THE TWO ORGANIZATIONS ARE: AMGEN, INC. CELGENE CORP. ****THESE TWO ORGANIZATIONS MUST BE USED**** As a financial statement analyst, select two organizations in the same industry and analyze their financial statements over time. The financial analysis period must be, at a minimum, the three most recent years. Since you will be spending a considerable amount of time on the project, ensure that you pick organizations that interest you. The Form 10-K reports, which the organizations filed with the SEC, may be the best place to learn about a particular industry, organization, and organizational strategy, and to obtain reported financial statements. The reports are accessible at http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. . An alternative means to obtain the report is by clicking on the SEC filings link on an organization’s website to obtain the latest Form 10-K filings. You can also find current stock valuation and other relevant stock information from financial portals such as Yahoo finance, Google finance, and Reuters. Your Portfolio Project must include the following for the two organizations: Executive Summary Analysis Overview Industry economics and strategies Assessment of financial statements’ quality Financial analysis including: Credit (risk) analysis liquidity, capital structure, and solvency ratios) Profitability analysis (return on investment, operating performance, and asset utilization ratios) Cash flows analysis (flow of funds ratios) Market measures ratios Projected financial statements including income statements, balance sheets, and statements of cash flows* Valuations * You will need to make necessary adjustments for material non-recurring or unusual income or expenses as well as off-balance sheet assets or liabilities, among others as covered in the course. The adjustment will improve comparability and ensure accurate representation of the organizations’ economic performance. Be sure to identify important assumptions regarding the companies, industry and business environment, and other important assumptions for estimates and forecasts, including their business strategies. Include the financial statements you analyzed and other information used as exhibits after the reference page. Your project must be formatted according to CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA Requirements (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. .

Team Project Deliverable and Presentation You team works for XYZ Company, which has a directional strategy focused on expanding the company through horizontal integration. Your team can determine the official name of the company and industry. The company does a great job keeping close watch on its cash position and consistently maintains a positive cash flow; is very solvent; controls its overhead expenses; has solid marketing and sales, production, and human resources performance metrics, and fosters a culture of strategic thinkers. Historically, your company has expanded through a combination of organic (new startups) and inorganic growth and feels it’s time to consider acquisition opportunities. The Board is looking to engage in a friendly acquisition of a company that will not only increase its market share, but allow it to penetrate new markets and increase the company’s abilities to meet current and future consumer needs and expectations. Since management’s attitude is to pursue a friendly acquisition as opposed to a hostile takeover, your team may consider looking at conglomerates that have experienced significant growth through inorganic growth (acquisitions) and may now be looking to refocus on their core business and are willing to consider divesting some of its businesses that are within your industry. There could be other companies that are under financial duress and receptive to acquisition offers. Your team is a part of the corporate mergers and acquisition (M&A) department and has been assigned the task of identifying two potential acquisition targets. Since your Board is committed to a strategy of horizontally integration, you will be looking for possible acquisitions from within your industry. You will be performing a preliminary analysis of the companies under consideration, and then ultimately recommend one of the companies move forward for a more in-depth valuation by M&A Department. Notes: The target acquisitions should be publicly traded and have the same fiscal year end, preferably December 31st. In addition, your team is encouraged to select a proper name for your company and the industry for which it is aligned. To successfully complete your preliminary analysis of the target acquisitions, your team should follow this high level process flow: 1. Select Comparable Companies that Satisfy Inclusion Criteria 2. Conduct Qualitative Research on the Companies 3. Conduct Quantitative Analyses of the Companies (financial) 4. Prepare Report of Findings with Recommendation Select Comparable Companies Describe the methodology used to select the target acquisitions. You may want to consider utilizing the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) to identify companies within you r industry. Of course, there are a variety of Internet sites that can assist you in locating firms within your chosen industry, such as Google Finance and Yahoo Finance.

