Part I: IPO Presentation:

Part I: IPO Presentation:

You work for a medium sized privately held electronics firm which is considering transitioning to a publically held organization. Your boss found out that you were taking business courses at Argosy University and has asked you to prepare a presentation for upper level management to explain the process by which a privately held company would transition to publicly held company.  He has asked you to  describe the general accounting processes involved in establishing an initial public offering (IPO), including but not limited to accounting for all assets, liabilities and equities of the firm. Prepare a 15-20 slide professional MS PowerPoint presentation which covers the following:

Identify and explain the top five reasons private companies go public.
Explain information the firm is required to provide to the investor with complete transparency.
Compare and contrast the differences in accounting processes and procedures that medium sized companies such as yours go through when going public.
Discuss any concerns you believe the company should guard against while transitioning from privately held to publicly held (shareholder apprehension, fair market value, etc.) and provide solutions to each concern.

Week 5 Marketing Brief: Research Plan

Week 5 Marketing Brief: Research Plan

Develop a research plan to identify consumer perceptions and needs across competing offerings of a product.
Overview

Recall from last week’s reading that satisfying your customers involves managing their expectations. Customers who are satisfied, whose expectations have been exceeded are likely to develop a degree of loyalty to your brand. Having satisfied and loyal customers results in a wide variety of benefits to your business. This raises and interesting question, one that you will begin to answer in this week’s assignment, that is “How do you know what your potential customers’ expectations are?” The answer of course is by conducting market research.

Action Items

Write a 1 page Research plan in which you layout how you will find out what makes hotel patrons satisfied and repeat customers.
Given this research question, what kind of research framework will you use?
What kind of data will you collect? What methods will you use to collect that data?
How will you measure or analyze the data? What kind of sampling procedure will you use?
Refer to pages 100 to 105 of your textbook as a guide.
