3rd year, UK University, Module: Innovation Marketing Management In no more than 1500 words (main body) critically discuss how the New Product Development process of an innovative product may affect its overall product life cycle and determine its performance through its useful life. Please use recerences and citations to support your paper as well as appendices wherever needed. In your answers you may refer to real examples of companies or products that managed to excel in their target markets and extend the useful life of products through innovation.

You have been asked by your supervisor to analyze your division’s past financial performance and create a new budget that minimizes revenue-cycle risks through the application of flexible budgeting techniques. The objective is to allow the organization to remain profitable under as wide a range of scenarios as possible without unduly compromising services.
Previous budgets have been “static” in assigning costs and have been inaccurate predictors of actual performance. This has led to difficulties in managing the revenue cycle. There have been periods when the organization appears to be beating expectations and periods when it is underperforming.
Your professor will present you with a scenario outlining revenues and expenses over a fixed period. This scenario will include a combination of fixed and variable expenses as well as information on patient loads.
To complete this assignment:
1. Review the current budget provided by your professor, and answer the following questions:
How did the organization perform on an annual basis?
When comparing the static budget versus actual results, which line items in the income statement are Favorable (F) or Unfavorable (U)?
What are the per-unit costs and contribution margins?
Which line items presented the greatest variances?
2. Redraft the current budget provided in the template using flexible budgeting techniques to better accommodate variances in patient loads and create a budget that is a more accurate predictor of actual performance. After redrafting the budget, address the following:
Identify which line items are now Favorable (F) or Unfavorable (U).
What should have been the target operating income?
Which line items should be further explored for inefficiencies?
For the line items identified in (c), makes recommendations for
3. Identify key profitability loads
Using budgeted data, how many patients and revenue dollars would the health system need to break even?
Using budgeted data, how many patients and revenue dollars would be required to achieve a target profit of $100,000?
4. Summarize your argument for why this model is the most appropriate type for operational budgeting for your organization and explain the operational changes that would need to be implemented to use flexible budgets if the organization is used to working with static budgets.

Students will articulate their personal understanding of what Leadership is in 5-7-page APA formatted paper. This assignment requires the student to cover the following areas in their paper:
What is leadership? What embodies a great leader?
How does one become a leader -reflect on leaders in your life, in business, in philanthropy?
Reflect on EverythingDiSC Wiley !!!!!!!!personalized Assessment and what you have learned
Discuss leaders who embody your personal results.
Provide examples of leadership in action – Interview 3-4 leaders, gaining their perspective. Discuss their personal belief system that serves as a framework for critically evaluating the different models of leadership and their assessment of leadership.
The purpose of this assignment is to critically undergo a self-examination of the student’s capabilities as a Leader and better understand Leadership. Specifically, this paper serves as an initial perspective on the student’s leadership potential. Asking for and receiving feedback from peers, colleagues, and others is part of the paper content. Thinking back and reflecting on specific situations where you could have done anything different as a leader should also be included in the paper. Finally, you should discuss and assess the areas you need for improvement and for you to continue to develop.
In the interview that I have so far: Dorian Peterson(chick fa la owner in Jersey city and CEO) interview questions and answer
1.) How would you define leadership?
In its purest form I believe leadership is just the ability to impact the lives around you by inspiring and influencing others to act in alignment with your vision or a shared vision.
2.) In what ways did you learn about leadership?
I think my journey about leadership has been a lifetime journey and I’ve picked up different lessons from a number of different influential people in my life as well as some more famous leaders. I think the first example of leadership I was ever shown was through my father. He was a leader in our house, the way he led his family. He was a leader in the community, the way he impacted lives of young men and women. He taught me leadership lessons from a young age that I would go on to use for the rest of my life. From there, I believe sports played the most pivotal role in developing my leadership all the way through college. In that stage in my leadership it was more about leading by example and getting results. Later in my professional career as I became more intrigued with the concept of leadership, I learned a lot from books and podcasts. That was supplemented by being mentored by some great leaders in different organizations with very different, yet very effective, leadership styles and experiences. Currently i still invest in myself, go to seminars and workshops, read books, and am investing in a leadership coach. 3.) What is the key element of leadership that you think many people do not focus on?
