Do current investing services meet women’s specific financial needs?

Master Thesis. Research Question: How can digital banking services be designed to increase the participation of women in retail investing? Subquestions 1) Do current investing services meet women’s specific financial needs? 1.1 Women’s specific financial needs 2) Are there any alternatives to the way these services are designed that would make women more interested in investing? 3) Should banks play a more active role in increasing women’s participation? 3.1)Behavioural economics: Can we nudge women into investing? I will do the interviews and gather all the data needed. I need someone to write the literature review part (conducting all the necessary research) on: -Service design theories, -Behavioural economics: nudges and digital nudges and using nudges to help reduce inequalities between genders -The need for addressing women-specific needs through the design process, i.e. how design processes might inadvertently have adverse consequences on women when designers do not take into account women-specific needs from the very beginning, (This specifically related to the digital design of processes and services). Please note this thesis is highly influenced by the book Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez). – Investment: definition of a portfolio, passive investors, active investors, and more specifically, retail investing (a bit of history on retail investing and current service -focus on digital- offerings would be nice). -Finally, I will need up to date (unless you can prove it is still relevant, please don’t use references from 1970-2000 papers) theories on why women do not invest as much as men and what has been proposed to address this particular issue (research on all types of investment services is ok, but please, focus mostly on retail investing). VERY IMPORTANT Please frame the literature review to fit any of the following learning objectives (you can add any literature related to the learning objectives below-mentioned to the literature review section if you feel it would help you make the connection between the literature topics above-mentioned and the learning objectives): -Distinguish between different views on the market-customer-technology relationships and the implications for company strategies and management of innovation activities. -Be able to analyze and design different processes, their managerial challenges and strategic issues -Discuss the role of capital markets, the efficiency of capital markets, and theories about investor behaviour If I like what has been delivered, I will also hire the writer for other sections of the thesis. As extra information, the methodology will follow the Double Diamond Design Process from the UK Desing Council As a side note, since I do not know who is the writer behind this service, I feel I have to let you know I have read a lot on these topics, is just I do not have the willingness to put them into writing. If you feel you need to discuss something with me to make your writing clearer don’t hesitate in asking me.

Describe the main monster or monsters.

Specifically: 1.Give no more than a two paragraph summary of the film. 2.Describe the main monster or monsters. Why are they monsters? 3.Define the monster’s prey or victim(s). Why are they in opposition to the monster? 4.Note any cinematic details that are used to identify or signal the monster’s presence (lighting, sound, music, crashing waves, whatever) 5.You should be able to find at least 5 moments/scenes/incidences of terror and the same for horror. Deconstruct each one: •What is happening? •What devices (music, sounds, shadows or light) help to create the moment of terror or horror? •What is the general effect of the described moment of terror or horror? •How effective is the film, using the motifs of terror and horror as your basis for criticism? 6.Use at least two secondary sources in this paper. They can be in relation to the role of the monster or in relation to the motifs of terror and horror in the film you have chosen.

MARKETING HOMEWORK

The requested work in this mini-project assumes that you are familiar with what were done in the checkpoint assignments of your term project. Note that I will answer all questions regarding your term project, and will not provide help on this mini-project. It is expected that by actively doing the work in the term project, you are able to show your skills here again with a different dataset with the same structure. Please complete the following: 1)You are given a transaction dataset that is very similar to the one in your term project, but it is smaller – all the variables names have the same meaning. Please complete the industry analysis (on industry level sales trend across 3 years, seasonality, pricing pattern, and channel use). Please state the industry name at the top of your file. (20 marks) 2)Please identify the top 3 companies and compare their sales trends, pricing patterns, channel uses on a monthly basis. (20 marks) 3)Please add zipcode level median income information to this dataset (with a vlookup function), and then describe each of the top 3 companies’ customer base. Which of them are selling to relatively more affluent neighborhood? (20 marks) 4)Please use each of the top 3 companies’ 2005 data (the 2005 cohort of customers) and label their top/median/low spenders using an M-code (you need to do this one by one for each company). a.For the 2006-07 period, what proportion of sales were from old vs. new customers for each firm? Please also show a few screenshots of your work in Excel on how you get the numbers to answer this question. (20 marks) b.For the 2006-07 period, where did each firm’s top spenders go? Did they leave the industry? Or they were still buying but just buying from others?

Why would a psychosocial assessment be a more preferable tool to utilize as opposed to a physical assessment or functional assessment?

1.The charge nurse has an appointment with the unit’s social worker to discuss the possible placement of a 92-year-old patient who has recently been admitted for a third time due to a fall at home. He now has a fractured femur and will need rehabilitation services for at least 6 weeks after which permanent placement may occur. The social worker arrives and shares that she is going to interview the patient and family to see what supports the patient has to assist in deciding upon placement. The charge nurse is concerned about the supports being the only issue being assessed and inquires to the social worker if they should also perform an entire psychosocial assessment as well. a.What information would you include about a psychosocial assessment for the social worker that would give her insight about this tool? b.Why would a psychosocial assessment be a more preferable tool to utilize as opposed to a physical assessment or functional assessment?
