If a real estate investor comes to you for advice on new investment opportunities in Baghdad and Chicago, how would you compare and assess the risks between these two locations? Most people would consider an investment in Baghdad to be riskier than that in Chicago, but how would you quantify that risk in terms of dollars and cents? Whenever investors are presented with two options, they must assess their risks. While the differences between Chicago and Baghdad real estate may be extreme, this type of comparison is representative of the skill of risk assessment. For finance professionals, risk should be given due consideration at every opportunity.

Now let’s consider risk on a different scale. McDonald’s is both a multinational corporation and a collection of franchise owners, and decisions made at the highest levels incur a variety of risks for those invested in individual stores across the country. In this week’s Discussion, you evaluate the level of risk incurred in a decision-making scenario. This scenario involves McDonald’s deciding between offering a new sandwich in all their stores versus opening a brand-new individual store. You evaluate these risks from the perspective of the McDonald’s Corporation and an individual franchise owner who would own the new store.

To prepare for this Discussion, consider the calculation of risks associated with potential opportunities, including how the context of these risks might affect the decisions made. Also, search the Internet for recent news stories about McDonald’s financial health and the company’s relationship with its franchisees.

• Compare and contrast the risks of McDonald’s deciding to offer a new sandwich versus a franchisee opening a brand-new store.
• Explain which decision would incur more risks to the restaurant chain and why.
• Explain which decision would incur more risks to the individual franchisee and why.

Please do a paragraph about this post with this instruction .

you also have to have a high quality post from a content perspective. This means it also needs to do more than agree with or praise a class mate. If you agree with a classmate, explain why, give an example, share what you learned in the readings

the initiation of the ACA in 2010 addressed the shift from taking care of the sick to prevention and health promotion. The ACA was looking for cost-containment by preventing chronic diseases not reacting to chronic diseases. “The first, early disease detection, is addressed in the new law with provisions requiring both private and public insurance plans to cover—with no payments required from patients” (Redwood, 2010, p. 521). “Services include dozens of procedures ranging from blood pressure and lipid level monitoring to tests for colorectal cancer and sexually transmitted diseases. The reasoning is that, if more people are screened and more cases of disease are detected earlier as a result, many people will live longer and with a better quality of life” (Redwood, 2010, p. 521).

“The second, and in the long run the most important, aspect of prevention is lifestyle-based health promotion, primarily in the form of a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management. The goal here is to stop disease before it starts, and, if that fails, to reverse its course or at least minimize the damage” (Redwood, 2010, p. 521).

“We must now move from provider-preferred practices to implementing evidence-based guidelines as part of population health management while also providing patient-centered care. Although many health care providers like to think they are already doing patient-centered care, they must now elicit patient goals, preferences, and values, as well as engage patients in decision-making about their care” (Haas, 2014, p. 14).

“Many wellness and health promotion initiatives can be completely nurse-driven. Wellness programs can be planned and offered on nutrition, cooking, child wellness, exercise, and more, but they must be geared to education levels and times available given patients’ work schedules. Decision support programs should be considered to provide timely reminders of immunizations and routine testing needed so patients can have one-stop visits, where they receive these preventive health services when coming in for a visit with their health care team, no matter what the reason” (Haas, 2014, p. 14)

I WILL PROVIDE MORE TIME FOR THE FIRM ANALYSIS REPORT AND PRESENTATION. NEED INDUSTRY ANALYSIS REPORT FIRST (3000 WORDS). total 6000 words

Specific Guidelines for Industry Analysis and Firm Analysis REPORT (combined word limit of 6000 words)

Both substance (i.e., what you say) and style (i.e., how well you say it) are important. Thus, consider the following guidelines when developing your report:

1. INTRODUCTION

Statement of Purpose – state the purpose of your project and define the industry. Let the reader know in advance the specific issue you will address as well as what issues you will not address and why? A little bit of the history of your firm and what path it has traveled to be where it is today.

2. EXTERNAL ANALYSIS TO IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES & THREATS

See the book for relevant chapters and my note on a good SWOT to be applied to the firm report for industry report focus from Rothaermel book 3rd ed.

Perform an audit of the trends in the industry from the focal Firm’s (firm that you have chosen) perspective. The trends are neutral until you label them positive or negative depending upon your focal firm. Thus, you must be specific to identify both opportunities and threats (this must include an analysis of essential external forces and trends, including the industry and competitors). Makes sure you also look at the general environment discussion (task environment and societal environment: – PESTEL framework). You may use Porter’s five force analysis if it is appropriate for your analysis. Eventually, you must inform what are the critical factors in this industry. What makes this industry either attractive or unattractive? What is the future of this industry? What about competitive analysis or Strategic Group analysis? Remember to use many of the data base sources that are provided in a separate document.

3.STRATEGY ANALYSIS AND CHOICE

Identify and revise the mission statement of the firm, if necessary. Establish Long Term Objectives, generate alternative strategies, Choose courses of action and justify choices. You may use any other analytical tools, discussed in the classroom depending upon your needs for analysis.

4.STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION

The key issue is a fit between external factors and internal factors. This would create answers to the implementation questions such as; what should be done to foster the successful implementation of your recommended strategies? Include a discussion of capital requirements and sources of capital. In addition, you must bring the human capital aspect in your strategy implementation process.

5.EVALUATION & CONTROL

Develop a three (3) year PRO FORMA Income Statement with remarks column that provides assumptions about your strategy, cost of resources and future of the industry.

Rubric will be provided upon acceptance

2-3 paragraphs would be good. Clearly answer the advanced Finance
questions below. The book is Intermediate Finaincial management

The success of capitalism and our economic system is based on risk.
Every business decision involves an element of risk. Consider that risk
is essential to profit, growth, and economic development.

A student’s decision to pursue his or her MBA involves risk. Calculated
risk-taking is germane to living, relationships, and all aspects of
decision-making. The failure to undertake risk is often the decision to
fail.

Please reflect on the notion and concept of risk? How would you
self-describe your personal risk profile? How would you comment on your
risk-taking propensity? Share ideas, opinions, and perspectives.

Please write a paragraph responding to the discussion bellow. Add citations and references in alphabetical order.

Ranking the importance of each of the four principles is not easy. They are all very important and provide an important background for making ethical decisions. I thought it was interesting that the author made a point to let the readers know that although autonomy was the first item listed, it was not the most important.

I agree with the author that autonomy is very important but does not trump all other principles or values. I believe that beneficence is the most important value and therefore I start my list with it. “The common morality requires that we contribute to others’ welfare, perhaps as an embodiment of the Golden Rule” (Lawernce, 2007, p. 1). It is important that in the healthcare setting we include the patient on our decision. Most patients wish to be provided various levels of information, and may wish to select a particular direction for their care because in their view that is the greatest good. Because this may differ from the healthcare provider’s perspective, a tension is created.

Second on my list is Justice as the next important biomedical ethical principle. According to (Lawrence, 2007) justice address the questions of distribution of scarce healthcare resources, respect for people’s rights and respect for morally acceptable laws. Justice represents one of the thorniest issues that a country can face, and in the United States is a source of ongoing concern and political rancor.

Next, I rank nonmaleficence. I strongly believe that we should do no harm to our patients or anyone for that matter. In the healthcare setting we have to always evaluate what the result of our future actions will be before we actually do them. An example of this is when a doctor ordered hypertension medicine on my patient who did not have high blood pressure. I went directly to the doctor and asked why he ordered the medication, and it ended up that he did it on the wrong patient. Had I not investigated the issue, I would have possibly caused harm my patient and to the patient who would not have received the med that was in a hypertensive crisis.

Lastly, I rank Autonomy as an important value but not the most important value of biomedical ethics. The reason I chose to put it last is due to the fact that not all patients are capable of making autonomous decisions. To be autonomous requires a person to have the capacity to deliberate a course of action, and to put that plan into action. This creates a problem when it comes to the delivery of health care, especially when patients are comatose, imcompetent, (whether due to age- i.e., children, or to mental ability).

I believe the Christian biblical narrative would disagree with the order I believe biomedic ethics are ranked in. Florence Nightingage is a good example of a dedicated Christian who seemed most concerned about the ethical implications of religious belief; she created an alternative concept of God that would appeal to most everyone so they would have a basis of morality. Influential nursing leaders at the turn of the century railed against the idea of nursing as a religious calling. Tension between the secular and religious influences in nursing was the common practice of deaconess hospitals’ establishing schools of nurs-ing based on the Nightingale system, so that, until the establishment of bacca-laureate nursing programs, the two philosophies—service and professional-ism—developed side by side (Hillstrom. 1995). With that said, I would suppose that the Christian biblical narrative would rank the biomedical ethics in this order:
