Describe how you would design a logistics network consisting of only one warehouse.  In the discussion, include the steps you need to take in order to design the optimal network.  What information and data is needed to make this determination?  What strategy will be employed in this network?

There are two primary theoretical perspectives that you will be examining throughout this course—the behavioral approach and the cognitive approach. As you begin this course, it is important to understand the foundation for each of these theories and how they differ from each other. As you come to understand these two perspectives, consider which of these is a good fit for your perspective on learning and behavior. Alternatively, you may find that you prefer a combination of the two, which is the basis for the cognitive-behavioral theory of learning.

Using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, research the behavioral approach and cognitive approach. Conduct two searches using the following phrases:

Behavioral theory of learning
Cognitive theory of learning

Place quotation marks around the phrase you are searching for so your search engine is more effective in locating relevant results.

Then, address the following:

Describe the foundational principles of each approach.
Compare and contrast the two approaches, specifically detailing where they differ from each other.
State which of the two approaches you most identify with. Give reasons for your answers.

1. Amba says that Christology is the church’s word about the Christ. What are the 3 sources she turns to in order to speak about Jesus?

2. Amba describes several different “figures” of Jesus (for example, Christ the Glorious King)… which one does she conclude is the one that African women “worship, honor, and depend on” and why?

3. What do the Gospel stories about Jesus’ relationship with women do for African women’s theology? (this is touched on in numerous places in the article)

4. How do African women continue the tradition of traditional Christian Christology? (see pg 63)

Case Assignment

Even the most intelligent manager is prone to personal biases and pitfalls that can lead to bad decisions. We all carry biases based on our personal experiences. And we can all fall into various traps that lead to decisions that seem perfectly logical at the time but in retrospect, we see that we should have known better.

In the background materials, including Bolland and Fletcher (2012); Kourdi (2003); and Hammond, Keeney, and Raiffa (2008); several specific decision-making biases and pitfalls are discussed. Collectively these are known ascognitive biases. Some of the common pitfalls and biases discussed in these readings include overconfidence bias, confirmation (self-confirming) bias, sunk-cost bias, framing bias, and hindsight bias.

Carefully review all three of these readings and make sure you understand the different types of biases. Then read through the scenarios below and think about what kind of biases are demonstrated in each scenario. For each scenario, carefully explain which specific bias or biases is demonstrated by the decision and what can be done to avoid this bias in the future. Make sure to pick at least one specific bias that you read about for each scenario, and explain your reasoning. Use references to at least one of the three required readings from the background materials in your discussion of each scenario below. Your paper should be 4–5 pages in length:

1. The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of a corporation is of the strong belief that marketing is not a good use of the company’s money. Someone shows her data from several years ago showing that during a period of high spending on marketing, sales did not go up. She says, “See, I told you marketing is not a good use of our budget!” and cuts the marketing budget to almost zero. Following the cut in the marketing budget, sales also start to drop dramatically. When asked by an employee if the drop in sales is due to the cut in the marketing budget, she says, “No!” and insists there must be a different explanation. What kind of decision-making bias do you think this represents, and why? What steps would you recommend to this CEO to reduce this kind of bias? Support your answer with references to at least one of the three background readings.
2. A CEO decides that he wants to greatly expand the company’s market by purchasing a major rival. This acquisition would double the company’s market share. However, several of his top managers warn him that such a purchase would require the company to take out a huge amount of debt to finance this merger, and that many of these large mergers have failed. They also point out that the organizational culture of the other company is very different and that managing this merger would be very difficult. Nonetheless, the CEO insists that he can overcome the odds and plans to go through with the merger. What kind of decision-making bias do you think this represents, and why? What steps should this leader take to avoid this bias? Support your answer with references to at least one of the three background readings.
3. A CEO wants to purchase a new factory. He is currently deciding between two factories. The owner of Factory A brags that 94% of products produced at the factory are free of defects. The owner of Factory B cautions that his factory has a 5% defect rate but management and staff are working very hard to reduce the rate. The CEO decides to purchase Factory A citing its strong 94% rate of success in producing defect-free products even though Factory B actually has a 95% rate of success. What kind of decision-making bias do you think this represents, and why? What steps should this leader take to avoid this bias?
4. A CEO of an automobile company decides to introduce a new hybrid vehicle using cutting-edge technology. A huge amount of money is spent in research and development as well as advertising. But when the car is completed sales are very slow and the price has to be cut so low that the company is losing money on every hybrid vehicle sold. She is advised to simply abandon the car to avoid further losses in profits, and focus her energy on selling profitable vehicles. However, she insists it is unwise to abandon the hybrid vehicle given that so much money has already been put into the project. What kind of decision-making bias do you think this represents, and why? What steps should this leader take to avoid this bias? Support your answer with references to at least one of the three background readings.
5. Conclude the paper with a discussion about which one of the decision-making biases you think is the most dangerous to a leader, and explain your reasoning.

