Assignment #3

Perform an External Factor Evaluation Matrix on your chosen corporation.The critical thing to remember about this analysis is that you should develop a thorough understanding of the factors chosen.Because of the importance of factor knowledge, you should acquire a minimum of five external sources of information regarding the factors that you choose. Your analysis should include a chart similar to the one attached to this document.

Parameters:

EFE

Choose 6-10 external factors for analysis (total factors will depend on the nature of the industry)

Four pages or less (not including chart)

Chart must begin the assignment and be on one page only

Double spaced

Typed

For each factor write a paragraph or two as necessary discussing the nature of the factor, how it will impact the firm, and its importance to the future strategy of the firm (i.e., tell me why you assigned the rating score that you did).

Due Date: In class and uploaded to Blackboard, Thursday, June 14th (2 weeks)

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS: THE EXTERNAL FACTOR EVALUATION (EFE) MATRIX

An External Factor Evaluation (EFE) Matrix allows strategists to summarize and evaluate economic, social, cultural, demographic, environmental, political, governmental, legal, technological, and competitive information. Illustrated in Table 1, the EFE Matrix can be developed in five steps:

  • List key external factors as identified in the external-audit process. Include a total of from eight to ten factors, including both opportunities and threats affecting the firm and its industry. List the opportunities first and then the threats. Be as specific as possible, using percentages, ratios, and comparative numbers whenever possible.
  • Assign to each factor a weight that ranges from 0.0 (not important) to 1.0 (very important). The weight indicates the relative importance of that factor to being successful in the firm’s industry. Opportunities often receive higher weights than threats, but threats too can receive high weights if they are especially severe or threatening. Appropriate weights can be determined by comparing successful withunsuccessful competitors or by discussing the factor and reaching a group consensus. The sum of all weights assigned to the factors must equal 1.0.
  • Assign a 1-to-4 rating to each key external factor to indicate how effectively the firm’s current strategies respond to the factor, where 4 = the response is superior, 3 = the response is above average, 2 = the response is average, and 1 = the response is poor. Ratings are based on effectiveness of the firm’s strategies. Ratings are, thus, company based, whereas the weights in Step 2 are industry based. It is important to note that both threats and opportunities can receive a 1, 2, 3, or 4.
  • Multiply each factor’s weight by its rating to determine a weighted score.
  • Sum the weighted scores for each variable to determine the total weighted score for the organization.

Regardless of the number of key opportunities and threats included in an EFE

Matrix, the highest possible total weighted score for an organization is 4.0 and the lowest possible total weighted score is 1.0. The average total weighted score is 2.5. A total weighted score of 4.0 indicates that an organization is responding in an outstanding way to existing opportunities and threats in its industry. In other words, the firm’s strategies effectively take advantage of existing opportunities and minimize the potential adverse effect of external threats. A total score of 1.0 indicates that the firm’s strategies are not capitalizing on opportunities or avoiding external threats.

An example of an EFE Matrix is provided in Table 1 for UST, Inc., the manufacturer of Skoal and Copenhagen smokeless tobacco. Note that the Clinton administration was considered to be the most important factor affecting this industry, as indicated by the weight of 0.20. UST was not pursuing strategies that effectively capitalize on this opportunity, as indicated by the rating of 1.01. The total weighted score of 2.10 indicates that UST is below average in its effort to pursue strategies that capitalize on external opportunities and avoid threats. It is important to note here that a thorough understanding of the factors being used in the EFE Matrix is more important than the actual weights and ratings assigned.

Assignment 4: Merger, Acquisition, and International Strategies, business and finance homework help

/in /by

Choose two (2) public corporations in an industry with which you are familiar – one (1) that has acquired another company and operates internationally and one (1) that does not have a history of mergers and acquisitions and operates solely within the U.S. Research each company on its own Website, the public filings on the Securities and Exchange Commission EDGAR database (http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml), in the University’s online databases, and any other sources you can find. The annual report will often provide insights that can help address some of these questions.

Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:

  1. For the corporation that has acquired another company, merged with another company, or been acquired by another company, evaluate the strategy that led to the merger or acquisition to determine whether or not this merger or acquisition was a wise choice. Justify your opinion.
  2. For the corporation that has not been involved in any mergers or acquisitions, identify one (1) company that would be a profitable candidate for the corporation to acquire or merge with and explain why this company would be a profitable target. 
  3. For the corporation that operates internationally, briefly evaluate its international business-level strategy and international corporate-level strategy and make recommendations for improvement. 
  4. For the corporation that does not operate internationally, propose one business-level strategy and one corporate-level strategy that you would suggest the corporation consider. Justify your proposals.
  5. Use at least three (3) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not quality as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required page length.

Essay question

/in /by

From the 1450 through 1750, many empires emerged across the globe. Compare and contrast three types of empire: 1) the empires that grew in southern/western Asia (India, Iran, Turkey) in the 1400s-1500s; 2) those that were established by Europe (Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Britain) in the 1500s and 1600s; and 3) those that came to divide most of the Eurasian landmass (China, Russia) in the 1600s and 1700s.

àCompare and contrast these three types categories of empire, referring to specific themes as you do. Make a general statement at the outset about what the most significant difference and/or similarity between them is – this will be your thesis. Then, you must address three topics as you compare and contrast:

  1. how and if the various empires used religion
  2. what strategies these different empires employed to rule people and stay powerful
  3. how the major empires played roles in and/or transformed the global economy

Not all empires within each of the two categories will have equal treatment in your essay. You may focus on the ones that help you prove your point. Note that as time goes by from 1450 to 1750, you may see different themes and characteristics emerging or receding in the empires you analyze. Finally, pick you examples wisely: rather than only telling us about one empire from each category and just “learn” those, try to select empires for the quality they add to the thesis statement and overall essay.

Personal Narrative, communications assignment help

/in /by

Activity 2: Personal Narrative

This assignment involves outlining, presenting and answering any five questions about your infancy, adolescence and adulthood or a combination of all three. This assignment involves answering any eight questions about your infancy, adolescence and adulthood or a combination of all three.

Build a Narrative

Humans communicate through stories. Whether they are told sitting around a fire, at a water cooler, in pictures, or in words, stories make up an integral part of our lives. While you may not automatically think of your presentation as storytelling, when you stand up in front of an audience for a period of time to share knowledge and expertise, that audience will instinctively listen for stories. Stories help us relate our different experiences and lives to each other. Told well, stories can trigger a deeper connection with an audience that ensures they will remember you and the points you want to make.

The Narrative Arc

Any type of presentation is better if it has some sort of narrative. This doesn’t always mean that you have to tell a story in the traditional sense, although relating personal stories that align to your presentation’s main point can be a compelling way to gain your audience’s interest. But even if you don’t tell a personal story, you need to think carefully about the narrative arc and the beginning, middle, and end of your presentation. Let’s take a look at the narrative arc (Figure).

Figure 4-1

FIGURE The narrative arc

Your presentation needs to have a framework that creates clear markers for where the presentation begins (exposition), how and where the details that are generally in the middle are described (complication), where the turning point or lessons learned occurs, (climax), and where the presentation ends (resolution). This framework will provide it with natural structure, enabling the audience to follow you where you are going and to understand how you got there.

Consider how you will provide the background and description necessary to set the stage for your presentation. Think about the following questions:

  • What level of detail is needed?
  • How will you engage your audience’s interest in the presentation topic?
  • Is there is a complicating factor, a troubling issue, or some other tricky situation that needs resolution?
  • What is the climax that can serve as the presentation’s turning point, where your recommendations and their validity become clear?

Determining the benefit of your recommendations and how they can help successfully resolve a challenge will provide the audience with a satisfactory sense of completion that allows for a straightforward ending to your presentation.

Pull out the sentence you wrote earlier that defines what your presentation is about. This will help you create a clear narrative arc that stays on point and is connected to your topic. It will provide a strong common thread throughout your whole presentation that will ensure that all of your details, side points, or related stories back up that most important goal that you have committed to communicating to your audience.

This assignment prepares you to answer or ask questions and organize your thoughts in an outline format on an introductory speech about any aspects of your infancy, adolescence and adulthood or a combination of these.

