Briefly explain the alternative form of payment that you researched and how it works as an alternative to traditional cash.

Discussion 1 Topic
It has been said that compound interest is “man’s greatest invention.” The sentiment is very much true. More wealth likely been created through the concept of compound interest than any other mechanism. Famous financial advisor Dave Ramsey Links to an external site.often illustrates the power of compound interest through the story of Ben and Arthur.
Ben starts saving $2,000 a year ($165 a month) at age 19, stops saving at age 26, and never saves another dime. His brother, Arthur, starts saving the same amount later—at age 27—but saves until age 65, almost his entire life. Ben saved for 7 years and Arthur saved the same amount for 38 years. With a 12% rate of return, guess who came out ahead at retirement?
The answer is Ben would have $2,288,996 while Arthur would only have $1,532,166. Ben has nearly $750,000 more money even though he saved for 31 years less than Arthur, all because he started at a younger age and compound interest had more time to grow the investment.
To check your status, it is generally accepted that you should be meeting the following benchmarks to retire by age 67:
By 30: You should have the equivalent of your salary saved
By 40: You should have three times your salary saved
By 50: You should have six times your salary saved
By 60: You should have eight times your salary saved
By 67: You should have 10 times your salary saved
What this means is the younger you can get started investing for retirement, the better. In this chapter we have discussed the various forms of investments, from bonds, to stocks, to mutual funds. Consider the benefits of each type of investment as you respond to the discussion questions.
Questions
Answer the following:
Assume that you are meeting the benchmarks described above, which means you have the equivalent of your annual salary saved by age 30 (or 3 times your salary by age 40). How would you invest that money to make sure you are on track to retire? Would you use bonds, stocks, mutual funds? Provide a rationale for your choice?
What challenges do you feel prevent young people from saving? What can you do to overcome those challenges?

Discussion Topic

How much cash do you have on you right now? Check your wallet, purse, and pockets, and see what you have. Do you have enough to make change for a twenty-dollar bill? Not so long ago, you could ask a roomful of people that question, and most folks would have the cash on hand to make change. These days, it’s less common. Think about the last five or six purchases you made. Did you pay with cash? Chances are good that you used a debit card or a credit card instead. Consider the possibility that someday debit and credit cards will disappear, too.
Technology has had a profound impact on our view of the necessity of cash. As we move towards a “cashless” society, the banking system is also challenged to adapt its processes and the services it provides.
Go beyond what you learned in the course module, and research some of the forms of “virtual currency” or cash alternatives that are currently available to consumers. Some of these include digital currencies, EFT, ACH transactions, iPay, Google Wallet, ePayments, direct draft.

Answer the following:
Briefly explain the alternative form of payment that you researched and how it works as an alternative to traditional cash.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of this form of payment?
As a consumer yourself, do you use any forms of cash alternatives? Which ones? Do you have concerns about the security of this payment method, and if so, what can you do to mitigate these?

Discussion 3 Topic
As we have learned in this chapter, undercapitalization is the number one reason why businesses fail. Simply put, undercapitalization means the company does not have enough money to survive during times when revenue (income) does not meet expectations. Two of the primary ways that companies raise capital is through either debt or equity financing.
Debt financing is when a company borrows money to be paid back at a specified future date, and a specified interest rate. Equity financing, on the other hand, is the process of raising capital through the sale of ownership in the company (most commonly through stock). Imagine you have a small business that you anticipate will grow quickly, and you need to raise money. Consider the pros and cons of debt financing and equity financing as you respond to the discussion questions.

Answer the following:
If you were looking to raise money for your small business, would you choose debt or equity financing? Justify your choice with specific reasons.

Explain why training is such a critical factor in expatriate success.

Please refer to the “Case Study” below and complete Part 3. (3 pages)

Background:
Fit 4 Life is a fitness chain throughout the United States. They recently decided to open up four new gyms in Florence, Italy, with the objective of growing the organization globally and establishing an international presence.
The premise of Fit 4 Life’s strategy is that clients use gyms as a social event. They promote clubs, small groups and large events throughout the month to encourage clients to come together socially as well as to work out. Each club has a general manager and 3-5 fitness instructors who provide support for the clients and the events.
The organization has decided to use this expansion as a pilot project and if all goes well, they will consider spreading out across Europe and South America. This is a strategic endeavor, so it is important that the organization finds an effective formula to operate successfully in the global arena.
The organization has hired you to provide consultation on how they should proceed.
Part 3 (Due at the end of Week 7)
This assignment allows you to demonstrate mastery of the course outcomes 1 and 4:
⦁ Demonstrate the inter-cultural competencies of an effective citizen
⦁ Analyze and assess global human resource policies, practices, and functions in order to meet an organization’s goals and objectives while maintaining the values and traditions of the local culture
The organization has hired four general managers. The success of these managers is vital to ensure the success of the expansion into the international market. You are asked to propose the content and format of a 3 day training program for the new managers. Typically, this will consist of some pre-departure training, as well as some in country training upon arrival.
Your task is to put together a proposal for the training program. Your proposal should include three sections:
⦁ Importance of Training. Explain why training is such a critical factor in expatriate success. Present an argument for this, using literature and statistics. See: “Learn to support your arguments” in week 7 readings (file attached).
⦁ Importance of Intercultural Competency. Describe intercultural competency and why it is important for these managers. How are you going to assess intercultural competency?
How are you going to include this in the training?
⦁ Proposal for 3 day training. Create an agenda for three days of training. Include topics to be addressed and rationale. See example:

Research Paper: Ethics + Personal Responsibility
ASSIGNMENT SHEET
POINT:
The Research Paper is worth 150 points.

