Mary Francis comes into your office later that morning.

“Good news! I think we’ve got strong potential investors!” Mary announces.
“That’s great!” you reply.
“And now, they are asking for financial information” Mary states.
“Ok, I could provide a 50-page analysis for them!” you say.
“That’s exactly what they don’t want. I’m beginning to notice that some of the investors don’t have a strong finance background, and the last thing we want to do is scare them off with too many financial figures” Mary explains. I would like for you to complete a presentation. However, I want you to keep it simple and clear. Using all 3 Financial Statements, please provide an analysis on Apix’s assets, liabilities, cash, and profit. As well, choose 2 additional components on each of the sheets, and provide your initial impression on the company financial situation. Do you think you could handle this?”
“Of course! I’ll get started on this right away.”

Mary also indicates that she would like between 10–15 slides with 150–200 words in the notes page.

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

Readings
Textbook: Chapter 2. The World of Planned Events
* You (as an individual) need to pick two questions from following ‘discussion questions’ and
answer them.
Discussion Questions
1. Explain how form, function and experience can be used to classify events (i.e. typologies) and discuss the problems associated
with each approach.
2. Why are the planned events in the typology used in this chapter referred to as ‘social constructs’?
3. Describe the essential differences between each major type of planned event, including any fundamental differences in
experiences and programmed elements of style associated with them.
4. Why should event studies also be concerned with unplanned events and ‘events at the margin’? Give some examples to
compare planned and unplanned events.
5. Will the differences between event types and functions become less important because of convergence? Discuss factors
leading to convergence

I’m working on a business project and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

For the portfolio project, use the following site — https://finance.yahoo.com/ pick two Mutual funds of the following:

Bond funds – DODIX PHDAX BRHYX OPBYX

Stock funds – AWSHX PRWCX TPLGX ACAAX CMGIX

1. Submit the closing price charts for either YTD, 1-year, or 5-year for your two mutual funds. Input the ticker symbol in “Quote Lookup” and the chart will appear.

2. Write an Executive Summary that describes the price movement.

3. Submit two articles (less than six months old) related to each of your two funds (one article for each fund). You can copy-and-paste the full articles. No original writing required. However, be sure to cite your sources correctly. If you use an article from the Internet, provide a link and a “retrieved on” date. If you take the article from another source, provide the name and date of the publication, and the author.

You are missing all your HYPOTHESES in the third block of your IRC. ???

CONCEPT/THEORY Block:  Wrong punctuation, second notice.

LIT REVIEW:  Where are you cites?  You MUST have citations in that block.

DATA ANALYSIS/DATA COLLECTION:  Only using secondary sources?  No participants of any kind?  From secondary data, you aim to pull qualitative info?  Is that what you are saying here?

Overall, very well organized, but you need to address the comments I’ve provided you today for your IRC.  Leaving out ALL your HYPOTHESES, CITATIONS, and PUNCUTUATION (second notice) tells me you might have rushed through the IRC assignment without really giving it a final read.  I remember mentioning during my lecture to check the block titles and make sure to add in both RQ and H1/H0.  Still, yours are absent.  You cannot have a LIT REV block, enter data, and then provide zero citations especially providing percentages, numbers, etc. The blocks are small I know, but the lesson is to cite there. The homework assignment even tells the student to provide references/citations.

Delta Corporation has been very impressed with the progress it has made with its new product line and the new marketing approach that you recommended and instigated. As a result, it is now considering expanding this approach for its other product lines, providing them with the ability to market and sell all of its products online. However, it has not considered the implications for its IT department in developing this type of plan. As the Social Media Marketing Consultant, you are familiar with integrating business and IT strategic planning. They have called upon you to provide advice. You need to:

Explain what the company needs to consider if it is going to move to a more on-line approach for its sales and marketing activities. In particular, describe the consequences for its IT department and why they need to be involved in the planning phase.

Given the likely increase in costs associated with this move, you need to outline the potential benefits and possible pitfalls of outsourcing the IT maintenance and development.
