applying business theories, models, and concepts to guide analysis of problems and situations, a key aspect of the business professional’s job.

Assignment Expectations

Applying business theories, models, and concepts to guide analysis of problems and situations
In this SLP assignment for Module 5 our emphasis will be on applying business theories, models, and concepts to guide analysis of problems and situations, a key aspect of the business professional’s job.
Later, in MGT499 (Strategic Management) Module 5 SLP you will continue to develop your application of business theories, models and concepts. In that assignment you will be working on your conceptual and critical thinking skills.
And, finally, in BUS499 (Integrative Capstone) your conceptual and critical thinking skills will be further developed. In Module 5 SLP of that course you will complete an extensive written assignment.
These three assignments build upon each other and aim to offer you the opportunity to enhance and practice your business analytical and problem solving skills.
Mod 5 SLP Assignment: For the present assignment please provide an essay that identifies key organizational efforts that are (or would be) among the most useful or important CSC (COMPUTER SCIENCE CORPORATION) to assure control of important organizational processes. Focus in particular on the core technologies of the organization. You can discuss control efforts and strategies already utilized by your company, and/or make recommendations that you believe would be useful for your organization to consider.
Begin your essay with a thesis statement in the introductory paragraph that identifies what you consider to be the key organizational control efforts that are (or would be) important to the success of your organization, and then develop a persuasive essay to support your thesis.
Remember to use background readings to support your key arguments and to cite and reference your sources. Your goal is to convince your professor, who will require some well-reasoned and well-supported arguments. Actual examples of control and accountability systems in action and how they work in your organization will also help to add support to your arguments, but you need to be more than descriptive. You also need to explain how and why the the controls work and why they are needed.

Equity and Debt Essay

Assignment:

American Superconductor
As you know from reading through the background materials, the decision to use debt or equity to raise money is not a decision taken lightly by management. So when several years ago, in 2003 American Superconductor decided to raise funds through equity it was definitely a major decision that required intense discussions at the highest levels of management.
Read the article below about American Superconductor and do some of your own research using the CyberLibrary and internet search engines. You can also take a look at the official American Superconductor webpage http://www.amsc.com/

Assignment Expectations:
After doing your research, apply what you learned from the background materials and write a three page paper answering the following questions:
What are the advantages and disadvantages for AMSC to forgo their debt financing and take on equity financing? Do you agree with their decision? How can a company’s cost of equity be determined? Is there a tax deduction from the use of debt financing? Please explain.
Explain both of your answers thoroughly. Be sure to support your opinions on these assignment questions with references to the background materials or to other articles in your paper.

Read the article below available in Proquest:
American Superconductor switch ; Westboro company plans to raise money through a stock offering, Andi Esposito. Telegram & Gazette. Worcester, Mass.: Aug 26, 2003. pg. E.1 from library portal via coursenet.
Abstract (summary)
“AMSC’s management and board of directors believe the decision to forgo a secured debt financing and to adopt an equity financing strategy under current market conditions is in the best interests of our shareholders,” said Gregory J. Yurek, chief executive officer of AMSC. The 265-employee company has operations in Westboro and Devens and in Wisconsin.
Finally, the Northeast blackout “shined a lot of light on the problems we have been talking about as a company for three to four years,” Mr. Yurek said. AMSC products, such as a system installed this year in the aging Connecticut grid and high temperature superconductor power cables and other devices bought by China for its grid, are designed to improve the cost, efficiency and reliability of systems that generate, deliver and use electric power. “We are a company with products out there solving problems today,” he said.
Full Text
WESTBORO — American Superconductor Corp., whose power grid products have gained heightened visibility since the Aug. 14 Northeast blackout, has scuttled plans for a $50 million secured debt financing and will instead raise the money through a public stock offering.
The company will disclose the number of shares to be sold from the company’s treasury, the amount of the expected proceeds and names of underwriters in a Securities and Exchange Commission registration statement that will be filed within two weeks, AMSC said yesterday.
AMSC had told shareholders in July that it expected to close at the end of this month on a secured debt financing package made up of a five-year term loan of up to $30 million from three groups of institutional investors, $10 million in subordinated notes and a $10 million bank credit facility.
The company hadn’t identified the investors or bank.
“AMSC’s management and board of directors believe the decision to forgo a secured debt financing and to adopt an equity financing strategy under current market conditions is in the best interests of our shareholders,” said Gregory J. Yurek, chief executive officer of AMSC. The 265-employee company has operations in Westboro and Devens and in Wisconsin.
The company’s stock, which closed yesterday at $12.20, up 60 cents on the Nasdaq Stock Market, has risen 305 percent this year.
Mr. Yurek said three factors led to the decision. First, AMSC has picked up revenue momentum and is on track toward achieving its target of $45 million to $50 million in revenue this year, more than doubling revenue of fiscal 2003.
Secondly, AMSC’s high temperature superconductor motor and generator business unit, which is working on a large U.S. Navy contract, was profitable in the first quarter ended June 30 — one quarter ahead of expectations.
Finally, the Northeast blackout “shined a lot of light on the problems we have been talking about as a company for three to four years,” Mr. Yurek said. AMSC products, such as a system installed this year in the aging Connecticut grid and high temperature superconductor power cables and other devices bought by China for its grid, are designed to improve the cost, efficiency and reliability of systems that generate, deliver and use electric power. “We are a company with products out there solving problems today,” he said.
At June 30, AMSC had cash reserves of $12.1 million. Last year the company spent $48 million to fund operations. But this year, because of cost savings and other steps, spending is forecast at $13 million to $15 million.
AMSC needs the money for general corporate purposes and to scale up manufacturing at Devens of its second-generation high temperature superconductor wire.

