explain what Marketing action you recommend Disney take to reverse the negative impression these harassment scandals had among Disney PUBLICS ( their external audiences) to make all Disney divisions a more respectful place of employment. 

 
MARKETING ASSIGNMENT 
The objective of the integrated semester is to help you extend your knowledge of how the Finance, Operations, Management, and Marketing disciplines work and how they integrate their functioning in the real world of business. This assignment is an assessment of how well you understand the integration process. 
This assignment will be dealing with DISNEY and has 2 parts. 
Part 1: 
Listed below you will find one WEAKNESSES and one THREAT for DISNEY, read them carefully then proceed to answer the questions that follow : 
1) Disney Weakness: 
Walt Disney Company has a higher employee turnover rate compared to competitors. 
2) Disney Threat: 
There is a predicted global recession in the near future. This can cause a problem for Disney in the sense that attendance at their global entertainment venues will decline negatively, impacting their revenue and profit. 
Assignment Questions: 
– Pick one, either the Disney Weakness or the Threat and explain how you would turn the Disney weakness into a Strength or the Disney Threat into an Opportunity. 
– Explain how your actions would impact Marketing, Finance, Management and Operations. 
Part 2: 
Assume you are the new CEO of Disney and you have to now rebuild the Disney Brand Image that was damaged due to major harassment scandals so it bounces back from all the negative publicity it received from these incidents. Note: harassment covers not only sexual offensives against women but bullying, microaggression and offensive behaviors against LGBTQ, people with disabilities, older members of the workforce and people from other cultures. 6 
Your overall bounce back strategy is to commit to a change in the Disney work place culture at all levels involving all employees in all Disney companies and divisions. After your careful investigation and detailed understanding of the issues you want to take steps to develop a culture of trust, respect and purpose for all employees and a harassment free work environment in all 32 Disney Global Business units with a total of 203,000 employees. To establish consistency in policy and procedures on a global basis requires you retain services of an outside consulting firm with expertise in development of Human Resource Programs that can guide the Disney Organization step-by-step through a critical process so all their employees become trained and certified in policies to end Harassment within their organization. The cost to implement the program is $600 per employee for a total cost of $12,180,000.(203,000 employees x $600 each). 
Your Assignment has 3 parts 
– Explain how you would Announce , Market and Promote this program internally to all Disney employees so they take a Pledge of Commitment to make the Disney workplace a more respectful place of employment. 
– Secondly: explain what Marketing action you recommend Disney take to reverse the negative impression these harassment scandals had among Disney PUBLICS ( their external audiences) to make all Disney divisions a more respectful place of employment. 
– Lastly , explain the impact these actions have across Marketing ,Finance, Management and Operations. 
Please read all the instructions carefully before beginning to answer the questions. Contact your instructor if you don’t understand the assignment’s requirements. The assignment must be submitted as instructed. You will lose points if you fail to follow the instructions or if the submission is formatted incorrectly.

The assignment should be prepared as a Word document, 3-4 pages in length per each discipline’s questions.
The document should be double-spaced, using Arial font #12.
Add any appendices or references at the end of the Word document for each discipline separately.
Upload the appropriate Word file through the link on Canvas to each of your Integrated Semester courses separately by the due date (i.e. the Marketing assignment should only be uploaded to your Marketing class).
Your reference sources, in addition to the base case and question sets, should be online sites and articles, Bloomberg terminals, your Integrated Semester textbooks, PowerPoint slides, and other sources your professor assigns.
Turnitin, a software tool that improves writing and prevents plagiarism, will be used to assess your sourcing of information. Do your own work.

Describe at least one specific element that could benefit from change within your topic.Consider how your topic has been discussed and represented. What approaches could be more constructive? What could be done differently to encourage, promote, or transform your topic?

In this activity, you will analyze your topic using the general education lens you chose in the previous module in order to determine how the topic has affected institutions. During your analysis, you will also describe an element related to your topic that could benefit from change and assess the benefits and challenges associated with addressing wellness. Finally, you will analyze how modern social practices have been impacted by wellness.
Include diverse perspectives from varied sources to support your points. You should continue to gather the sources you will integrate into your project. These sources will include two resources from the module resource sections of this course and two resources that you find through your own research using the Shapiro Library. It may be beneficial to identify more than the number of sources required for the project so that you can eventually choose the most useful and credible ones. Look to the SNHU Shapiro Library for assistance in finding evidence and resources from outside the course.
You are not required to address each item below the rubric criteria, but you may use them to better understand the criteria and guide your thinking and writing.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Integrate reliable evidence from varied sources throughout your paper to support your analysis.It is important to draw from a more diverse pool of perspectives from varied sources to support the analysis. This is different from the Citations and Attributions rubric criterion.
Reliable evidence from varied sources should be interwoven throughout the paper itself, while citing and attributing sources will be represented as APA in-text citations and a reference list at the end of your work.
You will be evaluated on both criteria.
Analyze your chosen issue or event through one of the general education interdisciplinary lenses to determine its impact on various institutions.Apply the perspective of the general education lens you chose in the previous module to your topic. Then determine how the topic might affect institutions such as politics, community, family, economy, education, or market-driven organizations.
Describe at least one specific element that could benefit from change within your topic.Consider how your topic has been discussed and represented. What approaches could be more constructive? What could be done differently to encourage, promote, or transform your topic? This response is not simply your opinion but should be supported by reliable evidence.
Assess the benefit and challenges of addressing issues in wellness.What may be the positive impact of critically analyzing wellness? Conversely, what are the more difficult aspects of addressing wellness? This part refers to wellness overall and is not specifically about your project topic.
Analyze how social practices have been shaped by issues and events in wellness in modern culture.How have contemporary social practices been influenced by wellness? For example, consider practices such as communication, cultural expression, governance, or caregiving.
Submit your short paper as a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA style.

