...My final project proposal will be on Communication Crisis plan of Hurricane Katrina. I will discuss how there was failure of communication and what went wrong during this crisis. The crisis communication and management was not planned out correctly. From the outcome of the disaster, you can tell it wasn’t rehearsed to perfection. There were evacuation plans, but it didn’t cover all the publics in the state. For example, there were ill people that wasn’t able to evacuate. There were people with no means of transportation or gas to evacuate the storm. There were 112,000 people with no cars. A great number of people doubted there storm. They felt it wasn’t necessary to evacuate due to previous times when it was suppose to be a hurricane and it never hit. The first stage of a crisis is called prodromes. Which are warning signs of a crisis before it actually happens. Those great number of people ignored the signs because they never been through it. It was always a false alarm. Joel K. Bourne Jr. predicted this crisis. National Geographic Magazine published his piece a year before this disaster happened. It has been predicted by geologists for some time now. The First step of the crisis plan was the levees and flood walls built to protect New Orleans from the flood waters from Mississippi. The levees that were built wasn’t strong enough for all the different categories of hurricanes. So again, there were prodromes. The engineers warned them that hurricanes would destroy those...

...Final Business Proposal Paper Alison Rogers ECO/561 May 3, 2011 Dr. Jerry King Final Business Proposal Executive Summary I spent some time looking for a service that I can offer to clients from the comforts of my home and still earn a decent income to support my family. After a while, I came across the real estate note business. To understand this paper, let me explain what a real estate note is. A real estate note is a promise to pay. What you and I consider a mortgage or IOU that is registered at your local county courthouse. What I do is find these notes, determine their true value based off a formula and notify my list of buyers to see who is interested in making an offer. So now, I have created my home-based service off the current need within this market. The need is for professional note finders/locators. Buyers (or investors) are looking for good clean notes to invest in but don't necessarily have the time to spend researching every note they come across. They are will to pay for the service to be completed by a professional. Market Structure and Elasticity Currently my market structure is pure competition on the grounds that I must compete with other notes finders in order to locate, evaluate potential notes and close deals. This type of service is elastic because of the number of competitors and the fact that the clients could perform this service themselves with ample time and research. What makes a note finder effective is that we already...

...George Homoelle UNIV 101-019 1 February 2016 Career Assessment Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to be in charge of a company someday. The idea of making critical decisions and understanding the finances of a company have always been intriguing to me. Taking this assessment was really helpful, mainly because it confirmed most of my own ideas and hopes for what I want to do with my life. With my self-assessment, I was really impressed at how my eyes were opened with my thought process and how I make decisions. It showed me that I was very high in the conventional and enterprising areas; as well as artistic. None of this was much of a surprise to me, especially because I know that I like to do things with clear cut rules and regulations. I also learned that I can typically see patterns in things that lead to a solution, and the more I thought about it, the more I saw it to be true. With my skills assessment, I chose decision making, managing money, and persuasion. I love making tough decisions, as well as managing my own money, such as stocks or something. Persuasion is also something I really enjoy, yet can sometimes be a downfall with myself. In my values, though, I chose helping others, influence, and prestige. I have been on various missions trips and love helping people out, and I learned that my influence can also be extremely helpful to others. Prestige is something I put value in, mainly because I value respect from my peers and those around me. Ultimately...

...them more appealing and increasing their probabilities of leading the financing. However, they chose to bid to lose, with just enough terms to get into the second round to "protect their reputation", but not to lead. The deal started to become more attractive with the possibility of Disney awarding a sole lead arranger mandate and with the increased potential for a successful syndication. At this point, after Chase made it through the first round, they decided on a more aggressive final proposal where they would be very close to meeting most of Disney’s demands in order to win the deal. Although may not aggressive enough to lead in the first bid, it’s still a good strategy to pretend to bid to lose but make the short list and then bid to win. Three reasons: (1)not too aggressive from the very beginning, making the economics not so appealing, especially considering other competitors will bid very aggressively. (2)but aggressive enough to entre the short list. (3)not afraid to lose. If the final condition is not fit for profit purpose, may out. 2. Standard Commitment Letter The standard commitment letter established by Chase for the Disneyland project would have the following terms: 1. HK$300 million loan. 2. 15-year maturity. 3.
