Please write a concise 2200-2500 word (8-10 page) essay in response to the following question:
 
What is the relationship between decolonization and the Great Acceleration? Analyze two primary sources (Che Guevara and Declaration of Comilla) and their perspectives on decolonization, technology and economic development in the postwar world. What can these sources tell us about the relationship between decolonization and the Great Acceleration, and why is agriculture so important to this question?
 
Please analyze these two primary sources in their historical contexts. Examine the primary sources closely and consider the authors, their motives and their intended audience. Note specific details that offer evidence concerning the key terms of the question (decolonization, agriculture, technology and economic development.)
 
Use secondary sources (International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme, “Planetary dashboard shows ‘Great Acceleration’ in human activity since 1950;” “Green Revolution.” Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia; Professor Simmons, video lecture on “Revolutions”) to place each primary source in its specific historical context. 
 
Please use all of the primary and secondary sources listed here to formulate your argument.
 

CASE STUDY PAPER INSTRUCTIONS
For the Case Study Paper, you will create a hypothetical case of a patient who is suffering from 2 psychological disorders and provide a detailed treatment plan highlighting the application of evidence-based interventions in the treatment of the disorders. In this case study, you are responsible for providing a detailed background of the patient, his or her symptoms, diagnoses, and a proposed session-by-session treatment plan. The Case Study Paper must follow current APA formatting, contain a title page and reference page, and consist of 10–12 pages. 
 
Your case study must consist of the following: 
 
Introduction: You will provide a brief introduction of the patient describing the context and symptoms that the patient is presenting. You will describe any physical or emotional symptoms and any relevant thoughts or feelings related to the symptoms. 
 
Clinical History: In this section, you will discuss the patient’s background history including information such as their family of origin, educational history, occupational history, family psychiatric history, patient psychiatric history (including any inpatient or outpatient therapy), drug and alcohol history, family and social relationships, life stressors, future goals, and present living arrangements. This section gives you the opportunity to paint the narrative of the patient’s life history that has led up to their current situation. It must build a case that results in his or her specific diagnoses noted in the following section. 
 
Diagnoses: In this section, you will briefly describe the patient’s diagnoses for both disorders based upon DSM-V criteria. You will explain how you reach these diagnoses based on how the patient’s symptoms fit the diagnostic criteria. 
 
Rationale: In this section, you will discuss the theoretical framework for the treatment of your patient. You will reference 2 journal articles that support your rationale for the specific treatment protocol along with the reference to the textbook. Further, you will discuss any overlapping symptoms between the 2 disorders and note how you will address them in your treatment protocol. You will also discuss the rationale for the number of sessions you will use in your treatment plan to treat the disorders based on the research literature recommendations. 
 
Treatment Protocol: In this section, you will provide a session-by-session outline describing the type of behavioral interventions you will use in each session. (Note: You do not have to write out dialogue for this section.) You must note the particular purpose or objective for each session and the specific intervention that is being used for that session. Further, provide an analysis or brief description of what you would do in that session. 
 
Discussion: In this section, you will briefly summarize the case and discuss how you addressed each of the 2 disorders in your treatment protocol. You will note any overlapping symptoms that were addressed and how that was accommodated. 
 
References: Reference page must be in current APA format. 
 
 

Portfolio Assignment task 
This is an individual assignment based on an evaluation of work undertaken by your project team group on the module. 
The project team is charged with designing a new business model that may compete successfully in one of your proposed 5 or 10 year scenarios for your chosen industry or sector. This new model may be radically different from existing models or may reflect more incremental changes externally or internally. 
The final outcome for your project teamwork will be a new business model presented using the business model “canvas” of Osterwalder & Pigneur (2010). These are the outputs of your team project work, and they are the subject of the work you will do individually for the assignment marks. 
 
Your individual submission should be in the form of a portfolio submitted online, which should contain the following sections (see next pages for details): 
PART 1: 1a and 1b 
PART 2: 2a and 2b 
REQUIRED APPENDICES 
ALLOWED APPENDICES
 
PART 1 (accounts for 40% of the marks awarded) 
Your individual analysis (with supporting evidence) of aspects of the nature of the business model your group creates, and the collective cognitive and problem-solving processes of business model design that your team experienced. 
Part 1 should be no more than 800 words in total: 200 words for section 1a, and 600 words for section 1.b. 
You should use (and reference) the following specific concepts: 
1a. Your summary evaluation of where the business model innovation discussed in your group might be plotted on Verganti’s matrix (see diagram below), through a consideration of: 
• whether the changes represented in the business model are essentially radical or incremental in nature and 
• the degree to which the innovative aspects of the model are driven from technologies (“technology push”), market needs (“market pull”), or from the “design” perspective (from the re-thinking of user experience). (200 words)
 
According to your summary evaluation, show on a diagram of Verganti’s matrix where you would plot the business model.

