The Final Paper assignment will be a 4 page paper showing your interest in some aspect of the sport leadership.  Assume that you have just been hired as the new executive director of marketing and sales for an extreme sport equipment company located in your home country. You have been assigned a role to direct the expansion of the business into another country. The country you select for this activity should be one for which you have minimal knowledge of the cultural values, norms, and business practices. You have been given authority to hire an assistant director and a marketing staff to execute the new business plan in this country. You have to evaluate the foreign market in the country, introduce the company products, establish a market presence, and work to set and achieve sales goals appropriate to the situation.
For this Paper, prepare a leadership project plan that includes the following elements:
A demographic and psychographic analysis of the country selected.
An analysis of the nine cultural dimensions recognized by GLOBE Project (see table 9.3). This should be the part of the plan that identifies what approaches to business will be most appropriate in the cultural context of the country.
A plan for the type(s) of individuals (relative to leadership attributes and skills) you will want to hire to your team. Indicate specific positions and whether you will plan to hire people from your home country, the country in which you will be doing business, or both. (Refer to the Six Dimensions and Profiles of Leader Behaviors sidebar for information on the six global leadership dimensions identified by the GLOBE Project study).
List and explain what you think will be the three to five most critical elements of leadership necessary to meet the goals of this project.
I suggest you choose one that means something to you and your future as you will put more of your heart into it.  
You must reference a minimum of 3 sources, and at least 2 of them must be from a refereed source (journal article, not popular media).  The paper must be at least 4 pages, Calibri or Times New Roman font, 11 or 12 point, and double-spaced.

I will upload my data and you will complete the rest of the sheet for me.  You will go according to the pdf i uploaded to get the answers

A maximum single spaced 2 page summary of
purpose of research
• Be sure to include sufficient detail, described in terms
that do not require extensive field-specific knowledge.
The content has to include:
a) the rationale behind the research via review of
selected literature and a concise statement
regarding the significance/importance of the topic,
b) clear purpose of the study or a research
question, and
c) resulting hypotheses, where applicable.
Introduce the topic…….
In this section you will introduce the topic of interest by specifically
outlining the key constructs and concepts related to your future work, and
providing a background on the topic in a broad way
When introducing constructs make sure to operationalize them explicitly
along with a corresponding reference.
Also, you may introduce the key dependent independent variables, which
may be explicitly stated or implied
provide rationale behind the research via review
of selected literature
Here you will have to report more specifically on what is known about the topic of
interest based on previous literature. Here you will consider literature that is
relevant to your topic of interest….
However, and more importantly you will have to build an argument as to how you
will expand on what was done before, by either testing the issues with different DVs,
or manipulating different IVs, or by examining the issue in a different population.
Thus, you not only reporting on what was done, but also on how your
research will enhance the knowledge base
Your introduction has to be based on at least 10 references related to the topic
of interest.
The references can only be journal articles or textbooks. Website or other
informal sources are not permitted.
The degree to which you report on previous work really depends on what you
are doing and how, thus sometimes you may be just mentioning the studies
and their general results, whereas in other instances you may give a reader
more detailed information about what was done, how and for what reason
At the end of the document you will put forward
your “purpose” which needs to be concise and
include the key constructs, concepts, and DVs
and IVs, where applicable….
• Note that in your purpose you may include all of
the above, or just constructs and concept
Marking scheme
• Title page with a title for your study (note that the title has to include key
concepts / constructs /IVs and DVs…where relevant)
• 2 marks
• Introduction to the topic
• 5 marks
• Rationale behind the research via review of selected literature
• 10 marks
• Concise statement regarding the significance/importance of the topic
• 5 marks
• Clear purpose of the study or a research question
• 5 marks
• Resulting hypotheses, where applicable
• 5 marks
All references in the text need to be included in the Reference List at
the end of the document, and vice-versa

Define social determinants of health. How do you feel that social determinants of health play a role in the health status of vulnerable population groups? How can we use some of the lessons learned from past public health contributions such as the Henrietta Lacks Story, the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, or the Stanford Prison Experiment to introduce public health interventions that will be beneficial for less fortunate populations?

* Term Paper Topic:  Use of Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs)
IMPORTANT****Please Download the Attachments to Order and Follow Instructions Carefully*******IMPORTANT
Term Paper: Every slice of sports content we read, watch, and listen to can be an opportunity to evaluate
ethics and ethical behavior. By this, I mean that ethical issues are constantly emerging as players, coaches,
sporting companies, organizations and fans make decisions related to sports.3
One of the best ways to gain a grasp of these ethical issues is by actually researching these topics, discussing
them and allowing others to read your thoughts. In this class you’ll be asked to ‘publish’ your own ‘articles’
on sports ethics.
You’ll use your own understanding of ethical systems and moral dilemmas in sports to produce analysis
and criticism concerning happenings within the sports ethics landscape, which are relevant to the content of this
course. Each student will be required to develop a proposal, rough draft, and final draft of their ‘articles’ (due
dates are listed on the week’s ‘notes’ in the course schedule), in which they will identify a
topic germane to the field of sports ethics, take a stance on that ethical dilemma, and persuade their
readers that they, in fact, hold the ‘correct’ position.
I expect a rather thorough analysis and critique of issues and developments relevant to sports, ethics, and
society. A more detailed description of what I’m looking for from your term papers, including a rubric, will
be provided on Canvas. Long story short…this should be an exercise in developing your sense of how
ethics and morality operate in your lives, in sports, and in your future careers, as well as honing your
writing and argumentative skills in the process. Have fun with this project, and let your passion guide your
research.
*****THE TERM PAPER MUST BE FROM THE PROPOSAL WHICH I UPLOADED INTO THE FILES.*****

For this assignment, you are to conduct a thorough exploration of a specific topic related to childhood obesity.

Your task is to carry out a comprehensive literature review of your chosen topic and compile your findings into a 20 slide powerpoint presentation.
Your presentation should be organized into the following segments:
What is known? Begin by providing a comprehensive overview of the existing knowledge base around your chosen topic. Present the current facts, understandings, and consensus in the field.
Why do we know it? Discuss the supporting evidence and research studies that have led to the current understanding of the topic. Include key studies, researchers, or methodologies that have contributed to this knowledge.
What remains unknown? Identify and discuss gaps in the current understanding or limitations in the existing research. What questions remain unanswered? What areas require further exploration?
How does it change the outlook and/or perception of childhood obesity? Finally, discuss the implications of your findings for the overall understanding, perception, or treatment of childhood obesity. How does this knowledge contribute to our approach to managing, preventing, or understanding childhood obesity?

This research project culminates in the submission of a research paper, presented in APA 7th edition format. Each student must submit their own paper to Canvas (convert from Word to PDF before submitting to preserve your formatting).
Within the paper, there are several sections which are written and graded as a group. These group elements contribute 40% of the assignment grade and are the:
– Abstract
– Method
– Results
The individual sections contribute 60% of the assignment grade and are the:
– Title page
– Introduction
– Discussion – References The group sections are expected to be the same between group members. However, the individual portions are to be written individually and should not be the same between group members. Checklist
