Dance origin and description:
Musical Theater was first introduced in Europe, creating a shift away from traditional theater and adding a whole new level to the way productions were created. Over time, it began to make its way into the US, particularly through the popularity of cabarets and burlesque in urban cities such as New York and Chicago. Musical theater then continued on pushing a new movement of song and dance paving the way for innovative theater productions such as Chicago, West Side Story, as well as other headlining shows currently on Broadway.

Assignment Overview

In consideration of lifelong learning, you will design a strategy for continued professional development. Through this assignment, you will research and explore relevant organizations, associations, conferences, and publications that will assist you in remaining current and involved in your intended field. Your strategy should include an assessment of your professional and personal skill sets, and consideration of strategies for continuous improvement and evaluation.

Format

There are two parts to this assignment. In a separate document provide the information outlined in Parts 2 & 3 and upload it to Blackboard on the Assignment page.

Part 1: Skill Assessments

Each year, the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) surveys employers across the country and asks them to rate the top qualities and skills they seek in their new college hires. Review this list and consider which of these skills you might want to develop:

Top Skills/Qualities Employers Look For: ( My major : liberal arts )

1. Ability to work in a team

2. Leadership

3. Communication skills (written)

4. Problem-solving skill

5. Strong work ethic

6. Analytical/quantitative skill

7. Communication skills (verbal)

8. Initiative

9. Technical skills

10. Detail-oriented

Part 2: Field/Discipline Research:

  • Keep in mind the skills you reviewed in Part 1. Using the web, you will search and identify the following:
  • Identify the above resources using a list, bullet points, or table (below is an example of how you might present your research):
  • One regional, one national, and one international professional association related to your field
  • At least one relevant, annual (or periodic) conference/meeting /convention
  • Major publications in the field (trade & scholarly journals). E.g., if you are interested in Marketing these would include Advertising Age, Marketing News, Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, etc.

Part 3: Reflection on a Professional Development Strategy

Based on your research and exploration, answer the following questions:

  • Which professional association do you feel will be most beneficial to join upon entering the field? Why? What opportunities will membership provide (e.g., networking, conferences, publications, divisions, leadership/service roles, continuing education workshops/courses, certification, training programs, etc.)? Might there be an opportunity to develop one of the skills identified in Part 1? How do you plan to take advantage of these opportunities?
  • What is the focus of your selected conference? Who hosts the conference? Where is it held? If it is upcoming, what’s on the program? What talks, workshops, and events would you be most interested in attending? How might your attendance help you develop the skills identified in Part 1? Who are the speakers? Is there a call for papers/participation? What kinds of presentations do they look to include? How would you pay to attend? Are funding opportunities available? **If the conference has passed, look at the previous program, etc. to answer these questions.
  • What kinds of articles/information are included in the major publications you selected? Who is the publisher? Who are the authors? How do you know this is an important publication in your field? Are the articles practical in nature or research-based (or potentially, both!)? Does the Shapiro Library have access to these titles? If so, how will you keep up with these titles after graduation? Why is it important to ‘keep up’ with this kind of information?

track record, accounting homework help

/in /by

Scenario: You are deciding among three investments,
as you do for Case 4. You have heard of an expert who has a highly
reliable “track record” in the correct identification of favorable vs.
unfavorable market conditions. You are now considering whether to
consult this “expert.” Therefore, you need to determine whether it would
be worth paying the expert’s fee to get his prediction. You recognize
that you need to do further analysis to determine the value of the
information that the expert might provide.

In order to simplify
the analysis, you have decided to look at two possible outcomes for each
alternative (instead of three). You are interested in whether the
market will be Favorable or Unfavorable, so you have collapsed the
Medium and Low outcomes. Here are the three alternatives with their
respective payoffs and probabilities.

Option A:
Real estate development. This is a risky opportunity with the
possibility of a high payoff, but also with no payoff at all. You have
reviewed all of the possible data for the outcomes in the next 10 years
and these are your estimates of the Net Present Value (NPV) of the
payoffs and probabilities:

High/Favorable NPV: $7.5 million, Pr = 0.5

Unfavorable NPV: $2.0 million, Pr = 0.5

The Platform Wars: Simulating the Battle for Video Game Supremacy, management homework help

/in /by

The Module requires that you run a simulation entitled: “The Platform Wars: Simulating the Battle for Video Game Supremacy.” Visit the Forio site, and access the simulation here:

https://forio.com/simulate/mit/video-game/simulati…

Click on “Play as an individual.”

Enter your first name as the “Screen ID,” then click “Login.”

In this web-based simulation, you are a senior manager of a video game hardware platform producer. Each year, you have three decisions to make:

  1. Determine the price of the video game console;
  2. Determine the number of video games that your company will subsidize to enhance the development of new video games (and that can be played on your company’s video game console); be sure to note that the subsidy of each new game costs you $162M each year; and
  3. Determine the royalty percentage you will require game makers to pay you (the higher the royalties, the more revenue you earn on new games, but the less inclined game makers are to develop new games).

