Be sure that you have carefully read the instructions for participating in the weekly discussion forums, especially as regards what is acceptable as a current news article.
Chapter 4 introduces the concept of elasticity and demand for a firm’s products. It is one of the most useful tools of analysis that economic theory has to offer business firms, and failure to understand its implications – especially in terms of pricing decisions – can lead to serious problems.
For this Discussion Forum, find a current news article that deals in some way with how the concept of elasticity of demand can have an impact on the decision-making of business firms..
Online Discussion Expectations
Discussion is an integral part of the classroom
experience.  Individual participation and
contribution to online discussion sessions is encouraged and expected. 
Here are qualities of a full-credit student post (adapted
from Sloan Consortium http://www.sloan-c.org):
·       
Substantial – cites PowerPoint, textbook, or
video segments
·       
Concise – focused response. 
·       
Provocative – student asks a question to
facilitate discussion
·       
Interpretative – expands concepts or connects
ideas in new ways
·       
Timely – posted within set time limits
·       
Grammatical – free of writing errors
A student should not make all contributions in one or two
days.  In order to receive full-credit
for discussion, you are encouraged to participate in the discussion at various
times throughout the discussion week.
The vast majority of the Discussion Forums are tied to the
chapters in the textbook – one for each of the twelve chapters. These forums
require that the student make a substantial original post (500 words – NOT
counting the hyperlink and reference) and respond to the original posts of at
least two other students (100 words each).
The original posts must include a working link to a current
news article (NOT an article from a professional journal) as well as an
APA style reference for the article.
One of the goals for this class is for students to use
concepts introduced in the course to analyze current issues in managerial
economics, hence the emphasis on current news articles.
·       
Current
means an article that is recent – published within the last six months or so.
·       
News
means an article from a recognized news source such as a daily newspaper or a
weekly or monthly news magazine. 
Online versions of those sources are fine, but BEWARE the
use of online articles from websites that are devoted to a particular point of
view, whether it be progressive or conservative.  Why? Because they usually put too much of a
spin on what is supposed to be a news report. Also do not use articles from
online encyclopedias. While they may provide information on the topic at hand,
but it will be definitions and history as opposed to current news.
HINT: When doing a Google search, below the box where you
enter what you are searching for, select “News.”)
Because these Discussion Forums linked to the individual
chapters are a key part of assessing the student’s mastery of key concepts
presented in the class, full credit requires applying concepts from the
textbook in analyzing the chosen news article – summarizing the article is
unnecessary and inadequate.
Responses to original posts must go beyond nice job” or “I
agree with your post.” For full credit they must advance the analysis in some
way – perhaps by reference to the news article selected by the respondee.
Points will be deducted on original posts if:
·       
They are late
·       
They fail to meet the required word minimum
·       
The article is not current (within the last six
months)
·       
The article is not a news article
·       
The article is short and offers little for
analysis
·       
The post is summary rather than analysis
·       
The post fails to reference material from the
textbook
·       
The post fails to include a working hyperlink
that can be used by others to read the article
·       
The post fails to include an APA reference

4 page paper with 2 columns on each page single spaced
Elements of Your Policy Brief
1. Brief Summary – one paragraph on first page
The summary is the first thing a reader will see.
Write the executive summary last because you will gain clarity on its content as you draft the other sections.
2. Introduction – two paragraphs
The introduction should set up the rest of the document and clearly convey your argument. Define why you are writing the brief and explain the importance of the topic to your audience. A good introduction should contain all of the relevant information for your argument. Describe the key questions of your analysis and your conclusions. The goal is to leave your readers with a clear sense of what your research is about while enticing them to continue reading.
3. Research Overview
One of the most important sections of the brief because it explains the reasoning behind your policy recommendations. This section describes the problem that your policy recommendations intend to solve.
Summarize the facts to describe the issues, contexts, and research methods. Focus on two main elements: the research approach and the research results.
Research approach: explain how the study was conducted, who conducted it, how the data was collected, and any other relevant background information.
Research results: paint a general picture of the research findings before moving on to the specifics. Present the results in a way that lends them to your analysis and argument, but do not interpret them yet. The reader should have a firm understanding of the research and be primed for your argument. The goal is to take them on a journey that ends with them seeing the facts from your perspective.
Focus on highlighting the benefits and opportunities stemming from the research.
4. Analysis of findings
In this section, you interpret the data in a way that is accessible and clearly connects to your policy recommendations. Express ideas using active language and strong assertions. The goal is to be convincing but ensure that your analysis is balanced and defensible. Explain the findings and limitations of the research clearly and comprehensively.
How do your research findings in terms of how they relate to concrete realities (instead of theoretical abstractions) so the reader will have a clear idea of the potential effects of policy initiatives?
5. Recommendations
Detail the actions recommended by your research findings. Draw the link for your readers between the research findings and your recommendations. Ensure that all arguments are rooted firmly and clearly in evidence produced by your research.
What to include:
Implications are the effects that the research could have in the future. Describe the potential consequences of policies. This is a good opportunity to provide an overview of policy alternatives by presenting your reader with the full range of policy options.
Recommendations, Your recommendations should act as a call to action by stating precise, relevant, credible, and feasible next steps. It may strengthen your argument to demonstrate why other policies are not as effective as your recommendations.
Think of the conclusion as a mirror to your introduction: you are once again providing an overview of your argument, but this time you are underlining its strength rather than introducing it.
Format, Style and other Requirements
1. Sources in APA format as discussed in class.
2. Text format, Research and Analytical Requirements
Your text should be two columns, 1.15 spacing, Times New Roman, 12-point font, one-inch margins throughout the pages, and a Header with the course name, semester, Issue Brief Number and Date. Footer with your last name and page number.
Either MS Word or PDF.
Your research must be original research.
You must use a minimum of 5 appropriate sources. The sources must be academic or official/governmental sources. If you have doubts, please ask.
