Adaptive leaders are follower-centered. The main objective of adaptive leaders is to help employees change and adjust to new circumstances in the organization (Northouse, 2022, p. 286). In the image below, we can see the Model of Adaptive Leadership (Northouse, 2022, p. 288):

Organization XYZ is a call center which helps clients solve issues with their internet connections. The organization opened 10 years ago and has 250 employees working in the facilities as customer service technicians 24 hours a day, seven days a week. After COVID-19, leadership has been rethinking the way that the organization conducts business. Therefore, it has been determined that all 250 employees would work remotely.

Think about what adaptive leadership is, the Model of Adaptive Leadership presented above, and the case, then address the following:

1. Describe what the adaptive leader’s behavioral approach would be in this case.
2. Explain the effectiveness of the adaptive leadership approach and how this leadership approach is similar to or different than your selected leadership style.

Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories (including supporting citations) along with at least two current, scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles. You may find that your discussion of leadership characteristics is easily supported with such current scholarly research, while the information about how your chosen leader exhibits those leadership characteristics is supported by popular research.

Keep in mind that current scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search. Current research means published in the last five years.

In this class, we will use a scaffold learning approach.  What that means is some of the assignments are designed to help you build sections of your final project as you go along.  This way, you get feedback on the sections through these assignments and can address that feedback in your final project to make your final project stronger.  This will also allow you to identify any issues or roadblocks early and ask for help as you need it instead of waiting till the end where you may run out of time.

Click on the Final Project assignment and review all the guidelines. 

For this assignment, write and submit the Cash Flow Statement Analysis section of the final project.  Do not include any sections of the final project that you wrote for previous assignments.  Only include the section asked for in this assignment.

• Your assignment must follow all the formatting guidelines laid out in the final project (such as including APA formatted title page, references and in-text citations).
• Cash Flow Analysis: In this section, answer the following for the trend analysis: What are the total cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities as well as the change in cash and cash equivalents for each year? How have these numbers changed over the three years, and what could be some reasons why these numbers have changed the way they have? In addition, pick at least one appropriate (for this statement) ratio or financial in addition to what is provided and calculate that and explain it.  (Refer to the ratios your previously calculated.)

I’m working on a business discussion question and need support to help me learn.

For nearly every profession, there are sets of tools that are used to perform specific functions and accomplish certain tasks. Landscapers use shovels, rakes, and wheelbarrows to renovate the laws and gardens outside of someone’s home. Recording studios use microphones, guitars, and audio software to create an album. Similarly, businesses can use analytical tools (such as SWOT analysis and environmental analysis) to achieve their goals. It is important to understand how the tools work and which ones would be best for different circumstances in order to achieve the best outcomes.

In this Discussion, you will examine various analytical tools and how they are applied in a business.

To prepare for this Discussion:

Review this week’s Learning Resources on evaluating a company.

Consider the differences between SWOTT and SWOT analysis, as well as the other aspects of a company’s environment that would be important to assess.

Review the Academic Writing Expectations: Capstone Courses document, provided in this week’s Learning Resources.

• Post a 225- to 300-word (3- to 4-paragraph) analysis of how an organization can use analytical tools to create value and develop a strategy to achieve and maintain competitive advantage. In your analysis, address the following:
• What might the advantages be for a business of using SWOTT over SWOT analysis?
• Are there any other aspects of the environmental analysis that would be important to consider that are not covered by SWOTT?

How can analytical tools be used to create value for an organization?

Why is it important to do such an in-depth environmental analysis before creating a strategy?

YOU BE THE JUDGEWRITING PROBLEM John and Susan Verba sold a Vermont lakeshore lot to Shane and Deborah Rancourt for $115,000. The Ran-courts intended to build a house on the property, but after preparing the land for construction, they learned that a wetland protection law prevented building near the lake. They sued, seeking rescission of the contract. The trial court concluded that the parties had reached their agreement under a “mutual, but innocent, mis-understanding.” The trial judge gave the Verbas a choice: they could rescind the contract and refund the purchase price, or they could give the Rancourts $55,000, the difference between the sales price and the actual market value of the land. The Rancourts appealed. Were the Rancourts entitled to rescission of the contract? Argument for the Rancourts: When the parties have made a mutual mistake about an important factual issue, either party is entitled to rescind the contract. The land is of no use to us and we want our money back. Argument for the Verbas: Both sides were acting in good faith and both sides made an honest mistake. We are willing to acknowledge that the land is worth somewhat less than we all thought, and we are willing to refund $55,000. The buyers shouldn’t complain—they are getting the property at about half the original price, and the error was as much their fault as ours.

Only one page. explain the issue, analyze it and be the judge.

VISIT SEC.GOV AND SEARCH FOR THE NAME OF YOUR DESIRED COMPANY SELECTION. TO FIND THE MOST RECENT 10-K DOCUMENT, SELECT “COMPANY FILINGS” ON THE SEC.GOV WEBSITE, AND TYPE THE NAME OR TICKER SYMBOL OF THE COMPANY. NEXT, SELECT “10-K (ANNUAL REPORTS)” AND USE THE MOST RECENT 10-K REPORT.

Overview

1. Using the SEC 10-K for your company, answer the following questions.
2. Do not cut and paste from your company SEC report.
3. Notice line items, if they appear, for Right of Use Assets and Lease Liabilities as well as other changes in Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) and Liabilities. Long Term Debt often funds the purchase of new fixed assets.

Discussion Requirements

1. Reading the notes to the financial statements, as well as the balance sheet, post information about the Accounts Receivable for your company. Who owes the company money? It is possible that your selected company does not report accounts receivable as a separate line item because the company does not generally sell on credit terms.
2. Search for the phrase “Bad Debts” or Allowance (for collectible accounts). When you read the balance sheet, you may see that the receivables are listed as a net of $X,XXX to show the Allowance for Bad Debts. Comment about the changes in Accounts Receivable and the Allowance for Bad Debts. Are they increasing or decreasing? How does this relate to sales (are sales increasing or decreasing)?
3. Property, Plants, and Equipment / PPE (Capital Assets; Fixed Assets): Comment about PPE and accumulated depreciation. How are these values changing from year to year: PPE, Accumulated Depreciation, and Net PPE?
