EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Identify a number of hazardous manual tasks for your industry sector, that being more than three (3). Refer to Sara’s lecture and the fact that ‘manual handling’ is not a risk. It is healthy to undertake physical work. What you need to identify is those tasks where there are ergonomic risk factors that then make a manual handling task, hazardous. Think about the tasks Sara highlighted this week, like laying the tape on the road, it is specific, it is an actual task, not a generic risk like ‘slip trip falls’.

2. Of that list, select three (3) and support why those three, using research to support why you selected them. you may consider that perhaps they are significant for the industry (note there may then already be current effective risk controls in place and you’ll need to identify ways to explore them, which may pose a challenge); they are not currently addressed, or their frequency is of a concern or another valid ground.
3. Using the three domains of ergonomics, unpack why the manual tasks are hazardous.
4. Using the three domains of ergonomcis to explore risk controls that influence a reduction in the hazards.
5. Consider whether you can design a solution and how to implement it, whether that is inventing a device (plant) or a system, or other means that you can support in your evaluation on why it reduces the hazardous manual task.

identify ergonomic/human factors risks, including those that would be

categorised as Hazardous Manual Tasks involving ergonomic/human factor considerations. Of

these, select three ergonomic risk factors and hazards in your opinion that warrant analysing

for your sector and address the following:

Provide solutions and recommendations to the following workplace and industry

challenges

1) Analyse literature and the work system, to identify ergonomic/human factor risks

relevant to your selected sector, evidencing why.

Identify appropriate methods to measure, and where possible, provide measurements,

including your own task analysis evaluations.

3) Assess the ergonomic/ human factor conditions using appropriate tools, and

4) Design solutions using ergonomic/human factor methods, including general, task and

systems design.

You may wish to have regard to physical, cognitive (including psychosocial) and organisational

ergonomics. You may also select to explore the construct of the workforce for an

ergonomic/human factor contributing factor (such as aging, disabled workers, cultural

diversities, long term employees, youth transiting the sector temporarily, and/or new

employees with pre-existing ergonomic/chronic health related health issues), specific work

areas or job roles, emerging technology and trends as well as customers. You may also wish to

explore ‘risk interaction’ (MSD risk interaction with other hazards/risks, for example chemical

exposure) relevant for your industry sector.

PROJECT #2

 

Objective: Project 2 provides students the opportunity to develop a survey questionnaire and strategy that they could use to explore a research topic that interests them. You won’t be working with data so you won’t need Excel for this.

Step 1: Choose a topic. Examples of surveys, some of which include reports based on the results, can be found in the Survey Examples folder. Prepare a brief introduction to your topic for a hypothetical lay reader. Clearly explain why your topic is interesting. Provide an explicit statement of your research question or questions (15 points).

Step 2: Create a survey questionnaire (30 points).

• The survey must have at least 20 questions and no more than 40 questions.
• The survey must contain at least 10 nominal variables, at least 10 ordinal variables.

Step 3: Prepare a table that lists the name, brief description, and the level of measurement for each variable (35 points).

Here’s an example to give you an idea of what your table should look like.

Let’s say you have a question that measures support for a statewide smoking ban in Missouri that would prohibit smoking in all workplaces, restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues. This question could be followed by a question concerning the respondent’s political affiliation. The questions would look something like this:

(1) Missouri should adopt a statewide smoking ban that would prohibit smoking in all workplaces, restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues.

1 – Strongly disagree

2 – Disagree

3 – Neither agree nor disagree

4 – Agree

5 – Strongly agree

(2) Please circle the response that best describes your political affiliation:

1 – Republican

2 – Democrat

3 – Independent

In the table, the questions could be classified like this:

Question	Description	Level of Measurement
1	Measure of support for statewide smoking ban	Ordinal
2	Measure of political affiliation	Nominal

 

There are several different ways to do this, but it should be easy to read. It should also demonstrate that you understand the different levels of measurement.

Step 4: Develop a description of your research design (20 points).

• This section should include a plan for distributing the survey (by mail, web, or telephone, etc.). Make sure that you clearly describe the kind of sample you’re going to collect (simple random, stratified random, cluster, etc.) , your target sample size, and how you’re going to distribute the surveys (mail, telephone, in-person, online, or some combination of those methods). You should also discuss whether your sampling and delivery strategies are prone to any of the forms of bias discussed in the video lecture on sampling. You should also discuss whether your delivery strategy is likely to lead to an adequate response rate. What do you expect your response rate to be? Why? An exact estimate isn’t necessary. Think about what you would need your response rate to be in order to have a reasonably low margin of error and a sample that is representative of your target population. Talk about whether your strategy is likely to achieve those goals. The Schueren article discusses these issues for survey delivery strategies other than online surveys. To get the relevant information on online surveys, you’ll probably need to do some additional research.

 

Step 5: Submit all of these items in one Word document on Blackboard.

