Personal Value Assessment
The purpose of this assignment is to assess personal value in light of professional goals. In the same way that an organization performs with greater intention and cohesiveness when its employees and stakeholders are all working with a communal sense of purpose toward a shared goal, you will be able to better and more successfully shape your future when you have a clear idea of who you are, the value you offer, and what you ultimately want to achieve. Your personal vision provides the framework for your goals by reflecting your aspirations for the individual you hope to become. And more concretely, your personal mission defines the areas in the industry where you intend to compete and the customers you intend to serve. Together, your vision and mission statements offer a foundational identity, defining who you intend to serve and in what capacity (your mission), and how those elements will help you shape your intended future (your vision). Based on what you have read in the study materials, develop your own personal vision and mission statements from the perspective of yourself as a business professional, supported by a goal plan that will enable you to achieve your vision in the next 5 to 10 years. Include the following in your 1,000-1,250-word response: Define your personal vision and mission statements. List a minimum of five SMART goals you will need to achieve to reach your vision and describe how these relate to your overall personal strategy. Identify significant personal standards or principles you hold and discuss how they guide, limit, or circumscribe your stated vision, mission, and goal plan. What do you need to do (or keep doing) to ensure that you reach your vision and achieve your mission? How will you monitor and modify your plan to measure success in achieving your outlined goals? How do the vision, mission, and values you have outlined create a competitive advantage for yourself in the job market? How would the leader of a business organization use these same elements to create competitive advantage in the industry? How is the process of setting, measuring, and modifying your personal vision, mission, and goal plan different from that required by the leader of a small company? How does this process differ from that required by the leader of a large corporation? Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required. This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.

This assignment is formulated to get you a little more comfortable with how to read and interpret a basic income statement, a balance sheet, and a cash flow statement. If you have diligently completed all of the steps above, even if the numbers don’t make complete sense, you’ll do fine on this assignment.

So, when the presenter starts talking about the Income statement, stop the presentation, make a screenshot (PRTSCR on keyboard) and copy and paste it to your first tab in an Excel workbook. Do this same procedure for all three financial statements using one Microsoft Excel workbook that you will submit. Put each statement on a separate tab and label the tabs accordingly. There is no template for this project, you are on your own to design a professional looking Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement. Proforma numbers are needed and include appropriate sums, nets, totals, averages, etc. I will be checking that each form “foots” to the bottom of the form. and that each sheet works properly.

Markets Globalization and Cultures
For this week’s reflection paper, please put yourself in the shoes of Heiko Maas, German Foreign Minister (seen below). Heiko represents the most powerful economy in Europe. He is surrounded by dependent countries, sometimes bitter, competing national and regional interests, disintegrating European partnerships and now the economic calamity caused by COVID -19 but not as much in Germany due to them responding very aggressively early on when the disease began to spread. Using the knowledge you have acquired so far in the readings, identify three areas he must focus on in the next 2 years. One item must be a soft skill and the other two are “hard” areas – think trade, regulations etc. Give your rationalization for the soft skill and why it is important, now more than ever. Where, when will you use it and with whom? For the hard areas, define the goals of each, describe an approach or strategy to make them effective and finally, how, where, and when should he (you) best present them to the world. This is a creative exercise in real world diplomacy. Points go to well thought out, viable ideas and not just reflective writing to complete the assignment.
