Paper 2: How should we solve the problem?

Prompt: Argue a solution to your problem from Paper 1.

Objectives
• Write a 4-5 page argument that proposes a solution to your problem from Paper 1.
• Compile and use at least 4 college appropriate sources to support your solution. At least three of these sources must be new (not used in Paper 1). Also, one of the three sources must present an opposing view to your argument.
• Present a single, focused proposal to the problem. A proposal may have parts, but they must work together as a single solution; this cannot be multiple solutions.
• Effectively support a proposal claim using logical reasons that have a unique relation to one another. These reasons should be important to the audience.
• Use detailed evidence to support the claim and reasons.
• Include a fair and respectful rebuttal paragraph.
• Format the paper and document your research in MLA style.

Directions
• Research info on how to deal with your problem in Paper 1. If you decide to change problems, it must be related to the group’s chosen topic, not be a problem another group member is doing, and must be accepted by the professor.
• Decide on a solution you will propose. Make sure it is a single solution. The solution can have different steps or parts, but all steps and parts must work together to achieve your outcome. You can create your own unique solution, put together pieces from others’ ideas to formulate a new solution, or advocate for someone’s solution.
• Decide on the reasons that support your solution. Reasons should prove that the solution will work, that it is the best possible solution, and/or that the solution has added benefits.
• Support the reasons with specific evidence from college appropriate sources. Make sure to explain how or why the evidence supports your claim and reasons.
• In at least one paragraph but no more than half your number of reasons, refute an opposing viewpoint. Consider refuting someone who disagrees with your solution, why they are incorrect and your solution will work; refuting an opposing solution, either why it does not work or why your solution is better; or someone who has a specific problem with your solution, why their problem is mute.
• Make sure to cite all sources using MLA rules.
• Make sure to format the paper is MLA style.
• Revise, edit, and proofread your paper.

A Case Study Approach to a Comprehensive Corrosion Management Framework for the West African Oil and Gas Industry.

Rationale for Project Work
A more complete solution is needed for the enormous problem of corroded and leaky pipes in the West African oil and gas industry than only reactive maintenance and composite repair techniques. It is essential to take into account both technical and non-engineering integrity measures in a thorough corrosion management approach to handle this issue.

Aim:
With a focus on minimising the detrimental effects of corrosion and enhancing long-term viability and cost-effectiveness, the objective of this thesis is to develop and implement a comprehensive corrosion management framework for ageing piping systems and pipelines in the West African oil and gas industry.

Objectives
1. To examine the current corrosion management practices in the West African oil and gas industry, including the use of technical and non-engineering measures.
2. To identify the root causes of corrosion in pipes and their impact on the industry.
3. To develop a comprehensive corrosion management framework incorporating both technical and non-engineering measures.
4. To implement the framework in a case study in West Africa and evaluate its effectiveness in reducing the negative impact of corrosion and improving the long-term viability and cost-effectiveness of the industry.
5. To provide recommendations for the ongoing improvement of the corrosion management framework and its potential application as a framework for other companies in the region.

Methodology
1. Literature Review: Conduct a comprehensive review of the existing literature on corrosion management practices in the oil and gas industry, including technical and non-engineering integrity measures, to identify the current state of the art and best practices.

2. Data Collection: Collect data from relevant sources, including oil and gas companies in West Africa, industry reports, government regulations and standards, and academic research. This data will be used to support the analysis and development of the comprehensive corrosion management framework. The data collected will be analysed using both quantitative and qualitative methods, including statistical analysis, content analysis, and thematic analysis. The data analysis will help to identify patterns, trends, and relationships in the data, providing insights into the challenges faced by the oil and gas industry in managing corrosion in pipes and the potential impact of the comprehensive framework.

3. Case Study Analysis: Conduct a case study analysis of a selected oil and gas company in West Africa to examine the current corrosion management practices in place and identify the root causes of corrosion in pipes.

4. Framework Development: Based on the literature review and case study analysis, develop a comprehensive corrosion management framework incorporating both technical and non-engineering integrity measures.

5. Framework Implementation: Implement the developed framework in the selected case study company and monitor its effectiveness over a specified period of time.

Analyze the case and brainstorm to help you with what will you do with Steve? What leadership models and principles are applicable in this case?

The Notorious Business Professor

As the Dean of a business school, you are faced with a young business school professor who is affecting the department. He is competing for tenure, and you will need to make this decision in the near future. He has several positive and negative characteristics that you need to weigh in making a tenure decision; you are scheduled to meet with him about how he can improve his chances of being granted tenure.

