the US work culture ranks is very high on Hofstede's individualism vs. collectivism (toward individualism). this would seem to suggest American work culture resists teamwork in favour of individual work. do you think that's the case? why do you think some people resist the idea of working in teams? how do you feel about working in teams?

Our text tells us that the behavior of group members is shaped by the workgroups, which " help explain individual behaviors as well as the performance of the group." ( Robbins & Judge, p.139) There are several defining group properties including roles, norms, status, size, cohesiveness, and diversity. Pick three and give a brief explanation of how each might affects the workgroup positively and/or negatively.

Who were the three different stakeholder groups who were heavily impacted by Madoff and explain why?

I may use individual names that have been impacted within the group. However, provide the name of the group and then the individuals name in any way.

The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation is fast becoming a requirement for serious investment professionals. It is an attractive alternative to getting an MBA for students wanting a career in investment. A student of finance is curious to know if a CFA designation is a more lucrative option than an MBA. He collects data on 50 recent CFAs with a mean salary of $140,000 and a standard deviation of $52,000. A sample of 80 MBAs results in a mean salary of $131,000 with a standard deviation of $14,000.

Assume that μ₁ is the population mean for individuals with a CFA designation and μ₂ is the population mean of individuals with MBAs. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table)

a. Set up the hypotheses to test if a CFA designation is more lucrative than an MBA at the 10% significance level.

• H₀: μ₁ − μ₂ = 0; H_A: μ₁ − μ₂ ≠ 0

• H₀: μ₁ − μ₂ ≥ 0; H_A: μ₁ − μ₂ < 0

• H₀: μ₁ − μ₂ ≤ 0; H_A: μ₁ − μ₂ > 0

b-1. Calculate the value of the test statistic. Do not assume that the population variances are equal. (Round all intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

b-2. Find the p-value.

• p-value 0.10
• 0.05 p-value < 0.10
• 0.025 p-value < 0.05
• 0.01 p-value < 0.025

• p-value < 0.01

c. At the 10% significance level, is a CFA designation more lucrative than an MBA?

The politicians believe that an automated future can generate enough taxes to provide a guaranteed income for all citizens. In fact, in 2017 Finland began an experiment in universal basic income where all 2000 participants receive $600 per month regardless of income, wealth and employment status.

Question 1: Using either the categorical imperative or utilitarianism, is universal basic income ethical? If so, is it appropriate? Why or why not?

Question 2: What other solutions can be developed to address the negative consequences of automation? Please elaborate?
