Choose three topics covered in the module (e.g. perception, teamwork, culture, misbehaviour/ resistance, leadership, change, motivation). Critically review academic sources on your chosen topics and identify relevant theories, concepts and findings from available academic research which you will later use to analyse your chosen company.
You can decide to use one or two topics as your main focus, and supplement them with sources on the third topic, or devote an equal amount of space to each of the topics.
Analyse a company of your choice (so your case study company) using the relevant theories, concepts and findings from your review of the academic research. Draw conclusions from your analysis or give relevant, well supported, practical and future-oriented recommendations for the chosen company.
The assignment should consist of two parts:
Part 1. Review of relevant academic sources
Briefly introduce your focus.
Critically review relevant academic sources on the selected three topics. Focus on sources which will help you in the analysis of your chosen case study company.

Business 365Case Assignment – Arundel PartnersReport Due: December 4, 2020 by 11pmThe CEO of Arundel Partners would like a report and presentation detailing the viability of Arundel’s business model. Specifically, they would like concise answers to the questions below. They would like the answers in the form of a three to four-page report (excluding attachments) and are willing to sit in on a brief presentation that brings across the main points of the report. 1)There are two possible reasons why Arundel Partners wants to enter the sequel rights business: a.Studios undervalue sequel rights, allowing Arundel to purchase them cheaply.b.Studios are willing to sell sequel rights for low prices in order to get the cash they often desperately need to finance the first film.Discuss why the first reason is unlikely to be a sustainable business model and the second reason is more likely to be sustainable in the long-run.2)Create a general timeline showing the production and release of both a first film and its sequel. Discuss the best time at which Arundel should purchase the rights to a sequel. Justify your reason in the context of information asymmetries. (That is, the private information that Arundel or the movie studio might know about the potential profitability of a sequel at various points in the timeline.)3)Suppose that Arundel purchases the sequel rights to all 99 movies from Exhibit 7 and exercises every option to produce a sequel. Exhibit 7 provides the average cost (at t=3) and average cash inflow (at t=4) for a sequel. What is the NPV at t=0 of producing a sequel, on average? Discuss. Assume a discount rate of 12 percent here and throughout the assignment. 4)Suppose that Arundel purchases the sequel rights to all 99 movies from Exhibit 7 and chooses to only exercise the rights to the sequels that seem profitable. That is, those hypothetical sequels from Exhibit 7 that have a one-year return greater than 12 percent.1a.How many sequels would Arundel produce? b.What is the total PV of net inflows at t=4 from these sequels? c.What is the total cost at t=3?d.What is the NPV of producing these sequels?e.What is the maximum Arundel would be willing to pay for the 99 sequel rights?1 You should invest in projects that provide a return greater than your discount rate; recall the internal rate of return (IRR) rule from introductory finance.
5)Some of the assumptions used in question 4(e) may not be feasible. Discuss the following assumptions:a.Are all movies “sequelizable”? Present a list of the movies for which you chose to make sequels in Question 4(a) and discuss why some of those sequels are not possible.b.Suppose Arundel only has the resources to make ten sequels. Choose ten movies from your answer in 4(a) and present your choices. What is the maximum Arundel would be willing to pay for the 99 sequel rights, based on this choice of ten movies?c.Movie studios are sometimes reluctant to hand over sequel rights after observing the success of the initial film. Could you see this being a potential problem?d.Are there any other reasons why it might not be possible to produce a sequel?e.Discuss any other potential roadblocks to the success of Arundel’s business model.6)A studio manager stated that she would not turn down $2M per sequel right. If you paid $2M per sequel right, are you purchasing them for less than what they are valued?The case report should be three to four pages (use the default spacing in Microsoft Word) with any useful tables or graphs attached. A one-paragraph executive summary should be included at the beginning of the report. The report should be presented in a professional manner and read as a cohesive document so that the CEO can easily understand your main points. If you need to make any assumptions, make them clear. Calculations should be relegated to an appendix. A report that consists of a mess of calculations and numbers or a series of random paragraphs pasted together would not be acceptable. The case report should be presented cohesively and in a professional manner so that the CEO can easily understand your main points. The report should be informative, concise, and should keep the readerengaged.
Main objective of the assessment: the students can explain the nature and functions of business law generally, demonstrate an understanding of how legal rules and developments impact on that business organisations and can evaluate the impact of legal principles on the provision of goods and services.
Description:
Maybridge Decorations Limited
In January 2002, Paul established a business Maybridge Decorations Limited (MDL). He hired his nephew James a few months ago to work with him as a driver. Paul and his wife Jill are the two shareholders of the company with each of them holding 50% shares. The company has expanded its operations and now turning over £2 million annually.
In June 2020, while James had suffered a hangover from overindulging in alcohol over the weekend, he was involved in an accident whereby he knocked down Daisy who was crossing the road while using her mobile phone. Daisy suffered a broken leg and was hospitalised for six weeks and could not cwork as model. The accident and the fact that Daisy had written MDL demanding compensation has made the news and led Maybridge Gallery to cancel paying MDL for a job carried out under a contract for redecoration it had with UDL, on the basis that the staff of MDL are irresponsible. Maybridge Gallery has served MDL with a letter notifying it of its intention to cancel the contract with immediate effect and has refused to pay for the services rendered.
In its initial reply to Daisy’s letter, MDL claimed that it was not responsible for James accident. MDL further claimed that James must bear the responsibility for the accident and pointed to a clause in James contract which reads;
“MDL will not be responsible for death, personal injury, damage or loss due to any act or default of its employees or any other cause whatsoever.”
Considering the above scenario
1) Advice Maybridge Daisy on whether her claim should be properly brought against James or MDL against James should be the proper.
2) Advice Maybridge Decorations Limited on the purported cancellation of the existing contract by Maybridge Gallery and the failure to pay for services rendered.
Answer should inc;ude reference to and discussion of any potential claims that could be made by Daisy against MDL and with the validity of Maybridge Gallery’s cancellation of the contract with Maybridge Decorating Limited.

The construction of a concept map helps us pull together information we already know about a subject while integrating new information as we learn and expand our understanding.
A map can also provide a kind of visual road map showing some of the pathways we may take to connect meanings of concepts using propositions (the connecting narrative, or justifications for linkages). They provide the scaffolding of an effective essay
