Review the following scenario:

 

Acting as the CEO of a small company, you will apply the principles of capital budgeting to invest in growth and cash flow improvement opportunities in three phases over 10 simulated years. Each opportunity has a unique financial profile and you must analyze the effects on working capital. Examples of opportunities include taking on new customers, capitalizing on supplier discounts, and reducing inventory.

 

You must understand how the income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows are interconnected and be able to analyze forecasted financial information to consider possible effects of each opportunity on the firm’s financial position. The company operates on thin margins with a constrained cash position and limited available credit. You must optimize use of internal and external credit as you balance the desire for growth with the need for maintaining liquidity.

 

Sign-in to the simulation and review each of the following:

 

  • Welcome Statement
  • How to Play
  • Terminology Primer
  • More Details (this includes information to help you understand how to play the simulation)

 

Write a paper of no more than 1,400 words that analyzes your decisions during each phase (1-3) and how they influenced each of the following final outcomes (metrics) of SNC:

 

  • Sales
  • EBIT
  • Net Income
  • Free Cash Flow
  • Total Firm Value

 

Address the following in your paper:

 

  • A summary of your decisions and why you made them
  • How they affected SNC’s working capital
  • What general effects are associated with limited access to financing

 

Include scholarly references (in addition to your course textbook and simulation materials) to support your positions.

 

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

Managers have observed that employees are of three types: committed, compliant, or resistant. Most organizational leaders prefer committed employees because they exhibit motivation and willingness to sacrifice for the organization. A perceived lack of justice in a myriad of areas very often prevents employees from committing themselves fully to the organization and its mission. The perceived lack of justice could include issues such as pay raises, promotions, choice of assignments, and location of work.

In this discussion assignment, you will reflect on what you have learned about employee motivation. You will share your thoughts on how outcomes can be improved by ensuring justice for all parties. Reflect on your own organizational experiences or research on employee motivation, and using two examples, respond to the following:

Explain why outcomes perceived as unfair can decrease employee motivation.
Discuss how procedural justice could have helped mitigate the negative effects.
Include an example for each to support your response.

Answer this question in regards to this videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I47Y6VHc3Ms
Review Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream speech (text,http://www.archives.gov/press/exhibits/dream-speech.pdf, and/or YouTube). King delivered his speech in 1963, more than fifty years ago. In a well-developed paragraph, argue that the speech still is— or is not— relevant. Or write a well-developed paragraph in which you state what you take to be the “ American dream,” and argue that it now is or is not readily available to African Americans or other groups.
