INTL729: FREIGHT FORWARDING:

Global Freight Management Assignment F’17

Due Friday Jan. 5, 2018 – 20%

To be completed in Student TEAMs of maximum 4

Must be submitted in-class or the School of Business Dropbox (Hardcopy only)

Alice Johnson is materials and distribution manager for Global Logistics Enterprises. She is responsible for all transportation, distribution, materials, and purchasing for her firm.

Alice’s company has just been awarded a new contract that will involve moving medicines from Toronto to Yemen in the area of conflict with Saudi Arabia to be delivered to Medicin Sans Frontier (Doctors Without Borders). She has hired your organization as her freight forwarder, consultant and agent. You have identified two transportation choices:

1) move the freight by water, which takes 45 days, and

2) move it by air, which only takes 4 days, door to door.

The relevant costs in Susan’s decision are as follows:

· freight by water is $2650 with delivery to the dock in New York costing $385 and pier to plant delivery in the Middle East of $225. The air move would be $4,850 for door-to-door service

· documentation using the water mode would be $180 whereas the air move would cost $275 insurance by water would cost $780 per move; with air it would be $260

· packing and crating by water would be $675 per shipment; with air it would only involve stretch wrapping a special set of pallets for a total cost of $120

· the company hurdle rate (opportunity cost of capital) is 11%

· the value of the goods is $1,600,000 per shipment

Questions

1.    Introduce the project by creating a Freight Consulting Company, writing an introductory letter and a MARKETING document that fully outlines the company background and credentials that qualify you for the role of freight consultant to assist Alice. (see text)

2.    Calculate are the total costs of each method of shipping?

a.    Without the holding costs (opportunity cost of capital)?

b.    Including the opportunity cost of capital?

3.    Fully outline the other criteria that you would consider to ensure the product’s safe arrival (packaging, insurance & government partnerships with respect to security, TDG? What other government departments are involved?

4.    Research the most appropriate complete routes and ALL modes that will be used in each case and outline them on a map. Select your mode/route and fully justify your decision on mode(s)?

5.    Explain the recommended INCOterm and transportation payment terms would you recommend for Global. Justify your answer. Complete the accompanied ICC Model Contract for the transaction and explain your decisions in it. Append the completed contract to your paper.

Application: Outline and Annotated Bibliography

Now that you have selected a topic and researched scholarly resources for your Capstone Project, it is time to create an outline and an annotated bibliography. The outline should list the major and minor subheadings with a brief description of what will be covered in each. Outlining a major project before you begin provides a concrete plan to follow and guides your writing as you develop your project. You are also required to create an annotated bibliography for your project. In creating the annotated bibliography you summarize the content of each scholarly resource and explain its relevance to your topic. Completing these two steps in the Capstone are necessary precursors to writing and completing your Capstone Project.

To prepare for this assignment:

  • Review the document Writing an Annotated BIbliography to learn how to prepare and to view examples of outlines and annotated bibliographies. Also consult the APA style and usage guidelines available in the Writing Center.
  • Think about the content the might be included in an outline of your Capstone Project.
  • Consider the scholarly resources you have found thus far. Be sure to use these in your annotated bibliography.

The assignment (1–2 pages):

  • Compose an outline for the Capstone Project.
  • Compose an annotated bibliography using APA style.

An annotated bibliography should include the following elements:

I.FULL BIBLIOGRAPHIC DETAILS

Example

Gathman, A. C., & Nessan, C. L. (2010). Fowler’s stages of faith development in an honors science-and-religion seminar. Zygon, 32(3), 407–414.

II.A SUMMARY OF THE RESEARCH METHOD AND ITS FINDINGS

Example

The authors described the construction and rationale of an honors course in science and religion

that was pedagogically based on Lawson’s learning cycle model. In Lawson’s model, the student

writes a short paper on a subject before presentation of the material, and then writes a longer

paper reevaluating and supporting his views. Using content analysis, the authors compared the

answers in the first and second essays, evaluating them based on Fowler’s stages of development.

Examples of student writing are presented with the authors’ analysis of the faith stage exhibited

by the students, which demonstrated development in stages 2 through 5.

III. A CRITICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE ARTICLE

•Here are some questions you might address at this point:

•Was the research question well framed and significant?

•How well was the research related to the existing body of knowledge?

•Did the article make an original contribution to the existing body of knowledge?

•Was the theoretical framework for the study adequate and appropriate?

•Has the researcher communicated clearly and fully?

•Was the research method appropriate?

•Is there a better way to find answers to the research question?

•Was the sample size sufficient?

•Were there adequate controls for researcher bias?

•Is the research replicable?

•What were the limitations in this study?

•How generalizable are the findings?

•Are the conclusions justified by the results?

•Did the writer take into account differing social and cultural contexts?

Example

The authors made no specific effort to support spiritual development in the course. They were

interested in the interface between religion and science, teaching material on ways of knowing,

creation myths, evolutionary theory, and ethics. They exposed students to Fowler’s ideas, but did

not relate the faith development theory to student work in the classroom. There appears to have

been no effort to modify the course content based on the predominant stage of development, and

it is probably a credit to their teaching that they were able to conduct such a course with such

diversity in student faith development. However, since Fowler’s work is based largely within a

Western Christian setting, some attention to differences in faith among class members would

have been a useful addition to the study. There was no correlation between grades and level of

faith development.

A STATEMENT OF THE VALUE OF THE ARTICLE

Here it is helpful to comment not only on the findings but also on what you might have learned about research methodology, including both research approaches and instruments (interviews, questionnaires, published pen and paper tests, and so forth) that you might adapt for your own research purposes.

Example

Fowler’s work would seem to lend itself to research of this sort, but this is the only example found

in recent literature. This study demonstrates the best use of the model, which is assessment. While

the theory claimed high predictive ability, the change process chronicled is so slow and

idiosyncratic that it would be difficult to design and implement research that had as its goal

measurement of movement in faith development continuum.

Write an essay on one of the Minima Moralia entries not discussed in the two lectures. The lecture on Thursday will include discussion of 15 and 16, and this discussion could serve as a model.  You are welcome to talk to your Professor about appropriate entries to choose. The following are among those that might be discussed in class, and if so do not write on them:

3, 5, 6, 9, 15, 16,17, 22, 66, 67, 100, 152, 153

Your paper should show not only a thorough understanding of the entry you chose, but should show familiarity with Adorno in general. You are encouraged to refer to other passages from the Adorno reading.  It is very difficult to write a good paper for this assignment without having read Minima Moralia thoroughly and carefully.  

Do not start the paper before the second Adorno lecture.

You are welcome to talk to your TA about appropriate entries to choose. What about entries like 29 or 72, which are not single essays but collections of one or two sentence pieces? It is of course possible to write a good paper on one of these more fragmentary pieces, but I would recommend that you check with your TA to see what she or he thinks. Personally, I would not recommend it. It is of also fine to choose one of the entries not assigned on the syllabus; there are a lot of other good ones.
