I wrote this business plan as part of the "It's Your Time" Entrepreneur Training Program offered by the Inland Empire Women's Business Center and sponsored by Citibank.
Out of 70 participants and 21 submitted business plans, this one was chosen by a panel of judges as the first place winner, and I received a prize package of over $2500 in consulting services.
I eventually determined that the idea behind Homeschool Catalyst no longer resonated for me, and I moved on to a different start-up idea.

Propose a new product or service for the new company division
The company in question is Shaw Group Inc., located in the Eastern part of Canada. The company has been the leading community developers as well as natural resource manufacturers within this area. It focuses mainly on construction products and to do this effectively, the company has been divided into six main divisions. They include Clayton developments, Shaw precast solutions, Shaw brick, Ven-Rez, Shaw resources and Prestige homes. Each of these divisions are entitled with different activities and tasks that makes the company to be managed in a decentralized manner. Despite of that, the company has been very successful since it was founded in 1986 up to date. It has enjoyed a very high growth rate, high profits and revenues, presence experienced business units, among other key factors that have contributed to its success. The following paper addresses one key proposed new division that will also deal in a new product line for this company. Being a construction based industry, the proposed new division must still focus upon construction. The new division will therefore be known as Shaw Construction Vehicles. As the name suggests, the division will deal in construction vehicles as the main product. This will include the manufacture of these vehicles which will be made available to other construction companies for purchase and renting purposes. Alternatively, the vehicles will also be used for building and construction purposes for this company. Generally, construction must take place using construction vehicles; this is the key reason as to why this new division is expected to add value to all other divisions in this company. Some of the vehicles in which the new division will manufacture include loaders, excavators, bulldozers, cement mixer, backhoes and cranes.
Describe how the division addresses customer needs and achieves competitive advantage
The new division in question is aiming at ensuring the needs of the customers are well taken care of. In addition to this, it is aiming at obtaining a competitive advantage against other major firms which are already existing in the construction vehicle industry.

Abstract
The purpose of the Session Long Project is to give you the opportunity to explore the applicability of the module to your own life and work. This is done in a number of different ways - sometimes with cumulative papers, sometimes with practical hands-on experimentation, sometimes with reflections on a place of work or life. The common thread is personal application, aimed at demonstrating a cumulative knowledge and understanding of the course material.
For this course, the Session Long Project will take the form of putting together background from each of the four perspectives for a balanced scorecard approach to an organization or organizational unit with which you are familiar. In the final module (Module 5), you will have a go at strategy mapping. You won't be building a complete Balanced Scorecard - that would be far beyond our current scope - but you’ll have a chance to see what goes into it and how it gets put together into a coordinated whole. As in the Cases, you’ll be drawing on your previous coursework to help.
The Module 1 assignment has two parts. First, identify an organization in which you have access to at least some information concerning financial data, staffing and human resource systems, marketing and customer relations, information systems, and operations. While most material on the Balanced Scorecard is written from the private, for-profit point of view, it’s perfectly possible to use this approach with public or non-profit organizations as well.
For the second part of this assignment, consider the organization's mission and strategy from the perspective of its financial operations (from your work on the Case, your previous coursework, and your background reading, you should be reasonably clear what such operations are). In this section of the assignment you’ll begin to identify objectives and measures relevant to that perspective. If you’re unclear on just what objectives and measures are, here is a presentation that describes what they are and how to write them: Objectives, Measures, Targets & Action Plans.
When you have thought about it and made your selection, specify (in 2–3 pages):
• The name of your organization
• What this organization ...

