Explain what types of financial and management goals Medi-Supply might have as the company moves forward to look for investors.

 
Although it may seem that unethical practices in the business world are more prevalent in recent years, they have existed in one way or another throughout history. The business structures or sales methods may look different from generation to generation, but there will be people who still use corrupt methods and take advantage of others, and for that reason, organizations and consumers must diligently avoid becoming a victim or perpetrator of unethical practices. In this Assignment, you will explain how a business can avoid unethical and deceptive financial reporting practices, as well as explain the company’s financial and management goals.
Medi-Supply is a small but growing company that sells medical devices to hospitals in the local area. The company wants to expand its distribution regionally and hopefully nationally with its innovative devices. They are looking for investors as well as seeking out potential banks to borrow funds for expansion. These investors require standardized financial statements and are very hesitant to get involved with any companies before ensuring their adherence to ethical business and financial practices, in order to avoid tarnishing their reputation.
The owner of Medi-Supply has hired XYZ Corporation to provide consulting services to help them sort through their financial data, build their financial statements to display to potential investors and help them ensure they are on track with their goals and are avoiding any potential risks. You have been assigned to this project by your manager, Tim Lewis. Tim asks you to compile the results of your review into a series of reports, with detailed financial statements included.
Note: This week, you will complete and submit your business report on Management Goals and Financial Ethics for Medi-Supply company. In Week 2, you will complete a set of detailed financial statements and a second business report for the company. Refer to the Week 2 Assignment area for details.

What implications does the pressure of presenting an ideal self on social media have in terms of how people use introspection, self-observation, and other people’s reactions to know themselves?

 People come to know themselves in large part by observing others’ reactions to them when engaged in face-to-face social interaction. The popularity of and reliance on social media (e.g., Facebook) for social connection interferes with the self-knowledge process. This interference is compounded, further, by the tendency for people to pose as who they wish to be but are not (Wright, White, & Obst, 2018). Others’ reactions to them as a source of self-knowledge is based, then, on an idealized presentation, and social feedback on this idealized presentation can have little self-knowledge value.

Assignment:
Submit 3–5 pages, excluding title page and reference page:

What implications does the pressure of presenting an ideal self on social media have in terms of how people use introspection, self-observation, and other people’s reactions to know themselves?
If relying on social media for social connection fails to provide useful information for developing an authentic self, then how confident might a person be when meeting new people face-to-face?
What information about how others perceive you might you need but do not get when relying on social media for social connection?
Your arguments and conclusions must be supported by social psychology theory and research.

Introduce your project with a reflection on the importance of selecting the right projects in which to invest capital. Do we always select those projects that have the highest return on investment (ROI)? Describe the relationship between risk and return and how you would measure for both in your project. What other factors play into capital budgeting decisions?

For the purpose of this assignment, a project is defined as any endeavor that had a capital outlay. Pick a project you have recently completed or one you would like to complete in the near future. This could be a project in your home, place of work, or even church or other organization with which you are familiar. Respond to the prompts below.

Introduce your project with a reflection on the importance of selecting the right projects in which to invest capital. Do we always select those projects that have the highest return on investment (ROI)?
Describe the relationship between risk and return and how you would measure for both in your project. What other factors play into capital budgeting decisions?
Explain how you would calculate the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and its components for your project.

Describe the circumstances surrounding the difficult work-related decision you had to make. In your description, include details about the options you were weighing, why the decision was difficult, et cetera.

Managers make numerous decisions on a daily basis. For some, the best choice is easy or straightforward to determine. If a machine breaks down, you either need to repair it or replace it. In an increasingly interconnected and complex world, however, the best decisions can often be unclear. Consider where you would stand on the following scenario:
A company has developed a new product for which there is a great demand. The consensus of the leadership team is that the company should capitalize on this opportunity and hike up the price to generate a 300% return on each sale. They feel that, as long as the marketplace is willing to pay for it, then there is no problem, especially since this would help solve recent discussions of layoffs due to declining sales. Only one person in the leadership team voices disapproval of this approach, saying that this is a greedy action that would rip off customers and go against the company’s values. The person feels that—despite what it would mean for the business—the product should be priced to generate a 40% return, which is an average return for the company’s products.

In this Discussion, you will examine a tough decision you have had to make in the past. You will reflect on the factors you used to make that decision and determine whether you would make the same choice if faced with the same set of circumstances again.
