Plagiarism

You are expected to write primarily in your own voice, using paraphrase, summary, and synthesis techniques when integrating information from class and outside sources. Use an author’s exact words only when the language is especially vivid, unique, or needed for technical accuracy. Failure to do so may result in charges of academic dishonesty.

Overusing an author’s exact words, such as including block quotations to meet word counts, may lead your readers to conclude that you lack appropriate comprehension of the subject matter or that you are neither an original thinker nor a skillful writer.

Self-Awareness

/in /by

Self-awareness, which is sometimes also referred to as self-knowledge or introspection. Is about understanding your own needs, desires, shortcomings, habits, and everything else that makes you tick. Simply put, it just means to be “aware” of the things that make you who you are. The more you know about yourself, the better you are at adapting to life’s changes. Essentially, the more you pay attention to your emotions and how you work. The better you’ll understand why you do the things you do, your purpose.

In the article “What Self-Awareness Really Is (and How to Cultivate it)” author Tasha Eurich states that “Even though most people believe they are self-aware, only 10-15% of the people we studied actually fit the criteria.” How would you rate your level of self-awareness? Based on the suggestions from the article, what are some ways that you can improve your self-awareness? Use content from the article to support your response.

modern financial markets

1. Comment on the following: “Some of the largest companies in the world are privately-held, for example: SC Johnson, McKinsey and Company, PetSmart, and Publix Supermarkets. The shareholders of these companies are hurt by their firm having foregone an IPO.”
2. In modern financial markets, with the tremendous amounts of information available to investors, are Venture Capitalist superfluous or unnecessary? For example, could loan officers at a commercial bank perform the same or similar function?
3. Describe a scenario where it would be desirable for an investor to hold debt with an option to convert it to common stock.
4. Consider the following: in the aftermath of the 2007/2008 global financial crisis many companies accumulated significant cash balances. Government officials, in an effort to boost economic activity, often chastised companies for this. For example, then Governor of the Bank of Canada, Mark Carney, publicly suggested that if the companies were not using the money, they should give it back to shareholders. In finance, if a company holds a large cash balance it implies the company’s shareholders have a lot of trust in their management. Why is that?

5.

An executive at ABC corp performs the following analysis:

“Our firm, ABC corp, thinks its time for an IPO. We have approached an underwriter – Big Bank – and they have agreed to assist us with this matter. A similar firm to us, CopyCat Ltd, recently did their IPO 6-months ago. Their stock is now trading at $25/share. Therefore, we should expect BigBank to pay $25/share for ours. Since our goal is to raise $25million we should float (offer) 1 million shares”.

Do you agree with the executive’s analysis?

Discussion 1

 

While related, law and ethics are not the same. The law establishes what individuals  must  do, while ethics describes what individuals  should  do. What this means is that some things viewed as immoral may in fact not be illegal, and some illegal activities may not necessarily be immoral.

For this discussion, pick one of the topics below and explain whether you think it’s immoral, and then whether you think it should be illegal. Make sure to fully explain and support your answer.

· Gambling with friends at work.

· Using marijuana at a party. Obtaining an abortion. Marketing sugary drinks to children.

 

 

 

Discussion 2

Today, there are several options for people who want to pursue a legal claim. This includes filing a lawsuit in court, but it also includes alternative forms of dispute resolution (referred to as ADR) such as mediation and arbitration. In both mediation and arbitration, the dispute is resolved outside of court, with the main difference being that mediation requires the parties to voluntarily agree to a resolution, while arbitration requires the parties to abide by the decision of a private arbitrator.

For this discussion, choose one of the disputes listed below and explain whether you think the best way to resolve it is through a lawsuit, mediation, or arbitration.

· A woman is passed over for promotion and instead the job is award to a man with less experience. She believes that this is a case of sex discrimination.

· A truck driver is hit by a motorist who ran a stop sign. And will be in the hospital for several months. And does not have any savings or disability benefits.

· A child is injured when a very popular folding high-chair collapses. And it appears that the high-chair was improperly designed and unable to reliably support the weight of the average infant.
