future of mergers and acquistions of post covid 19

Dear All,
1. Perhaps the most important chapter notes and PPT for this paper will be chapter 7, which is all about mergers and acquisitions. Make sure you use chapter 7 (as well as 8 and 9 as appropriate) to discuss the concepts you encounter in the assigned readings on mergers and acquisitions of post pandemic.
2. Your paper should be 1200 words (4 pages). Create a cover page with the title and your name. Make the title interesting — the name of the position you’ve taken in th paper.
3. Write an introduction that tells me what you will cover in your paper and in what order. You are use the assigned readings to make an argument about the future of mergers and acquisitions given COVID-19. You’ll need to think about what the authors have to say. What kinds of businesses will be acquired, for example? Those that prospered during the recession —- or those that barely hung on?
4. Organize your paper with subheads to identify movement from one topic to another. Write a conclusion that summarizes the major points in your paper.
5. Use citations and references. In the body of your paper, when you are discussing a concept introduced by Jones, your citation will look like this: (Jones, 2011), If you quote Jones, your citation will look like this (Jones, 2011, p. 34). References must be fully written out and arranged in alpha order by last name of author or publisher, if no author, along the left margin:

Writing Critical Book Reviews
Use the following checklist as a guide for writing critical book reviews. A good review should answer the following questions, not necessarily in the order listed.
What materials does the book cover? (Should be summarized briefly.)
What is the author’s thesis and major supporting arguments? How well does the author
support the thesis? (The author’s use of evidence and the soundness of the author’s
reasoning are relevant here.)
How is the book organized? (Chronologically or topically?)
What is the author’s “approach”? That is, would you classify the work as political history,
social history, economic history, intellectual history, etc.? (Make sure you understand
what is meant by economic history or intellectual history before using these terms!)
What are the literary qualities? Is the book well-written or does it read like a badly
written insurance policy?
Who is the author and what are the author’s biases?
What did the book add to your understanding of the subject? Did you enjoy the book?
Why or why not?
If you have read other books on the same general topic, how does this book compare?
Most important, how does the interpretation (thesis) of this book differ from that of the others?
Again, these questions need not be answered in any specific order, but all of them should be addressed, however briefly, somewhere in the review. They are very useful in helping you to properly organize your paper. Finally, a book review, like any piece of writing, should observe the basic requirements of literary discourse. There should be an introduction (in this case an overview of your thesis concerning the book you are reviewing—”This was a good book because…”), a middle section in which you develop your argument, and a brief conclusion. As always, clarity and grammatical precision are important if you want your reader to understand what you are saying.
BOOK REVIEW v. BOOK REPORT
Please remember that a Book Review is not a Book Report. A book report requires you to merely repeat the information you acquired from reading the book. In other words, a book report is what you did in grammar school when the instructor wanted to check and see if you actually read the book. You repeat the characters, their roles, and the plot without adding any interpretation or analysis. In a book review you should summarize the plot in less than two or three paragraphs. The remainder of the paper should be devoted to your interpretation and analysis of the characters, the plot and subplots, the author’s purpose and objectives and whether the book, in your opinion, was a good read. You will also want to tell how this book relates to what you are learning in the course. This same strategy should be used when writing your movie reviews. Do not simply tell me what the movie is about. Analyze the movie and tell me how it relates to what you have read in this course.
* It is imperative that you understand what a contraction is and how to use third person. If you do not know the difference between first and third person please contact Mr. Lesko. Please be advised that referring to you in a third person context is unacceptable. For example, do not state, According to Barbara Ann this is a good book. Simply state: This is a good book.”

