Discuss what privacy concerns are raised by that one form of digital marketing.

Using a real business/organization as an example, prepare an effective sample email to be used in an email marketing campaign. Feel free to provide one or more mock links within the sample email (however, it is not necessary to provide mockups of the actual sites to which these would link to). Find and provide a real, specific example of any form of digital marketing (a real website link, social media page, email marketing example etc.). Summarize your example.

Also, discuss how the business or organization can address the privacy concerns while still maintaining the purpose of that specific marketing method.

Discuss the implications of the ratios provided for the lending decision you are to make. That is, does the information paint a favorable picture? Are these ratios relevant to the decision? State why or why not.

 You are a loan officer for White Sands Bank of Taos. Paul Jason, president of P. Jason Corporation, has just left your office. He is interested in an 8-year loan to expand the company’s operations. The borrowed funds would be used to purchase new equipment. As evidence of the company’s debt-worthiness, Jason provided you with facts (available in the attached Scenario Worksheet). Jason is a very insistent (some would say pushy) man. When you told him you would need additional information before making your decision, he acted offended and said, “What more could you possibly want to know?” You responded you would, at minimum, need complete, audited financial statements.

Develop an examination of the financial statements and include the following:

  • Explain why you would want the financial statements to be audited.
  • Discuss the implications of the ratios provided for the lending decision you are to make. That is, does the information paint a favorable picture? Are these ratios relevant to the decision? State why or why not.
  • Evaluate trends in the performance of P. Jason Corporation. Identify each performance measure as favorable or unfavorable and explain the significance of each.
  • List three other ratios you would want to calculate for P. Jason Corporation, and in your own words explain in detail why you would use each.
  • As the loan officer, what else would you do to gain a better understanding of Paul Jason’s, and the Corporation’s financial picture and why?
  • Based on your analysis of P. Jason Corporation, will you recommend approval for the requested loan? Provide specific details to support your decision.

Tilton, in “Youth Uprising,” describes a program that differs in some important ways from more traditional social work practice. What are some traditional ideas that social workers (you, for example) would have to let go of to work in this type of program?

1. Jackson states, in “On Project SpeakOUT,” that adults are often “simply not listening” to children and teens. Do you agree? In your experience, where do you see youth speaking out or being silenced? Where do you see adults listening or failing to hear what youth are saying? 2. Tilton, in “Youth Uprising,” describes a program that differs in some important ways from more traditional social work practice. What are some traditional ideas that social workers (you, for example) would have to let go of to work in this type of program? In particular, how are “boundaries” between workers and youth different in this space? 3. What do you think made these two programs successful at engaging and empowering youth? What did they teach you about any new or different possibilities for social work practice?

Briefly describe the use of stock options in a compensation plan. What are some potential problems with stock options as a form of compensation?

Suppose you decide (as did Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg) to start a company. Your product is a software platform that integrates a wide range of media devices, including laptop computers, desktop computers, digital video recorders, and cell phones. Your initial client base is the student body at your university. Once you have established your company and set up procedures for operating it, you plan to expand to other colleges in the area and eventually to go nationwide. At some point, hopefully sooner rather than later, you plan to go public with an IPO and then to buy a yacht and take off for the South Pacific to indulge in your passion for underwater photography. With these plans in mind, you need to answer for yourself, and potential investors, the following questions:

  1. What is an agency relationship? When you first begin operations, assuming you are the only employee and only your money is invested in the business, would any agency conflicts exist? Explain your answer.
  2. Suppose your company raises funds from outside lenders. What type of agency costs might occur? How might lenders mitigate the agency costs?
  3. What is corporate governance? List five corporate governance provisions that are internal to a firm and are under its control.
  4. Briefly describe the use of stock options in a compensation plan. What are some potential problems with stock options as a form of compensation?
  5. Briefly explain how regulatory agencies and legal systems affect corporate governance.
