Think of a question for which you will need to do some historical research to gain insights. Where will you begin, and what kinds of sources will you use? Give some examples of primary, secondary, and tertiary sources you could use to find this information. What could be an obstacle(s) and cause the results of your research to be less useful than you were hoping?

Write answers for the following questions.

1.Think of a question for which you will need to do some historical research to gain insights. Where will you begin, and what kinds of sources will you use? Give some examples of primary, secondary, and tertiary sources you could use to find this information. What could be an obstacle(s) and cause the results of your research to be less useful than you were hoping?

2. Explain the role of computer programs in content analysis. Consider the new software available researchers use to organize and interpret large data files by coding, finding patterns, and clustering data and discuss the corresponding strengths and weaknesses associated with their use.

Stock Buybacks

Share repurchases, also known as stock buybacks, is one area of finance that has risen to the height of political debate. Some identify buybacks as a root cause of income inequality and financial fragility in the United States and suggest banning them. Others see repurchases as a normal course of business allowing firms to return cash to shareholders.

To engage in this debate, it is important to be informed. For this week’s discussion, you will research stock buybacks and present a summary of the arguments for and against them. First, what is a stock buyback? In other words, summarize what happens when a company repurchases its shares. Second, summarize what you see as the most convincing argument for allowing firms to use stock buybacks. Third, summarize what you see as the most convincing argument to ban the use of stock buybacks. Lastly, tell us whether after your research you think companies should be allowed to buy back shares or not. Do not forget to explain why.

To inform your post, please read and cite at least two articles related to stock buybacks.

Doctoral Dialogue 2: Cultures of Innovation

Doctoral Dialogue 2: Cultures of Innovation
Purpose
This assignment is intended to help you learn to do the following:
• Discuss the four types of innovation culture from Meyer’s study.
• Analyze management models enabling organizational creativity.
Overview
In the discussion section of his research study, Meyer identifies four types of innovative culture and in its conclusion, states, “The results [of the study] should shift the focus in innovation management from the procedural consideration to the establishment of management models that envision company units with varying degrees of organizational creativity.”
In this discussion, you will consider the four types of innovation culture and how they can be implemented at an organization.
Action Items
1. Read the Discussion Guidelines, the Overview above, and the required article in Module 2 Preparation.
2. By the due date indicated, create an initial post that answers the following:
o Are the four types of innovation culture a viable deduction from the research? If so, why? If not, why not?
o How could “management models enabling organizational creativity” be conceived, created, and implemented in an organization? (e.g., your current or past organization).
o NOTE: You are strongly encouraged to conduct external research associated with your posts.
3. .
Grading Criteria

Two Billion Beats Play Review

You will write a theatre review of a show of your choice seen during this class.
Give your reader a professional insight into the play and the performance, highlighting the strong and weak points
of the production to someone who hasn’t seen it yet.
The layout, style, and content of your review should be that of a professional newspaper review. Don’t be too
subjective. Be creative!
It is important that you read as many reviews as possible throughout this semester. Nearly all British newspapers
have free online versions, so you won’t have to buy any copies. Try to get a feel for the layout, style, and
contents of reviews.

-I’ve attached a PowerPoint for some context of the play

Penny Description and Significance

Describe an object and its significance. First two to three pages should be visual analysis of a penny, last pages should reflect research question and the object’s significance. Include 1 Image. Inclue footnotes.

Step 1: In the first two pages the paper, include ONLY objective, descriptive detail about the object apparent at surface observation. In this paper, include ONLY objective, descriptive detail about the object apparent at surface observation. In this paper, include ONLY objective, descriptive detail about the object apparent at surface observation. Pull from your collected writing, photos, memory observation in order to compose your work. Pull from your collected writing, photos, memory observation in order to compose your work. Pull from your collected writing, photos, memory observation in order to compose your work. Do NOT include any analysis or speculation about the object. That can come later – this paper is meant to derive as much primary data as possible from direct observation, and show what is possible to you as a research method.
(Substantial Analysis: an account of the physical aspects of the object – Size, weight, materials, production, condition, etc.
2. Content: an examination that is limited to subject matter/overt representations- Decorative motifs, depicted people, diagrams, etc.
3. Formal Analysis: an analysis of the object’s form and configuration (or visual character)- 2-D vs. 3-D, color, light, texture, etc.)

Step 2: In the next three pages of the paper, use three sources from Develop your 2-page Object Description into 5-page Descriptive Analysis Paper.
· Generate a hypothesis (or thesis) about your object based on the aspects of your previous
description that seem most important to you. What central question would you like to answer
about this object?
· Attempt to analyze the important visual and material aspects of your object that you
highlighted in your description: Why do you think they are so important? What might they
mean?
· Try out some research avenues. What information can you gather (from library or archival
sources – or other types of sources) that would help you to prove your hypothesis and answer
your research questions? (You will not be able to conduct all of the research you would like
before next week; this is just a beginning.)
· Cite your sources with proper footnotes using the Chicago Manual of Style as your guideDevelop your 2-page Object Description into 5-page Descriptive Analysis Paper.