Criteria in the discussion Rubric

Hazardous Waste Enforcement

This discussion has two options. Please select one of the following:
OPTION 1: Research a local, state, federal or international environmental organization that has the authority to fine or penalize individuals or businesses for hazardous waste infractions. An example is provided here for the state of Oregon. If you have a really hard time finding an organization, message the instructor for help.
EXAMPLE: Oregon Department of Environmental Quality – Calculation of Civil Penalties and Regulations
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Office of Compliance and Enforcement issues civil penalties and Department Orders on behalf of the DEQ director, who has been delegated to do so by the Environmental Quality Commission. When DEQ assesses a civil penalty, it calculates the amount of the penalty using criteria set forth in Oregon Administrative Rules Chapter 340, Division 12. Base penalties range from $100 per day for each Class III violation with a minor magnitude, to $8,000 per day for each violation with a major magnitude. Base penalties may be increased or decreased depending on specific factors according to Division 12.
Division 12
Give a brief summary or overview of the decision tree used to determine penalties or fines. The penalty tree is often very long and the website link would be fine to share. Using the decision tree you researched, pick one (or more) of the following four situations and determine what the penalty might be. Be creative if there is missing information.
You are an hourly employee making minimum wage at a major retailer. You have had employee training on the proper disposal of hazardous waste. A customer spills a jug of hydrochloric acid in the nursery. You clean it up per procedure, but it is late, you want to go home, and this job does not pay enough, anyway. So you take the hazardous waste spill clean-up material out back, look around to see if anybody is watching, then throw it all in the dumpster. As you turn around, the government environmental inspector is taking your picture and then taking a sample of the hazwaste in the dumpster. What is the potential penalty for you and for your company?
You have been running this dry cleaner business for almost 50 years now. Times have changed. All these computers and laws and crime…..just not like the old days. Maybe you should have retired years ago, but the great grandkids can use the money you still earn and share with them. The organic solvent used in cleaning is old and needs to be replaced. So you take it out back and dump it on the ground just like you have done, forever. Only this time, some guy is taking a picture; then, he is grabbing a soil sample. Several days later, an official looking letter arrives in the mail. What is the potential penalty for you?
You never finished that APUS environmental science degree because times got tough, but decided to go ahead and open up a small business to dispose of waste. “No job too small” was the motto on your business card. “No questions asked” was the hidden motto on the back side of the business card. After being fined several times by those guys at the county dump for trying to dump hazardous waste in the municipal waste area, you are starting to get annoyed and tired of this job. One more big disposal and you will have enough money to go back to school and move to a better location. So you fill your big rig with about 10,000 gallons (37,854 L) of some strange looking and smelly liquid that a shady guy gave you around midnight. An easy disposal….just open the valve on your truck and drive around town for a while until all the waste is gone. It is 4 AM now and the truck is half empty. Flashing lights appear in your rear view mirror. Busted! What is the potential penalty for you?
Without using company names or personal names, create a realistic scenario that you might have seen in corporate, military, or private life. Give a brief background like in the above three scenarios, then share this scenario with the class for them to determine the penalty. Come back to your main post later in the week and explain your thoughts on the potential penalty. You must complete this last part for full credit!
OPTION 2: The Media and Law
In several classes, students have made mention of how the media played a part in the environmental movement. The Cuyahoga River situation is the most obvious example here.
Hypothetical – you are a public figure or public official. You have taken a stand in your official capacity on an environmental issue. The media does not agree with your stand and has published information that places you in a bad light and contains many inaccurate facts about you and the environmental issue. What are your legal options for seeking justice?
Clues and considerations for definition and explanation:
Tort law – defamation (slander and libel)
Actual malice
Burden of proof
What prior court cases might apply? When you have exhausted your legal options, what are the chances you will prevail in court? Why? Please explain the above hypothetical legal situation in sufficient detail to promote understanding and discussion, and give any real life environmental issues or cases where a similar set of facts happened.

Observation Reflection

For this Assignment, you
will put theory into practice by using your research from Week 4 Assignment 1
to guide you. Traditionally, observation has been one of the most used types of
assessments in early childhood. This has both benefits and limitations. One
serious issue with observation is assumption by the observer. This often occurs
when there is no clear purpose established before the
observation. In other words, a specific purpose for the observation has not
been established.
By examining two
different age groups for the same skill or developmental area, you can make
comparisons on not only the area observed, but also on the effectiveness of the
assessment(s). As educators, you must be cognizant of the strengths and
weaknesses of the assessments you use, as well as their intended purpose. There
is no one-size-fits-all in early childhood education.
To prepare:
·
Before completing your
observations, review the Required Media found in the Learning
Resources of this module.
·
Research, then select or create an
instrument based on your research used for observing children at play to
identify a selected skill, developmental area, or other. Use this instrument
during your observations. You may elect to use the same instrument, if
appropriate, or select an instrument for each grade group, but this instrument
should measure the same skill or area for both groups (total of two
instruments, one for the younger group and one for the older group).
Upon completion of your
observations:
·
Reflect on your observation of two different
children at play. What developmental or emerging content knowledge did you
note? How do you know this is accurate?
·
Examine your notes and reflect on
the content. Were these accurate facts or were personal thoughts and feelings
reflected? How could you improve your personal observations?
Submit an analysis that addresses the following:
·
What were the strengths
and weaknesses of the instrument(s) you found or created for observing play?
·
Should the instruments
have been modified? Why or why not?
·
How could you share this
information with families or with colleagues as a teacher leader?
·
Clearly identify the
purpose of the observation and explain how you considered culturally responsive
practice.
·
How do you know your assessment
practices are fair and equitable?
·
How do you know this is
developmentally appropriate (DAP)?
·
How do you target skills
to be assessed?
·
How do you schedule
assessments, and what are these (content)?
Complete a 2- to 3-page analysis using your research,
and include a copy of the selected instrument. Page length does not include
title page, reference page, or instrument for assessment.
Cite your
research and provide appropiate references in APA format to substantiate your
thinking.
