Instructions
Identify and select a multinational or international company (MNC), which has operations in at least three countries. You may use the same organization you chose for the assignment in Week 1. (Samsung)
In a paper, develop an effective organizational team model for the selected MNC. In developing the model, consider successful and failed teamwork from any industry you have studied or find relevant in which your selected organization may operate. Your chosen organization will employ different teaming concepts based on the industry and the organizational structure and include information on working with a virtual team.
Next, compare and discuss the team members’ characteristics, needs, and issues for each of the stages of your developed team model. Identify any managerial tools you used in developing your model to provide recommendations for future team building.  Include in this model, your communication plan.  This can be in the form of a matrix.  This will require you to identify who needs communication, what needs to be communicated, how, and how often.

Watch the video: Tokyo Olympics Cost
Step 2: Review the Final Assessment Guide
Review the attached “Final Assessment Outline” carefully to understand the requirements and structure of your submission.
Step 3: Answer Questions on NPV and IRR
How should a company use NPV and IRR to decide whether a project should be undertaken?
NPV (Net Present Value): If NPV is positive, the project is expected to add value to the company and should be considered. If NPV is negative, the project is expected to reduce value and should be rejected.
IRR (Internal Rate of Return): If IRR exceeds the required rate of return or cost of capital, the project should be undertaken. If IRR is less than the required rate of return, the project should be rejected.
Calculate NPV for Trim Corp’s project with reversed cash flows
Original cash flows: $350 (Year 1), $250 (Year 2), $150 (Year 3)
Reversed cash flows: $150 (Year 1), $250 (Year 2), $350 (Year 3)
Discount rate: 25%
Calculate NPV for both scenarios using the formula:
NPV

NPV=∑((1+r)tCash flow​)
Step 4: Analyze the Tokyo Olympics Cost
Estimate the NPV and IRR for hosting the Olympic Games
Create an Excel spreadsheet to input the costs and revenues associated with hosting the Olympics.
Use the NPV and IRR formulas to estimate the financial impact.
Impact of COVID-19 on NPV profile
Adjust the Excel spreadsheet to include additional costs and delays caused by the pandemic.
Create a new NPV profile reflecting these changes.

Literature Review Assignment
Instructions (2 Part Assignment; Outline Due June 9th, Literature Review Due June 28th)
Literature
Review: Outline Assignment  (DUE JUNE 9th)
Overview
A critical skill
at the doctoral level is the ability to conduct scholarly research guided by
clearly articulated research questions
that address a specific issue or problem.
For this literature review, your research
will be guided by the following three Research
Questions:
1.     
How
do individual and group decision processes aid or impede business decision making?
2.     
What
are the latest developments in the process of strategy development and
execution?
3.     
How
can my academic discipline (see note below), as a function within
the organization, influence the process of business strategy development and
execution?
The first two questions are explored from a broad business perspective, while the third question gives you
the opportunity to change your frame of reference to your specific
cognate in the
Doctoral Program.
Note: The third
research question deals with your Cognate (Information Systems) as a function
that is performed in a business. This is not exploring your degree program, the
courses you have taken, or higher education in any way. You will replace the
words ‘my academic discipline’ in Research Question 3 with your actual academic
discipline. Examples of academic disciplines include Finance,
Marketing, Accounting, Information Systems, International Business Management.
The purpose of
this research project is for you to create a scholarly piece of graduate level
research and writing which conforms to current APA format.
For this initial
assignment, you will be developing the outline for your literature review. Use
the Research Questions as provided in the instructions above. Your outline will
include a minimum of one level of indentation below each Research Question with
not less than two sub‐headings not
including the Summary. Following each
sub-heading you will provide a one to two sentence description of what you will
cover in that section of the literature review. Do not provide any narrative
beyond what is being requested and be sure to include citations for any factual
assertions you make in your descriptions. The sources documents for all
citations provided must be included in the Reference section. Your headings must be descriptive to allow a reader to understand
what is included each section and subsection. You can include more than two
subheadings for each Research Question and additional levels of indentation if
required for your discussion. In the final module you will be submitting your
completed literature review.
Use the format
below:
Introduction
Level 1 ‐ RQ1
Level
2 ‐ Sub heading 1
Level 2 – Sub heading 2
Summary
Level 1 – RQ2
Level 2 ‐ Sub heading 1
Level 2 – Sub heading 2

Literature
Review: Final Assignment (DUE JUNE 28th)
Overview
A critical skill
at the doctoral level is the ability to conduct scholarly research guided by
clearly articulated research questions
that address a specific issue or problem.
It is important that you include and address the research questions provided. Changing
the research question changes the focus of the study, and the resulting
document will not meet the requirements for the literature review. For this literature review,
your research will be guided by the following three research questions:
1.     
How
do individual and group decision processes aid or impede business decision making?
2.     
What
are the latest developments in the process of strategy development and
execution?
3.     
How
can my academic discipline (see note below), as a function within
the organization, influence the process of business strategy development and
execution?
The first two questions are explored from a broad business perspective, while the third question gives you
the opportunity to change your frame of reference to your specific
cognate in the
Doctoral Program.
Note: The third
research question deals with your Cognate (Information Systems) as a function
that is performed in a business. This is not exploring your degree program, the
courses you have taken, or higher education in any way. You will replace the
words ‘my academic discipline’ in Research Question 3 with your actual academic
discipline from your program. Examples of academic disciplines include Finance,
Marketing, Accounting, Information Systems, International Business Management.
What are we looking for in this literature
review?
A literature
review discusses published information in a particular subject area and
sometimes information in a particular subject area within a certain time
period. This literature review will be more than just a simple summary of
information from various sources as it will include an organizational pattern
that combines both a summary and synthesis of information. Please keep in mind
that a summary is a re‐encapsulation of the important information found in the
source, while a synthesis is a re‐organization and combining of that information to present a more complete
picture. Finally, the literature review will evaluate the sources and
advise the reader of the most pertinent or relevant points.
How will this
literature review be evaluated?
Your work will be
evaluated in the areas listed below. Be sure to review the grading rubric to
ensure that you have addressed all areas that will be evaluated. If you are
uncertain or have questions reach out to your professor right away for
clarification.

