Consider the following hypothetical: Ed contracted with Becky to build a house. Immediately prior to that meeting, Becky was so nervous that she drank an entire bottle of champagne and she does not remember all of the details of the meeting. Shortly before the closing, Ed met with Becky, accused her of fraud and threated to prevent the contract from going to closing. Ed’s associate, a former stunt double for Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson, stood outside the door for two hours to prevent Becky from leaving. Ed gave Becky the choice of signing a new contract promising him more money for the build or going to court. Becky signed the agreement but now has sought legal advice.
Imagine that you are Becky’s attorney. What would you tell her about whether she can rescind the contract? (Big Hint: Capacity to Contract, Duress and Undue Influence)

Your New Business - Business Plan
Your New Business - Business Plan
Like so many others before you, you have decided to set up your own business.
Having investigated various options, you have concluded that your ‘idea’ is viable, it suits you and can be developed to be an interesting enterprise with rewarding financial results. Your project can be as small or as big as you want to. Similarly, your ‘idea’ does not have to be ’unique’. In fact you might consider bringing an established service or product to a new market or develop an existing concept to a new application. It is advisable that you select a business that is not totally fictitious or imaginary. The closest you are to reality, the easier it will be for you to think your project through properly and present it to others. Ideally, you want to present something that you are genuinely considering as an alternative for your future. Who knows? Maybe it will happen one day!
To get your new business started, you need to approach financiers / lenders / investors to help you raise the necessary capital for your purposes. You therefore need to put together a business proposal (else known as a Business Plan (BP)) which will include a comprehensive description of the new business and any other additional material that will convince your audience to back you up. You should be clear in how much funding you need, for how long and how you are going to pay back in a way that will be worthwhile for your supporters. The structure of a good plan has been discussed in class (Please check Topic 4: Business Plan on Moodle). Please take use Topic 4 as template for your report.
It is important that your Business Plan adequately covers what you plan to achieve, in a way that it generates interest and confidence in your arguments. It is worth keeping in mind at all times the golden rule:
you + idea + (money/credit + facilities/people) = Product/service +
marketing = Money/credit = Profit

BMGT 495 - Project 3: Internal Environmental Analysis
BMGT 495 - Project 3: Internal Environmental Analysis
***DO NOT ACCEPT BID IF CANNOT BE DONE BY TONIGHT. NEED ATLEAST 'B' AVERAGE***
Purpose
This project is the third of four projects. Students will perform an internal environmental analysis using the tools and concepts learned in the course to date. You will also draw from previous business courses to understand how organizations develop and manage strategies to establish, safeguard, and sustain their position in a competitive market.
Students also can review an organization's objectives and goals and the key functional areas within the organization. Performing an internal environment analysis helps assess a firm's internal resources and capabilities. It plays a critical role in formulating strategy by identifying a firm's strengths to capitalize on to effectively overcome weaknesses.
Outcomes Met With This Project
Utilize a set of useful analytical skills, tools, and techniques for analyzing a company strategically;
Integrate ideas, concepts, and theories from previously taken functional courses including, accounting, finance, market, business, and human resource management;
Analyze and synthesize strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) to generate, prioritize, and implement alternative strategies to revise a current plan or write a new plan and present a strategic plan.
Instructions
Step 1 Specific Company for All Four Projects
The company that your instructor has assigned to you for Project 1 is the company you will use for this project. The assigned company must be used for this project and in subsequent projects in the course. Students must complete the project using the assigned company. Deviating from the assigned company will result in a zero for the project.
After reading the course material, you will complete the steps below.
Step 2 Course Materials and Research
You must research information about the focal company and the internal environment for this project. You are accountable for using the course materials to support the ideas, reasoning, and conclusions made. Course material's use goes beyond defining terms and explains the 'why and how' of a situation. Using one or two in-text citations from the course materials and then relying on Internet source material will not earn many points on the assignment. A variety of source material is expected, and what is presented must be relevant and applicable to the topic being discussed. Avoid merely making statements but close the loop of the discussion by explaining how something happens or why something happens, which focuses on importance and impact. In closing the loop, you will demonstrate the ability to think clearly and rationally, showing an understanding of the logical connections between the ideas presented from the research, the course material, and the question(s) being asked.
Note: Your report is based on the research results and not on any prepared documentation. What this means is that you will research and draw your own conclusions that are supported by the research and the course material rather than the use of any source material that puts together any of the tools or techniques whether from the Internet, for-pay websites, or any pre-prepared document, video or source material. A zero will be earned for not doing your own analysis.
Success: The analysis is based on research and not opinion. You are not making recommendations, and you will not attempt to position the focal company in a better or worse light than other companies within the industry merely because you are completing an analysis on this particular company. The analysis must be based on factual information. Any conclusions drawn have to be based on factual information rather than leaps of faith. As stated above, you are expected to use the course materials and research on the focal company's global industry and the focal company to ensure success. The opinion does not earn credit, nor does the use of external sources when course materials can be used. It is necessary to provide explanations (the why and how) rather than making statements. Avoid stringing one citation after another, as doing so does not show detailed explanations.
Library Resources
On the main navigation bar in the classroom, select Resources and then select Library. Select Databases by Title (A - Z). Select M from the alphabet list, and then select Mergent Online. Dun and Bradstreet's Hoovers Database, among others, is another excellent source for competitors and industry information. You are not to depend on one resource to complete the analysis. Moreover, it is impossible to complete Porter’s Five Forces, a competitive analysis, or an OT by using only the course material.
You should not be using obscure articles, GlassDoor, or Chron, or similar articles.

