You work for a medium sized privately held electronics firm which is considering transitioning to a publicly held organization. Your boss found out that you were taking business courses at Argosy University and has asked you to prepare a presentation for upper level management to explain the process by which a privately held company would transition to publicly held company.  He has asked you to  describe the general accounting processes involved in establishing an initial public offering (IPO), including but not limited to accounting for all assets, liabilities and equities of the firm. Prepare a 15-20 slide professional MS PowerPoint presentation which covers the following:

• Identify and explain the top five reasons private companies go public.
• Explain information the firm is required to provide to the investor with complete transparency.
• Compare and contrast the differences in accounting processes and procedures that medium sized companies such as yours go through when going public.
• Discuss any concerns you believe the company should guard against while transitioning from privately held to publicly held (shareholder apprehension, fair market value, etc.) and provide solutions to each concern.

Use the notes section in MS PowerPoint to explain your talking points. Use at least two charts and two additional graphics which support your points. Utilize at least three references (one of which may be your text) in your presentation.

Prepare a 3 – 4 page double-spaced paper that describes your product or service, your target market, the need(s) this product or service meets, and how it is different from the competition. Support your analysis with three (3) academic sources, which may include your textbook, and/or credible business journals such as Barrons, The Wall Street Journal and/or Business Week. Your analysis should include: • Briefly describe your previously approved product or service for which you will develop a North American marketing strategy during MKTU 301, discussing how you will differentiate your product or service from current or anticipated competitors • Identify and discuss your target market supporting your analysis with data from one or more credible published sources. Be specific in defining the target market. • Describe what consumer or business (B2B) need(s) your product or service meets supporting your analysis with data from one or more credible published sources. • Assess where your product or service fits in the Product Life Cycle supporting your analysis with data from one or more credible published sources.

 

The product that I will develop for North America and the rest of the world is called Snapbac. This company develops and manufactures compression garments, which comes in shirts, shorts, elbow and knee garments. Snapbac is not only a compassion garment but it also inquires heat and cold pods that can be inserted into the garment to increase circulation and fasten the healing process by two times the time of the regular compression garment. Hot and cold temperatures do different things to your body, and should be used at different times. Cold therapy reduces swelling by slowing blood flow and circulation, and is generally best within 24-48 hours of an injury. If you leave the cold compress in place for more than 20 minutes, you could actually irritate your injury, so make sure to take 10-minute breaks in between sessions. In contrast, heat therapy increases blood flow and oxygenation, and relaxes muscles and tendons, thereby improving flexibility

Business Case and Proposal for Project Selection

You work for Centervale Apparel, a large clothing manufacturing firm. Centervale Apparel has budgeted $9.7 million for new technology initiatives in the coming year but the project requests currently in the queue for next year total about $15 million. Your boss, the executive director of operations, has asked you to put together a proposal for this project to replace legacy order fulfillment technologies by implementing a supply chain management (SCM) system. Your boss wants to ensure this project will be prioritized over other projects on the list and will be implemented in the coming year. Use the following data to prepare a proposal using a balanced scorecard approach to demonstrate the project’s value to Centervale Apparel.

Here is your brief:

Business Problem: The order fulfillment team has been using several legacy technology systems to manage inventory and distribution. The current systems do not work together, requiring redundant information input and processing. Because of the redundant processes, work is duplicated requiring multiple data entry points and sometimes results in inaccurate and irreconcilable data. There is a constant overage or shortage of supply due to the time it takes for data to get from one point to another. This causes unhappy customers and inventory carrying costs that could be avoided.

Project Description: Replace legacy order fulfillment technologies by implementing a SCM system.

Project Cost: The project will cost approximately $1.2 million including infrastructure and resources to complete the implementation and $250,000 annually to support and maintain the new system with a ten-year lifecycle for the system.

Project Benefit: It is estimated that the implementation of a supply chain management system will improve the order fulfillment processing time and reduce inventory-carrying costs. Implementing the SCM system will also enable the retirement of several legacy systems. Estimated annual cost savings are:

• Data entry staff reduced from 10 FTE to 8 FTE = $100,000/yr savings
• Reduction in inventory carrying costs = $300,000/yr savings
• Improved order fulfillment = 10–20% decrease in order to delivery time. This will improve customer satisfaction and retention
• Improved data accuracy
• Legacy system maintenance retirement savings = $100,000/yr

Using the information that details the primary business goals for the coming year, you will need to demonstrate how implementing the SCM system will help achieve the business objectives.

Note: Customers are retail companies who order from this clothing manufacturer. Assume a ten-year lifecycle for the SCM system.

Using the module readings and the University online library resources, research methods of developing proposals by applying the balanced scorecard approach. Select two scholarly resources for use in this assignment. You will use these resources to justify your recommendations.

The proposal should include the following:

• Describe the measureable value. This should include a cost-benefit analysis, such as payback period or ROI that relies on tangible measures of organizational value through cost savings, revenue enhancements, or improvements in the speed, quality, or efficiency of key processes that help achieve competitive advantage (note the difference between tangible and intangible measures in this proposal).
• Evaluate and choose alternatives. Make sure to identify any alternatives to the project implementation and provide a justification for each.
• Complete a risk assessment of all risks associated with implementing the project using an enterprise risk management (ERM) model.
• Describe total cost of ownership and include descriptions of implementation project and ongoing maintenance costs.
• Explain the benefits of the project, which include tangible and intangible benefits.
• Fully justify a recommendation with a compelling proposal that aligns to the business goals.
