discuss how these authors may (differently) explain what it may mean to become a society without work.
Answer the following prompt in 2,000 – 2,100 words:
Technology pundits have long warned of a future where all manner of work will become automated with the result that work will either become unnecessary or unavailable. Writing for The Atlantic, authors like Derek Thompson (2015) have even predicted that living in a world without work will become a new normal, where the expectation that work will be a central feature of adult life dissipates for a significant portion of society. How might authors writing about free, invisible, and essential labor respond to such claims? Drawing on the ideas articulated within any three of the following texts (*authors by last name: Kraemer, Christopher, Vinsel and Russel, Gray and Suri, Roberts, Rubio) discuss how these authors may (differently) explain what it may mean to become a society without work.
Consult only material provided in composing your response. Remember to provide in-text citations for the work you reference. Choose quotations wisely. You can always paraphrase an author instead of quoting him or her verbatim. You must also include a complete Works Cited page at the end of your paper.

What kinds of research questions lead to a qualitative approach?
Research questions that lend themselves to a qualitative approach often address questions about how people construct meaning. In this way, qualitative research questions set the stage for open-ended, inductive inquiry.
For this Discussion, review the case study entitled, “Social Work Research: Program Evaluation.” Consider the kinds of questions that inform a qualitative approach. Think about the quantitative method described in the case study and consider methods you might use to investigate the effectiveness of a program from a qualitative perspective.
Post your explanations of the following:
What kinds of research questions lead to a qualitative approach?
If you chose to conduct quantitative research in your Week 4 proposal, how might you reframe the research question in a way that lends itself to a qualitative approach?
If you focused on a qualitative proposal in Week 4, describe the qualitative research question and explain the rationale for choosing a qualitative approach.
Be sure to explain how you might collect the data.
Consider which qualitative method (case study, grounded theory, ethnographic research, cross-sectional research, feminist research, or participatory action research) would be most suitable for answering the research question.
Analyze political, social, ethical and legal differences and their impact on management decision making
Antitrust laws were essentially created to stop businesses that got too large from blocking competition and abusing their power. Mergers and monopolies can limit the choices offered to consumers because smaller businesses are not usually able to compete. Although free and open competition ensures lower prices and new and better products, it has the potential to significantly limit market diversity.
Look at the 2 examples below of how mergers and acquisitions have affected the way in which companies do business.
Read each of the 2 examples below. Prepare a APA formatted research paper that responds to the aligned questions. Specifically, your paper must:
Identify the two firms with similar problems from different countries
Conduct a comparative analysis of the firms
Analyze political, social, ethical and legal differences and their impact on management decision making
Provide substantive conclusion and recommendations
Example 1
Federal antitrust enforcers are investigating whether a multinational pharmaceutical company has attempted to minimize the impact of generic competition to one of its most profitable prescription drugs. This anti-depressant drug is the company’s best seller, with sales last year of $2.11 billion, representing a 22% increase from the year before.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is conducting an investigation to determine whether the company has engaged in activities to prevent generic alternatives to the prescription drug from entering the market. Specifically, the FTC is challenging a practice among brand-name and generic-drug manufacturers to agree to delay the introduction of the lower priced generic drugs to the market.
Answer the following questions:
Why would the drug maker want to stymie generic competition? Explain.
What types of legal barriers to market entry exist?
What are the possible ethical dilemmas present in this example?
Example 2
The boards of 2 major telecommunications companies recently agreed to a $16 billion-dollar merger that would create the world’s largest telecommunications company in the world. Although some agree that the synergy between these companies could be dynamic, others feel consumers could ultimately pay the price for the merger depending on which company becomes dominant in the various service areas.
Answer the following questions:
Why do you think consumer advocates have expressed concern over such merger possibilities?
Other than pricing, what are some pitfalls that consumers might have to deal with when 2 major companies merge?
What are the possible ethical dilemmas present in this example?
