This assignment, which is based on the Lowe Art Museum on the University of Miami campus in Coral Gables, whose permanent collection contains Greek pottery from the time period that we are studying in Unit 2, requires students to trace the development of Greek pottery, by examining the various techniques and quality of naturalism that evolved over the course of approximately four centuries.

student will select four objects in the collection to analyze: one (1) from the Geometric period; one (1) from the Orientalizing period; one (1) object utilizing the black-figure technique; and one (1) utilizing the red-figure technique. Pay close attention to each of the object’s stylistic features, describing each element and integrating into your analyses comparisons to object(s) we have studied in the textbook or in lecture from the PowerPoints. When selecting objects to compare the Lowe museum pieces to, be discerning. That is, try to find objects that share more characteristics than not.

The aim of this 5-7 page (excluding printed imagery of the objects, which may be either wrapped in the text or placed at the end of the document and labeled), double-spaced, typed assignment is for students to develop an eye for style and locate the subtle differences that distinguish one technique or tendency from another.

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on Business and Economic Forecasting. It needs to be at least 500 words.

ant to note here that increase in wage rates will also results in increase in the spending power of the consumers and consumers will be willing to pay more for the products, thus it can have some positive effect on the economy. On the other hand the increase in the transportation costs will have double fold negative impact on the economy as the consumers will have to also bear the increased in the transportation costs. Hence, there can be different economic scenarios during different economic times. For instance, during the economic boom the increase in wage rates will not have strong negative impact on the economy, as the people will be ready to pay more for the products. However, the increase in the transportation costs will negatively influence the economy. But the increase in wages will have greater overall effect on the economy.

On the other hand during recession the increase in the wages will have less positive and more negative impact, as still people will be more inclined towards saving and hence will be reluctant to pay more for the products. Similarly the increase in the transportation costs will have negative influence on the economy. Hence, it can be said that the wages will have more effect on the state of the economy in different time periods. So the slope value of wages will be high as compared to that of the transportation costs in the multiple regression formula (Hoshmand, 2009).

During regression analysis and evaluating regression models it is important to check that whether the regression model is efficient or not. For this purpose different tests and methods are used by the researchers. One method used in this regard is the R2 test. The researchers use The R2 test in order to check whether the forecasted values are closely related and associated with the original values or not. This means that the high value of R2 depicts that there are less or few errors and residuals in the regression model.

If the value of R2 is closer to one it means that

Case Study 13.1: Global Health and Safety Concerns (Global, Romania, UK, Ghana)

Increasingly, MNEs are recognizing a duty to take care of their global workforces. In this case, we take a short look at two situations in which global firms have been confronted with crises due to unexpected health and safety problems among their global employees and the potential consequences of not taking seriously enough their duties of care.

Work-Life Balance (WLB) for Overworked Professionals in Emerging Markets

Sometimes, in emerging markets, the eagerness to succeed can lead to employees working lots of overtime and neglecting their private lives and personal health in stark contrast to the WLB notions of their multinational employers. Thus, even though it was never the intention of 31-year-old Raluca Stroescu of Romania, an audit manager for Ernst & Young, to work herself to death, that is essentially what happened in May 2007. Her friends and family relate that she had been working every day and her local management had not accepted her missing even one day. Within the three weeks prior to her death, she had been working on an important audit project and had lost a lot of weight, reaching less than 40 kilos (88 pounds). Her case was widely discussed in Eastern Europe and according to local public opinion it was considered the first case of a death due to overwork.

The central debate in these discussions was whether young professionals in emerging markets really do want work-life balance or would really rather trade WLB for advancement, fame, and fortune. Many (maybe most?) young professionals in emerging markets work very hard because exciting developmental opportunities are opening in their countries and there always seem to be new and interesting projects in which to become engaged. They do it because they receive recognition for their achievements, better annual reviews, and better chances for advancement. They also do it because they do not want to fail. They fear that if they slow down or take a break someone else will take their place.

In many emerging markets, there is the feeling that WLB is a concept that is valued only in the West; it is of no concern or interest in their own countries. MNEs may have the long-term well-being of their employees in mind, but young professionals in the emerging market subsidiaries must overcome the “we have to catch up with the rest of the world” mentality.

Potential Consequences of Sending an Expatriate on a Foreign Assignment with Inadequate Preparation

Kate Cawthorn, a young British trainee solicitor (attorney), was sent on a traineeship assignment to Ghana on very short notice (three days). Because of the short notice, she was unable to get the necessary vaccinations (her law firm did not provide any advice as to what preparations she should make and gave her no time to prepare) and they provided no support after arrival. On her first day in the country she contracted a severe dose of shigella dysentery. She continued to try to do her job for five weeks, with no medical tests or treatment, but finally needed to fly home for medical care. Her symptoms got worse, which left her unable to complete her internship and thus unable to complete her qualifications to become a solicitor. She never recovered well enough to go back to work. Eventually Kate sued her employer for a high six-figure sum. Not only did her firm not provide adequate preparation and advice, but they also showed too little concern about the implications of the locale of the assignment and its consequences for her career.

Discussion Questions

  • 1 Are WLB issues different in newly developing countries from what is experienced in developed countries? Why or why not? Is there a trade-off between WLB and career ambition?
  • 2 What is an employer’s duty to prepare its employees for foreign assignments?
  • 3 What is the employer’s responsibility if something happens to its employees while on foreign assignment?
  • 4 What is the responsibility of IHR in both of these circumstances? How could IHR have prevented these situations from occurring and having such dire consequences?
