Critical Evaluation of usage and barriers of Social Media Marketing
$32.00FINAL CRITICAL LITERATURE REVIEW (85%)
The Final Critical Literature Review (2000 words), it should be noted, is worth 85% and
consideration will be given to the following:
- A comprehensive introduction
- Selection of appropriate resources
- Critical analysis and review of resources
- A comprehensive conclusion
- Presentation of work
The Final Critical Literature Review should demonstrate significant advancement from your
Progress Report — avoid the temptation of ‘cutting’ and ‘pasting’ large quantities of work
from your Progress Report. You should at this final stage, produce a Critical Literature
Review which shows evidence of wide and analytical reading, reflecting an outstanding
(critical) comprehension of literature in your chosen topic / subject area.
The following guidelines (for indicative purposes) have been adapted from a framework
proposed at the University of Warwick (1994 cited in Blaxter et al. 1997: 217) for structuring
a final year dissertation. You might find these useful:
- Introduction
Outline the research area — presenting the aim / objective(s) / research question(s), which
should relate to the literature review. Clearly and concisely state the reasons (or rationale)
for choosing the topic / subject area. Place your work in an academic and / industrial
context — how is it of use to the sector the topic / subject area relates to (industrial context)
and / or what debate are you developing in the academic realm? Briefly outline the structure
of your report — what is contained in each section. This will give the reader an indication
of what is to follow, and how your project, research and thought have been developed.
- Literature Review
This is a critical assessment of existing research in your chosen topic / subject area. The
critical review of literature should include contemporary resources and, also, depth and
breadth of arguments are important. The literature review should be placed into context in
view of the aim / objective(s) / research question(s). You need to show evidence that you
have read and understood relevant literature relating to your area of study. Arguments
should be clearly and concisely stated — you should be critically interpreting, analysing and
reflecting upon the literature in your review.
- Conclusion
Summarise the main arguments emerging from your critical review of the literature — your
conclusions need to be supported by the evidence presented in the literature review. You
need to return to the aim / objective(s) / research question(s) of your work — have these
been fulfilled? You need to evaluate your own progress and project outcomes — what
limitations would you identify? Are recommendations appropriate or necessary and if so are
they feasible and practical?
- References
All references cited in-text should be listed in-line with the Harvard format.
- Appendix
If required.
Appendices do not contribute to the word limit, nor are the marked. Appendices should be
used selectively to demonstrate information which is interesting and relevant, but not
integral.

Entry to Foreign Market Cameron International Corp
$30.00Cameron International Corporation with revenues of $6,134.8 million (FY 2010), net profit of $562.9 million (FY 2010) and an operating profit of $858.5 (FY 2010), provides flow equipment and pressure control equipment for both land and sea oil rigs. It manufactured the blowout preventer on the Transocean BP rig that failed. It operates in more than 100 countries through various contractual arrangements. The company has just recently ventured into FDI relationships with a purchase of a Brazilian company that manufactures products for the Brazilian oil and gas industry to support its expansion into that market. One of the weaknesses of the company is the overreliance on the U.S. market, making possible future joint ventures and equity purchases in foreign markets a viable strategy for expansion. Although the company has sales offices in Thailand and Malaysia, this area is a small portion of the company’s activities.
Recently, Myanmar, formerly Burma, has reversed a decade’s long policy of isolation imposed by the ruling military regime. Noted more for human rights abuses than anything else, Myanmar has suffered under sanctions and lack of involvement in the international community. In 2011, the country reversed course with the election of Thein Sein, a former military leader, the release of Aung San Suu Kyi, free elections, and negotiations with rebel groups. The country is very rich in oil and gas resources with extraction as the most productive sector, but the “business climate is widely perceived as opaque, corrupt, and highly inefficient. Wealth from country’s ample natural resources is concentrated in the hands of an elite group of military leaders and business associates.” (CIA World Fact Book, 2012)
As a consultant you have been asked to prepare a report on the pros and cons of market entry into Myanmar, the best means to enter, and potential difficulties if the company enters. The CFO has prepared a report stating that the break-even analysis supports both FDI and subcontracting.
Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:
- Determine which institutional and risk factors must be considered and whether they support entry or not.
- Conduct a VRIO analysis to determine whether entry is supported.
- Assess existing cultural issues to determine how they should be addressed should the company enter the market.
- Determine if the company should pursue FDI with potentially more risk and higher returns, or subcontract to provide component parts.
- Recommend which joint venture partners the company should approach and for what percentage if the company decides to engage in FDI.
- Determine the three (3) greatest difficulties that may develop and the strategies the company should pursue to these difficulties, should they arise.

Case flow management: Policy proposal analysis
$20.00Be sure to address case flow management.
·Address the following in a policy proposal of 1,500 words:
Another approach to the legislature’s interest in creating alternative approaches to dealing with juvenile offenders that would still be handled via the state court’s system might be a mandatory, court-ordered educational program for juveniles who have been subject to police contact on a first offense. Create a policy proposal for a court-mandated course that would be delivered in a classroom setting for youths ages 12–14 with behavioral problems who are affecting the community—for example, in the schools, in neighborhoods, or in local businesses. Within your policy, incorporate your responses to the following questions:
- Would this program be limited to juveniles who have been subject to police contact only for certain classes of offenses (e,g., non-violent, property-oriented, status offenses) with more serious offenses handled through a different approach?
- Would these juveniles still “go through the system” (i.e., be arrested, have a court date for hearing) or would this be a diversion program intended in part to side-step these individuals having a record at such a young age? Explain.
- How would the administrative office of the courts be involved in the running of this program? Explain.
- Would it be conducted as part of the ADR “wing” of the office as is a program such as truancy mediation or victim-offender dialogue programs? Explain.
- Where would the course be offered? Why?
- What types of people would be considered qualified to conduct/facilitate it? Explain.
- Are there staff adequately trained already, or would a position have to be opened and staff hired? Explain.
- Although a complete curriculum would not be part of this proposal, what are the types of topics that would need to be covered?
- Would the administrative office of the courts have any role in creating the actual content?
- Would the office oversee creation of the content to ensure its consistency with current law and preferred practices in the state in question?
- Are there any models out there that could be used that would allow creation of such a program with minimal cost and start-up time?
