Answer 2 of the following

1. The Super Bowl Indicator Theory suggests that the stock market will have a positive year if the National Football Conference (NFC) team, or a team with NFC origins, wins. Conversely, if the American Football Conference (AFC) team wins, the market is expected to decline. According to recent data, this indicator has correctly predicted the markets direction in 41 of the 59 Super Bowls since the first game in 1967.

Why do such phenomena occur? Is this finding consistent with the Efficient Market Hypothesis? Please discuss.

2. A recent article from the Wall Street Journal shows that tax-exempt municipal bond funds (munis) have outperformed taxable bond funds when you compare them on an after-tax basis over the last 15 years. On average, municipal funds returned approximately 3.3% per year, while taxable bond funds returned around 1.5%. (Please refer to the article here:

Why might tax-exempt municipal bonds outperform taxable bonds on an after-tax basis, even though investors usually expect to sacrifice some yield for tax benefits? Does the historical outperformance of muni bonds suggest that bond markets are inefficient, or could there be other explanations (such as differences in credit risk, liquidity, or supply/demand)? If muni bonds have provided higher after-tax returns, should investors increase their allocation to munis? What risks or limitations should they still consider? Please discuss.

3. The WSJ article examines whether the current U.S. stock markets bull run can continue or is slowing. It notes that strong corporate earnings and favorable economic data have supported the markets rise, but those same bullish arguments are widely recognized and already priced in, raising the risk that optimism is too widespread to drive further gains. In other words, a broad consensus on the bull markets strength could limit its future upside because much of that positive outlook is already reflected in high stock valuations (please refer to

How does a strong market consensus itself become a risk factor? Can widespread optimism coexist with continued market gains, or does it structurally cap upside? How sensitive is the continuation of this bull market to future Fed policy? Would delayed or fewer-than-expected rate cuts materially alter equity valuations? Given the articles cautious tone, would you recommend staying fully invested, rotating sectors, increasing hedges, or holding more cash?

4. In 2025, Cracker Barrel Old Country Store attempted to modernize its image by unveiling a simplified logo that removed the companys iconic Old Timer figure. Intended as a minor design update for digital platforms, the change quickly provoked nationwide backlash from loyal customers and online commentators who accused the brand of abandoning its roots. The controversy, amplified by bots and social media outrage, led Cracker Barrel to revert to its old logo within days and pause broader store renovation plans. The fallout was significant: the companys market value fell nearly 40%, store traffic declined about 8%, and activist investor Sardar Biglari renewed pressure on management ahead of a key board vote (please refer to the article here:

Could Cracker Barrel have mitigated the stock decline through better investor communication or scenario planning? Should the board have approved such a significant rebranding initiative without more stakeholder testing? If you were the CFO, how would you communicate to analysts and shareholders to restore confidence? Should the company double down on modernization or pivot back to legacy positioning to stabilize cash flows? Please discuss.

5. Since taking over as CEO in late 2024, Brian Niccol has launched a broad overhaul of Starbucks operations and customer experience to reverse declining sales and revive growth. His changes range from frontline staff priorities, such as barista engagement and order-pickup efficiency, to broader strategic shifts aimed at simplifying menus, improving store ambiance, and strengthening the companys core coffeehouse identity. Niccol has emphasized that restoring the coffeehouse vibe and enhancing customer satisfaction are key parts of his turnaround plan, and he continues to focus on operational improvements and initiatives expected to sustain momentum in sales and customer loyalty (please refer to the article:

Have you noticed changes at Starbucks since last year? If you have, are these changes more visible to consumers, investors, or both? Which financial metrics best measure the success of Starbucks new strategy, and how should investments in store experience and employee engagement be reflected in valuation models? Please discuss.

6. U.S. consumer prices continued to rise at a moderate pace at the end of 2025. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased 2.7% year-over-year in December, holding steady from the prior month and remaining above the Federal Reserves 2% target. On a monthly basis, prices rose about 0.3%, with food and shelter costs contributing significantly to the increase, while energy prices were mixed. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy components, was slightly lower but also persistent. The data suggest inflationary pressures have eased compared with earlier in the year, but remain a key consideration for monetary policy and consumer purchasing power (please refer to the recent news, or

)

What is the significance of inflation holding at 2.7% year over year, and how does this compare with the Feds 2% target? What implications does this have for interest rate expectations? How might the CPI report influence the Federal Reserves policy decisions in early 2026, and what signals should financial markets monitor in upcoming data? Finally, why can inflation still feel high to consumers even when CPI data suggests moderation?

Continue the Project Schedule created in Week 4; the next step is to allocate resources to the project. Consider schedules and make any adjustments to the schedule, assuming resources may be on vacation, etc.

Assessment Description

The purpose of this assignment is for students to identify and discuss different leadership theories exemplified in business leaders. Students will also describe power bases leaders use to resolve challenges and explain behaviors that leaders should demonstrate or avoid in order to be successful. Specifically, identify one business leader you either know personally or are able to gain access to for the purpose of conducting an interview who meets the following criteria:

• The leader may be a former or current manager, educational leader, civic/business leader (including for nonprofits), coaching staff, or religious leader.
• The leader must have served in a managerial capacity for at least 3 years within an organization or department with oversight of at least 10 employees.
• The leader may refer to their current job or a previous job as long as the experience meets the criteria noted above.
• Please note that your chosen leader must first be approved by your instructor if you have not already received approval prior to starting this topic.

This interview can take place virtually over video conference (e.g., Zoom) or in person. For assistance on using Zoom for the interview, refer to the “Zoom” resources information, located in the Topic 6 Resources.