Step 3 How to Set Up the Report
The document has to be written in Word or RTF. No other format is acceptable. No pdf files will be graded. Use 12-point font for a double-spaced report. The final product is expected to be 10 - 12 pages. The final project may not be more than 12 pages in length, including all tables and matrices, but excluding the title page and reference page. Do no use an Appendix.
Those items identified in the technical analysis should appear under the appropriate heading in the paper. It is important to format the tables/matrices to fit the report and present the analysis clearly and concisely.
Create a title page with the title, your name, date, the course number, the instructor's name.
Create Topic Headings that correspond to exact sections of the project requirements.
Step 4 Strategic Role of Corporate Strengths/Weaknesses in the Internal Strategy Analysis
There are three levels of strategy: corporate-level strategy, business-level strategy, and functional-level strategy. Corporate-level strategies are related to businesses or markets the focal company successfully can compete within. Corporate-level strategies affect the entire organization and are formulated by top management using middle and lower management input. Decision-making about corporate-level strategies is considered complex, affects the entire company, and relates to an organization’s resource capabilities. Corporate level strategies align with an organization’s mission statement and ideally are designed around goals and objectives.
Perform an analysis on:
Corporate-level strategies.
Create a partial SWOT table, perform an SW analysis, and discuss the strategic inferences/implications. Discuss what strategies would allow the company to capitalize on its major strengths and what strategies would allow the company to improve upon its major weaknesses.
Create an IFE matrix and analysis. Make sure to explain how the matrix was developed and discuss the strategic inferences and implications.
Develop a Grand Strategy Matrix. Explain how the matrix was developed and discuss the strategic inferences/implications at a corporate level and business-unit level.
Step 5 Strategic Role of Internal Resources/Departments/Processes
Perform an analysis on:
Business-level strategies
Evaluate the company's product line, target market.
Identify and explain business-level strategies.
Functional-level strategies
Assess the company's organizational structure, the organizational culture, marketing production, operations, finance and accounting, and R&D that can be accomplished by viewing the company's website, interviews, and surveys.
Explain how these strategies align with the company's vision and mission statements.
Step 6 Strategic Financial Analysis for the Last Reported Fiscal Year
Use the company's income statement and balance sheet to calculate four (4) key financial ratios. One key ratio must come from each of the four key categories: leverage, liquidity, profitability, and efficiency. The four (4) specific ratios selection must come from the following categories.
Leverage Ratios (Long term debt ratio, Total debt ratio, Debt-to-equity ratio, Times interest earned ratio, and Cash coverage ratio)
Liquidity Ratios (Net working capital to total assets ratio, current ratio, quick ratio, and cash ratio)
Efficiency Ratios (Asset turnover ratio, average collection period, inventory turnover ratio, and Days sales outstanding)
Profitability Ratios (Net Profit Margin, Return on Assets, and Return on Equity)
The selection of the ratios has to be relevant to the focal company, so it is important to choose wisely.
Quote industry financial average ratios correlate to the four (4) financial ratios selected for the focal company. Explain the importance of the four (4) averages to compare why averages are important to use. You may find the industry averages by going to the library. If you cannot find it on your own, reach out to the librarian as these resources are readily available.
Note: If copied directly from the Internet, a zero will be assigned. When placing any table or figure in a table, it must be explained in detail.
Conclusion. The one-paragraph conclusion is intended to highlight the key 3-4 key findings, consequences, and recommendations resulting from your analysis.

