After watching these three videos,

I’m studying and need help with a Management question to help me learn.

1) Who Moved My Cheese (this is a video for some and a pdf for some), 2) That Used to be Us, and 3) Miss Ernestine, discuss the need for change and some of the barriers to change. What inspires us to change? What doesn’t? What lessons can we take away from these three videos and share with others?

Directions

To receive credit for the discussion board, you must meet the following criteria:

  1. Do NOT describe or restate the content of the discussion reading or video. Instead, choose one or two points that you find interesting/important and elaborate on those points in your discussion. Do not answer the questions in the topic as a list. Answer in essay form.
  2. A minimum response is 300 words.
  3. There are several articles in Course Materials and Web Links that you can, and should, use as references to support your discussions.
  4. You must respond to, at least, two (2) other students in class in their discussion boards as well as any questions and comments from the professor or other students. You are required to actively communicate with other students in this class. You should also respond to all students that reply to your original post.
  5. The initial post for each week’s discussion board is due by Wednesday, 11:59 p.m., of every week when a discussion board is due. Your response to the threads of other students is due no later than Saturday, 11:59 p.m. of each week when a discussion board is due. That leaves Sunday for you to respond to those who replied to your original post.
  6. There are no discussion boards in week 1 or week 9, because these are the weeks for preparation and the final exam. Discussions can be opened in any other weeks if we need them.
  7. I always suggest that students write their discussion board posts in Word or other word processing software rather than directly into Canvas. This allows you to save your work and to make corrections before you post your work publicly. Canvas has, regrettably, been known to eat some thoughtful and insightful responses simply because the response did not load correctly.
  8. Below, you will see a checklist that will help you ensure that your work meets graduate standards and decreases the likelihood that you will suffer oversights.

DB Checklist

Signature Assignment: Short-Term Funding

I’m working on a Business exercise and need support.

About Your Signature Assignment

This signature assignment is designed to align with specific program student learning outcome(s) in your program. Program Student Learning Outcomes are broad statements that describe what students should know and be able to do upon completion of their degree. The signature assignments may be graded with an automated rubric that allows the University to collect data that can be aggregated across a location or college/school and used for program improvements.

Purpose of Assignment

The purpose of this assignment is to allow the student an opportunity to apply their understanding of cash flow management, break-even analysis, and short-term and long-term financing in starting and growing a business.

Assignment Steps

Prepare a 8-11 slide PowerPoint® presentation with speaker notes requesting initial funding of $500,000 to start and run a start-up company. The proposed start-up company is a “organic” mobile food truck that offers farmed veggies and meats to the environmentally conscious and dietary healthy consumer.

Create the presentation in the following format, with at least one slide to cover each of the following areas:

  • 3 Year Income Statement (Profit & Loss) Projections
  • Your assumptions for why and how you will achieve your sales growth and what significant expenses and investments you expect to incur to achieve your revenue goals
  • 3 Year Proposed Funding Schedule (sources and uses of the funds received)
  • Break-Even Analysis
  • Academic and Business References

Use charts and graphs as required.

*****INCLUDE DETAILED SPEAKER NOTES FOR EACH SLIDE*****

Review the following scenarios and assumption, and explain how it impacts your decision to expand:

  • After Year 3, the investors are interested in your company expanding internationally to possibly outsource labor or to reduce manufacturing costs. What countries would you expand to first, and why? What factors would you need to consider in making this decision?
  • What is the corporate tax rate in the countries you are considering expanding your business to, and how will that affect your decision to expand globally? (Use OECD Database or another resource to determine the corporate tax rate).
  • The investors want to see a decision tree detailing the decisions you would make if you received $300K now and $200K at the end of three years instead of $500K up front.
  • The investors would like your team to provide advantages and disadvantages of using debt financing versus selling company stock to raise capital for growth.
  • Briefly explain the venture capital process. Does it make sense for your company to raise funds through venture capital?

Format your presentation according to APA guidelines.

Submit your assignment.

responses 1-3

I don’t understand this English question and need help to study.

For responses 1-3 please respond thoughtfully. Just saying “I agree” or “I disagree” does not constitute a thoughtful response. Add to the 3 responses with very specific, concrete examples (some from the texts, some from personal experience); it’s also a good idea to ask questions which will further the discussion.

1. I think The Traveling Symphony is a museum in the broadest sense of the word, but accurately meets the mark of what a museum tries to convey. According to Google, a museum is simply “a building in which objects of historical, scientific, artistic, or cultural interest are stored and exhibited.” (Google Search) The Traveling Symphony is obviously not a building, but they are a place where historical, scientific, artistic and cultural interests are stored and exhibited. Each performer brings a little piece of the world they knew to the act, and this allows The Traveling Symphony to become a melting pot of all avenues of art and history. Furthermore, I would go on to add that museums are built not only for its audience, but also for the builders themselves, who are so passionate about their craft that they feel the need to spread its gospel—to preserve its legacy. The Traveling Symphony is a museum in this sense because they all feel the need to preserve their craft. This is never more evident than in the their motto: “Survial is insufficient.” (Mandel) All the performers of The Traveling Symphony feel the burden of all their predecessors to carry on their craft; they are not just a museum or the arts because they wanted to be; they must become a museum of the arts.

