Incrementalism (Referred to as the slippery slope, incrementalism describes how we unconsciously lower our ethical standards over time through small changes in behavior.)

Discuss “change” in terms of how it can make or break a business. Do some light research and find which brands/companies have successfully made changes. Which were not successful? What would have happened if they had not changed and remained stagnant?

1. Be sure to demonstrate appropriate and meaningful professionalism for the intended audience which include proper pace, tone, inflection, pronunciation, and meaningful gestures that convey clarity.
2. Be sure the audio included in the video is clear and free of technological glitches that diminish the audio quality.
3. Be sure the visual appearance of the video is free of technological glitches that diminish the visual quality.

Amanda Ltd is a manufacturing company operating in Parramatta, Sydney. The company has been successful since its inception in the early 1990 and has even won twice the “Best Corporate Citizen Award” presented by the City of Parramatta Council. The company has recently been facing multiple problems including declining profit, loss of inventory (through theft or spoilage) in the warehouse, and declining reputation from its stakeholders. Coincidently, all these problems started when the head of Accounting Department, Sofia Bryant, voluntarily retired from her position recently. Her retirement was provoked by a sarcastic comment made by the Sales Manager during board meeting, that “Amanda Ltd can cut down its cost by shutting down Accounting Department. Afterall we will even be better off without this department”. You are required to conduct research (i.e. reviewing relevant academic and professional journals, and/or texts) and write a business report by addressing the questions below.

Discuss how Accounting and Governance helped Amanda Ltd in winning the Best Corporate Citizen Award.

Explain how using perpetual inventory system could help Amanda Ltd to minimise the loss of inventory.

How would the application of the principle of segregation of duties could prevent the loss of inventory at Amanda LTD?

This assignment builds on Globalization and Culture (Steger, 2017, p. 80) involves both the homogenization, and hybridization of cultural practices throughout the world. This assignment invites you to consider how the dynamics of cultural globalization shape your own lived experiences.

Instructions: Your task is to choose any ONE specific cultural product, experience, or expression, and explain how it reflects the dynamics of cultural globalization. You may, for example, choose to consider the ways in which a particular food you enjoy or music you listen to demonstrates the phenomenon of ‘glocalization,’ or perhaps how the adoption of a Western style of dress or the global popularity of an American movie reflects the phenomenon of cultural homogenization. Investigate your chosen example by exploring one or two credible outside sources for further information (e.g. news sites, business websites, magazine articles, music videos, etc.). Once you have a good amount of detailed information about your specific cultural product, experience, or expression, use theoretical and empirical details drawn from your readings, and related learning materials to explain precisely how your example demonstrates the phenomenon of cultural globalization. Remember to properly reference all ideas and information using APA referencing format, to avoid the serious academic offense of plagiarism.

The school district recently adopted the use of e-textbooks, and the superintendent is interested in determining the level of satisfaction with e-textbooks among students and if there is a relationship between the level of satisfaction and student classification. The superintendent selected a sample of students from one high school and asked them how satisfied they were with the use of e-textbooks. The data that were collected are presented in the following table.

Table 1: Student Classification (N=128)

Questions

1. Of the students that were satisfied, what percent were Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior? (Round your final answer to 1 decimal place).

2. State an appropriate null hypothesis for this analysis.

3. What is the value of the chi-square statistic?

4. What are the reported degrees of freedom?

5. What is the reported level of significance?

6. Based on the results of the chi-square test of independence, is there an association between e-textbook satisfaction and academic classification?

7. Present the results as they might appear in an article.
