What organizational differences, if any, do you see in the way each corporation discusses its annual performance?

Annual Report Formats
Go to AnnualReports.com and review the annual reports recently released by two corporations in the same industry. Review each report and discuss the following questions:
a. What organizational differences, if any, do you see in the way each corporation discusses its annual performance? Is the data presented clearly so that shareholders can draw conclusions about how well the company performed?
b. What goals, challenges, and plans do top managers emphasize in their discussion of results?
c. How does the format and organization of each report enhance or detract from the information being presented?
Write a two- to three-page report (excluding the title and reference pages), formatted according to APA style, that discusses your findings from the annual reports. Make sure you appropriately cite your sources from AnnualReports.com.
There are three important points to make.
• Discuss Any Organizational Differences in the Way Each Corporation Discusses its Annual Performance – This part of the assignment requires that you focus on the delivery of reporting the companies’ performance (the way each corporation discusses its annual performance) and not on the actual performance of the corporations. Please see attached Chapter 4.5, for example. You can also read attached Chapter 14.
• Discuss the Goals, Challenges, and Plans Top Managers Emphasize in Discussion of Results – This is your opportunity to demonstrate your understanding on adapting to your audience and this week’s course reading and attached Chapter 14.
• Discuss How the Format and Organization of Each Report Enhances or Detracts from the Information Presented – Chapter 4.5; use of visual design to support and enhance the message. You can also read attached Chapter 14.
FINALLY, use APA style of writing:
• Use double space, 1” margins on all sides, font size 12
• Use at least first level heading to separate the main points of your paper, which will help you write clearly and concisely and not stray off topic. Use bold and centering for first-level headings. Capitalize all major words. Do not use the prompt as a heading, shorten it, use different words, etc.
• The word conclusion is always used.
• Avoid the use of the first person (the pronouns I, we) and second person (the pronoun you). Avoid saying, “I think” or “I feel” or “in my opinion.” It weakens your argument. Simply state your assertion.

Discuss your library search strategies and briefly summarize the literature you reviewed.

Based on your specialty role option (i.e., Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Educator, Nurse Informaticist, Nurse Administrator), identify a potential problem (topic) that you would like to investigate through nursing research. Begin by reading the American Association of Colleges of Nursing’s (AACN) position statement on nursing research (http://www.aacn.nche.edu/publications/position/nursing-research).
Next explore South’s Online Library and conduct a search to locate a minimum of three nursing research articles that have addressed the problem you have identified. The literature may not be older than 5 years. After reading the literature respond to the following:

Note your role specialization and briefly describe the problem you are interested in researching and why this is of interest to you.
Discuss your library search strategies and briefly summarize the literature you reviewed. Focus your discussion on the “problem” and how the literature you identified provides evidence of the existence of the problem.
Include in your discussion a potential innovation that you might consider as a solution to the problem identified.
Include citations/references in APA style format, using citations where appropriate.
