Request for Proposal SummaryResource: Request for Proposal (RFP) in Ch. 2 Appendix 2.1 of Project Management: The Managerial ProcessWrite a 350-word paper of the RFP process after reading about it in Ch. 2 of Project Management: The Managerial Process. Discuss the RFP process….I do not need to see how you may do it at work, what you have seen in the past, etc.Format your summary consistent with APA guidelines. Remember all papers need that intro paragraph, closing paragraph, etc.Once an organization selects a project, the customer or project manager is frequently responsible for developing a request for proposal (RFP) for the project or sections of the project. The responsible project manager will require input data from all stakeholders connected to the activities covered in the RFP. The RFP will be announced to external contractors/vendors with adequate experience to implement the project. For example, government projects frequently advertise with a “request for proposal” to outside contractors for roads, buildings, airports, military hardware, space vehicles. Similarly, businesses use RFPs to solicit bids for building a clean room, developing a new manufacturing process, delivering software for insurance billing, conducting a market survey. In all these examples, requirements and features must be in enough detail that contractors have a clear description of the final deliverable that will meet the customer’s needs. In most cases the RFP also specifies an expected format for the contractor’s bid proposal so the responses of different contractors can be fairly evaluated. Although we typically think of RFPs for external contractors, in some organizations RFPs are used internally; that is, the organization sends out an RFP to different divisions or departments. The content of the RFP is extremely important. In practice, the most common error is to offer an RFP that lacks sufficient detail. This lack of detail typically results in conflict issues, misunderstandings, often legal claims between the contractor and owner, and, in addition, an unsatisfied customer. All RFPs are different, but the outline in Figure A2.1 is a good starting point for the development of a detailed RFP. Each step is briefly described next.1. Summary of needs and request for action2.

[Royal Dutch Shell] plans to cut its production of traditional fuels such as diesel and gasoline by 55% in the next decade… the company said it would double the amount of electricity it sells and roll out thousands of new electric-vehicle charging points.” Would Royal Dutch Shell’s decision to decrease production of fuels and increases its production of electricity be a long-run production decision because it will have occurred over “the next decade”? Briefly explain your answer.Question 3. From the article: “Renewables projects typically generate returns of around 10%, compared with the traditional 15% targeted on oil-and-gas projects.” Assume that a firm chooses to invest in a renewable project that earns a 10 percent rate of return rather than an oil-and-gas project that would have earned a 15 percent rate of return.E251-29732, Graded Application Problem Set OnePage 2 of 2Would the firm earn an economic profit on the renewable project? Define economic profit and describe the difference between that and accounting profits as discussed in class. Briefly explain your answer.

Internationalization Strategy.Remember, a case study is a puzzle to be solved, so before reading and answering the specific case and study questions, develop your proposed solution by following these five steps:Read the case study to identify the key issues and underlying issues. These issues are the principles and concepts of the course area which apply to the situation described in the case study.Record the facts from the case study which are relevant to the principles and concepts of the course area issues. The case may have extraneous information not relevant to the current course area. Your ability to differentiate between relevant and irrelevant information is an important aspect of case analysis, as it will inform the focus of your answers.Describe in some detail the actions that would address or correct the situationConsider how you would support your solution with examples from experience or current real-life examples or cases from textbooks.Complete this initial analysis and then read the discussion questions. Typically, you will already have the answers to the questions but with a broader consideration. At this point, you can add the details and/or analytical tools required to solve the case.Case Study Questions:Compare and contrast the appliance strategies used by another multinational appliance company such as LG, Samsung, Bosch-Siemens, Electrolux, Whirlpool, etc. and Haier.What is Haier’s internationalization strategy?Does Haier’s international strategy appear to be effective?Is it likely that Haier’s success and management practices can be applied outside of China? Why or why not?

Technology continues to change and automation is at the forefront of innovation. Elon Musk discusses the various business that he is currently engaged in this TED Talk and highlights how technology will affect the world. He talks about how different products will influence the marketplace. However, the moderator provides a dichotomy at the end of the TED Talk about the balancing of betterment of humanity versus finding an area that inspires you.In a response paper, analyze Elon Musk’s various products and what impact you believe that they will have on the world in the next ten to twenty-five years. Secondly, analyze the dichotomy that the moderator provides at the end of the interview and apply that to areas of technology that you believe need to be changed (software, food production, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, or another major industry). You may complement your research as needed.Grading criteria per the syllabus:”Response PaperYou will write one response paper that should be 4-page (excluding “works cited”), double-spaced essay on a select topic. The response paper counts for 10% of the grade, that is, 10 points. Points are distributed as follows:1) Thesis statement (in the introductory paragraph) (3 points) – The thesis statement must encapsulate the main argument for the paper. It must be clear and coherent, and it must address the request the professor has put forth to the class.2) Supporting evidence (4 points) – You must provide the supporting evidence in paragraph form (not “bullet” or list form). Each paragraph must contain evidence that supports the idea or concept that validates the thesis statement. You must provide citations (in footnote, endnote, or parenthetical form) for all evidence presented.3) Every essay must follow basic rules of format and grammar (3 points) – Every response paper must contain a beginning (introductory paragraph), a middle (several supporting paragraphs that comprise the body of the paper), and an end (concluding paragraph).Grammar is vital for essay composition. Sentence fragments, misspellings, and improper punctuation denote a carelessly written and poorly conceived paper.”