Healthcare Law

Mr. Albert Crenshaw, aged 45 years, is employed as a computer specialist. Through his employer in the

private sector, he has obtained health coverage with the Happy Family Health Plan, which is an MCO.
Happy Family has a network of participating physicians who have agreed to provide services to Happy
Family enrollees.

Each enrollee is required to choose a PCP from Happy Family’s list of participating physicians.
Because Mr. Crenshaw had recently moved to the area, he did not know any doctors. Therefore, he chose
Dr. Julia Smith as his PCP because she was on the list for Happy Family’s network.

Dr. Smith is a physician in private practice. Happy Family entered into a participating physician
contract with her because she was willing to provide services at a discount. In paying Dr. Smith,
Happy Family withholds 20% of her fee for each visit and puts that 20% into a risk pool. At the end of
the year, Dr. Smith will share in any money left in the pool.

Happy Family’s participating physician agreement is a standard form contract. It specifies that
participating physicians are independent contractors, rather than employees or agents of Happy Family.
In addition the contract between Happy Family and Dr. Smith provides that it may be terminated by
either party, with our without cause, on 30 days notice to the other party.

In the community in which Dr. Smith practices, it has been routine medical practice for many years to
give an electrocardiogram (EKG) to any patient older than 40 years who complained of chest pains.
However, on October 5, 1998, Happy Family sent a bulletin to Dr. Smith and the other participating
physicians with regard to Happy Family’s new policy on EKGs. Under that new policy, EKGs will only be
covered by the plan if the patient is older than 50 years.

Approximately 3 weeks later, on October 25, 1998, Mr. Crenshaw began experiencing chest pains after
working out at his gym during his lunch hour. He immediately went to Dr. Smith’s office. She knew Mr.
Crenshaw was covered by the happy family health plan, and she remembered the recent bulletin she had
received from the plan. Dr. Smith examined Mr. Crenshaw but did not perform an EKG, even though
performing an EKG under those circumstances was the routine practice in the community at the time.

Dr. Smith advised Mr. Crenshaw that he was safe for him to go back to work. Mr. Crenshaw did go back
to work, where he died of a heart attack two hours later.

As soon as Dr. Smith heard about the death of Mr. Crenshaw, she called the president of Happy Family
Health Plan. Dr. Smith told him that from now on she was going to order an EKG for every patient who
needs it, regardless of age. The next day, Happy Family responded by giving Dr. Smith 30 days notice
of termination from the plan which would effectively prevent her from treating any Happy Family
patients.

Subsequently, Mr. Crenshaw’s widow sued Dr. Smith for medical malpractice in state court. The
plaintiff (Mrs. Crenshaw) had an expert witness who testified that Mr. Crenshaw would not have died if
he had been given an EKG instead of being sent back to work. Mrs. Crenshaw also claimed that Happy
Family gave financial incentives to Dr. Smith to encourage her to provide less care to patients
covered by the plan. According to Mrs. Crenshaw and her lawyer, those financial incentives should be
illegal and, at the very least, should have been fully disclosed to Mr. Crenshaw.

In response, Dr. Smith denied that she was liable for the death of Mr. Crenshaw. According to Dr.
Smith, she satisfied the new standard of care as established by the Happy Family Health Plan. In
addition, Dr. Smith’s lawyer argued that the financial arrangements between Dr. Smith and Happy Family
were entirely lawful and that Dr. Smith had no legal obligation to disclose her financial arrangements
to Mr. Crenshaw. Finally, Dr. Smith’s lawyer contended that the medical malpractice case should be
thrown out of court a cause of the federal law known as ERISA, which regulates employer-sponsored
health plans such as Mr. Crenshaw’s plan.

