2. the question ehich segment the company can serve best.
Now that we know which segments there are in the markets and
having chosen one or more to serve, we have to decide on the
how.
The intellipath is a recommendations that is like the summary of
all did for information for your individual project 5.
Shareholders vs stakeholders wealth maximization as a sole
objective resembles the first situation which is not practical and
possible whereas the stakeholder's including shareholders
welfare resembles the second situation which is natural and
healthier. Growth and development of a business have a number
or requirements and not only the money.
A shareholder is someone who owns a financial share (equity
stock) in the company and this has an ownership share in the
company. A stakeholder is somsone who has an interest inthe
company's performance for reasons other than just capital
appreciation due to an increase in the stock price.
Stakeholder's welfare is a superior corporate goal over
shareholder's wealth maximization. Stakeholders welfare looks
after all the factors responsible for its success whereas the ealth
maximization as an objective over emphasis the important of
money provider i,e shareholders.
There has been a lot i=of debate on the shareholders vs
stakeholders and on who of the two set of prople be given more
importance. Let us first have a look at the major differentiating
factors between sharehloders and staheholders.
The shareholders make profits in term of dividend and capital
appreciation if the companies make profits and the pricing its
share of the index increases. on the other hand, if compare make

3. a loss the same gets affected negatively by the share price and
the returns that shareholders are also affected. Stakeholders are
people who have an interest in the company ethier directly oe
indirectly. One can say that all shareholders re stakeholders but
not all stakeholders may be the shareholders of the country.
The shareholders want company to undertake activities that
have positive effect on stock price or increase etc. Stakeholders
focus on long-term longevity apart from the financial
performance.
Shareholders may want the company to focus on improving the
financial performance. Stakeholders want to incur expenditure
that increases their value but doesn't necessarily add to start
term profitability.
Shareholder's wealth maximization is a well-accepted corporate
objective in almost whole the world barring a few exceptions,
indisputably it is a superior and healthier goal compared to
profit maximization which was lacking a long-term perspective.
Hence, a stakeholder's welfare is evolving as a further improved
and wider corporate objective.

Here is our final discussion board,
What competencies were you able to develop in researching and
writing the course Comprehensive Project? How did you
leverage knowledge gained in the intellipath assignments (Units
1- 4) in completing the Comprehensive Project? How will these
competencies and knowledge support your career advancement
in management?

4. Reading some of my classmates posts this quarter have helped
make me a better writer, I looked at the writing style of some of
my classmates at the thought, “Yes that is a better way to say
that” I have always believed that I do not know everything and
appreciate every little bit of knowledge I can obtain.
Some of the intellipath subjects were a little difficult and took
some extra effort to complete, but I think with the notes that I
have taken from the intellipath I will find something that I can
use in my Unit 5 project.
My long-term goal is to Have my own consulting firm and the
more I learn, the more confidence I gain that I will be able to
run a successful business.
Discuss the similarities and differences between shareholder
wealth maximization and stakeholder wealth maximization
.
When looking at stakeholder and shareholder wealth
maximization, there are many similarities. Stakeholder wealth
maximization is a corporate goal. A stakeholder is responsible
for the corporation as a whole and is responsible for its success.
Employees, creditors, customers, suppliers, and anyone who
may be affected by the business, is a stakeholder.
In shareholder wealth maximization, the shareholder looks at
the success of the corporation as their own financial success.
Shareholders are the owners of the company. Shareholders are
affected by the monetary performance of the organization.

What competencies were you able to develop in researching and
writing the course Comprehensive Project?
Maybe the key area where I was able to learn the most is
understanding global financial systems, differences in the way
we do business compared to Europe. I learned a lot about
structural differences. Dare I say I also learned a lot from my
classmates. Reading their posts and getting insides to their
thoughts is so valuable. I would also like to add here: being
able to adapt, understanding differences and relationships of
parties involved.
How did you leverage knowledge gained in the Intellipath
assignments (Units 1- 4) in completing the Comprehensive
Project?
I think we all would have to agree that Intellipath is both an
amazing platform as well as a great resource. Especially for
Global Financial Management, I was able to gain so much
knowledge. Some of the things that stood out for me are:
When we deal with different countries and even different
continents, we need to be fully aware of those differences and
their implications on the business we are in.
There is more than meets the eye. It would be very easy for us
in the United States to have the attitude that because of how big
our country is and how strong our economy is to forget that this
could be true for other countries as well. Granted on their own,
many countries in the European Union are not that big, but as a
whole, they represent a strong business partner.
When we take it a step further, this translates to opportunities.

6. When we can create partnerships and are able to get a foothold
within Europe, many doors can open and trade can happen.
All of this has in return prepared me very well for the class
project. I gained many insights that I can now implement. I am
putting on the final touches and look forward to submitting the
final product!
How will these competencies and knowledge support your
career advancement in management?
I suppose time will tell. Part of the reason why I am taking this
MBA is the learning, the other part is: I want to take the next
step in my career. Getting to the management level within US
Bank might look like a lofty goal, but we are also a company
that recognizes both talent and hard work. This course is
helping me on many fronts, growing my personal portfolio
through building relationships, and especially for growing
confidence. I now can better explain difficult concepts and
therefore add value to conversations. Thank you for that!

Competencies and Knowledge
Throughout the research, I have been able to develop
competence relating to multinational business operations,
managerial functions and the role of stakeholders. Operating
businesses internationally attracts high risks and challenges,
with require the organizational leaders to develop the necessary
competence, for them to be successful in managing the
businesses. Failure to manage the businesses appropriately,

7. presents the risk of business failure. All organizational
stakeholders have to work in hand with each other, to facilitate
realization of the intended goals. Developing appropriate
managerial competence by managers is not an option, but a
compulsory. Units 1 up to 4 up have been discussing about the
course objectives, and I have been able to identify a string
relationship among the objectives, considering that they all aim
at ensuring effective management of international businesses.
All those course objectives form the basis of completing the
comprehensive project, as they provide the required content.
The developed competencies and knowledge are crucial in
career advancement, within the management field. Have learned
about them, I am planning to ensure that I have used them
positively, to enhance my managerial skills and expertise. I
have been able to learn what is required to be an effective
manager, and the challenges that managers go through,
especially when managing multinational companies. I will work
towards developing the most appropriate knowledge and skills,
to be a competent manager. Shareholder wealth maximization
focuses on growing the wealth of the business owners. The
shareholders sacrifice resources to the organization, and expect
them to generate returns. Stakeholder wealth maximization is
concerned with meeting the needs of individuals who have
interest in the company. The similarity between the two is that
the business must be profitable, for their interests to be met
appropriately (Lund, 2020).
