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.

6. Data Analysis: Analyze the data collected during the implementation phase to evaluate the effectiveness of the framework in reducing the negative impact of corrosion and improving the long-term viability and cost-effectiveness of the industry.

7. Recommendations: Based on the results of the analysis, provide recommendations for the continuous improvement of the comprehensive corrosion management framework and its potential application as a framework for other companies in the region.

Discuss what forecasting horizon you have chosen for your company and why. Explain what terminal value growth rate you intend to use in your perpetuity free cash flow model and what you have done to prepare the cash flows for the terminal value calculation.

Financial Question

  1. Create a MS Excel financial model that represents your views of the future prospects of your target company. The financial model is to include forecasts for at least five years. Your model should contain a complete set of financial statements and appropriate supplemental schedules. Thus, at a minimum your forecasts should include an income statement, balance sheet, statement of cash flows (that reconciles to the change in cash), free cash flow statement ( in a separate tab). Your Model should have a tab that clearly shows the drivers or key factors (or Input) for the model. This section should also clearly show your Forecast Assumptions which will “drive” all your forecasts and later will be used for Sensitivity and Scenario Analysis.
  1. Provide a discussion of the method you used to forecast the key factor(s) driving the firm’s operations. Your discussion should answer the following questions: What are the key factors that drive the operations of the firm? How did you conclude that these are the key factors? How did you forecast these key factors?
  1. For the tax rate projection, it is okay to just use the firm’s historical effective tax rate [i.e., taxes paid divided by earnings before taxes].
  1. Discuss what forecasting horizon you have chosen for your company and why. Explain what terminal value growth rate you intend to use in your perpetuity free cash flow model and what you have done to prepare the cash flows for the terminal value calculation.
  1. Discuss the reasonableness of the forecasts you have generated using whatever metrics you believe would be relevant. Discuss the methods you used to check the overall reasonableness of your forecasts. Include any relevant graphs or tables you think demonstrate the reasonableness of your forecasts. If there are elements of your forecasts that you were not able to make reasonable, indicate what they are and how it is that the forecasts appear unreasonable.

Application of Theory

After working through the Theoretical Foundations Powerpoint, select only one of the theories and discuss its usefulness in the context of managing organizations. Use online peer-reviewed journal research (case study research is best) to inform your writing, and to advance the theoretical discussion beyond what you encountered in the PowerPoint. You may select a theory that you will eventually use elsewhere in the course.

The Theory: Chaos Theory

Chaos Theory
●Chaos is more long-term than short-term
●Behavior in chaotic systems is aperiodic,
●May evolve in a way that appears to be smooth and ordered
●Chaos refers to the issue of whether or not it is possible to make accurate long-term predictions of any system if the initial conditions are known to an accurate degree.

Identify the consequences of having dissatisfied employees and describe ways of applying the four theories of job satisfaction and how you would use them to boost job satisfaction. Discuss how intrinsic and extrinsic motivation factors affect job satisfaction.

When answering consider how goals may help with job satisfaction and how to design jobs to enhance motivation.
