1. Green is a talented artist and he creates landscape paintings while working in the open air. Green originally started selling his works at flea markets and small craft fairs. The popular response encouraged him to create a website and start a mail-order business. He outsources some of the printing responsibilities, and hired someone part time to help him ship out his work to website-based customers. He does not currently own permanent retail space, but he has not ruled it out. What business structure(s) would you recommend to Green? Advise Green of the pros and cons of that structure.

2. Sue and Nancy have just patented a coffee-roasting procedure and have plans to open a small, storefront coffee-shop in suburban New Jersey that will be centered around that process. Both have substantial personal assets. However, they also will be seeking additional financial backing through loans and investors. They will need to pay rent, invest in all of the machinery for the store, purchase décor and furniture, stock supplies, and develop a marketing campaign. They are new to the business, with few business connections, and they plan to canvass their friends and family for potential backings. What business structure(s) would you recommend to Sue and Nancy? Advise Sue and Nancy on the pros and cons of that structure.

3. Matt, Brock and George are good friends who are skilled web-site designers. They have complementary skills and work well together. One thing they share in common is that they are self-proclaimed “control freaks” and do not like to take orders from others. As such, the trio has decided to pool their resources, self-employ, and create a web design and consulting business. They would work with small companies and perform various services such: design websites, set up online e-commerce stores, provide digital photography services, provide graphic design consultation, and programming (for bookkeeping, privacy and security, etc.). Matt would travel extensively and meet with clients; Brock would provide the expertise and consulting; George would provide the programming. They have limited personal assets and would need seed money to implement this business plan. Initially, they need a company vehicle, small office space, and technical equipment. They have plans for extensive future growth and eventually would like to work with larger companies. What business structure(s) would you recommend to Matt, Brock, and George? Advise them on the pros and cons of that structure.

Assignment Question – Answer a) b) c) and d)

The UK has been engaged in a long and protracted war in Easteros in which many people have died. TV images from the conflict are dire. As the conflict drags on, and with no end in sight, public opinion is now turning against the war. Spontaneous protests have erupted in many British cities. Universities, in particular, have become a hub of anti-war agitation.

The Government is concerned that the conflict is politically damaging but their military generals are telling them that victory is near. The Government is very keen to redouble its war effort so as to bring an end to the conflict in Easteros as promptly as possible.

Your legal advice is sought on the following:

a- The Government asks whether the separation of powers makes it necessary for the Prime Minister to continue to answer embarrassing questions in Parliament. The fear is that the bad publicity generated is undermining the morale of the troops.

Advise the Government in no more than 300 words. AND

b- The Government uses its prerogative powers to ban all family relatives of nationals from Easteros from serving in the armed forces. The reasons for the ban is that it should guarantee the loyalty of the armed forces. The Government does not intend to consult Parliament on this.

Advise the Government on whether this use of prerogative powers will be amenable to judicial review or controlled through other constitutional means. Answer in no more than 600 words

AND

The Prime Minister also feels that excessive student protests are “talking the Country down and undermining the morale of the troops”. The Government introduces a Bill which is enacted by Parliament as the (fictitious) ‘Support Our Boys’ Act 2017 (‘the SOB Act’).

c- Section 10 of the SOB Act provides that any European national arrested in an anti-war demonstration must be immediately deported. This is in clear conflict with European Union Law.

Advise with respect to the doctrine of Parliamentary sovereignty in more than 300 words

AND

d- Section 20 the SOB Act provides that “all overt forms of anti-war political activism and advertising within University campuses is prohibited”. Nadia has been putting up posters advocating the end of the war. The posters depict various images of civilians suffering. Nadia is arrested by the police as she is putting up a series of posters in front of a large lecture theatre. Nadia is soon charged under the SOB Act.

The article states that including art in education can help children develop deeper learning skills? What are those skills?

