Business Implementation Plan – Amazon Part 6

In (Part 6 of 6), you will submit a PowerPoint presentation with audio, which is designed to pitch your concept to potential financial backers or senior executives. Your presentation should highlight the key elements of your business concept and implementation plan that are most likely to convince your audience to support the idea moving forward. Remember that while your audience wants to know you have thoroughly researched and planned out your idea, including implementation, they do not want a verbatim or lengthy repetition of the information in the business implementation plan when you pitch the ideas in the links above. 

 

Instead, you should strategically select the information you will present and in how much detail based on your intended audience. You should bear in mind the key information they will want to know and the types of concerns they are likely to have, and anticipate the types of questions they are likely to ask. Also bear in mind that financial or managerial support for a project often has as much to do with the individuals leading the project as with the concept. Backers need to be convinced of project leaders’ and key staff’s ability to be the face and drivers of the idea, as well as of their honesty and integrity. Since you are presumably one of the key team members, how you present is just as important as what you present in building audience trust. Be sure to communicate clearly and professionally throughout.  

 

Critical Elements: 

· Highlight the key elements of your business concept and implementation plan that are most likely to convince your audience to support the idea. 

· Strategically select the information you will present and the level of detail based on your intended audience.

· Anticipate the key information the audience will want to know, the types of concerns they are likely to have, and the types of questions they are likely to ask. 

· Highlight the project leaders’ and key staff’s ability to be the face and drivers of the idea. 

· Your presentation should be clear, professional, and engaging to a diverse business audience

 

Assignment Requirements: Your PowerPoint presentation should be approximately 30 minutes (or roughly the equivalent of 25 slides) with sufficient audio to give the audience a clear, but concise, understanding of the concept and its eventual implementation. Cite your sources within the text of your slides and on a reference slide.

What is Marketing Brand Strategy 

We all know by now how important brands and brand strategies are – we better since we have been studying marketing for 10 weeks!  The video below takes the meaning of brands to a whole new level using the history of brands and some impressive statistics about the value of popular brands.  Brands go far beyond the product or the logo; they encompass how you feel about a company, your relationship with the company and your memories of your experiences with that company. 

Do you have a strong relationship with any particular brand? What is it about that brand the really draws you in? What is their brand strategy? How does their marketing mix support that relationship and perpetuate your relationship with the brand?  Try to think about this question from the perspective of someone who works in the marketing department for the company which owns the brand as well as from your own perspective (the perspective of the customer)

Chapter Six      

 

Let’s start with Chapter 6, Contingency Theory. According to our text book, “contingency theory is a leader matched theory, which means it tries to match leaders to appropriate situations. It is called contingency because it suggests that a leader’s effectiveness depends on how well the leader’s style fits the context” (Northouse, 2013, p. 123). Another description that might be easier to understand is; “Contingency theories hold that leadership effectiveness is related to the interplay of a leader's traits or behaviors and situational factors” (Seyranian, 2012, para1). Some may recall Cliff Notes, which basically provides an overview of what a book or topic was about. Similar to what Wikipedia does today, with the exception that Cliff Notes were published, whereas anyone can go online and update Wikipedia. The Cliff Note on Contingency theory is as follows; “Contingency theory proposes that for learning to take place, a stimulus must provide the subject information about the likelihood that certain events will occur” (Cliff Notes, 2013, para1).      

 

Now that we have identified what Contingency Theory stands for, let’s dive a little deeper and look at the situational variables that impact this theory.      

 

According to our text book, there are three main factors; Leader-member relations, task structure and position power (Northouse, 2013).      

 

• Leader member relations is when there is a group of followers that have emotions for their leader (Northouse, 2013).   

 

• Task structure is when there is a level of requirements of a task that are clearly provided (2013).   

 

• Position power is the level of authority a leader has to either reward or punish followers (2013).      

 

Chapter Seven      

 

Chapter 7 focused on Path-Goal Theory. This theory is really about how a leader motivates followers to accomplish goals (Northouse, 2013). For those of you that follow the term empowerment, this is a leadership style that is often found. How many of you work with leaders that truly motivate you to want to do your job or want to do it better? How many of you are excited to go to work to see what your leader will challenge you with today? This is what a Path-Goal Leader works to achieve. It is recommended that you review Table 7.1: Path Goal Theory; How it Works in the required text. This table provides a very clear outline of the behaviors of the leader, the characteristics of the subordinates and the task characteristics.      

Week 3 Discussion 2 Leadership Styles

FINC400 U4db- Cost Of Capital

write at least 500 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

  1. In the weighted average cost of capital formula, the after-tax cost of debt is used instead of the before-tax cost of debt. However, no such adjustment is made to the cost of equity. Are you surprised by this different tax handling of debt versus equity? Why or why not? 
  2. If a corporation borrowed all of the money for its project at the risk-free rate, does that mean that the project’s cost of capital is the risk-free rate? 
  3. When calculating the weighted average cost of capital, would it matter more if book values instead of market values were used for equity instead of debt? Please explain.
