Competency

In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:

• Assess current performance of an organization through analysis of financial statements.

Scenario

In Project One: Applying Strategic and Operational Thinking, you prepared Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the marketing and sales departments of your product line.

Now, the CEO has provided you with a revised set of KPIs. You need to apply these KPIs toward the analysis of a proposed marketing and sales initiative to increase loyalty card memberships in neighborhoods with predominantly low-income populations, whether the populations are in rural, suburban, or city locations.

The CEO wants this analysis so that she can chart the sustainability and growth of the initiative while assuring it meets standards for Corporate Social Responsibility.

The CEO has provided you with several documents, available in the Supporting Materials section for this project. She wants you to use the provided triple bottom line balanced scorecard to assess the strategic plans compliance with the KPIs and summarize your findings in a memo.

Directions

Complete the following to provide the analysis required by the CEO:

1. Identify the financial records that indicate commitment to TBL.
   1. Outline which financial and other records maintained by marketing and sales provide data showing a commitment to TBL.
2. Using the provided TBL scorecard, evaluate the alignment of the strategic plan with KPIs. Remember, this exercise may have multiple outcomes. Your focus should be to apply your understanding of the scenario and evaluate the plan accordingly.
   1. Which ideas in the strategic plan support the KPI criteria? Cite specific ideas that meet the criteria.
   2. Explain how the ideas meet the criteria.
3. In your memo:
   1. Describe how the TBL data relates to the KPIs.
   2. Identify which additional TBL financial line items are needed to measure the cost for each criterion.
      For example, should there be a line entry for hiring temporary workers?
   3. Refer back to the SWOT analyses from Project One, and explain how functional considerations of individual departments contribute to financial performance.

What to Submit

To complete this project, you must submit the following:

KPI and Triple Bottom Line Balanced Scorecard

• Complete and submit the . In the scorecard spreadsheet, identify one additional KPI, a related SMART objective, and its measurement criterion. You need to do this for all three elements of TBL: people, planet, and profit. You have been provided with one example for each TBL element.

Analysis Memo

• In a Word document, write a memo outlining your analysis. Ensure that the memo is organized by TBL element with a header for each segment of your analysis. The Word document should use double-spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. This memo should be no more than 6 pages in length, and include references cited in APA format. Consult the for more information on citations.

Graded Discussion #1 (Week 4) – Section 1325

This Discussion Board assignment consists of two parts: an initial post by you to professor’s prompt, and a reply to another student’s post which gives an example of the concept that they selected in their initial post. Students may only submit one post and cannot edit them after posting.

It is worth a maximum of 10 points: 5 points for a properly complete initial posting; 5 points for a timely & accurate reply post to another student which gives an accurate and succinct example of the concept that other student chose.

WARNING: DO NOT USE AI OR ANY OTHER KIND OF INTERNET SEARCH IN COMPLETING THIS ASSIGNMENT. I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU, NOT FROM THESE WORKAROUNDS. ANY STUDENT WHO USES ANY OF THESE TOOLS TO ANSWER THIS DISCUSSION BOARD WILL GET A ZERO ON THIS DISCUSSION BOARD AND RISKS GETTING REPORTED TO STUDENT JUDICIAL AFFAIRS FOR VIOLATION OF SMC HONESTY POLICIES.

Permissible Resources: Our textbook; our Canvas module materials. Impermissible resources: Anything else!

**Make sure you review the before attempting this graded discussion board, as it contains actual examples of what to do and what to avoid doing. Caution: Students also may NOT choose one of the concepts or examples used there. You will not receive credit if you do so!

Your Initial Post Directions: 2 separate paragraphs.

FIRST PARAGRAPH: Repeat the initial directions, “Identify a particular legal concept or rule of law that you learned in this course so far” in bold print. Then underneath that caption, answer that part of the question. (maximum 5 points).

• The concept you choose does not have to be from this week’s chapter. Do not choose something as broad as “contract law” or “tort law”, as those are entire subjects! A specific principle or concept within one of those topics would be fine.
  
• Be sure to cite to the relevant page within our text or link to the Canvas module content where you found the concept you selected.

CAUTION: If another student has already selected the concept you wanted to raise, choose a different one in order to get any credit at all!

SECOND PARAGRAPH: Repeat the directions, “explain how that particular concept can be personally or professionally relevant to you” in bold print. Then underneath that caption, answer that part of the question. (maximum 5 points).

Your Reply Post Directions:

In the beginning of your reply, briefly state the concept or rule of law that the other student selected in bold print. (example: “Duration of Offers”).

Then, in a NEW PARAGRAPH, provide an example that illustrates the concept or rule of law picked by that student. You can use an example from your text, your module content, or create one of your own. (maximum 5 points).

• If you see another students post that did not properly comply with the initial directions, ignore that one and reply to one that did!

• Do not reply to another student’s post if they mistakenly chose the same concept you did.

• If someone else provided an example of another person’s initial post, do not add onto that reply chain unless there is no other alternative. Assuming there are other posts that have not been replied to, move on to one of those.

MBA 620 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric

Scenario

You have been asked to evaluate Company A and Company B and make your recommendation for acquiring one or both companies. Based on your initial assessment, you have created balanced scorecards for both companies. You are now ready to analyze the information you have gathered so far about the two companies so that you can compare the costs, benefits, and risks associated with acquiring each company and make a well-informed decision.

In this milestone, you will first analyze the current situation of TransGlobal Airlines using the given data and other sources to understand their business environment. You will also evaluate the performance of Company A and Company B using the balanced scorecards you created in Milestone One.

Prompt

Write a report with your performance evaluation of the three companies involved in the acquisition.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Situation Analysis of TransGlobal Airlines (parent company). Use the provided TransGlobal and to highlight the companys current business environment.
   1. Internal environment: culture, leadership, internal processes, human resources, operations, and financial performance
   2. External environment: competitive, market, regulatory, customers, suppliers, and other relevant stakeholders
2. Balanced Scorecard Analysis of Company A. Using the balanced scorecard for Company A from Milestone One, describe your analysis of Company As performance. Perform a cost-benefit-risk analysis to explain whether the benefits justify the costs of acquisition.
   1. Opportunity cost: What will it cost to move forward with this opportunity?
   2. Risk: Identify and explain the magnitude (low, medium, or high) of the risks this acquisition poses to the parent company related to its market, financial, cultural, and operational environments.
3. Balanced Scorecard Analysis of Company B. Using the balanced scorecard for Company B from Milestone One, describe your analysis of Company Bs performance. Perform a cost-benefit-risk analysis to explain whether the benefits justify the costs of acquisition.
   1. Opportunity cost: What will it cost to move forward with this opportunity?
   2. Risk: Identify and explain the magnitude (low, medium, or high) of the risks this acquisition poses to the parent company related to its market, financial, cultural, and operational environments.
