Discussion Assignment Directions: There are three questions that need to be answered. There should be 5-7 sentences to each response. Any sources used should be cited well. Use PICK analysis (https://prezi.com/view/n7priNURaJU9EQQQOaan/) to create the responses. This is the textbook that can be used: https://open.lib.umn.edu/exploringbusiness/ 1. For this module, we learned about accounting, financial statements and financial ratio analysis. We learned that people both inside and outside a firm rely on this information to help them make business decisions, and that many organizations share this information with the public either because it is mandatory, or voluntarily to promote open-book management. Accordingly, in this discussion I would like each of you to access the annual report of a business of your choice. You may use a site of your choice, or http://www.annualreports.com/. In your post, share a link to the report with the class and in 2-3 paragraphs explain what you think about the financial status of the business based on the report and why, citing to the financial statements and financial ratios presented in this learning module. Make sure to use PICK Analysis in drafting your response. 2. We learned about Google and Netflix as an example of corporate culture compared with Amazon as seen in the NY TIMES article available in our Prezi presentation and attached here for your convenience: Inside Amazon - Wrestling Big Ideas in a Bruising Workplace - The New York Times.pdf. For this discussion, please share another example of corporate culture at a business today, citing any applicable resources (such as the company website) and utilizing course concepts from the text. Make sure to use PICK Analysis in drafting your response 3. Leaders and managers across industry continually grapple with closely related problems, namely tight restrictions on resources, increasing demand for effective services, low levels of public trust and increasing demand for accountability. One possible solution is performance appraisal to monitor employee performance and measure success. Using appraisal methods described in the text, provide an example of an appraisal method you have experienced. Make sure to use PICK Analysis in drafting your response. http://bit.ly/pickanalysis. Finally, as this is our last discussion, please share your “appraisal” of the class, by describing some highlights from the semester. https://prezi.com/view/n7priNURaJU9EQQQOaan/ https://open.lib.umn.edu/exploringbusiness/ http://www.annualreports.com/ https://bb-montgomerycollege.blackboard.com/bbcswebdav/pid-477607-dt-forum-rid-184235488_1/xid-184235488_1 https://bb-montgomerycollege.blackboard.com/bbcswebdav/pid-477607-dt-forum-rid-184235488_1/xid-184235488_1 http://bit.ly/pickanalysis