Case/Firm Strategy Analysis Project Description & Requirements • Formulating a research strategy: what is required, what are the sources, how are they accessed and how should our team proceed to gather the information? • Locating and using library sources of information: directories, CD-ROM and other databases (e.g., Lexis-Nexis, ABI/Inform), periodical indices, and industry surveys and outlooks published by a variety of organizations and current business periodicals (e.g., Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Fortune) must be used to provide depth to phase two of the project. • Using and locating non-library sources of information: the Internet/www can be used to access the home pages of commercial firms, government agencies (such as the Department of Commerce or the Securities & Exchange Commission), trade associations and brokerage firm reports for phase two of the project. • Organizing what appears to be unrelated data/information into a logical format and communicating it in a logical written form or style. To satisfy the major research requirement of this course, each team will prepare, submit and present a set of recommended strategic actions to be taken by the firm that is the focus of their assigned case. The Case/Firm Strategy Project is to be completed in two parts that will be included in a single written report--following the requirements provided--and an oral presentation. For additional guidance as to format, refer to the Guidelines for Written Analyses in the course syllabus and information provided in this document and on BlackBoard. The completed combined analysis and update report (including PowerPoint slides used in the presentation) must be submitted by the date noted in the Course Outline/Schedule. Include a Table of Contents with the name of the team member responsible for completing each major sub-section. • Part one of the project requires that students perform a 1brief analysis of information provided in the assigned case to provide background related to the firm’s external and competitive environments. This enables the team to [1] identify any external opportunities and threats facing the firm, [2] describe the firm’s competitors and their approaches to competing and [3] identify key success factors (KSFs) for the industry. The next section of the part one analysis requires that a firm analysis be performed to [1] identify the firm’s strengths and weaknesses (the value of the firm’s resources, capabilities and competencies) relative to its competitors and key success factors and [2] identify immediate problems or opportunities facing the firm as well as decisions to be made as identified in the case. Using the external and internal and external analyses as background, the team then will develop alternatives and make strategy-related recommendations. This requires that the team [1] identify alternatives available to the firm that will enable it to solve its problems, take advantage of opportunities and o ...

This assignment engages you in different perspectives on a text and gives you the opportunity to employ a useful tool for note-taking and understanding. 1. Listen to/read three interviews about the Syrian refugee crisis and M.I.A: Rolling Stone interview: "M.I.A.: The Permanent Revolution of Pop's Most Fascinating Radical" (Links to an external site.) This American Life radio show episode "Are We There Yet?" (Links to an external site.) Daily Show segment "Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Welcomes Syrian Refugees to Canada" (Links to an external site.) For each interview, use the double-entry or dialogic notebook technique*. As the term implies, you are engaging in a dialogue with a text; in a sense, you will be “talking back” to the work. What I want you to do is take a piece of notebook paper and fold it in half length-wise, so you have two columns. Now, draw a line where the fold is, and you have two sides of the paper to make notes on, or have a conversation. On the left side, you can take notes, including facts, interesting or important quotes (don't forget the page number if pertinent), unfamiliar terms, connections to other works, and so on. Essentially, you make a note of anything that strikes you as important or interesting about the piece. Once you've finished reading the work, go back and look at your notes. Use the right side of the paper to comment on them. What do your notes mean? What do they reveal about the text’s meaning or significance? Why do you think this particular line caught your attention? How can you use this information in your own writing and in class discussions? This is where you should develop your critical questions. Dialogic notebooks can be used in any number of ways: You can write down a quote on the left (with the page number and title, so you don't forget!) and your thoughts/analysis of the quote on the right You can compare and contrast two sources or stories; you can write sources that support your thesis on one side, and sources that act as counter-arguments on the other You can ask questions one one side, and then explore the answers in your notes on the other side-- or words you need to look up and then their definitions. Really, you can benefit from using a dialogic notebook in any class where reading is important. It can help increase your understanding and appreciation of texts, and can be invaluable in helping you write papers, improve your vocabulary and prepare for tests. It is a very useful way to organize notes. So...now you get to try it out! 2. As you listen to/read the interviews, use the dialogic notebook to take notes: On the left side , note the purpose and audience for each interview (keep in mind each interview likely has several purposes and audiences). On the right side , write down quotes from the interviews that support your claims about purpose and audience. Keep in mind an important part of the note-taking process is the ability to keep track of your sources.

My friend liked her class, but she felt that the teacher was very cold. She said the teacher just taught grammar and never asked about the students’ families or talked about her own. A man commented one day that the reason there are so many single women in Canada is that they are lazy. His female friend was surprised and insulted by his attitude. A young woman had recently arrived in Canada ready to start a new life. She found the weather a little cold but still enjoyed wearing the same style she wore at home—tight skirts and tight tops that had low neck- lines. After about a month, she began to notice people staring at her. She thought they were looking at her because she was a foreigner. Then one day someone told her that only prostitutes dressed that way. She felt angry and insulted. Next choose from the following cultural orientations and themes as they relate to the critical incidents (can be more than one). Explain how your chosen critical incident relates to one or more cultural orientation(s) and theme(s) in your report: Universalism/Particularism Power Distance Hierarchy/Equality Individualism/Collectivism Space: Private/Public Face Communication: High/Low Context Communication: formal/ informal Communication: direct/indirect Communication: non-verbal Competitiveness Thinking Learning Style Interpersonal Distance and Touch Time Death/dying Cheating Customs Knowledge Teacher/student Relationship building Discipline Apology Work ethic Conflict Respect Parenting Negotiating Gender roles Assignment Requirements You will want to conduct your own.