Accounting Recommendations

/in /by

Assume that you are the CEO of a small publicly traded company.The operating performance of your company has fallen below market expectations, which is reflected in a depressed stock price.At your direction, your CFO provides you with the following recommendations that are designed to increase your company’s return on net operating assets (RNOA) and your operating cash flows, both of which will presumably, result in improved financial performance and an increased stock price.

Directions: Evaluate each of the CFO’s recommendations.In your evaluation, consider whether each recommendation will positively impact the operating performance of your company or whether it is cosmetic in nature.Discuss if the recommendation may cause any negative consequences to the company or any ethical implications.

The response to each suggestion should be 200-300 words in length.References are required.Submit as a word document.All submissions must be made through SafeAssign.

Recommendation 1

The CFO recommends that your company reduce inventories (raw material, work-in-progress, and finished goods) and receivables (through selective credit granting and increased emphasis on collection of past due accounts) to improve net cash flow from operating activities.

Recommendation 2

To increase RNOA the CFO recommends that your company sell and lease back its office building.The lease will be structured so as to be classified as an operating lease under GAAP.

Recommendation 3

To increase net cash flows from operating activities the CFO recommends that your company lengthen the time taken to pay accounts payable.

Recommendation 4

Because your company’s operating performance is already depressed, the CFO recommends that you take a “big bath”; write off all assets deemed to be impaired and accrue excessive liabilities for future contingencies.The higher current period expense will result in higher future period income as the assets written off will not be depreciated and your company will have a liability account available to absorb future cash payments rather than recording them as expenses.

Recommendation 5

The CFO recommends that your company increase its estimate of expected return on pension investments.This will reduce pension expense and increase operating profit which will result in a higher RNOA.

Recommendation 6

The CFO recommends that your company share ownership of its outbound logistics (trucking division) with another company in a joint venture.This would have the effect of increasing throughput, thus spreading overhead over a larger volume base, and would remove the assets from your company’s balance sheet since the joint venture would be accounted for as an equity method investment.

Joe Judge asks you to research applicable law and to write an essay discussing

/in /by

You are working as a federal law clerk in the federal court in Phoenix, Arizona. The case of Stewart v. Arizona has recently come on the docket. Stewart is currently sitting in prison in Arizona. He came to be there through the following facts:

In early 2014, a rash of seemingly related murders ravaged the area of Flagstaff, Arizona. Police soon announced that they were on the hunt for a serial killer. On March 14, 2014, Stewart retained the services of Careful and Cautious, LLP, a law firm in Flagstaff to help with his legal troubles. During the initial consultation, Stewart told James Careful the following:

Well, Mr. Careful, the truth is that I’m behind the six recent murders in the area. I’m really a good guy and I hate to kill people. But sometimes, I just can’t help myself. I don’t want to continue killing people but these voices in my head… they’re just so logical and irresistible.

James Careful promptly called the local police and reported his conversation with Stewart. Stewart was arrested for capital murder. A later search of his house turned up the murder weapon in two of the cases and files on Stewart’s computer that contained information on two more victims. Stewart was put on trial in the fall of 2014. At trial, Stewart was represented by a public defense attorney, and James Careful testified against him. Careful related the entire March 14 conversation to the jury. After a three week trial, Stewart was found guilty of six counts of capital murder and was sentenced to death. He summarily appealed his sentence. Two months ago, the Arizona Supreme Court denied his appeal.

Stewart, through his new appointed attorneys (paid for by a non-profit anti-death penalty organization), has filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the federal district court for the District of Arizona. Among other arguments, Stewart claims that his rights were violated by Arizona because information and testimony was used against him that related to his confidential discussions with his then attorney, James Careful. The state claims that the use of the confidential communication with his attorney was proper in this case.

Joe Judge asks you to research applicable law and to write an essay discussing whether the use of Careful’s information and testimony regarding his conversation with Stewart violated Stewart’s rights. Mr. Judge tells you that since you’re in the 9th Circuit court of appeals’ jurisdiction, cases from the 9thCircuit would be best. However, cases from other circuits are better than nothing and can be used in a pinch.

Please prepare the requested essay.