At the start of the simulation, your market share is 50%. The price of your video game console is $250.00 (note that your competitor’s market share is 50%, but your competitor’s console price is $370.00 (hint: you are vastly underpriced to begin the simulation).

As the CEO, it is your task to make decisions one year at a time. As you do so, note how key data are changing, and take note of how your pricing, changes made to royalties, and new game subsidies change your profits and your market share. You may need to go through at least one practice run of the simulation in order to become familiar with it.

One way of becoming familiar with the simulation is to change only value, leaving the others constant. This will isolate the impact of one variable, and will give you a sense of how the change in a single variable impacts revenue, market share, etc. (use the Dashboard and the financial statements to determine this). For example, if I leave all variables unchanged in Year 1 (price = $240; Game titles to subsidize = 3, and Royalties = 15%), my market share becomes 69% at the end of Year 1 (and my net profit is $48.0M). In contrast, if I reduce the console price to $230, my market share becomes 71% at the end of Year 1 (and my net profit is $33.6M). Importantly, if I increase my console price to $330, my market share at the end of Year 1 is 58%; however, my net profit is $140.8M!

As the CEO, your task is to find the best combination of changes in the three variables that both increases your market share and earns a maximum net profit. Remember that the changes are relative; there are no right or wrong answers. Your goal is to use the knowledge you have acquired from previous courses (Accounting, Marketing, Finance, etc.), and allow the various statements and the Dashboard to guide you in your analysis, accumulating high market share and revenue. Be sure to take note of how the statements may be used to “control” your strategy! Remember that you need to cover your costs, while simultaneously turning a profit and increasing your market share.

SLP Assignment Expectations

As the CEO, you are asked to run the simulation a minimum of three (3) times, noting the changes made each year, as well as your final results. Then, write a 2- to 3-page memorandum to your Board of Directors, informing them of how changes in the variable (e.g., the price of the console; royalties paid by the game maker; and changes in the number of game titles subsidized) affect total market share, revenue per year, and net profit per year. Be creative, and include some tables and graphs in your written analysis to show your changes and/or results.

Buying an Existing Business discussion

/in /by

Buying an Existing Business
Please respond to the following:

  • From the e-Activity, discuss the best possible method for
    determining the value of the business you selected. Explain your
    rationale.
  • Create a strategy for negotiating the purchase of the business you selected in the e-Activity.

While
checking online I found a business in Augusta for a convenience store
listed for sale in Augusta Ga with the asking price of 165,000. The
listing states it is located at a busy intersection near our military
base here, which means it has potential for being a money maker. To
determine the value on an existing business that would work the best for
me I looked over all three, the balance sheet technique, the earnings
approach, and the market approach, it appears that the balance sheet
would work best for me. The balance sheet technique is the most easiest
to use as it is pretty straight forward using the formula of net worth=
assets-liabilities.

It
appears that the asking price is not as important when purchasing a
company as much as the terms and conditions that go into the contract
are. Having favorable terms helps keep a healthy cash flow. When
negotiating a deal it is important to go in with what you want,
identifying what is important to me the new owner. Listed below are
negotiation tips from our reading:

  • Know what you want to have when you walk away from the table
  • Develop a negotiation strategy
  • Recognize the other party’s needs
  • Be an empathetic listener.
  • Focus on the issue, not on the person
  • Avoid seeing the other side as “the enemy
  • Educate; don’t intimidate
  • Be patient
  • Remember that “no deal” is an option
  • Be flexible and creative

Write a 3 to 4 page essay

/in /by

Purpose

This essay provides you the opportunity to conduct primary and secondary research on a topic that is personally meaningful to you. You will locate, evaluate, incorporate, and cite sources using MLA style as you write the essay.

Required Reading

This assignment requires you to read (and incorporate) the following:

  • Dweck, Carol S. Mindset: The New Psychology of Success. New York: Ballantine, 2008. Print.
  • Original research in the research databases and/or Google Scholar

Background

In her book Mindset, Carol Dweck draws a distinction between a fixed mindset—the belief that traits like intelligence and talent are determined at birth—and a growth mindset—the belief that intelligence and talent can be nurtured through effort. Her thesis is that “mindsets change what people strive for and what they see as success” (12) and that these mindsets can be changed.

Reading Task

Dweck outlines several key areas where one’s mindset can affect one’s success in life. Your task is to choose an area that interests you: education (as a student or as a teacher or coach), sports, parenting (as a parent or as a child), business, or interpersonal relationships. Begin by (re)reading the relevant chapter in Dweck’s book.

(Choose one! Not all! -unless you want to use all)

Ch. 4

Sports

Ch. 5

Business

Ch. 6

Relationships

Ch. 7

Parenting, Teachers, and Coaches

Research Task

An easy first step is to look up (and potentially use) some of the sources she cites in her endnotes. Then conduct additional research to find out how and why mindsets are fixed, whether or not mindsets can be changed, and what effects fixed and growth mindsets have on success in the arena you have chosen.
