Corporations have been scrutinized as to the recording and valuation of taxes they owe. The determination of how much they will pay is a combination income and expenses they report. There are many tax rules and regulations that are part of the IRS Tax code that apply to tax reporting of corporations. Please select a specific IRS tax code rule and present this to the class. In your presentation describe what is being measured, the intent of the rule and how the rule came to be.

Please make this 1-2 paragraphs and make it in APA format.

Please include a reference page and site sources within the paper.

Please read the case FC Bayern München goes social – the value of social media for professional sports clubs (see attachment).

Your task is to take the role of Jan, prepare a social media strategy, and recommend actions for the introduction of social media at FCB.

The key element to keep in mind is the creation of Digital Value. You can seek support on the frameworks we explored in the course so far, individual external research as well as personal experiences and logic to enrich and justify your answers. You may also use the initial results Lars reported to Jan. However, please keep in mind that Lars did not have much time and could only gather some, but not all of the relevant information.

Please answers the following questions thoroughly (making sure you justify and provide examples to support your answers).

1. From the fans’ point of view, how does the use of social media creates value? Does FCB benefit from applying social media? Are there differences between the potential of social media for a sports club compared to other companies? If so, why and how?

2. What would you recommend to the people in charge of FCB’s social media activities? What would be the critical success factors (CSFs) and key performance indicators (KPIs) of a roadmap for social media use at FCB?

3. What would you advise the executive board of FC Bayern Munchen regarding the use of social media? Should they invest in social media? Justify your answer.

4. After completing questions 1, 2 and 3. Investigate what is the current situation of social media presence of FCB today. Analyze FCB’s current use of social media and reflect on your answers of questions 1, 2, and 3. What should be the next steps of FCB in regards to Digital Value Creation?

Case 8.3 in Shaw that was upload below ( read the case and respones)

This should be argumentative essay 1 single pages minimum 500 word.

base on what my professor want, don’t answer the questions at the end of the reading. The questions can spark your ideas – but what he want is for you to take a position on the case study. What do you think would be the moral thing to do? Do you agree or disagree with what the people did and why? That kind of thing.

These responses will be graded on clarity of argumentation (yes, these responses should be argumentative!) as well as your usage of the moral theories we have learned in the course. It ought to go without saying, but I will say it anyway, that the usual cannons of good academic writing apply in the case of CSRs just as they do for every piece of work you submit to a university level course – so, you are expected to spell words correctly, format your assignments in a rational way, and make use of citations where appropriate.

The most important feature of your grade, however, is your use of the assigned theory. Merely mentioning a moral theory is not enough – so, for example, if you think that raising the minimum wage would be the correct course of action for utilitarian reasons, then you ought to proceed to give an argument why utilitarians in particular should agree with you. That is, you should argue not just that raising the minimum wage would be nice, or make people feel good, but that it would have the best consequences (this line of thinking will make sense when we cover what Utilitarianism is). Moreover you should be specific about what those consequences would be, and why they support your conclusion.

Strategy-1.ppt

Baldwin Drug Stores, Inc. is a
retail pharmacy and sundries chain. To succeed in its highly competitive
industry, Baldwin’s executives realize that they need to establish a strategy
that clearly guides day-to-day performance. Its biggest competitors are
discount drug outlets and superstores. They believe their key customer segments
are the elderly, disabled, and affluent family markets.

In the Session Notes and in Closing Comments,  use the first eleven
questions in Slide 19 to develop a strategy for Baldwin and questions 12
through 14 in Slide 19 for an implementation planning strategy. Please provide
comprehensive answers to the questions in order to support your strategy and
implementation. Make any assumptions you wish, just state them. The objective
of this exercise is to get practice in using the 14 questions for strategic
planning and implementation. Please place a summary of your response to this
exercise as a response to this discussion topic.

In case you can’t read the questions from
Slide 19, they are as follows:

1) What values are going to guide our
business?
2) How far down the road are we going to look?
3) What assumptions about the external environment (regulation, the economy,
resource availability, technology, competition, the market) underpin our
strategy?
4) What existing and new products/services will we be offering (and not
offering)?
5) What criteria will we use to evaluate a new product opportunity?
6) What existing and new customer groups will we be serving (and not serving)?
7) What criteria will we use to evaluate a new market opportunity?
8) What factors (price and/or the various dimensions of quality) are meaningful
to our customers?
9) Which of these factors will represent our competitive advantage(s)?
10) In which of our current product-market areas will we be placing the
greatest emphasis (resources and attention)?
11) In what new products or market areas will we be placing the greatest
emphasis?
12) What functional goals, structure, and management will ensure that the
Organization Level of Performance supports the strategy?
13) What customer and administrative system goals, structure, and management
will ensure that the Process Level of Performance supports the strategy?
14) What position/people goals, structure, and management will ensure that the
Job/Performer Level of Performance supports the strategy? 

For strategy implementation, the Three Levels
framework offers variables which must be addressed to ensure that the strategic
vision becomes an organizational reality. A management team that cascades its
strategy through the Organization, Process, and Job/Performer Levels,
dramatically increases the odds of that strategy being implemented
successfully. At each level, the strategy is implemented through Goals, Design,
and Management.

In
summary, the Three Levels framework makes two contributions to organization
strategy. To strategy formulation, it offers the systems framework, which
ensures that an organization’s direction is based on an analysis of all the
strategic variables. The systems components suggest eleven questions(Slide 19)
that an effective strategy should answer. To
strategy implementation, the Three Levels framework offers the key
Performance Variables which must be addressed to ensure that the strategic
vision becomes organizational reality(Questions 12 to 14 in Slide 19).
