Our reading this week emphasizes the role of demand management in creating a coordinated flow of demand across the supply chain. Experience shows that selecting the best method of estimating demand will vary with the maturity of the business and the data available. Address the following:
(1200 Words)
For the second response paper we are focusing on providing a summary of ONE article, and then an analysis/response of the article on its own or in conversation with other articles.
QUALITIES OF A SUMMARY
A good summary should be comprehensive, concise, coherent, and independent. These qualities are explained below:
A summary must be comprehensive: You should isolate all the important points in the original passage and note them down in a list. Review all the ideas on your list, and include in your summary all the ones that are indispensable to the author’s development of her/his thesis or main idea.
A summary must be concise: Eliminate repetitions in your list, even if the author restates the same points. Your summary should be considerably shorter than the source. You are hoping to create an overview; therefore, you need not include every repetition of a point or every supporting detail.
A summary must be coherent: It should make sense as a piece of writing in its own right; it should not merely be taken directly from your list of notes or sound like a disjointed collection of points.
A summary must be independent: You are not being asked to imitate the author of the text you are writing about. On the contrary, you are expected to maintain your own voice throughout the summary. Don’t simply quote the author; instead use your own words to express your understanding of what you have read. After all, your summary is based on your interpretation of the writer’s points or ideas. However, you should be careful not to create any misrepresentation or distortion by introducing comments or criticisms of your own.
Summarizing Shorter Texts (ten pages or fewer)
Write a one-sentence summary of each paragraph.
Formulate a single sentence that summarizes the whole text.
Write a paragraph (or more): begin with the overall summary sentence and follow it with the paragraph summary sentences.
Rearrange and rewrite the paragraph to make it clear and concise, to eliminate repetition and relatively minor points, and to provide transitions. The final version should be a complete, unified, and coherent.
Summarizing Longer Texts (more than ten pages)
Outline the text. Break it down into its major sections—groups of paragraphs focused on a common topic—and list the main supporting points for each section.
Write a one or two sentence summary of each section.
Formulate a single sentence to summarize the whole text, looking at the author’s thesis or topic sentences as a guide.
Write a paragraph (or more): begin with the overall summary sentence and follow it with the section summary sentences.
Rewrite and rearrange your paragraph(s) as needed to make your writing clear and concise, to eliminate relatively minor or repetitious points, and to provide transitions. Make sure your summary includes all the major supporting points of each idea. The final version should be a complete, unified, and coherent.

Achebe, “Chike’s School Days” p. 827-830 (Vol. F)
Your essay response will require three examples from different authors throughout the term.
Imagine that a week or two after finishing this course, you’re in a conversation with someone who asks, “why should we read literature from countries or cultures other than our own?” What is your response? Whether arguing for or against the value of world literature and literature from other cultures (because you can totally argue that it is a waste of time, as long as you support your comments, and still get a good grade in the course), keep in mind that you still need to use three specific textual examples (either as a direct quotation or a paraphrase, and you should give me the page number) to support your overall point of view.
As this prompt asks for your own opinion, using “I” in this essay response is okay, but try to use it only as much as necessary (in other words, avoid starting every sentence with “I think” or “I believe” or “in my opinion”—try to vary your sentence structure).

