In this assignment, you will develop a concept for your own business (it does not matter the topic).  You will take this business and utilize what you have learned this semester to make it successful.  You can take proponents from your assignments and modify and improve them to satisfy part of the requirements.  For example, your company’s logo could be a modified and enhanced version of what was created for this class.  Make sure it is your best work.  Please take this assignment seriously as it weighs substantially on your final grade.  This assignment will require creativity as well as a focus on details.  Thus far we have covered subjects from Communications, Memos, Research, Visual Media, Social Media, Reports, Collaborating, Diversity, Recruiting, etc.  Make sure you utilize all of the concepts in our “content” to complete this assignment.  You will create a PowerPoint that will have a voice-over (your voice) explaining each slide and concept.

Once you have an entrepreneur in mind to research, tell me about them and why you selected him or her. How did they get their start? Who or what influenced them? In your opinion, what do you think help aid in their success? What mistakes did they make along the way? Was their business successful? If so, why? Who was their target market? Please remember you will need to identify each segment of their target market. Identifying the target market is essential because you must know your customer. Did they have a secret selling sauce? What is their competitive advantage and did that drive their success? What about the profitability ratios mentioned in our textbook, which one is most important to your entrepreneur? Which one did they focus on or should they have focused on more? Since employees are our greatest asset, did the entrepreneur you selected buy into that belief, and what makes you think that? These are some ideas you may explore in your research paper but you are welcome to add more information and ideas as well. 

The key term for this paper is (Bounded Rationality Perspective)

Our guest speaker, Dr. Stephanie Gonzaga, speaks to enterprise system implementations within her company, ARCS Commercial Mortgage Company (INF220 Week One Information Systems – The Big Picture Part One and INF220 Week One Information Systems – The Big Picture Part Two). Describe one measurement dimension of the “A Priori Model” using the dimension measurements in the “A Priori Model” diagram (See the Instructor Guidance). For example, data accuracy is a measurement of system quality. A system with good system quality integrates data input validation rules to allow only certain types of data input in specific fields. Identify how Dr. Gonzaga’s IT organization provided enterprise systems that addressed the “A Priori” measurement dimension you identified: system quality, information quality, satisfaction, individual impact, or organizational impact. Give examples to illustrate your answer. Provide justification and citations for your points.

Contract Scenario
Calvin had been an avid coin collector for many years, and the most valuable coin in his collection was an uncirculated, mint condition, 1943 Lincoln penny made of copper (most pennies made during World War II were made of zinc because copper was needed in the war effort). That penny had a value of between $60,000 and $95,000.
In August of 2017, Calvin had a serious stroke that left him unable to speak or walk, but his doctor assured his family that Calvin would recover over time with intensive therapy.
Calvin was a widower and did not have any children, but he had several nephews who visited him from time to time as he recovered. None of the nephews had any real interest in Calvin’s coin collection. One of Calvin’s nephews, Billy, who visited Calvin more often than the other nephews, sometimes listened to Calvin talk (talking was a part of Calvin’s therapy) about his mounting medical bills and his coin collection, but Billy never showed much interest in the medical bills or the coin collection.
In October, as Calvin’s recovery progressed slowly, Billy visited Calvin and told Calvin that he had been reading about coin collecting, and he realized that Calvin’s collection, especially the 1943 Lincoln copper penny, was valuable, and Billy suggested that Calvin should consider selling the 1943 Lincoln copper penny and use the proceeds to pay his medical bills. Calvin resisted the idea at first, but Billy continued to urge Calvin to sell the penny so that he would not have to worry about the medical bills. Finally, when Billy told Calvin that he would arrange the sale of the penny for a commission of just 5% of the sale price of the penny, Calvin began to think that selling the coin might be a good idea. He was still a little confused about how the sale would work and what Billy would do to make sure that the penny would be sold for the best price. Calvin told Billy that he thought that the penny was worth almost $100,000, but Billy assured Calvin that the market had changed recently, and that the penny was now worth $40,000 to $45,000. Eventually, Calvin allowed Billy to sell the penny for the best price he could get and to take a 5% commission for arranging the sale of the penny. Billy then sold the penny to a friend for $40,000, took his 5% commission, and paid the remainder of the sale price to Calvin.
A few months later, as Calvin continued to recover, he read a story in a coin collecting magazine about how an uncirculated, mint condition, 1943 Lincoln penny made of copper had just sold at auction for more than $100,000, and Calvin began to wonder if Billy had taken advantage of him. Calvin consulted a lawyer and asked the two questions below.
Exhibit 11-1 (See Exhibit Attachment) explains the relevant considerations for mental incapacity. Based on the facts presented, did Calvin have the mental capacity to enter into the contract when he agreed to let Billy sell the penny?
(See Undue Influence Attachement) The textbook poses four questions to analyze when determining undue influence. Based on the facts presented, did Billy exert undue influence over Calvin to cause Calvin to enter into the contract that allowed Billy to sell the penny?
Must include at least two sources. Be sure to use APA formatting for all citations and references.