Patricia is researching venues for a restaurant business. She is evaluating three major attributes that she considers important in her choice: taste, location, and price. The value she places on each attribute, however, differs according to what type of restaurant she is going to start. If she opens a restaurant in a suburban area of Los Angeles, then taste is the most important attribute, three times as important as location, and two times as important as price. If she opens a restaurant in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, then location becomes three times as important as taste and two times as important as price. She is considering two venues, respectively, a steak restaurant and a pizza restaurant, both of which are priced the same. She has rated each attribute on a scale of 1 to 100 for each of the two different types of restaurants. Show all of your calculations and processes. Describe your answer for each question in complete sentences. Which of the two options should Patricia pursue if she wants to open a restaurant in a suburban area of Los Angeles? Calculate the total expected utility from each restaurant option and compare. Graph is not required. Describe your answer, and show your calculations.

As a financial consultant, you have contracted with Wheel Industries to evaluate their procedures involving the evaluation of long term investment opportunities.  You have agreed to provide a detailed report illustrating the use of several techniques for evaluating capital projects including the weighted average cost of capital to the firm, the anticipated cash flows for the projects, and the methods used for project selection.  In addition, you have been asked to evaluate two projects, incorporating risk into the calculations. You have also agreed to provide an 8-10 page report, in good form, with detailed explanation of your methodology, findings, and recommendations. Company Information Wheel Industries is considering a three-year expansion project, Project A.  The project requires an initial investment of $1.5 million. The project will use the straight-line depreciation method. The project has no salvage value. It is estimated that the project will generate additional revenues of $1.2 million per year before tax and has additional annual costs of $600,000.  The Marginal Tax rate is 35%. Required: Wheel has just paid a dividend of $2.50 per share. The dividends are expected to grow at a constant rate of six percent per year forever. If the stock is currently selling for $50 per share with a 10% flotation cost, what is the cost of new equity for the firm? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using this type of financing for the firm? The firm is considering using debt in its capital structure. If the market rate of 5% is appropriate for debt of this kind, what is the after tax cost of debt for the company? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using this type of financing for the firm? The firm has decided on a capital structure consisting of 30% debt and 70% new common stock. Calculate the WACC and explain how it is used in the capital budgeting process. Calculate the after tax cash flows for the project for each year. Explain the methods used in your calculations. If the discount rate were 6 percent calculate the NPV of the project. Is this an economically acceptable project to undertake? Why or why not?

Determine one challenge in the culture that may cause a major resistance to the transition from individual learning to organizational learning. Next, recommend one mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. P

 
Overview
Using the same scenario from Identifying the Organizational Learning Issue, you realize that transitioning your organization to a learning environment may not be as easy as first imagined. You have encountered several resistance issues relating to the culture, psychological learning, organization structure, workforce commitment, and dissemination of knowledge. You decide to gather a decision-making team to assist in identifying the high or moderate resistance risks that may stop or slow down the process of this transition. The decision-making team must also recommend some mitigation intervention to lower the identified resistance risks to either moderate or low. For example, a high resistance risk can become moderate or low, and a moderate resistance risk can become low.
Your final product will be a table that identifies five issues related to the organization’s culture, psychological learning, organization structure, workforce commitment, and dissemination of knowledge. You must also provide a description of each resistance issue and rate the resistance risk before the mitigation intervention as either High (H) or Moderate (M). Then, you must provide a description of your team’s mitigation intervention and determine the resistance risk’s downgrade from High (H) to Moderate (M) or Low (L) and/or Moderate (M) to Low (L) after the mitigation intervention.
Instructions
Create a table in which you:
Determine one challenge in the culture that may cause a major resistance to the transition from individual learning to organizational learning. Next, recommend one mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
Predict one psychological learning threat that may result from the transition and then provide one mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
Assess the current organizational structure as it relates to the free flow of knowledge, then specify one issue that may cause major resistance to the transition. Provide one mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
Critique the workforce commitment to this transition and predict one major resistance you may encounter. Next, provide a mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
Propose one dissemination of knowledge issue with the recipients’ ability to absorb the knowledge and comprehend it into action (that is, motivating the recipient to share knowledge). Next, provide one mitigation intervention to downgrade the identified resistance in your table. Provide a rationale for your selected mitigation intervention.