Discussion Questions: Compare and contrast the pros and cons of the rise of Private Military Companies (PMCs) and Private Security Companies (PSCs) and their operations in conflict zones. Should profit-driven PMCs and PSCs be entrusted with critical military and governmental functions as opposed to leaving such functions in the hands of traditional governmental entities? Be sure to consider the long-term impacts.The Use of PMC’s in Military Operations and PlanningPrior to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks the United States Military used outsourced some of their operations to Private Military Companies (PMCs) and Private Security Companies (PSCs). However, after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were the catalyst for these types of security organization to expand exponentially. The organizations began to provide global security operations to both the federal government and the private entities overseas. The drain and demand for security enhancement operations in both the Iraq followed by the Afghanistan wars created a need and demand.While the use of PMCs is less costly than the use of military personnel, the Congressional Research Service has supported the use of PMCs as relative advantageous to the U.S. Government. One of the most advantageous elements is the ability to deploy security personnel swiftly in conflict zones and readily re-deploy the personnel once the conflict deescalates. Consequently, the cost of continual military personnel is diminished.As the demand for PMC’s in conflict war zones around the world grew, the public and American press began to report on the operations of PMCs. Anti-sourcing groups contended, the use of public funds to security private companies in conflict war zones is not documented and without accountability. Furthermore, PMCs were free to spend the taxpayer’s funds as they see fit without U. S. government oversight. Limited inquiry by the United States Government Accountability Office (U.S. GAO) on distributed funding to PMCs has revealed funds provided were primarily spent on security and support functions, while a substantial amount was directed to personnel and equipment. Furthermore, the lack of fund oversight by PMCs may lead to abuse of taxpayer funds. In addition, the lack of oversight will shed a negative light in conflict zones and may lead to civil rights violations. Consequently, unqualified personnel and the lack of properly train civilian personnel in conflict zones will lead to inadequate interoperability between the PMC personnel, military personnel and the host nation members.The sizeable salaries of Private Security Companies in conflict zones entices the competition for personnel. The significant salaries paid to security personnel also entices local Afghans to seek employment with PSCs. Consequently, the regulation of PSCs in conflict zones will enhance the recruitment and hiring of adequate security personnel.For example, On September 16, 2007, PMC personnel assigned to the formerly known Blackwater Consulting firm (currently titled Academi), in Iraq, shot at innocent Iraqi civilians injuring 20 and slaying 17 civilians. As a result, the incident strained the relationship between the U.S. Government and the Iraqis. Consequently, Blackwater’s license to operate in Iraq was suspended. The U.S. State Department, in their investigative findings, revealed the act was hostile in nature and without cause.The PMC (Blackwater) contended the armed conflict was the result of an ambushed on their convoy. Consequently, various investigations were initiated between the U.S. and Iraqi government.In 2014, four Blackwater personnel members were eventually convicted (after various appeals) in the U.S. Federal Court. One individual was convicted of murder and three were convicted of manslaughter along with firearms charges. One individual was sentenced to murder and three others received a 30-year sentence.The sentencing of the of Blackwater guards set the precedent for legal proceedings against international civil rights violations committed by U.S. contracted Private Security Companies operating overseas. However, legal opinions to prosecute PMCs overseas contented a loophole in the U.S. Uniformed Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Legal scholars argued, while members of the military and civilians in the U.S and deployed overseas may be prosecuted under the code, the code was enforceable only under U.S. Congressional war declaration. Since, the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan were considered contingency operations and not a Congressional declaration of war, the military code did not apply to personnel under the guidance of PMCs.The loophole in the UCMJ code was enhanced and reformed to provide a provision dictating the inclusion prosecution of U.S. Contractors in both contingency operations as well as U.S. Congressional war declaration. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held hearings on the use of Private Security Contracts by U.S. Armed Forces. As a result, PMC and PSC reforms were adopted. External oversights and accountability of PMCs and PSCs were adopted in an effort to minimize another Bagdad type incident. Please be mindful, that while many contracted personnel in conflict zones have been injured and fatally wounded while supported our armed forces. Their sacrifices should not be overshadowed by the actions of a few immoral contracted personnel.In conclusion, for-profit military and intelligence companies will continue to be an integral part of our national defense. After the withdrawal of the U.S from Iraq in 2011, media attention of Private Security Companies also diminished. However, as technology continues to play a vital role in military operations, Private Security Companies are being utilized to assist in drone missions, training police forces in unstable countries such as Afghanistan, and intelligence gathering.

For this assignment I am a connector. As you read the assignment to write a discussion . Your response will follow this guideline for connector.When you are a Connector your job is to find a current event (within the past year) or any topic that’s been covered in the media. You get to choose the specific topic, so it can be about politics, culture, education, health, family— to name just a few examples.In a post of at least 100 words, explain how at least one of the week’s required texts gives us insight into the current event you chose. In your post you must refer to at least one specific passage from a required text for that week. This involves quoting or summarizing an idea from the text and providing a page number or time stamp (depends on the type of text).here is the reading material :Link:https://www.vice.com/en/article/wjbbbb/how-feminist-zine-culture-has-evolvedThis week we start to shift our attention to transformation! We’ve done a lot of hard work over the past weeks learning about the structures of thought and material structures that shapehow we perceive others and experience our own identitieswhat become standard as social norms, ideas about what’s “normal,” and how people who don’t conform to norms might be treated.And we’ve gained skills to start analyzing these structures through concepts/tools such assingle stories about identity categories, people, and placeshow social privilege and oppression give value/meaning to identitysocial construction of identityintersectionality / interlocking systemsNow we get to start thinking more deeply about how to apply this knowledge to start changing the world. To help us, we’ll be focusing on different ways that people— activists, scholars, everyday people— are telling different stories and telling stories differently. We’re starting with “Liberation Youth,” a zine created by Daisy Salinas, who’s actually a graduate of the MWGS master’s program!