Prepare using the following guidelines for organization:
Prepare using the following guidelines for organization:
You were recently hired as the new Human Resources manager for a new company that has been in business for two weeks. The CEO is looking to you for your expertise in compensation and benefits to develop a package for all full-time future employees. The CEO is estimating that in the next four months this company will have over 40 full-time employees. The CEO is leaning on you to develop a report for the board meeting in two weeks.
Some things to consider: Though most employers are required to provide mandatory benefits such as Social Security contributions, worker's compensation insurance, and unemployment insurance, most other benefits are voluntary in nature and determined by the employer. Benefits programs should include medical insurance, life and disability insurance, retirement income plan benefits, paid-time-off benefits, and educational assistance programs. Benefits selection and design are critical components in the total compensation costs. In some cases, benefits account for 40 percent or more of total compensation costs. Due to the employer cost investment and the importance of employee benefits in recruiting and retaining, employers should have a well-thought-out benefits plan design that meets both employee needs and employer objectives.
Develop a compensation and benefits package for your company. You must first address the type of company you were hired for (your choice). Second, you must select the city and state in which the small company is located (your choice). In your HR Compensation and Benefits Report to the board, you must address the following:
Identify the Organization's Benefits Objectives and Budget: The organization's business and/or HR strategy will help guide the development of the benefits objectives, as these objectives should help achieve the overall strategic goals. Factors such as employer size, location, industry, and collective bargaining agreements should be considered in the development of the benefits
Conduct a Needs Assessment: This needs assessment will be based on your company’s location and estimated future size. It should be conducted to determine the best benefits selection and design based on the needs and wants of the employees. The needs assessment may include an employer's perception of employee benefits needs, competitor's benefits practices, and tax laws and
Formulate a Benefits Plan Program: Using the data collected from all resources in Step 2, the employer can begin to formulate benefits offerings in order of priority. Can changes be made to the current plan design to induce cost savings? Can benefits that are underused or not valued by employees be eliminated? What are the administrative costs for the benefits? What cost-containment features can be put in place? Will employees have to contribute, and how much? These are among the evaluations an employer will make in determining whether to add, change, or eliminate benefits
Communicate the Benefits Plan to Employees: Employee understanding of the benefits is critical to employee buy-in. Without buy-in, the employer's efforts, no matter how perfectly designed to meet employees' needs, may be futile. The positive impact on recruiting, retention, and employee morale may be lost without effective communication plans. Good benefits communication objectives should include:
Creating awareness and appreciation of the new or existing benefits and improving employee financial
Providing a high level of understanding of the benefits
Encouraging wise use of
Develop a Periodic Evaluation Process to Determine Effectiveness of Benefits: Periodically reviewing the benefits plan program is another important step in the benefits management process. The benefits program must be assessed on a regular basis to determine if it is meeting the organization's objectives and employees' needs. Changes in the business climate, the economy, the regulatory environment, and workforce demographics all create dynamics that affect benefits offerings.

