Order Description
Assignment
Imagine that you have been asked to prepare an online article for a psychology student newspaper on Professional Ethics for the Psychology Student. The online article should be both scholarly (inclusion of citations and references for supporting information), but illustrated through personal examples, and address the following issues:
• Integrity as a graduate student in psychology
• Personal values as they relate to professional ethics
• Multicultural and diversity issues
• Confidentiality
• Boundary and Multiple Relationships
• Community work
• Research For each topic, identify the following:
• Key ethical issues for psychologists
• Areas that were new areas of learning for you within the topic
• Areas that you find still ambiguous or in a state of change
Your article should include an introduction, be well organized with clear sections and subsections, and end with a summary of your conclusions and ideas for future study.
Incorporate your own reflection on how well prepared you are now to ensure your coursework is presented in an ethical manner, specifically as to how you will maintain academic integrity as expected of all NCU students.
Support your paper with 10 outside scholarly resources. Seven of these resources should be research articles published in peer reviewed journals within the past seven years. The other three resources can be scholarly resources of your own choice.

10) Firms can increase profits by either lowering the cost of production or increasing the value of their product (and charging a higher price). In order to do the latter, firms must differentiate their product in some way so that consumers value it more than the products made by competitors and are therefore willing to pay a premium price for it.

(b) Name one that follows the cost-reduction strategy.
(c) Which of these strategies will work best for a firm that is selling furniture in the global market? Explain your answer.

Firm C operates in an industry where both pressures are high.
(a) Give examples of 2 real-life firms that most resemble Firm A. Explain your reasons for picking these firms.
(b) Give examples of 2 real-life firms that most resemble Firm B. Explain your reasons for picking these firms.
(c) What kind of strategy should Firm C follow (standardization, international, transnational or localization)? Why?
12) What is your opinion about the restructuring of Google? Base your response on the assigned readings.

Your company has the ability to invest in its own manufacturing facilities, but it will have to incur a major cost to do so. Which one of the following is your best option? Why?
