1) North Carolina is currently an “employment at will” state. Is the “employment at will” concept appropriate in today’s society? Why do you feel this way? What are the “pro’s” and “con’s” of the “employment at will” philosophy?

2) Based on the article by Charles Muhl you read at http://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2001/01/art1full.pdf, describe each of the exceptions listed by the author. (Cite the article in APA format as your outside source so you get credit on that part.)

3) Can a parent withhold life saving treatments from their child? Explain your answer. Find two articles (from reasonably credible sources – not Wikipedia) that debate or discuss this topic and briefly (100 – 150 words) describe what was written. Be sure to cite in APA the articles used.

4) Discuss the importance of patient rights and responsibilities from both an ETHICAL and LEGAL points of view. (Best way to handle the outside resource requirement on this one is to cite an article talking about a case where a patient or facility is suing over an ethical/legal issue involving patient rights/responsibilities)

5) Given your chosen profession, describe 2 areas where law and the profession interact? Address how the law dictates what the profession does.

2: GE Case Study

Paper details:

Assessment Task
1. Using appropriate academic models and concepts identify GE’s core competences and capabilities and discuss their effectiveness in supporting the
corporation’s success up to the date of the case. (30%)

2. Outline and discuss at least two strategic options for GE over the next five years from the date of the case, with a recommendation as to which you recommend. Your answer should draw on your earlier analysis. It may also include independent research on GE, commenting on GE’s current strategy.

Applying suitable academic models such as Kaplan’s Balanced Scorecard show how strategy could be monitored and evaluated. (40%)

3. Drawing on sources such as Gary Hamel, compare and contrast Jeff Imeldt’s management approach to his predecessor Jack Welch’s, and give your opinion
as to which is more suitable for strategic leadership in today’s VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) world, and why? (30%)

Assessment Guidance
You will be expected to read the case several times to make sure you understand the context, grasp the detail and then review the key elements using the core strategy models to go through the strategy process, drawing on evidence from the case to support and justify your views.

carry out further research on GE, however you must only use material drawn from credible sources such as: academic articles and texts; quality newspaper and business periodicals, e.g., the FT, The Economist and the official GE website. You should not use unreliable sources such as non-reviewed websites, e.g., Wikipedia.
