For this assignment, you will attempt to justify the market value of a publicly-traded organization by investigating the asset value of the company. Use the models above (theoretical market value and the current market value model) to obtain an estimated value of the organizations assets. You have been requested by the public company you choose to prepare a comprehensive report that fairly evaluates the companys current market valuation for its stakeholders (i.e., the value the company would realize if sold to a new set of investors). (Note that in a public company, the shares are sold on a Securities Exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange. However, when a company is sold, the transaction is an agreement that the value of the assets is fair for both parties and is not the capitalized value of the shares on the exchange.) Be sure to carefully follow all of the instructions in each part:
- Choose a publicly-traded company that you want to analyze (different from the choice for assignments 3 and 4). It is recommended that you choose a company from an industry about which you have an interest. One way to find an annual report for a company is to search on . Reports are grouped by industries, public market exchanges on which listed and other filters. Read the companys most recent annual report. Write about three paragraphs describing the company. Discuss the companys line of business, products and/or services offered, time the company has been in operation, and main location. Discuss any other aspects of the company that you believe are particularly interesting about the company.
- Assess the company from a microeconomic point of view. Discuss the demand characteristics for the companys product or service (e.g., the companys customers, competition, etc.), the companys cost structure (e.g., degree of variable cost versus fixed costs), and the nature of the industry (highly competitive, somewhat competitive, oligopoly, or monopoly). Discuss any other microeconomic factors that you believe are relevant to the company.
- Consider the strategy for new products or services that are described in the companys annual report. Are there any aspects of the current strategy that you perceive will positively or negatively affect the companys growth (assume the strategy presented is likely achievable). Determine if the proposed strategy will alter the past growth rate of earnings as trending in past years reported.
- Create a pro forma income statement for the company in order to estimate net income for the next annual accounting period (you only have to create a proforma income statement, not a proforma balance sheet). Using the net income calculated for next year, calculate the cash flow for next year (cash flow = net income + depreciation).
- Use the CAPM (capital asset pricing model) and/or the Dividend-Growth Model (dividend per share/ stock price per share *100) + estimated growth per year of earnings (from annual report and/or from a five year estimate from an Independent Investment Research House, which is located in University Library), calculate the perceived cost of equity for the company. Evaluate the reasonableness for the growth rate of equity you develop based on the calculations and the evaluations accomplished in Parts 2 and 3 above.
- Estimate the value of the assets using both the theoretical market value model and the current market value model described above. Evaluate the differences between the two. As the chief financial officer, evaluate which of the values you have calculated more fairly estimates the true market value of the organization proposed for sale to a new set of investors.
- Based on your comprehensive evaluation of your chosen company, would you want to be the CFO of this company or not? Provide reasons for why you would or why you would not. (Note: Although you must include Part VII in what you submit for this assignment, this item will not be included in the final comprehensive report that will be given to the company.)

This case study describes how a company wanted to improve its image to its customer base. The company formed a community of practice within its employees to develop a positive image and they sought to highlight their positive impact on the community in Singapore. The company also set aside a budget for donation to nominated charities. Part of this initiative was a social media launch and campaign to highlight its support for their charities. This plan had been received very positively by its executive team, because of the projected increased brand exposure. Many employees expressed their support for the proposals for this social media release and they even proposed measures for the impact of the social media campaign along with potential market gain.
Some employees within the company had some personal reservations about this campaign, and although they were asked to provide their comments, employees were careful not to say anything as this campaign had gained widespread traction amongst the high-level executives. As a consequence, there were internal conflicts where individuals decided they had no opportunity to voice their concerns and they resigned from the company. Some employees who were not so fortunate to find other employment remained quiet, but felt they were dis-empowered and unable to voice their opinions, and felt socially isolated.
As it turned out, the company was heavily criticised on social media at the launch of the campaign. Members of the public flooded the company’s social media page with complaints about the company disrespect towards the charity and accused the company of being hypocritical in their intentions. The accusations were about the use of a charity to increase their market share. The company was accused company did not have any plan to respond and this vitriolic attack came as a surprise. The company shut down its social media page and withdrew from the campaign.
You have been engaged by the company to do a study on this failed campaign and to write a report. The purpose of this is to enable the company to learn from what occurred and for proposals to be considered to avoid this situation.
Prepare a report, to your executives, highlighting to them some of the points of view that may not have been considered in their campaign.
Your report should be 2500 words maximum, excluding references and appendices.
As a guide, you should consider these points:
- Propose a risk management framework that may be incorporated into future projects at planning stage;
- using Neohumanism as one of the two conflict based perspectives, explain the methodology for avoiding, as best as possible, individual employees from being partisan to this conflict;
- using Radical Structuralist the second conflict based perspective, explain in your report why there is a predicable negative backlash from the public against this marketing campaign;
- propose a set of questions that the project teams may ask in the future, to avoid the pressure in individuals;
- make well argued proposals, that are well grounded in literature, that would help future campaigns;
- .demonstrate your ability to research this topic through the identification of at least 10 journal articles to support your work.
The final assignment for this course consists of synthesizing the knowledge and information gained from previous assignments you have completed. It is based upon the foundation of urban and regional planning techniques, policies, and procedures.
For your Signature Assignment, you will use the knowledge and skills learned during the course to develop a draft article for publication. It is advantageous to use the same urban area you used in Weeks 5 7 so that you can build upon materials already developed. However, using the same urban area is not required.
Then, select a peer-reviewed journal in the urban planning field. In your article, be sure to include the following:
- Define urban sprawl and the impact of previous bad planning decisions, which contributed to that sprawl and describe the spillover impacts of this sprawl.
- Provide a detailed analysis of the ethical, economic, and policy dilemmas faced by planners and policymakers of the region in regulating the spillovers and sprawl.
- Predict future concerns related to economic policy dilemmas and urban planning.
Provide specific examples where applicable. Support your paper with a minimum of seven scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
Length: 6 pages.
Your journal article should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards .

Why/Why not?
Important: Your essay must incorporate a detailed discussion and analysis of the relevant arguments presented in at least two* of the assigned readings for your chosen topic. This means you should include assessments of opposing viewpoints and objections. Remember to state your own view clearly and to defend it using some of the theoretical resources (theories, principles) we have discussed in class. (*Some questions ask you to address arguments from more than two sources. In these cases you should examine all the relevant arguments in detail. Aim to use four to six sources in total. You do not need to discuss the arguments from every source in the same detail. Please use the readings from the unit reading list relevant to your topic.)
