  • Title: “The Growing Influence of Brazilian Science and Technology Hubs: A Comparison of McKinsey, Bain, and BCG Reports”

    Dear freelancer, please update the attached doc file paper using the attached pdf and the teacher’s comments:
    “You start going off to the wrong direction to talk about number of cities for McKinsey Bain and BCG that’s NOT what we asked for. Don’t compare number of citations please – we need hard facts, numbers on S&T related – you don’t even need to talk what report said what as long as you have that information cited, essentially we want to own our work. Please consider this structure attached and the link. Pure focus should be Brazilian S&P hub sorely- please don’t compare number of source on different research institutes like last time”

  • Title: “Exploring the Divide: Traditional Normative Ethics vs. Empirical Moral Psychology” Ethics has been a central topic of philosophical inquiry for centuries, with various normative frameworks such as deontology, consequentialism, and virtue ethics

    Most of the ethical prescriiptions of normative moral philosophy tend to fall into one of the following three categories: deontology, consequentialism, and virtue ethics. Each of these categories puts emphasis on a different normative standard for judging what constitutes right and wrong actions.
    By contrast, moral psychologists and behavioral economists such as Jonathan Haidt and Dan Ariely take a different approach, focusing not on a prescriiptive normative ethical framework but rather on the psychological foundations of moral intuition and on the limitations that our human frailty places on real-world honesty, decency, and ethical commitments.
    In this context, write a short essay (minimum 400 words) on what you see as the most important differences between the traditional normative philosophical approaches and the more recent empirical approach of moral psychology when it comes to ethics. As part of your answer, also make sure that you discuss the implications of these differences.

  • Earned Value Management Calculations and Interpretations

    You are a project manager on a project that uses earned value management. The project has the following budget and status:
    Project Duration (months):
    14
    Current Reporting Period (month):
    6
    BAC:
    $387,000
    Cumulative PV:
    $68,345
    Cumulative AC:
    $78,379
    % of the project completed through the reporting period:
    19%
    Estimate to Complete:
    $294,677
    Part 1:
    Based on this information, determine the following:
    Cumulative EV
    Schedule Variance (SV)
    Schedule Performance Index (SPI)
    Cost Variance (CV)
    Cost Performance Index (CPI)
    EAC (bottom-up)
    VAC (bottom-up)
    TCPI
    Based on your calculations above, respond to the following:
    What is the status of project accomplishment performance through the current reporting period? Why?
    What is the status of project cost performance through the current reporting period? Why?
    Is the project projected to complete overbudget or underbudget? Why?
    Interpret the TCPI metric.
    Part 2:
    Based on your calculations above, an inexperienced and arrogant project analyst from the project management office has computed an additional metric: Cost Schedule Index, which equals SPI * CPI. He wants you to report this metric to the customer, instead of SPI and CPI separately. What should you do and why?
    The program manager doubts your numbers. In particular, he does not believe your EAC number and requests that you calculate the EAC not assuming future performance will behave like past performance.
    Compute EAC when cost performance is negative and schedule dates must be met: EAC = AC + [(BAC – EV) / (CPI × SPI)]
    Compute EAC using actual costs to date and assuming ETC uses budgeted rate: EAC = AC + (BAC – EV)
    Interpret the results of the EAC in a.
    Interpret the results of the EAC in b.
    Based on these new calculations, what do you think the program manager will request from you regarding the bottom-up EAC?
    Part 3:
    You are having a hallway conversation with the same project analyst who is now realizing that he may not know as much about earned value management as he thought when he joined the company. Still, he is convinced that the following statements below are correct. How would you respond to him based on each statement (i.e., formulate a specific response and supporting rationale for each statement below)?
    EAC becomes Cumulative AC at project completion.
    Cumulative EV can be greater than BAC at project completion.
    EAC can be smaller than BAC at project completion.
    ETC can be greater than 0 at project completion.
    Submit an MS Excel file showing your completed calculations and including your responses to the indicated question

  • “The Complexities and Failures of the Denver International Airport Baggage System Project”

    Consider a project that you have been involved with or aware of that you consider to be highly complex. What made it a complex project? Did it succeed? Why, or why not?
    In your responses to your peers, expand on whether you feel it is complex and what may have helped it to be more successful. Support response with research
    The Denver International Airport is famously known for its advanced baggage handling system, which was a catastrophic failure. The project fell massively behind, was overbudget, and the baggage system was too complex. Considering projects such as this, what do you believe is the biggest factor leading to failure? Do you consider failed scope, schedule, and budget estimates, or is there something else that is likely to be the root cause? Support response with research

  • “Investing in Healthcare: The Future of Biochemistry and Medicine” Slide 1: Title Slide – Title: Investing in Healthcare: The Future of Biochemistry and Medicine – Presenter’s Name – Date Slide 2: Introduction

    Hello, I need a PowerPoint and a speech for my Business policy class. Presentation and the speech for the presentation are supposed to be for 5 minutes long. The topic is “If you had $100K and you could invest in only one type of industry, which one do you think you’d make the best money in by 2034? Why?”. My industry to invest in is healthcare in biochemistry. I think that we can invest in medicine the next 10 years because we can invent new medications for some diseases for which there is no specific cure.
    Consider: -The products/services you’re passionate about. -Consider such things as demographics (e.g., U.S. population is getting older) consumer behaviors (e.g., more people are cooking less), and working trends (e.g., shorter workweeks and more WFH).
    Look at two diagrams in chapter 3 — figures 3.2 (components of macro-environment) and 3.3 (five forces model) — they’ll help you explain the “why”. You’ll need to use the five forces model in your presentation.
    I will attach two pictures that are named exactly diagrams 3.2 and 3.3, and presentation like an example for my work. Also, the presentation is supposed to be with sources and clear text (like it is in the example)
