Assessing the isk in Three Potential Investments

The way an investment is assessed will include consideration for the level of risk that is present in that investment. The higher a risk associated with a business the higher the required rewards referred to as the risk and reward equation. Where the risk premium increases this will also lead to the use of increased discount levels in discounted cash flow assessments, such as net present value (NPV) calculations. In order to consider the way this may be applied to investment decisions three different business plans may be assessed; Acme Consulting, Interstate Travel Center and Silvera and Sons.

isk may be assessed using a number of different criteria. From the perspective and an investor, or lender, the key aspect of risk will be the determination of whether or not the money invested or loaned will be returned and whether is will make a profit…...

Next, you want to take photographs of the locations itself. This will be included with the application that you are submitting to the Department of Consumer Affairs. In general, the more pictures that you can supply of the interior and exterior of the property, the more it will help to provide a complete picture.

Conclusion

The progression of business models has been from those initially focused on the internal needs of a company to the expectations, preferences, wants and needs of customers. Compounding this transition has been the need for providing customers with highly customized products and experiences (Pynnonen, Hallikas, itala, 2012). These factors have been taken into account in the analysis of the core business models that have dominated the global economic landscape from 1900 to today. The business model of…...

Business Summaries
This chapter addresses the reasons that one should study business and businesses to begin with. The authors make the point that they do not intend for this to be a narrow study that just focuses on particular examples of successive and failed businesses, although it will include case studies too.

But the major point of studying business, the authors write, is to provide a larger sense of what is needed to succeed in today's working world. Unlike previous generous of workers, who could succeed by mastering a few specific skills, today's workers have to be broadly educated, being able to exhibit: "honesty and integrity, willingness to work hard, dependability, time management skills, self-confidence, motivation, willingness to learn, communication skills, professionalism."

The chapter also provides basic definitions that will be used throughout the books, including "business" (the organized work of individuals coming together) and providing a brief overview of how capitalism works.…...

Business communication plays a significant role in day to day activities, because nearly every transaction a person engages in is a form of business. At work, business communication is more than just talking with the boss about important matters. It's also small interactions between colleagues, how you talk to customers and vendors, and non-verbal communication concerns like posture and facial expression. In an increasingly global society, proper business communication is becoming more significant. You can find information on this issue in business journals. The website ACBJ.com provides you with access to a large number of business journals from a wide variety....

For a research paper on the significance of the pharmaceutical industry and the business aspects of that, you could consider: * Strategic management of the pharmaceutical companies. * The overall business model for pharmaceutical companies. * Problems that are facing the business aspect of the industry. * How changing laws are affecting the pharmaceutical business. There are others, of course, and you can also narrow down one of the options here to provide something more specific. Maybe pick a particular pharmaceutical company and do an analysis on how the health care law may affect it? Finding a topic that's narrow enough is key, so....