Date: 10/23/2022
Re: Business Planning and Strategic Planning
Confidential
Business and Strategic planning are necessary to increase revenue and address potential risks that can negatively affect client relationships. Both can also help healthcare organizations prepare for future disruptions or crises.
A business plan is a framework of strategies and initiatives to start a new business. It outlines the services planned to be provided and how you intend to run your company ("Business plan vs. strategic plan," 2022). It details the financial aspects of the healthcare organization, such as its revenue streams, operational procedures, and resource allocation ("Business plan vs. strategic plan," 2022). It specifies when and how the organization plan to see a benefit from the investment. A business plan has short- or mid-term goals that define the steps necessary to achieve them. It usually lasts up to 12 months.
A strategic plan, in contrast to a business plan, details the objectives of an organization and the steps it will take to achieve those objectives. ("Business plan vs. strategic plan," 2022). A strategic plan is a business framework that existing companies implement when they want to improve their business processes and streamline their operations ("Business plan vs. strategic plan," 2022). It defines your organization's future, setting goals that will move you toward that future and determining the major projects you'll take on to meet those goals. It also includes sustaining that strategy focus over three to five years.
Adopting telehealth and telemedicine services is a focus area in the healthcare industry that could help our company increase revenue and client satisfaction. More outstanding communication with our clients' patients through telehealth and telemedicine services can lead to improved revenue cycle management, increasing revenue (Adepoju et al., 2022). One way to do this is through virtual check-ins, a messaging function within a telehealth platform, or video visits with patients that can save time and avoid unnecessary office visits. The benefits of telemedicine go beyond offering convenience to patients and reducing revenue loss for the clinic. Telemedicine is a promising investment that may prove to be worthwhile in reducing overall healthcare costs (Adepoju et al., 2022)
To ensure a strategic telemedicine plan is adopted in the organization, the following questions below must be considered and addressed appropriately:
· Is our telehealth strategy embedded in our organizational strategy? ("Strengthening your telehealth," n.d.)
· Do we understand patient needs and preferences around v.

Purpose of Assignment
This assignment is designed to help students analyze and interpret primary and/or secondary data and research. First, students will be provided with a marketing report that allows for preparing basic executive level data insights. Second, they will be allowed to pick a company and product or service. This assignment will help prepare students for the development of their marketing plan. Students will be creating a marketing plan (refer to Marketing Plan and Outline document) so they may want to choose a company and product or service that has data readily available or where they can use demographic/psychographic data to provide insights.
Assignment Steps
Part 1:
Analyze the Week 1 Business Growth Overview dataset. This is a marketing report generated by an analyst for the Senior Vice President (SVP) of Marketing at a large corporation. The analyst is new and has provided summary data but no insights or commentary for the SVP.
Construct a minimum 525-word memorandum for the SVP providing insights and commentary. The memorandum should include your analysis of the following:
· Major areas of increase and decrease in revenue or type and/or category of business
· Trends that are evident in terms of revenue or type and/or category of business
· Insights that would help formulate marketing strategies to either continue growth or reverse decline
· Additional analysis you (if you were SVP) would like to build a marketing goal and strategy or strategies (and why)
Part 2:
Select a global or multi-regional (does business in more than one country) company and one of its products or services that will serve as the basis for your marketing plan. You should obtain two years of annual reports as well as two years of 10K reports (provides a comprehensive overview of the company's business and financial condition and includes audited financial statements) for your data source. Once you have selected your product or service, you must define the size and type of your selected company that provides the product or service (available from annual reports). This need not be elaborate but must include total number of employees, production volume, distribution methods, and so forth. Record this information in a summary document as outlined below.
Company and product selection is a critical part of this project. You must ensure your proposed company can implement the marketing methods discussed in Marketing Management.
Prepare a minimum 175-word summary document and send it to your instructor as a record of your selection. The summary document should include the following:
· Name of Company
· Location of Company Headquarters
· Name of Product or Service selected
· General description of company (number of employees, revenue, type of ownership, web page, etc.)
· General description of product or service

