Acquisition: Costco acquiring Sears

1) Under the assumption that your organization (the acquiring company) is in a growth mode, identify an acquisition target that is in keeping with your organization’s mission and strategy.

2) Perform the industry analysis.

3) Prepare a brief written proposal to the executive management team explaining your potential choice (or choices) for acquisition: overview of potential acquisition and why it makes sense to the parent. This is the “who, what, where, why, when, and potentially how.” You will want to consider many factors, including your industry as a whole and the current and expected economic climate.

4) Course Project: Executive Reports Part A—Internal Management

Prepare an executive-level report related to the target acquisition company’s financial and operational strengths and weaknesses that addresses the acquiring company’s internal management team. Key words are synergistic, opportunistic, and financial.

5) Report on what your research into the target company’s current financial and operating status is (this should include a financial statement review and examination of the footnotes in their annual report), and report it to your executive team and any key internal personnel. There should also be some consideration into how what is discovered makes the target a good (or bad) acquisition at this time.

6) Course Project: Executive Reports Part B—External Stakeholders

Prepare an executive-level report related to the target acquisition company’s financial and operational strengths and weaknesses that addresses the acquiring company’s external stakeholders. Key words are synergistic, opportunistic, and financial. This should reflect much of the information gathered for the internal management report, but it needs to be tailored to fit the parent company’s external stakeholders.

In one page answer the question in the second provide 3 supporting paragraphs. Murray is a fourth generation antique collector. His family immigrated to the Americas during the Irish Potato Famine and put aside every penny earned towards finding and buying Celtic collectables. Murray was on a trip to Cape Breton last summer when he wandered into an antique store and saw a rare Celtic stein on the shelf next to a bunch of other less notable ceramic wares. The only person in the store was a teenage summer clerk who looked like he would prefer to be hiking the Cabot Trail that sunny Wednesday afternoon. Murray picked up the stein and examined it, barely able to contain his excitement at the find. The clerk looked up lazily at Murray and said “five dollars” and promptly went back to his magazine. Murray’s hand was shaky as he paid the clerk and hurried out of the store. A few weeks later, Murray put the stein on an online auction site and sold it to collector in Colorado for $3.3 million.

Do you think there was a valid contract between Murray and the store? Does the store owner have any claim to part of Murray’s new fortune? Is there any possibility that the Colorado collector would not be able to keep the stein?

YOU TO EITHER DEVELOP THE CASE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE STORE.

Health and Welfare: Visit http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr005.pdf
(click on the web address to access the report), which includes 11 data tables relating to information on patients discharged from hospitals in 2006 [the data tables begin on page 9 of the report]. Choose two or three of the data tables and write a paper as described below.

Paper that contains the following:

1) The specific data tables/bases you selected- “Health and Welfare”

2) A brief description of the data sets (e.g. the variables examined in the data set, when the data were collected, etc.)

3) List three (3) distinct social regularities (see Babbie, 2013, pp. 6-7) that could be studied with the data sets you analyzed (list a total of three, not three for each data table).
a) Explain why studying each of these issues would be relevant — that is, why is it important that this data be analyzed and studied (how, and to whom, is this information of value)?

For example, if you chose data sets related to types of crimes and the victims of those crimes, a ‘social regularity’ that could be studied might be the type of violent crime and the victim’s race/ethnicity and/or gender. That is, a researcher would be trying to establish (through the data available in the data set) whether these is a pattern or regularity in regard to whether a person’s race/ethnicity and/or gender make them more likely to be a victim of various types of violent crimes. [Note: The instruction here states that you should list three “distinct” social regularities – so for instance, using our example of whether a person’s race/ethnicity and/or gender make them more likely to be a victim of various types of violent crimes, do not list that one regularity would be to determine whether African-American females are more likely to be victims of assault with a deadly weapon, and then a second regularity as to whether Hispanic males are more likely to be victims of homicide, and a third regularity as to whether White females are more likely to be victims of rape. Each of these regularities or patterns is important, but they are similar and not distinct, so the goal would be to come up with three ‘distinct’ or different regularities or relationships.]

4) Based on the three social regularities you identified in the previous step, specify the Independent Variable(s) and the Dependent Variable(s) in researching each of those three social regularities, with an explanation of why each specific variable is independent and dependent.

You can just state each of the topics listed and provide your answers. The number of points you receive will be based on the quality of your explanations (e.g. were the social regularities you cited relevant and interesting, etc.;?), whether your paper correctly identified the independent and dependent variables, as well as whether you have incorporated materials from the textbook.
