What would be seen?

Although relationship-building is relevant to either domestic or international negotiation, it takes on increased importance in many multi-cultural negotiations due to how various cultures assess the importance of relationship to the negotiation process. For this assignment, you will be researching and evaluating relationship-building in international negotiation. For the first part of your paper, provide two researched definitions of negotiation and evaluate whether relationship-building is a substantive part of the definitions. Include a possible edit of a negotiation definition to enhance the place of relationship-building. Defend your edits with research. Next, assess some of the social and economic consequences for failing to concentrate on relationship-building while negotiating with someone (individual, delegation, or country) that perceives relationship to be an important part of the process. Your assessment in this section should apply to both a negotiation event as well as larger leadership activities. Next, analyze some of the important indicators to being culturally sensitive to relationship needs or concerns (and other needs and concerns as might be appropriate) in a negotiation. What would be seen? What would be heard? Finally, defend three best practices or recommendations for leaders to enhance relationship building in international negotiation and global leadership activities. Make sure to defend your recommendations with research.

oil and gas company profile.

Project Description You work for a business information firm that provides clients with summaries of publicly available information on a range of businesses. Your boss comes to you and says that an increasing number of clients have been asking that the firm develop a catalog of company profiles on businesses that have something to do with the oil and gas industry. The clients want this catalog so that they can quickly identify which companies they may want to carry out additional research on, and possibly have your firm do that research. You’ll need to write company profiles that provide an objective, fact-based summary of: What the company does; How it has performed; and What challenges and/or successes the company has had over the past 3–5 years. You are to write a profile of either a company that is focused on one activity in the oil and gas industry (e.g., a small exploration and production company, or a small service company whose primary business is drilling wells) or one business unit within a larger company involved in multiple industry activities (e.g., the refining unit of an integrated oil and gas company, or the seismic survey unit of a large, multi-purpose service company). Preparing the Company/Business Unit Profile Select a company or a business unit within a company of interest to you that is involved in the oil and gas industry or in providing one or more services to the industry. There are a variety of places to look up candidate companies, one of which is Google Finance (e.g., Google Finance ->Energy->Oil & Gas http://www.google.com/finance?catid=us-TRBC:501020&ei=8x54VvG5Jo2bjAGbnJOoCw and Google Finance ->Energy->Oil & Gas Related Equipment and Services http://www.google.com/finance?catid=us-TRBC:501030&ei=8x54VvG5Jo2bjAGbnJOoCw Next, track down publicly available information on the company/business unit using as complete and even a mix of the following resources as possible: Company web sites. Company annual reports. Company announcements. Market based reports. Financial websites (e.g., Yahoo and Google Finance). News articles (from newspapers, news magazines, trade journals, etc.). Government websites and reports (e.g., www.eia.gov).

Discuss how smoking impacts autonomic function.

It is well known that smoking is bad for your health. The health education about smoking has always centered around smoking tobacco. Now that marijuana for recreational use is legal in several states, the incidence of smoking is rapidly rising. In addition, smoking alternative products, such as those in vaping, is also on the rise. Your research project this is to research smoking and the autonomic system. Why does smoking increase the risk of heart disease? Discuss how smoking impacts autonomic function. Expand your analysis to include smoking of all forms. Does the current research support health education beyond tobacco use to include marijuana and other substances? Expectations