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS GOOGLE AND COMPETITOR MICROSOFT
Financial Analysis of Google and competitor Microsoft
This paper is to examine the future financial health of Google Inc. and its competitor Microsoft Corporation. Of note the two competitors are prominent technology giants. Both Google and competitor Microsoft Corporation are publicly traded companies. Google is a prominent provider of a widely popular search engine. In addition Google is also a world class leader of other products and services which include digital advertising, cloud computing, Web app, browser, internet analytics, and operating system development. Contrastingly Microsoft is known to manufactures, supports, develops and sells electronics, personal computers, computer software and services. It is recognized for Edge web browsers, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Windows brand of operating systems
The analysis of the financial health of the two companies Google and Microsoft will include the funding of the operations of the business from external sources namely debts, debentures and repurchases of stock.
External Financing Needs
For an organization to have a precisely healthy financial position, it is imperative to endeavor its cash and its debt cautiously. Google’s capital structure is comprised of a blend of debt and equity that takes full advantage of the stock price, so as to safeguard and support the financial structure. Google primarily generates revenues from providing affordable digital adverting. The company finances its operations through debt financing, and equity.
Consequently Google’s debt to equity ratio for the quarter which ended June, 2016 is 0.03 % this may perhaps suggest Google has a sensible percentage of its general assets financed by debt. A high debt to equity ratio in general denotes a company has been forceful in financing its progress with debt. Moreover the value of Google’s assets remarkably exceeds the company’s complete debt (SEC Google, 2015).
Google’s current debt to equity ratio represents the value of common shareholders’ equity which also astoundingly outshines that of general liabilities. Additionally, the company has ample resources from investors to bolster its long-term obligations. Google has demonstrated the prospect to offer a substantial return on investment for investors; however its deficiency to distribute dividends in the near future may be a drawback for stockholders in regards to short-term stock holdings.
On the other hand, Microsoft external financial necessities are met by issuing debt to yield benefit of positive liquidity and pricing in the debt marketplace. Microsoft provides a particular fixed securities and income to generate returns on investments. The earnings of these issuances will be utilized for corporate operations, which includes, funding for working capital, repurchases of capital stock, repayment of existing debt, capital expenditures and acquisitions (SEC Microsoft, 2015).

Abstract
The purpose of the Session Long Project is to give you the opportunity to explore the applicability of the module to your own life and work. This is done in a number of different ways - sometimes with cumulative papers, sometimes with practical hands-on experimentation, sometimes with reflections on a place of work or life. The common thread is personal application, aimed at demonstrating a cumulative knowledge and understanding of the course material.
For this course, the Session Long Project will take the form of putting together background from each of the four perspectives for a balanced scorecard approach to an organization or organizational unit with which you are familiar. In the final module (Module 5), you will have a go at strategy mapping. You won't be building a complete Balanced Scorecard - that would be far beyond our current scope - but you’ll have a chance to see what goes into it and how it gets put together into a coordinated whole. As in the Cases, you’ll be drawing on your previous coursework to help.
The Module 1 assignment has two parts. First, identify an organization in which you have access to at least some information concerning financial data, staffing and human resource systems, marketing and customer relations, information systems, and operations. While most material on the Balanced Scorecard is written from the private, for-profit point of view, it’s perfectly possible to use this approach with public or non-profit organizations as well.
For the second part of this assignment, consider the organization's mission and strategy from the perspective of its financial operations (from your work on the Case, your previous coursework, and your background reading, you should be reasonably clear what such operations are). In this section of the assignment you’ll begin to identify objectives and measures relevant to that perspective. If you’re unclear on just what objectives and measures are, here is a presentation that describes what they are and how to write them: Objectives, Measures, Targets & Action Plans.
When you have thought about it and made your selection, specify (in 2–3 pages):
• The name of your organization
• What this organization does - its mission, vision, and overall strategy
• The access you have to information about this organization. Remember, you’ll need information about its financial performance, marketing, internal operations, st.