Steve is one of eight professors in the business school at a large, public university. His job responsibilities include teaching two classes per semester, developing a management research program, and advising and developing Ph.D. candidates. He has been at the school for five years and has worked extremely hard to get tenure. Student ratings of his undergraduate classes are fairly solid; most students rated Steve as being an above-average teacher in terms of their enjoyment, his level of knowledge, and his ability to stimulate critical thinking in class. Steve has already published several articles in some of the top management journals and has won several prestigious awards for outstanding research. Because of his research, Steve is on the fast track to becoming one of the top researchers in his field and already has a national reputation for his work. However, Steve has had a woeful track record with respect to developing and graduating Ph.D. candidates. Steve has yet to be on a Ph.D. dissertation committee or be an advisor to any Ph.D. candidate in the program.

As the dean of the business school, you believe Steve’s problems with attracting and graduating Ph.D. candidates may stem from several factors. First, Steve does not believe the business school, nor the Ph.D. candidates are very good, even though the school has a national reputation for excellence. Steve graduated with honors from another nationally renowned business school, and often openly comments about how difficult his program was compared to your program. Steve also believes few of the Ph.D. candidates are worthy of his attention, and although he had hired more than 12 of them over the past three years to work as research assistants in his management research program, none lasted more than two years. Virtually all of the research assistants believed Steve wanted too much of their time and effort and that he was insensitive to their plight as graduate students. Perhaps Steve’s attitude towards his research assistants was best summed up when he fired his most senior research assistant for not being able to help with a series of laboratory studies being conducted over a particular weekend. You later found out the research assistant asked Steve to delay the laboratory studies so that he could attend his uncle’s funeral. Steve said the experiments were crucial and could not be delayed any longer. The research assistant said nothing could deter him from attending his uncle’s funeral, and Steve fired the assistant immediately after he returned from the funeral. Along these lines, when Ph.D. candidates were giving seminar presentations to the other students and professors in the business school, Steve would take every opportunity to ask questions designed solely to make himself look brilliant and the presenter look incompetent and foolish. You have received numerous complaints from both the graduate students and several of the professors in your school about Steve’s behavior.

Second, Steve’s work schedule is designed to minimize his contact with others; he works from 2:00 PM until 6:00 AM every day of the week (including Saturdays and Sundays). Moreover, if for some reason students do want to see him, they have to schedule an appointment. Steve would usually schedule his meetings with students for 8:00 PM on Friday or Saturday nights. Because of his unusual work hours, one of Steve’s biggest claims to fame among graduate students was his role in preventing a computer theft from taking place at school at 3:00 AM on a Saturday morning, which just so happened to also be Christmas morning.

Third, Steve’s difficulties in attracting and developing Ph.D. candidates may be related to his age and his previous experience in dealing with others. Steve is a relatively young Ph.D. ‑ he went to graduate school immediately after college and some of the Ph.D. candidates in the business school are older than he is. Steve also went through a very competitive graduate program in which an individual, rather than cooperative and collaborative efforts were encouraged. Similarly, Steve has never had a “real” job, and his current position is the first-ever giving him authority over others.

As the dean of the business school, you are aware of the fact that Steve has managed to bring in over $600,000 in corporate and government grants in support of his management research program, and this program has made a considerable contribution to the prestige of the business school and accounts for over 50 percent of the school’s research budget. You are also aware that Steve’s reputation among graduate students is becoming so notorious that it is beginning to affect the applicant pool for the graduate school. Many of the graduate students are beginning to tell applicants to go somewhere else for their degree if possible, and the six applicants accepted into the school last year opted to go to other programs. Although the department has never been particularly cohesive and you have never had close relationships with most of the other professors in the business school, you feel Steve’s behavior has caused these relationships to be more strained than ever before.

A year from now you will make a decision concerning Steve’s tenure. Three of the school’s professors have been direct recipients of Steve’s research (in terms of money and publications) and think he should be given tenure. The other four professors believe Steve’s behavior is inexcusable and granting Steve tenure will reward his condescending attitude towards students and will make his dismissal in the future virtually impossible. Steve has scheduled a meeting with you this afternoon and wants to know what he can do to improve his chances of getting tenure.

Answer for the question 200 words total 500 words. The question is Read the case study below and answer the following questions:

  • Analyze the case and brainstorm to help you with what will you do with Steve?
  • What leadership models and principles are applicable in this case?
  • What leadership styles, powers, and influence tactics will you use?
  • What behaviors and traits are evident with the professors? Can you change them?
