The goal of a scholarly book review is not to summarize the content of the book, but rather to situate the historical merit of the book and to evaluate critically the author’s purpose, thesis, contentions, and methods of analysis. Hence, the bulk of your review essay should evaluate the author’s contention in light of your own knowledge and with respect to relevant material covered in class. Your review should be approximately 2,000 words in length. An essential feature of a good book review is the reviewer’s ability to write concisely so that a comprehensive evaluation of the book can be obtained in a relatively short essay. Be sure to make references to specific portions of the book to illustrate your evaluation. The challenge will be to do as much of this as possible and yet not let it interfere with the restricted length of the essay. Direct quotations can be very useful, though they should be concise and pithy. Perhaps most important, your review should state a thesis in the opening paragraph that (1) describes the author’s main argument(s) and (2) evaluates the author’s success in carrying these arguments through. Subsequent paragraphs should support your thesis. on many thousand are gone by ira berlin

Black scholes, stock and bond, European call, numeraire

Assume that we are in the Black-Scholes world where am) 2 ,uS(t)dt + oS(t)dX(t)0’3 = 5.3161: and choose the stock as the numeraire asset. (a) If the stock is the numeraire asset, what is true about the process followed by the ratio of thestock price to the bond price, 51/6}? (b) By using your answer to part (a), Ito’s lemma, and Girsanov’s theorem, determine thestochastic process followed by 5′; when S; is the numeraire. (c) Now consider a European call option, Vt. Write down the value of the option in terms of anexpectation when S; is the numeraire. ((1) Using your answers to parts (b) and (0) write V; as the sum of two integrals and solve theintegral with S in it. Was this easier than evaluating this term when fit was numeraire‘?

Please select four questions from the following list of six. 

Question 1:

Developing employees is different than training employees, though human resource functions often tend to group these activities together. Training and development are not always mutually exclusive, though they do have a different focus. Though training programs tend to be focused on improving employee performance in a current job, they may also be preparing employees for future assignments/jobs. In your own words, please describe how: 

a) employee development differs from training; 

b) how training options can be used to support employee development; and 

c) how training and development support career planning.

Question 2: 

What is the human resource manager’s role in a career development program? What is the manager’s role in a career development program? Who is primarily responsible for employees’ career success and why? What factors may be involved? What are some challenges that organizations may face in creating and implementing a career development program? 

Question 3: 

A) Explain and discuss the differences between a traditional career and a protean career. Would employee development planning be different with protean versus traditional career development? If so, how might it be different? 

B) Think about your own career path. Did it follow more of a traditional or protean process? What development opportunities helped you reach your goals? How were they helpful? 

Question 4: 

A) Mentoring and coaching are two different types of relationships used to develop employees. Discuss (compare and contrast) the roles of mentor and coach. How are they similar? How are they different? How are they relevant to the career development process? Do you believe these programs should be formal or informal and why? 

B) Discuss your experience with coaching and mentoring. How does your organization use coaching and mentoring programs? Did you (or would you) find them effective in helping you achieve your career goals? How so? 

Question 5:

A) Describe how a performance management system is different from an annual performance appraisal event. What makes it more effective? What happens when the entire process is not followed? What are some of the negative impacts of poorly conducted performance appraisals? Be detailed in your response and share few examples of what you have observed in your previous or current organizations.

B) Discuss your personal experience with performance evaluations. How were your performance goals established? Was it limited to an annual appraisal or was there ongoing feedback? How did these factors influence your performance and motivation? 

Question 6:

A) Imagine that you are preparing for your first performance feedback session with your employee. You want the session to be effective for the employee, so he/she will have the motivation and knowledge to improve performance. You also want to provide a valid, accurate evaluation of the employee’s performance. What are the steps that you would take to prepare for the session? What sources of data would you consider? 

B) Assume the role of the employee. How would you need to prepare for your performance evaluation meeting?

“”You are a marketing manager interviewing for a new job at several different firms simultaneously. You expect to be asked the same questions in each interview dealing with what you think are some good new marketing opportunities for each firm to pursue. You know that being well prepared for an interview gives you a better chance of being offered the job, so you decided to study each company where you are interviewing. Pick any 3 firms to research. Based on Internet research on these companies, write a 500–750-word research paper proposing at least 3 marketing opportunities that you would strongly suggest that each firm pursue. In your arguments, include the following: •Describe your reasoning for identifying them as worthy of pursuing. •Categorize each marketing opportunity as low-hanging fruit, home runs, or singles, and discuss why (see definitions in course materials). •Discuss the risk in pursuing each opportunity. •Without actually trying to determine each project’s ROE, which would you most strongly recommend implementing, and why? •Explain how the marketing opportunity would reflect upon the firm. Would it have a positive or negative public relations effect on the firm? Would it result in great financial improvements, or only a minor improvement?
