Paper- CEO interview
Use the name Charles Vallier as the CEO the hospital name is University General in Houston. Everything else can be created. Evaluate Chief Executive Officer as Capital Allocator:
After the strategic and financial planning process has determined that the organization has sufficient resources, the task of determining how to deploy or allocate that capital begins. Capital allocation involves determining whether any or all of the many potential capital projects or initiatives generated during the planning process make sense for the organization.

The best practices approach to capital allocation for healthcare organizations is similar to that of other industries. It is based on a contemporary definition of capital, which extends beyond traditional items such as property, plant, and equipment to everything that appears on a cash flow statement. It includes items as working capital funding for investment, start-up losses, joint venture investments, and all other items that take cash out of the organization. The allocation plan must be based on good ideas worthy of investment with clearly articulated objectives and principles. The governing principles must state that all cash needs of the organization will be consolidated in one fund and that all parts of the organization has equal access to cash flow generated by the organization. Capital investment decisions must include all key stakeholders (team members) in the process of ranking and scoring capital requests. Best practice capital allocation allows management discretion but uses quantitative, rigorous analytics to provide a financial context for all decisions. Effective allocation of capital requires the coordination of the organization?s financial planning, budgeting, and allocation processes.

Conduct an interview with a hospital CEO, either by the telephone or in person, and evaluate the CEO?s belief that governance is the linchpin to success of a capital allocation process. Determine the organization?s commitment to involving all levels of management to project approval as opposed to being a strictly finance function. Is capital best practice capital allocation driven by calendar management?

Case Analysis :~t
Read the DATA CASE on page 477 on “Analyze relatively modest changes to Home Depot’s capital
structure.” Prepare your composition to cover the following topics or questions with in the Body
section of the paper described for this assignment:
1. What is Home Depot’s current capital structure? Provide in-text citations for your

DATA CASE
Data Case 477
You work in the corporate finance division of The Home Depot and your boss has asked you to
review the firm’s capital structure. Specifically; your boss is considering changing the firm’s debt level.
Your boss remembers something from his MBA program about capital structure being irrelevant, but
isn’t quite sure what that means. You know that capital structure is irrelevant under the conditions
of perfect markets and will demonstrate this point for your boss by showing that the weighted
average cost of capital remains constant under various levels of debt. So, for now, suppose that capital
markets are perfect as you prepare responses for your boss.
You would like to analyze relatively modest changes to Home Depot’s capital structure. You
would like to consider two scenarios: the firm issues $1 billion in new debt to repurchase stock, and
the firm issues $1 billion in new stock to repurchase debt. Use Excel to answer the following questions using Eq. 14.5 and Eq. 14.6, and assuming a cost of unlevered equity (ru) of 12 percent.

Individual Case Study

You are required to produce an individually written analytical paper in the form of a report, based on the Faslane case study (“Managing Change at Falsane” 3 pages) and the 3 questions below. Through your analysis of the case study your paper should demonstrate your understanding of a variety of strategy models and theories and should evidence wide academic reading. You should reference your work using the Harvard system. You should base your analysis on the case study; you are NOT required to do any additional research on the organisation. It is not sufficient to just apply models and produce diagrams or tables; you must also summarise and discuss your findings.

1) Describe the strategic change context in 2002, at the start of the change process at Faslane. You should apply Balogun and Hope Hailey’s Change Kaleidoscope and Lewin’s Forcefield Analysis and discuss your findings. You may additionally use any other relevant academic reading to develop and support your ideas.

2) Compare and contrast the internal features of the organisation when it was run by the MOD and Royal Navy (up to 2001) with when it was run by Babcock Marine (2002-2010).You should apply Johnson’s Cultural Web and McKinsey’s Seven S framework (do each twice – once for ‘up to 2001’ and once for 2002-10) and discuss your findings. What, for example, were the most significant differences? You may additionally use any other relevant academic reading to develop and support your ideas.

3) Comment critically on the Strategic Leadership style that was evident at Faslane during 2002 to 2010. You should compare the organisation against the Five Elements of Successful and Effective Strategic Leadership model (Lynch, 2008) and discuss your findings. You should use examples from the case and any other relevant academic reading to develop and support your ideas.

Read the following instructions in order to complete this assignment, and review the example of how to complete the math required for this assignment:

Read the article about Body Mass Index (BMI) on page 151 of Elementary and Intermediate Algebra. Use the formula given using pounds and inches for finding the BMI at the end of the first paragraph in order to find the four intervals the article mentions:

17 < BMI < 22 might have a longer life span than average

23 < BMI < 25 probably not overweight

25 < BMI < 29.9 probably overweight

BMI > 30 obese
You will use your height to plug into the formula to solve for W, the weight range that will go with each category. You may prefer to solve the formula for the variable W before plugging in values, which is fine.
Write a two to three page paper that is formatted in APA style and according to the Math Writing Guide. Format your math work as shown in the Instructor Guidance and be concise in your reasoning. In the body of your essay, please make sure to include:

Your solution to the above problem, making sure to include all mathematical work

A discussion on the computed weight ranges and some reasons why they could be misleading

An evaluation of the regions outside of the “probably not overweight” range using both set notation and interval notation. Include a simple graph of the regions. (See Instructor Guidance example for some ideas of how to do this.)

The incorporation of the following five math vocabulary words into your discussion. Use bold font to emphasize the words in your writing (Do not write definitions for the words; but integrate them into your discussion.):

Inequality

Equivalent

Compound inequality

Interval

Infinity
