self reflexion

This reflection activity is to be completed on your own–it is not a group assignment.
This week you will reflect on the “muddiest point” in your course so far. Consider what topics still seem a bit muddy or unclear to you. This will give me and even your student colleagues a chance to clarify any content that you still may be struggling with. Consider also providing further clarity for topics your colleagues might find a bit muddy that you feel confident in having mastered. fnp program

According to the article listed above, what were the most important strategic moves that propelled Netflixs successful international expansion?

Part I – Responses to the following items:
According to the article listed above, what were the most important strategic moves that propelled Netflixs successful international expansion?
The article mentions investments in big data and analytics as one of the elements accompanying the second phase of overseas expansion. Why was this investment important? What type of information did Netflix derive from the data collected?
According to the article, what is exponential globalization?
Not all international expansion strategies are a resounding success, however. Research an article or video that discusses an instance in which an American companys expansion efforts in another country failed. According to the article/video you selected, what were the main reasons for this failure? Do you agree with this assessment?
Explain some of the reasons why certain companies expansion plans have failed in the past.
Part 2: Hypothesis Testing

Context:Your organization is evaluating the quality of its call center operations. One of the most important metrics in a call center is Time in Queue (TiQ), which is the time a customer has to wait before he/she is serviced by a Customer Service Representative (CSR). If a customer has to wait for too long, he/she is more likely to get discouraged and hang up. Furthermore, customers who have to wait too long in the queue typically report a negative overall experience with the call. Youve conducted an exhaustive literature review and found that the average TiQ in your industry is 2.5 minutes (150 seconds).
Another important metric is Service Time (ST), also known as Handle Time, which is the time a CSR spends servicing the customer. CSRs with more experience and deeper knowledge tend to resolve customer calls faster. Companies can improve average ST by providing more training to their CSRs or even by channeling calls according to area of expertise. Last month your company had an average ST of approximately 3.5 minutes (210 seconds). In an effort to improve this metric, the company has implemented a new protocol that channels calls to CSRs based on area of expertise. The new protocol (PE) is being tested side-by-side with the traditional (PT) protocol.
Instructions: Perform a test of hypothesis for the two scenarios below. Each test should follow the steps for the hypothesis testing process. Write a summary of your conclusions for the following calculations including the results of the hypothesis tests:
Instructions:
Access the Call Center Waiting Time file. Each row in the database corresponds to a different call. The column variables are as follows:
ProtocolType: indicates protocol type, either PT or PE
QueueTime: Time in Queue, in seconds
ServiceTime: Service Time, in seconds
Perform a test of hypothesis to determine whether the average TiQ is lower than the industry standard of 2.5 minutes (150 seconds). Use a significance level of =0.05.
Evaluate if the company should allocate more resources to improve its average TiQ.
Perform a test of hypothesis to determine whether the average ST with service protocol PE is lower than with the PT protocol. Use a significance level of =0.05.
Assess if the new protocol served its purpose. (Hint: this should be a test of means for 2 independent groups.)
Compute and submit your calculations in the spreadsheet to show your work.

Format your paper consistent with APA format and at least one (1) scholarly, peer-reviewed reference and one reference from the assigned readings (textbook). Points will be deducted for not including either of them.

Please Include:
An Introduction paragraph (Do Not Write the word Introduction to begin the body of the paper – Use the title of the paper instead). There should be a thesis statement in the introduction paragraph.
At least two (2) Level One Headings
Conclusion Heading – Do not begin conclusion paragraph with “In conclusion.”

Submit the Excel Spreadsheet and the Paper. You must submit the spreadsheet to show your work.

Motivation, emotion, and social psychology.