This assignment consists of two parts. Part I—Case Studies Select one of the three case studies given below. Analyze the facts in the scenarios and develop appropriate arguments and recommendations using case law and scholarly sources. Do not copy the case studies into the paper. Cite your sources in APA format on a separate page. Add Part 2 and submit the two parts in a single document. Scenario 1: Criminal Law Hank's Hunting & Fishing Supply, with stores located throughout the state of Utopia, sells a wide variety of sporting goods, including guns. Section 323.45 of the Utopia Penal Code requires every seller of guns to verify that the purchaser has not committed a felony in any state within the past five years. If the purchaser has committed a felony within the past five years, the seller is not allowed to complete the sale. Selling a gun to a felon is considered a misdemeanor and is punishable by up to one year in jail and/or a maximum $10,000 fine. Wayne Carver, who was convicted of a felony under Utopia's penal code four years ago, purchased a gun at one of the Hank stores. Mel Loew, a salesman, sold Carver the gun without asking for identification or checking Carver's criminal background. Loew never checked whether any of the customers to whom he sold guns were felons. He was not aware of the law requiring him to check on every customer's prior criminal history. However, Warren Peace, Loew's supervisor, knew of the law and also knew that Loew never checked whether a customer was a felon. Hank, the sole shareholder and director of Hank's Hunting & Fishing Supply, knew about the law but did not know that Loew did not check on any customer's prior criminal history. Carver used the gun in a bank robbery and shot a police officer and a bystander during his getaway. Carver has not been apprehended. Can Loew be punished under Section 323.45 of the Utopia Penal Code? What are the potential causes of action for Peace, Hank, or Hank's Hunting & Fishing Store? What penalties should be assessed? Does your state have a process that restores a felon's rights to own firearms? If so, provide the law and a short description of the process. Do you feel the process is legal and ethical? Scenario 2: Employment Law Sarah Franklin, an Apostolic Christian, worked as an overnight stocker at SaveMore. One night, during a break, Franklin participated in a conversation about God, homosexuality, and same-sex marriages. The next day, an employee told the manager that Franklin made inappropriate comments about gays to Casey, a gay employee. Over the next six weeks, SaveMore investigated the incident by interviewing and obtaining statements from employees who were present during the conversation. In his statement, Casey reported that Franklin pointed her finger and said that God does not accept gays, that gays should "not be allowed to marry," and that they will "go to hell." Four employees confirmed that Franklin said that gays "are going to hell." SaveMore te.

This assignment asks you to apply geographical concepts to your life and to the world around you. The assignment requires both primary and secondary research. You will write three short “journal entries,” an introduction, and a conclusion (plus a bibliography). You will select three units from the course outline to focus on (e.g. urban geography, cultural geography, etc.). For each unit you will choose a small site (e.g. a playground, shop, public square, school, café, living room, temple, theatre, park) in Metro Vancouver and apply the concepts and vocabulary from the unit (readings + lectures) to your observations at the location. To do this, you must visit the place and spend at least one hour closely observing (looking, listening, smelling, touching, making sketches, taking photos, and possibly speaking to people) and taking notes . You will use your observations to illustrate the concepts/vocabulary from the unit you selected. At the same time, you are using geographical concepts to help you understand what you observe. You will record your reflections and observations in a journal entry. Your journal entry will connect the location and your observations to the concepts in the unit. Do not take anything for granted! As you will discover, even apparently minor features (a table, a photograph, a tree, a plaque, a glass of milk, a lamp, mementos, a bee) are important. Look for relationships between space, place, identity, and power. How can geographic concepts help you understand such interactions? Although your analysis will take into account landscape and humans (as well as other living beings), you may choose to focus on landscape/objects or human behaviour (rather than both). The three sites: -one must be a room in the apartment/house in which you currently live -one must be in the neighbourhood in which you live (e.g. Kits, Mount Pleasant, Guildford) -one can be anywhere in Metro Vancouver You will not be able to cover everything in the unit, but at least 2-3 key terms/concepts. You may use the same concepts that you used for the media assignment, but your analysis must be substantially different. Each journal entry must be 600-800 words. Indicate the date and time of your observation. Begin with a description of the place you observed, and then move into your analysis. Be sure to define the geographical concepts you use. If your paper contains maps, pictures or diagrams, label them clearly and refer to them in the text. For each journal entry you must also do some outside research using at least one scholarly source. You will use the scholarly source to add depth to your analysis and to incorporate what other scholars have said about the topics you are discussing. In addition to scholarly sources, you may use popular sources (e.g. website, novel, newspaper, movie) if you wish. Any time you use an idea from somebody else you must cite the source. Not doing so is plagiarism. Any citation style is acceptable as long as you are .