Important note
regarding required page count: Assignments must meet the minimum page
count indicated in the instructions. Documents that are short of the required page
count as well as documents that address a different subject matter than
assigned in the instructions by altering the research questions will have the
Content area scores reduced as described below.
For documents that
fail to meet the content word/page count called for in the instructions, the
professor will multiply the score in each Content area by the percentage actualy
provided. Example:
·        
The
instructions call for 10 pages of content and the student provides 5 pages of
content.
·        
Content
score for Academic Level of Information is determined to be 16 out of 20.
·        
That
Content score is multiplied by 0.5 for a final Content score of 8 out of 20 for
Academic Level of Information. This is done for each Content area in the
rubric.
·        
The
professor will provide an explanation in the Comments section of the rubric.
Are there differences between plagiarism,
paraphrasing, and quoting?
Paraphrasing is
when you take a source or someone else’s idea and say it in your own words or
even combine the ideas of several
authors as well as your own. When you paraphrase, you will still give the author credit through the use of an in‐text
citation connected to the idea as well as a reference at the
end of the paper.
A direct quote from a source has quotation marks
around the quote. If 40 words or more in
length, it must be set in block quotation format.
You can refer to the APA guide
for more information on this.
At the graduate level, you should be relying almost exclusively on the use of paraphrasing to
allow synthesis of the original author’s views with your own. A direct
quotation should only be used in this literature review (or most other
documents you will produce) when paraphrasing would change the author’s
intended meaning. In other words, you should only use a quotation when it is
the only way to convey what the author intended to convey.
Plagiarism on the
other hand exists when the writer simply copies the words directly from the
source without giving credit with an in‐text citation and a reference.
Plagiarism is not permitted and the paper will not be accepted for grading.

To what extent is the adoption of sustainable packaging practices by firms related to their cost and sells, and to what extent this adoption depends on packaging regulations?  This research question should be the base for the writing. If there are unclear variables, it would be nice to change them. But they Should be in the same topic.

Respond to activities 2-14, 2-22, and 2-24
For activity 2-22, you do not need to post to a blog or email the instructor; you only need to analyze, summarize, and respond to the questions in the activity
If you do not receive any commercial mail at home or at work during the week, you may use a commercial email designed to sell you a product or service
The questions are attached in screenshots.

The report requirements are as follows: (a) exact same requirements for the report as specified in the syllabus for the Group Report Strategic Audit, but you need to write this report entirely by yourself. (b) The firm to research is Axon (https://www.axon.com/company). Note: Do not plan on using existing Porter’s 5 forces analysis available on the Internet (such as http://fernfortuniversity.com/term-papers/porter5/analysis/2190-axon-enterprise–inc-.php) for your analysis, because they are incorrect. You will need to do lots of original research and writing
Each group should apply a selection of the tools/concepts/frameworks (hereafter simply “frameworks”) learned in lectures 1-12 to analyze the competitiveness and strategies of their chosen firm. This analysis should be included in a report that is divided into several main sections:
Overview: Provide a brief introduction to the chosen firm and market context selected (e.g., country and time of registration, and brief overview of operations).
Competitive Landscape: Analyze the competitive landscape internal and external to the firm in the chosen market. What factors most significantly influence the firm’s competitiveness in the general external environment, at the industry-level, and within the firm? How has the firm recently performed compared to its main competitors? This analysis should be based on an application of Porter’s 5 Forces and at least two other fundamental frameworks learned in the course for analyzing the competitive landscape. Not all frameworks need to be used and choice of frameworks is left up to each group. Substantive usage of the frameworks is required, meaning that the frameworks are not just mentioned in passing but are applied in detail with information specific to the chosen firm and market context. The analysis should draw on some quantitative and qualitative data. Original data collection and presentation is required.
Strategy Formulation: Identify and explain the chosen firm’s main (a) business-level and (b) corporate-level strategies, and at least some (c) functional strategies, in the chosen market. What are these strategies? Why might they have been adopted instead of alternative strategies? Do the strategies seem to be contributing to competitive advantages and, if so, how? The analysis here should be based on application of several of the fundamental frameworks learned for formulating strategy. Of course, not all frameworks need to be used and choice of frameworks is left up to each group. Such analytical frameworks must be substantively used, meaning that they are not just mentioned in passing but are applied in detail with information specific to the chosen firm and market context.
Recommendations: Include a section at the end of the report with a few bullet-pointed recommendations for the firm. What major steps should the firm take to ensure that its strategies continue to, or better enable it to, achieve competitive advantages? Include at least broad timeframes for implementing the strategies. Also, briefly explain the challenges that the firm might encounter when implementing the strategies and how these might be overcome.
The main body of the report should be at least 4,000 words, although longer is also acceptable. Lecture notes, class readings, and additional research conducted by the students should be drawn upon. References should be provided and do not count towards the word target. References should be listed at the end of the report; there is no strict style required for these references, although corresponding in-text parenthetical citations of some sort are recommended.
