STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF PROJECTS – Reflective Practice Paper
$55.00Research shows that experienced managers can make significant advances in developing their knowledge and capabilities through processes of reflective practice and experiential learning and this is in line with the increasing emphasis on facilitating reflective learning in higher education. Traditional forms of assessment are not always appropriate for busy managers on part-time programmes and the opportunity for managers to reflect on their own experience is highly relevant to professional development programmes where the emphasis is more on preparing people for the realities of real-world practice than on academic research. Moreover, this approach is completely aligned with the aims of the Global MBA programme as we make explicit the link between the course content built around project management concepts introduced by UoM faculty and the students’ current roles in their workplaces.
The reflective practice paper uses a dynamic learning framework to help structure the reflection process around each student’s current role and responsibilities, including their professional experience to date. An introduction to appropriate concepts is used as the source of questions for reflecting on the student’s own approach to managing projects, resulting in various insights and actions that the student might implement in future projects. The selection of relevant course concepts by the student is a crucial part of the process, but whatever concepts are chosen, they should always be specific to the student’s work role, thus enabling the learning process to be student-driven and directly centred on the student’s particular interests and concerns. In summary, the whole process is about enriching students’ current knowledge and experience through structured reflection and clearly connecting the codified knowledge discussed in the module materials and workshop and the tacit knowledge of managing projects.
The overall structure of the reflective practice paper is shown in figure 1. It has five elements:
A Student in Work Role The student poses structure questions about their current work role, and previous experience as appropriate.
B Module Concepts The student researches more deeply and fully understands module concepts appropriate to his or her current work role.
C Reflective Assessment: Ideas and Insights. This is about linking theory to practice and is therefore the core of the reflective practice paper where the student is asked to connect the first and second stages to generate new insights into how their role can be performed more effectively.
D Key Learning Points and Actions. This section summarises the learning through the reflective practice process and identifies potential routes for implementation.
E Critical Reflection. Here the student critically reviews the process of preparing the reflective practice experience and how it has developed their capability as a project manager with the aim of identifying what they would do differently in the future.

Occupation Tax
$5.00We end this course with the same gentleman that we began the course with, Adam Smith. In the “Wealth of Nations”, Smith devotes a full third of his founding treatise on economics to political economy, justice, and taxation. In examining the different forms of taxation, Smith adheres to four maxims which a good tax should conform to:
“The subject of every State ought to contribute towards the support of the government, as nearly as possible, in proportion to their respective abilities; that is, in proportion to the revenue which they respectively enjoy under the protection of the State.”
“The tax each individual is bound to pay ought to be certain, and not arbitrary. The time of payment, the manner of payment, and the quantity to be paid, ought all to be clear and plain to the contributor, and to ever other person.”
“Every tax ought to be levied at the time, or in the manner in which it is most likely to be convenient for the contributor to pay it.”
“Every tax ought to be so contrived as both to take out and to keep out of the pockets of the people as little as possible, over and above what it brings into the public treasury of the State.”
Note first that Smith regards taxes as inevitable in a market economy and that “all should contribute to the support of the government”. . we need those public goods. Note also that Smith identifies with the “benefits received ” principle of taxation when he suggests that taxes should be paid by those whom have benefitted from things of value “enjoyed by the protection of the State.” He also identifies with the “ability to pay” principle of taxation in that he wants taxes to be “proportional to abilities” and income.
Finally, note that Smith is a clear advocate of minimizing taxes so as to minimize any distortions on productive and allocative efficiency as we have studied those concepts in this course . . and in order to preserve and promote free enterprise.
Instructions:
Pick a particular tax. You can use one as described in your text in Chapters Five and/or Thirty One or another at the Federal, State, or local level that you know of. But NOT ONE ALREADY POSTED BY A CLASSMATE! So first come, first serve on this one. Just read your fellow classmates postings beforehand. Also, everyone pick just one tax, keep the pool open for your classmates.
Indicate whether you think the tax meets Adam Smith’s criteria as identified and explained above. Is it efficient? Is it equitable and just?