In addition, Mrs. Crenshaw sued the Happy Family Health Plan in state court for damages caused by
Happy Family’s improper denial of benefits. According to Mrs. Crenshaw, Happy Family’s refusal to pay
for a necessary diagnostic tests was a substantial cause for her husband’s death. Therefore, Mrs.
Crenshaw claimed that she is entitled to $1 million from Happy Family to compensate her and her
children for 20 years of Mr. Crenshaw’s lost wages. In addition, she asked the court to make Happy
Family pay $10 million in punitive damages to teach them a lesson and encourage them to change their
policy for the future. However, Happy Family’s defense lawyer responded that the case against Happy
Family may only be heard in a federal court because of the federal ERISA law on employee health plans.
Moreover, according to Happy Family’s lawyer, even if Mrs. Crenshaw wins the case, she cannot recover
$1 million in lost wages or $10 million in punitive damages for Happy Family. Rather the most that she
can possibly recover against Happy Family is the cost of the EKG exam, which would have been covered
by the plan.

Who is likely to prevail on each claim, and why?

How does donor�s intervention affect agricultural banking: a case study of three West Africa Countries
(Mali, Senegal, and Burkina Faso).
ATTENTION!!!

CLIENT NEEDS PROPOSAL ASAP!!! The rest of the paper can be prepared later.

The original research proposal was written about three african countries. I want you to select only
one country (the poorest or the one with highest level of agriculture lending\donors) and collect data
for all the banks in the country.
also: The reference list must be improved with an higher number of citation of academic literature
(now you have more reference from international organizations than academic one)
– The methodology has to be explained in detail looking also at what is done by someone else in a
similar framework.
I need to be done major part of the paper during next couple of weeks… the proposal is already
written so I need additional 10 pages around…

A balanced score card report for a fictional company in the computer industry named ACME computer group

Course Assignment: Balanced Scorecard Paper

Create a hypothetical business that will compete in an industry in which you are interested. Using
knowledge gained from this course and previous coursework; develop the strategic objectives for your
business in the format of a balanced scorecard. The strategic objectives are measures of attaining
your vision and mission. As you develop the vision, mission, and values for your business, also a SWOT
analysis should be considered AND conveyed in your paper. Be sure to consider all of the following
four quadrants of the balanced scorecard when developing your strategic objectives:
1. Shareholder Value or Financial Perspective, includes strategic objectives in areas such as:
a. Market share
b. Revenues and costs
c. Profitability
d. Competitive position
2. Customer Value Perspective, includes strategic objectives in areas such as:
a. Customer retention or turnover
b. Customer satisfaction
c. Customer value
3. Process or Internal Operations Perspective, includes strategic objectives in areas such as:
a. Measure of process performance
b. Productivity or productivity improvement
c. Operations metrics
4. Learning and Growth (Employee) Perspective, includes strategic objectives in areas such as:
a. Employee satisfaction
b. Employee turnover or retention
c. Level of organization capability
d. Nature of organization culture or climate
e. Technological innovation
Address at least three strategic objectives for each of the following four balanced scorecard areas
identified above (financial, customer, process, learning & growth). For each strategic objective,
address a goal and rationale to support the goal using a balanced scorecard format. The goal and
rationale to support the goal should be in quantitative and qualitative format.

(For example a strategic objective in the shareholder or Financial Perspective is “Increase in Market
Share”. The goal to actually measure this strategic objective of market share increase could be
“Increase market share by 2% for each of the next three years”. The rationale to support the goal
could be ?Increase the portfolio of communications products, by introducing one new cellular phone to
the commercial market on a quarterly basis generating an increase in market share of 2% on an annual
basis over the next three years.?

Provide a 10-12 page paper that explains your critical thinking on how you derived your objectives
from your vision, mission, values, and SWOT analysis. Note for this paper the use of headers (level
one and level two) are required specifically for the balanced scorecard strategic objective
perspective and measurement criteria explanation. Consult the APA 6th edition manual on pages (41-49,
62-63) for additional details regarding level one and level two headers, or contact me should you have
any questions subsequent to reviewing the APA manual. Points will be deducted if the level one and
level two headers are not included in your paper specifically for the balanced scorecard strategic
objective perspective and measurement criteria explanation.

Also, be sure to include the title page, running head and abstract in your paper. (The title page,
abstract page, and reference page(s) are not included in the page count.) This assignment must include
a minimum of five sources (published 2007 to date for research purposes), and cited on the reference