Below the list of source entries, write a list of in-text citation parentheticals to show how you would write a correct parenthetical for each source on your list. (You will need to delete those when you copy/paste your source entries into your final Research Paper draft, of course.) You do NOT need to include sentences with the parentheticals. I will give feedback on the source entries and parentheticals that you can use to correct the source documentation on your Research Paper before it is due. **NOTE: An example of what your Preliminary Works Cited assignment should look like is posted by the link you’ll use to submit it.

LENGTH REQUIREMENT FOR THE RP:
The final draft of the Research Paper must be a minimum of 5 FULL pages PLUS a works cited page that is NOT part of your minimum page length requirement. The maximum length of the paper is 7 pages. You are welcome (and encouraged) to use visual images in your paper, but they will not count as part of your page length. Any research paper that is shorter than 4 FULL pages will receive a ZERO. Papers that are longer than 4 pages but shorter than 5 full pages will receive a significant point deduction.

SOURCE REQUIREMENTS:
The paper must have at least 5 SOURCES and no more than 7. At least TWO sources must be print sources OR database sources (journal articles) from the Dallas College library site. ALL sources must be credible – no Wikipedia, blogs, etc.

The paper must not have ANY plagiarism of any kind; all source information must be referenced in the text of your essay AND on the works cited page. You must have in-text citations, at least some of which must be parentheticals. All in-text citations should match the 1st word or words of your works cited page source entries. No source should be in the works cited page list unless it is used in the essay’s text, and all in-text citations must have full, 9th edition MLA source information written on the works cited page. Whether you are paraphrasing or using direct quotes, you must include citations that give credit to every source that provides the information you are including. Failing to do so will result in a ZERO for the paper. There will be no second chances for plagiarism in the research paper! Remember that just listing URL’s does not count as documenting sources.

NOTE: Papers that have no direct quotes will not earn a passing grade. Papers that have no in-text citation parentheticals will not earn a passing grade. Papers that do not have a works cited page (or that have a works cited page that is not in MLA 8/9 style) will not earn a passing grade.

ASSIGNMENT DETAILS:
Write an argument about a debatable ethical issue. What responsibility do people have related to the debate? What will the consequences be if one choice is made over the others? The topic must be debatable, which means there will be two or more reasonable, valid sides to take; you will choose one side to argue and persuade readers that the position you are taking is the best, most responsible one. Be creative with your evidence and your appeals. You should use a combination of facts and personal experiences and insights to explain your points to your readers. Your paper should NOT be merely a summary of research information; instead, you should use the research along with other evidence and appeals to explain and support your arguments.

CORE REQUIREMENTS:
Introduction should give a thorough explanation and background of the topic. Explain the ethical situation so readers can see where the point of contention is and the possible sides to take.
Conclude your introductory paragraph with a strong claim statement that indicates your position and includes “should” or “must” in the statement. The claim statement must be debatable, clear, and specific. Just from reading the claim, readers should be clear about the stance you are taking on the argument and what it is you will be persuading them to agree with.
The body of the essay should persuasively argue for your position on the ethical issue with logical reasoning. Avoid fallacies and don’t over-generalize or over-simplify.
Develop your argument with credible support. Evidence should be reliable and authoritative. The essay should have a clear, cohesive structure that guides readers smoothly through the arguments you present and explains your reasoning in concise, persuasive language. Pay careful attention to word choice and tone. Do NOT use 2nd person “you.” First person is allowed if it suits the style of the paper.
Use appeals that will keep readers engaged and interested in your argument. Examples and anecdotes should be relevant and compelling. Remember to make your argument apply to a general audience and stress why it is that readers should care about the issue. Be creative and explore hidden arguments so that readers gain a complete understanding of the topic and your views on it. Avoid “skimming the surface” of the issue and instead take an in-depth look at the ethics of the debate.
Discuss the counterargument and explain why the side you have chosen to argue is the stronger position. The discussion of the counterargument should identify the various positions in the ethical debate and explain the assumptions, contexts, and consequences for each. Use concessions and/or qualifiers to establish yourself as an expert who has a full understanding of all sides of the issue.
Do not let research overtake your paper. The main voice should be your own, and research should be used as support and clarification.
Write a strong conclusion that leaves readers with a clear impression of why they should agree with you and why they should care about your chosen topic.
Proofread carefully and then proofread again. Throughout the writing process, you should be revising and editing your work to make it as strong and effective as possible. Be concise. Be creative. Be clear.

Note that some subjects are off-limits: the legalization of marijuana, abortion, and social media. You can only write about gun control or immigration if you choose ONE specific angle to argue. For example, you cannot argue that guns should be allowed or banned or that gun control is good or bad, but you could argue specifically for or against certain types of guns, gun control requirements, open or concealed carry laws, etc. When you cover broad topics like these, it’s important to make your argument narrower and more specific so you can look at it in-depth. If you would like to write about something related to an off-limits topic, be sure it is specific enough and email me to discuss it. For a list of other topics that are not recommended and more details about choosing good topics, read the Research Paper Topic Information document posted in our course.

Discuss your measurable evaluation methods (indicators/metrics).

Write the following sections that are still left to complete in the template for your paper and submit them for review. This will allow you to receive feedback before submitting your final draft in week 8. Your submission should be at least 2 pages in length and should be written in APA (6th ed.) format.

Actual Outcomes/Evaluation: Discuss your measurable evaluation methods (indicators/metrics). Include any of the following that are applicable to your project: cost savings, improved efficiencies, access to care (visits/procedures/admissions), patient/family satisfaction, associate satisfaction, associate engagement, retention, clinical outcomes, injury prevention, and risk reduction.

Summary and Conclusions: Include a summary of your change project, the main points and findings, the significance of the project to the nursing profession, and any recommendations for future research. You should also focus on the lessons learned implementing your change project, including successes, challenges, obstacles, and future recommendations for similar clinical situations.
