INCLUDE AN ABSTRACT/APA FORMAT

5-6 page Paper

For this assignment, you should focus on the reading material for weeks 1-7 and YOU MUST READ the NORTEL CASE STUDY that is in the resources section of your classroom – It is also on page 535 of your text and in the resources tab in our classroom. If you choose, you may also research the library for additional background about Nortel (If you choose to do some additional research).

The breakdown of your paper should be as follows:

Introduction of Your Paper:

Provide an introduction of the topics that you will discuss below (Base your introduction on our reading material from weeks 1-7-It is basically all of the reading material from our class)

Body of your paper: (5-6 Pages total in length)-Your thoughts should be supported with key words from our text. You must answer all five questions below and include AT LEAST THREE key words from our text when responding to EACH QUESTION. That means that you would use 15 of the key words in our text for this paper. This will show me that you are attempting to support your thoughts with key material from our text and that you are able to apply the material from our class. The five required questions are as follows:

1. From an ethical perspective, describe the factors that contributed to the rise and fall of Nortel.

2. What mechanisms should be put in place to better align managers with the interests of shareholders?

3. Would you describe the meltdown of Nortel more as a failure of “people” or of “capital market processes”?

4. What happened to Nortel is similar to what happened to WorldCom and Enron inthe early 2000s, and to Lehman Brothers, Citigroup, and many other banks during the 2008 financial crisis. Why do businesspeople keep making the same mistake?

5. Discuss how to prioritize the following remedies to stop such recurrences: business education, regulation of accounting/financial markets, regulation of incentives, or regulation of punishment. Also, tell me your thought process about your decision about priorities.

 study by Caspi and others (1995) revealed that temperamental style in early childhood might be linked to adjustment problems during adolescence. The study involved a cohort of 1,037 children born between April 1, 1972, and March 31, 1973, in Dunedin, New Zealand.

At ages 3, 5, 7, and 9, the behavior of each child was rated in terms of 22 aspects of temperament, including emotional stability, restlessness, self-reliance, persistence, negativism, passivity, shyness, self-confidence, emotional flatness, and 13 other dimensions. To assess behavior problems in the sample, the researchers relied on outcome data from teachers and parents who rated the children at ages 9, 11, 13, and 15 on two widely used behavior problem checklists. These checklists included subscales measuring anxiety/withdrawal, which represents feelings of inferiority and failure; attention problems, which reflect difficulty in concentration skills; conduct disorder, which reflects aggressiveness and alienation; and socialized delinquency, which reflects norm-violating tendencies

For both boys and girls, lack of control at ages 3 and 5 showed a significant positive correlation with teacher and parent reports of antisocial behavior and conduct disorder at ages 9 and 11. In addition, boys and girls characterized as lacking in control in early childhood were less likely to be rated in adolescence as mature and confident.

The authors suggest several possible explanations for these intriguing results. One is that certain temperamental characteristics in young children are actually early, “subclinical” manifestations of more extreme behavior disorders. Whatever the correct explanation, the results of this extensive study suggest that early temperament may have remarkably specific predictive validity for the development of behavior problems during adolescence.

1. What type of research design is used in this study (e.g., cross-sectional, longitudinal, experimental, correlational, or naturalistic observation)? Is this design appropriate?

2. What explanation do the researchers offer for their findings? Does this explanation make sense based on the evidence?

3. Given the results of this study, why can’t the researchers draw a causal connection between behavior disorders and temperament?

4. Can you think of an alternative explanation for the results of this study?

Respond with a meaningful and thoughtful reply to at least two post made by your fellow classmates.

This may help manager to identify areas deficiency among them for further training (Kirkpatrick & Kirkpatrick, 2010). Additionally, managers should be asked to give out their opinion concerning the kind of training they would like to have in order to ensure training administered to them is relevant and effective (Kirkpatrick & Kirkpatrick, 2010). Also, it is also very vital to seat down with managers and identify areas of deficiencies among them (Author, 2012).

This can help managers to design an effective training package (Bramley & Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development, 2003). In above connection, questionnaires should be designed, piloted and administered to managers to gather information on what should be done in order to have effective meetings (Kirkpatrick & Kirkpatrick, 2010).Research indicates that, managers understand the elements of an effective meeting but they don’t practice what they were taught (Author, 2012).Therefore, managers should be encouraged to put the theory they learnt into practice so that they can become effective and efficient (Bramley & Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development, 2003). Conclusively, the identified needs for training should be evaluated by determining the extent at which the training needs have been implemented (Bramley & Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development, 2003).

Facebook is considering two proposals to overhaul its network infrastructure. They have received two bids. The first bid will require a £15 million upfront investment and will generate £2.5 million in savings for Facebook at the end of first year and its savings will grow at 3% per year for every in perpetuity. The second bid requires a £10 million upfront investment and will generate £3 million in savings each year starting at the end of first year in perpetuity. Assume that the cost of capital for this investment is 8%. What are the NPV and IRR for Facebook associated with each bid. Which bid is a better deal for Facebook? 

My solution:

a) for the first bid, NPV= – £15m + £ 2.5m/ (8%-3%)=£ 35m

IRR: NPV= 0 = – £15m + £2.5m/(IRR-3%) 

IRR= 19.67%

for the second bid NPV= – £10m + £3m/8%= £27.5m

IRR: NPV= 0 = – £10m + £3m/ IRR

IRR= 30%

b) For independent projects, both of bids with positive NPV and IRR are ok. For mutually exclusive projects, the first bid with higher NPV which is £35m, thus, the first bid is a better deal for Facebook. IRR are not suitable for compare with mutually exclusive projects. 

This is my solution, but I don’t know the answer is right or not. So please help me to check, thank u!
