Shareholder Value or Financial Perspective, business and finance homework help

/in /by

The class I am in is Integrated Business Topics. The assignment is below…the new product I am introducing is a lounge for the department store JCPenney. I have found a link to a survey that was conducted regarding women shoppers versus men shoppers to help me write this paper. I have attached 3 documents that will hopefully help to assist on this paper.

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word strategic objectives summary. Include your balanced scorecard and its impact on all stakeholders, and the communication plan.

Identify key trends, assumptions, and risks in the context of your final business model.

Develop the strategic objectives for your new division of the existing business in a balanced scorecard format in the context of key trends, assumptions, and risks. The strategic objectives are measures of attaining your vision and mission. As you develop them, consider the vision, mission, and values for your business and the outcomes of your SWOT analysis and supply chain analysis.

Consider the following four quadrants of the balanced scorecard when developing your strategic objectives:

  • Shareholder Value or Financial Perspective, which includes strategic objectives in areas such as:
    • Market share
    • Revenues and costs
    • Profitability
    • Competitive position
  • Customer Value Perspective, which includes strategic objectives in areas such as:
    • Customer retention or turnover
    • Customer satisfaction
    • Customer value
  • Process or Internal Operations Perspective, which includes strategic objectives in areas such as:
    • Measure of process performance
    • Productivity or productivity improvement
    • Operations metrics
    • Impact of change on the organization
  • Learning and Growth (Employee) Perspective, which includes strategic objectives in areas such as:
    • Employee satisfaction
    • Employee turnover or retention
    • Level of organizational capability
    • Nature of organizational culture or climate
    • Technological innovation

Evaluate potential alternatives to the issues and/or opportunities identified in the SWOT Analysis paper and table you completed in Week 3.

Create at least three strategic objectives for each of the four balanced scorecard areas.  Baseyour solutions on a ranking of alternative solutions that includes the following:

  • Identify potential risks and mitigation plans
  • Analyze a stakeholder and include mitigation and contingency strategies.
  • Incorporate ethical implications

Develop a metric and target for each strategic objective using a balanced scorecard format.

  • Example: a strategic objective in the shareholder or financial perspective is to increase market share. A metric to actually measure this strategic objective of market share increase is, “The percentage of increase in market share.” The target is the specific number to be achieved in a particular time period. The target for the metric of “Increase market share” could be “Increase market share by 2% for each of the next 3 years” of an increase of 2% per year for 3 years.)

Outline a brief communication plan discussing how you will communicate the company’s strategic objectives that includes the following:

  • Define the purpose.
  • Define the audience.
  • Identify the channel(s) of communication and why you selected that channel.

Format paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Assignment 3: Evaluating Leadership Behavior 

Assignment 3: Evaluating Leadership Behavior 

Many definitions of leadership derive from the leadership models outlined in the text. Consider these models when you develop your biographic article.

Create a fictional profile of a CEO and write a biographic article focusing on his or her leadership qualities. Do the following in the biography:

  • Include instances, wherever relevant, that demonstrate the CEO’s qualities and his or her influence on organizational morale and building interpersonal relationships. 
  • Analyze the personal and environmental factors that might have contributed to the characteristic leadership style of the CEO. 
  • Indicate whether the CEO is an inspiring leader. Explain the reasons for your opinion.
  • Finally:
    • If the CEO is uninspiring, recommend how he/she can improve, in order to change the perception of his/her followers. 
    • If the CEO is an inspiring leader, identify potential psychologically based, human relation issues that he/she should be ready to face while leading the organization.

PLEASE USE THESE MODELS BELOW

Maslows Hierarchy of Needs

Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy
of needs is often shown as a pyramid that is comprised of five levels. The four
lower levels are grouped together as deficiency needs—they
represent physiological needs. The topmost level is called growth needs—it
represents psychological needs.

The need hierarchy theory
states that the higher needs only come into focus once all the needs that are
lower down in the pyramid are mainly or entirely satisfied.

1  Self-actualization Needs 

2  Self-actualization needs include purpose, personal growth, and
achievement. People at this level make their own decisions, act on their own
volition, and have a distinct personality of their own.

