9-1 Project Submission: Acquisition Proposal

In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies:

Prepare and present internal and external reports.
Monitor and evaluate performance.
Recommend opportunities for performance improvements.

Scenario
You are a former Navy officer and fighter pilot, and you are now the controller of a division of TransGlobal Airlines, a large organization that operates a fleet of corporate jets for charter at several airports in the southeast part of the United States. Your division’s private charter clients include several Fortune 500 companies in the region. The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) has informed you that the company is considering the acquisition of two smaller aviation firms in the region specializing in chartered flights for luxury vacations using light aircraft (60 passengers or less). The CFO has tasked you with assessing the organizational benefits of acquiring these aviation firms. The CFO intends to develop a new business plan for the organization if your analysis recommends moving forward with the acquisition.

After an initial assessment, the company has shortlisted two airlines, Company A and Company B, to examine further for acquisition. To understand all aspects of the two airlines under consideration, you have visited each proposed site to assess their performance. The assessment included creating a balanced scorecard for each airline with all four components, financial, internal processes, customers/market, and learning and growth, that will impact the acquisition of each firm.

The CFO has asked you to generate two scenarios for the proposed acquisition based on your analysis and governing or predictive assumptions. They include a worst-case scenario that considers the most serious outcomes that could occur if anticipated targets and assumptions are dramatically wrong; and a best-case scenario if anticipated targets and assumptions significantly exceed forecasts.

Based on your assessment and analysis of the companies in Milestones One and Two, you will create and deliver a PowerPoint Presentation for senior management’s review and analysis. You will also write an executive summary with your recommendations for the leadership team.

Select a timely media news story (must be published AFTER January 1, 2023) of personal interest to you. After you have selected your news story, then find the same news story reported from TWO other news sources (reputable, credible sources that also have been published since January 1, 2023).

The Rise in Electric Vehicles Sales

This paper simply needs new sources and they can only be ONLY from CNN, FOX, MSNBC, or NBC.
Select a timely media news story (must be published AFTER January 1, 2023) of personal interest to you. Partial or biased news is any news story or report that seems to be lacking key important facts, statistics, and/or reliable, verifiable evidence to support the writer’s claims. Instead, the story may contain “alternative facts,” inflammatory/sensory-laden or biased language, unsupported yet heavy persuasive claims, inequity issues that go unaddressed, or show signs of ethical breaches. Select a news story from a traditional news source (CNN, FOX, MSNBC, etc.).

IMPORTANT: Do not choose a story from a social media site news that shows up via click bait, satirical sources made for the purpose of entertaining, etc.
After you have selected your news story, then find the same news story reported from TWO other news sources (reputable, credible sources that also have been published since January 1, 2023). It would be fantastic if you could find the same news story reported by a member of a different demographic community (for example, a novice versus seasoned journalist). Yes, at this point, you will have read the same news story THREE times from THREE DIFFERENT news sources.

NOTE: The title and story of the paper stays the same, however the sources need to be changed to the more traditional source outlets listed above.