The key element of leadership that i think many people don’t focus on is that level 5 leadership where you are constantly trying to improve yourself as a leader so you can impact and create leaders who one day surpass you and everything that you’ve accomplished. I think thats the only real test of a great leader.
4.) Do you think leaders are born or made?
I think it’s a combination of both. I believe some people are born with more innate leadership traits, but if they aren’t nurtured and developed they will never be more than an average leader. But I believe some people don’t possess or exemplify what we would identify as “leadership” traits early in life, but as they learn more, develop, and adapt they turn out to be some of the best leaders.
5.) Think about the worst leader you have ever interacted with: what made them the worst?
The worst leader i ever interacted with was a leader who wasn’t a master of his craft, he asked of people more than he was every willing and able to give himself. For me its hard to follow a leader i can’t respect, and he didn’t exemplify enough knowledge in his craft to make me want to follow him. 6.) Who is someone you look up to as a leader? Why?
Someone i look up to as a leader is Jesus Christ. He was the quintessential leader. He was the ultimate teacher. He was wise beyond anyone’s understanding but he never made anyone feel less than. He never missed a moment to teach. He always did was best for the overall greater good, even if it put him in a less than favorable position. Even when he was stern he lead with love. He exemplified every leadership quality you can think of.

WRITING ASSIGNMENT: SUMMATIVE ESSAY (MSM 6645)
QUALITY MANAGEMENT
The summative essay is an extension of your application essay. You have already identified a problem, conducted a SWOT analysis, described the affected process in detail, explored the context of the process using a diagnostic model (7-S or 6-Box), and suggested how to measure the effectiveness of a prospective change initiative to improve the process. The result is the start of a proposal for process improvement for your current organization or a prior one.* In this essay, you will complete the proposal by applying the criteria of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA) and invoking additional tools from the practice of organization change.
*Note: If your Week 6 essay differs from the description before the asterisk, you will need to rewrite it.
Standard Structural Components. Include a correctly formatted title page, executive summary, table of contents, body, reference section, and appropriate appendices.
Body Components from Application Essay. Re-save your application essay as your summative essay, and improve as necessary. Your essay should already have these sections: (a) introduction (no section header); (b) strategic considerations; (c) process steps; (d) process context; and (e) measurement. See below for how to reassess, update, and expand this last section.
New Sections to Insert:
After Introduction: (a) Statement of the Problem (logical description of the gap that you wish to address); and (b) Baldrige Framework (the first sixMBNQA criteria only)—what aspect of each Baldrige criterion is relevant to your case? Two concise sentences per criterion will suffice.
Before Measurement: (a) Summary of the Issues (based on SWOT and diagnostic model); (b) Recommendations (offer three suggestions for your organization to improve the selected process); (c) Implementation (briefly state how your organization should perform each step of the Kotter model); and (d) Quality Tools* (e.g., kaizen, lean, 5-S, Six Sigma, QFD, VSM, Ishikawa, Pareto).
*Note: PDSA and DMAIC are continuous-improvement processes, not quality tools.
Section to Update: Measurement. In light of additional thinking from the Baldrige Framework and Kotter’s model, define measures as follows: (a) Baseline or Benchmark to gauge progress*; (b) Measurement of Results (how to tell when you have fixed the problem); and (c) Measurement of Process Effectiveness (how to tell whether your continuous-improvement process is correct).
*Note: A baseline is a starting measure, before a change. A benchmark is a comparison measure from an outside organization or quality standard. A continuous-improvement process may be effective even if results fail to materialize, so we must take care to observe this distinction in our measures.
New Section to Add after Measurement: Conclusions. Reiterate the initial aim of the essay, and note a few implications for the organization (i.e., likely benefits of this change initiative).
Standards. See the posted APA-styled sample for title page, page numbering, executive summary, table of contents, section formatting, and references. Use appendices (not the body) for tables, graphs, or bulleted lists. Minimum length is 2,000 words, from introduction to end of conclusion, excluding section headers and quoted or parenthetical content. Cite at least the textbook and six qualifying sources based on the criteria listed in the syllabus. Proofread your work!
