Merck, in fact, epitomizes the ideological nature--the pragmatic idealism--of highly visionary companies. Our research showed that a fundamental element in the "ticking clock" of a visionary company is a core ideology--core values and a sense of purpose beyond just making money--that guides and inspires people throughout the organization and remains relatively fixed for long periods of time.

Several factors can contribute to long-term organizational success. One is the establishment of a core ideology that Collins and Porras (2002) describe as "core values and sense of purpose beyond just making money" (p. 48). Also, the importance of a visionary leader that guides and inspires people throughout the organization and remains relatively fixed for long periods of time is hard to over emphasize.

Answer:
Instructions are listed below
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Suppose Sally borrows $1,000 from Harry for one year and agrees to pay a nominal interest rate of 9%. When she borrows the money, both she and Harry expect an inflation rate of 6%. Suppose that when Sally pays back the loan after one year, the actual inflation rate turns out to be 7%.
Real rate= nominal rate - inflation rate
At the beginning of the loan, the expected real rate is:
Real rate= 9 - 6= 3%
The actual rate is:
Real rate= 9 - 7= 2%
Answer:
d. $757,991.26
Explanation:
Present value of inflows=cash inflow*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
= (325,000/1.10) + (425,000/1.10^2) + (450,000/1.10^3) + (400,000/1.10^4)
= $1,257,991.25743
NPV = Present value of inflows - Present value of outflows
NPV = $1,257,991.25743 - $500,000
NPV = 757991.25743
NPV = $757,991.26
