Week 1

 

In chapter seven (7), we have learned from “The Path to Information Value” that 70% (seventy percent) of managers and executives say data are extremely important for creating competitive advantage.

In addition, it is implied by the authors that, The key, of course, is knowing which data matter, who within a company needs them, and finding ways to get that data into users hands.

Based on the company you have identified for your Final Paper, discuss 1) the data that matters to the executives in that industry, 2) who, within that industry, needs that data, and 3) some methods for ensuring that the critical data gets into the users’ hands.  Remember to respond to two other learners’ post, letting them know if they missed any data or details in their industry.

The Health Care Delivery System Then and Now

The first question in this discussion is opinion and/or experience-based, so jump right into the discussion immediately. For subsequent questions please meaningfully integrate your readings including the text, articles, and module notes into your posts.

1. In your opinion: how does the health care experience differ for you today compared with that of your parents and grandparents generations?

Now, lets start applying your course materials as we go through the questions together, one at a time. I will guide us through.

2. Looking at our history as a nation, what historical events do you believe may have particularly impacted how the health care delivery system is today? Please explain.

3. How have the roles and functions of the US health care delivery system changed over the past 50 years? How about the past 10 years? Consider how these changes in function and role have also altered the way we structure the health system and how various stakeholder groups are impacted.

4. To close out our first discussion, we have talked about the history and the makeup of our health care delivery system. You had opportunity to read about the health care systems of several other countries. How do we compare with other countries? Do you find our system stronger than one or more other countries in certain ways? Weaker? Were there facets of another countrys system that you would like to see the United States potentially incorporate? Provide examples from your course materials.

May 6th, 2020 Education Comments Off on CAPM

CAPM

The , or CAPM, is used to price an individual security or portfolio. The general idea behind CAPM is that investors should be compensated in two ways, for the time value of their money and risk incurred. The model helps investors calculate risks and what type of return they should expect on their investment. The time money value is represented by the risk-free rate, usually a 10-year government bond yield, and compensates the investors for placing money in an investment over a period of time. That is added to the other half of the formula which represents risk. It calculates the amount of compensation the investor needs for taking on additional risk. This is done by taking a Beta, which measures a stock’s volatility, and multiplies by its premium. The premium is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate of return from the expected return of the market. For example, the expected return of a stock can be figured out in the following way using a model. If the risk-free rate is 3% the Beta or risk measure of the stock is 3 and the expected market return over the period is 11%. The stock is expected to return 27%. In short, if the expected return does not make the risk worth it, the investment should not be made.

Respond to the following questions:

  • You are the chief financial officer (CFO) of a multi-physician clinic. Do you see weaknesses or strengths in the capital asset pricing model (CAPM)? Explain your response and support it with examples. Include a consideration of the small market line (SML).
