Contracts and Procurement: 4 pages; APA Format; reference list; with complete matching references; to include page numbers or website.

Search the library and Internet for “ethics and government contracts” and policies and procedures or a “code of ethics” for contracts. Locate three specific case examples for unethical incidences dealing with contracts. Review the three incidences and write a 4–6 page paper on the following:

• Identify the 3 cases.
• What is the misconduct surrounding the unethical incidences in the contracts?
• Are the standard policies and procedures or a code of ethics adequate to government contracting (justify your answer)?
• Identify the violations on the individual involved, as well as the weakness of the oversight of the organization in which the unethical incident occurred.
• Identify the consequences on the firm and the individual.

In order to be able to evaluate the importance of aviation maintenance (Learning Objective #1), conduct a study of the case below.

Aviation maintenance has to be taken seriously because of the catastrophic results that can occur if maintenance is performed incorrectly. In this case study, you will research the goals of maintenance from 3 (three) airline organizations (annotate each name in the paper). After your research is conducted, you will develop at least 4 (four) maintenance goals for your maintenance team. For each goal, you will develop at least 3 (three) objectives. Be clear when developing each goal and objectives and explain each following this format.

The case study will be submitted in a 1-3 page essay (text only). This case study needs to be verified for proper spelling and grammar. The case study submission will be prepared in APA format with a cover sheet containing: your name, title, course title, course number, semester and year, instructor’s name and date of submission.  I will do the cover sheet. 

Do you think I can have this no later than Saturday 8/16 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time

Write a 500-750 word essay using exemplification as a method of development. Include a title page and outline with your essay.

Writing Approach

Determine exactly what point you are going to make and write it down in precise terms. Think about why you want to make this point. Develop a thesis statement (pages 47-49 in The St. Martin’s Handbook). Then choose examples and details that count for something, those that move the reader toward some goal.

Choose the best examples that honestly reflect the group or class they represent. Do not pick examples that do not support your thesis. Also, make sure that your examples display all the chief features of whatever you are illustrating.

Do not give your examples and their details in a haphazard manner; give some real thought to arranging them in the best possible order. You may use order of familiarity, climax, importance, or some other order.

If an essay develops a single example, try to have at least three important things to say about it–three areas of discussion.

Reminders

ou are a marketing manager interviewing for a new job at several different firms simultaneously. You expect to be asked the same questions in each interview dealing with what you think are some good new marketing opportunities for each firm to pursue. You know that being well prepared for an interview gives you a better chance of being offered the job, so you decided to study each company where you are interviewing.

Pick any 3 firms to research. Based on Internet research on these companies, write a 500–750-word research paper proposing at least 3 marketing opportunities that you would strongly suggest that each firm pursue. In your arguments, include the following:

• Describe your reasoning for identifying them as worthy of pursuing.
• Categorize each marketing opportunity as low-hanging fruit, home runs, or singles, and discuss why (see definitions in course materials).
• Discuss the risk in pursuing each opportunity.
• Without actually trying to determine each project’s ROE, which would you most strongly recommend implementing, and why?
• Explain how the marketing opportunity would reflect upon the firm. Would it have a positive or negative public relations effect on the firm? Would it result in great financial improvements, or only a minor improvement?  

Use GLUT primitives to draw a chocolate chip cookie.  
A) First create a chocolate  chip using GLUT.  First use  either glFrustrum()  or  glPerspective () so we get a nice 3-D view.   Take GLUT solid sphere and apply the scaling linear-transformation as a model transformation (remember the transformation stack, flipped-to us but algebraically valid).    That makes a flat cookie (color it RGB =  < 203, 150, 82  > using the 0-255 integer scale).       

B) Add chocolate chips (spheres) on the surface, so only the part of the upper hemispheres stick out.  Chips need to be nice and chocolate colored (try  
RGB =  <  61,  24,  5 >  using the 0-255 integer scale).
