DISCUSSION ESSAY

There is some, limited evidence to suggest that working as a firearms officer (where decisions made as part of a working day can mean life of death) is strongly linked to PTSD (Bär et al., 2004; Carlier et al., 1997) … There is some contradictory evidence that suggests that the initial psychological screening of firearms officers and ongoing support results in them reporting lower levels of stress than other officers (Sheard et al., 2019).

What are the most common measures of central tendency? What information is provided by each of these measures and what do they tell us? How could you use measures of central tendency in decision making as a leader and/or manager?

DISCUSSION QUESTION

Population parameters or population characteristics can be estimated by taking representative samples of a population. In other words, conclusions about an entire population can be inferred from a sampling of that population. This sampling of the population can then be examined, and inferences made about the general population it represents. Various measures provide different types of data or measures of data from which conclusions can be derived. Examples of these types of measures are Measures of Central Tendency and Measures of Dispersion.

Address one of the following prompts in a brief but thorough manner.

**What are the most common measures of central tendency?
**What information is provided by each of these measures and what do they tell us? How could you use measures of central tendency in decision making as a leader and/or manager?
**What are the various measures of dispersion?
**What are the uses of these measures and what are their limitations?
**What does each of these measures tell a researcher? A leader or manager?

U Ltd. belongs to risk class of capitalization rate which is 14%. It has currently 3000 shares outstanding at Rs. 50 each; during the year Rs. 5 is declared as dividend. The net income of the company is Rs. 83,000. For the new project investment is required of Rs. 1,20,000. Calculate under MM hypothesis that the payment of dividend does not affect the value of the firm. (Ans. dividend paid Rs. 52 number of equity shares 1000 and value of the firm Rs. 1,50,000. Dividend not paid Rs. 57. Number of equity shares 37000/57 shares (approx. 650 shares) Value of the firm is Rs. 1,50,000)

X Ltd., had 25,000 equity shares of Rs. 100 each outstanding on 1st April, the shares are issued at par in the market, the company removed restraint in the dividend policy, the company ready to pay dividend of Rs. 15 per share for the current calendar year. The capitalization rate is 15%. Using MM approach assuming that no taxes, calculate the price of the shares at the end of the year:

  • (a) When dividend is not declared.
  • (b) When dividend is declared.
  • (c) Find out the number of new shares that the company issues to meet its investment needs of Rs 15,00,000 assuming that net income of Rs. 7,50,000 and assuming that the dividend is paid.

The following information is available in respect of a companys capitalization rate is 15% earnings per share Rs. 75. Assured rate on investment is 14% , 12%, 10%. The effect of dividend policy on market price of shares applying Walter’s model the dividend payout ratio is (a) 0% (b) 40% (c) 60% (d) 100%)

The following data are available for R Ltd.

  • — Earnings per share Rs. 8
  • — Rate of return on investment 16%
  • — Rate of return to shareholders 12%

What do people with fixed mindsets focus the most on? How do both mindsets view effort? How do both mindsets view obstacles? Can you think of any fixed self-limiting beliefs that have held you back from achieving your dreams?

Reflection:

After watching the TED Talk on the power of belief, Eduardo Briceno shares Waitzkin’s story, and how his knowledge of the growth mindset helped Waitzkin take the lessons of success he had learned through competing with the toughest chess competitors in the world and use it as a formula for immense success throughout his life .https://youtu.be/6dluwVks444

Waitzkin once said, “The moment we believe that success is determined by an ingrained level of ability, we will be brittle in the face of adversity.”

As known from the work of Carol Dweck, there are two different kinds of mindsets: a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. Briceno shares: “People with a fixed mindset worry most about how they are judged, while those with a growth mindset focus the most on learning.” Another factor is effort. People with a fixed mindset view effort negatively, i.e., the more effort they have to put in, the less good they must be at it. They judge themselves for having to try harder. Conversely, those with a growth mindset view effort as the avenue toward getting better, stronger, smarter, etc.

From athletes to musicians to chess champions, research has shown that the greatest indicator of success is not talent, but rather, a champion’s mindset.
