What was your experience working in a team? What resources were most helpful? What resources could have made the experience better?

You will need to write this in the form of a reflective essay but make sure you have addressed every single point that is listed in the form of a question. Keep in mind we will be assessed based on how we can effectively reflect on these questions. You could link some of the skills in the self-reflection essays to connect it’s relevant to this group project.

What industry-relevant skills have you learned while undertaking this project? Be specific.

How well have you fulfilled your responsibilities as a team member? Consider how you have fulfilled your obligations under the team contract, including attending scheduled team meetings and meeting agreed deadlines.

What would you change about your own contribution if you were to retake this class?

What was your experience working in a team? What resources were most helpful? What resources could have made the experience better?

 

There is no word limit for the essay, but we encourage students to write less than 1500 words (or 300 words per prompt). Again, there is no limit, so if you want to write more or less, that is perfectly fine. The teaching team will be reading each to ensure that the question is fully answered.

You should attach evidence (e.g. screenshots of emails, communication, etc) of your contributions.

Evaluate and recommend which Game Console the company should proceed with, using the Net Present Value technique.

Case 1: An Irish company, Leprechaun, that sells imported game consoles online is evaluating two mutually exclusive new products, only one of which will be accepted. The company’s cost of capital is 11%. Option 1: Game Console X This project to launch Game Console X will have a five-year life. Leprechaun thinks that the market for this console will become too competitive due to improvements in visual techniques after five years, so it will stop selling this product and launch new products after that. Selling price per unit in the first year is expected to be Euro 14.55. Materials and shipping costs are expected to be Euro 3.30 and Euro 7.20 per unit respectively in the first year. The selling price and the cost of shipping per unit are expected to increase by 6% per year in the third and subsequent years. Materials cost per unit is expected to increase by 5% per year in the third and subsequent years. 80,000 units are expected to be produced and sold in the first year; in the second and subsequent years this figure is expected to increase to 110,000 units. Investment in working capital is expected to increase by Euro 135,000 at the start of the project and will be reversed at the end of the project life. Initial cost of Euro 1,425,000 is to be paid now. Assets used in the project will have a useful life of five years, after which they will be sold on for a value of Euro 75,000. The company will apportion per year Euro 30,000 of its head office administrative costs to this project. Option 2: Game Console Y This project to launch Game Console Y will have a three-year life. The company has already spent Euro 80,000 on the design of this product. An initial outlay of Euro 1,275,000 is to be paid now with a further Euro 300,000 in one year’s time. The annual revenue is expected to be Euro 1,110,000 in year 1 rising by Euro 135,000 each subsequent year. Operational costs are expected to be Euro 450,000 in year 1 rising by Euro 112,500 each subsequent year. At the end of the project, assets will be sold for a value of Euro 375,000. Investment in working capital is expected to increase by Euro 60,000 at the start of the project and will be reversed at the end of the project life. The company will apportion per year Euro 50,000 of its head office administrative costs to this project. With regard to the development of Console Y, some management will have to leave aside work on other projects, resulting in delays and reduced income from these projects amounting to Euro 75,000 per year. Originally when designing the two Consoles, Leprechaun has talked to factories in East Europe for the production of both X and Y in 2022. Leprechaun is to launch either Game Console X or Y in summer 2025. Requirement: You are the Chief Financial Officer of Leprechaun. You are required to present a report to the board of directors and management team of Leprechaun, addressing the following: a). Evaluate and recommend which Game Console the company should proceed with, using the Net Present Value technique. Word limit: 300 words. (30%) b). Discuss how rapid technological change could impact the assumptions. Word limit: 150 words. c). You should include a discussion of possible impact of post supply chain disruptions post covid. Word limit: 150 words.

Evaluate the effectiveness of the pilot research recommending changes that should be made to the final market research activity

The pilot study plans to use a target population of 7 participants. The researcher will use a simple random sampling technique to cover every object in the population fully. Through this method, every item of the sample population has the possibility of being selected. The original sample size for the population is expected to be 20 participants; therefore, only 7 participants will be chosen randomly for the pilot study. To achieve the 7 participants for the pilot study, the researcher will use the lottery method to assign a number between 1 and 20. From these, 7 participants will be selected at random. Those individuals who will make up the subset of the larger group will be chosen at random

Do you think this trend will ultimately be harmful or beneficial to relationships? Please explain.
  1. The few valid studies that have compared the marital satisfaction of arranged marriages versus autonomous marriages (“love matches”) have had conflicting results. It is particularly difficult to compare divorce rates since societies vary greatly in terms of the ease with which marital partners, particularly women, can divorce (Hatfield & Rapson, 2005). We do know that there appears to be a global trend away from arranged marriages (Dion & Dion, 2005). Do you think this trend will ultimately be harmful or beneficial to relationships? Please explain.

Why do you think the scores of males show increased importance attributed to love over that same period of time?

Description

  1. In a 1967 study of American college students, Kephart reported that 65% of males and 24% of females answered “no” to the question about marrying someone who had the qualities you desired, but with whom you are not in love. No such gender differences were found by Levine and colleagues. Approximately 80% of males and females in their sample of Americans answered “no” to the same question. From a cultural perspective, how might you explain the dramatic change in response of American females between 1967 and 1995? Why do you think the scores of males show increased importance attributed to love over that same period of time?