Memorandum

From: LaToya T. Benson, Strategic Planning Manager
Date: 10/23/2022
Re: Business Planning and Strategic Planning
Confidential
Business and Strategic planning are necessary to increase revenue and address potential risks that can negatively affect client relationships. Both can also help healthcare organizations prepare for future disruptions or crises.
A business plan is a framework of strategies and initiatives to start a new business. It outlines the services planned to be provided and how you intend to run your company ("Business plan vs. strategic plan," 2022). It details the financial aspects of the healthcare organization, such as its revenue streams, operational procedures, and resource allocation ("Business plan vs. strategic plan," 2022). It specifies when and how the organization plan to see a benefit from the investment. A business plan has short- or mid-term goals that define the steps necessary to achieve them. It usually lasts up to 12 months.
A strategic plan, in contrast to a business plan, details the objectives of an organization and the steps it will take to achieve those objectives. ("Business plan vs. strategic plan," 2022). A strategic plan is a business framework that existing companies implement when they want to improve their business processes and streamline their operations ("Business plan vs. strategic plan," 2022). It defines your organization's future, setting goals that will move you toward that future and determining the major projects you'll take on to meet those goals. It also includes sustaining that strategy focus over three to five years.
Adopting telehealth and telemedicine services is a focus area in the healthcare industry that could help our company increase revenue and client satisfaction. More outstanding communication with our clients' patients through telehealth and telemedicine services can lead to improved revenue cycle management, increasing revenue (Adepoju et al., 2022). One way to do this is through virtual check-ins, a messaging function within a telehealth platform, or video visits with patients that can save time and avoid unnecessary office visits. The benefits of telemedicine go beyond offering convenience to patients and reducing revenue loss for the clinic. Telemedicine is a promising investment that may prove to be worthwhile in reducing overall healthcare costs (Adepoju et al., 2022)
To ensure a strategic telemedicine plan is adopted in the organization, the following questions below must be considered and addressed appropriately:
· Is our telehealth strategy embedded in our organizational strategy? ("Strengthening your telehealth," n.d.)
· Do we understand patient needs and preferences around v.

Purpose of Assignment
This assignment is designed to help students analyze and interpret primary and/or secondary data and research. First, students will be provided with a marketing report that allows for preparing basic executive level data insights. Second, they will be allowed to pick a company and product or service. This assignment will help prepare students for the development of their marketing plan. Students will be creating a marketing plan (refer to Marketing Plan and Outline document) so they may want to choose a company and product or service that has data readily available or where they can use demographic/psychographic data to provide insights.

· Major areas of increase and decrease in revenue or type and/or category of business
· Trends that are evident in terms of revenue or type and/or category of business
· Insights that would help formulate marketing strategies to either continue growth or reverse decline
· Additional analysis you (if you were SVP) would like to build a marketing goal and strategy or strategies (and why)
Part 2:
Select a global or multi-regional (does business in more than one country) company and one of its products or services that will serve as the basis for your marketing plan. You should obtain two years of annual reports as well as two years of 10K reports (provides a comprehensive overview of the company's business and financial condition and includes audited financial statements) for your data source. Once you have selected your product or service, you must define the size and type of your selected company that provides the product or service (available from annual reports). This need not be elaborate but must include total number of employees, production volume, distribution methods, and so forth. Record this information in a summary document as outlined below.
Company and product selection is a critical part of this project. You must ensure your proposed company can implement the marketing methods discussed in Marketing Management.
Prepare a minimum 175-word summary document and send it to your instructor as a record of your selection. The summary document should include the following:
· Name of Company
· Location of Company Headquarters
· Name of Product or Service selected
· General description of company (number of employees, revenue, type of ownership, web page, etc.)
· General description of product or service

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS GOOGLE AND COMPETITOR MICROSOFT
Financial Analysis of Google and competitor Microsoft
This paper is to examine the future financial health of Google Inc. and its competitor Microsoft Corporation. Of note the two competitors are prominent technology giants. Both Google and competitor Microsoft Corporation are publicly traded companies. Google is a prominent provider of a widely popular search engine. In addition Google is also a world class leader of other products and services which include digital advertising, cloud computing, Web app, browser, internet analytics, and operating system development. Contrastingly Microsoft is known to manufactures, supports, develops and sells electronics, personal computers, computer software and services. It is recognized for Edge web browsers, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Windows brand of operating systems
The analysis of the financial health of the two companies Google and Microsoft will include the funding of the operations of the business from external sources namely debts, debentures and repurchases of stock.
External Financing Needs
For an organization to have a precisely healthy financial position, it is imperative to endeavor its cash and its debt cautiously. Google’s capital structure is comprised of a blend of debt and equity that takes full advantage of the stock price, so as to safeguard and support the financial structure. Google primarily generates revenues from providing affordable digital adverting. The company finances its operations through debt financing, and equity.
Consequently Google’s debt to equity ratio for the quarter which ended June, 2016 is 0.03 % this may perhaps suggest Google has a sensible percentage of its general assets financed by debt. A high debt to equity ratio in general denotes a company has been forceful in financing its progress with debt. Moreover the value of Google’s assets remarkably exceeds the company’s complete debt (SEC Google, 2015).
Google’s current debt to equity ratio represents the value of common shareholders’ equity which also astoundingly outshines that of general liabilities. Additionally, the company has ample resources from investors to bolster its long-term obligations. Google has demonstrated the prospect to offer a substantial return on investment for investors; however its deficiency to distribute dividends in the near future may be a drawback for stockholders in regards to short-term stock holdings.
On the other hand, Microsoft external financial necessities are met by issuing debt to yield benefit of positive liquidity and pricing in the debt marketplace. Microsoft provides a particular fixed securities and income to generate returns on investments. The earnings of these issuances will be utilized for corporate operations, which includes, funding for working capital, repurchases of capital stock, repayment of existing debt, capital expenditures and acquisitions (SEC Microsoft, 2015).

