By the end of the week, submit a topic proposal for your Negotiation Analysis Paper. The proposal (one page) should describe the focus of the paper and your method. The negotiation can be one in which you were a participant or one in which you have been an active observer. Some examples of applicable negotiations are

• a workplace negotiation, such as a complex contract, new position, or new salary (preferred);
• a complex business transaction, such as a merger or acquisition;
• a complex real estate purchase;
• a union-management contract (including professional sports leagues);
• a neighborhood group negotiating zoning concerns with a city government;
• a negotiation between divorcing spouses who have complex settlement issues; and
• a negotiation between a vendor and business over products and services.

The above are representative examples of possible topics. The important thing to keep in mind in your topic selection is that the negotiation should be complex enough that you can preform a thoughtful and critical analysis in your paper using concepts learned in this course.

Remember to submit your assignment for grading when finished.

Instructions:

For this written assignment you are being asked to submit the introductory section of a social history as provided in the Word document link. To complete this assignment, you will need to interview a real person. The person you interview will become your “pretend client.”

Your best choice in selecting someone to interview is to find a person who is facing current life struggles. The person you interview must be willing to provide information. Protect your pretend client’s confidentiality. Download the Social History document

as a guideline as to the formatting and information that should be addressed in each section.

• Make sure that you write in third-person language consistently.
• Report the facts only, without interpretation and or personal commentary.
• Address all the content required content including the use of subtitles to identify each section of the history. (Do not include the italicized prompts in your subtitles, as those prompts are only there to remind you what to include in the content).

Discussion 1

Find one research article. (Violence in America) Briefly summarize it in a paragraph or two, and then state if you think it is a quality research article or not.  Briefly explain your rationale for your decision.

Discussion 2

 Address the following: Having read the article. Discuss your thoughts regarding United Way’s needs assessment. Do you believe that their data is accurate? Why or why not? Had you conducted the needs assessment would you have used a different assessment tool or method? Be specific. Give examples.

In this unit, you will develop a research proposal as if you were going to conduct a full research project. In each section, you will include content related to areas that have been introduced and discussed throughout the course and will use one of the databases that you have used with previous submissions. 

For this unit, please address the following items: 

1) Revisit the link below and select any degree, program, and state combination that you would like as long as there are at least 10 schools/universities total. Since the topic of this course is public administration, be sure to exclude private schools and focus on public organizations.

a. U.S. Department of Education. (n.d.). College scorecard. Retrieved from https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/ 

2) Discuss the means in which the information was or was likely acquired and whether or not you think that it is valid and reliable for your project. 

3) Select an additional research area/characteristic of this population that you are interested in learning about that is not readily available (satisfaction with the program, hours spent on schoolwork per week, etc.).  

4) Discuss a method that you would likely use to acquire information on the topic, and include your method (e.g., survey) as well as a rationale for including each component (e.g., a rationale for including each survey question). You should include at least eight items or questions. 

5) Discuss how the data would be analyzed. (For quantitative, possibly via finding simple means. For qualitative, via coding and related practices.) 

6) Select one of the College Scorecard variables (annual cost, graduation rate, salary) with which to compare your new additional research area/characteristic. 

7) Discuss the test of statistical significance that you think would be best in determining the relationship between the two variables. Be sure to include such items as confidence levels into your discussion and to account for possible disparities in data into your discussion. 

8) Discuss internal validity associated with your chosen research methods and possible threats that may be present as well as methods to minimize these threats. 

9) Discuss external validity associated with your chosen research methods and possible threats that are present as well as methods to minimize these threats. 

10) Discuss how to maintain ethical standards in research in public administration organizations.  

11) Remember that you are not actually collecting the data or making analysis but are, instead, discussing the techniques that you would incorporate in this portion of your proposal. 

12) The total assignment length (not counting title and reference pages) should be at least five (5) pages. Please use at least the textbook in the development of your comprehensive assignment as well as at least one external resource from an Online Library. APA formatting applies. The purpose of this assignment is to gauge your understanding of the content, so focus on writing original content rather than simply regurgitating the textbook or other sources, whether by paraphrasing or using direct quotes. Paraphrasing is acceptable, but try to keep paraphrasing to a minimum.
