The Top 20 S&P 500 Companies Buying Back Stock in 2017

a) What was the market value of your assigned company as of end-year 2016? (my selected company name is PFIZER INC). (150-200 words)
b) After noting the amount of stock buyback in Q1 2017 – make a determination as to the change in market value of your assigned firm as of 12/1/2017 – and then make a list of all the value added / value lost actions (from a shareholder’s perspective) other than the share buyback. Essentially you are reporting to me whether, in your opinion, the stock buyback increased shareholder wealth (the s/h that still remain, not the ones that took the buyback offer!). (350-400 words)

Online shopping has increased dramatically over the past few years, and  online retailing becomes the top priority of all major grocery  retailers. On one hand, retailers see the needs to offer easy and  convenient shopping venues to attract and keep customers. On the other  hand, the consumers take advantage of the extended product assortments  and services offered by both online and traditional retailers. More and  more traditional brick-and-mortar retailers such as Best Buy, Walmart,  Costco, and Macy’s are becoming brick and click stores. Multichannel  retailing is popular way to sell products and services nowadays. The  marketing managers need to find ways to effectively and efficiently  manage various distribution channels and deliver products and service  through both online and offline channels. In this case, we focus on  Macy’s brick-and-click channel-management issues. 

 

Review the followings articles related to brick and click shopping  and multichannel retailing (Use the university online library search  engine and additional library resources on TLC Portal to find the  articles):

Develop a report in terms of the following guidelines based on the  articles listed above and other supplemental articles. At least two  additional articles should be included in the analysis. A well-written  report should have a brief introduction, headings or subheadings, and a  brief concluding comment. Note that you should use some keywords as  headings or subheadings such as "Facts Recap," instead of a sentence or a  question.

Briefly review the facts on the brick and click retailing and multichannel shopping, as reported in the articles.
Describe how Macy’s performed in online channel? How Macy’s could  do a better job to manage the online and offline channels? Consider  appropriate distribution concepts to support your arguments.
Considering the changing consumer shopping behaviors and new  technology trends, how would you recommend Macy's compete with Amazon  and other retailers in the future?

The SEC website is at sec.gov.   Go to the website and look around at  it.   Keep in mind the things you have learned about the primary  mission of a regulatory agency.   Then, go to the Enforcement tab, and  then select litigation releases.  

I want you to read through 1 or 2 of them, and then summarize the  story you read into 1 or 2 paragraphs.   List the primary players, where  they are from, what the SEC said they did, and any other relevant  facts.   Make a note of what the SEC is asking in the action they are  taking against the person.  

Then, look at the actual legal action filing the SEC has done.  See  if you can glean any other additional facts and add them into your  story.   

End your assignment by telling the class whether you think based on  what you have read the SEC action is fair or unfair and why.   Tell me  how you think the person being charged reached the point where they may  have done what the SEC says they did, and whether you think they would  say they are not guilty of anything.   Note if you think they started  out their scheme or plan intending to break the law or not.

Essay #3

 

Write an essay in response to one question from each block (that’s a total of two).  Your total essay should be around 4-6 pages (if you go over, then that’s no problem).  Your paper should be in typical academic format (12 pt. font, Times New Roman, etc.).  Most prompts require you to restate someone’s argument and argue for your own position on some issue.  MAKE SURE TO ARGUE FOR YOUR POSITION!!!  If you only summarize a work or describe someone’s views, this will not count as a sufficient answer to the prompt.  You must give arguments and defend your position with your own.  I neither expect nor require full-proof, knock-down arguments here, but I do expect and require for you to give the best argument you can.  If you do not argue (at all), your grade will suffer greatly.

 

 

Block A:

 

1. Augustine has been described as a Platonist. Unsurprisingly, a Platonist is a person that accepts many of Plato’s key philosophical positions, claims, and/or arguments. What do you think about this description: is it (more or less) correct or incorrect? In arguing for your answer here, make sure to show what important Platonic doctrines Augustine does or does not accept as well as ways that he may “tweak” or “modify “those doctrines. This is NOT a compare/contrast essay. Rather, pick important, specific Platonic claims/theories that we have discussed and show how they do or do not factor into important Augustinian claims/theories.

 

2. In Book III, Augustine discusses a few objections to his original use of free choice of the will as a defense against the problem of evil. That is, Augustine, earlier in the text, claims that evil isn’t a problem for God due to us having free will. But, Evodius raises a few points in Book III that, if sound call that (earlier) response/defense into question. So, here’s the series of questions: (1) what are these possible objections, (2) how do they call the earlier claims into question, (3) how does Augustine respond to the stuff in (1), and (4) critically assess whether Augustine’s claims in (3) work. As always, argue for your key claims.

 

3. The problem of evil is a big issue in philosophy. First, give this problem. What exactly is the problem of evil? Make sure that you’re precise about what the problem of evil is and how exactly it is a problem. Then, give Augustine’s response to the problem. How does he argue for a solution here? Again, make sure that you don’t merely summarize his text but, instead, that you give his arguments. Finally, and unsurprisingly by now, critically assess his solution. Does it solve the problem? Does it make the problem less severe? Or does it fail to do anything about the problem at all? Make sure that you argue here. Your grade is not dependent (at all) upon what your stance on this matter is, but it is dependent upon how you argue for your stance.

 

 

Block B:

 

4. Descartes titles his work Meditations on First Philosophy. In what sense of the word “meditation” is the text a meditation (if at all)? In answering this, a make sure that you are clear and explicit about what exactly a “meditation” is? (Analyze the concept yourself: don’t merely quote a dictionary and think that suffices.) Given, this explain how Descartes’ work does or does not count as one. This work is also supposed to be about “first philosophy.” What could this mean? What is “first” about it and why does Descartes think that his method and his aims lie at the beginning of philosophy and philosophical study? Make sure that you argue for your answers to these questions.

 

5. Descartes gives two famous arguments for the existence of God in the Meditations, one in Meditation Three and one in Meditation Five. Reconstruct in your own words these arguments. Then show the role that God’s nature and existence plays in Descartes‟ overall goal in the Meditations of finding certain knowledge. Are his arguments sufficient to provide rational evidence that God exists? And does the existence of God do the work Descartes needs of it? As always, I’m looking for arguments here—mere assertion of your view will not work.

 

6. In Meditation Four, Descartes concerns himself with truth and falsity. There is one particular question that drives the main line of his argument in this chapter. He asks how error is possible. First, what is the problem involving error in the fourth Meditation? (That is, why would the question of the possibility of error even arise in the first place?) Second, how does Descartes argue for a solution to this problem? Be sure to discuss two parts here: what error is and how error is possible. And, what should come as no shock whatsoever, critically assess his solution here. As always, I’m looking to see that you understand his arguments and can give your own: I’m not looking for description, summary, or mere assertion on your part.