This activity will enable you to evaluate an example of music using a modified critical analysis outline. Choose one of the musical selections to analyze critically. You may access these pieces through the YouTube website: • Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony (Bernstein—Baviera 1/6) [Video file][9 min 10 sec] • Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor ( attr . J. S. Bach) [Video file][8 min 33 sec] • The Prayer (Foster, Bocelli, Dion; Live NYC Central Park, 2011) [Video file][5 min 18 sec] After choosing and listening to one of the selections, conduct research on one of the composers before writing your critical analysis outline. A minimum of two sources are required for this assignment. Because musical terminology can be difficult for those who have not had substantial training, use as a guide the modified critical analysis outline below rather than the one at the conclusion of Chapter 5. You may want to refer to Chapter 5 and the accompanying PowerPoint for any terms or concepts necessary in the analysis. Be sure to include all of the following points: • Classical form • Composer or vocalist biography (brief) • Background of the selection • Dynamics • Message or intended effect • Use of instruments or voices • Your personal response Be sure to include a convincing, inclusive conclusion at the end of your critical analysis and a bibliography of at least two sources that you used to prepare your analysis, one of which may be the class text. Do not use and cite Wikipedia. Instead, visit the Excelsior College Library to learn about academic sources. The page on Evaluating Information Evaluating Information includes helpful sections on "Print vs . Web Resources," Evaluation Criteria," Evaluation Scenarios," and "Media Literacy." Write a 500-750 word critical analysis. Follow the APA style, using the Excelsior College Library resources on learning to use APA Style. .

This article by Bernard Lewis asks important questions about why Middle Eastern countries are often ambivalent about modernization. In the process, he reviews the key elements that create modernity, the theme of this course. Many of the elements of the modern world system he discusses will now be familiar. Others, such as the role of individualism, the separation of church and state, and women’s rights, we have not had time to discuss. By creating this overview and asking what is uniquely part of Western culture and what is beyond culture, Lewis provides a capstone to the last three modules. His erudite musings help us ask: What is modernity? How did it come about? And where is it going? Read the information in the following article: Lewis, B. (1997). The West and the Middle East. Foreign Affairs. January/February. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/middle-east/1997-01-01/west-and-middle-east Answer the following questions: What parts of the modern world does Lewis assign an origin in Western culture? What does Lewis mean by civil society? What part of the modern world developed in Islamic regions? What aspect of global modernity does Lewis believe has emerged from its identification with one or more cultures? SLP Assignment Expectations In the Module 4 SLP, you are expected to: Answer the questions clearly, using full sentences with correct grammar and spelling. Write one or two paragraphs on each question. .

This activity highlights the development of paper diagnostics—diagnostic tools that are inexpensive to make and simple to use. These devices are based on the widely expanding field of micro or nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS). Microfluidic devices move fluid through channels and include inkjet printer heads, needles, and Lab-on-a-chip technologies. These devices are created using millimeter and nanometer components and are an important component of many nanotechnology and biotechnology research facilities. First: Watch: Laurie Garrett: Our failing global health system (21 minutes) George Whitesides: A lab the size of a postage stamp (17 minutes) Small Fixes: Paper Diagnostics Next, familiarize yourself with the following terms and their definitions: Paper Diagnostics: is a versatile, disposable test that can diagnose a tiny amount of urine or blood for evidence of infectious diseases or chronic conditions, designed to be made of paper. Microfluidics: is a multidisciplinary field intersecting engineering, physics, micro/nanotechnology, and biotechnology, with practical applications to the design of systems in which small volumes of fluids will be used (milliliters and nanoliters). Microfluidics emerged in the beginning of the 1980s and is used in the development of inkjet print heads, DNA chips, lab-on-a-chip technology, micro-propulsion, and micro-thermal technologies. Ethics/Social Responsibility: Strive to promote social good and prevent or mitigate social harms through research, public education, and advocacy. This is an important principle of scientific and engineering research. Lab on a chip: A lab on a chip is a device that integrates one or several laboratory functions on a single chip of only millimeters to a few square centimeters in size. Pandemic: A pandemic is an epidemic of infectious disease that is spreading through human populations across a large region—for instance, a continent or even worldwide. Capillary action or wicking: The movement of liquids through thin tubes or the flow of liquids through a porous media, such as the follow of water through soil. Finally, post to the discussion board your answers to the following questions: What are some of the problems (for example, societal, political, technological, and economic) with treating pandemics in the developing world? For the purposes of this activity, the developing world includes Africa, Central and South America, Eastern Europe and parts of Asia. How can nanotechnology be used to manage pandemics with these problems? .

