The GROCERY STORE Industry

Research Project Guidelines
Your research paper is to be based on one of the case studies in your Manyika reading.  The case studies, as you’ll see, explore the state of several industries and the automation that might make them more efficient. You’ll choose an industry and one or two challenges that the industry faces, and you’ll elaborate on the automation that could help the industry overcome these challenges.
Ask yourself “What is/are the significant problem(s) that this industry faces and what sort of technologies can solve that problem or problems?” Almost every sentence in a research paper comes from an outside source and should have a citation at the end of every sentence or paragraph, with a few exceptions, and matching bibliographic entry at the end of the paper. Include citations, footnotes, and endnotes in APA style using the Word references tool. Using this tool is a requirement. Videos appear on the Canvas main page of this module to help you use the Word feature that will automate this aspect of your research project.
The case studies from which you are to choose in the Manyika reading is called “5 Case Studies.” The PDF page number is 63, and the content page number is 53. The case studies are about these industries: 1) Medicine, subject: hospital emergency rooms; 2) airline, subject:  aircraft maintenance; 3) oil and gas, subject:  oil and gas predictive maintenance; 4) grocery, subject: improved customer experience; 5) mortgage, subject: customer applications.
Student submissions for this assignment are usually about 5 pages, with a cover page of whatever design you choose but without headers or footers. The content of the paper (after the cover page) must be formatted with 1.5 line spacing and 1” margins. Each section must have a heading–such as (but not necessarily) Industry Description, Problem Statement, Findings, Conclusion, Bibliography—and should be centered and bold above the narrative. Page numbers should appear on every page (except the cover page) in the format “1 of 10 pages.” In the footer, where the page numbers are, align right your name and the title of the paper. The top of the footer must be aligned with the top of the page number footer.
Step 1: Post the case study of your choice.
Step 2: Write your problem statement. What are the problems your industry subject faces? Suggested structure for the step 2 submission:
•    Describe the industry
•    Summarize the problems that the industry now faces
•    Narrow the topic to one problem or two problems named in the case study
•    A bibliography with 2 or 3 entries (you will add more later)
Maintain a focus on technological issues and solutions. Tip: The substitution of technology for humans is not an acceptable focus for this research.
Your problem statement submission should be no more than 2 paragraphs, 1.5 line spacing. The name of the industry followed by “Problem Statement” should be centered at the top of the first page of your writing. Page numbers should appear on every page in the format “1 of 2 pages.” In the footer, where the page numbers are, align right your name and “Problem Statement in [the GROCERY STORE Industry].

Chapter 10

Read chapter 10, which is found on page 336 of the book that is attached. Once you have read chapter 10, write a one page summary on the chapter. After that, answer the two questions below on the next page. Do not include the questions on the final document. Just put the corresponding question number with the answer. 1. Political risk is the likelihood that the foreign investment of a business will be constrained by a host government’s policies. In dealing with this risk, companies conduct both macro and micro political risk analyses. Specific consideration is given to changing host-government policies, expropriation, and operational profitability risk. 2. Effective alliance management includes careful selection of partners, defining the tasks and scope of the alliance, addressing cross-cultural differences, and responding to host-government requirements.

Requirements in the description This is a “take home” exam. It is open book, open notes, open Internet, but you may not discuss any part of the exam with any person other than the instructor. It is, if you consider the number and difficulty of the questions, not difficult. There are items that need to be drawn in this exam. These drawings may be the slowest part of the test for those who have no or limited experience with the drawing tools available on virtually all personal computers, but such applications provide adequate tools for doing this digitally. At most, once you have a drawing or graph completed you will only need to do some copy-and-paste work. Word itself has good drawing tools and thus does not require copying a pasting. PowerPoint excellent ones and even Excel’s drawing tools can prove adequate. On a Windows PC with Microsoft Office Paint can be used. Comparable tools are available in the Apple and Linux environments. A last resort is pencil-and-paper, photographing and

Policymaking and Technology

Image
Choose one (1) of the following discussion prompts; Prompt 1: Healthcare systems are huge, complex, and constantly changing as they respond to economic, technological, social, and historical factors. The availability of technology has a profound effect on the health care costs and the availability of medical care. Local, state and national policy makers have an impact on these systems. Explain what you would do to encourage and increase technological advances and availability and try to decrease costs for all the stakeholders involved. Support your responses with academic resources. Prompt 2: We have learned that new technology is the number one reason for escalating health care costs in America. Do you think that quality would be adversely impacted if the growth in medical technology were to be constrained in the United States for one year? If these costs could be reduced, and more people could gain access, do you think that this would be a reasonable trade-off? Would you pay a higher
