He began to run along the shoreline when he stepped on the sharp edge of a shell, giving himself a deep cut on his foot. His mother washed his foot in the lake and put on his running shoe to take him home. One day later, Carlton’s foot looked worse. The gash was red and painful. The foot was warm to touch and appeared swollen. Carlton’s mom put some gauze over the wound and prepared to take him to the local community health clinic.
      1. What is the physiologic mechanism causing the wound to become red, hot, swollen, and painful? How is this different than the inflammatory response that might occur in an internal organ?

Moneyball

Moneyball, a book by Michael Lewis (2003), highlights how creativity, framing, and robust technical analysis all played a part in the development of a new approach to talent management in baseball. It also exhibited great examples of the biases and psychological pitfalls that plague decision makers.

Review the article “Who’s on First?” by Thaler & Sunstein (2003) from this module’s assigned readings. This article reviews the book Moneyball by Michael Lewis.

    • Thaler, R. H., & Sunstein, C. R. (2003). Who’s on first? New Republic, 229(9), 27–30. http://ehis.ebscohost.com.libproxy.edmc.edu/eds/detail?sid=382ae552-96f2-446c-8371-3877f6f0ad63%40sessionmgr111&vid=1&hid=116&bdata=JnNpdGU9ZWRzLWxpdmU%3d#db=pwh&AN=10644212

Write a critique of the article including the following points:

  • Examine why sabermetric-based player evaluation is such a shock to other executives in baseball.
  • Evaluate why Beane is much more effective in his success by constructing a matrix of pitfalls and heuristics that highlight the differences between Beane’s team and other executives.
  • Moneyball highlights how people tend to overestimate the likelihood of success and end up facing financial loss—in this case, it meant forfeiting millions of dollars. Analyze a professional or personal decision (yours or otherwise) that highlights this predilection in spite of substantial losses.
  • Explain how you would apply Moneyball’s management lessons in your own endeavors.

Write a 3–5-page paper in Word format.

Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Interviewing

Information Interviewing (3-4 Pages)

You will complete one information interview.

The interviews can all be in the same field or a similar one, or in three distinct career fields that you are interested in. As the semester progresses, you’ll have more information and detail to incorporate into the summary report you will submit for each interview. There will be one report due for each interview. I provide the questions to answer and the information for you to research and provide, you provide the answers and your thoughtful analysis. Basically, an interview is due every 4-5 weeks in addition to other papers and the textbook assignments and other various assignments and quizzes.

Information Interview- A primer

The first written assignment is an exercise in exploring career information. You will be required to complete an information interview and file a report on your findings. This document is an explanation of information interviewing.

INFORMATION INTERVIEWING

In the job search process, the goal of interviewing is to get a job offer. In the career exploration process (which is where we are), the goal of information interviewing is based on the premise that people are a tremendous source of information. The purpose of the information interview is to gain information about a specific career field upon which to base some career decisions and to put you in touch with possible eventual job leads.

Begin with people you know (your network contacts). Choose from this group those who are in career fields to which you aspire or people in related career areas. What about people you don’t already know? Identify them through newspapers, telephone books, professional associations, directories, and alumni programs at your college.

If you have located an office name, but don’t have the name of an individual, call and speak with the secretary or receptionist. Explain politely and succinctly why you are calling (for information, not employment) and ask if you can be directed to the appropriate person. Schedule an appointment for a specific amount of time (30 minutes maximum). An alternative is to send a letter ahead of time stating what you want, indicating you will be telephoning, and asking that the secretary or receptionist be alerted to your call.

Be prepared! Take an active role to get the most from the interview. Review in your mind what you want to learn from an individual. Have questions prepared ahead of time.

Following are some sample questions you might wish to choose from:

1.) What credentials (education, degrees, licenses, etc.) are required for effectiveness in this occupation? 2.) How much variety would you say there is in the type of work you do? 3.) Is there much opportunity for travel? 4.) What types of employers hire people in your line of work? 5.) What kinds of work values (security, income, prestige, etc.) attract people to your occupation? 6.) What do you find most rewarding/least rewarding about this career field? 7.) What is the typical entry-level salary range for positions in this field? What is the potential? 8.) What is a typical career path? 9.) What is the future job outlook in this field (increased or decreased opportunity, etc.)?

For the three specific assignments in this course, the questions will be provided to you and all should be part of the process.

FOLLOW-UP

Always ask for a referral to someone else. Ask the person with whom you are speaking to refer you to others who would be good sources of information. Evaluate what you have been told critically. Are trends developing from one person to another? (In the end – you’ll have to make your own judgments about the validity of the information.) Make sure you have the correct name and title of the person with whom you’ve spoken. Write a thank you note and mail it within 24 hours of your interview.