3  Ego Needs

4  Ego needs mean having a healthy pride in one’s self. The need
for self-respect and respect for others show up at this level.

5  Social Needs

6  Social needs include the love of family and friends and the need
to feel a sense of belonging.

7  Security Needs

8  Security needs include safe living conditions. Children value
this level more because they have the greater need for safety and security.

9  Physiological Needs

10 
Physiological needs
include the basic need for air, warmth, food, sleep, stimulation, and activity.
Lack of biological needs and equilibrium

Proposal Letter

/in /by

Writing Assignment: Research Proposal Letter
For this assignment, you will write your research proposal letter. You are required to submit
only your final draft for this assignment (though we encourage all students to take advantage of
the additional feedback a draft can provide). Use the grader’s feedback and the rubric to make
revisions to your draft before submitting the final. Your second draft will be graded.
This research proposal letter will be directed to an audience who can create change
(Congressperson, business administrators, or other similar audience.) In the proposal, you
need to suggest a change or a solution to a current problem. As you have already chosen a
topic for your research proposal letter in Topic 6 and conducted an interview that will
become one of your sources for this letter, you do not need to choose a topic. You must use
the same topic that you began researching in Topic 6, and you must use your interview as a
source.
Your research proposal should be presented in a letter format including the following
information:
• Your mailing address (Note: For privacy reasons, you may opt to not disclose your
mailing address when you submit your letter to our graders for review; however,
should you choose to mail your letter to your chosen recipient, you will need to
include your mailing address, as this is a customary business letter practice.) Note
that a formal letter does not require your name in the header. Your name will go at
the end, with your closing.
• The date you wrote the letter
• A name and mailing address for the individual to whom you are writing the letter
• A greeting or salutation
• A closing and your typed name (Note: A written signature is optional for your
submission, but should you choose to send your letter, you would need to include
your written signature between the closing and your typed name.)
Scroll to the end of these instructions for an idea of how you should format this
assignment.
To organize this information, follow the format included in the course site in the
“Assignments” area.
For your proposal, follow this organizational framework:
For your researched proposal, follow this organizational framework:
• Introduction: The Problem
Identify the problem, including researched information to explain it fully. You may
devote more than one paragraph to describe the problem if needed. To determine
the extent of the information you must provide about the problem, consider the
letter recipient’s understanding of the problem.
• Body: Your Proposal
Explain the specifics of your proposal. What are your solutions to solve this problem,
step by step? What is the cost? How is this cost incurred? What ideas do you have for
funding your proposal?
Justify your proposal. How will your proposal solve the problem? Why is this proposal
feasible?
Concede or refute the counterarguments: Will the letter recipient have certain
preconceived ideas about the subject? How can you address these counterarguments
without diminishing your argument? Note: You will lose points from the rubric if you
do not address the counterargument.
• Conclusion: Your Argument
Take into consideration your chosen audience and his/her interests. Use persuasive
techniques to align your proposal to the audience’s ideals. You may use more than
one concluding paragraph if needed.
See the end of this document for more specific information about formatting your letter
appropriately.
You are required to use source information, including ideas you learned from the interview
process wherever it will prove your point. In addition to the interview itself, you should have
at least two other credible sources, for a total of at least three sources. Note: If you do not
meet the source minimum, the rubric will automatically be scored down.
Since this is a letter, you will use signal phrases (i.e., “As Fugle describes…”) and omit
parenthetical citations (“Fugle”). You must include a Works Cited page for this assignment.
Good, informative signal phrases will be important in order to make sure your sources are
credited (example: “Fugle, a well-known environmental researcher, explains the problem
by…”).
As with all college writing, you must include a strong thesis statement and take care to avoid
logical fallacies while following the other standards for academic writing.
You might use this as a guideline in crafting your thesis:
Valley City should (add solution suggestion), which (add how it can be funded) and (add justification),
although (add counterargument focus).
Here is a more specific example:
Valley City should (use its largest abandoned warehouse for a new recreational center to hold before
and after-school programs), which (can be conveniently funded by the tax stream that was being
used to construct Main Street until this point), and will (provide the final element—housing—in order
for local schools to also implement a before-school program(, and although (some community
members do not believe before- and after-school programs are necessary(, they should (review the
high number of students apprehended by law enforcement during the hours before and after-school
programs would operate).
The guidelines for this assignment are as follows:
Length: This assignment should be at least 500 words.
Format:
• This assignment has a special format (letter style), so you will not use a typical header
• Single-spacing, with a double-space between paragraphs (see below)
• Standard 12 point font (Arial, TimesNewRoman, Calibri)
• 1” margins on all sides
• Save the file using one of the following extensions: .docx, .doc, .rtf, or .txt
Since this is a formal letter format, you will not underline your thesis statement.

