IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WORD LIMIT REQUIREMENTS:

Please note that each and every assignment has its own word limit.

P-values and Confidence Intervals

In a hypothesis test, P-value assists in determining the meaning of results. The p-value is an alternative way to reject points to give the least level of significance at which the null hypothesis would be rejected (“P Values”). If a p-value is small this will mean that evidence is strong and in favor of the alternative hypothesis (“P Values”). They are calculated by using tables, spreadsheets, and statistical software. Confidence intervals are the probability that a population parameter will come in between two set values for a specific amount of time (Kenton, 2020). Confidence intervals can take any number of prospects, with commonalities of being 95% or 99% confidence level (Kenton, 2020).

Three reasons why it may be preferable to report a Confidence Interval over a P-value and example

Three reasons the Confidence Interval would be preferable over a P-value would be when using the confidence interval as a test or significance, giving an estimated range of values that most likely include an unknown population parameter and determining the width of the Confidence level. For an example of the (CI), the width would be determining the mean age in a population, the danger of developing a certain outcome (Kenton, 2020). Another example is the study that was conducted by Brinton and colleagues who studied infertile patients. Patients of this study went through evaluation for infertility and results showed a significantly higher rate of ovarian cancer among those being evaluated of those with ovarian cancer (Attia, n.d.). The general population was of female data using a standardized incidence ratio, (CI) (Attia, n.d.). Based on the data and using (CI), this meant that infertile females have a higher ovarian cancer incidence than non-infertile females.

Topic: Starting and Naming a Business

Before you complete the following steps, see the Discussion Board Forum 3 Case Study;  the Discussion Board Forum – Thread Grading Rubric and the Discussion Board Forum – Replies Grading Rubrics; as well as the specific requirements of the post, including length, scholarly sources, and citations.

Prompt:

Complete the following steps:

Advise Shania on which of the business forms under consideration best accomplishes her business goals. Thoroughly explain the reasons for your recommendation.

Advise Shania on whether her company should become a franchise or should open as an independent coffeehouse. Explain your recommendation.

Perform a corporate name search at this website to determine if the name Shania is considering is available for use in the State of Colorado. Also assess whether the name is available as a trademark. Even if the name is available, advise Shania on whether it is a good choice. Explain why or why not.

Advise Shania on which of the interested persons she should include in her business, why, and in what role(s). If she chooses not to take in a particular party, what reasons should she give each person, if any? Your analysis must include biblical perspectives, such as biblical considerations of marriage and of business relationships with non-believers.

Each thread must be at least 1,000 words and will analyze a provided Case Study. For each thread, you must support your assertions with a minimum of 3 scholarly sources other than the course textbook and materials. Each source must be cited in current APA format. Each thread must include both full citations in a reference list at the end of each post and short in-text citations. Acceptable sources include books, legal and business journals, legal cases, the law (cases, statutes, regulations, etc.), the Bible, biblical commentary, etc. Dictionaries and other web sources that lack scholarly support are not considered acceptable sources.

A well-developed, complete analysis of the situation, from a spiritual perspective, requires more than simply adding a verse from the Bible to the post. Each thread will include at least 2 separate verses from Scripture, quoted and applied as an integral part of your discussion of the applicable issues in the context of a biblical worldview.

Shania Jackson is a mature Christian thinking of opening a Christian coffeehouse near Denver, Colorado. Her husband, Marvin, is open to making a contribution of capital to the business, but he has no interest in participating in its operation or management.

Shania’s sister, Kelsey, is a new Christian who has told Shania that she’s been looking for an excuse to get out of the house and would love to be a part of the business. Kelsey’s husband, a non-Christian, opposes his wife’s involvement and has told her that he expects her to remain a stay-at-home mom to their two children, ages 13 and 15.

Shania’s neighbor, Carlos, is a non-Christian who has also expressed an interest in participating in the business as a way to earn extra income. Carlos thinks the “Christian thing” has potential with all the big churches in the area, including a Mormon temple and a large Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

In researching the coffee business, Shania comes across a few franchise opportunities, some of which would require her to adopt the franchise name and trade dress, as well as others that would only require her to move into a turn-key facility and agree to purchase a certain volume of product every month for a period of at least 10 years. Both types of franchises offer training for her and any staff she might hire.

Shania has considered organizing her business as a sole proprietorship, a partnership of some sort, a corporation of some sort, an LLC, or even a joint venture. She is thinking of calling the business “The Gathering Place.”

/in /by

The paper will be a research and analytical endeavor of a current, controversial, narrowly focused topic, involving business directly or indirectly, that has legal, ethical, and social responsibility ramifications. The term paper will be approximately 15-25, double-spaced, pages in text length, not including cover page or Appendices, with length depending on topic and whether individual or group effort, and if the latter the size of the group.

