Assignment 2: Basis of Punishment Some believe that a punishment should be based on a crime committed, that is, everyone who commits the crime should receive the same sentence. This prevents disparity in sentencing and ensures equal treatment, but it removes the judge’s discretion. Others believe a punishment should be based on the offender: each case should be considered separately, with the judge having the power to consider the offender’s particular circumstances. Submission Details: By Saturday, October 24, 2015, in a minimum of 250 words, post your responses to the following questions to the Discussion Area: In your opinion, should a punishment be based on the crime committed or on the offender? Which model of punishment do you support and why? Are there any drawbacks to the model you support?

Both leadership and organizational strategy in the next decade will see major trends affecting the way organizations conduct business. These include the deployment of more technology to extend reach and access, increased globalization, increased diversity, more focus on extended supply chains, and a more nomadic workforce. In this assignment, you will consider these trends and analyze how they may impact your selected organization and what actions are necessary to get ready to address these trends.

You have been appointed by your organization (either a hypothetical one or one you are familiar with) to prepare its Workforce 2020 executive report.

The report should be as detailed as possible for the CEO of your organization. That means it should include the key points of your research, analysis, and findings. The report should also contain examples of specific application to your company in a clear, concise, and informative document.

In Module 4, you began your research on Workforce 2020. In this module, you will expand on the work you did in Module 4. Take Module 4’s paper, and incorporate the items below into your work. Be sure to use the module readings,  University online library resources, and the Internet, including federal guidelines. Select at least 3–4 scholarly resources for use in this assignment.

Complete the following:

1. Analyze your organization in its present form. Explain your organization’s structure, workforce diversity, market/customer diversity, and communications technology.
2. Forecast future trends. Identify the economic, social, demographic, and workforce parameters that are expected to be in the U.S. in the year 2020. Explain how those trends will or will not be reflected in your organization. Consider addressing the following:
   1. What are the general workforce trends?
   2. How will these trends impact your industry?
   3. What are the general trends in leadership/management that are impacting your organization?
3. Synthesize data and recommend changes needed for the future. Identify and recommend leader, organizational, and workforce trends that must be considered for change in the larger macro environment (for example, advances in technology or globalization) in your organization. Identify related outcomes for each specific topic: Consider addressing the following:
   1. What leadership actions should the organization take?
   2. What competencies will be needed?
   3. What does the organization need to do to be prepared?To conduct a holistic assessment of your selected organization and the challenges and opportunities it faces in addressing the noted trends, consider some of the concepts listed below as you develop your recommendations for the organization. It is not necessary to include all the concepts, but you should include 2–3 of them to do a thorough analysis. For example, leadership models and diversity management are likely to be pivotal areas for the organization. You could talk about the environment trends that were noted in the beginning of this assignment and then discuss how leadership practices and approaches in your selected organization may have to change to meet or address those trends.

4. Analyze how the following concepts apply to your organization:
   • Diversity management
   • Leadership models
   • Ethics
   • Decision-making models
   • Problem solving
   • Conflict management processes

Ensure that your paper includes the following:

• An integrated report with an introduction and summary
• A set of recommendations that will enable the organization to meet the expected challenges of 2020
• Trends in your own organization
• 3–4 credible, cited sources supporting your projections

Assignment 2: Drug Treatment for ADHD

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has received a lot of media coverage in the past ten years. One of the things most misunderstood about the disorder is the treatment. Children (and adults) afflicted with ADHD are often treated with stimulant drugs. Parents are often hesitant about giving their children these stimulant medications. Treating hyperactivity with a drug that increases activity appears paradoxical.

Using the Argosy University online library resources, find at least two peer-reviewed journal articles that explain the effect of stimulant drugs (such as Adderall or Ritalin—amphetamine or methylphenidate) on the brains of those with ADHD.

Create a brochure that explains the benefits of using stimulant medications and addresses the concerns of parents of children with ADHD. Be sure to use language appropriate for the audience. Include the following in your brochure:

• Summarize the findings of the two articles.
• Explain the effect that these drugs have in the brain.
• Explain the concerns of using stimulant drugs to treat ADHD.

Respond to the following questions thoroughly, in 150-300 words for each question.  Use your textbook as your first and major reference.

1. Company’s often encounter stock splits and reverse stock splits. Why do these splits occur? Explain the short-term and long-term effects of split on a company’s financial statements.
2. How do the various types of operating and financial leverage impact a company? Provide examples to support your views. What do you think is the appropriate method for a company to determine the amount of leverage it should possess?
3. Inventory turnover is an important measure of how a firm is managing its current assets, but differs among firms.  For example, the inventory turnover for a grocery store will be much higher than a furniture store.  Why might this be the case?