Project 12-2: Assign tickets with time slots
Project 12-2: Assign tickets with time slots
For this project, you’ll develop an application that assigns tickets that include a time slot when a guest can return to visit an attraction without waiting in line, similar to the way the Fast Pass system works at Disneyland.
The design of the Tickets form
Operation
· To issue a ticket, the user clicks the Issue Ticket button. A ticket with the next ticket number in the next available time slot is issued.
· Each time a ticket is issued, it is added to the list box.
· The title bar for this form displays the current time and an indication of whether the current time slot is open or closed. This information is updated once per second.
· The labels in the Ticket Availability section of the form indicate how many tickets are outstanding and the time slot that will be assigned to the next ticket that’s issued. These labels are updated as tickets are issued and the time changes.
· When a time slot begins, any outstanding tickets for that time slot are removed from the list box and the beginning and ending ticket numbers assigned to that slot are displayed in the label inside the group box at the top of the form.
· To change the options for issuing tickets, the user clicks the Options button. Before the Options dialog box is displayed, a dialog box is displayed that warns the user that all outstanding tickets will be deleted and confirms that the user wants to continue.
The design of the Options form
Operation
· The user can enter values into the Options dialog box to specify the number of minutes for each time slot, the number of guests allowed into the attraction during each time slot, the time the attraction opens, the time the attraction closes, and the number for the first ticket. The defaults are five minutes per time slot, five guests per time slot, a start time of the current time, an end time of four hours after the current time, and an initial ticket number of 1.
· When the user clicks the OK button, the Tickets form is displayed.
Specifications
· Use a Timer control to display the current time in the title bar of the main form and to determine the current time slot.
· When the application starts, it should display the Options dialog box from the Load event handler for the Tickets form. For this to work without an exception being thrown, you’ll need to disable the Timer control until the Options dialog box is completed.
· The data the user enters in the Options dialog box should be validated to be sure that the minutes per time slot, guests per time slot, and first ticket number are integers; that the start and end times are DateTime values; and that the difference between the start time and the end time provides for at least two time slots.
· Create a class that represents a time slot for assigning tickets. This class should have public fields that indicate the time the time slot begins, the length of the time slot, and the number of tickets that have been issued for the time slot. This class should also have a property that gets the time the time slot ends. Use this class to create a time slot object for each time slot between the start and end times entered on the Options dialog box, and store these objects in a collection.
· Create a class that represents a ticket. This class should have public fields that store the ticket number and the time slot that’s assigned to the ticket and a method that sets the next ticket number. As each ticket is issued, the application should create a ticket object with the next ticket number and add it to a queue. Then, when the time slot for the ticket begins, the ticket should be removed from the queue.
· Once a time slot begins and the tickets in that time slot are removed from the outstanding list of tickets, the user should not be able to issue any more tickets in that time slot even if the maximum number of tickets for that time slot haven’t been issued.
Notes:
This project requires only minimal object-oriented programming skills (chapter 12 is sufficient) but has extensive collection and date/time requirements. It also requires that you research and use the Timer control, which isn’t presented in the book.
The complexity of the project can be varied as follows:
· Implement just the ticket assignment portion of the application, with no real-time monitoring of the time.
· Issue a ticket for the current time slot if tickets are still available.
· Instead of issuing a ticket for the next available time slot, let the user choose the time slot for the ticket. Then, the tickets in the current time slot will have to be listed individually at the top of the form. Depending on how you design the data store, this may result in a major redesign of the application.

