    Description • Discuss the differences between the three major approaches surrounding collection and analysis of data i.e., quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods. • Describe the design of scientific inquiry that may go with each method i.e., survey, narrative, phenomenological, ethnographic, grounded theory, or case study and why it would be selected. • Then address which method and design you think you would prefer to use to conduct research and why (I am going to be writing a research proposal on juvenile delinquency in urban areas.)

    Rationale:
    The purpose of this assessment is to help you understand how the social determinants of health (SDOH) shape health narratives. It will enable you to reflect on how illness narratives and SDOH are intertwined and need to be taken into account when considering people’s health and wellbeing.

    You are required to conceptualise, identify and describe a new venture and provide a maximum of 15 PowerPoint slides to be used as a sales pitch to potential investors in a maximum 20-minute presentation.
    You can choose any industry/ sector/category.
    Please be aware that there will be no actual presentation, however the slides must suit a 20 minutes presentation.
    Think of this as a first pitch to a potential investor.
    Sell your idea.
    It is expected that students will draw on content from Topics 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
    Turnitin will be set up on the unit’s BB site so you can submit your assessment that way.
    1. THE KEY THING WE ARE LOOKING FOR IN ASSIGNMENTS AND THE EXAM IS THAT STUDENTS UNDERSTAND TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES CAN BE APPLIED SO THAT PEOPLE CAN
    BECOME ENTREPRENEURS AND INNOVATORS.
    2. WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR ARGUMENTS ABOUT SOMEONE’S CHARACTER TRAITS
    (NATURE).
    3. RATHER WE ARE LOOKING FOR EVIDENCE STUDENTS UNDERSTAND THAT
    ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS CAN BE LEARNED (NURTURE).
    4. WE ARE ALSO LOOKING TO SEE YOU UNDERSTAND THERE MUST BE A RETURN ON INVESTMENT (ROI)
    FOR YOUR INVESTORS
    AND THAT YOU CAN SHOW WITH REASONING WHAT THAT ROI MIGHT BE.
    This is an advanced unit so to a degree
    we now expect you to be able to show you can do your own research to a point
    .
    However, if you go to the link on the BB site for this unit called ‘News and other useful resources specific to this unit’ you will find that
    the first six videos there relate to ROI and how to do a pitch.
    The latter of which is essentially what this assessment is.

    Task Overview:
    This assessment represents the next important stage in developing cultural self-awareness;to understand your own culture and the knowledge, experiences and behaviours that contribute to it.
    Task:
    · construct a mind-map as a
    visual representation
    to show your understanding and analysis of your cultural self.
    · show how the
    three aspects
    of experience, knowledge and behaviour have all contributed to each of
    four elements
    that make up your culture.
    Task details:
    Choose four elements
    of your personal culture to represent in your mind map.(e.g. customs, language, music, school, work, community involvement, social life)
    Clearly differentiate
    between
    three aspects
    : experience, knowledge and behaviour by using past tense for experience, and present tense for knowledge and behaviour and
    Colour/ shape codes and a key
    like in the examples here.
    Show depth of reflection on relationships between each cultural element and its aspects of experience, knowledge and behaviour.This example shows how this can be started ( it is not finished)
    Points to consider for successfully completing Assessment 1:
    Preparation:
    Explore
    the concept of amind map.
    Decide
    what format (hand-drawn or digital graphics) of mind map will work for you.
    * You can draw your mind map by hand and
    scan the final version
    . Ensure that your mind map is very clear and hand writing is legible. (as in example)
    *Microsoft Word, PowerPoint or other electronic mind-mapping tools can be used. Make sure they can be converted to pdf format.
    Think
    about the experiences, knowledge and behaviour you have considered by working through materials in theme one,’ Cultural Self-Awareness’.
    Answering the following questions may also help:
    · Have I gained knowledge from an experience? Or has certain knowledge led to an experience? Differentiate these in your mind-map.
    · What have I learned about myself from these experiences?
    · How have these experiences shaped who I am and how I interact with the world in my behaviour?
    · How does my knowledge and experience influence my behaviour?
    · Check your work against the assessment criteria before submitting. Attachments:

    The present labor force can produce 500 units per month. Each employee added can produce an additional 20 units per month and is paid $1000 per month. The cost of materials is $30 per unit. Overtime can be used at the usual premium of time and a half for labor up to a maximum of 10 percent per month. Inventory-carrying cost is $50 per unit per year. Changes in production level cost $100 per unit due to hiring, line changeover costs, and so forth. Assume 200 units of initial inventory. Extra capacity may be obtained by subcontracting at an additional cost of $15 per unit over and above the company’s producing them itself on regular time.
    Provide a detailed cost breakdown for using a level vs. a chase strategy to meet the increased demand.
    Which strategy do you recommend?
    How much savings would result from the plan you recommend?
