Shareholders' returns objectives focus on dividend per share and dividend yield. A business's financial objectives are influenced by internal factors like stakeholders and strategy, and external factors such as economic climate, competition, and legislation.

The Walt Disney Company and Pixar Inc.: To Acquire or Not to AcquireEric Moon
This document discusses Pixar and Disney's potential acquisition of Pixar. It provides overviews of both companies and their capabilities.

L.L. Bean is an outdoor equipment and apparel retailer founded in 1912. They use a forecasting process to determine inventory levels, but face problems with inaccurate forecasts for new and "never out" items. Possible solutions include improving forecasting methods over time, cost-benefit analysis of stockouts vs excess inventory, gathering more data on new items before launch, and looking at qualitative factors for "never out" items rather than just historical data. Promoting new items in catalogs and having backup vendors can also help address forecasting issues.

This document discusses key findings from CEOs for Cities about the drivers of the new economy and implications for urban policy. It makes several points:
1) National policy is essentially urban policy as cities are disproportionate drivers of economic output and new economic activity.
2) The economy is now global and regional in nature, so urban policy must consider these larger geographic scales.
3) An efficient regional economy uses all of its assets, including developing a knowledgeable workforce and reducing inequality.
It also examines how factors like education, functional specialization, and immigration contribute to economic growth and the need for cities to build on their unique strengths.
The document discusses reflections on a survey of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) on global trade finance.

Consumer FinTech deck from Charles Moldow at FinTEx foundationcap
This document summarizes the growth of the financial technology (fintech) sector and marketplace lending. It notes that marketplace lending has grown exponentially in recent years, with Lending Club originating over $5 billion in loans in 2014. Marketplace lending offers consumers a simpler, more transparent process and uses alternative data and analytics to improve underwriting. This new model provides a better customer experience and potentially lower costs compared to traditional banks. The document argues this represents a major opportunity for continued growth and disruption of the large traditional banking industry.

The New Dynamics AX: Evolution to the Digital Agevinair
Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and organization on the planet to achieve more. As technology evolves and the digital age continues, the time for companies to adapt to disruption is shrinking from 67 years to just 15 years. Digital disruption is also impacting industries like grocery which is expected to see online sales rise much faster than in-store sales. Microsoft aims to help organizations with this digital transformation through offerings that provide intelligent user interfaces, proven business logic, and continuous updates to keep systems running effectively for business anytime, anywhere.
The document discusses the importance of manufacturing for the U.S. economy and jobs. It summarizes trends showing a decline in manufacturing employment from 1970-2010 due largely to rising trade deficits, not productivity. Unfair trade practices like currency manipulation by other countries and their subsidies have contributed significantly. The decline can be addressed by reforming trade policies to curb manipulation, ending subsidies, and providing more support for U.S. manufacturers through job training, R&D funding, and infrastructure investment.
The Context For Information Technology Since The Late 20th CenturySumeet Raj
The document discusses a presentation about productivity, technology, and the global economy. It notes that productivity increased at different rates from 1870-1950, 1950-1973, and 1973-1993.

It also discusses how the world economy became globalized in the 1990s, driven by developments in technology and the deregulation of financial markets. This led to the rise of internet and information technology industries in the US.
