Management In A Dynamic Envirnment Discussion 2

4 references apa format–800 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

You spent the last week reflecting on both your appreciation of Deborah’s praise and the success of the organization, and then had a long weekend with your family. As you walk in to work on Monday, all you can think about is how excited you are about the future of the company. 

You sit down at your desk and get started on your newest marketing proposal for Deborah when there is a knock at your door. When you call for the person to come in, Anna, the financial analyst, enters.  

“Good morning,” she says. You are surprised to see that she looks nervous because Anna usually has a smile on her face. 

“Hi, Anna. Is everything okay?” you ask. 

“Well,” Anna begins, “I just finished our quarterly report. Our profit margins have dropped by 2% this quarter.”

After Anna leaves to send her report to Deborah, you start to wonder how you and your team can help fix this. Is a global strategy the answer, or should the company continue to focus on the domestic market?

You call a team meeting to learn about the progress of their research. 

Tiffany, one of your team members, begins the discussion. “I think we need to look at some of the internal factors,” she says. “We know what our capabilities are on the domestic front, but what about in the global market? We have a fairly strong market presence here in higher-end markets, but how does that translate globally?”

“Well, I think we need to identify a benchmark to give us some more information to make a better decision,” you explain. Answer the following:

 

  • What is your benchmark?  
  • Did it benefit from global expansion? If so, how? If not, why?   
  • Did this benefit or hinder the benchmark's domestic market share? Explain.  
  • Were there risks associated with the globalization?  
  • How were these risks minimized?

write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas. The time value of money concept is one of the 3 major principles of the study and practice of financial management. It is used to evaluate potential investments, determine a rate of return on a project, calculate the required payments on a loan or annuity, and estimate a future value of funds currently invested and the present value of funds to be received at some future date. It is imperative that managers at all levels of business have a working knowledge of this topic. In your first task, you have been asked to engage your colleagues in a detailed and documented discussion about the time value of money concept: what it is, why it is important, how it is used, and generally, how the applications to single and periodic payments are computed using various calculation methods and formulas. In your initial post, identify and recommend at least 1 credible Web site that an investor can visit to find the current market value of market indexes such as the Dow Industrial Averages, and address at least 3 of the following: 

 

• What is the discounted cash flow concept, and why is it essential for financial managers to understand and employ this important concept?

 

  • What are the methods associated with evaluating single or periodic payments, and what is at least 1 application of each? 

 

• Discuss the different methods that can be used to calculate these amounts, and explain how at least 1 of these models can be used. 

 

 • How can the time value of money models or formulas be used to determine the rate of return for an investment or the time it will take for a current sum to grow to a desired future amount? 

 

 • Discuss the "Rule of 72" and how it can be used to estimate how long it takes for money to double at various rates of return. 

 

Identify and recommend at least 1 credible Web site that an investor can visit to find the current market value of market indexes such as the Dow Industrial Averages.