The paper must be written according to APA style; and be carefully and currently referenced. Appropriate references are critical. This is a research paper in addition to an analytical paper, and thus the student must use at least 6 different sources, including books and textbooks, though at the graduate level preference should be given to published journal articles. Other sources may be organizational websites, government websites, or other reputable Internet sources. Since a requirement of the paper is that the topic be a “current” one, so too should be the references. Be sure to try to use published journal articles or books as sources, and not less-reliable Internet websites. Reference the paper very carefully and appropriately. Students may use a company’s website, but do so sparingly, and remember that what a company has on its own website may be positively biased in its favor. Academic integrity is of the utmost importance in this term paper; so cite all sources and use APA style for citations and quotations in the text.

Appearance, punctuation, grammar, neatness, and spelling count. This must be a professional looking paper at the graduate level to receive full credit. Paper should have an introduction, body, conclusion, and reference section; paper should also have appropriate headings and sub-headings in the body of the paper as noted in the course paper requirements. Be sure to use the required school title page with author certification statement. A Table of Contents must be included which lists each heading as well as the beginning page number for that section. Write transition sentences between sections so that the reader knows where student(s) are proceeding and why. Transition sentences also help to integrate a paper and enhance its “flow.”

Note that this is a research and analytical paper. Analyses based on the law, ethics, and social responsibility, and reasoning to conclusions based on legal, ethical, and social responsibility principles, are required, and are expected, at the graduate level. The paper must be substantive, principled-based, logical, and well reasoned at the graduate level. For individual or group papers, avoid all personal pronouns, such as “I” and “We”; rather use “The authors.” Avoid any personal opinions except in the overall Conclusion to the paper.

/in /by

Netflix is the largest subscription service for sending DVD’s by mail and streaming movies and TV episodes over the internet. Netflix’s revenues grew from $500 million in 2004 to $519.8 million in 2010. Company’s net income increased from $21.6 million in 2004 to $141-156 million in 2010. It attracted 1.6 million subscribers in 2004 and had to 15 million subscribers by 2010. Reed Hastings founder and CEO of Netflix have pushed the company to outcompete its movie rental competitors by building the world’s best internet movie service. Netflix is the world largest online entertainment subscription service and revolutionized the way that people rent movies.

Netflix has outcompete its rivals on the basis of differentiation features, with their higher quality, wider product selection, added performance and services, and has superior technology. Netflix has a large selection of DVDs to choose from. It maintains relationships with entertainment providers to expand the title selection. Movies are prescreened for customers based on peer reviews. This allows Netflix to increase their inventory with movies chosen by viewers. There are no late fees. Netflix technology is superior because movies and TV episodes can be streamed directly onto nearly any device in a matter of seconds.

Netflix business model and strategy can be analyzed with the 5 competitive forces in the movie rental marketplace: 1-substitute, 2- buyers, 3- suppliers, 4- potential for new entrants, 5- rivalry Substitute-It does not matter who sells the movie or the TV episode at the end the end user is getting the same product whether he got it from Walmart or Blockbuster. Substitute for Netflix and a potential threat is pirating movie files from the internet and illegal. This is a substitute that is inexpensive or free copy of the file.

Buyers- Have the power to select where they are going to get movies or TV episode. They are going to look provides the best price and best quality. Buyers are not loyal and can get this product from other vendors. Competitors compare industry prices and quality. They will reduce cost in order to attract the buyer.

Suppliers-Such are Hollywood are likely to increase cost if the industry profits increase. Suppliers have the capability to make movies and TV episodes harder to get by limiting license agreements. In order for suppliers to maximize their revenues they sell large number of movies and TV episodes the outcome results in competition and does not allow supplier to have much power on the product. Potential for new entrants- Blockbuster, and Netflix are the dominant retailers in the market it is very difficult for new entrants to succeed.

Rivalry- Consumers have multiple sellers they can buy or rent movies and/or TV episodes. Main competitors are online subscription services internet movies and TV episode provider, kiosk services, and DVD rental outlets.

From SWOT analysis we found the

Strengths as followed, by operation on line is very flexible and very low cost, it has high customer satisfaction levels, and strong knowledge base and brand identity. Weakness are the industry, it is constantly changing at a fast speed, it is supplier dependent, postage is a variable cost (increases), customers need to have internet access and or DVD players. Opportunities are: It can expand globally to international markets because its internet access, new technology.

Threats: If it’s not able to adapt or keep up with technology, rivals such as Walmart.com or Blockbuster have capital to compete against Netflix.
There are some issues Netflix is facing

Netflix needs to watch out for growing competitors with deep pockets and need to keep up with the fast growing changes with technology. It is recommended that Netflix increases its customer base (subscribers). This income will offset the ongoing costs. Netflix should move away from DVD rental, it creates a large percentage of its operating cost. Netflix should find out why people are still ordering DVD’s Netflix should educate customers with their streaming and downloading and focus on encouraging customers to stay with the service.

Blockbuster advantage over Netflix is that they are able to release new released titles. Netflix needs to negotiate with entertainment providers to get new releases earlier than the competitors. Finally it is suggested that if Netflix is able to get new releases earlier they should pass a cost for the newest release (separately from subscription download monthly fee).