In 1975, 29 July Bill Gates used the word Micro-Soft and then with the partnership of Paul Allen, the company name was registered as Microsoft. The company started with BASIC coding language development and then it designed a lot of product including the very first product “operating system” (Kvåle, 2016).
The company also produced the first-word processor which named as Multi-Tool Word. The company is highly famous because of its business expansion. The corporate is top rated in the entire world due to its product/services expansion in the global world. The company is operating on a large scale which is the major stimulator of its product expansion. Microsoft planned to expand its product to win the loyalty and hearts of its consumers once again. The company major goal is the technology exploration to facilitate the consumers which ultimately brings large revenue to the company. The new product expansion also has the target to break the record of financial benefits and customer loyalty. It’s not a piece of cake in this highly competitive world but Microsoft has strong hierarchies for product or service expansion. The company is trying to provide the new product for the businesses which is Cloud ERP.

Abstract
The purpose of the Session Long Project is to give you the opportunity to explore the applicability of the module to your own life and work. This is done in a number of different ways - sometimes with cumulative papers, sometimes with practical hands-on experimentation, sometimes with reflections on a place of work or life. The common thread is personal application, aimed at demonstrating a cumulative knowledge and understanding of the course material.
For this course, the Session Long Project will take the form of putting together background from each of the four perspectives for a balanced scorecard approach to an organization or organizational unit with which you are familiar. In the final module (Module 5), you will have a go at strategy mapping. You won't be building a complete Balanced Scorecard - that would be far beyond our current scope - but you’ll have a chance to see what goes into it and how it gets put together into a coordinated whole. As in the Cases, you’ll be drawing on your previous coursework to help.
The Module 1 assignment has two parts. First, identify an organization in which you have access to at least some information concerning financial data, staffing and human resource systems, marketing and customer relations, information systems, and operations. While most material on the Balanced Scorecard is written from the private, for-profit point of view, it’s perfectly possible to use this approach with public or non-profit organizations as well.
For the second part of this assignment, consider the organization's mission and strategy from the perspective of its financial operations (from your work on the Case, your previous coursework, and your background reading, you should be reasonably clear what such operations are). In this section of the assignment you’ll begin to identify objectives and measures relevant to that perspective. If you’re unclear on just what objectives and measures are, here is a presentation that describes what they are and how to write them: Objectives, Measures, Targets & Action Plans.
When you have thought about it and made your selection, specify (in 2–3 pages):
• The name of your organization
• What this organization does - its mission, vision, and overall strategy
• The access you have to information about this organization. Remember, you’ll need information about its financial performance, marketing, internal operations, st.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Good job this week and keep inserting those visuals! I left more detailed comments above.
For the final CLC consider using some tables and showing Revenue dropping by different
percentages and the impact to EPS on a trailing 12 months basis.
I left detailed comments in the sections above but a few things: First I like that you included
a chart you created on your own! We want more of those. I mentioned that this didn't really
have details of investments Disney made into the business. You'll want to get more specific
and look at how much they spend within their cash flow statement and investments. What
are the trends. Remember you are playing the role of an analyst so think in terms of here is
what the company is doing and now I'm going to show you the numbers in graphs and
tables to support your thesis.
Make sure citation are in the paper as you didn't have any. Look to implement those
adjustments in future weeks.
WIthin the paper the group is on some good paths. Now lets start using those visuals. Take a
look at the announcements again as I dropped in some links to excel tutorials. There are
plenty on YouTube and in the class resources, GCU also in the learning center has some
excel help.
Document the numbers behind the why. Show trends as this will help the reader see where
Disney is going. Look forward to future weeks.