To amend your essay (before the deadline), type “AMENDED SUBMISSION” at the top of the new version.

prepare a 2,500-word comprehensive risk report for the Board in relation to the strategy proposal described below — this is split into 1,500-word report and 1,000-word Risk Register (which will be included within the supporting appendices). The Chair requires this report to add value to the company.

Instructions:
Overview
A detailed current market valuation of a commercial property together with necessary attachments is to be submitted
by the due date. This valuation report must comply with the ANZPI (Australia & New Zealand Property Institute)
professional practice standard http://anzvps.api.org.au/index.php and follow chapter 8 – Valuation Instructions and
Reports of the prescribed text.
9
Students are to prepare a full-speaking narrative long format professional valuation report to a superior industry
standard on either a multi-tenanted commercial office or retail income producing property. Include details of all
valuation calculations, methodology, assumptions & market (sales/rental) analysis. Close attention will also be paid
to field notes quality and extensiveness of acknowledgements.
A separate assignment cover sheet with all details will be available on the vUWS site for this subject . See below.
An investment marketing report is NOT required. Provide all salient details pertaining to the commercial organisation
you have received instructions from including the purpose, interest and basis of valuation. Do not nominate WSU or
the subject coordinator as the instructing party. Keep it realistic and aligned with report purpose. For example:
Ron Asheton of Eastpac Bank or WSU Bank; or Freddie Hubbard, Director of ABC solicitors etc. Educational purposes
is not a valid valuation purpose.
You are required to adopt Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) as your primary method (MANDATORY). Other contributing
factors such as professional thoroughness of information gathering and market activity will is also required. A
comprehensive valuation rationale, methodologies (including primary and supporting secondary check approaches)
and full workings and calculations must be included.
Acknowledged and detailed assistance from a private practitioner is welcomed and ideally should score higher marks.
Plagiarism will however be keenly scrutinised this session. Always acknowledge persons but do not forget identifying
the existence of an industry report is equally important. Please read following through carefully.
For all intents and purposes the foregoing may be viewed as client instructions as the observant student will note that
these issues must be addressed in any quality valuation report. It is left to the student to discern the most appropriate
basis, purpose (insurance valuations and on completion valuations are however excluded), interest to be valued and
valuation methodologies for the chosen subject property. Submitted reports without a properly defined purpose
or a contradictory, conflicting & erroneous purpose attract very low to fail grades. Distinguish between
the basis and the separate underlying reason for the valuation. Current market value is a basis and is NOT a
purpose! (Review Millington text, An Introduction to Property Valuation, Chapter 7 if uncertain or prescribed text
Principles & Practice Ch.8)
– A tenanted building with passing rents is a much better proposition for our purposes than a vacant or owneroccupied building. As per instructions we prefer existing multitenanted lease expiry profile with passing income.
We recommend freehold (fee simple in possession) subject to existing leases. Assess under/over/current market
situations. Valuation of a building on a vacant possession basis is undesirable and will attract discounted marks
compared to a passing rental analysis scenario at the date of valuation (fully let up basis) as reversionary income
will be reflected in the preferred market realistic approach.
– Ideally the subject property/building should have a business or commercial zoning. Confirm and support via
appendices with planning scheme ordinance extract or LGA/consent authority land use table reference. If
existing use rights apply amplify.
– One of the two valuation methods has to be DCF. It cannot be avoided.
– A secondary check method of valuation is compulsory.
– Long term ground leasehold and ACT leasehold is OK.
Details
Further clarification and discussion will be carried out in class and online. Students are expected to peruse the vUWS
posted materials relating Assignment Resources e.g. Due Diligence checklist. As a valuation practitioner the subject
coordinator/assessor will tend to focus on:
10
VALUATION REPORT
1. The premises are to be described in terms of size, construction, accommodation, layout and present use. Additionally, students are to outline and
investigate the status of the selected property in terms of town planning conformance considerations.
2. Having regard to the current use of the premises the basis of valuation must be ”current market value”; students are to put forward prime,
supporting secondary (check) methods of valuation and must identify market data presently available to the valuer (e.g. sales, yields, absorption and
rental levels).
3. Additionally, students will highlight the points of comparison discerned in the key sales/rental transactions identified in the rationale‘ section of
valuation report. What attributes assisted their deliberations in arriving at the final value conclusion in accord with the stated report purpose. See
Millington, Ch.7 as per vUWS posting.
4. Students will prepare a full-speaking narrative professional valuation report for the selected premises. The ANZVPS Business Focus 14.3 Reports,
Content and Compilation section specifically refers to self-contained or comprehensive style reporting format.
http://anzvps.api.org.au/14-3-business-focus.php Details of all valuation calculations, methodology, assumptions, and market analysis are required.
Professional standards will encompass instructions, valuation executive summary, evidence and annexures. Especially, students will identify the matters
that must be conveyed to persons commissioning a valuation of the premises selected for this exercise.
The traditional industry reporting format does not preclude scholarly discussion (where relevant) and proper referencing for this subject ’s purposes.
The increased word limit is 2,500 words (excluding appendices) maximum incorporating if deemed relevant, figures, tables/charts, floor and site plans, locality maps, photos/pictures, sales transaction analysis schedules, field
notes, supporting valuation calculations and workings; qualifications, disclaimers, acknowledgements, table of contents, executive summary and reference list. Students must hone, edit and re-edit their reports down to a lean,
concise document. Cultivate a professional and objective narrative tone that flows.
Note exclusions: No regional dispensation on current market value threshold. No single fronted, double storey
lockup shops allowed. No retail bulky goods developments. No single floors of a commercial building allowed. This
means strata floors and legal chambers are effectively voided. A whole strata building of course, isn’t a problem. No
industrial buildings/ complexes. Industrial property is the focus of Principles of Valuation. Commercial office, retail
and mixed uses are the province of this MGMT2001 subject .
It is envisaged that students will consult the lecturer associated with this topic with a view to discussing in some
detail the suitability of the premises selected. The preference is post via property address blog and note the vUWS
assignment related section.
This subject is not to be viewed as a discrete subject area. Students are encouraged to implement and incorporate
skills or ’tools’ acquired from other subject areas into their valuation assignment.
Assignment restrictions
In previous years students tried to submit public hotels, residential towers, a strata suite and industrial buildings
which all failed to meet the client instruction brief. Students are not allowed to:
– Undertake a land use/property type completed in an earlier program/subject;
– Submit an address that has been valued by another student of this subject within the last two years. If you
have any doubts in this respect, you must raise them with teaching staff;
– Submit a subject property address outside their official enrolled residential home state; i.e. NSW students’
property must be in NSW. (However, externally enrolled interstate or overseas students may choose an address
in their home state/territory/country.)
– Undertake on-completion, rental, insurance valuations; nor adopted forced sale value https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEture=youtu.be (However, if mortgage security is stipulated for valuation purposes note 8.2 ANZVGN 2 Valuations for Mortgage and Loan Security Purposes http://anzvps.api.org.au/8-2-vgn.php)
Ideally each student selects a different property address. In the past if more than one valuation is carried out for
the same property then the assignment will be marked as one and students will share marks. This policy has been
11
changed in recognition of the vast student numerical cohort now enrolled annually. There is no group option but a
maximum of only two students can submit a valuation on the same commercial property address. Only individual
submissions via Turnitin are permitted with no collusion between students allowed.
To avert the above scenario each student will email me, the property use and address of their selected premises for
assignment purposes. First come, first served. The coordinator will not be responsible for incomplete details.
An exterior photograph (jpg.) attached of the subject property is always a good idea as a picture often tells the story
better than copious text. This aids in the ’reply’ feedback. For example, the subject property simply has its address
in the title:
17_West_St_PARRAMATTA_ NSW_2150 6 Sty. Com. Office Bldg.
If you have queries or need to amplify use the comments key etc. Your name & SID # is automatically recorded so
need to waste space keying same.
It is expected that students assiduously organise contacts and finalise arrangements in order to make site inspections,
conduct interviews and secure property specific income/cost data from the first teaching week of Autumn Session.
It is not the coordinator’s role to check duplication. The onus is on students to check and self-monitor. Third &
above subsequent posters will automatically be disqualified unless a first or second poster has publicly withdrawn.