Background

“Should be written from the perspectives of the golden rule according to dictionary is “a basic principle that should be followed to ensure success in general or in a particular activity, the biblical rule of “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Matt. 7:12). noun: Golden Rule; plural noun: Golden Rules

When we translate the Golden Rule like this:

“Whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” Jesus brilliantly condenses the entire Old Testament into this single principle, taken from Leviticus 19:18: “Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.”

Again, we see the implication that people are naturally lovers of self, and the command uses that human flaw as a place to start in how to treat others… “our Neighbors”

Read the following paragraph. Questions 1-4 refer to this paragraph.

1.Smith, Jones, & Terry 2008 investigated the effects of death-qualification on jurors’ confidence. A “death-qualified” juror is one who is willing to give the death penalty. 60 college students were randomly assigned to one of 2 different conditions. In both conditions, participants completed a short questionnaire that asked them whether they would or would not be willing to give the death penalty. In the first condition, participants reported aloud their response, and those participants who were not willing to give the death penalty were asked to leave the experiment. In the other condition, participants handed in their response on a written survey. Again, the researchers told participants who were not willing to give the death penalty to leave. After participants unwilling to give the death penalty left, the researchers told the remaining 45 “death-qualified” participants to fill out surveys regarding how confident they felt in their original death-qualification answers. The researchers found that, “participants in the verbal response condition were more confident in their death qualification status than participants in the written response condition”. The researchers concluded that making public commitments about death-qualification status makes participants more confident in their death-qualified status.

The paragraph above has several APA formatting errors. Your job is to spot at least four errors, which you will describe. Below, type in the errors and the corrections for that error. (If you see less than four errors, then type “no other errors”). Assume that the paragraph above is in the literature review of a paper (in the introduction). You can also assume that it has 1 inch margins and is double spaced. As it is just a paragraph, it does not need a heading or a running head. (0.25 point for each error spotted, or 1 points total)

2.This paragraph is actually fictional, but imagine that you want to reference the William Smith, Beth J. Jones, and Bennett Terry article, and that it was published it in May, 2008 in Law and Human Behavior, volume 8, pages 234-267. Their title was, “Death Qualification: The Question Format Matters.” In the box below, write out the correct reference in APA format. Note – there is no doi for this journal article.

“Should Tim Horton’s Expand into the Chinese Market”

Type of document       Essay

2 Pages Double Spaced (approx 275 words per page)

Subject area     Economics

Academic Level          Undergraduate

Style    APA

Number of sources/references 3

Order description:

The following section only need to be completed:

 

Evaluation of the fast food industry in China and the coffee and donuts niche. Market structure, major players, market shares and offering, the elasticity of demand, competitive advantages or weaknesses, opportunities and threats in this sector of business, new trends, etc.

 

Special considerations in setting up business in China: maintain Horton’s identity or joint venture, taxes, intellectual property, hiring workers, compliance with laws and regulations, special characteristics of Chinese customers, the monetary policy of the government that affects the currency exchange rates

 

 

Background Information

 

You have been asked by the President of Tim Hortons Inc.’s (TMI) (Click here to review the TMI Case Study) to provide some consulting (advisory) service. Tim Hortons is considering opening its line of restaurants in China and is looking for a feasibility study that will include macroeconomic analysis and estimates of market potentials for THI products.

 

There is a strong interest from investors in Hong Kong because there are a large number of Canadians in that country. Hong Kong, a former British colony, operates as an autonomous state but it is part of China. Opening THI restaurants in China can be considered as a two-stage process: (1) first open in Hong Kong and then (2) move into China.

 

Hot on the heels of the success (or perhaps trying to show you can improve upon a less-than-satisfying performance) of your first foray into the assessment of macroeconomic conditions of a country (i.e., your research essay), you have decided to join forces with three of your peers to take it to the next level. You have formed a small consulting company and are bidding on a major project with a major client – Tim Horton’s Incorporated (THI).

 

THI has issued a challenge asking for recommendations on whether they should or should not strengthen their investment in one of the fastest growing economies of the world: the People’s Republic of China (China). Your team will consider the macroeconomic environment of China and its trends, and then examine the feasibility of establishing a formal presence for Tim Hortons within the boundaries of China. If you recommend that THI should enter this market, then you must also list the various steps that it should take to ensure its success. Should you recommend that the market is not suitable, then you must present a strong argument as to why.

 

As a further twist, your team will have some competition. Other teams will be given the same opportunity to prepare their recommendations on the same project using the same case study as a starting point, so you need to find a way to find, select, and package your information that will be the most engaging, creative, and persuasive. THI will hire the most convincing group to help them in the broader project.

 

Some questions to think about as you approach your research are:

 

Should you use Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) to get an idea of the buying power of the Chinese consumers?

 

How about the exchange, inflation, and interest rate? How do they have any bearing on your analysis?

 

How about the unemployment rate in China – how does it affect your analysis?

 

What are the expected price and income elasticities of demand for THI products in China?

 

Do you think that THI should modify its menu for the Chinese market? If so, elaborate on this.

Starbucks, McDonald’s, and many other Western fast food chains are already in China. How these will affect THI’s growth and success?