Analysis of a Company: The Walt Disney Company
Step 1: Analysis of Fundamentals: Goals and Strategy
The Walt Disney Company, or Disney, has an array of goals and strategies crucial for
the company to achieve its business objectives. The organization's primary goal is to create
high-quality content focused on providing excellent and customer-oriented content to its
audiences worldwide. This goal entails creating innovative, engaging, memorable films, TV
shows, and other forms of entertainment. Additionally, leveraging technological innovations
is another perfect goal for Disney to achieve its business objectives. Besides, the company
commits to using technology to drive innovation and enhance customer experience by using
data analytics to improve customer preferences, virtual and augmented reality, and other
emerging technologies to create immersive and appealing content (The Walt Disney
Company, 2018). Studies acknowledge that organizations leverage technologies to optimize
their operations and efficiency by streamlining their activities, similar to the commitment
by Disney (Olokundun et al., 2022).
Disney pursues the goal of expansion to new markets by constantly looking at and
expanding its reach across the global market. For example, the company is continuously
launching new theme parks and creating content for emerging platforms like streaming
services and new franchises. The company acknowledges its moves for global expansion as
strategic positioning for the future by establishing more effective frameworks for serving
customers across the globe (The Walt Disney Company, 2018). As a result, the organization
commits to establishing a culture of creativity and innovation by allowing the employees to
think creatively, take risks, and promote new ideas to steer the company forward.
Therefore, with the vast leverage on technology, commitment to expanding in the global
markets and providing high-quality content, fostering innovation, and building partnerships
in service delivery, Disney adopts the differentiation strategy for high-level competitiveness
and offers products to different segments. Differentiation entails providing customers with
unique products other than the provisions by the competitors, which Disney leverages for
customer satisfaction and positive experience (Keiningham et al., 2019).
Step 2: Analysis of Fundamentals: Revenue Outlook
The Walt Disney Company (TWDC) reported earnings for its fourth quarter and fiscal year
that ended October 1, 2022. The revenue noted for the fourth quarter grew by 9% and for
the fiscal year grew by 23%. Additionally, TWDC’s diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the
fiscal year increased to $3.53 from $2.29 the prior year. The Direct-to-Consumer (DTC)
segment has experienced losses, but these losses are expected to lessen moving forward
with the Disney+ plus platform achieving profitability in the fiscal year 2024 barring any
major shifts in the economic climate (The Walt Disney Company, 2022). TWDC has also
reported that future revenue will come from the benefits of price increases and the Disney+
ad-supported tier which will increase profits from the streaming service and generate
shareholder value in the future (The Walt Disney Company, 2022). At the end of November
4. 2022, an announcement was made that the current Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Bob
Chapek, would be replaced by the previous CEO, Bob Iger. Under Chapek’s guide, TWDC
faced many challenges and trials. The Board of Directors’ decision to replace Chapek with
Iger put the company back in alignment for a strategic direction and renewed growth
(Wulandari, 2022). During Iger’s previous four-decade tenure at Disney, he was able to
expand the business in many ways including the acquisitions of film studio giants such as
Pixar and Marvel (Wulandari, 2022). Overall, the revenue outlook for TWDC is conservative
given the current economic environment and post-pandemic state; however, the optimism
is high given Iger’s return, with some analysts forecasting the stock price to increase
anywhere from 4.34% to 143.82% higher (Wall Street Zen, n.d.).

