hough corporate capital structure (also called capitalization) and corporate financial structure are closely related, they do have some significant differences. Financial structure is determined from the full liabilities and equity position on the firm’s balance sheet, looking at the total liabilities, both long- and short-term and the equity used to fund the organization. Whereas corporate capital structure looks at the mix of equity and long-term liabilities—primarily debt. In other words, capitalization is the portion of funds raised by selling shares and financial structure is the portion raised by selling bonds.

Determining the optimal financial or capital structure for a domestic U.S. firm requires in-depth analysis of a variety of factors. For multinational or global firms, the analysis can be much more complex than for domestic business organizations.

As a member of the finance team for the MNC Getting Bigger All The Time, Inc. (GBATT ), you have been asked by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to lead a general discussion on some of the complications and different risks in capitalizing an MNC and managing its financial structure. The CFO has asked that you specifically cover the risks associated with currency denominations, economic and legal issues, and the different government roles.

The CFO recommended a couple of sites for gathering information.

Using the module readings, Argosy University online library resources, the Internet, and the sources cited above, do the following:

  • Explain, with examples, how risks associated with currency denominations, economic and legal differences between countries, and the different governments’ roles and attitudes toward business can affect MNCs’ risks, capital structure and financial structure decisions.

Entrepreneurship 

Case: P’kolino Financials

This case (found at the end of chapter 9) consists of the financial exhibits from the P’kolino case analyzed in a previous lesson. The P’kolino financials are pretty detailed; they should begin to acquaint the new entrepreneur with the sort of financial planning needed to get a substantial enterprise off the ground. Please pay special attention to the financial assumptions—numbers alone are just gobbledegook. They need to be based on real assumptions connecting projections to the real world.

 Please answer the following questions in the discussion:

  1. How do the common-sized income sheet ratios compare to      industry standards? Can you explain the variances in a way the makes the      projections seem sound?
  2. How do the revenues per employee compare to industry      standards? Again, can you explain the variances?
  3. Do the financial projections accurately capture all the      expenses that are implied in the written plan (refer back to the previous      case)?
  4. Is the proposed financing sufficient to cover the      company’s cash flow needs? What happens if sales are not as high or quick      to materialize as expected?

Technology, Innovation, Change, And The Legal Implications Of A Modern Business Model

/in /by

Provide a discussion response to the statement below with a minimum of 125 words of substantive content and references cited in APA format. No copying and pasting of work previously done for someone else. 

  

Describe the different ways that companies are leveraging technology, innovation, robotics, and artificial intelligence to create a competitive advantage in their industry. Next, provide an example of an industry that has been severely impacted by innovation and technology and share your perspective on this change. 

In today’s business world technology, innovation, robotics and AI are not an option they are a must-have. Technology can do everything from helping a customer maneuver through a company website to assisting them in tracking when their pizza is delivered. Companies use technology in ways we would have never conceived twenty years ago.  Companies are always trying to find ways to one-up the competition and this has really become a challenge with all the new technology that is out there. Companies today are leveraging technology to challenge society and to benefit communities from both an economic benefit and an environmental benefit.

One of the most significant industries that have been impacted by innovation and technology is the telecommunication industry. With the new push to 5G technology there is a vast ongoing opportunity for change. Stop and think about when the first cell phone came out and the size of it, you had to carry it in a bag and few people had one. Now everyone has a cell phone and no one still has a landline in their home. But with this technology came the iPad, laptops and notebooks. The telecommunication industry has grown over the last twenty years thanks to technology.

Speculate on the legal implications you can foresee during this transition from the Traditional Brick and Mortar business to the fully automated industries of the future. Next, discuss significant challenges of the current legal system with keeping up with changes in technology. Provide support for your response.

So of the things you will need to take into account when transitioning to e-commerce business is privacy, intellectual property, spam, electronic transactions, technology risk, and protecting IT data.  Then there are also trademark infringements, advertising infringement, data retrieval and data integrity. All of this needs to be considered when starting up an online business. Then there is the legal system that has to keep up with the changes in technology. Each state has different compliance law and then they also need to keep up with all federal regulations. The laws have not kept up with all of the advances in technology. You can look at the right to privacy law as a prime example. So if you post something on your private Facebook page can someone use it against you? Then there is DNA laws and what you can and can’t do with that information. But it comes down to is it legal and if it is legal is it still ethical. Until the legal system catches up with the technology industry there will always be questions.
