the-fate-of-affordable-care-act

by

You may base your paper on reports from reputable news sources or on announcements or proposals from Congress or the Trump administration (see, for example, press releases and other announcements at www.whitehouse.gov or www.hhs.gov) and pick one or two proposed changes to the Affordable Care Act or one or two provisions of the Act that the Administration or Congress has said it will not change. Discuss the consequences of the proposed change (or decision not to change in the context of other changes). You have only 500 to 1500 words, so focus on a specific proposal. Papers that are merely pro- or anti-Trump screeds will not be accepted. The task here, as with the other papers, is to analyze a legal issue.

First, read the two references below — both are available electronically from the AUT library, and links to them can be found in the “Course Resources” section of the ECON801 Blackboard page. Based on this reading, write an essay that provides background to, and a summary of, the experimental results in the paper by Ariely and Wertenbroch.

In particular, your essay should do the following things in the following order:

  1. Standard economic models of (non-strategic) choice imply that a decision-maker would never choose to throw away future options, or make them more costly to access. However, real life furnishes many examples of behaviour that violates this principle. Briefly describe how behavioural economics can rationalise such behaviour. Your explanation should include a discussion of the concepts of “time consistency” and “commitment”.
  2. What hypotheses do Ariely and Wertenbroch test?
  3. How do they test them?
  4. What results do they obtain and what conclusions to they draw from these results?

As a rough guide, you should expect to devote similar space to each of parts (1), (3) and (4), with somewhat less space for (2). Avoid allocating excessive space to (1) — the main focus is the Ariely and Wertenbroch paper, so (1) should give just enough background for the reader to understand their hypotheses.

Review Chapters 3, chapter 6 and 7 in the course textbook.

  • Chapter 3, Corporate Social Responsibility and Citizenship
  • Chapter 6 and 7, Business in a Globalized World

Along with the chapter readings, pay particular attention to the following case in Chapter 3:

Corporate Social Responsibility at Gravity Payments. You may also find the following video related to the case of interest:

https://www.nytimes.com/video/business/100000003628438/new-minimum-wage-70000-a-year.html

Prepare a 500-word posting identifying the major points from the chapter readings. Conclude the post by considering the following case questions:

  1. Is Price demonstrating elements of corporate social responsibility by his actions in this case, or not? Although this is a subjective question, the chapter provides a number of tools to assess Price’s actions in terms of corporate social responsibility:
  • Is Price using his corporate power as a CEO appropriately?
  • Is he demonstrating the notion of the Iron Law of Responsibility?
  • Is he embracing the responsibility notion of “giving back” to his employees?
  1. What principles of corporate citizenship (using Exhibit 3.A) are evident in this case?
  2. What arguments for and against corporate social responsibility (referring to Figure 3.3) are relevant to this case?
  3. Is Price acting like an executive of a firm that could be certified as a B corporation?
  4. What stage of global corporate citizenship (using Figure 3.5) is Gravity Payments operating at, and why do you think so?

Nike Case Study Analysis

Nike: Spreading Out to Win the Race

Nike is indisputably a giant in the athletics industry. The Portland, Oregon, company is known worldwide for its products, none of which it actually makes. It has thrived by knowing how to stay small, focusing on core competencies, and outsourcing manufacturing.

But if you don’t make anything, what do you actually do? If you outsource everything, what’s left? A lot of brand recognition, as it turns out.

Behind the Swoosh

Nike continues to outpace the athletic shoe competition while spreading its brand through an ever-widening universe of sports equipment, apparel, and paraphernalia. The ever-present Swoosh graces everything from bumper stickers to sunglasses to high school sports uniforms. Nike products embody a love of sport, discipline, ambition, practice, and all other desirable traits of athleticism.

The company has cleverly kept its advertising agency nestled close to home, but has relied extensively on outsourcing many non-executive and back office responsibilities to reduce overhead. Nike is structured around its core competency in product design—not manufacturing. It has taken outsourcing to a new level, with sub-contractors producing all of its shoes.

Whoops

Although outsourcing production hasn’t hurt product quality, it has challenged Nike’s reputation for social responsibility, especially regarding work conditions and labor practices at some suppliers. In a move designed to turn critics into converts, Nike posts information on its website detailing every one of the hundreds of factories that it uses to make shoes, apparel, and other sporting goods. It released the data in conjunction with a comprehensive corporate responsibility report summarizing the environmental impact and the labor situations of its contract factories.

Nike also encourages designers to develop environmentally sustainable designs like the Nike Free, a lightweight running shoe that boosted sales dramatically. Nike’s Sustainable Business & Innovation Lab funds outside startups focused on alternative energies, more efficient approaches to manufacturing, and the promotion of healthy lifestyles.

Pesky Competition

Nike has so far balanced size and pressure to remain successful by leveraging a decentralized and networked organization structure. Individual business centers—such as research, production, and marketing—are free to focus on their core competencies without worrying about the effects of corporate bloat.

This company has found continued marketplace success by positioning itself not simply as a sneaker company but as a brand that fulfills the evolving needs of today’s athletes and athletes-at-heart. Will Nike continue to profit from its organization structure, or will it spread itself so thin that its competition has a chance to overtake it?

Case Analysis Questions

Answer the following in up to 350 words each.

  • Describe the factors that drive Nike’s decision to stick with some form of network organizational structure rather than own its manufacturing operations.
  • Assess why Nike’s choice of a decentralized and networked organization structure worked well for them.
  • Summarize the current state of competition in this industry. Assess if Nike continuing to pull away from rivals, or if they are catching up.
  • Assess whether Nike’s organizational structure is still a major strength that contributes to its success, or if it is creating problems that will call for organizational design changes in the future.
  • Determine whether a matrix structure could improve performance for Nike.
