You must pick two questions for the first post.

1. If you were describing the Iberian Peninsula to potential travelers, what would you say in detailing its resources, climate, what to do while there and what regions to focus on visiting? What natural resources or cultural particulars would you recommend to them?

2. Describe Greece’s agriculture and what is so special about the Levant? Be detailed. Why is the Levant so important to the culture of Greece?

3. How does religion impact Greece and describe each religion that is represented in this country?

4. The Iberian Peninsula is surrounded by water. What influence does this have on each country that makes up the Iberian Peninsula? What are the main crops, stock, and other benefits from being so close to the ocean?

Case 10 – Recall the efforts to recruit investors

Case 10

Lesson 10 Case Write-Up:

· Recall the efforts to recruit investors to Theranos. To what extent did investors KNOW about the value of the Edison compared to the extent to which there was UNCERTAINTY about what the Edison could actually do. How do you see Holmes and others in Theranos trying to signal the value of the Edison to investors? Did they provide hard facts or abstract signals or symbols?

· Recall the high-profile officials that Holmes was able to recruit to the Theranos Board of Directors. Who were they, and if possible, provide an order in which they joined (if an order isn’t possible, at least indicate who the first couple of Board members were). In social capital terms, what role do you think these early, high profile Board members played? Did they contribute to the information available to Theranos for designing the Edison? Did they lend their reputations (e.g. like a strategic partner)? Something else?

 

For Lesson 10, the documentary film assigned as the case is available for rent on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiURg7mANJA

Throughout this course you will work towards creating a financial plan for a company as if you were its business manager. This week you will start your research that will be used in the Summative Assessments in Weeks 2, 4, and 6. You will not be able to change your company after this week.

Select a Fortune 500 company.

Research financial information and key performance indicators (KPIs) for the company. You may find this information on Yahoo! Finance®, in the University of Phoenix Library Finance Resources, or in other finance resources online. If you are unfamiliar with using Yahoo! Finance, the Yahoo! Finance Navigation Guide provides helpful information on finding some of the KPIs for your company.

Your financial plan will need to include KPIs for your company. Create a 1- to 2-page outline or chart identifying KPIs and including the following:

  • The company and its ticker symbol
  • Cash flow from operations
  • Price-to-earnings ratio
  • Stock dividends and the yield, if any
  • Earnings per share ratio
  • Revenue estimates for the next 12 months
  • Revenue from the previous 3 years
  • Statement of cash flows and identification of net cash from operating, investing, and financing activities over the past 3 years
  • Average trade volume.
  • Current stock price, 52-week high, and 1-year estimated stock price
  • Analysts’ recommendations for the stock (buy, sell, or hold)
  • Market cap for the company
  • You will use information from your research in your Week 2 Summative Assessment.

    Submit your outline .

  • Note Please:

 Writing Standards – Please follow all APA formatting requirements, in-text referencing requirements, and referencing for all work – induing discussion questions, participation, presentations, etc. Support all assertions. The UOPX APA Sample Writing Paper is an excellent resource.
