Mitigating Transaction, Translation, and Economic Risks” FOR APPLE”

/in /by

For this discussion, you will first examine financial statements for a specific company and then provide a summary of its hedging techniques. This discussion will help prepare you for Milestone Two, due in Module Five.

First, review the annual financial statements (Form 10-K) for the company you have selected for your final project. You can either retrieve the statements from the SEC EDGAR Company Filings or directly from the company’s website (usually listed under “Investor Information”). This task will help prepare you for Milestone Two and will also give your classmates a chance to see which company you are analyzing for your final project.

Next, in your initial post to the discussion, address the following:

  • What company have you selected for your final project and what foreign countries does the company do business in?
  • What are a couple different hedging techniques/derivative contracts the company is currently using to mitigate its foreign transaction, translation, and economic risks?
  • In your own opinion, do you think the company is doing enough to hedge its risk? Explain your reasoning.

In responding to your classmates, share your opinion about the company’s hedging strategy. Offer them suggestions based on what other types of hedging the company might use to fit its product/industry to its risk. This might provide them with some hints for their own Milestone Two submission in Module Five.

Refer to the Discussion Rubric for directions on completing these discussions.

Class Discussion impact of technology on society

• Please read the course materials for week 2 and then participate in this discussion by answering ONE of the following questions. Your response should be a minimum of 250 words. Click on “.
•
• Read “A Brief History of Time Measurement.”
• Read Chapter 4: The Medieval Period – Europe by Hans Peter Broedel
•

2. Choose any of the questions asked by Hans Peter Broedel in the section of “The Medieval Period” chapter, and answer it, tying your response to other areas of The Medieval Period chapter.
3. The concept of the Middle Ages or the medieval period comes from the Renaissance. The Renaissance saw a reaching back to the classical past of Greece and Rome, a rebirth of classical ideals. The Middle Ages were seen as dark and sterile, an age of ignorance and superstition when little to nothing new or of value was produced. Do you agree with this? Why or why not?
4. Discuss the nature of the Medieval university and the ways in which its structure influenced the reception of Aristotelianism in the Latin West.
5. The intellectual history of the later Middle Ages has traditionally been described as decadent, autumnal, waning. Yet recently a few scholars have asserted that the period between 1250-1450 was one of innovation, change, possibility. Which view is more accurate and why? Medievalists tend to dismiss this argument out of hand. Take a fresh look at this argument and consider the extent to which the Middle Ages was an sterile age, merely passing on diluted versions of the heritage of antiquity, and the extent to which it contributed new and vital elements to the European tradition

P & G’s Secret Deodorant: Finding Inspiration in Perspiration, marketing assignment help

/in /by

Hi tutors. please read the case videos and instructions and answer the question below.

P & G’s Secret Deodorant: Finding Inspiration in Perspiration

Secret deodorant was the first deodorant brand marketed exclusively to women in 1956. For some 50 years, the brand held a prominent market position. However, Secret brand management believed the brand was losing its relevance with its target market. The challenge facing the brand’s management team was to modernize the brand by making it relevant to a new generation of consumers.

The video case describes the thought process and program execution behind the “purpose-driven marketing” initiative for P&G’s Secret deodorant. As such, the case provides a contemporary look at how social media can be used in brand building. Moreover, the case permits a discussion about the link between fundamental consumer behavior and brand management concepts.

This case provides a “behind-the-scenes” look at the award-winning social media campaign for Secret deodorant. Equally important, it encourages you to link such concepts as the hierarchy of needs and brand equity to the marketing of Secret. In this way, you should come to appreciate the underlying theory that guided the development of the Secret campaign even though the terminology does not appear in the written case or video.

ICS Part 1: Stimuli

/in /by

In this Instructor Contact Session, you will hear your instructor
talk about painful and reinforcing stimuli. Listen to the lecture and
take notes. Then post a substantive response to the following discussion
question:

You read how “one particular stimulus may be involved in
reinforcement and punishment of different behaviors in the same
situation, depending on whether the stimulus is presented or removed
after the behavior” (Miltenberger, 2016, pp. 115–116). Further, you saw
examples of how a painful stimulus may be involved in both positive
punishment and negative reinforcement, as well as how a reinforcing
stimulus may be involved in both negative punishment and positive
reinforcement.

Share an example from your own life of either one of these two processes.
