Offering this service to customers of Holiday Inn Express is a powerful market gesture, one that will almost certainly draw more customers - especially business travelers - to this chain of hotels. New corporate calls for accountability, transparency, and performance necessitate the presence of risk management (Lindseth, 2005). This report will be divided into six subsequent sections. One, what are the specific tasks and milestones for this project. Two, what are the five major project risks. Three, what is the assessment for each of those risk factors. Four, what are some mitigation strategies for each of the risks. Five, what is an appropriate change management plan."

Incorporating Gender Issues, 2004.
An analysis of the construction of a gendered state in South Africa.
2,094 words (approx. 8.4 pages), 6 sources, MLA, AU$ 95.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explores how feminists in South Africa have been able to incorporate gender interests into the structure of democratic institutions by recognizing the close link between apartheid and gender inequalities regarding the concept of citizenship. Their efforts have contributed to the improvement of South African women's political, economic and social status, which will eventually lead to the higher quality of life. The South African case shows us how grassroots movements can make a positive impact on society by eagerly interacting with the state.
From the Paper
"The dramatic political and social upheavals and transformations that have occurred throughout the world during the 1990s have brought international attention on theories of citizenship and democracy. While western liberal democratic gender-neutral notions of citizenship have been widely promoted, South African feminists have argued tenaciously that gender issues had to be incorporated in theories of citizenship in order to deal more effectively with gender inequalities deeply embedded in the South African society. Over the past decade, feminists in South Africa have struggled against the patriarchal structure of their society and advocated for the need of the institutionalized and constitutional frameworks that allow a systemic improvement of South African women's political, economic and social status. This essay will argue that by recognizing the close link between aparthied and gender inequalities and gendering the concept of citizenship, feminists in South Africa have been able to build gender interests into the structure of democratic institutions, which has contributed to the bettered political, social and economic status of South African women."

Abstract
Matthew Rabin?s model of fairness is based on Geanakoplos, Pearce and Stacchetti's (1989) notion of ?psychological game?, in which payoffs depend on actions and on beliefs about actions. The paper describes how Rabin?s model shows how fairness expectations lead to different results than standard theory and demonstrates some general implications of fairness on game theory and economics. This paper contains a short description of Rabin?s model, gives some examples, propositions, proofs and critique.
From the Paper
"Suppose that (a1,a2) is a mutual-max outcome. Then both f1 and f2 must be nonnegative, thus reflect a positive regard for each other.
If each player chooses a strategy which maximizes both his own material well-being and the well-being of the other player this must maximize his own utility. In a case of mutual min outcome the f1 and f2 is non positive, thus, f~j(bj,ci)[1+fi(a1,bj)] is non negative. If each player is choosing a strategy which maximizes his own material well-being , this must maximize his utility."

Conclusions
From the Paper
"Middle upscale hotels are also able to lower rates during times of adverse economic environments. Many of these hotels have found it to their mutual advantage to engage in strategic partnerships with organizations such as the American Association of Retired Persons and the Automobile Association of America by offering discounts during off-season periods or during adverse economic periods. All-suite middle upscale hotels include AmeriSuites (Howard Johnson), Embassy, Guest Quarters, Hawthorne, Homewood, Lexington, and Residence Inn by Marriott."

Abstract
This paper examines the demographics of postponing holiday shopping. This is accomplished in part due to a literature analysis and in part due to a fictitious survey that was conducted during the holiday shopping season of 2000 - 2001 at three urban malls. This paper determines that male shoppers are far more likely than female shoppers to postpone their holiday shopping until immediately before the holidays. In order to take advantage of this, merchants should concentrate on promotional packages that will attract male shoppers, such as gift boxes that are easily displayed and accessible to the shoppers.

The Doctrine of Incorporation, 2008.
An examination of the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment and the doctrine of incorporation.
6,508 words (approx. 26.0 pages), 12 sources, APA, AU$ 219.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper elucidates the multifaceted dimensions that encompass the arguments for and against the doctrine of incorporation and it identifies where the Supreme Court stands today on the issue. It discusses the events leading up to the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, the legislation's intent for ratifying the Fourteenth Amendment and the explicit language of the pertinent clauses in the Fourteenth Amendment. The paper also traces the doctrine of incorporation through the promulgation of common law holdings.
From the Paper
"William Crosskey, in contrast to Fairman, rejected the court-centered approach to the original understanding of the Fourteenth Amendment. His incorporation thesis emerged as a result of his claim for a extended congressional authority (Brandwein 1996). Crosskey thought that the amendment should be seen in the light of Old Republican constitutional ideas (Curtis 1986). Under this light, Crosskey considered the privileges and immunities clause of the Article IV, section 2 to provide that the citizen of each state would be entitled to all the rights of a citizen of the United States in every state; that the Fifth Amendment guaranty of due process should require the government to supply equal protection in the right of life, liberty, and property; the Bill of Rights should be limits to the states even prior to the Fourteenth Amendment (Curtis 1986)."

From the Paper
"Teamwork often occurs successfully when members of diverse populations are able to come together and agree upon a set of strategies, values and beliefs in a uniform fashion. While this is easy in a homogenous population, within a multicultural environment agreement often proves more challenging. As part of the teamwork approach to managing a multicultural workforce, it is vital managers learn how cultural differences affect teamwork and employees motivation to work and involve themselves in a team environment. A cooperative environment is more likely to promote a framework for "maximizing culturally diverse teams" and developing team identity even in a diverse environment (Foothill De Anza, 2005). For purposes of Worldwide Telecommunications, Inc. managers must engage in a gap analysis to uncover what areas of the company are currently working to promote a cooperative environment and what barriers to cooperation currently exist within the organization. Communication challenges that arise from working in multicultural and diverse teams are also likely to become apparent during this analysis. "