2. Station Eleven focuses on a variety of characters thorughout the story, the most prominent two being Arthur Leadner and Kirsten Raymonde. Their two storylines overlap for the briefest moment—at the beginning of the book—and remain loosely separate after that. (However, Arthur’s actions some twenty years earlier have great and rippling impact on Kirsten’s life.) They are both protagonists because they carry out a significant role in the story. Arthur’s story is meant to be one of the modern man’s. He falls in and out of love. He experiences heartbreak, and loss, and all the other vices that make humans human today. He looks forward to the future. Kirsten’s story is one of the imminent, dystopian future. She is still very much human, but a great foil to Arthur because she looks to the past as the golden age. It’s a great dichotomy that makes their stories so compelling.

But if I had to choose a single character to be the central focus of the story, I would choose Kirsten. Arthur is already a relic of the past in her timeline, which is only twenty something years in the future. Kirsten is the flameholder. She carries the torch of humanity on her shoulders as she tries to navigate a foriegn world. She proves that humans are resilient after calamity, and that the values of the modern man can be translated to the future.

3. In the beginning of the story it was a little hard to single out one main character of the novel because I personally felt that there was more than one. In the beginning it talks all about Arthur and the life he lives. He was someone I would describe as vain and unfaithful. In the first few pages it talks about how he was married to three different women and to each one could never stop committing infidelity. He was known to be a very great actor someone famous so I felt this made him the main character of the novel somehow.

There is however one other person I felt the whole story really revolved around as well at that was Jeevan the paparazzo who had also had been a paramedic. He attempted to save Arthur’s life while comforting Kristen the child actress who was scared of what was going on. I would describe Jeevan as very caring because he was the first one to try and save Arthur’s life and the first one to try and worn the ones he loves about the Georgia Flu. If I had to choose I would definitely say the main character of Station Eleven is Jeevan.

COM 340 – Module 4: Critical Thinking

I’m working on a Communications question and need guidance to help me study.

Critical Thinking Assignment (90 Points)

Important! Read First

Choose one of the following two assignments to complete this week. Do not do both assignments. Identify your assignment choice in the title of your submission. (Note: This assignment is not a Milestone for the Portfolio Project, so you can choose either option.)


Option #1: Evaluation of a Blog-based Website (Paper)

Select a blogging platform (such as WordPress, Ghost, Drupal, Joomla, Medium, Blogspot, Squarespace, Weebly, Typepad, Tumblr, or Wix). What are the pros and cons of that platform as a choice for a blog-based website? What issues might you need to address or might you have in creating a blog-based website using that platform? Are there any ethical or legal considerations?

Synthesize your evaluation in a 2-page paper (not including the required cover and reference pages) and support your appraisal based on best practices with a minimum of two sources in addition to the course resources. The CSU-Global Library (Links to an external site.) is a good place to find these sources. Your paper must be written and formatted according to the requirements in the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA (Links to an external site.).

Review the rubric for this Critical Thinking assignment in the Module 4 Materials folder for specific grading criteria.

Option #2: Evaluation of a Blog-based Website (Presentation)

Select a blogging platform (such as WordPress, Ghost, Drupal, Joomla, Medium, Blogspot, Squarespace, Weebly, Typepad, Tumblr, or Wix). What are the pros and cons of that platform as a choice for a blog-based website? What issues might you need to address or might you have in creating a blog-based website using that platform? Are there any ethical or legal considerations?

Present a synthesis of your analysis using a 10-slide presentation that includes either speaker’s notes or voiceover. You may use PowerPoint or online tools such as Prezi. Include any information necessary for your instructor to access your presentation, particularly if you are using online slide presentation tools. Follow the CSU-Global Visual Presentation Tips at http://csuglobal.libguides.com/CommonWritingAssign/vispresent (Links to an external site.).

  • If you opt to present your presentation with voiceover, Screencast-O-Matic (Links to an external site.) is a good, free tool for recording your presentation. You will need to create your presentation, record your presentation, and then host it on a site such as YouTube. Submit the video link of your screen recording to your instructor for grading. (Tutorials for using Screencast-O-Matic are available at http://help.screencast-o-matic.com/ (Links to an external site.).)
  • If you opt to create speaker’s notes, fully script your presentation in the notes section of each slide. Submit the slide presentation file to your instructor for grading.

Regardless of which option you choose, support your appraisal based on best practices with a minimum of two sources in addition to the course readings and resources. The CSU-Global Library (Links to an external site.) is a good place to find sources.

Leonardo discussion 150-200 words

I’m working on a Art & Design question and need guidance to help me study.

From your Pearson text book:

“Leonardo was motivated by strong curiosity and belief in the human ability to understand the fascinating phenomena of the physical world. He believed that art and science are two means to the same end: knowledge.

Leonardo showed his investigative and creative mind in his journals, where he documented his research in notes and drawings. His notebooks are filled with studies of anatomy and ideas for mechanical devices, explorations that put him at the forefront of the scientific development of his time.”

He wrote everything in his notebooks in mirror writing, starting on the right side and moving to the left. He wrote in the conventional direction when writing for other people. It has long puzzled people why he did this. Some ideas are:

  • He was trying to make it harder for people to read his notes and steal his ideas.
  • He was hiding his scientific ideas from the powerful Roman Catholic Church, whose teachings sometimes disagreed with what Leonardo observed. Think about what happened to the likes of Galileo.
  • Writing left handed from left to right was messy because the ink just put down would smear as his hand moved across it. Leonardo chose to write in reverse because it prevented smudging.

Why do you think Leonardo wrote in his notebooks this way?

Post to this discussion by the deadline and respond to 2 other students by the end of day.
