the other on security. Q4. Compare how Lebow and Waltz explain the nature of order and its relevance to the behavior of states on the world stage

Write 2 pages thesis on the topic reconstruction plans. Reconstruction Plans Qsn indeed, President Abraham Lincoln was deferred to US Court to finally legitimize one of his powerful laws of the war. This was the order of the year 1863 that of reconstruction of political system of the US Confederate states. During this time, President Abraham Lincoln transformed the federal system of the confederate states by implementing both interim governance and readmission standards of all the affected nations. This transformation included elimination of slavery from the new constitution and also in the states’ electorates’ reconstruction1. However, President Abraham Lincoln was also afraid that the federal Court might contrary his orders on reconstruction. This was a possibility that encouraged efforts of Republican and resulted in emancipation of Thirteenth Amendment.

President Abraham Lincoln highly supported this amendment to ensure that the new constitution could improve an essential guide for reconstructed states as well as post-Appomattox High Court. President Abraham Lincoln had a belief that the Constitution was appropriate for reconstruction and states’ unity. Both his innate instinct towards decency and impressive education enabled him to become the President a post that enhanced to reunify as improving the entire nation. In the year 1862, Lincoln asked Attorney Edwin to ensure that the rights adhered to all citizens in the nation. The reply of the Attorney General rested on circuit opinion of Justice Bushrod Washington in the year 1823 in Corfield Coryell. Lincoln ensured that the rights abolished slavery. Lincoln’s plans towards reconstruction were depicted in the year 1862 and 1863 when he ordered black to be included in the military.

Qsn 2: reconstruction was an attempt that was started from the year 1865 to 1877in the history of America. The main purpose of reconstruction was to resolve the matters of the Civil War after destruction of both slavery and confederacy. Reconstruction went through three different phases, which include the presidential reconstruction phase, radical reconstruction phase, and redemption phase. The presidential reconstruction phase started in the year 1863 and ended in 1866. This phase was under control of Andrew Johnson and President Abraham Lincoln with the aim reuniting the entire country at a faster rate2. This moderate program was affected by opposition of Radical Republicans a faction that was influenced by 1866 elections. The main aim of the Radical reconstructionwas to improve voting rights and civil rights for the citizens. In the year 1873 to 1877, Republicans were defeated by the Redemption, which took control of all southern states thus resulting in the end of the reconstruction3.

Lincoln’s reconstruction plans started in the year 1861 after the end of the Civil War. The Radical Republicans, who were looking for strict laws used the Reconstruction Congressional Committee as their base. In the year 1863, President Abraham Lincoln started his restoration plans. His plans imposed a very sharp opposition towards the Congress radicals, who had the belief that the old planter will simply restore4. The assassination of Lincoln and the costs of the Civil War increased the anger of the Northern Statesleading to demand of strict policies. Andrew Johnson who was the Vice President of the time had a challenging time and suggested of hanging the entire rebel Confederates and letting the ex-Confederates to continue with the Southern control. Jefferson Davis was taken to prison for a period of two years but there were no trials. Lincoln banned the Wade-Davis Radical plans of the year 1864.

Assignment 2: LASA 1: Executive Report

You have just been hired by Gracie Faye International (GFI) as a cost accountant. The company was named for the internationally popular Toka player, Gracie Faye. The company was started by John Smith who, in his basement, crafted a toka ball and beautifully strong toka stick for his daughter, Tresha, who played on a local team.

Tresha’s team saw the benefit of Tresha’s well-crafted equipment, and soon after, John was asked to equip the whole team. After the team won the championship, he was taking orders for the whole league and soon the whole toka world was knocking on John Smith’s door.

From simple beginnings, GFI has branched out to other sports, taking their brand of solid construction to new heights. Their ping pong table is known as the elephant’s dancing table, since ping-pong star Kevin “The Elephant” Pelinsky leapt onto a GFI table to dance across the net after he won a championship.

Founder Smith was quoted soon after saying, “all of our products have elephant dancing quality.” Their bleachers sales skyrocketed after the collapse of a competitor in the early ‘90s, and a Department of Parks and Recreation remodeled all their baseball fields with GFI electronic scoreboards and their batting cages with GFI automatic pitching machines.

The CFO (your new department head) has asked you to prepare a report to submit to the top management of the company. It would seem that the CFO did not do a very good job justifying your position and what you can do for the company.

The CFO would like for you to explain cost accounting, as well as present information to the management team on product costs for the production of toka balls, specific job order costs for special order products and provide costing information for two models of pitching machines currently offered.

You will present all of this information in a management report divided up into four separate sections as described below.

PART 1: In this section of the report, your job is to explain cost accounting and what skills you can bring to the company. The CFO feels you should include an overview of what cost management is and some of its applications. Be sure to discuss the opportunities available in the cost accounting and how it relates to corporate strategy. This section of your report should be approximately two pages in length.

PART 2: In this section of the report, you are asked to classify the product costs for the production of toka balls. Classify each cost as:

  • fixed or variable
  • direct or indirect

Complete the table and include it in your report. The management team will require justification for each cost (i.e. why you classified the costs as you did).

        Product CostVariableFixedDirectIndirect

        Electricity

        Real Estate Taxes

  Wood for toka sticks

        Leather to tie wood together

        Manufacturing Labor

        Water

        Lubricants for Machinery

        Equipment depreciation

Use Microsoft Excel to calculate your answers for Parts 3 and 4 and cut and paste the calculations from Excel into your report to show your work.PART 3: The third section of the report should contain your computations for the month of July based on the information given below. The following information is available for a GFI division that produces electronic scoreboards. These are special order products that use a job order cost accounting system. The management team wants to see your calculations in your responses.

June 30

July 31

Inventories

      Raw materials

62,000

75,000

      Goods in process

85,000

      Indirect labor

132,000

      Other overhead costs

220,000

Sales in cash

3,500,000

Predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost

52%

Compute the following amounts for the month of July.

  1. Cost of direct materials used.
  2. Cost of direct labor used
  3. Cost of goods manufactured.
  4. Cost of goods sold. (Do not consider any underapplied or overapplied overhead.)
  5. Gross profit.
  6. Overapplied or underapplied overhead.

PART 4: In the last section of the report, the management team would like to know the profits they can expect from the two models of pitching machines they currently manufacture. The softball pitching machine and the hardball machine make up the entire product line. To help determine the profit of each individual product, the CFO wants overheads to be allocated back to the products. Total inspection costs are $40,000.

The estimated production budget is as follows.

Softball pitching machine

Units

20 units

Direct labor hours per unit

200 hours per unit

Number of inspections

5 per unit

Hardball pitching machine

Units

20 units

Direct labor hours per unit

200 hours per unit

Number of inspections

15 per unit

  1. Under a costing system that uses direct labor hours as a driver for the allocation, how much of the inspection costs would be allocated to softball machine?
  2. Repeat the same question for hardball machine.
  3. Using ABC and the number of inspections as a driver for allocation, recalculate the allocation for the softball machine.
  4. Repeat the activity mentioned in question 3 for hardball machine.

You know that your report will be shared with senior level managers and eventually to the board of directors. However, you are uncertain whether or not you will be allowed to present your work at a later time or in a different manner. Therefore it is important that your report is well written, professional, includes an introduction and a conclusion, and follows APA standards.