Thinking Critically About Visuals “I Knew That Aliens Existed!” Examine the faces and body Language of people in the photo. Do you think they believe that this “alien” corpse is real? Do you think it might be real? Do you believe that alien life has visited earth? Why or why not? Let's examine the process of critical evaluation by thinking through a sample belief: “I believe that aliens have visited the earth in some form.” A Gallup Poll found that 42 percent of American college graduates believe that flying saucers have visited the earth in some form. Reasons/Evidence Authorities Many reputable people have seen UFOs and had personal encounters with aliens. The government has documented these in secret files, which include the UFO crash at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. Government attempts at concealment and cover-up have been transparent. Thinking Critically About Authorities Although many individuals have testified about alien encounters over the years, almost all scientific authorities have been extremely skeptical. They emphasize that all of the “evidence” is unsubstantiated, controversial, indirect, and murky—the markings of pseudoscientific fantasies. If aliens and UFOs exist, why haven't they announced their presence in an incontrovertible fashion? Some of the most intriguing evidence comes in the form of the government's belated and somewhat bizarre explanations for UFO sightings and the alleged Roswell incident. On June 25, 1997, the Air Force announced that the mysterious happenings in the New Mexico desert in the late 1940s and 1950s were in fact experiments involving crash dummies and weather balloons. Six weeks later, on August 3, 1997, the CIA “admitted” that the U.S. government had lied about alleged UFO sightings in the 1950s and 1960s to protect classified information regarding top-secret spy planes, the U-2 and SR-71. Why did the government suddenly attempt to explain these mysteries after all these years? And why does there appear to be contradictory testimony from different parts of the government? Why do the government explanations seem almost as fanciful and farfetched as the UFO stories? References There are many books supporting alien visitations and alien abductions. Thinking Critically About References Although many books regarding UFOs have been written, few have been more than unsubstantiated speculation. Philip J. Corso, who served on the National Security Council under President Dwight D. Eisenhower, contended in his book The Day After Roswell (Pocket Books, 1997) that he personally directed an army project that transferred to the military various types of technology recovered from the alien ship that crashed in the desert. To date, efforts to prove or disprove his account have been inconclusive. After reviewing written accounts and interviewing people claiming to be alien abductees, Dr. John Mack, a psychiatry professor at Harvard Medical School, came to the conclusion that many of these reports are true.

Thinking about the five steps in the creative process, identify how Jeff Bezos exemplified some or all of these steps in the creative process as elements of personal, political, and positional power to effect change in organizational culture. Step 1: Opportunity or problem recognition – a person discovers that a new opportunity exists or a problem needs to be resolved. The creative leader recognizes a successful way to commercialize this development. Step 2: Immersion – the individual concentrates on the problem and becomes immersed in solving it, collecting information and considering alternatives and solutions. Step 3: Incubation – the person keeps the assembled information top of mind and is engaged in solutions, even if on a subconscious level, while arranging the information into meaningful new patterns. Step 4: Insight – the person realizes a problem-conquering solution often in a random moment or unexpected time. He or she experiences an “Aha” moment in which information patterns fit into business solutions. Step 5: Verification and application – the individual attempts to prove that the creative solution has merit and business viability. The verification procedures include gathering supporting evidence, using logical persuasion, and experimenting with new ideas. The application process requires persistence and tenacity, as others tend to first reject most novel ideas as impractical. Instruction : Please compose a 3-5 paragraph response as identified above. Follow the rubric requirements (attached). Sources must be cited with APA format. Plagiarism is unacceptable. Must be less than 20% copied from source. .
