The presentation component will be delivered live in our classroom during the final exam session scheduled by the registrar and this written deliverable must be completed and uploaded as a word document here to this link by no later than noon on May 11th.&nbsp;&nbsp;Remember that if you have chosen to recommend a&nbsp;merger&nbsp;you will&nbsp;write &amp; present to either&nbsp;<strong><u>one<\/u><\/strong>&nbsp;of the two companies and If you suggest an&nbsp;acquisition&nbsp;you must write &amp; present to the buyer&nbsp;<strong><u>not<\/u><\/strong>&nbsp;the seller. The goal is that the company will follow your recommendation. You should treat this memo and the presentation each as one component of a package of information that together provides a comprehensive argument without any logical gaps and supported by compelling subarguments, evidence and data.&nbsp;<strong>You should be particularly intentional about how you segment your argument &amp; information between the written and oral component, keeping in mind that the change in&nbsp;<\/strong><em><strong>medium<\/strong><\/em><strong>is meaningful.&nbsp;<em>Written documents are well-suited for checking boxes that are necessary to providing a comprehensive argument whereas a live oral presentation is well-suited for selling core ideas and connecting the dots in a way that leads the decision maker(s) to a &#8220;YES&#8221;.&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>In other words, the parts of your argument that are necessary to having a complete argument but are not ideas that you can really &#8220;sell&#8221; someone on should go in a memo and the concepts you can significantly impact the decision makers&#8217; understanding and perception of should be addressed in the live presentation.&nbsp;Ideally, you should keep your memo to around 600 words (word count does NOT include to\/from lines or footnotes\/endnotes. However, since you will be incorporating supportive data, you can go beyond that (within reason) if necessary to make a solid argument.&nbsp;Each student\u2019s ideal memo will be somewhat different than other students\u2019 because each student has chosen a unique merger or acquisition to pitch. That being said, I strongly suggest organizing the memo as follows:&nbsp;<br>I. Executive Summary (one tight paragraph that conveys the entire core of your argument in broad strokes. Think of it as a thesis sentence like we used in previous memos but a full paragraph for it instead of one sentence.)II. The value (one short paragraph or even just a couple sentences that plainly articulates why they would benefit from your merger\/acquisiton)III. Feasibility (no particular length it will vary greatly amongst you. What do you project this will cost, how do you propose it be paid for, and why it is plausible that the other company will go for it.IV and beyond The first three items are needed for everyone in every scenario chosen. There will be other components you may deem wise to include as well in light of these instructions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have already done the presentation component. So you need to write about the Accolade company and 2nd.MD company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your task has been to identify a potential merger or acquisition between two firms and develop an argument to pitch [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.9 -
