Coca Cola's mission and values statements regarding social responsibility were reviewed. Two of Coca Cola's primary values - commitment to workplace diversity and ecological sustainability - were chosen to evaluate how well the company embodies these values. A 3-5 minute PowerPoint presentation with 6-8 slides and detailed speaker's notes was to be created to present an evaluation of Coca Cola's manifestation of the two chosen values through their response to a social issue.

Challenges in the Business Environment
Overview
Changing, or even stating, a company’s values can be a long and arduous process, but it often pales in comparison to the effort it takes to make sure they are honored, implemented, and projected. In this assignment, you evaluate how well your chosen company from the first assignment has done in “walking the talk” and responding to a social issue. The chosen company from the first assignment was COCA COLA.
Preparation
Review Coca Cola's mission and values statements as well as other sources that provide insight into the company’s values with regard to social responsibility. Pick two of their primary values and research how the company manifests those values. Simple examples might be the commitment to workplace diversity or ecological sustainability.
Instructions
Create a 3–5-minute (approximately 6–8 slides) PowerPoint presentation that evaluates how well the company embodies its issue-related values. Your presentation should contain detailed speaker’s notes that flesh out and support main points, ideas, or conclusions and have supporting citations.
Summarize your chosen company's Supplier Responsibility information.
In your own words, explain how each aspect of your Supplier Code of Conduct is committed to ethical business practices and social responsibility.
Discuss your company's stance on each of the following areas:
Empowering Workers.
Labor and Human Rights.
Health and Safety.
The Environment.
Accountability.
Identify the key ways that your company's Code of Conduct has changed since last year.
Examine the manner in which your company's Supplier Code of Conduct helps the organization operate as a socially responsible organization.
In this week's discussion, you consider assembling a team to write a supplier code of conduct. Recommend the stakeholders roles (4–5) needed on the team and how each supports the project.

OL 421 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
You will complete a capstone that integrates the knowledge and skills you have developed in the business core coursework and over the duration of the term by
creating an executive summary that highlights the performance of your company from the Capsim simulation. The executive summary is your opportunity to
show your knowledge of the organization, products, and business functions—skills that professionals in this field must possess. You will also reflect on your
journey through the business core and how you plan to position yourself both professionally and in your upcoming program of study. This personal and
professional reflection will specifically focus on business communication skills, professional etiquette, and peer-to-peer and peer-to-leader collaboration.
Evaluation of Capstones
This capstone will be assessed somewhat differently than other courses you have taken online at SNHU. There are two separate components, which will be
evaluated as a unit in determining whether you have demonstrated proficiency in each outcome. Your instructor will guide you through this process, keeping a
running narrative of your strengths and weaknesses in relation to the outcomes as you progress through the class. Your work is expected to meet the highest
professional standards.
This assessment will evaluate your mastery with respect to the following outcomes:
Demonstrate business communication skills and etiquette for constructing personal and professional reflections in a variety of business environments
Analyze strategic problem-solving skills for enhancing business success
Analyze the use of quantitative and qualitative tools for informing strategic decision-making
Assess ethical, legal, and social challenges for suggesting improvement and enhancement strategies
Assess peer-to-peer and peer-to-leader collaboration for improving performance and decision making
Analyze global business markets for informing future business expansion choices
Analyze entrepreneurial and innovative approaches for solving authentic business problems
Prompt
Since you just finished the Capsim simulation, compiled your results, and are now looking to the future of your company, the first component of your capstone
requires you to compose a company performance summary. Imagine that this summary is for new members of the board of directors of your company. It is
imperative that the board understand your company, its value, and its development cycle over the last eight years. This is your opportunity to exhibit your
knowledge of your organization, your products, and how your business functions.
High-level business executives are often short on time, so it is important that your summary is concisely written and rich in content. As has been emphasized in
previous classes in the business core, effective business communication, peer-to-peer and peer-to-leader collaborat.

