In the essay "Beholding", the author spends a good deal of time discussing different perspectives on staring, visual activism, etc. Please describe a time when you were "beheld" and how that interaction changed you. (These do not have to be negative experiences.....feel free to share a positive one if you'd like.)

A leading author in accounting and finance, Alfred Rappaport
focuses in his work on the importance of a firm's management
continually taking steps that increase shareholder value. In a
recent article he set out his "Ten Ways to Create Shareholder
Value:"
1. Do not manage earnings or provide earnings guidance; do not
focus on earnings as it reflects neither the company's value or the
change in value over the reporting period.
2. Make the strategic decisions that maximize expected value, even
at the expense of lowering near-term earnings; this may mean
divesting units that do not contribute to the company's long-term
strategic goals though they do contribute to current profits.
3. Make acquisitions that maximize expected value, even at the
expense of lowering near-term earnings; do not make acquisitions
that improve only current earnings per share, but those that are
expected to contribute to long-term value.
4. Carry only assets that maximize value; continually review assets
and be prepared to sell units, brands, real estate, or other assets
that can be sold for a price that is greater than their value to
the company.
5. Return cash to shareholders when there are no credible
value-creating opportunities to invest in the business; through
cash dividends and stock buybacks.
6. Reward CEOs and other senior executives for delivering superior
long-term returns.
7. Reward operating unit managers for adding superior multiyear
value.
8. Reward middle managers and frontline employees for delivering
superior performance on the key value drivers that they influence
directly.
9. Require senior executives to bear risks of ownership just as
shareholders do.
10. Provide investors with value relevant information.
Required: Based on Chapter 20, identify managerial concepts that you would apply for each of the 10 steps. Compensation concepts, management comp programs, business valuation techniques. Please do not simply write "Book Value" valuation. Explain why you would use such concepts and valuation models and why.
