I want to prepare a power point slides based on the case study below,
Bagby Copy Company is a worldwide producer of copy machines. It manufactures 10 different copiers, ranging from low-end desktop copiers that sell for a few hundred dollars to high-volume docu- ment machines that retail for over $200,000. Each copy machine requires a wiring bundle. Each bundle contains several hundred wires and connectors that provide circuits connecting the paper-flow units, scanner, and photoreceptor to the internal computer logic. The wire harness is plugged into various components during the assem- bly process. It is possible to assign each major task in this process to different employees. For example, a given employee might focus on one of the many connectors or on testing the completed wire har- ness. Alternatively, one individual might be as- signed the task of producing and testing a completed harness. In either case, there is a group of employees that is assigned individual tasks to produce a wire har- ness for a particular copier. In total, there are 10 subgroups of wire harness makers. One alternative is to place all 10 groups in one wire harness depart- ment. Another alternative is that each of these 10 subgroups can be assigned to and report to a man- ager responsible for a particular copier. Bagby operates in five European countries. Currently, it has separate subunits in each country, where a country manager handles the manufactur- ing and marketing of all 10 copiers. The company is considering two alternatives. One would be to organize its foreign operations around products. In this case, there would be 10 international prod- uct managers with decision rights for managing the manufacturing and sale of a particular copier throughout Europe. The company also is consider- ing a matrix organization, organized around product and country. 1. What are the trade-offs that Bagby faces in choosing between specialized and broad task assignment? 2. What are the trade-offs between these two methods of grouping wire harness makers into subgroups? 3. Which trade-offs does Bagby face in choosing among the country, product, and matrix forms of organizing its international operations?

Here is a data set on bird populations with color variation. The Y gene is autosomal with a Y allele (yellow plumage) and y allele (brown plumage), where Y is dominant to y (Y > y). The survey shows phenotypic frequencies for a large mainland population on the coast of Ecuador and a small island population. The island population was founded in 1960 by a small flock of birds. Thereafter, there has been some gene flow between the mainland and the island. Answer the following questions based on these data.
Census year Mainland Island

1960 4,550 451 4 12
1970 4,157 438 58 78
1980 4,653 399 203 99

A) Why is it essential that glucose is stored as large single particles of glycogen polymerized from up to 55000 glucose molecules, as opposed to large numbers of individual glucose molecules?
B) Glucose 1-phosphate is released from the nonreducing ends of glycogen in the liver. What takes place in order for glucose to enter the blood supply?
C) Why cannot glucose be released to the blood supply from other tissues?
D) Glycogen is a highly branched structure with many nonreducing ends. Why is this important for the function of glycogen?

FINAL MEDICAL ETHICS CASE STUDY
A twenty-year-old Latinx is brought to a hospital emergency room, having suffered abdominal injuries due to gunshot wounds received in gang violence. He has no medical insurance, and his stay in the hospital is somewhat shorter than expected due to his good recovery. The attending physician feels that he can complete his recovery at home just as easily as in the hospital, so he is to be released after only a few days in the hospital. During his stay in the hospital, the patient admitted to his primary physician that he is HIV positive which was then confirmed by a blood test administered while he was hospitalized. When he was discharged from the hospital, the physician recommended that a professional nurse visit him regularly at home in order to change the bandages on his still substantial wounds and to ensure that complications do not develop. Since the patient has no health insurance, he is dependent on Medicaid, a government program that pays for necessary medical care for those who cannot afford it. Medicaid refused to pay for home nursing care since someone is already in the home who is capable of providing the necessary care. That person is the patient's twenty-two-year-old sister, who is willing to take care of her brother until he is fully recovered. Their mother died years ago and the sister is accustomed to providing care for her younger siblings.
The patient has no objection to his sister providing this care, but he insists that no one disclose to her that he is HIV positive. Although he has always had a good relationship with his sister, she is not aware of his sexual orientation. Even greater is his fear that his father, who has extreme religious and cultural convictions, would learn that he is homosexual. Since healthcare providers are bound by a code of ethics that place a high priority on keeping confidentiality, the young Latinx's physician cannot divulge information about his medical condition.
Some would argue that the responsibility of confidentiality is even greater with HIV due to the often unwarranted stigma to homosexuality. This can be devastating for the individual who may not be ready to share their sexual orientation with others. On the other hand, the patient's sister will be putting herself at risk by providing care for him. You have been tasked with researching and providing a report on possible steps to the hospital ethics board.

Jillian is the president of a company that makes small parts for the automotive industry. Customers are primarily auto manufacturers. Jillian's cousin, Frank, works at the company as a sales representative. A promotion to the sales manager position is open. Frank has applied and so has Lisa, another sales representative. While both Frank and Lisa are good employees, they are skilled in different areas, but Lisa has better evaluations from supervisors. Lisa is great with technology and with placing orders. She does an excellent job in following through with ordering problems. She is willing to work weekends and after hours. Frank, on the other hand, is better with customer relations, and customers seem to like him better, but does not follow through on orders as well as Lisa does. Jillian is unsure who to promote. She has several concerns. Her first concern is that it would be expected by her family that Frank should be promoted because he is family. Jillian's second concern is most customers are male, and Jillian suspects that the company's customers would respond better to Frank and purchase more parts from Frank because Lisa is female. Finally, Lisa and Jillian are childhood friends who are very close and Jillian knows that Lisa could use the extra money as a single mother. Define and discuss the WH framework for business ethics, and within that framework propose a solution. Be sure to fully address the populations, purposes, and guidelines included within "W" and "H."

Ezy and Frezy decided to put their passion for baking to good use and they eventually formed “Exim Bakery and Café” to serve pastries and cakes. They were short of cash so they asked their college mate Crezy, who is wealthy, to lend them RM50,000 for the business venture. Crezy agreed on condition that she gets paid RM5,000 per year from the gross returns of the shop and be informed on the progress of the business. She also wants to inspect the accounts. Last week, Ezy was showing her skills in making chocolate muffins in the kitchen and accidentally used diluted dish washing detergent in a bottle which she thought was vanilla essence. Tracy, a customer, bought and ate 5 muffins when it was still warm and fresh from the oven. She suffered severe stomach pain and had to be hospitalised. Recently, a company requested for Exim Bakery and Café to cater for a tea reception. Without consulting Ezy, Frezy convinced the company that Exim Bakery and Café is not able to take on the catering job and that she would highly recommend another café who will cater to the request just as well. In actual fact, the recommended café is a business that Frezy has just started with her boyfriend. They made a profit of RM50,000 for the catering job. Ezy was furious when she found out.
Does a partnership exist between Ezy, Frezy and Crezy? Discuss and support your answer with relevant principles of law.