Instructions
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2019, a new strain of the coronavirus disease was discovered. Also known as COVID-19, this strain of the virus had previously not been identified in humans. A worldwide pandemic ensued as the virus quickly spread across the globe, impacting countless lives, including many individuals in the United States.
In an effort to contain the virus, numerous countries leaders encouraged social distancing, which is an infection control strategy aimed to help lessen the spread of a contagious disease. This directive was given by leaders in the United States as well. Two schools of thought emerged. In fact, many people were skeptical about the authenticity of this pandemic due to perplexing and often conflicting messages that were received across social media and news outlets. Therefore, numerous Americans assumed business as usual and maintained their daily living and social rituals. On the other hand, scores of others quickly retreated to their homes, embracing the warning provided by some of the nations top infectious disease experts.
This assignment provides you with an opportunity to analyze a real-world, peer-reviewed, psychology journal article that contains research examining the social psychology aspects of motivation and emotion. You will then demonstrate your understanding of the article by relating the research and conclusions contained therein to current events.
Begin by visiting the CSU Online Library to locate and choose a journal article in which motivation and emotion are viewed under the lens of social psychology. The article must be peer-reviewed and should be no older than 7 years.
NOTE: You are not required to locate an article about COVID-19; instead, you must find a peer-reviewed journal article concerning research that specifically examines motivation and emotion. You will then be critiquing the article and framing the research and conclusions presented in the article in the context of how they can be applied to behavior and social psychology during such an event as the COVID-19 pandemic.
A good place to start your search is the PsycARTICLES database or the Academic Search Ultimate database. You can access these databases from the Databases box on the library homepage.
For assistance in locating your article, you may find the following tutorial How to Find Journal Articles helpful. Additionally, you may find this tutorial How to Search in PsycARTICLES useful.
Once you have chosen your article about motivation, emotion, and social psychology, you will write an article critique that addresses the following elements.
Explain the research methodology that was used in the study.
Discuss social factors that influence people or groups to conform to the actions of others.
Indicate how behaviors and motivation are impacted by the presence of others. (How does this apply to COVID-19?)
Indicate the structures of the brain that are involved in emotion and motivation. (How could a persons emotions related to fear drive their behaviors during this pandemic?)
Examine the articles generalizability to various areas of psychology.
Why would some people choose to follow the orders to avoid social contact and others allow desire for human interaction to be their driving force?
In addition, your article critique should clearly identify the articles premise and present an insightful and thorough analysis with strong arguments and evidence. You should present your own informed and substantiated opinion on the articles content and its relation to social psychology during the COVID-19 pandemic. You should use the textbook as your second source to support your analysis and to supplement any information that is not contained in the journal article.
Your article critique must be a minimum of three pages in length, not including the title and reference pages. All sources used must be properly cited. Your article critique, including all references, must be formatted in APA style.
I uploaded an article I need to use as one source. I need to use the text book as the second source. The text book is Psychology

Full Assignment Instructions for group:

Your team may be hired as the
first-ever HR team for a small, growing tech company. Congratulations!
First, however, you must convince the cofounders they need an HR team
well versed in employment law and able to identify and address potential legal
problems and defend against possible claims.

The company has two cofounders,
Fernando and Frank. Last week, you met them and learned about their work and
needs. Fernando and Frank shared their unvarnished views on people and
practices. Yikes! This company not only needs to prepare to handle growth
effectively; it needs to handle some problems immediately.

You told Fernando and Frank that
current practices could give rise to several sorts of employment law claims.
They asked you to prepare a presentation to help them understand possible legal
issues. They also want to learn how an HR team could help them avoid risks
while maintaining the companys hard-driving work environment. If Fernando and
Frank find your presentation compelling, they will hire you to build an HR
department from the ground up.

Your Final Project will take the
form of a powerpoint presentation to Fernando and Frank, following the outline
below. Each person must present, and each persons presentation must last
between 2-4 minutes. That means the presentation could last anywhere between
12-24 minutes total.

This presentation asks you to
summarize and apply the material we have covered in the class and to work together
to consolidate and demonstrate your learning. You will be asked to spot all the
possible legal risks related to employment laws we have covered in this class
that appear in the hypothetical. But for most of the presentation, you will
concentrate on one kind of issueworkplace harassment under Title VII.

Your final project will be evaluated
based on how fully and accurately your powerpoint covers the topics in the
outline; how clearly, attractively, and effectively your slides communicate
information; how well you present and coordinate the information; how well your
presentation speaks to the hypothetical audience while following the
assignments instructions; and how well you handle questions. You must submit
your powerpoint before or at the beginning of your presentation time.

Discuss the importance of information for effective tacit collusion. What kind of information do firms need and why?

Discuss the importance of information for effective tacit collusion. What
kind of information do firms need and why?
5) Why do many drug manufacturers continue to make a profit even after
their patents expire and other firms begin to manufacture generics?
6) Find an industry that spends a large amount on advertising. What affect is
advertising competition likely to have on the number of firms in the
industry?
7) Which industry is more concentrated, the US market for cellular service or
the market for internet search engines? Explain your answer.
8) In the late 1950s the National Football League (NFL) was content with 12
teams and turned down requests to form franchises in some large US cities.
As a result, in the 1960s, the American Football League (AFL) formed with
new teams in several large cities. Although 12 teams might have been
optimal for a single league, how might the NFL have behaved differently if it
had anticipated the possibility of entry from the AFL?
9) Until 2018 when it lost a case with EU regulators, Google bundled many of
its apps. For instance, phone manufacturers that wanted to preinstall the
Google Play Store were required to also preinstall other Google Apps
including the Google Search App and Chrome, among others. How might
this contractual agreement make it harder for other app makers to enter
the market? How might this affect the advertising market where Google
makes most of its revenue?