Assignment Expectations

• Follow the assignment instructions closely and follow all steps listed in the instructions.
• Stay focused on the precise assignment questions; don’t go off on tangents or devote a lot of space to summarizing general background materials.
• Make sure to cite readings from the background materials page. Rely primarily on the required background readings as your sources of information.

Include both a bibliography and in-text citations. See the Student Guide to Writing a High-Quality Academic Paper, including pages 13 and 14 on in-text citations.

Each student will evaluate 3 psychological tests that are not covered in the textbook or in class lectures. Utilize the Mental Measurement Yearbook found through the LibertyOnline Library to help you select your tests. You are expected to choose 3 different psychological tests and report on the psychometric properties of each test as well as explain why you chose the test.  The evaluation should be approximately 2 pages in length for each test.  Current APA format is expected.

This assignment will account for 200 points. Evaluations of each test will be graded on your coverage of the purpose and design of the test, psychometric properties of the test, the justification of why you choose the particular test, and the quality of your writing.

Psychometric Properties

1. Purpose: What is the purpose of the test (personality, screening, Marriage counseling, placement for children, etc.)? Who developed it and why? How is it used?
2. Type: Paper and pencil? Computer based? What kind of items (T/F, likert, etc)? What kind of score(s) do you get (percentile rank, z score, T, total and /or subscales?)
3. Norms & Administration: describe the normative sample. How is the test administered and scored? Who can purchase?

• Norming data: define both the number and the specific type of individuals included in the normative sample

4. R & V: reliability and validity information.

• Reliability data: correctly use the terms in the course to define the type of reliability reported and provide the specific numerical value of the reliability statistic
• Validity data: correctly use the terms for two types of validity and provide statistical or conceptual information for each

Justification

Why are you selecting this test for review? How is this relevant to what you are doing now and/or future career plans?

Writing & Citations

On the first page of each review, give the full reference for the test itself(author(s), date published/revised, name of test, and the publisher). In your evaluation, you will provide the reviewer’s information about the quality of the test. There are several sources for tests reviews, but the main ones are the Mental Measurements Yearbook (MMY) or Test in Print (TIP). If the first source you choose does not have the information needed, find additional sources using the LUO Library.

The following information you need for the Test Selection Assignment, and the Test Evaluation Paper:

**A reference for a standardized test that is available through a publisher would look like this:

Kaufman, A. S., & Kaufman, N.L (1983a). Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC). Circle Pines, NH:  American Guidance Service.

**A reference for the RBI would look like this, since it is NOT available through a publisher, but is only available through a journal article.

Eidelson, R. J., & Epstein, N. (1982). Cognition and relationship maladjustment: Development of a measure of dysfunctional relationship beliefs. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 50(2), 715-720.

In-text citations will be necessary to cite the reviewer(s) of each of the tests you review. Then, you should include a reference page with the full information about the test, as well as these reviewers’ references (probably from the MMY or TIP). Include both the reference for the test itself and the test reviews on the references page.

Here are the elements of the test review citation that would appear on the reference page.

1. Last name, first initial of author of the review
2. Year of MMY edition
3. Name of test being reviewed
4. Name(s) of the MMY editors
5. Title of the MMY edition
6. Indication that it is the electronic version of the MMY
7. Retrieved statement

Example of a citation to a test review

Anastasia, A. (1983). Test review of the K-ABC. In J.V. Mitchell, Jr. (Ed.),Theninth mental measurements yearbook[electronic version]. Retrieved from the Buros Institute’s MentalMeasurements Yearbook online database.

In the text, you would cite Anastasia (1983) to refer to the review, and Kaufman if you were referring to information from the actual K-ABC administration manual or information from the publisher.

• Just a note of clarification: a test website should provide all the necessary psychometric information about the test, but you shouldn’t be using that site for the review of the test. That is where the MMY comes in. You need to look to the expert reviewers of a test for their opinion on the psychometric properties and utility of the test, not just the test creators’ perspective.

The success of the Revolution seems assured because there are Jacques in the strategic government offices — give an example.
