You are not required to select a topic from the Topic Suggestions list but should have your topic approved by the instruction by the end of week 4.  The paper is shorter than a typical graduate school paper specifically because of the annotated bibliography. Please read these instructions to understand how to do an annotated bibliography as it is a part of the grade.

PART 2:

  • At least half of the sources are to be no more than two years old. Emphasis must be placed on current events topics that directly the human resource staffing and recruiting function, so several references used should be dated within the last 18 months.
  • At least one reference must provide a theoretical framework to support key points made in the body of the paper.
  • Not more than two academic textbooks will be counted in the total number of references for credit. In addition to writing style, intellectual rigor will be assessed by the variety, depth and professional nature of the sources cited (i.e. professional magazines and journals will score higher than general interest sources and unsupported Internet items.
  • YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY LOSE ONE LETTER GRADE FOR FAILING TO SUBMIT AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY.

PART 3:
The cover of the research paper should include a one page Executive Summary of your research that will not be included in the page number count for the paper.

  • The Executive Summary should assume that you are presenting your work to the CEO of your company and should be written with that level of professional quality.
  • The summary should not just define what your topic is but should clearly state a synopsis of what you found and your own analysis of the research.
  • You should assume that the CEO would not want to read the entire paper and will instead want a summary of your research along with your recommendations for your organization based on what you found.

The rubric for Written Assignments is available in the Course Content area for this assignment.
Directions

  1. Use the UMUC Information and Library Services online database collections to search for relevant articles related to your position using the link http://www.umuc.edu/library.
  2. Your final paper should be 4 – 6 double-spaced pages, prepared in Word, along with an additional Executive Summary as your cover page. You must have a minimum of 10 sources no less than two scholarly journals included. Sources should not be more than 10 years old and at least half should be not more than 2 years old.

  • The summary should include a concise statement of the conclusion you reached after conducting your analysis and/or research.

Business Ethics Questions

First, watch the Frontline episode, “To Catch a Trader” (http://www.pbs.org/video/frontline-catch-trader/). Then answer the following questions:
1. (a) What is the specific SEC rule related to insider trading, and what specifically does its text prohibit? (b) Using simple and clear language, how would you put this rule into your own words?
2. (a) Which case discussed in the episode was the first time federal agents used a wire tap for an insider trading investigation? (b) According to the following article, https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-03-30/wall-street-s-whatsapp-secret-illegal-texting-is-out-of-control, what is the major difficulty investigators face today in catching insider trading? (Be specific about the nature of the problem; name-dropping an app isn’t an answer.)
3. (a) What are “expert networks,” and what role or function do they play, specifically in the hedge fund industry? (b) According to James Fleischman of PGR, what is the danger or temptation inherent in what expert networks do, which he wrote was “bound to happen”?
4. Take some time to reflect on the nature of insider trading. In your view, what specifically explains why insider trading is prohibited? Your task for this question is to try to explain as clearly as as possible the deep, moral reason (or reasons) why insider trading is wrong, and NOT merely to restate facts about it. (For example, adultery isn’t plausibly wrong simply because it involves sexual activity; but it might be wrong because it causes someone else distress, or because it breaks a promise you made, or because it shows disrespect, or for all of those reasons, or for some other reason(s) entirely.) Be sure to give an answer that is faithful to your own perspective; do not simply repeat what someone else (whether a religious leader, a utilitarian, your parents, or anyone else) would say unless you personally agree with it. (Also, if you do not believe insider trading is wrong, you may also choose to explain why it is not morally wrong.) NOTE: Extremely brief or superficial answers to this question (e.g., ‘because it’s illegal’) will not receive credit.

Writing an e-mail

Homework 3 Assignment: Write an e-mail
You’re the assistant personnel manager of a metals fabrication plant. Monday is Labor Day, and most of the 300 employees will be given a paid holiday. The company is under pressure, however, to meet a deadline. Therefore, a skeleton force of 40—all in the production department—will be needed to work on the holiday. Those who volunteer will have the option of being paid overtime at the standard time-and-a-half or receiving two vacation days. If fewer than 40 employees volunteer, others will be assigned to work on the basis of seniority, with the most recently hired employees chosen first. The personnel manager has asked you to alert affected employees. Write an e-mail and post your e-mail on Canvas.