The items for sale in many retail stores ring up differently at the cash register than the price marked on the shelf. This goes unnoticed by many consumers. But, whether the mistakes are intentional or not, the retailers get checked by government inspectors (for overcharges only) and can potentially be fined for the mistakes if their error rate is high enough. The retailers also run the risk of receiving bad publicity through the press. As an example, in one such inspection: “during Walmart’s second inspection, the price of a ceiling fan was off by $30. The shelf price listed the fan at $19.99, but it rang up as $49.97 at the register.” For more, read: Inspector: One in 10 NC stores ring up wrong prices. (https://www.wral.com/inspector-one-in-10-nc-stores-ring-up-wrong-prices/10413522/)

To avoid the fine and the public embarrassment that follows for being caught, each retailer will self-inspect their records. They use the same process as the government inspectors, random items are selected for cross checking. In a recent self-check, the store manager had her employees take 230 different items which were picked at random for cross check. The employees recorded the shelf price and the price that appeared on the cash register – you can find these results in file “Price-Check”. The government inspector will not fine companies that have an error rate of less than 2%.

  • Based on the data in this last study, what is the estimate of proportion of items that will ring up at higher prices?
  • If an inspector showed up today, will the store manager be 95% confident that the store will pass? Why, or why not?
  • If the manager wants to have a margin error of 0.5% (.005), then how many items need to be crossed checked?
  • The manager doesn’t believe she has the resources to do as many cross checks to ensure a margin of error of 0.5%. She wonders if she will be able to defend her store against fines based on the average amount customers are being wrongly charged (either over or under charged).
  • What is the maximum overcharge for an item in this study? Was there a customer who was undercharged? If yes, how large was the highest undercharge?
  • What is the 95% confidence interval for mean dollar amount of incorrect charges for this data set?
  • If the inspector’s sample results in an error rate of 2.7% of items being overcharged, do you think showing the average error (accounting for both undercharges and overcharges) will help her avoid getting fined?
  • Should she do a larger study to be sure she can pass inspection? The fine for not passing an inspection is about $1000, followed by a repeated inspection (for example : “Walmart on New Hope Church Road in Raleigh, for example, failed three consecutive inspections, ringing up almost $5,000 in fines before finally passing.” Read Inspector: One in 10 NC stores ring up wrong prices). Explain your answer.

Journal Reflection: Creating a Movement, social science homework help

/in /by

Choose a current social movement. You may choose your own or select
one of the following: Occupy Wall Street movement, Black Lives Matter
movement, the environmental movement, or the gender equality movement.

While you might have not heard of the specific organizations involved
in the movements, you have likely heard of issues raised by participants
in these movements. Answer the following questions about the movement
you have selected in one to two sentences each.

  1. Which social movement did you choose, and what interests you about the movement?
  2. How have you learned about this social movement (news articles,
    social media, social commentary, conversation with others, television
    news)?
  3. What is the “big question” or inquiry that the movement is trying to answer?
  4. What do you think has caused the movement to gain or lose momentum?
    How does this movement either directly or indirectly impact your
    day-to-day life? For example, if you are looking at the environmental
    movement, maybe you were directly impacted by a tax break for purchasing
    a new Prius or putting new energy-efficient windows in your home.