Assignment 2 – Due: Sunday, Midnight of Week 10 (22.5% of Final Grade)
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your understanding of capital investment techniques by evaluating
the following three case studies. In addition to your calculations for each scenario, you should submit a Word
document in which you respond to the questions in each scenario.
Case Analysis 1 (Weight 20% of Total Assignment)
You work for a small, local telecommunications company. In five years, the company plans to undertake a
major upgrade to its servers and other IT infrastructure. Management estimates that it will need up to
$450,000 to cover all related costs; however, as a fairly young company, the goal is to pay for the upgrade
with cash and not to take out loans. Right now, you have $300,000 in a bank account established for Capital
Investments. This account pays 4% interest, compounded annually. A member of the finance department
has approached you with an investment opportunity for the $300,000 that covers a five-year period and has
the following projected after-tax cash flows:

Year
Projected Cash Flow

1
$90,000

2
$115,000

3
$135,000

4
$110,000

5
$90,000

Based on this information, in an MS Word document, answer the following questions:
1) How much money will be in the bank account if you leave the $300,000 alone (earning 4% compounded
interest) until you need it in five years?
2) If you undertake the investment opportunity, what is the Nominal Payback Period?
3) Using the Present Value factors for 7% (which can be found on any PV Factor table), what is the
discounted Payback Period of the investment opportunity?
4) What is the Net Present Value at 7% of the investment opportunity?

5) Which option (make the investment or leave the money in a savings account) would you recommend to
your CEO? Why? What additional factors/information might make you change your point of view?
Case Analysis 2 (Weight 30% of Total Assignment)
The CEO of Dynamic Manufacturing was at a conference and talked to a supplier about a new piece of
equipment for its production process that she believes will produce ongoing cost savings. As the Operations
Manager, your CEO has asked for your perspective on whether or not to purchase the machinery.
After talking to the supplier and meeting with your Engineers and Financial Analysts, you’ve gathered the
following pieces of data:
• Cost of Machine: $140,000
• Estimated Annual After Tax Cash Flow Savings: $60,000 (which may or may not grow)
• Estimated machinery life: 3-5 years (after which there will be zero value for the equipment and no
further cost savings)
• You seem to recall that Dynamic’s Finance organization recommends either a 10% or a 15%
discount rate for all Cost Savings Projects
From your JWMI MBA, you know that you need to understand the project financials to ensure that this
investment will be economically attractive to Dynamic Manufacturing’s shareholders.
Calculate the Nominal Payback, the Discounted Payback, the Net Present Value and the IRR for each
scenario, assuming:
A. Ann (A) recommends using the base assumptions above: 3 year project life, flat annual savings, 10%
discount rate.
B. Bob (B) recommends savings that grow each year: 3 year project life, 10% discount rate and a 10%
compounded annual savings growth in years 2 & 3. In other words, instead of assuming savings stay
flat, assume that they will grow by 10% in year 2, and then grow another 10% over year 3 in year.
C. Cassidy (C) believes we use a higher Discount Rate because of the risk of this type of project: 3 year
project life, flat annual savings, 15% discount rate.
D. David (D) is convinced the machine will last longer than 3 years. He recommends using a 5 Year
Equipment Life: 5 year project and savings life, flat annual savings, 10% discount rate. In other
words, assume that the machine will last 2 more years and deliver 2 more years of savings.

In an MS Word document, in paragraph form, respond to the following questions:
1) Which person’s scenario would you present to management and why? From a strictly financial
(numbers) perspective, would you recommend this purchase to management?
2) In your opinion, which person’s scenario is based on the most aggressive assumptions? If you were
to select this scenario as the basis for your proposal, how would you justify the more aggressive
assumptions?
3) In SIMPLE English (as in talking to a non-Finance and non-MBA person), explain why there is value
to management in running all 4 of these scenarios.
4) Beyond financial measures, what other factors would you want to consider, before making a
recommendation to management?
5) If you were the CEO, would you approve this proposal? Why or why not?

You are the General Manager at the Bicker, Slaughter, and Lynch Law Firm. There is an opportunity to buy
out a small law firm that was just started by a young MBA/JD, and you believe the firm can be grown and

• You estimate that the purchase price for this firm would be $200,000 and that additional net working
capital would be needed in the amount of $60,000 in year 0, an additional $15,000 in year 2 and then
$15,000 in year 5.
• BSL usually spend about $275,000 per year in advertising. If you make this acquisition, you would
ask that advertising spending be increased by an incremental one-time amount of $45,000 in year 0
to publicize the firm’s expansion.
• Your finance leader has indicated that the firm has access to a credit line and could borrow the funds
at a rate of 6%. He also mentions that when he runs project economics for capital budgeting (such
as a new copier or a company car), he recommends a standard 10% rate discount, but the one other
time they looked at an acquisition of a smaller firm, he used a 13% rate discount. Obviously you will
want to select the most appropriate discount rate for this type of project.
• At the end of 8 years, the plan is to sell this division. The estimated terminal value (the sale and the
return of working capital) is conservatively estimated to be $350,000 of after-tax cash flow help.
Using the data that you need (and ignoring the extraneous information), for this potential acquisition,
calculate each of the following items:
o the Nominal Payback
o the Discounted Payback
o the Net Present Value
o the IRR
In an MS Word document, in paragraph form, respond to the following questions:
1) From a purely financial (numbers) perspective, would you recommend this purchase to
management? Why?
2) What are some of the non-financial elements that need to be considered for this proposal?
3) Assumptions in project economics can have a huge impact on the result. Identify 3 financial
elements/assumptions in your analysis that would make this project financiallyunattractive? In other
words, what would have to be true for this to be a bad investment?
4) If you were the CEO, would you approve this proposal? Why or why not?
