General Assignment Directions: 
Case assignments must be completed with a written 2-page study on the assigned case questions in the textbook.
The format requested for these assignments is based on elaborating and including two basic parts in the essay:
1) in a bullet presentation style (one phrase each bullet), list a summary of the key issues, situations, problems, opportunities and threats you may identify as relevant;
2) answer all the questions listed in each case in two or three sound paragraphs.
Use the APA style for these assignments.

Kickstarter is company that “help[s to] bring creative projects to life” (2020). It offers a platform
which allows entrepreneurs and artists a way to highlight their projects and to seek financial
capital from investors and consumers. These projects are in a wide range of categories: Arts,
Comics & Illustration, Design & Tech, Film, Food & Craft, Games, Music, and Publishing.
In group project 1, the class will form teams of 3-4 members (the instructor reserves the right to
modify the teams if needed). The details follow:
1. Your team will be assigned one of the highlighted categories from Kickstarter (see list
above). Your team may select any current project from that category (make sure that the
instructor confirms your selection).
2. Your team will simulate the following scenario: you have been hired as a project
management team by the entrepreneur with the goal of successfully bringing their
product to market—based on the information shown on the Kickstarter. Your team will
create a complete proposal for the entrepreneur, who will serve as your customer or
sponsor.
3. Your proposal to the customer should follow the framework for a project proposal as found
in chapter 3 of the textbook. See pages 70-75 of the textbook for more information. The
following chart is included for your reference.
4. Your proposal should be in the form of a typed paper. It will include a title page, citations,
and references (as needed). Use APA format. For the management section, create a
network diagram (flow chart) of the specific tasks that are needed for the completion of this
project. For reference, please see the example on page 118 in the textbook for more
information.
5. Your team’s completed project proposal is due at the end of Saturday, March 7th. One
person from each team will submit a single copy of their team’s completed work through the
link on Blackboard.

Required 
Prepare a business proposal to introduce a new strategic initiative/idea to senior leaders at an organization.
Please consider your audience and how you would persuade senior leaders by your tone and content when creating the proposal.
The proposal should be supported by research that includes:
(1) latest trends and innovative approaches/best practices in the industry,
(2) how the initiative will improve the business (employee satisfaction or financially),
(3) legal ramifications, if any, for not addressing the topic,
(4) budget requirements, and
(5) a communication/action plan to roll-out the initiative.
The initiatives should clearly define the role of HR, senior management, and business units respectively.
Please choose one of the following topics: benefits, diversity and inclusion, employee engagement, leadership, performance management, recruitment, retention, or training & development.
Proper reference citations required. Minimum 10 pages, not including references.

The chosen​ period is from 1990 to 2000​. you will research three sections of your final project as they relate to the 10-year historical period that you chose in Module One: gross domestic product, unemployment/inflation, and interest rate fluctuations. This should include a brief overview of the 10-year period between 1950 and today that you chose for this presentation.
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Growth Show a graph of real GDP growth rates for each year of your decade and highlight significant changes in growth rates, such as dips or negative growth (recession) or booms (economic expansion) Real GDP data can be found here at FRED, the research database of the St. Louis Federal Reserve – adjust the data to your 10 year period and use these numbers to calculate the growth rate Here is a video to introduce you to using the FRED site Choose two or three of the most relevant events from this time period that impacted the U.S. economy.
Apply specific models developed throughout the course to demonstrate how these events influenced national output during this time period. You can use the GDP formula to explain how an event impacted GDP growth. For instance, if there was large increase in military spending because of a war, we would expect to see an increase in GDP. Be sure the connections you make are supported by the data you present.
Analyze unemployment and inflation data as to their relation to output and growth, using macroeconomic principles and models to explain their effect.
Show graphs of both annual inflation rates and annual unemployment rates throughout your decade. Find data on inflation rates: Consumer Price Index Producer Price Index Find data on unemployment here Explain how inflation and unemployment are calculated for the data presented.
Discuss how changes in both are related to changes in GDP growth Apply specific models developed throughout the course to demonstrate how the previously selected events influenced both unemployment and inflation during this time period.
Discuss how the events impacted both economic indicators.
For the final draft, look to include our AD-AS model to illustrate how events led the changes observed in both.
Analyze interest rate fluctuations throughout this time period and their effects on other aspects of the economy.
Show graph of interest rates during your time period – there are different rate to choose from, like the Federal Funds Rate, the 3-Month Treasury Rate or the Bank Prime Loan Rate which will each give a sense of the level of interest rates and the trend throughout the decade.
Then discuss the following: How would these fluctuations affect/be affected by inflation? Would investments and foreign trade rates increase or decrease?
How would the GDP of the American economy be affected?
To answer the above questions, consider the relationship between interest rates and GDP
