WHAT TYPE OF BUSINESS

Pick a small business or nonprofit organization, preferably one you care about. (Perhaps owned or run by a family member or friend [or yourself]). Pick a SMALL business or nonprofit—preferably one that you know well or care about. Please DON’T PICK A FRANCHISE OR MAJOR CHAIN! These are not allowed! Why a small business? You have more of an ability to learn about it, see its strengths and shortcomings, and develop a better marketing program for it. Please do NOT submit a project on a bar, a restaurant of any type, or a coffee shop. Experience has shown me that these projects do not work well. Then, clearly connecting what you are saying to the concepts or examples from the book or guidesheets, describe their marketing shortcomings—what are they doing wrong, and what might be improved? ***** If you simply say what the guidesheets or book say, without providing recommendations, you are not doing this correctly! For instance, if you give the 4Ps of the business as a description, but don’t discuss how to improve them in some detail, you are doing this wrong! ***** The course has several sections. Each one corresponds to a guidesheet. For instance, the first section covers the first few chapters! YOU MUST GIVE AT LEAST ONE RECOMMENDATION FROM 3 DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE COURSE! You can give more than one recommendation from a section, but you MUST use 3 different sections! You are trying to improve or innovate their marketing. Don’t use these exact words, but you might say something like: Chapter 5 (or any other Chapter) describes (and clearly explain a point from the chapter) and Acme Fabricators is not thinking about this. They could market better if they worked on this by (and discuss a solution). You only have 4 minutes! So don’t spend more than 45 seconds describing the business! Think about whether you are using time well. Include visual aids like charts to get your points across to save time. You only have 4 minutes! ***** Remember, only describe what they are doing to the degree that it helps you explain how you would make changes!

Strategic Value of Employee Benefits Programs

To attract, motivate, and retain good workers, companies need to define what an employee wants from the employment relationship. One way to define employee needs is to consider “total rewards,” which are everything an employee perceives to be of value resulting from working for the company. Benefits are a core element of total rewards and the ever-growing package of offerings have evolved. You must now work with the company to define precisely where the various programs will be categorized. Write a six to seven (6-7) page paper in which you: 1. Identify and discuss at least three (3) important variables that almost always should be considered by organizations when providing employee benefits programs (this is before the programs are implemented). Be sure the response is specific and relevant. 2. Compare and contrast income protection programs and pay for time not worked programs, both of which are usual elements of benefits programs. How are the programs similar? Are they mandatory 3. Research and discuss at least four to five (4-5) of what may be referred as “Other Benefits” that you could recommend to the management team as necessary elements for the benefits package. HINT: Flextime and product/service discounts are good examples. 4. Develop an employee benefits package for any exempt or non-exempt position level of your choosing, making sure you support the selection of your program elements. NOTE: The preferred method for presenting your benefits package information is using a table or exhibit, but either approach is not mandatory.

Budget Planning and Control

Description

Briefly discuss the ways a realistic budget will benefit the owner of Babycakes versus no budget at all. Be sure to use Babycakes as the company and any specific product details in your explanation. Prepare a sales budget for the LA Babycakes store for the fourth quarter of 2016. Present the number of units, sales price, and total sales for each month; include October, November, and December, and the total for the quarter. Use one half of the Valentine’s Day sales as the basis for a usual day in the new quarter. Use 30 days for each month. Calculate the total sales for each month for October, November, and December. Create three new products, one for each of the three holiday seasons in the fourth quarter. Estimate the sales units, sales price, and total sales for each month. Describe the assumptions used to make these estimates. Include an overview of the budget in the report, presenting the actual budget as an appendix with all the data and calculations. Add these amounts to your sales budget. The owner of Babycakes is interested in preparing a flexible budget rather than the static budget she currently uses. She does not understand why, when sales increase, her static budget often shows an unfavorable variance. Explain how a flexible budget will overcome this problem. Use the details of your newly prepared budget for the fourth quarter of 2016 to address her concern. Imagine that Babycakes is facing a financial challenge that is causing the actual amount of money that it spends to become significantly more than its budgeted amount. Include a discussion of your own unique cause of the overspending. Explain the corrective actions needed to address these challenges.

Net Present Value NPV and Adjusted Present Value APV

Net Present Value (NPV) and Adjusted Present Value (APV)

The capital budgeting decision techniques discussed so far all have strengths and weaknesses; however, they do comprise the most popular rules for valuing projects. On the other hand, valuing an entire business requires that some adjustments be made to various pieces of these methodologies. As an example, in valuing a business, one frequently used alternative to Net Present Value (NPV) is called Adjusted Present Value (APV). Research other popular business valuation models. In 600 minimum -750 maximum content words (title page, abstract, and references not included in count), respond to the following: Define APV. How does it differ from NPV?
