: · Use technology and information resources to research issues in advanced financial management.

· Write clearly and concisely about advanced financial management using proper writing mechanics. Introduction:

· At the risk of repeating ourselves, let’s let Mr. Charlie Munger, co-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, say his piece on the power of financial incentives once more: “Never, ever think about something else when you should be thinking about the power of incentives.” Of course, we agree, and we want you to learn how to evaluate financial incentives that you’ll discover in the corporate world. We also want you to be able to assess relatively strong and weak corporate governance systems. That’s the crux of this assignment.

· First, what we’d like you to do is to identify a public company (preferably one that you’re familiar with from prior assignments). Then, we’d like you to examine and analyze its governance principles, structures, and practices.

· We firmly believe that the effective financial decision-maker will understand the power that governance and strong systems have over financial performance, and thus it’s important to train ourselves to be acutely aware of these issues. Here’s how we recommend approaching the assignment: o Head to edgar.sec.gov to access your company’s financial statements (or any site where you feel comfortable accessing your company’s financial statements, including the company’s own homepage). o Pull up the proxy statement (it’s also called the 14A, the DEF14A, and occasionally the PRE14A). o Read the statement in its entirety and reflect.

Write a 3-4 page paper in which you do the following: 1. Determine whether the board seems appropriately constituted. Are these people qualified to be governing a business of this type? (Read their bios and even Google them for more info.) 2. Assess the committees the board members sit on. Are they appropriately staffed? 3. Assess the management. How long have they been with the company? What is their relative experience? 4. Evaluate the board’s philosophy on executive compensation. 5. Discuss the metrics tied to the CEO’s inventive compensation. Are they sound metrics or not? Determine if compensation is reasonable considering the company’s financial performance. 7. Determine if related-party transactions (sometimes called “transactions with related parties”) exist, and if they do, whether they are reasonable. Your assignment should adhere to these guidelines:

· Write in a logical, well-organized, conventional business style. Use Times New Roman font size 12 or similar, double-space, and leave ample white space per page.

· All references and works must be cited appropriately. Check with your professor for any additional instructions on citations.

· On the first page or in a header, include the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. Title and reference pages are not included in the assignment page length.

· Faculty have discretion to penalize for assignments over or under the assignment guidelines. Check with your individual professor if you feel the assignment requires a much longer or shorter treatment than recommended. Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic/organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following grading criteria. Weight: 16.5%

Assignment 2: LASA 1: Taking Action

In this course, you have been introduced to ethics, social problems, and social policy. This assignment will prompt action from you to help resolve a social issue. You must learn about a problem, find a piece of legislation addressing your concern, and act to help solve the problem.

Using the textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, do the following:

Then, address the following:

Define and describe the social issue in detail using a variety of relevant outside sources.
Explain the social context of the social issue.
Identify and describe ethical concerns related to the social issue.

Then, address the following:

Explain how the piece of current legislation relates to the social problem or issue. Make sure you provide a description of the piece of legislation.

3. Write an Advocacy Letter

In order to help resolve the social issue, you must take action. Identify your elected representative(s) and find their contact and e-mail addresses.

Write an advocacy letter regarding the piece of legislation and your support of or opposition to it.

The purpose of an advocacy letter is to support or oppose the legislation that affects a social issue of concern to you. This letter is a way for representatives to stay in touch with the constituents they represent. The letter consists of a brief introduction identifying and addressing the social issue of concern (through personal experience, if applicable), an identification of the piece of current legislation that addresses your chosen issue, and your request advocating your representative to support or oppose the legislation.

Be sure to address the following in your letter:

Identify the purpose of your letter.

1. Bet Historians are largely divided into three camps when assessing the causes and the responsibility for the Cold War. “Orthodox” historians place the primary blame for the Cold War on the Soviet Union and Communism. “Revisionist” Historians primarily place the blame on the United States in an unrelenting quest for hegemony and markets. “Realist” historians reject issues of blame. Instead, they see the Cold War arising from “great powers acting like great powers.” In short, they argue that United States and the Soviet Union acted on perceived national interests. Which of these three do you think is the most accurate and why? Was the Cold War primarily an ideological or a geopolitical context? Be sure to consider the motivations and actions of both superpowers during the Early Cold War period (1945-1950).
2. Consider the approach taken towards postwar planning during World War II. What issues and concerns motivated Allied policymakers? How did the experience of the First World War and the interwar period influence policymakers as they looked to craft the peace? How successful do you consider their efforts, especially in comparison the efforts following World War I? Support your answer.
3. Consider both the role of intelligence and the home front in the Second World War? What role did both play in the Allied victory and the Axis defeat? Be sure to include specific details from both sides of the war to support your answer.
4. Consider the path of the war from December 7, 1941 though the end of the war. Why did the Allies win the war? Did the Allies win the war or did the Axis lose it? Defend your answer.

Working individually, students will demonstrate additional competency in project, operations, and information systems management by preparing a succinct report that integrates project, operations, and information systems management to meet a managerial challenge at their organization (academic hospital) and significantly improve its performance.

The report will include at least the following topics

• An executive summary
• Description of the managerial challenge
• Application of project management to the challenge
• Application of operations management to the challenge
• Application of information systems management to the challenge
• Assignment of the project team
• Training needed
• Work breakdown including critical path
• A planning budget

The report will be submitted in pdf format except for the budget, which will be in xlsx format, and the work breakdown including critical path, which will be prepared with a project management software such as MS-Project.

Critical thinking, managerial decision making, information literacy, problem-solving, systems thinking, and technology fluency are needed.

 

Additional Instructions:

What is a succinct report?  Could it not be 10 pages or less?  One reads that IBM decision papers are limited to that length, and we all recall the single-sheet Ringo Sho approach to important decisions at Toyota.

Project management always refers to the Triple Constraint and involves a project team, plus a Gantt chart with critical path.

Operations management refers here to the daily processes at your organization; you should show how they will be improved after the project is completed.

Information systems management refers to the support provided by IS and included IT both during the project and also afterwards; you should describe it.

 

Required Format:

Except as provided above, you should again use APA format, double spaced
