Think of the group experiences you have had at work, at home, at school, or in any formal or informal organizational environment. Think of “organizational environment” as simply meaning a group of individuals that get together to pursue a goal. Think of a specific example from those experiences, and see which one of the models of group dynamics best applies to that example.
Choose specifically one from the following theories: the stages of group development, the punctuated-equilibrium model, collective efficacy, cohesion, or social loafing. You can choose an example where the group was highly effective, or an example where the group dynamics became an obstacle to performance.mics

: We will be looking closely at deontology this week, as well as utilitarianism, and we will be discussing the basis of morality. Deontology is just a means of understanding normative morality. You can do this by applying such things as Kantian Absolutism or Divine Command Theory to problems of a moral nature. This week I want you to use the readings for the week to help you create an argument for or against the culture of the N. discussed in Brockmeier's, "The Jesus Stories." What can you say of them as people and of their philosophy? What would be their collective sense of morality? What does Brockmeier hint that it is? **10 or so well-rounded sentences are required for your initial posting**

Banks are financing acquisition projects, i.e. for Venture
Capital funds. An exemplary project shows the following data:
A
VC fund purchased the target company on 1.1.2020 for a price of
€300k at a Price/EBIT-multiple of 7.5x. 40% of the purchase price
is funded by equity of the VC, remaining amount by bank loan at an
interest of 10% p.a., collateralized by the shares of the target
company. The loan will be repaid on 31.12.2023, accrual for loan
repayment is planned pro rata annually. All cash flows related to
the purchase will be pushed down into the target company’s
P&L.
The
target company runs operationally at annual revenues of €150k in
2020, growing each upcoming year at 4%, while operational costs in
2020 are at €-110k at a future growth rate of 2% year-on-year. In
2020, EBIT is €40k. Operational interest is at €-6.0k (and will be
stable for the upcoming years). Tax rate is 30%. There are no other
operational P/L impacts.
The
VC plans to sell the company on 31.12.2025 (= after 6 years) at a
Price/EBIT-multiple of 7.5x which was the same at purchase.
Please complete the financial model of the transaction based on the
xls-table below. In case of lack of data, please take a reasonable
assumption for your subsequent calculation. Please calculate the
planned annual profitability of the VC fund and the overall
internal rate of return. As the financing bank, what is your
recommendation in respect to the transaction and its risks and
benefits?

Before shopping on-line became very popular with consumers a few years ago, 10% of retail outlets in Canada closed their doors each year (i.e., went out of business). A random sample of 200 retail outlets across Canada which were open at the beginning of 2019 were randomly selected for a study. At the end of 2019, 25 or these outlets were no longer open. At the .10 level of significance, is there sufficient evidence that the proportion of all Canadian retail outlets that closed in 2019 is greater than the proportion that closed before shopping on-line became very popular? In answering this question, complete the following in the spaces provided (including diagrams):
Please provide hypothesis, test staistic, decision rule, p-value, and conclusion.

our world that are related to either magnetism or
electromagnetism. The technology can be directly related
to these topics or just a snowball effect and only somewhat related
to them.
Yo should include:
3 examples of technology
Explanation how the technology helps humans (or will help them in
future)
Explanation how the tecnology is related to magnetism or
electromagnetism