Part I: Preparing for and Conducting the Interview

In advance of the interview, be sure to read and understand the presentation guidelines below and be prepared to ask additional/follow-up questions to ensure that information adequate enough to address each point has been retrieved. For example, you would not necessarily want to ask a leader about the power base(s) they have utilized, as they may not know what you are talking about, but you will want to have enough information pertaining to how the leader handled their challenge to articulate which power base(s) you believe they used.

Before scheduling the interview with your approved leader, confirm with your interviewed leader that they will provide verbal consent during the interview for you to video or audio record the interview for ease of notetaking.

Additionally, refer the attached “Contemporary Business Leader Materials” template prior to the interview to review the skills and characteristics associated with servant leadership and the entrepreneurial mindset. Use the first three worksheet tabs of this “Contemporary Business Leader Materials” template to automatically calculate the scores your leaders receive for each concept. Note that during the interview, you will walk through these assessments with the interviewee and fill it out as you talk through the questions together. Do not give the template to the interviewee and expect them to fill it out independently.

Evidence of the Interview and Conducting the Interview

At the beginning of the interview, remember to ask your interviewed leader if they provide consent for you to video or audio record the interview for ease of notetaking that you may refer back to as you complete the remaining parts of the assignment. Students must receive permission from the interviewee to record the interview.

In addition to your own insights, note that throughout the PowerPoint slides and the speaker notes, you will need to provide cited documentation to justify any factual statements made and to support your positions. Review “Assignment Submission Guidelines,” located in the Class Resources. Remember that PDFs are not an acceptable format.

Address all of the following questions with your interviewee:

Background Information:

Address the basics with your interviewee:

• Do you confirm your previous consent for me to record this interview?
• Who are you?
• Where do you work? How long have you been there in your role?

Interview Topics:

Reflect upon either your current job or a previous one:

1. Which industry is/was representative of the organization, what is/was your role, and how long have you been or were you in that position?
2. Consider your greatest career achievement in that role. Provide details, including the time period and the persons, products, and services involved. What management principles, strategies, or processes did you employ that you believe led to this effective organizational outcome? Why do you consider this achievement to have been so impactful? Refer to “1. Part A – Servant Leadership” of the “Contemporary Business Leader Materials” template and have your interviewee tell you how they rate themselves on each characteristic that they used in realizing their greatest achievement. Please provide an example of how just one of the characteristics was used in the realization of this achievement.
3. Consider one significant challenge, preferably one with an ethical dilemma, you previously faced in that role. How did you handle it, and what was the outcome? Provide details including the time period, persons, products, services, competition, market conditions, etc. that may have been involved. Refer to “2. Part B – Servant Leadership” of the “Contemporary Business Leader Materials” template and have your interviewee tell you how they rate themselves on each characteristic that they used in overcoming their significant challenge. Please provide an example of how just one of the characteristics was used in overcoming the challenge.
4. What was the mission, vision, and strategy of the organization, and how essential is the entrepreneurial mindset in achieving the mission, vision, and strategy of the organization? Refer to “3. Part C – Entrepreneurial Mindset” of the “Contemporary Business Leader Materials” template and have your interviewee tell you how they rate themselves on each characteristic in relation to how each characteristic is used to achieve the mission, vision, and strategy of the organization, and then you will enter the numbers accordingly. Please provide an example of how just one of the characteristics was used in achieving the mission, vision, and strategy of the organization.
5. Apart from servant leadership and the entrepreneurial mindset, please identify two significant lessons/attributes that are essential for success. Describe anything you wish you would have specifically avoided that may have derailed or delayed your success?

Deliverables:

The following deliverables will need to be included in your final submission for this part of the assignment within the “Contemporary Business Leader Materials” template for these four tabs.

1. Part A – Servant Leadership
2. Part B – Servant Leadership
3. Part C – Entrepreneurial Mindset
4. Evidence of the Interview

Part II: Leadership Comparison

Note that in this part of the assignment, there is nothing separate to submit to the digital classroom. However, it is an essential part of what must be done next since, in preparation for Part III, you will conduct research to compare the leadership style used by your selected leader (interviewed in Part I) with the style of a well-known business leader from the attached “Contemporary Business Leader Materials” template in the “5. Comparison Leaders List” tab. Your selected leader should be in the same industry (e.g., technology, finance, hospitality, etc.) as the leader chosen for comparison. Investigate the strengths and weaknesses of both leadership styles. Your analysis will be presented in the “Leadership Style Comparison” and “Leadership Lessons” sections of the Part III: Presentation.

If you would like to compare your leader to a leader not provided on the “5. Comparison Leaders List” tab, the selection must first be approved by your instructor.

Part III: Presentation

Create a PowerPoint presentation of 10-12 slides (including a title slide and references slide). All content slides must include developed speaker notes in which you fully explain your ideas presented on the slides.

You will then need to navigate to Connect to create your recording. Make sure to keep the following details in mind for your submission after you review:

• Review the “GCU-420 GoReact Tutorial” resource, located in the Topic 6 Resource, covering important details about how to use the GoReact tool within Connect to create your recording with the slides showing and also with at least your face showing as you present.
• Note that points will be deducted for audio-only submissions.
• Given that you are required to have 10-12 slides, the time for the video should be about 10-12 minutes, so there will be a point deduction for going above or below that range.
• You will submit your final version of the recorded presentation within Connect for this assignment.

The first seven sections outlined below are based upon your interview above in Part I in addition to your corresponding research. Address the following in your presentation under the appropriate headings:
