Assignment 2: Discussion—Differences between Value and Returns

Evaluating the benefit an opportunity can provide is complex. When measuring an economic benefit, you must look at the real return, the nominal return, and the overall value. In many cases, a project might generate a negative return in the short term but may be of value in the long term. You may take on a project for its business, knowing that the project is a losing proposition but will compensate for this loss by bringing in a new project later that will generate a positive return, or future value. This assignment will illustrate this concept. Firms need to distinguish between value creation and the returns they obtain from their investments.

Tasks:

Locate an article from the Internet or the online library resources that deals with firms distinguishing between value creation and the returns they obtain from their investments. You can consult sources such as the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Bloomberg Markets, the Economist, US News and World Report, and other publications for conducting this research.

On the basis of the selected article, address the following questions:

What are some of the strategies that firms engage in to create value?
What is the difference between adding value in the value chain and creating returns for shareholders?
Why does adding value to the firm and creating returns for shareholders in the short run and long run matter?

Submission Details:

By Friday, August 28, 2015, in a minimum of 500 words, post your responses to this Discussion Area. Cite the sources used to formulate your opinion.
Through Wednesday, September 2, 2015, respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts. While responding, think about the activities performed by a firm that would generate value and how this value can be used to generate returns for the firm.

Write your initial response in 300–500 words. Your response should be thorough and address all components of the discussion question in detail, include citations of all sources, where needed, according to the APA Style, and demonstrate accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation

Do the following when responding to your peers:

Read your peers’ answers.
Provide substantive comments by
contributing new, relevant information from course readings, Web sites, or other sources;
building on the remarks or questions of others; or
sharing practical examples of key concepts from your professional or personal experiences

displays accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Assignment 1: Fundamentals of Effective Communication in the Workplace

Due Week 5 and worth 80 points

Effective communication skills are essential in the workplace. Some businesses invest in training their employees on how to effectively communicate, because effective communication skills go beyond conversations. Employees must know how to express business issues effectively when writing reports and emails. Understanding the benefits of effective communication helps businesses to develop a workforce that is able to communicate effectively with coworkers, customers, and suppliers and increase productivity.

Write a one to two (1-2) page paper in which you:

Describe a time when you experienced effective communication in a business environment.
Discuss at least three (3) reasons why you perceived the communication to be effective, and explain the resulting impact to the business.

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; citations and 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 assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

Explain the elements that foster effective communication in business.
Use technology and information resources to research issues in business.
Write clearly and concisely about business issues using proper writing mechanics.

Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the rubric found here.

As we learn in the video, Crimes of the Powerful, our justice system tends to focus on street crime, often ignoring much more significant problems such as white-collar, corporate, and state crime.

Write a paper discussing the myths and realities of crime. Please elaborate on the following points in your essay:

Imagine asking 100 strangers to describe a criminal. Predict whether those descriptions would be likely to focus on street criminals, or the variety of topics covered in this video.
Describe how society defines crime. Do not provide a definition – instead, explain how the definition is reached.
Discuss how society decides what to define as a crime.
Present a clear statement about a particular crime, something we know to be absolutely true. Illustrate how we know that this is an accurate statement.
Present an example of a widely held myth or misconception about crime and society. Determine how we know that this is a myth. Explain why this myth is so difficult to abandon.

The paper must be three to four pages in length and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least two scholarly resources

Select a type of descriptive study, such as case studies, surveys, observational studies, and correlation studies, and describe a specific area of investigation in behavioral health that would be appropriate for application of this type of study.

Title: Unit 3 – Individual Project

Deliverable Length: 7-10 slides with in-depth speaker notes in MS PowerPoint

Description:

Please note: this is not the continuation of the same hypothesis used in your Units 1 and 2 IP assignments.

Part I

This assignment is framed around the concepts of data analysis and biases in Chapter 11 (Step 7) of the Sekaran & Bougie (2010) book. Click here to view the Sekaran & Bougie diagram on the research process.

For the first part of this assignment, consider the following case. A marketing firm is evaluating the possibility of using a series of product promotions for the population of Cook County, Illinois. However, these promotions are based upon the US National demographics from the 2010 Census data. There is some concern that if the demographics of Cook County Illinois are significantly different than the US National demographics, the product promotions would not work.

Download the Excel spreadsheet with the 2010 Census data sets for Cook County (Illinois) and the US National demographics from this link. Analyze and compare both data sets using the data analysis and biases concepts from Chapter 11 of Sekaran & Bougie (2010). Compare only those categories that you find are significant to your analysis in demonstrating whether the US demographics based promotions can or cannot be effectively used in Cook County, Illinois.

Create a graph that compares the categories from each file that you consider relevant. Create a 3-5 slide presentation with in-depth narratives in the speaker notes section that displays the graph(s) and analysis on how the Cook County demographic categories you chose differ from the national demographics.

Part II

In the second part of the assignment, based on your research findings of the first part, create a 3-5 slide presentation with in-depth narratives in the speaker notes section. You are to provide your advice as to possible business ventures to pursue in Cook County, for either the scenario 1 or 2 listed below.

Based on your analysis and interpretation from Part 1 of the assignment, research the Internet and your course materials for any additional data and resources to help you reach this recommendation. Document any assumptions or elaborations you had to make in the speaker’s notes section of the slides. Apply the standard of APA Style to the references section of your assignment, which should be your very last slide.

Scenario 1:

The marketing firm above has a request from a for-profit university that wants a recommendation on what new specific degree program should be pursued for the Cook County community.

Scenario 2:

The marketing firm above has a request from a development company that wants to know which specific businesses the stores should be leased to a new 5-store strip mall (small businesses) to be established within the Cook County community.

Be sure to include supporting documentation and references using the APA 6th edition. Remember to use the data file format for the formatting of the data sets you are using from the Census Bureau reports. This APA format, although not currently listed in the AIU-APA guide, is used to point to raw data by means of a Web address (use “Retrieved from”) or a general place that houses data sets on the site (use “Available from”). If the data files are from a government Web site, the correct APA format starts with the parent organization, then lists the specific division or department that is housing the data. So, the appropriate format for the IP3 data which is found on page 211 of the APA Manual 6th edition (Rule Number 54) should look like:

Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau (2010). US population demographics [Data file]. Retrieved from the American Fact Finder Web site: http://factfinder2.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/index.xhtml

Of course you are using two data sets, so you should have an APA entry for each data set.

Your work MUST include a reference list. All research should be cited in the body of the speaker notes. Reports without citations may not earn any higher grade than a ‘C’ letter grade. Your report should contain an abstract, a short introduction, and conclusion in addition to the body of the presentation. Please note that if you have a source in your reference section, you need to cite it in the body of the paper per APA guidelines and vice-versa.