Homework Assignment 1
Due in Week 1 and worth 30 points
Describe a work task, a hobby, or another activity that you regularly do, and sequentially list the various actions you take in order to complete this activity. You will need to repeat this activity to see if the changes you engage in will assist in reducing the amount of time. Consider the complexity of your list and the amount of steps required to complete the activity. Choose an activity that you complete on a daily basis. Please consider the choices below:
Preparing for a jog, workout, or other sports related activity.
Cooking a meal or preparing a sandwich.
Making coffee in the morning.
Cleaning the house.
Washing the car.
Bathing/grooming your dog or cat.
Setting up a grill to BBQ.
Answer the following questions in the space provided below:
To answer the questions follow the example below. The main objective of this assignment is to understand the difference between “doing and improving.”
Example for Assignment 1
Description of activity: One of my hobbies is cycling. I participate in fund raising events throughout the year. These events require proper cycling attire and resources such as special drinks to help with hydration and special snacks to maintain endurance and eliminate the chances of my bonking during the ride. Below is a description of my before and after attempts taken to improve the amount of time each step took.
1.How many steps did it take you to complete the activity?
It took me 10 steps to complete the activity from waking up to arriving at the cycling
event. The event began at 7 am in the morning requiring I arrive by no later than 6:30 am.
Sleeping as much as possible is important so I would like to save some time in the
morning for sleep in lieu of having to get ready.
2.What time did each step take and how much time was delayed between steps?
Comparing the times between my first ride and now, you can see I have managed to save
time by preparing ahead of time.
In my case this is not applicable as the steps are separated in purpose unlike making a sandwich or mean where steps are interconnected.
4.What was the average time each attempt took?
It took me 95 minutes to get out the door the first time and 29 minutes to get out the door the second time. This resulted in a 66-minute reduction in time from getting up to arriving at the event. The first attempt took an average of 9.5 times and the second attempt took an average of 2.9 times.
5.Differentiate the main actions between doing and improving your activities.
The initial cycling event I attended, I was a novice and was unaware of how much time it takes me to get out the door to go cycling. Since I was under a time constraint
6.Determine the overall manner in which variation has affected your activities.
The standard deviation for the two activities were respectively 6.8 and 5.1 minutes
7.Overall, how much time were you able to cut down on when engaging in the same activity while implementing the new changes?
I was able to reduce my time by 66 minutes.

Introduction to Public Administration – Week 3 Assignment
For this assignment you will need to find a public administrator to interview. You may want to reach out to your local government and ask if you can interview your local City Manager or even the Parks & Recreation Manager. The interview could take anywhere from 15-60 minutes depending on the level of detail discussed.
Below is a list of sample questions that you will want to ask in your interview. You will also need to develop your own questions to add to this list. Once the interview is complete you will submit a 3-4 page summary and reflection of the interview including a list of the questions discussed and a record of your interviewee’s answers. You may want to record the interview in order to provide an accurate record of your participant’s responses.
In writing your reflection, consider what you learned from this experience and how it applies to your interests in public administration.
Questions you will want to ask:
1.Describe your current position.
2.What are your organizations goals, values, and/or mission statement?
3.How did you come to work as a public administrator?
4.What is the most challenging aspect of your role?
5.What do you find most enjoyable about this line of work?
6.What do you find it the least enjoyable thing about this line of work?
7.What are the typical issues/conflicts that you must deal with on a regular basis?
8.We have discussed intergovernmental relations in class. How does your agency work with other governmental agencies?
9.How do you approach decision-making in your role? Are there specific models or guidelines that your organization endorses?
10.How is your organization held accountable? What happens if the organizational goals are not met?
If you were to give any advice to someone considering a career in public administration, what would you tell them?
You should cite specifics to support your argument. Your essay will need clear organization (with transitions) and support for the thesis. This support will come from the text, and you will need to explain how the examples from the text support the thesis.
Make sure that you are prioritizing analysis over summary. Beware of over-quoting and/or not integrating or discussing included quotations. Cite all quotations and paraphrases in MLA format. Include a works cited entry at the end of your essay.
At the conclusion of the exam, turn in your index card, the short story, scrap paper, this prompt, if you printed it out, and your bluebook essay.
Choose one of the theses bolded below and write an essay that supports the thesis with strong, specific support from the text.
Throughout “The Glass Factory,” the narrator’s smiles are a cover for her confusion, uncertainty, or concern; however, her final smile is born of knowledge and ultimately functions to protect her mother.
The clear plastic bag in “The Glass Factory” symbolizes the truths that the narrator comes to understand about her parents.
The question of identity is at the heart of “The Glass Factory,” as the narrator creates a false identity to survive at the factory despite her confusion upon realizing that the person she’s known only as mother also created a separate identity, “Kim.”
“The Glass Factory” demonstrates how the struggle immigrants face for self-preservation and self-respect brings them together as they attempt to survive in a foreign land without legal protection.
