Overview
As part of the contingency planning for your organization’s exit strategy, you have researched and analyzed a potential alternative buyer. As the possibility increases that the original buyer will withdraw from the deal, your VP has asked you to create a short investor pitch to help convince the alternative buyer to acquire the organization.
Prompt
Submit a PowerPoint presentation that highlights why the identified alternative buyer should be interested in buying the organization in the case scenario. Your video should include a PowerPoint presentation that uses data and visuals you have created in earlier modules to support your pitch.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Overview: Using relevant information and research completed in previous module assignments, provide a brief overview that addresses the following information (slides 1–3):
An overview of the organization; include location, size, and market position compared with other competitors in the industry.
An appropriate reason why the organization’s owners want to sell; you may consider factors such as value creation, competition, synergy, and product diversification to justify your answer. Also, consider the information you obtained from the top competitors’ analyses in previous assignments.
Important Attributes: Describe three key attributes that make the organization an attractive investment opportunity for potential buyers. (slides 4–5)
Advantages of Acquisition: Identify two specific advantages the alternative buyer will gain by acquiring the organization and provide a rationale. (slides 6–7)
Use your research and analysis from Milestone Three to identify advantages specific to the potential buyer organization.

For the Unit IV Journal, will consider Unit I-IV, including the four functions of management (planning, leading, organizing, and control), and core managerial concepts we have covered in each unit.
The Task: State your selected management position and the name company name you chose in the Unit I Discussion Board. Your organization is acquiring a smaller, similar company that provides the same service and/or product. The President of XYZ Company has provided you with the details of the purchase, and you are the manager assigned with the responsible to orchestrate, lead, manage, and communicate this critical change throughout the entire organization. Planning must begin immediately. Create a plan of action, managing the change. Consider your position, your power, your control, and the challenges of managing. Include what you have learned from the past four units and your own knowledge and managerial experience.
Your Unit IV Journal should be a minimum of two pages in length. You are required to use at least one outside source. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment.
Resources

The research paper should be on a macroeconomic subject of your own choosing.  In most cases, you should find your subject in current events, but in rare cases, you may want to write about a theoretical or historical subject. I will be more interested in your argument and your analysis than in how many facts you have.  Your paper should have both of these features:
It should contain an argument. For example, it is not enough just to describe pollution in the Hudson River. You should make an argument about why firms pollute the Hudson River, or about what the government should do to clean up the pollution, or about why the government should not take action to clean up the pollution, etc. When you are developing your argument, think of your reader as a person who will listen to reason, but who needs very good reasons in order to be persuaded, since s/he is inclined to disagree with you. If you think, for example, that the government should tax polluting emissions, imagine your reader to be someone who rather thinks the government should not tax: s/he will need to hear very good arguments from you, if s/he is to change her mind.
It should use some economic concepts, something you have learned in this class. This does not mean that you have to use graphs or algebra—although you may if you want.  Rather it means that you need to show that economic ideas can be useful in thinking about real-world problems.
Paper Guidelines
You must clear your paper topic with me first. Just send me an email with your idea.
The paper should be 4 – 6 pages typed with a 12 point font and double spaced.
Papers will be written using the APA or MLA style.  The APA or MLA has specific guidelines for documenting your information. You will collect information, put that information in your own words and then tell the reader (me) where you got that information.
Go to the Learning Assistance Center, upstairs in the library, and ask for the APA or MLA guidelines handouts. They cover the basics of proper APA or MLA documentation. You can also get then by selecting the library link from the pull down menu on the HVCC home page.
You must use at minimum 5 legitimate sources (not all web sites). Legitimate sources are professional journals, magazines, newspapers and books. All sources require an author and date of publication.
The final paper is due at the end of the 5th week of the semester. If the paper is late, a 5 point deduction will be taken off for the first day, and 2 additional points for each day thereafter.
Submit your paper in Brightspace
Issues you may want to address in an economics and SUVs paper:
What impact does the lower fuel economy of SUVs have on the economy? (Think both in terms of the price at the pump and the price in health care, environment etc).
What impact does the safety record of SUVs have on the economy?
If passed what impact will the California bill that requires cuts in the tailpipe emissions of greenhouse gases by cars and light trucks have on SUVs and the economy?

Description:
Select one of the three scenarios provided and, using the evaluation rubric, describe your approach to managing the crisis and what strategies you might use to help avoid a similar situation in the future.
Detailed Instructions:
Select one of the following scenarios
Viral Tweet: Amid the global COVID-19 pandemic, your client tweeted, to their 500,000+ followers a picture of an anti-mask rally seemingly indicating support
Music Sampling: Your client is an up-and-coming pop sensation who is being sued for sampling someone else’s music without permission
HR Problems: As the HR director for a small opera company, you’ve just been informed that your lead tenor has been engaging in inappropriate relationships with several of the younger members of the company.
Note: in the first two scenarios you are the talent manager, and your client is an individual artist. In the last scenario you are the HR Director (an employee) at the opera company; the “client” would, therefore, be the opera company. 2. Describe your approach to managing this crisis, including
The professionals you turn to for assistance
How you handle the conflict with your client, with the public, and with other involved parties (e.g., other managers, lawyers, law enforcement, brand companies).
What you’d do differently to avoid this conflict in the future
Submission