Students are required to check e-mails, announcements & vUWS.
All are required to pre-register their full nominated property address, proper description and any subsequent changes
via email. The non-submission of the above requirement (which virtually constitutes the Title page of the assignment)
will attract a single 5% penalty of available marks.
A property address and use may change if a valid reason is explained to the subject coordinator/tutor. This flexibility
does not void the above requirement.
The subject coordinator has no problem with mentored, fee paying supervised assignment submissions with proper
due acknowledgement of all parties, so long as the employer’s express consents/permission is obtained. There is
also no impediment to adopting a valuation firm or company’s reporting format, jargon or standard descriptions and
endorsements. Spreadsheets, valuation calculations and analysis must be original. If any assistance is provided by a
valuer in any way, then the extent of this assistance must be fully detailed and acknowledged in the report. Permissions
and clearances must be obtained regarding a specific building, especially if a valuation report is being partially utilised
as an information source. Further, the explicit existence and extent of any report (investment/valuation, industry-fee
paying or otherwise) must be clearly identified.
The assignment emphasis will be on the coherence of the property solution to the valuation problem and whether
the story of the property is communicated effectively. The valuation report’s purpose and interest must conform
to the stated valuation approaches. Teaching staff are concerned with sales and rental analysis, relevance to the
marketplace and the methodologies supporting the conclusion. We are not overly concerned with whether the final
current market value is 100 per cent accurate, right or wrong. The prime areas of interest are the soundness of the
valuation process and how well that is represented in the parallel valuation report writing process.
The owners may very well provide the student with dated passing rental or cost data (say, 2 years prior to date
of valuation or earlier). So be it. It is up to students to make their own adjustments and comparisons to current
market levels. Brokers, valuers, centre managing agents (City-scope publications for contacts) and asset managers
etc. may be of further assistance. It is perfectly legitimate for the owners/operators to disguise certain information
if commercially sensitive with appropriate qualifications. You may even be provided with ballpark figures! Just be
certain to quote the proper context.
The property address must always be real, actual and identified.
Non-adherence to minimum presentation requirements (penalty)
12
Any unsatisfactory submission will be returned (subject to the coordinator’s discretion and in some instances collegial
discussion), for reworking until such time that it meets the standards required and stipulated. The maximum mark
that can be achieved if an assignment is returned due to non- compliance with stated requirements is 50 per cent of
the available marks.
Submission requirements
The submission date and time is very specific and represents the close of business.
All students (whether internal or external) must submit via vUWS dedicated AssignmentAssignment online. There
is no provision for hard-copy mailing or delivery. Only soft copy reports will be accepted. All hard-copy submissions
will attract an automatic 10 per cent penalty. Do not leave it to the last moment to submit. Ensure a buffer in case
you forget something. Review the marking criteria including vUWS resources. Please follow instructions.
Each student has by default only one attempt for online submission requiring a single incorporated document inclusive
of cover sheet, report and annexed supporting documentation and must be Adobe PDF. Thereafter a delay mechanism
is invoked.
Print completed WSU cover-sheet, sign and scan. Open the PDF file that contains the scan; zoom to the size of
your screen. Open the ”Snipping Tool” (usually found in the start menu) snip the PDF – this creates an image. Now
open your word doc, Insert blank page at the start; insert the snipped image. File >Save as >Change word doc to
PDF in the drop-down box. BOOM! PDF file with cover-sheet.
Warning: Be sure to verify the publisher and virus-scan any programs you download. Generally it is good practice
to reduce content by constant revision and editing. Further reduction can be achieved by compression http://compress.smallpdf.com and screen shots.
Late assignments submitted between the due time and midnight on due date attract a penalty.
An assessment submitted at any time after the due time on the due date will be deemed to be a late submission and
late submission penalties will accrue immediately from the due time and date.
Assignment Related Resources and Assistance

Marking Criteria:
The gold standard reference imbuing marking critera for the assignment is the ANZPI Professional Practice Standard
for Commercial Valuation report writing. Although now defunct the historical provisions of the Valuers Act (2003)and
Regulations (2005)(as amended) are good indicators of the former regulatory environment. Commercial valuers must
apprise themselves of the immediate past if they are to avoid litigation and understand how contemporary professional
practice evolved.