Education Policy – Enhancing Foundational Learning Through Art

Due to the perceived need to bolster STEM learning in schools, one of the lost elements for many students has been a satisfactory art education. Art has been shunted aside to make time for additional study of math, science and advanced language skills. However, experts and policy makers have begun to recognize that a lack of art will give children an incomplete education, at best. Research has found that participation in the arts helps children learn to think critically and draw upon their innate creativity to solve problems and work in teams.

Read the policy report posted below and answer the following questions.

1. The article states that including art in education can help children develop deeper learning skills? What are those skills? (hint: there are 6 of them)

2. What is the name and date of the federal law that was passed to help make art a priority in education? What does the law do?

3. Using the table on pages 3 & 4 list at least three of the “Effects on Student Achievement” findings that have been demonstrated in research studies.

4. Based on the article and the studies cited there AND based on your own experience, do you think a revitalized focus on the arts could be helpful in our nation’s schools? Why?

Read the following scenario and provide your thoughts on how the company should proceed:

“You are a project manager for ABC Company. The company wants to purchase new equipment, train employees on the equipment, and then fully integrate this equipment into the company’s day-to-day processes. You developed a plan that detailed how and when the equipment will be obtained, the timeframe for training employees, and how the equipment will be fully integrated. The equipment arrived on the scheduled date, but you soon realized you forgot to include a plan that outlines how employees will be trained on the equipment. Training is scheduled to start in three days, but without a plan you do not know what to teach the employees about the equipment. The plan has already been initiated and time and resources have already used.”

For this discussion, you will need to compose a substantive post that details a simple solution for the company’s problem. The goal of the company is not to completely abandon the project as they have already put in time and resources. After identifying the solution, consider how you plan to implement it. Since you are a manager you need to put your solution into action.

Post a 2 to 4 paragraph discussion post (300 words minimum). Justify your explanations by including in-text citations and references in APA format as applicable.

Define the problem/issue your proposed policy addresses

Prepare a policy memo. The purpose of a policy memo is to advise a busy policymaker/decision-maker on a specific issue. The memo clearly states a problem and describes a recommended solution to the problem, while conveying the writer’s mastery of knowledge of the issue.

Keep your memo brief and easy to understand because the policymaker makes many decisions every day, and your issue is only one of many issues on which she must act. You will probably want to choose a policy position related to your main thesis in your final paper for the class, but you are welcome to choose any policy for this assignment.

Your memo will:

Define the problem/issue your proposed policy addresses
Describe your proposed solution
Succinctly explain the reasons you have for arriving at your conclusion
Anticipate challenges in implementing the policy and propose workarounds for these obstacles
Suggest concrete next action steps for the policymaker/decision-maker

Policy memos in the real world come in different formats and lengths. There is no single template that is most appropriate for all of the different topics our class will be discussing. I provide one template suggestion below. Feel free to modify the template as you see fit. If a specific component does not fit your topic, exclude it; if you feel an additional component would improve your memo, include it. Tables, charts, and other visual aids are not required but may be included if they improve your memo.

Policy Memo Suggested Template

[Header]
To: [Name and title of an official with authority over the policy you are discussing]
From: [Your name]
Date: [Date]
Subject: [Detailed subject heading conveying the key recommendation in your memo]

[Problem Statement and Overview of Recommendation]
In one paragraph, state the problem you are proposing to address as well as your proposed solution. Use statistical data when possible to give details on the scope of the problem. Briefly summarize your proposed solution.

[Reasons for Your Recommendation]
In a few paragraphs, justify your recommendation. The first sentence in each paragraph should provide a key reason for your coming to the conclusion that your solution is the preferred solution. The remainder of the paragraph supports the first sentence. If headings can help you convey your point more clearly and quickly, use bold headers for each key point in this section.

[Implementation Challenges and Next Action Steps]
Give insight on potential challenges in implementing your recommended policy. When possible provide suggestions on how to overcome the potential challenges. Offer concrete next steps the policymaker can take to move forward with your suggested plan.

Your policy memo should be 1.5-2 pages single-spaced, not including figures and works cited. Including figures and a works cited list may bring the memo to 2.5-3 pages in length.