For the assignment, report on who you interviewed, where they work, what they do. Also go into detail about what you like and dislike about the career, and whether you will pursue this occupation with more information.

Information Interview 1 – This assignment is the first of three (3) information interviews that you will have to conduct. For all three interviews, you will submit a final report to me. Your grade will be based on the content and quality of the report. A report, not a list. A well-written, thoughtful review of your experience and findings. A report.

As you conduct the interview, consider carefully what is being said and how you feel about it. If you become more interested in a career or certain aspects of it, that is an indication that you should further pursue this field.

Likewise, a negative reaction indicates that you may want to avoid this field.Your assignment is to contact someone in a career field you are interested in. This person can be a family member but their occupation should be one that is of genuine interest to you. The questions to ask of the person, and that make up the format for your report, are included with this packet of information. Once the interview is complete, you are expected to sum up the interview and your reactions in a typed paper following the format provided. This assignment is not complete until I have the written report. Do not submit your reaction sheet or notes with the interview, only your reaction paper. The reaction paper (summary report) should consist of the following information in essay form:

Section 1: Background

Describe the career the person is in and how you (A) became aware of the career itself and (B) how you established contact with the person. Included in this section should be a review of your own history- the jobs you fantasized about as a kid and recently, and the jobs you have had in the past 2-3 years or do have now. Discuss what aspects of your work experience you most like and what aspects you detest. Provide the following details:

  • The name and job title of the person you interviewed.
  • The name and general location of their place of employment.
  • The product(s) and service(s) this employer providesØ A general description of the persons’ job duties
  • What specific degrees or credentials the person has
  • What caused you to select this person and this career field

Section 2: The Interview

Discuss the kind of work that the person does- not the duties but the functions and activities, and whether or not you like it. Specifically, provide detailed answers as to why you did or didn’t like it. Essentially, you should review their answers and your reactions to the third and fourth questions of the interview. Then move on to discuss their advice and the job outlook for the field according to the person you interviewed.

Section 3: The Reaction

This part should be anecdotal information regarding how you felt the experience went and how it affected your career direction. At some point in the interview, you will realize that you are or are not interested in this work. What caused you to have that feeling? How does this career fit the vision you have for your own future? What next steps, if any, will you take in regard to this specific career?

1. Name of Person Interviewed

2. Job Title of Person Interviewed

3. Place of Employment

4. What are the job responsibilities and duties?

5. How did you get started in this kind of work. Did you have any special training or education?

6. What do you enjoy about your work? (Try to get specific details)

7. What do you dislike about your work? (Again, get specifics)

8. What can you tell me about the occupational outlook for this line of work? Will there be demand locally or nationally?

9. What skills are essential for success in this field?

10. What advice would you give someone interested in this kind of work?

Did Jim and Laura Buy a Car?

Jim and Laura Buyer visit the local car dealership because they are interested in buying a new car. The car they currently have is aging and is starting to have mechanical problems. Jim and Laura would share the new car, and use it to go back and forth to work and school. Before going to the dealership, Jim and Laura decide that they can only afford $400.00 a month in car payments.

Once at the car dealership, Jim and Laura meet Stan Salesman. Stan shows them several vehicles and Jim and Laura test-drive several of the cars. Jim and Laura particularly like the blue 4-door sedan.  Therefore, they agree to give Stan Salesman a $100.00 deposit to hold the car for a day. Stan Salesman does not give them the receipt but guarantees that the $100.00 is refundable. No documents were signed. 

The next day, Stan Salesman calls Jim and Laura to ask them when they would like to take delivery of the car. Jim and Laura, on the way home from the dealership, decided that they were not going to buy the car because they did not want to spend that money each month. Therefore, Jim and Laura tell Stan salesman that they have decided not to buy the car and request their $100.00 deposit back.

Stan insists that the $100.00 was a deposit on the car and was meant to be part of the contract to buy the car. Stan is very persistent and insistent that Jim and Laura have contracted to buy the car; therefore, the $100.00 will be applied to the purchase price of the car. Jim and Laura are shocked and angry as not only do they not want to spend the money, but now feel as though they are being duped by Stan Salesman. 

Jim and Laura have an appointment to see a lawyer in a few days, but know you are a student taking a business law class and come to you for advice. They are very frazzled, and understandably upset that they may have just purchased a car. Since you have been taking business law, you have read and understand the elements of a contract and the defenses to a contract. Therefore, although you are not a lawyer, you provide some basic advice from what you’ve learned in your business law class.

In three to five (3-5) pages, advise Jim and Laura based on the above facts as presented, the material provided in the text, and material covered in the lecture. In your paper, be sure to address the following:

  1. Define the elements of a legal contract using examples from the scenario where applicable.
  2. Decide whether or not there was a contract for the purchase of the automobile. 
  3. Identify the facts from the scenario which support your decision on whether or not a contract exists for the purchase of the automobile. 
  4. Use at least two (2) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as quality academic resources.