Step Three: Investments to Support the Business Unit Strategy or Strategies
While we know that the company is still growing in an enormous rate, we have to
look at the strategies that are being used for the platform. Almost everyone has been to the
parks before and after the pandemic; but now we have a lot more interesting things that
happened at Disney. We now have Disney plus, and more investors to the company to help
everything continue to grow. Disney plus had mentioned from quarterly earnings. Disney’s
CEO Bob Chapek mentioned billions of dollars of investment content to have this streaming
service during the pandemic. By offering even better value by building premium content in
large volumes, Disney may be able to reprice Disney+, which is now available at $8 for
monthly subscriptions and $80 for annual subscriptions in the U.S. The main thing that
Disney Plus added was a lot of different variety of shows and movies. You can even see the
new Marvel movies that comes in theaters a couple months in advance or even when it is in
theaters. One movie is Black Widow and it made great views to the Cinemax and Disney and
the same time.
Figure 1: Trends in revenues and profits show the performance from different movies that
5. are on Disney Plus and future
Facts are that Disney is still growing, even if its movies they made or even with their
streaming program that can show the movies or even the other platform they are with. The
have Hulu and ESPN plus. These two platforms are now with a Disney plus and still growing
until this day because the growth of the network and the expanding of the company. Disney
strategies are mainly trying to expand the streaming program so that not only kids but also
grown-ups can enjoy it by watching the old Disney shows to watching sports on ESPN plus.
Step Four: Future Profitability and Competitive Position
Generally, revenues and profits are on an upward trend and are likely to keep growing as
the economy stabilizes. As the economy recovers from the recession caused by the
pandemic, the company's overall performance is expected to improve. In the last financial
quarter of 2022, total revenues made by the company grew by 9%, indicating an increase in
demand for its streaming content and visitors to its essential theme parks. Suppose the
company can successfully venture into new markets using its streaming service. In that
case, it will be able to grow its long-term revenues and profitability and be in a better
competitive position.
Figure 1: Trends in revenues and profits show the performance of the company has been on
an upward trend in the recent past and is likely to be sustained in the future
The fact that the company has multiple revenue streams is also a critical competitive
advantage that will enable its operations to grow in the long term. For most film studios,
distribution has moved to streaming platforms, which the company has successfully
adapted to by establishing its streaming services. Several strategic acquisitions in the recent
past have also enabled the company to reduce the competition it faces and grow its revenue
base. The multiple revenue streams are critical sources of sustainable competitive
advantage that will allow the company to protect its profitability for the long term.

Step Five: Future External Financing Needs
The future external financing needs for Disney is a quite simple thing to do for
company. Disney have made many of television shows and movies that are well known in
the world today. They also have taught the youth a lot about different things in the world.
6. The best situation for Disney is to keep promoting the streaming productions and to keep
the parks up to dates on seasonal dates. I believe in all four seasons Disney have always
been promoting during the seasons like the Spring and Winter. Disney earning revenue is
$19.24 billion dollars, this is also a distribution of the media, entertainment, parks,
experiences, and product that Disney is selling to the public. Analysts review the capital
structure of a firm to gain insights about management's strategic relationship with and
reliance on outside capital.
Figure 1 shows the Sales Revenue from parks and movies in the past years
Disney is a well-followed firm. Zacks reports at least 24 sell-side analysts who have
made buy, sell, or hold recommendations on the firm, providing estimates of earnings per
share and future growth. While the firm provides substantial amounts of information about
itself in the form of earnings reports, there is a substantial amount of information that is
available about the firm from external sources. Both facts would lead us to expect less bias
in the information that is available about the firm. The CEOS LPV biomass protocol will
include a thorough discussion outlining the types of errors that should be considered (many
of which are discussed above) and present three basic methods of error propagation.
Access to Target Sources of External Finance
Generally, the company can easily use existing and new shares to raise additional capital.
Common shares, as a critical external source of finance that the company intends to use, can
be easily accessed by the company in various ways. As the company is already listed, new
shares can be quickly issued by the board of directors without the need for approval by all
shareholders at an annual general meeting. Only major shareholders need to be consulted.
Alternatively, a rights issue can instead be used, where only existing shareholders will be
allowed to buy new shares (Brigham & Houston, 2021). Preferred shares can also be issued
if the company intends to raise capital and create a particular group of shareholders.
Figure 2: A comparison of current debt and equity levels shows that the company still has
additional borrowing capacity.
The company can quickly raise debt due to its stable financial position and brand value. The
company's debt-to-equity ratio is 2022 was 1:2, meaning there were two equity units for
each unit of debt in the capital structure. This generally indicates a stable financial position
that can be used to source additional debt capital. The company also has a strong brand
reputation and is a well-known global corporation, which makes it easier to source money
from leading financial institutions.