A detailed marking guide with component weights for assessment 1 task follows but should be read in conjunction
with the the aforementioned Valuation and Property Standards provided on the vUWS site. Best advice is to peruse
vUWS link and resources. The ANZV&PS over-ride any perceived conflict or ambiguity. The following is a list of
those features and hallmarks most commonly associated (often in combination) with a fail grade:
– No purpose or confused/inconsistent purpose of valuation;
– No acknowledgements (must be extensive);
– No supporting check method of valuation undertaken or value provided;
– No reconciliation of valuation approaches; including adoption of spurious averaging of sales evidence;
-Misapplication of units of measurement or comparison;
– No recent or current 2017/19 dated Certificate of Title or Computer Folio Identifier;
– No valuation-file communications or worked calculations;
– No annexed field inspection (subject and sales) notes with in-field sketch plans;
– No disclaimer, limitations, provisos or reservations;
– No photographic evidence (a single exterior front elevation and colour is required);
– No sales transaction analysis lacking both contract dates & parties to transaction; (No detailed direct comparison
commentary relating the selected key comparable sales market evidence highlighted in the valuation rationale‘ to the
subject premises are notoriously classic omissions! )
– No rental comparable analysis, lacking both commencement dates, and direct comparison commentary related to
the subject premises;
– No car parking rental comparable evidence analysed or commented upon.
At best non-compliance with the following will attract only 50% of total assignment marks and complements vUWS
posted due diligence check-list annexure AA) but over-rides any perceived conflict or ambiguity. This due diligence
checklist replicates the coordinator’s own idea of all the headings and logical sequential order of a valuation report.
It is hoped it gives some valuable insight as it was a past marking guide but the number of decision inputs became
too time intensive and hence became obsolete.  
Please use recent articles that relate to this assignment, no longer than 10 years old.
Important Note: 
A detailed current market valuation of a commercial property together with necessary attachments is to be submitted
by the due date. This valuation report must comply with the ANZPI (Australia & New Zealand Property Institute)
professional practice standard http://anzvps.api.org.au/index.php and follow chapter 8 – Valuation Instructions and
Reports of the prescribed text.

Scenario
There is an increased focus in today’s global economy and business climate on understanding employee personality, moods, emotions, attitudes, behaviors, and their impact on organizations. Additionally, initiatives regarding talent acquisition have been encouraged to promote diversity in their hiring practices that would support a workforce and organizational culture that brings in rich experiences and backgrounds.
This phenomenon has focused on studying the impact of human behavior on organizations and how organizational practices, culture, and behaviors may impact the individual. Knowing the influence of an individual’s culture, personality, and behavior on organizational performance has led to the need to design more effective organizational processes and practices that impact employees to improve organizational performance.
As an HR professional, you have been asked to present at an upcoming event sponsored by your organization. The event’s focus is “The Employee Contributions: How the employee’s attitudes, personality, and behaviors impact organizational success.” Remember, you are not only an HR professional, but you are also representing your company. You can use any company to serve as a backdrop to address the following requirements for the presentation.
Instructions
Create a presentation with speaker’s notes that:
Examines personality characteristics and personal values for organizational fit (2-3 Slides)
How do these characteristics and values align with an organization?
Analyzes the influences of emotions and behaviors on work-related performance (1-2 Slides)
How will a person’s moods and emotions influence their behaviors in the workplace?
Summarizes the impact of attitudes and behaviors on employee job satisfaction (2-3 Slides)
Describe both the challenges and benefits to the organization.
Uses examples to support the understanding of concepts in a well-defined presentation
Contains presentation slides with only general information as a visual reference for the audience, and the speaker’s notes should include the details of each slide
As always, please keep in mind who your audience is and use correct grammar and spelling.
Requirements 
Clearly and strongly examined personality characteristics and personal values for organizational fit, using thorough examples of characteristics and values with details on how they align with an organization in a well-defined presentation.
Clearly and strongly analyzed the influence of emotions and behaviors on work-related performance, using thorough examples detailing how mood and emotions influence a person’s behaviors in a well-defined presentation.