Benefits and Limitations of Publicly Held Firms

In the business field, most organisations are either held publicly or privately. The choice of ownership in a corporation has their advantages and disadvantages. In a situation where an organisation is held privately, this implies that majority of the funding, capital and finances largely comes from the private owners. Such an organisation is more likely to have very few investors into the business. On the other hand, when an organisation is reserved public it has a better portion of the corporation’s shares, stocks and bonds that are not found in the market. A publicly traded company is identified since its stocks are in the market where they are bought and sold to the general public who are or might be interested in making purchases stocks for the company (Cole, & Mehran, 2016).

Benefits of Publicly Held Corporations

The decision of a corporation to go public is considered one of with a number of benefits, going public means that the business will have a better chance of improving its financial conditions through the process of locating money that the company will not necessarily repaid. Such money through the sale of stock is instrumental since it provides the business with the required capital for growth and expansion.  Additionally, a stock that is sold in the financial markets is largely utilised in the company as part of finance acquisition of other organisation this implies that part of the buying made can then be paid back in terms of stock given to the creditors and shareholders.  A publicly traded company can use its company stock as a form of stock choices which can be offered to the staffs and other contractors as an expressive for of incentives and payment. The provision of stock to employee provides them with a feeling of direct ownership of the company.

A publicly held company sells its shares in the public which then provides an indisputable assessment of the company on a daily basis. Stocks are traded on a daily basis where the company can be able to tell whether its stocks are adding value or losing on a short term basis. The ability to ensure the stock prices remain constant is instrumental since it is easy to ensure value for money is achieved. Publicly owned corporations benefits since such companies increase their prestige and visibility in the market. This acts as a marketing strategy which ensures inclusive market viability for the company.  Through trading, a business publicly makes the shareholders of the business benefit from holding the shares that are all subject to restrictions making them more freely sought-after and practical as collateral when seeking loans in financial institutions such as banks.  In the financial markets, it is evident that shares that are publicly traded have the higher process compares to shares that are not publicly traded (Chincholkar, et al., 2016).

Investors who purchase shares from publicly traded corporation have the ability to diversify their investment portfolios due to increases marketability of their shares.  Managers and employees working in a publicly held company are compensated higher compared to those working in a privately owned company. Lastly, it is evident that management personnel tend to upgrade their experience, employability and knowledge by the virtue of having gained experience through serving in a more responsible high ranked executive position in a publicly held company (Cole, & Mehran, 2016).

The limitations of publicly held firms

In a situation where a corporation goes public then the management loses its freedom to made unilateral decisions without the approval of the board of governors and the approval of a common of the shareholders in any matter that pertain the company.  Moreover, the shareholders who act as the owners of the corporation tends to judge the management in relations to stock price, dividends and profits.  This may force the management to largely emphasise in short-term policies rather than long term objectives which might be riskier compared to short term investment. Additionally, the cost used during an initial public offer also called IPO is largely substantial. This is because it comes in form of underwriter’s expenses, commissions, legal and accounting fees, registration and printing cost. Sometimes the cost involved during IPOs is huge and costly, making it uneconomical for an organization to carry it out (Chincholkar, et al., 2016).

Among the requirements for an organization to become publicly held, it is required to reveal sensitive information on its ongoing basis. The information released includes; financial results, business strategies and executive salaries and their compensation arrangements.  Such sensitive information may be used by the competitors in the market as a tool of winning and gaining the competitive advantage. Business and corporations should ensure sensitive financial information is kept secretive for it to ensure it has a competitive advantage within the market. Companies that are publicly traded are mandatory to have their financial statements fully audited on a systematic basis. The auditing process is involving and also costly as organizations are required to pay for the services delivered. Due to the legal requirements, public companies are characterized by continuous costs for intermittent reports and other substitution statements that are all filed with the supervisory agencies which are then disseminated to the company shareholders and stockholders (Chincholkar, et al., 2016). This implies that a large substantial portion of management time that could have been used in other progressive activities is used in the early and the on-going periodic reporting desires of the regulatory activities as opposed to the supervision of the company’s business procedures (Cole, & Mehran, 2016).

Publicly held corporations are required to have always updated and upgraded accounting and management information system which is then sent to the shareholders. This makes the management ability to market their shares to have partial constraints through the prevention of insider trading classification of their shares and prohibition on short sales on the shares as restricted securities.  Taking an organization into public trade makes the management of the company to lose control and decision-making powers. This largely happens when a group of investors or dissident investor and then obtain the majority control which may lead to a hostile takeover making the company lose all its ownership (Vigneron, & Mard, 2016).