We are facing overpopulation and a growing food crisis in many parts of the world.
We are facing overpopulation and a growing food crisis in many parts of the world. After reading your assignments last week, do you think such crises are the result of poor planning, food hoarding, climate change or a combination of all of the above? As you read, some scientists think overpopulation is not the problem after all. Meanwhile AIDS is decimating populations in Sub-Saharan African, leaving millions of orphans with little means of support. What implications for conservation do you think these two demographic shifts will have in the future? Discuss and use other examples to illustrate your point.
The healthcare industry continues to face many challenges such as rising costs,
Scenario
The healthcare industry continues to face many challenges such as rising costs, consumer prices, prescription costs, lost revenue, mergers, and acquisitions. Most organizations are trying to address these barriers by implementing quality improvement strategies. You are about to graduate from Rasmussen College and are looking to land a job in the healthcare industry. After several weeks of research, networking, and submitting job applications, you receive a call from a talent acquisition specialist with Testing Health, Inc. After the initial phone interview, she tells you how impressed she is with your resume, skills, and knowledge, and so she would like to move forward with the next steps in the hiring process.
She informs you that the next step will be to provide the hiring manager an opportunity to view your knowledge and understanding of strategic planning and marketing. You have been given a week to prepare a PowerPoint presentation with voiceover narration. You will provide the talent acquisition specialist with the presentation via email, and she will forward it to the hiring manager for review.
To prepare your strategic plan and marketing presentation you will need to review the website of a company of your choosing within the healthcare industry. You will review the about page, mission, vision, services they provide, their target audience, any news or current mergers and acquisitions, and their last quarterly report. Based on your review, identify a mock, quality-improvement focus area. You will create a PowerPoint presentation outlining a 3-year strategic plan and marketing strategy based on your identified focus area, which may include adding or eliminating services, products, or staff for the company you researched.
Instructions

Suppose we have the past 60 monthly returns for a stock. A monthly return is represented as a percentage. A 10% monthly return means that if at the beginning of the month its price is 100 and at the end of the month its price is 110, we say its monthly return is 10%.
The question is: what is the probability of seeing this stock's annual return for the next 12 months greater than 10%? How do we solve this problem? The problem obviously includes "forecast" and "probability". Please provide your ideas.

This project requires the ability to understand and apply scientific knowledge that you acquire both inside and outside the anatomy and physiology classroom. You will be presented a pathology that is applicable to the systems we have covered and will be assigned by your instructor. This is a pathology that you may encounter in your nursing career.
As you progress through this course, you will acquire information in a sequential, topic-specific manner. Each topic will include information that is relevant to this assignment. For example, the knowledge you gain from the lesson on cell morphology will be applied to later system-specific questions. Your explanations on each sub-topic should include information from sources that go beyond the textbook or classroom. You are expected to clearly understand the meaning of each topic before you construct your answers. For example, you are expected to know the meaning of “homeostasis” and to understand the topics that are connected to it. Don’t forget to read and understand the rubric before you start. Refer to it often – it will help guide you through the process.

Is there a way for health care providers to balance the patient’s right to know with respect for the cultural practices and beliefs of the family? Is not fully disclosing information to the patient an ethical breach?

So, there are a few things about this task:
So, there are a few things about this task:
Keeping in mind that this bibliography is what is included with a research paper. In other words, the pages of your bibliography would be the final pages of your entire research paper assignment.
The "bibliography" part is what contains all of the sources you have used to write your research paper. The sources should reflect what your focused research topic is. For example, a topic of "police reform" is way too broad, general, and so you would have to narrow it down to something more manageable for an 8-10 page paper (which is the length requirement for the research paper in EWRT 2). So, a more narrowed topic would be police reform that looks at disciplining officers who break the law, or another narrow topic could be removing qualified immunity for police officers. Those two examples are narrow enough and would work for an 8-10 page paper.
For an 8-10 page research paper, you should have at least 8-10 sources. One of your sources can be The New Jim Crow. Again, the version you are posting below this week is a rough draft version, so you should have 4-5 sources.
Your initial post below should be as close as possible to the correct format. This means that your bibliography must be in MLA format. If you have forgotten what that looks like, review past modules. Learning MLA formatting is one of the key skills required for this class. This also means that your bibliography should be in alphabetical order. I know that the hanging indent might be difficult to format here, and that is okay. In your final version of your research paper (due next week--officially. Remember what we talked about last week about due dates), you will be expected to have this done correctly.
On the line above your bibliography, like a title, you need to share your focused topic. The format should look like this:
Topic: Removing qualified immunity so that bad police officers can be prosecuted for their crimes.
