Assignment: Annotated Bibliography (PowerPoint)
Develop the Annotated Bibliography that you will use for the Final Week 6 Assignment. An annotated bibliography lists each article in APA format. It then identifies the information in the article relevant to your Week 6 Assignment. It summarizes that information, and it identifies how you will use the information. The instructions summarized below identify the information to cover for each type of article needed for the week 6 Assignment.
Two Leadership Articles: Find one article on each of two contemporary leadership models, relevant to ethical leadership from the following list of leadership models that demonstrate what you value. Reflect what leadership model would work in your environment: authentic leadership, ethical leadership, spiritual leadership, spirituality and leadership, servant leadership, and social intelligence. Select the articles from those published in the past five years.
For each article, first describe the leadership model in a paragraph or two. Second, for each model provide at least one argument as to why they reflect what you value and why they will work in your environment.
Two Articles on Decision-Making Frameworks: Select two articles from the course readings, or research you decide to do, that provide decision-making frameworks and considerations when making right versus right, and right versus wrong decisions.
For each article, first describe the decision-making framework in a paragraph or two. Second, for each model provide at least one argument as to why they reflect what you value and why they will work in your environment.
Two Articles on Morals and Values: Select two articles from the course readings, or research you decide to do, that identify some of the values and morals you consider important when making right versus right, and right versus wrong decisions. For each article, summarize the values and morals identified and why they are important to you.
You will cover each article in 1-2 PowerPoint slides. Be sure to include an introductory and a reference slide. Your presentation should be 8-14 slides.
In the library you can find an example of an annotated bibliography by downloading the following article.
Jonsen, A. R., Cassel, C., Lo, B., & Perkins, H. S. (1980). The Ethics of Medicine: An Annotated Bibliography of Recent Literature. Annals Of Internal Medicine, 92(1), 136.
You will be producing a PPT presentation that uses this technique. Note how the example provides a reference to an article in APA format and then describes its main points.
Each PowerPoint slide that addresses an article should have not more than 5-6 bullet points on it. Choose ONLY scholarly articles. No blogs or non-scholarly contributions are allowed.
Tim’s Coffee Shoppe to be successful (assignment)
Tim’s Coffee Shoppe to be successful (assignment)
Below is Tim’s Coffee Shop Income Statement for the year for 2008. This is the most recent record Tim has. This year, several large businesses are moving in around his coffee shop and he expects business to increase. Tim needs to create a pro forma profit and loss (income) statement for this year.
Income Earned............................... $400,527
Expenses:
Salaries Expenses.............................$101,600
Rent Expense..................................$14,400
Depreciation Expense........................$12,116
Supplies Expense..............................$135,827
Lease Expense.................................$11,987
Tax Expense................................... $40,515
Interest Expense.............................. $615
Insurance Expense.............................$8,956
Total Expenses --------------------------------$326,016
Net Income ------------------------------------$74,511
====================================================================
I need to know if in each area in the pro forma income statement will increase, decrease or stay the same due to large businesses moving into the neighboring buildings into his area and explain the rationale why that line item will increase, decrease or stay the same. Tim serves coffee to many people who work in the area, so he would certainly expect a major increase in his business volume.
This is not looking for dollar figures, primarily your justification on why the line items will change and what direction they will change, if any. You may make assumptions based on the increased sales volume and how it will affect income and expenses, if/when you do make these assumptions, please describe them and their affects on each line item. These are the line items:
Income Earned
Expenses include:
Salaries
Rent
Depreciation
Supplies
Lease (on your refrigerator)
Tax
Interest (on loans currently held)
Insurance
Given what you have assumed and projected, will the total expenses increase or decrease? Why?
Given what you have assumed and projected, will the net profit increase or decrease? Why?
part 2
In order for Tim’s Coffee Shoppe to be successful, Tim will have to be sure he has a consistent and
reliable supply of coffee beans.
Research coffee bean producing countries on the Internet, and choose one country along with a
grower that would have the greatest supplier potential to import beans for domestic sales with your
distribution firm.
Choose a country and a grower for your supplier of coffee beans that you (as distributor) can
then sell.
? What are the economic advantages of dealing with a vendor from this country?
o Does the country have environmental laws that align with those of our country?
o What are they?
o Will there be a marketing advantage by divulging the source of the coffee beans?
o Why or why not?
o Will sourcing the beans from the supplier you choose affect Tim’s bottom-line or not?
Discuss your reasoning.