5.5 Assignment Mini Case StudyGetting StartedA l.docxpriestmanmable
5.5 Assignment: Mini Case Study
Getting Started
A "leveraged buyout" is when a company’s own assets are used as collateral to support a loan that is then used to purchase that same company. It has been described as the company buying itself. In the 1980s, leveraged buyouts became popular as a way to extract more value for shareholders. The approach was highly successful, with several billionaires created in the process. However, this high-risk approach also has serious ethical and financial consequences. It leaves a company saddled with an enormous pile of debt. Frequently the company is stripped of its brands or dismantled to repay the debt. While shareholders and executives may benefit, creditors, suppliers, or employees are often harmed. With this assignment, you will have the opportunity to evaluate a real-life leveraged buyout of your choice, and to carefully consider the ethical and financial implications of the decisions made by executives and their advisors.
Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:
Understand innovative approaches to the use of debt in business.
Evaluate the implications and appropriateness of the aggressive use of debt.
Resources
Video: Basic Leveraged Buyout (LBO)
Video: KKR Henry Kravis
Background Information
The leveraged buyout (LBO) has become a famous, perhaps infamous, approach to corporate finance. Whenever people talk about corporate raiders, they are probably referring to leveraged buyouts. The method has been featured in several movies, including
Wall Street
and
The Boiler Room
. The record-breaking 1989 acquisition of RJR Nabisco by famed private-equity firm KKR was even featured in a TV movie
Barbarians at the Gate
.
While it is easy to disparage such an aggressive and risky maneuver, there are many examples of where a leveraged buyout has resulted in not only great profits but also greatly improved businesses. When a company is purchased through an LBO, it is taken private, meaning its shares are no longer publicly traded. This frequently gives the company the space and discretion it needs to restructure itself.
For example, in 1986 supermarket chain Safeway was purchased by KKR, using only $129 million in cash but over $5 billion in debt. Safeway divested some of its assets and closed many of its unprofitable stores. However, by 1990 the company had greatly improved its profitability and revenue. The company went public again, resulting in $7.2 billion in profits for KKR. Safeway continues to operate successfully to this day, employing some 140,000 people. In 2015, the company was purchased by Albertson’s for $9.4 billion.
In this assignment, you will investigate an example of a real-life leveraged buyout that is of interest to you. You will then have the opportunity to analyze whether the decision to take the company private through an LBO was appropriate, not only in terms of its financial results for the company’s owners but also in consideration.

5.5 Assignment Mini Case StudyGetting StartedA l.docxpriestmanmable
5.5 Assignment: Mini Case Study
Getting Started
A "leveraged buyout" is when a company’s own assets are used as collateral to support a loan that is then used to purchase that same company. It has been described as the company buying itself. In the 1980s, leveraged buyouts became popular as a way to extract more value for shareholders. The approach was highly successful, with several billionaires created in the process. However, this high-risk approach also has serious ethical and financial consequences. It leaves a company saddled with an enormous pile of debt. Frequently the company is stripped of its brands or dismantled to repay the debt. While shareholders and executives may benefit, creditors, suppliers, or employees are often harmed. With this assignment, you will have the opportunity to evaluate a real-life leveraged buyout of your choice, and to carefully consider the ethical and financial implications of the decisions made by executives and their advisors.
Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:
Understand innovative approaches to the use of debt in business.
Evaluate the implications and appropriateness of the aggressive use of debt.
Resources
Video: Basic Leveraged Buyout (LBO)
Video: KKR Henry Kravis
Background Information
The leveraged buyout (LBO) has become a famous, perhaps infamous, approach to corporate finance. Whenever people talk about corporate raiders, they are probably referring to leveraged buyouts. The method has been featured in several movies, including
Wall Street
and
The Boiler Room
. The record-breaking 1989 acquisition of RJR Nabisco by famed private-equity firm KKR was even featured in a TV movie
Barbarians at the Gate
.
While it is easy to disparage such an aggressive and risky maneuver, there are many examples of where a leveraged buyout has resulted in not only great profits but also greatly improved businesses. When a company is purchased through an LBO, it is taken private, meaning its shares are no longer publicly traded. This frequently gives the company the space and discretion it needs to restructure itself.
For example, in 1986 supermarket chain Safeway was purchased by KKR, using only $129 million in cash but over $5 billion in debt. Safeway divested some of its assets and closed many of its unprofitable stores. However, by 1990 the company had greatly improved its profitability and revenue. The company went public again, resulting in $7.2 billion in profits for KKR. Safeway continues to operate successfully to this day, employing some 140,000 people. In 2015, the company was purchased by Albertson’s for $9.4 billion.
In this assignment, you will investigate an example of a real-life leveraged buyout that is of interest to you. You will then have the opportunity to analyze whether the decision to take the company private through an LBO was appropriate, not only in terms of its financial results for the company’s owners but also in consideration.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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.
