Suppose that an economy has a Cobb-Douglas production function with three inputs. K is capital (the number of machines), L is labor (the number of workers), and H is human capital (the number of college degrees among workers). Markets for output and factors of production are both competitive. The production function is Y = K^1/3*L^1/3*H^1/3

1. Prove that this technology shows constant returns to scale.

2. Solve the competitive firm’s profit maximization problem by deriving the first-order conditions.

3. An unskilled worker earns the marginal product of labor, whereas a skilled worker earns the marginal product of labor plus the marginal product of human capital. Find the ratio of the skilled wage to the unskilled wage. How does an increase in the amount of human capital affect this ratio?

Requirements

Analyze Cigna organization’s external and internal environments.

Evaluating the organization's internal environment is also critical. This requires evaluating such functional areas as clinical operations, information systems, marketing, clinical support, human resources, financial administration, and so on. In an internal environmental analysis, leaders carefully examine each function or organizational subsystem and then develop and analyze a list of strengths and weaknesses for each.

External Environment

Clinical Operations – Strengths and Weaknesses

Information systems – Strengths and Weaknesses

Marketing – Strengths and Weaknesses

Clinical support – Strengths and Weaknesses

Human resources – Strengths and Weaknesses

Financial administration – Strengths and Weaknesses

Internal Environment

Clinical Operations – Strengths and Weaknesses

Information systems – Strength and Weakness

Marketing – Strength and Weakness

Clinical support – Strength and Weakness

Human resources – Strength and Weakness

Financial administration – Strength and Weakness

The topic of this week's forum is a broad one--humanity's future. You have learned how human evolution has been shaped by forces such as the physical environment, antagonistic and symbiotic relationships with other species, disease, and human cultural interactions. Now share your predictions for the future of human evolution. What biological changes in humans will occur over the next centuries? How might forces such as climate change, disease, genetic technology, and globalization affect us? Do you think our physical appearance will change substantially (are we going to grow ever-enormous brains for example)? Try to apply what you have learned about evolutionary and biocultural forces in making your predictions. You are free to be imaginative and speculate here--so long as you provide a rationale for your predictions!

Consider this scenario:

I am the owner of a burger store and I want to expand my business.

I need to prepare a human resource management plan to show an overview of my human resource management system.

This plan is the bigger picture that shows the synergy between all my human resource management functions.

I need to do to an overview on how important my employees (chef, waiters, restaurant manager) are in making or breaking my business expansion.

Please provide me with an appropriate answer on how to show the synergy between all my HRM functions (Recruitment, selection, training, performance appraisal) in my expansion plan.

Note:

If you are not sure how to fulfill the requirements needed, please do not attempt the question.

Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Essay The Human Genome Project   (No more than 3 pages, 1.15 spacing, Calibri or other standard font)

write an essay summarizing the Human Genome Project (HGP). Using a narrative format, include in your essay:

the goal and scope of the HGP

the research groups and countries that worked on the Project

the time period of the project and critical dates

the key research techniques and technologies that played major roles in the project

the key findings about the human genome

At least two major reasons why studying the genomes of other species is important to biology?

Two-three accomplishments and two challenges resulting from the completion of HGP, as expressed by some of the leading scientists, 10-15 years later.

Your thoughts about learning about the HGP and its promises and challenges.

Deliver a 700- to 1,050-word transcript of the speech you would give, including the following:

• Discuss factors that lead to genetic variations in a population by using the Hardy-Weinberg law that describes allele frequencies in a population.
• Explain how animal behaviors, including human behaviors, are governed by genetic inheritance.
• Explain how the laboratory mouse has become a valuable model organism for the study of development and genetics.
• What other animal models are used?
• What contribution(s) has research using Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster made in the study of animal behavior and population genetics?
• Elaborate on the future of human disease diagnosis using the data from the Human Genome Project.
• Provide sufficient examples to make the speech relevant to high school students.

Do we have a moral obligation to the non-human biotic network of life and inanimate matter? Sometimes, this vast network is called 'the environment'. Human influence upon the environment has been profound, in the last few thousand years, but particularly so in the last 300 years, with the start of the Industrial Revolution that has helped to make our species ubiquitous and dominant among the other species. One a small side-line species, now, human beings are 'king of the hill'. The price of this dominance is overdevelopment, pollution on an epic scale. As we survey our natural world and what our species has done to it, often for the worse, what moral obligation have we to change our manner and collective 'footprint' on the planet - and other planets, if we include our nascent space programs?

1. What are some of the reasons that staff may be resistant to or even fearful of evaluation?

2. How could evaluation be made non-threatening or even valued for workers in human service agencies?

3. What is the administration’s role in evaluations?

4. Think of the agency where you currently work, or the one in which you wrote about earlier in the module, when answering the following questions:

How effective is the agency's planning and program design in responding to the needs of the social problems/customer it was intended to address or provide services too?

Does the agency have effective human resources and supervision practices to ensure success to meet the agency's goals?

What are the administrative roles in the agency and how does this affect staff, clients, and the human service agency environment?

Does the agency formally evaluate itself?
