Socioeconomic Factors: Literature Review

The research and application of psychology is influenced by external factors, such as what we discussed in the previous assignment regarding multiculturalism. Other issues that impact psychology are socioeconomic factors including such things as poverty, access to health care, education, and living conditions/quality of life.

For this assignment, you will review three scholarly journal articles related to your interests in psychology (domestic abuse) and relevant to socioeconomic factors as described by (but not limited to) the examples above.
The scholarly journal articles will be within the last 23 years.
Search the South University Online Library databases. Other sources, such as textbooks, Wikipedia, and other online sources will not be accepted. Read and analyze each of the articles and create a synopsis.

In your synopsis, make sure to include:

A summary of each of the journal articles.
Your thoughts and perspectives regarding the concepts covered in each of the journal articles.

Determine the most critical merger or acquisition that has contributed to Caterpillars performance and success in achieving organizational goals.

Review the Strategic Management Project Background document.

Review the following terms and concepts discussed this week to prepare for this assignment:

vertical integration
taper integration
backward vertical integration
forward vertical integration
strategic alliances
global strategy
international strategy
innovation

Create a Word doc and title it Strategic Management Research Journal Part 4.

Write a response to the following prompts in your journal entry:

Identify Caterpillar Inc.s short-term and long-term goals.
Evaluate how mergers and acquisitions in the last 3-5 years have contributed to Caterpillar Inc.s performance and affected its organizational goals.
Determine the most critical merger or acquisition that has contributed to Caterpillars performance and success in achieving organizational goals. Defend your choice.
Evaluate the effectiveness of Caterpillars operational plan for global strategies (international, multi-domestic, global-standardization, or transnational). Include supporting research or data.

What are ethical and legal responsibilities to ensure that your final report will be of the highest ethical standards?

This is my senior capstone in criminal justice class. This is my final class for the next 5 weeks. I would like to have the same write for the next 5 weeks if possible. I had to think about a thesis about a topic in criminal justice that i will talk about for the next 5 weeks. The topic i decided to go with is Law Enforcement: Ethics, Organization, and Police-Community Interaction. My writer must focus on that topic when writing the research paper and answering questions. Below is my assignment and the questions that need to be answered. This assignment is due Tuesday September 1st at 8 pm! Thank you!!

Please note that you are required to support your views by citing your sources in all assignments. Even if the question asks for your opinion, you are still expected to support your opinion with references to published works and other materials. APA format is necessary for your assignments when citing references, and assistance on how to do so is available using the APA Citation Center.

For more information on citing your sources, please click on the About this Course link in the classroom.

Remember, this class is a culmination of all of your classes at AIUmore specifically, your Criminal Justice classes. The topic you select for your thesis should be carefully considered and one that can be covered in your limited amount of time while remaining interesting to you and your audience. Although you have received classroom instruction concerning public-sector careers, do not forget about the private-sector careers.

Did you know that one department store chain has two forensics labs in the United States? One is in the western states and the other is located in the Northeast, and both locations process fingerprints and other forensics evidence. Did you know that one of the fast-food restaurant chains has a huge security department that is responsible for global security and an intelligence unit that tracks terrorism worldwide? Also, did you know that every professional sports team, most Fortune 500 companies, and amusement parks have security, quick response teams, and investigation teams?

In the selection of your topic for your final project, examine all possible areas of interest, both in the public and private sectors. Research topics of interest in which you would love to have a career.

Based on the feedback from your instructor and peers regarding your topic, finalize the thesis that you will pursue for your research. Now, you will develop a research plan that will include the following:

Thesis statement: This statement presents the problem or issue you intend to research, and it should be clear and concise.
Hypothesis: This is a statement of prediction regarding the results of the problem or issue. Briefly identify your working solution to the problem. How might your working solution solve the problem? Be sure to note that your working solution will evolve through continued research and analysis.
Measurement and analysis approach: Define the key points that you will research, and explain how you will gather and analyze the data you find. Intend to incorporate information related to technology and crime statistics that apply to your issue.
Applicable resources: Identify 5 sources that you have found that are the most relevant and best support your purpose statement. List the sources, and then record the main idea as notes to use as part of your research later. Identify case studies, library, Web, and other scholarly resources.
Ethical standards: What are ethical and legal responsibilities to ensure that your final report will be of the highest ethical standards?
